THE TWO FOUNDATIONS OF OUR EXISTENCE AS WE APPROACH THE END 2 Preached on 30th July, 2000 At the Household of God Onitsha By APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN © BRIDAL FAITH MINISTRY WORLDWIDE

I have told you time without number that nobody should panic in this Faith. Be rest assured, TIME WILL VINDICATE WHO I AM. Whether you like it or not, as long as God liveth and I live, every tongue must confess it that: TRULY THE ELOHIM DWELLS IN THE SON OF MAN. –The Son of Man

From the Message: Wedding Update.

When you believe, all things are possible, but when you do not believe, nothing is possible. By the words of the Prophets, God can never tell lies. We are in the end time. The prophets foretold about the end time. The Lord spoke about the end time. I am in your midst as a confirmation that we are almost at the end; we are almost there.

 –Son of MAN (WE ARE ALMOST THERE, PP45-46, VS 10.)

WHAT YOUR ATTITUDE SHOULD BE AS WE APPROACH THE END

WHAT YOUR ATTITUDE SHOULD BE AS WE APPROACH THE END

We are the people to usher others into that promised “Rest.” Even the people that entered Canaan in the days of Joshua did not enter that promised rest. In other words, this has removed the ugly impression we have been having that, maybe, some people entered into Canaan as rest and we did not know. The Bible has cleared the doubt that from that time till today, nobody has ever stepped into that Rest. This Rest, what is it?

  • It is going to be one thousand years reign of Christ with His people here on Earth. Now it was the same way God who created the whole world in six days, on the seventh day, He rested and that one day He rested, the Bible said it is one thousand years. Is it biblical? Yes. It is not like one thousand. The Bible said it in Hebrews 4:9 that it is going to be one thousand years.
  • I will show it to you in Revelation 20 – one thousand years, not like, not as. We can rightly say that the world was created in 6000 prophetic years and God rested in one thousand prophetic years as one day. Who will not enjoy this? This is why I want to remain a boy till that day. Even if I have grey hair, surely that day, it will vanish, but I want to remain young and enter the Rest.
  • There is no generation that has ever come closest to the fulfillment of these prophecies except ours. I am telling you God’s truth. Check all the prophetic events that will mark the end of this generation, there are no people that lived here on Earth that have come closest to the fulfillment of these prophecies more than our generation and by this, I confirm that we are to wind up the history of Christianity (Salvation) because the moment the Bride goes into rapture, that is the end of Salvation to the Gentiles. When it gets back to the Jews, nobody is going to call it Christianity; it will not be Judaism; it will not be Christianity, but it will have a name.
  • What is going to be the name as it was from the very beginning? What will be there will not be ordinary individuals, it is going to be government of the people of God by God; it is going to be titled THEOCRACY. It is going to be theocracy, for He will be there as King all over the Earth. He will not be there as priest again, for if He is there as priest, it then means that there are going to be sacrifices again. For that reason, He (God) is going to rule as King of kings and Lord of lords. There will be no temple worship, no sanctuary sacrifices anymore. What is the essence of temple? However, from time to time, at the appointed day, everybody will converge at Jerusalem for a feast.
  •  I am talking to you on my foundation message: “As We Approach The End What Should Be Your Attitude?” I have seen that many peoples’ light have gone out completely. Some are dying gradually.
  • As I illustrated in some of my Messages, if you have a lantern and the oil is going out, you will notice that the flame will be going down gradually. It will not just go off at that time. It will come to a point, when if you shake the lamp, the light will glow high and when you drop it, it will go down again, so the thing will continue and it will come to the point where only thewick will be glowing, even if you pour fresh oil into the lamp tank, instead of picking up, it will die down.
  • I am here to give you extra oil. I do not want to fill your lamps; I have filled your lamps already. I want you to carry extra oil so that nobody will go about begging for oil. You know what I mean by oil? Oil means the Holy Spirit. If you did not believe before now, this is your time to clear every doubt and then anchor fully. However, if you have anchored fully from the beginning, anchor more.
  • The storm is coming up and gathering. If you cannot stand the test of time, you will be uprooted. For six days God created the world  and the seventh day, He rested and the Bible made it clear that once we enter this Rest promised by God, we will cease from human labour.
  • Remember, we have received the Seal of God as a guarantee that all that He promised to us He is going to do. When you have this hope in you, happy are you.
  • Let us crosscheck Scriptures more.
  • Revelation 20:6; “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.” (KJV).  
  • Who will be happy to reign with Christ a thousand years? Man and Woman, be sincere. You know what one thousand years means? Since the world began till today, no one has ever lived on Earth for one thousand years. In other words, no man has lived for one day. I am trying to show you that a day in His sight is one thousand years and He calls it Sabbath rest. We are coming closer.
  • Now, you believe it, believe also that the world was created in 6000 years and then He rested and after that Sabbath rest which He enjoyed alone, nobody has ever celebrated it again. Whatever you saw in the Law is the shadow of the main thing. The Bible said so. Whether you call it weekly Sabbath or yearly Sabbath, they are all shadows of the real thing. Nobody has ever enjoyed any Sabbath.
  • Till today, Israel has been warring. In spite of their Sabbath, they are still warring, but when we enter into the real Sabbath, wars will cease, rumours of wars will cease.
  • I believe somebody is coming up. The Bible can never tell lies, but history can tell lies; calendar can tell lies; the Bible cannot tell lies. Let us see where we are.
  • Isaiah 11: 6 – 9: “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
  • 7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
  • 8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’s den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
  • And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
  • And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.”  (KJV).
  • I think we are coming closer to something. Have you seen this type of atmosphere where nobody will hunt the lions again? When this comes to pass, then the Scripture is fulfilled that all creatures have been groaning, travailing in pains, waiting for the manifestation of sons and daughters of God who will liberate all creatures from the bondage of death and brutality.
  • Your little children will be playing with lions, playing with snakes and adders (a small venomous snake), all of us will be romancing wild animals and they will not hurt anybody. Was it not so in the beginning? Has it happened before? Yes!
  • In the beginning Adam was friendly to all of them. He gave them names and they were sojourning together. They were not enemies. Look at where we are heading. If within the 1000 years reign of Christ here on Earth, you get a report that a lion devoured a man, it is a false millennium. Because that time, Satan will be chained in the bottomless pit until 1000 years will be over.
  • Our song said that Satan shall be bound here on Earth a thousand years. You can now start visualizing the type of Sabbath Rest we are getting into, something Joshua and Moses never entered. No wonder the Bible said the prophets of old prophesied and peeped into this type of Grace and what manner of people these things shall be revealed to. They were thinking it will happen in their day only to hear the voice say: “Not in your day.”
  • The time is near even to our doorsteps. Events around us are confirming it. If you do not have any other reason to believe it, believe it because you have crossed the Laodicea Age. Laodicea Age finished with the messenger of that dispensation. He said that no other person is coming than the Person he foreran.
  • If we know exactly where we are; that the Bridegroom is in the midst of the Bride preparing her, we will rejoice.
  • Let Me tell you what I mean. If a man wants to dwell at peace with his wife, what will he do? Keep your answer to yourself, but I believe you know the answer. You believe that women are babies. If you do not see your wife as a baby, you cannot live at peace. Once you recognize she is a baby, you will have no cause to give yourself any headache. Forget about her age; age has no meaning as far as women are concerned. This is where I disagree with many people. It even gets worse as they advance in age, but, when a man is advancing in age, he becomes more cheerful, and happier.
  • However, when a woman is advancing in age she becomes more hostile. I will show you why.
  • Now, see her as a baby, spend time to train her, spend time with her. It is not a day’s job and make sure you blend her to suit your condition until both of you have become one, spiritually and physically. You may differ in your faces but you are one in other respects. Succeed in doing this, and surely you will live at peace with your wife, but if you just ignore the thing and keep on walking up and down like that, get ready. The thing will be growing from strength to strength until one day you will want to go out and she will block the door. Before you know it you will hear: “Our neighbours will hear us today!”
  • This is exactly what God is doing. God has suffered rebellion before and this time around, He is not ready to cherish any rebellion. Thus, He is now spending time to train His family so that He will dwell in eternal peace with them. Remember, when you enter into the millennium you have entered into your eternity.
  • Even during that predicted war, it will be supernaturals warring with naturals. You will be flying like horses and chariots of fire, slaughtering and slaughtering, no man, no woman because you are now supernatural beings. They will be seeing you as chariots of fire. You will be everywhere until you subdue the entire Earth and then destroy the dragon.
  • This is because when you roll into the millennium, you become indestructible. What Bakassi vigilant group is having is an impersonation of the original.
  • All I am trying to say is this: Whatever they are using for their outfit, a human being concocted it. Don’t you know that? Now, that one and the one God has formulated, which one is greater? If a human being can formulate this nonsense, how do you think that God will not far greater clothe you with indestructible bodies? Your eyes would not have opened yet. There is gain in serving God. When you are serving God and you are in the chosen place of worship where His will is revealed, you are daily comforted.
  • You see, we have over ten thousand police officers in Onitsha, Ovoko, Ogidi and the rest of them. For years they could not combat criminal activities, but few boys came with machetes and everywhere became calm. What do you think made the whole place to be calm? It is because of the painfulness of that machete.
  • If they were killing with ordinary rifles they will match fire with fire, but this time, because of the way they are killing, cutting people into pieces and nobody wants to pass through that type of death for everybody is scared and  everybody will be on the run.
  • Now, what is the power behind the young men? They are sure that if you use axe on them, it will not cut them, you pour petrol on them, it will be a waste of time. You use machete; it will not cut them. You use a rifle, bullet will not go into their body.
  • These things they are bragging with, human beings like you and I formulated it using natural things. Now, can you compare it with that of God? After all these things, he will suffer from malaria and typhoid; he will labour to eat. What is more, he is always afraid of death because he knows, one day, he will die. If nobody kills him, he will die naturally.
  • However, this one God has promised, when the time comes, malaria will be our friend, mosquitoes will be there, but they will not bite us. No typhoid, no appendicitis, no fibroid, nothing.
  • I thank God for what He is doing. In short, it is beyond our dreams and beyond that which we hope for. When you have that hope in you, who can seduce you away from the Faith? Who can seduce you away from the hope of your calling AS WE NEAR THE END?
  • We have seen that it is 1000 years from all respects, even down to the Book of Revelation, it is 1000 years; and within 1000 years we shall be friends to all animals, living creatures..
  • Follow Me gradually. I want to educate you. As we near the end you have to anchor your soul on no other place but the engrafted Word of God which is able to save your soul.
  • Isaiah 65: 25  Isaiah 65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.” KJV.  
  • When we believe the way of salvation that is preached to us, He gives us His Holy Spirit as a guarantee that He has purchased us and now it is a sure sign that He will give us all that He has promised us.
  • In this millennial reign (1000 years of rest) there will not be anything wild animal or wild this and that even the snake. Anywhere you get to and you want to sleep, you sleep if you can. In that condition you are already putting on immortality. So, even if any of them will try to attempt harming you, no way. This is because in the beginning we were to control them. It was when man transgressed that we lost control of those animals. Sin weakened us, and now there is no transgression amongst God’s people. We will put on immortality and go back there and then no fear of any wild beast again. In other words, there is going to be real righteousness on Earth, quietness, a quiet living.
  • I am sure also that the rain will not fall again. The dew will nourish the Earth. Everywhere will be garden. Anywhere you find yourself you will see beautiful fruits—those that love to eat carrots, apples and so on. That time, our women will be having seven-in-one because women will keep on having children but without labour pains. Our duties will be to reproduce and reproduce.
  • A woman will not be a man at that time; a woman will still remain a woman; a man will remain a man.
  • Let us see the way it was recorded in the Book of Revelation chapter 21. If it is confirmed in the Bible please believe it; if it is not, do not believe it. As we near the end you have to anchor your soul on the more sure word of prophecy.
  • Revelation 21:3 – 4  “And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.  And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away”. KJV.
  • The Bible is true. In other words, the sufferings of this present time will be nothing to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed if only we can endure till the end. Whatever you are passing through here, can you compare it with what is being revealed in the Bible awaiting the saints? No.

YOUR FLIGHT APPROACHES

  • You see why Satan is envying us? “What else can they have, but the Kingdom.” That is why he (Satan) vowed a vow that he will never live to see you make it. This was what Satan forfeited and he vowed that he will never see a human being benefiting from it. Already, we are there. I am one of them. You are one of them. By faith, I am there already. Nothing is pulling Me back. I have gone too far now.
  • If I should go back, where will I go? Will I go back to Deeper Life? Will I go to Charismatic? I will not fit in. Will I start a movement? What will I preach there? I have reached the point of no return. I have girded up My loins to see the end and I can see the end in sight. The end, I can see it in sight.
  • Even if Yasser Arafat fails to declare Palestinian State, please gird up your loins. Your flight approaches. Gird up your loins. I will be preaching; I will be talking to you, trusting God that one of these days, before your very eyes, maybe, while I am talking or while we are praising Him, you will see a Supernatural Light. The type we saw before. You think it is to carry you away, you see yourself dropping this useless garments (flesh). I am telling you the truth.
  • Starting from My very self to the least, we will be having a uniform – white; white robe; no suit, no tie, no plaited hair. Then, we will see the beauty of our sisters that time. All the braids you have will be a thing of the past because they are imitations. They will not enter there. The Holy Spirit will untie them and throw them away: “Behold, I make all things new”.
  • Keep on holding God at His Word. If He did not promise it, do not believe it. He is making all things new. All these things we are passing through now, the Bible says that they will be a thing of the past. Your tears will be wiped away and your sorrows forgotten. What a wonderful promise!
  • Do you see why as many as we excommunicated or those that resigned on their own do not want us to have our rest. They say we are in error; they say we are devils and they do not want to leave us alone which means they are being troubled. They know they have left their estates; that there is something in this Faith. Even the Devil acknowledges that God is in our midst.
  • Go and interview all that are outside, they do not have rest. That is why, at times, when you see them on the way they appear very hostile. You start doubting whether they have tasted the truth at all. If they said they are children of God why do they want to fight, always threatening to call Police, to go to court, to fight, to do this and that? It is a sure sign that the spirit of peace has left them.
  • If they have the Holy Spirit, they will remain lovely, they will be approachable, and they will not be blaspheming. They will even resort to prayers; they will pray for us that God will save us or help us recognize where we erred. However, instead of doing that, they will carry machetes, whip and slug it out with us.
  • Are we interested in that? No. It is a spiritual warfare and not a carnal warfare. If you know I am in error, leave Me alone. I am happy with My error, more especially when you cannot use the more sure word of prophecy to convince Me that I am in error. Go away! If you want to use your reasoning, I am not interested; you want to tell Me stories, I am not interested. If you love Me, show Me Scriptures. If you cannot use Scriptures to convince Me, please shut up your mouth!
  • This is My stand. Talk of calling Me all manner of names, no problem. Call Me an armed robber if you wish. If I quarrel with you, call Me a fool.

2

WE ARE AT THE END

Now that we know that it is 1000 years that we are going to reign with Christ here on Earth before Satan will be let loose again and that is the millennial reign; it is that one complete day of Sabbath rest as promised by God to His people.

  • When are we expecting this Sabbath? The prophets have been helping us to understand that it is going to be at the end time. Let us go back to the Gentile Prophet who saw the time the whole thing will come to an end.
  • Hosea chapter 6 verse 1 – 2: “Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.  After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight”. KJV.
  • Two days means 2000 years. In that same place where it was said: “They are not my people,” that same place, they shall be called the people of the Most High God.
  • Remember, in time past we were aliens to this Faith – completely cut off from God. We had no hope of eternal life. We were not called God’s own people, but He did something; He blinded His people to enable Him cut them off that we might be grafted in. if cutting off of the Jews means grafting in of the Gentiles.
  • What do you think bringing back the Jews will be to the Gentiles? Will the two trees stand upon a particular tree? One must be detached for the other to be fixed and they must detach for us to be fixed. When we were boasting, He told us, “Do not boast, for you are not the root; the root is sustaining you. You are not sustaining the root.”
  • I am saying that the Gentiles are about to be detached for the Gentiles and the Jews cannot be attached at the same time. Only one will stand at a particular time.
  • What is about to take place is an indicator that we are about to be detached. In other words, our time will soon be over and the original olive tree (the Jews) will be grafted back which is easier.
  • I am saying that God will find it easier with the original olive tree than with the wild olive tree (the Gentiles). Are we not wild olive?
  • Let Me tell you something. If you cut off orange and graft in tangerine, it will have some problems before it will survive though it belongs to citrus family, but if you cut off orange and graft orange, you just put it and tie it and go your way, no problem.  This is how it is between God and Israel.
  • That is why I have looked into the Scriptures and I did not see any prophet prophesying any salvation message for the Jews but they have only but one message: “Men and brethren, look at my hands, look at my legs, see my sides,” full stop. Check your Bible.
  • However, here He has to be subjected to signs and wonders and mighty works and miracles so as to bring us to obedience because, by nature we are idolaters. We do not even have the life of God nor the nature of God. I am saying that our time will soon be over. We are now counting in days since the Bible said after two days He will revive us. Then, in the third day, He will raise us up.
  • If a day means 1000 years, then within the period of complete 2000 years will be nothing but revival. Your revival can never go beyond 2000 years. The Bible called the next 1000 years “resurrection and life.” Where? In His sight. If this is true, are we not nearing the end? If the Egyptian calendar is correct, Roman calendar is correct, historians are correct, are we not winding up our 2000 years? It is finished. The third day, He will raise us up and we shall live in His Presence forever. No more dying, no more sickness, no more complaining, no more war, no imitation. This is why I am telling you that there has never been a generation that has lived closest to the fulfillment of this promise than our generation.
  • The present Prime Minister of Israel is a blessed Prime Minister.
  • Let us go back to the Bible. God decided to use two Spirits He used years ago: THE SPIRIT OF BARAK AND THE SPIRIT OF EHUD. Go back to your Bible. See what happened when Barak led the people of God to war. Look at Ehud also. The Lord combined the two and I will not be surprised that he may be the one that will receive the Messiah because Ehud must surely recognize Him; Barak must surely recognize Him. I will not be surprised.
  • If He used Menakin Dekin, there would be trouble. There is no mistake in what God is doing because Menakin Dekin has been a compromiser.
  • Brethren, our timetable for the Gentiles says, “After two days, He will revive us and the third day, we shall be raised up and we will live in His sight.”
  • Hosea 6:2 “After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.” KJV.
  • Can any man cancel this prophecy? As we near the end you have to lay hold on prophetic utterances; they will help you. I am still laying a foundation.
  • Do not be tired with Me. If Satan should ask you to be tired say no, “As long as Brother is not tired, I am not tired.”
  • Even if I took alfalfa tea, it is not enough to give me strength. No. I did not take it. It is God in Me doing everything. I want to make some comparisons.
  • Romans chapter 11:15 “For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?” KJV.
  •  Is it confirmed? Do you get the message? After two days, He will resurrect us and we shall live in His Presence.
  • Romans chapter 11: 25–26: “For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.
  • And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
  • Now, where is He coming out from? Zion. Now, let us go back to Hebrews 12 verse 22. This is from where He is taking off. He has been sojourning here.
  • Hebrews 12: 22 “But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels”.
  • Please, go back to the Sion that is written in Romans 11 verse 26, this is the spelling: S-I-O-N. Is it like this in your own Bible?
  • Now He is coming out from Sion.
  • Hebrews 12 : 22-23: “But ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
  • To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect.” KJV.
  • We are just men. We have been made perfect. You see, I am trying to bring out one mystery there: that they are expecting Him there not knowing where He is coming out from, but they know He is coming out from Sion. But where is Sion? I have seen Sion. In other words, since He left them, He has sojourned in Sion.
  • Men and brethren, simply believe the truth that is revealed in the Word. Zion is His holy Mountain where God is abiding. Who will abide in His holy Mountain? The unbelievers? No! If you do not know where God is sojourning, you will have problems.
  • My duty is to tie the Scriptures together. If I do not show you where Zion is, you will not know that all these years you have been sojourning in Mount Zion. And people are going on pilgrimage to see Mount Zion somewhere. They do not know what God is doing; they do not believe the Scripture, for God is making all things anew; Mount Zion here, Mt. Zion there; Jerusalem here, Jerusalem there; Galilee of the Gentiles here; Galilee of the Gentiles there.
  • We are heading to somewhere brethren. How I wish you will get the revelation of where I am heading to. Now, we are enjoying it. If we get to a point where I will call names, please, bear with Me.
  • We want to crosscheck things. Do not just believe because Brother is saying it, believe because I am showing you in the Word of God so that your faith will not be resting on the words of man but on the Words of God. You know whoever that is accusing Me is accusing the word of God. You call Me heretic, you are calling the word of God heresy.
  • Isaiah 59 verse 20: “And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.” KJV. Put your hands together. Amen.
  • You did not get the revelation. The Redeemer shall come to Zion. Why Redeemer? He will reveal Himself first to Zion and the same Redeemer after showing Himself in Zion, will go back to reveal Himself to Jacob.
  • Let us go back to Romans 11 verse 26. You are not getting the message. When I am handling teaching, I am not evangelical too much, bear with Me, you know I am foolish here. Do not say: “No sir.”
  • Romans 11 verse 26: “And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob”. KJV.
  • Did you see it? This message is becoming sweeter. I call it honey in My bones.
  • Isaiah 59:20. “And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD”.KJV.
  • Not two Redeemers, but first , it will be Zion, second, to them that will turn away from transgression in Jacob. Hallelujah! If it is not scriptural, believe it not, but if it is scriptural we are nearing the end.
  • As we near the end and it is about to turn to Jacob, where are we now? We are relating events around us with prophetic promises. Are you not sure and certain that from Hosea, from Isaiah, from Ezekiel, from Jeremiah, from even the apostles, from the mouth of the Lord Jesus, from the Book of Revelation that we are near unto the end?
  • End means end of Gentile dispensation. The end of this Church Age cannot linger beyond the year 2000. It is a period of Grace that is allotted to this Church Age and immediately after this, there is going to be a great sign in Heaven and on Earth.
  • This is serious; this is where many will call Me mad. What do we expect now that we are near to the end? Pray that the Lord will intervene seriously; otherwise, many will deny the Faith. I hope you will not deny the Faith, will you?
  • Something is going to take place before the whole thing.
  • Sister Odoemena, I will ask you questions on this very Message. Any day I need a Scripture and you do not give it to Me, “na im be say we go war.”
  • You know, while I am preaching I am not learning with you. The Lord is interested in our gathering, especially as we near the end.
  • A child of God believes the Bible. What you must expect first. Immediately after this incident, another one is following it, but God save us that before the time these things will take place, we must have been clothed with immortality.
  • Isaiah chapter 30: 26-27 “Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
  • Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire.” KJV.
  • They are talking about the ozone layer when they have not seen anything. What I am talking of is that eating away of the ozone layer is not from any industrial setup, it is a prophetic phenomenon. The Lord has already purposed that as we near the end whatever that has been shading the Earth from scorching mankind must be eating away by the intense heat that is emitted by the sun and the moon. For the moon is going to be brighter than the sun and the sun will be seven times brighter as it used to be.
  • Thus, when you say, “Hey! Heat is too much,” no air conditioner can condition the atmosphere. If it is not prophetic, do not believe it. If it is scriptural, believe it. People only see the dark days, they do not see the bright days. You will have eyes that day but you will not see, but pray that the Lord will cut these days short.
  • Now, with this above Scriptures, you know that this will take place immediately we are already putting on immortality, for it is a part of the thing the Lord will use to avenge His enemies. It will take place when the Lord must have healed us and bound our wounds. We must have been comforted by that time. When the world will think that nothing is going to happen, the sun will become brighter, the moon, brighter, even the stars, will become brighter so that the Lord will see everything very well. Nothing will be hidden; no place to hide.
  • Thus, if you are running away in the night, the moon will shine like the sun.
  •  Isaiah 30: 27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far…” (KJV).
  • The Name of the Lord cometh from far, far country. I want to show you Scriptures meant for you because you are children of the Prophets and of the Promise that was made unto your fathers.
  • Isaiah chapter 30: 27 again. “Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire”. (KJV).
  • This is the consolation of the saints. I told you that we are going to control them here on Earth, at least, within that period if I do not do anything all, I will slap one person, use a rod of iron and hit him on the head because by that time, the kingdom of the Earth shall become the Kingdom of His dear Son and He shall rule here on Earth with the saints for 1000 years. Hallelujah!
  • Well, maybe Isaiah told lies, but I do not believe he told lies, after all John was equally a prophet. Let us crosscheck the book of Revelation.
  •  Revelation 16: 8 – 9: “And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.  And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.”  
  • Yes! Why? By this time the period of grace is over. The torment has become too much and they now label God a wicked God to have permitted them to pass through the crucible of fire in this way. If you do not believe it, believe it because He has promised it in His Word. Do not just believe that you are going to rapture alone, believe in this impending punishment. God must punish every rebellion.
  • If you are a rebellious person in this Faith I do not beg you to change your mind, continue. I say, continue. But I have washed off My hands so that your blood will not be required from Me. I will show you the benefits of remaining faithful to God. I will show you the demerits, the disadvantages of disobeying God’s Word so that we can march along together anywhere we get to. Glory be to God. As for Me, I have already made it before I came. God is My witness; He saved Me before the world began and filled Me with His Spirit.
  • You have to believe in Me because we have only but One Person the Father sealed, who is the very Son of Man. If you recognize this, happy are you. Amen.

THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS

Now, immediately after this scorching heat, the brightness of the moon, the brightness of the sun which will be sevenfold, men will be complaining when they are thinking of getting the rain, heat will be destroying them and destroying their farms.

  •  Immediately this thing happens, the opposite automatically takes place. Follow Me as we go to the Book of Joel. Joel chapter 2 verse 31. “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.”  KJV.
  • Immediately after that thing, the sun will be turned into darkness; we mean this sun that will be sevenfold brighter. In other words, all these things we are seeing or we are going to see the Bible calls all of them the beginning of sorrows; it is not yet the end. See it in your Bible. They are now receiving the opposite. People will be screaming: “This is too much! the night did not want to come.”
  • When night finally came, the day refuses to break. There is no punishment higher than this. The people were crying for night to come and  when night came, they would cry for daybreak and there will be no daybreak.
  • We want to confirm it. Acts 2: 20 “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come.” KJV.
  • By the witnesses of two or three shall the truth be established. Let us confirm this truth further.
  • Revelation chapter 6. John in the Island of Patmos got the revelation of what the world will face for rejecting this truth that is evidently set before them.
  • Revelation 6:12 -17 “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
  • And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
  • And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
  • And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? KJV.
  •  If you do not want to face this great tribulation, better believe this way of salvation that is given to you. However, where you think I am preaching heresy or that I am deceiving your ears, continue in the one you think is the truth. Anywhere you see yourself at last, take it. However, far be it from Me if I should deceive you or deceive your ears. If the Bible will deceive Me let Me be deceived. But I do not want to hear any stories. Show Me Scriptures and I will be satisfied.
  • We are coming to something. By this time, the time of grace will be completely over for people will no longer repent, but will rather blaspheme God and this time of Grace will not last for more than 2000 years. After these 2000 years, what we will expect is the resurrection from the dead for it will coincide with the grafting back of the true olive tree which to the Gentiles simply means resurrection – return from the dead. Is that scriptural? Is that clearly understood?
  • The two foundations of our existence.  Somebody might be thinking that it is going to be a great message that will shake the Earth. Somebody may be expecting “Marriage and Divorce” and you will be surprised to hear the thing you have been hearing from the beginning. However, if there should be a deviation, it is going to be by way of helping you to understand what is written between the lines. But before I will speak to you on this matter you will make a vow before Me all of you that believe that I am from God.
  • If you believe that I am from God, say Amen. I am going to lead you in this vow because of what happened to Me before now. I was thinking before now that I have succeeded in using the Law to instill moral discipline in the Bride, but I did not know that they will recognize what they are so easily. You know, the Prophet said, “The Bride has not seen revival yet. Wait until they recognize who they are.”
  • Immediately you recognized who you are; that there is nothing that can cage you, you became difficult for Me to control. I was even regretting introducing the thing too early. I was thinking of withdrawing it, but your eyes had already been opened. A great damage has been done. Thus, instead of bringing the thing back, I started expounding it more and more. However, this time around, I want to touch on something that is like that one, though, you have been scratching it.
  • At times, you underline many things around it, but the reason why you underline it is hidden in your heart. How to pass it across, you do not know. There are some truths some of you believe, but you do not know how to pass it across for fear of being misunderstood. Deep in you, you know it is truth; you can balance it in the Bible and you know that I know that it is the truth.
  • As We Approach The End. You know the Holy Ghost told us that the message of justification by Faith is given to us for our comfort and it was aimed at making our families paradise on Earth. If every family is like Mine, I think we will all start enjoying paradise on Earth. Did you get the message?
  • That does not mean that I do not have some hard things I believe which My wife cannot believe easily. I have some hard things and those hard things I dare not say them in the family altar. I will make them a general faith, but I will keep on building everybody’s faith until we come to that level.

KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT YOUR FAITH IS ALL ABOUT

  • I have succeeded in showing you from the very beginning where we are; what we are to enjoy any time from now and you are rejoicing. You have seen the impending doom and everything, everybody is happy. I want to show you something. Besides, if I show you this thing and you want to go away because of it, I will say from the beginning you were ordained to go away.
  • If I reveal it to you or I drop it and you catch the revelation, you break away from your husband, from the beginning you never married. You will remain a divorcee for life and God will cut you off from Paradise. What I am going to touch is sweeter than grace.
  • The type of spirit I am seeing in you is frightening Me. I do not think I will be able to catch you where you will fly to. Remember as we approach the end, everybody should come closer. Do not fly away; come closer so that when I wave My hand you will see it.
  • The one I said earlier is causing trouble, yet here I am saying another. Provided it is scriptural, I will open My mouth wide. He said, “Leave your sins. I have taken care of them. Allow the blood to cover your sins, but enjoy the honey in the rock.” However, when you keep on looking at your weakness, you will not enjoy the honey.
  • There is honey somewhere. I have taken My time to lay a foundation. I have touched on so many areas, all trying to get you fully balanced so as to help Me pass the message across in 10 minutes. It will just be like the day I handled “Seventy Weeks of Daniel.” In the next 15 minutes, it was over. The trouble people used to make noise with as if it is no longer in the Bible, in 15 minutes, we tore the thing into pieces. Everybody saw the thing so clear. We went our way and continued preaching.
  • You cannot frighten us in this Faith. Do not make noise. What have you? If you fool with us, we give you a double barrel attack. We are everywhere. Call us from the other side, get ready. We will bomb you very well. You just wake us up from a new side, we will show you that we are strong.
  • We want to look into the Word, but you have to vow a vow before Me. Too much of everything is bad. Do not be faster than your legs. I am thinking within myself that the punishment I am giving you so far by reckless living has become enough. Everything must be done decently and in order. Do not just because the wine is sweet you kill yourself with it. You will perish.
  • You see, there are people in this Faith, the only Scripture they know is how to balance palm wine and beer. Whatever we are preaching in this Faith, they believe, but the Scripture they will want to take home is that on beer. If you are in that category, well, you will keep on wounding yourself. Drunkenness is idolatry. An idolater can never have a part in the Kingdom of God.
  • Ministers that have been reproducing the Law, take your hands off the Law. The Law profits nothing. If you are reproducing it because of your wife, the earlier you liberate your wife, I think, the better for you. Teach your wife and then feel free. If you do not teach her, do not blame her. If you are just reproducing the Law because of your daughters, you are a stupid person. Simply teach your daughters and leave them alone. How I wish everybody will be like Me. It will help somebody.
  • Knowing exactly what your faith is all about. There is no treasure that is as big as that. Your faith will be growing muscles everyday, growing hairs everyday because you know what you believe and no man can succeed in fooling you out of your faith.
  • “The Two Foundations of Our Existence As We Approach The End”. If I do not say this, it will be the height of injustice to the Bride. I know you know it. William Branham scratched it and called it so many things and that stumbled some people, especially our fathers like Papa Kelechi. He would have been in this Faith long, long time ago, but William Branham’s teaching on “The Serpent Seed’ was difficult for him to understand, to comprehend and to believe.
  • I do not blame him because William Branham was a man of many words. It will take an Apostle to come to open the Bible for all to understand. I think from the day we read Genesis chapter 6 from verse 4, our eyes opened that spirit beings can come down in form of human beings and have sexual affairs with human women and the products will be people we cannot understand whose characters will be completely odd; people behaving like beasts because they will not have any iota of godliness in them.
  • Parents will be wondering how these things are happening around their children. They do not know. The father may be a good man and the mother a good woman, but coincidentally look at what happened.
  • I think it is one of these things that made Moses to collect that hopeless Law. The Law did not come out in vain; something prompted it, yet in spite of the Law, they mis-mated themselves. The Bible used the word “mismated.” I am saying that, in spite of the Law, they were having some alliances with women from forbidden nations until some of them came in as concubines and some came in as wives.
  • Before we knew it, Israel was flooded with mixed-multitude; people that could not speak the language of the Jews. They were half Jews and half Gentiles. Hence, that which the Law was intended to check; the Law ended it all magnifying it.
  • If they had removed the Law at the initial stage, people would have controlled themselves, but the Law caused havoc. Amen.

THE TWO FOUNDATIONS OF OUR EXISTENCE

The two foundations of our existence” is standing clear before you. We have the two Ancient of Days; I mean the source of all human races. HUMAN RACE HAS TWO SOURCES: one is SATAN, the other one is GOD.

  • Lucifer was an angel like unto God because he had the powers like God also. He could change into any nature he wished; God was working with them having the shape of a human being. Satan was equally there with other angels having the shape of a human being. In short, Satan was a man and has remained a man; God has been a man and has remained a man. In Him, is the female gene and the male gene. Did you get what I said?
  • Right there in God is man and woman. That is why as the Almighty, He has a womb; He could conceive and give birth to a child. He is God.  By conceiving, He took the nature of a woman. He said He carried Israel in His womb. Is that not Bible? Do not worry; I want to bring something out. He is also a Father to Israel. Thus, He is father and mother to Israel.
  • There is something that took place from the very beginning and if I was there; I think, I am a faithful witness; I can speak authoritatively. If you were there, you will understand that what I am saying is the truth, but if you were not there, surely you will call it false.

THE FIRST ADAM AND SECOND ADAM

  • The two foundations of our existence as we approach the end. The whole thing will revolve around something. Let us go to the Scriptures.
  • First Corinthians 15:45  “And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul…” KJV.
  •  If you go to Genesis chapter 1, you read it up to chapter 2.  The Bible made it clear that out of the dust of the Earth God formed a man and breathed into his nostril a breath of life and man became a living soul.
  • And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul…” Please it is called the first man “Adam.” He was made a living soul. The last Adam,” how many Adams appeared? Two. “The last Adam was made a quickening spirit.” 
  • Were there people here on Earth that time that saw that quickening spirit?  This is because God is a Spirit; they that worship Him will worship Him in spirit and in truth according to Saint John 4:20.
  • We are talking of the first Adam and second Adam.  Who is the second Adam? Christ. I hope that is settled? The first Adam was a living soul.  The second Adam is a quickening spirit.  The first Adam was formed from dust.  The second Adam came through a supernatural sexual affair between God and a woman.  The first Adam had no mother.  There was nothing like blood and water that was associated with his birth.  He was a mechanical man.  I hope somebody is getting Me?  I am coming to something. 
  • The second Adam came. Use the word the Bible used; you will not be guilty.  We have seen two Adams: first and second.  One was a living soul that could be seen with human eyes.  He was given a wife.  He had sexual intercourse with his own wife and raised some children. 
  • The second Adam appeared, a quickening spirit. Has anybody seen a spirit before?  I want to prove something. Now you know that it is Christ. 
  • First John 1:1-2 “Christ was alive when the world began, yet I myself have seen Him with my own eyes and listened to Him speak.  I have touched Him with my own hands.  He is God’s message of life. 
  • This one who is life from God has been shown to us and we guarantee that we have seen him; I am speaking of Christ who is eternal life.  He was with the father and then was shown to us.” Living Bible. 
  • We are talking of Christ, the second Adam:  Two foundations of our existence. Did not this Christ, who is the second Adam, came out from a woman’s body after nine months of conception? There was no way the child would have survived in the body of the woman without taking his nourishment from that woman.  For the fact that the child was circumcised by somebody (the child never circumcised himself), is a sure sign also that somebody must have helped to cut off the umbilical cord.  Because there was a physical, human deliverer, blood and water mingled together.
  • The first Adam was moulded a perfect art.  There was no room for him to grow in stature, in knowledge or in wisdom. He was static, a fixed human being, everything in him computerized. There was nothing in him that could function. Everything in him was programmed and fixed in there.  On the other hand, this second Adam was privileged to suck a woman’s breast, grew up from among human beings, played around, associated with fellow human beings, grew in stature, in knowledge, in wisdom, yet He was the second Adam.
  •  What I am saying is the truth. The Bible said the second Adam was made a quickening spirit.  Saint John chapter 4:20 said that God is a Spirit; they that will worship Him will worship Him in spirit and in truth. 
  • Remember that this Christ we are talking of, the Bible said He Himself is the very Almighty God, The Alpha and the Omega. There is no other God beside Him.  Even that Adam, this very Christ formed him.
  • The Bible said that without Him there was nothing created that was created, both in Heavens and on the Earth.  Moreover, He was even there before the world began.  Could it be He learned from His experience?
  • If Adam was found in transgression, then, there was a time Christ became a sinner. Let Me go back for you to understand Me. 
  • I am talking about the first Adam and the second Adam.  The second Adam used his hands to mould the first Adam.  The second Adam was elder to the first Adam.   He was and is still older. We want to know something around that first and second Adam, before I will show you a mystery, I want to clear first and second Adam. 
  • If the second Adam is the quickening spirit, and no eye has ever seen spirits, it then means John’s account of seeing him was false, but was it false? 
  • A man can be a quickening spirit.  If you do not believe it, you do not believe that Jesus here on Earth was a man and is still a man.  If that time he came as second Adam, as a quickening spirit and He was seen as a human being born of a woman, grew up as a human being, mocked about as a human being, having everything in common, let it be known to you that He reappeared on two occasions.  Then, it remains one for Him to be perfect.  He must come back again whether He likes it or not.  He must complete the cycle. 
  • Whether you have seen the third Adam in the Bible or not, that is not what I am saying.  There can be third Adam, there can be fourth, there can be fifth, there can be sixth, there can be seventh; but that is not the matter at stake. 
  • Let us look at the first Adam and the second Adam. Note it that the second Adam created the first Adam, although He created the first Adam, from human point of view, the first Adam was older than the second Adam, but from the spiritual point of view, the second Adam is older than the first Adam.  Thus, we have two Adams, physical.
  • People saw Adam, original; I mean the moulded Adam. We have the moulded Adam. We have the conceived Adam. We will know where you come from after this Message, whether you are from the moulded Adam or from the conceived Adam.
  • You have read these Scriptures I am reading; you have marked them, but there are things that are not clear to you there and you have been trying to balance them, no way.  That is what I want to do.
  • First Corinthians 15: 45, “And so it is written, the first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.  Howbeit, that was not first which is spiritual.” KJV.
  • Spiritual did not come first, but that which is natural.  A natural man understandeth not the things of the spirit for they are spiritually discerned. 
  • If you are children of God, if you are Christs, believe you are all quickening spirits.  If I am Christ, I am a quickening spirit.  Christ as a quickening spirit suffered pain in the flesh.  Is that not true? 
  • There was a time Christ was hungry, passed through all we are passing through today, finally He died, but as a quickening Spirit He came back to life.  Because the natural man was just moulded and something was breathed into his nostrils as a breath of life, there was no resurrection of life that was promised him. 
  • Check your Bible. There is no promise of resurrection of life that was promised to Adam. He was an ordinary natural man.  He was not spiritual. Hence, when he died, that was the end of his existence. I liken him to ordinary tree. He was just like one of the trees in Garden of Eden or one of the animals in the Garden of Eden.  There is no resurrection promised any animal in the forest. When animals die, that is all. 
  • Now, I continue. You will get Me along the way.
  • “Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
  • Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
  • As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.” KJV. 
  • Now, the question arises:  Are you earthly or heavenly? Is the Church earthly or heavenly? Can a heavenly spirit, heavenly Adam marry an earthly Eve? If it is too high, I will lower it. 
  • I am saying that can the natural dwell with the supernatural?  You see why as we approach the end, what will be left on the Earth will be supernatural believers.
  • What Mary conceived was a supernatural human being.  She married a supernatural man.  You know the woman I am talking of?  In addition, the woman produced supernatural children, through sexual affair between her and her husband.  If it is too high, I will lower it again.  Let us move further.
  • The second Adam was born a quickening Spirit, yet He had the image of the Earthly Adam.  What was that image?  He was seen walking about as a human being.  He had human nature in appearance physically, but originally, he was a supernatural Adam.  Is somebody coming closer to what I am saying? 
  • Now, we are wearing the image of the first Adam. That does not make us Earthly.  That is why the Bible said we came down from Heaven and we are going back to Heaven.  He said, “They are not of this world, even as I am not of this world.” Is that not Scripture?
  • If Jesus Christ was of this world, He would have been like the first Adam. If we are of this world, we would have been like the first Adam.  He is not of this world; His children also are not of this world.  He is heavenly thus, His children are also heavenly.
  • Well, maybe this is not the honey we are expecting to hear. The honey is on the way.  Maybe this is the greatest honey.  This is the dangerous effect of over-estimating a message. Because I said it is sweeter than Grace, you were wondering how sweet it will be.

IDENTIFYING THE ROCK FROM WHERE YOU ARE HEWED FROM

  • SecondCorinthians chapter 11:1-3 “Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
  • But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” KJV.
  •  “I hope you will be patient with me as I keep on talking like a fool.  Do bear with me and let me say what is on my heart.  I am anxious for you with the deep concern of God Himself; anxious that your love should be for Christ alone just as a pure maiden saves her love for one man only, for the one who will be her husband. 
  • But I am frightened, fearing that in some way you will be led away from your pure and simple devotion to our Lord, just as Eve was deceived by Satan in the garden of Eden.” LB.
  •  “But now I am fearful lest that even as the serpent beguiled Eve by his cunning so your minds may be corrupted and seduced from wholehearted and sincere and pure devotion to Christ.” AMP. 
  • The two foundations of our existence lies in identifying the Rock from where we are hewed. We have seen the first Adam and we have equally seen the second Adam. Now, we are going to see in the Garden of Eden, God the Creator and Satan, the destroyer all there in the Garden of Eden. 
  • The Bible said that Satan beguiled Eve, that is, Satan deceived Eve.  We will know the outcome of that deception. The outcome of that deception will tell you what Satan used in beguiling the woman. The product of that deception will convince us of what really took place between Eve and Satan. Let us see what came out of that deception.
  • First John 3:11-12. “For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
  • Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.” KJV.
  •  “For the message to us from the beginning has been that we should love one another.  We are not to be like Cain who belong to Satan and killed his brother…” 
  • Who belonged to who?  Satan.
  • Why did he kill him? Because Cain has been doing wrong and he knew very well that his brother’s life was better than his.” LB.   
  • Cain knew very well that his brother’s life was better than his own life. You can now see where envy and jealousy is emanating from.  You see where it started.
  •  “For this is the message – the announcement – which you have heard from the first, that we should love one another.  And not be like Cain who took his nature and got his motivation from the evil one and slew his brother. 
  • And why did he slay him?  Because his deeds, activities, works were wicked and malicious and his brother’s were righteous, virtuous.”AMP.
  • There is one translation that said that it is because he has Satan as his father. The Bible said, he belongs to Satan, not to God. 
  • Now, how did Cain come out? The Bible said Satan beguiled Eve.  Satan deceived Eve and the result was that Cain was born.  Then what was that deception that took place in that Garden of Eden?  If Adam deceived Eve, Cain would have taken the nature of Adam.  If God deceived Eve, Cain would have belonged to God. 
  • When Satan deceived Eve, Eve gave birth to Cain. What then is that deception? It is as clear as the day.  Fine. Now, because of that deception there was a punishment in Genesis 3:15.
  • “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed.  He shall bruise thy head, and thou shall bruise his heel.” KJV.
  • A strong enmity now exists between Satan and Eve.  Remember Eve was the one that was deceived and Eve introduced the thing to Adam.  Adam did not query it.  Adam partook of it and Abel came out. When Abel came out he had the nature of Adam.  These are the two foundations of our existence.  Satan and God; first Adam, second Adam. 
  • I will dwell more on first and second Adam. 
  • Notice that we have seen a lineage out of Cain.  We have seen a lineage out of God.  When I say God, I mean first Adam, because after Abel was killed, he impregnated his wife and she gave birth to a son called Seth.  Worshipping of God resumed, but until then, worshipping of God stopped. Thus, two lineages are now out.

SPIRITS WE MUST CHECK

  • The two foundations of our existence. We can see one harboring evil in his heart continually, claiming that they are still brethren.  We can see one harbouring malice, envy and jealousy, instead of glorifying God with his brother for rendering an acceptable sacrifice, he turns hostile. 
  • This is because it is a nature.  It is a spirit.  It is inborn.  This is why there is no amount of preaching that can remove that because it is inherent in that man.  Do not blame pastors that fight. Even among Pentecostals, after preaching they fight themselves with their fist.  It is a nature. 
  • There are two foundations of our existence.  There are too many so-called Brethren that they hear our words, but find it very difficult to comply with our instructions.  Please do not blame them.  It is an inherited nature.  This is because from that day till today, God is no longer on the business of creating new human beings, but rather human beings are being reproduced. That is why the Bible brought this warning, that we should not love one another with the type of love Cain manifested to his brother Abel. 
  • Did Cain say he hated him? No.  He said, “I love you my brother. Oh! Shalom brother. Brother, please accompany me to the farm. Let us go and worship God there.”  But right inside, there was a dagger there. There was an axe there.  There was a double barreled gun there, but his face looked very glorious. 
  • I hope somebody is coming closer?  I told you that what I am going to give you is honey in the rock. 
  • Now watch, innocent Abel, righteous Abel having the nature of the first Adam because God was his Father.  He loved Cain.  He was not thinking anything evil against his brother.  He thought his brother was sincere.  He followed him anyhow. He was thinking that his brother would have jubilated that God had, at least, accepted one sacrifice from their family, but he did not know that his brother was filled with hatred, malice, envy and jealousy.  Why? There was something wrong in the conception.
  • What is more, these things happened at a time when no human being had ever been born on Earth so as to contaminate Adam or Eve.  There was only but one there. 
  • You see, do not ever take side with error of the wicked. You can be here; you say you love your Brother; you love your Sister, within a twinkle of an eye, your countenance towards him will change.  What is causing it?  What you heard Brother saying; what you heard Sister saying.  To begin with, you never loved that person.  If you had loved that person you would have even stood there to defend him or her than to believe. 
  • Watch Adam, watch Eve, watch the serpent, watch Cain, watch Sethand Abel.  I am coming down closer.  I will show you where we are winding the whole thing up. 
  •  Please check yourself very well. If from your heart of hearts, you really want to manifest God’s love, but no matter how you try, what is coming out is wickedness, do not trouble yourself. You are not the architect of your woe. It is impossible for you to desire to do good and that thing will come out anyhow?  No.  There is no sincerity there. 
  • As we approach the end, these are spirits we must check.  The spirits we must watch out for. They are beguiling spirits that will go about impregnating people and what will come out will be nothing but death. This is because when sin becomes pregnant, it will deliver death. Is that not scriptural?
  •  The two foundations of our existence. There is enmity between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent. I am not the one that put the enmity there.  Right there in the Garden of Eden the enmity was placed there by Almighty God.  I will show you where we will land. 
  • If deep in your heart you know very well your nature from the onset, from the time you embraced this Faith, you have been a happy child of God; a liberal child of God, believing the Faith, walking in the light of the doctrine of the Church joyfully, not grievously and grudgingly, I say continue. 
  • It will be very easy for you to notice when that spirit which was inborn in you which has been helping you to obey the Word of God comes in contact with error.  That spirit is inborn.  Even events will happen around you that will try to change you, they will not succeed. If you open your mouth and threaten hell, in application, you will do heaven. 
  • Note, it is not you doing it, but you do not have the spirit to do evil.  It is inborn in you.  This will now help you. Once that spirit is there, it is natural; it will help you to discern the truth from error.  It will help you to discern evil from good.  If Cain is coming near you, putting on a smiling face, there is something in you that will tell you to be very careful, that there is dagger in the heart.  There is axe in the heart; there is double barrel in the heart. 
  • What God is trying to bring out are His real sons and daughters whom He died for, not the world. 
  • Every true seed of God has God’s nature.
  • As we approach the end. There is going to be a last showdown because this love is a weightier matter.  Looking at it, it is simple because people write it on their doors and their vehicles and so on.  It is not what they write that God meant here. 
  • I am coming to something brethren.  Every true seed of God has God’s nature.  That is why the Bible said in first John 1:9 that a child of God does not commit sin.  Is that biblical?  Let us look into the Bible. 
  • First John 1:9: “The person who has been born into God’s family does not make a practice of sinning because now God’s light is in him, so he can’t keep on sinning.  For this new life has been into him and controls him. He has been born again.”LB. 
  •  “Then he who commits sin who practices evil doing is of the devil, takes his character from the evil one for the devil has sinned, violated the divine law from the beginning.  The reason the son of God was made manifest, visible was to undo, destroy, loosen and dissolve the works the devil has done.  No one born, begotten of God deliberately, knowingly and habitually practises sin.” AMP.    
  • First John 2 : 9 -11 “He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
  • But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.” KJV.
  • Now, watch your Brother, watch your Sister. As long as there is God’s love in your heart, there will not be any occasion in your heart, in your character, that will cause your Brother or your Sister to stumble.  When you come together, you come together as sweethearts. You bare your minds and you will speak the truth to one another in love and you will end it there.  There is no room for faultfinding or gossiping. 
  • You have to hate somebody before you talk evil of him.  Hatred goes forth before evil speaking. 

LOVE IS THE FULFILLMENT OF THE WHOLE LAW

  • Please come closer to the message.  Do not run away.  Many are drifting away by saying, “Is Brother going to reproduce the Law or what?”  Yes.  There is no Law against love.  Love is the fulfillment of the whole Law. 
  • Who is a transgressor? Who is a sinner?  He that practises hatred; if you do not love your Brother, you are a sinner. That is all I know. 
  • Sin is nothing, but transgression of the Law,  but where there is no Law, there is nothing to transgress and the only thing that is given to us is to love one another. By so doing, people will know that we are His disciples indeed.
  • However, if you do not love your brother, you do not love your sister; the Bible said, you are walking in darkness. There will always be occasion in your life that will cause your brother or your sister to stumble. 
  • Examine your life in the light of revelation of the truth.  Is there any occasion in your life that is not building up the faith of your Brothers and Sisters around you, instead of their being encouraged, they are being discouraged?  Check it very well.
  • Then you are walking in darkness, though you might be thinking you are a child of God. It is because the darkness has covered your eyes. You do not know what you are doing anymore.  You cannot recognize your fallen condition, and if you cannot recognize it, it is a sure sign that God has left you and you do not know. 
  •  This is why every true seed of God must be guided by the Holy Spirit.  Thus, nobody should tell you where to go and where not to go.  Once the Holy Spirit is there, you have God’s nature, not the nature of Cain.  You have no problem again.  Amen.

PERFECTION

The Two Foundations of Our Existence. We are coming to that first and second Adam. The first Adam was a living soul while the second Adam was a quickening spirit.  Besides, as we bear the image of the first Adam so we also bear the image of the second Adam. 

  • First Peter 3:18 “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.”  KJV.
  • “Christ also suffered, he died once for the sins of all of us guilty sinners, although He Himself was innocent of any sin at any time that He might bring us safely home to God.  But though his body died, his spirit lived on.”
  • Note what happened there. Though His body died, His spirit lived on.  Now, if that Spirit that raised Christ from the dead will touch you, it will do what?  It will quicken your mortal body.  He was a quickening Spirit, though He had the nature of human being and was born in the likeness of a human being, yet it pleased He that sent Him to permit Him to suffer death for us.
  • Why? The wages of sin is death.  If He has suffered death for a guilty sinner like Me, if I die again today, will it be as a result of My sin?  He has paid the penalty for sin, which is death for as many of us as acknowledged we are guilty of sin.  Remember He committed no sin.  He was the innocent, yet He came and died. 
  • I am saying that the second Adam has done something which the first Adam could not do.  The second Adam has come even to remit the sin of the first Adam.  Did you get the message?  The price he paid did not only cover Me, it covered the first Adam.  In other words, from that day onward, I will not suffer the penalty of sin. 
  • If it has been paid, I have died and resurrected, will He expect Me to die as a result of My sin again? 
  • If you are from the serpent’s side, you will keep on accusing Me.  However, if you are from God’s side, you will keep on establishing your trust in Christ, which is exactly where I am heading.  I want to show you that something has already taken place.  We were proved guilty.  We were sentenced to death.  But even if we die, sin will not be rolled away.
  • There was no man that was qualified to remove it, until He appeared. He became one of us and died painfully.  He passed through the anguish of death.  The iniquity of us all was laid upon Him in that He died for us.
  • Do you expect Me to die again as a result of sin?  It will not happen because I have believed in Him.  The message is becoming sweet a little.  Honey is flowing gradually. 
  • Once you get where I am heading to, I will cut it off. I will not finish it. 
  • Hebrew 2:10-12: “For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
  • For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.” (KJV).   
  • “And it was right and proper that God, who made everything for His own glory, should allow Jesus to suffer, for in doing this, he was bringing vast multitudes of God’s people to heaven for his suffering made Jesus a perfect leader, one fit to bring them into their salvation.
  • We who have been made holy by Jesus, now have the same Father he has.  That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call us his brothers, for He said in the Book of Psalms, “I will talk to my brothers about God my Father, and together we will sing His praise.” LB. 
  • If Jesus the Christ did not accept to pave this way, if we are all here, expected to pay the penalty for our sins, do you think anybody can come to God? Will not run away? If God will wait until I will pay the penalty for My sin, I will not come to Him.  I will run away.  You will equally run away.  The only way of bringing vast multitude to God, is to provide an escape route. 
  • Somebody must come and remove all those stumbling blocks: every impediment, which was exactly what Christ suffered on our behalf only to bring us to God’s glory.  Hence, there is nothing left.
  • Now, you have believed, nothing is left unless you have examined yourself and you are sure that you are of the wicked one. You do not have the nature of God.  No matter how much of the message you have heard, you have been trying to adjust, nothing happens.  Please stop troubling yourself. 
  • As we approach the end, we must identify the two foundations of our existence. Now, you can see that perfection is as simple as anything.  It is not the way we have been looking at it. 
  • You will see that the sweetest Faith on Earth is our Faith where like-minded people work together, live together and have everything in common.  If He did not die, we would have remained where we were.
  • Colossian chapter 1: 21-22: “And you that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled…” KJV.
  • Yet now hath he reconciled, note the word there:  “In the body of His flesh through death to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight.”
  • I do not think there is any Scripture that is as clear as this. If I have been reconciled to God through His flesh, He died that I may live.  Besides, that is the only way He can present Me unblameable, unreproveable in the sight of God.
  • Now that I have believed Him, will there be any other penalty for Me to pay? No for I am eternally ensured. As long as I remain in Him, move in Him, walk in Him, I am eternally secured—no problems anymore. Then, who will upset Me in this condition of Mine?  What do you think can upset Me again? My Brother is secured the same way I am secured.  What is the noise about then? 
  • If I can always see My Sister and My Brother as persons whose penalty have already been paid just like Mine, all these murmuringswill vanish. But some believe that their sins have been taken care of while those of their Brothers and Sisters are still lingering or even mounting up. How then can you come to perfection? The same God your Brother believed is the same God you believed.  The same faith you have, is the same faith he has.  He that paid the penalty for your sins covered him also. 
  • Moreover, whatever he is doing, he is doing it in exercise of his faith, that is, the much he knows. However, look into him whether there is a malice or envy or jealousy or hatred.  Look in there.  If there is nothing like that, why not give God glory that you that were sometime ago cut off from His presence has He now reconciled in the body of His flesh.
  •   As we approach the end, we have to bridge every gap.  The Bride is expected to walk closest now than before.  It does not mean clustering together in one family.  It is a spiritual affair.  There should be spiritual agreement; spiritual harmony; spiritual friendliness in the Bride.  It must be a permanent culture. 
  • I do not preach it.  I am trying to see it.  Besides, if I do not see it, we have not yet arrived.  We are playing Church. 
  • I told you that where we are now is the sweetest.  However, somebody will be thinking we are going the other way round.  Well, if you feel disappointed bear with Me.  I will still meet your demand.
  • Let us see how many people that were covered there, those who have believed in Him, trusted Him; I mean members of the same family.
  • Romans chapter 3: 25  Romans 3:24-25: “Being justified freely…” note it there: “being justified freely.”  Did you pay anything?  “Freely,” no demand was made from you simply because you have responded to divine invitation and you have been justified freely.
  • “Being justified freely by His grace.”  Oh! Let Me tell you, I love God more from now. The Scriptures say, “Being justified freely by His grace,” which is unmerited favour, not because of what you have done or what you have not done. 
  • Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.” 
  • You are justified freely by His grace, not by your works.  Your Brother, your Sister may be mad in your sight, yet has been justified freely by His grace.  Unless you do not want to extend that your justification to him, but it is not in your power to give.  He that has the power to give has already given him the thing, even without consulting you. The only person that will feel bad seeing his Brother’s success before God is Cain. 
  • Abel was justified freely. Cain felt very bad about it.  I could see Abel rejoicing: “Eh!  Glory be to God!”  While Cain was filled with wrath:  “Why should you praise God this way?  Who are you?  When did you come into this Faith?  I was here before you.”  No.  It is by His Grace that we have received this Apostolic Ministry and through this Ministry, we know that no Brother is holier than the other.  No Sister is holier than the other. 
  • In other words, by the redemption plan of God, the holier than thou attitude has been abolished.  Thus, there is nothing like over-holiness or under-holiness.  Holiness is holiness. 

DO NOT JUDGE

  • You must understand the two foundations of our existence; the first Adam and the second Adam.  One did not feel that he was superior, although he knew he was.  The superior one had to lay down his life for the inferior one.  Did you get the message?  The second should be considered superior.  He was there before the world began.  He formed the first, He knew his weaknesses.
  • There is nobody in this Faith God does not know his weaknesses and if God should consider your weak points you will not be saved.  However, what should be the basis of your glory is your point. 
  • Saint Paul was always taking glory in those things he tried to do, but could not succeed in doing them.  For that reason, if he boasted of anything at all, he boasted of his weak sides. Is that not scriptural?  If you boast of your great side, there is no glory there.
  • I want us to come closer for you are all children of God and heirs of the Kingdom.  There is nothing that God sees in the midst of the Bride and frowns at more than a Brother judging a Brother; condemning his Brother, condemning his Sister.  Be very careful that you do not consume yourselves.  Be very careful that you do not judge yourself outside the Kingdom. 
  •  We are not asked to come and judge, but to love.  Judge nothing until the end. That does not mean that we will not instruct you.  It does not mean that we will not educate you or punish you if you go contrary, but the idea is to bring you back.  He that taught us has a right to punish us. 
  • Romans 3:24-25: “Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
  • 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God.” KJV.
  • Yet now God declares us “not guilty” of offending Him if we trust in Jesus Christ, who in his kindness freely takes away our sins…”
  • Did you see it?  Once your Sister is putting her trust in Christ to take care of her sins, your Brother is doing the same, you are doing the same thing also, you will all be justified.  I tell you, you are all doing the same thing. You are all depending on Christ and Christ alone and no longer on what you can achieve, for on your own, you will achieve nothing. You have tried it before, you ended at nothing.  However, when you trusted in Him, look at where you are.  
  • …For God sent Christ Jesus to take the punishment for our sins and to end all God’s anger against us.” LB.
  • And do what?  Were you born when Christ died? Will another Christ come and die for you? That is why the Bible said, “One single sacrifice.” He has perfected all that will come to God through Him, which is, depending on Him alone, trusting in the finished work at Calvary and not bringing candles and incenses, not trying to work out another salvation.  Your duty is to keep on trusting and keep on forging ahead. 
  • If anybody wants to go contrary, well that is his business.  He is doing it because his lineage is clear. 
  • He used Christ blood and our faith as a means of saving us from His wrath.  In this way, He was being entirely fair, even though he did not punish those who sinned in former times for He was looking forward to the time when Christ would come and take away those sins.”
  • Have you seen that those that sinned in former timeswhen Christ had not been revealed, were considered? They died and were buried, but God took them into consideration while making His eternal plan.  You see, He devised a master plan. If you do not believe in this way of salvation which I am preaching to you, surely you can never receive the Holy Spirit as promised.  There will not be a guarantee that you have been saved by Christ. 
  • Going contrary means denying the power that is in Christ; it is even divorcing Christ. 
  • Now, see it that the faith of your Brother is hanging on Christ.  He has joined His faith with that of Christ.  You have joined your own faith with the faith of Christ. 
  • Because he has joined his faith with that of Christ and you have also joined your faith with the blood of Christ, you now have the nature of Jesus in you which is perfect love, not that of Cain. Each time you come together, Heaven will come down.  There will not be any occasion for you to disagree because the spirit in you is the spirit in him.  His hope is your hope.  There is nothing different. 
  • However, if there be somebody that has another spirit, even the Spirit of the Lord will shake the person off.  He will never feel at peace with us.  He will feel very uncomfortable; even if she is your wife she will feel very uncomfortable and quarrelsome.  Besides, that will show you exactly that the person is a hater of good things.
  • Who will not appreciate this kind gesture God has extended to us, knowing how frail and weak we are?  It will take a foolish man not to accept it.  I say, it will take a foolish woman not to appreciate it. This is where I stand.  From time to time, I tell brethren that come my way: “Look, I owe God a lot in this flesh because there is something my mind will always strike.” I remember that if He had not come in to save Me, I would have been lost because the road I was following was an impossible road that was filled with grief and sorrow.  I was even harming My life, endangering My soul thinking I was pleasing God. I did not know that I was making Myself God’s greatest enemy.
  • I was like Saint Paul who did not know he was fighting His Maker, thinking he was zealous of good works.  Many people are like that, even among us.  Some are fainting in the heart already, but do not faint in the heart. 

ARE YOU RELATED TO CHRIST?

  • I told you the Message is not going to be a new Message.  It is going not be a spiritual reawakening Message: “As We Approach the End, The Two Foundations Of Our Existence,” I will still touch them again. 
  • First Corinthians 15: 21.  “Death came into the world because of what one man (Adam) did, and it is because of what this other man (Christ) has done that now there is the resurrection from the dead.” (LB.
  • “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. 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.” AMP.
  • Verse 22: “Everyone dies because all of us are related to Adam, being members of his sinful race, and wherever there is sin, death results.  But all who are related to Christ will rise again.” LB.
  • All who are related to Christ will do what?  Rise again.  Are you related to Christ?  Have you put on Christ? 
  • For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.” KJV.
  • You see,it is a mystery.  All men die as in case of the first Adam.  If not for the coming in of Christ, there will not be any hope of resurrection. In the first Adam, we were concluded under sin, but in Christ we were all justified and declared righteous. 
  • The first Adam could not pay the penalty for sin.  He could not meet God’s requirement, but the second Adam met God’s requirements, and now, in the second Adam, we all live.  In Him we move, in Him, we have our being. Therefore, we have every hope of being partakers of that promised resurrection even if we die in this flesh.  This is the faith of your Brother.  This is the faith of your Sister.  That is why we are Brethren in like precious Faith. 
  • Anything contrary will bring schism in the Body. It will even bring in undue suspicion, which the Spirit of God abhors.  The greatest enemy that grieves out the Holy Spirit in the camp is suspicion and murmuring, for where there is suspicion and murmuring, there is complaining, there is presumptuous sin. I am telling you the truth I know in Christ.  If you want to take it, you take it.  If you do not, you dump it. 
  • As it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end.
  • First Corinthians 15: 47 “Adam was made from the dust of the earth, but Christ came from heaven above.  Every human being has a body just like Adam’s, made of dust, but all who become Christ’s will have the same kind of body as his–a body from heaven.
  • Just as each of us now has a body like Adam’s, so we shall some day have a body like Christ’s.”LB.
  • Romans 5:18-19: “Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation, even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life for as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.” KJV. 
  • Are you not numbered among that many?  He is not referring to people that are outside.  This “many” is referring to those that have believed in Him.  You have been made righteous not by your obedience, but by His obedience. Even if He did not come, you were called sinners not by your disobedience, but by the disobedience of the first Adam.  All that were concluded under sin were concluded under sin as a result of the disobedience of the first Adam.
  • The same way, all that are justified today, declared not guilty, counted holy and righteous, are justified by the obedience of the second Adam.  That is why, the Bible said, “He gathered a list of His commandments that were against us which we could not obey, and nailed them to His cross once and for all, and in that way He made impossible for Satan to accuse us of sin”. 
  • If Satan cannot accuse us of sin who are you then? Can God accuse God of sin?  The earlier you get the Message the better for you. This is because I have noticed that many of you go about opening your ears to know what heathens are saying.  What do you expect them to say?  What they are saying is what they should say.  However, I am only concerned about what you are saying here. 

LOVE ONE ANOTHER

  • When I hear you talking the way you ought not to, I grieve because I know you do not know what you are doing.  You are removing your name from the Kingdom of Heaven.  Because it is a sign that you do not even believe what you are being taught.  If you have a better message you think can save you, please leave us!  If God will count on your own obedience, which one have you obeyed?  Tell Me the one you obeyed? 
  • Instead of being appreciative that that which you could not do, somebody came and removed it from you and gave you an express ticket, commanding you only to worship Him.  That is all. 
  • Love one another. Who are you going to love?  One another; as many as have believed the same thing you believe.
  • I was meditating in My house the other day and I said, “Well, brethren at times grieve themselves.”  Do you know that as long as you are in this Faith you cannot please the heathens, even if you give them your life?  There is something I noticed among you.  When you notice that a heathen has hated you and even without a cause, you get troubled and troubled.  At times, you behave as if that person is a child of God.  You are foolish and blind if this is your character. 
  • The Bible said, “For His sake, we have been hated night and day.”  As long as you are in this Faith, there is no way they will not hate you. Even if you sing their praise, they will still hate you. 
  • Now, if it is your Brother, you will be grieved and you will take scriptural directive.  Note, the Bible said, “If your brother offends you, you go to him and plead with him, no response.  Go with somebody.  If he does not respond still, report him to the elders.  If they go to him, no way; they would publish his name as a publican”.
  • On the other hand, many of you want to carry it to the heathen, yet that portion refers to one that is in the same household of faith with you. How can you go to a Roman Catholic and say, “Well, I have come to you to make right and do this and that”?  He will even slap you. Or will you come and pick your pastor to talk to him or report him to your Church?  Will he come to your Church? 
  • That is why the Bible said, “As long as it layeth within your reach, live peaceably with all men”.  Therefore, live at peace with all men and that peace is godly peace.  So, when you are promising the heathen peace, promise them God’s peace.
  • You know what God’s peace is.  God’s peace is your Faith. If you do not manifest your Faith, you are not at peace. I am talking about the type of peace you are taught in this Faith. “My peace I give unto you, not the type the world giveth.” 
  • Thus, when you go to the person and you know you are a child of God, you should have it in your mind that there is no way you can agree. If you can agree, then light and darkness have also agreed.  These are two parallel lines that can never meet.  Even if you go to the person to make things right, he will be looking at you suspiciously and will not even acknowledge it. In that case, you are tormenting yourself and not the heathen because you do not know your position with the heathen.
  • There should not be any agreement between light and darkness.  My duty is to proclaim the truth.  Can a heathen accept the truth and be happy?  Yet that is your peace, which is the peace from God. 
  •  I have touched on this matter because I know some of you. From time to time, you get entangled with the heathen and you do not know how to approach the matter.  You approach it as if they are children of God but they are not.

CONVINCE GOD

Ephesians 1:3-5.  “How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every blessing in heaven because we belong to Christ.  Long ago, even before he made the world, God chose us to be his very own through what Christ would do for us; he decided then to make us holy in his eyes, without a single fault–we who stand before him covered with his love.” LB.

  • He decided to make us holy in His own eyes without a single fault because of what Christ will do for us. Long ago He decided it.  This is His eternal purpose which He planned in Himself even before the world began.
  • Verse 6-12: “Now all praise to God for his wonderful kindness to us and his favor that he has poured out upon us because we belong to his dearly loved Son. So overflowing is his kindness toward us that he took away all our sins through the blood of his Son, by whom we are saved; and he has showered down upon us the richness of his grace–for how well he understands us and knows what is best for us at all times.
  • God has told us his secret reason for sending Christ, a plan he decided on in mercy long ago;  and this was his purpose: that when the time is ripe he will gather us all together from wherever we are–in heaven or on earth–to be with him in Christ forever.  Moreover, because of what Christ has done, we have become gifts to God that he delights in, for as part of God’s sovereign plan we were chosen from the beginning to be his, and all things happen just as he decided long ago.
  • God’s purpose in this was that we should praise God and give glory to him for doing these mighty things for us, who were the first to trust in Christ.” Eph 1:6-12 LB.
  • Romans 8:29 -35: “For from the very beginning God decided that those who come to Him and all along He knew who will…”
  • All along He know who will. God had already decided on the people that will come to Him.  All along He knew who will and who will not.  Thus, nobody is in this most holy Faith by accident or human design.  If God never decided that you will be in this Faith, you will be a follow-follow.  You will not go too long.  God will present something that will throw you out. 
  • However, if God chose you from the very beginning and decided it, it is His eternal Will concerning you. He knows how to uphold you in this Faith of Christ, even to believe the unbelievable. 
  • “…Should become like His son so that His son will be the first, with many brothers.  And having chosen us, He called us to come to Him and when we came, he declared us ‘not guilty’, filled us with Christ’s goodness, gave us right standing with Himself, and promised us His glory.” LB.
  •  You see what He has done for us. What can separate us from this Man? You see the difference between the first Adam and the second Adam.  That which the first Adam could not do because he was weak, he was natural; the second Adam has done it.  In addition, you are in the second Adam, not in the first.  If He is a quickening spirit, you being his brothers, are also quickening spirits. If He died and resurrected, when it comes to your own turn, you will die. On the appointed day, you will also resurrect. 
  • Ephesians 3:9 “And to explain to everyone that God is the savior of the Gentiles too, Just as he who made all things had secretly planned from the very beginning, and his reason?  To show to all the rulers in heaven how perfectly wise he is when all of His family – Jews and Gentiles alike, are seem to be joined together in His church in just the way He had always planned it through Jesus Christ our Lord…”
  • All his family will be joined together where? In His church; what He is saving is His family and His family is His Church. 
  • “…Now, we can come fearlessly right into God’s presence, assured of His glad welcome when we come with Christ and trust in Him.  So, please do not loose heart at what they are doing to me here.  It is for you I am suffering and you should feel honoured and encouraged.
  • When I think of the wisdom and scope of His plan I fall down on my knees and pray to the father of all the great family of God, some of them already in heaven and some down here on Earth, that out of His glorious unlimited resources He will give you the mighty inner strengthening of His Holy Spirit and I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your heart, living within you.
  • As you trust in Him, may your root go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love and may you be able to feel and understand as all God’s children should, how long, how wide, how deep and how His love really is and to experience this love for yourselves…”
  • To experience this love for yourselves, not preaching it, you have to live in this love, experience it and allow God to monitor you. Convince God.
  • “…Though it is so great that you will never see the end of it or fully know or understand it. So, at last, you will be filled up with God Himself. Now, glory be to God who by His mighty power at work within us, you will ever dare to ask or even dream of infinitely beyond our highest prayers…”
  • Did you get this? Infinitely beyond our highest prayers.
  • “…desires, thoughts or hope. May He be given glory forever and ever through endless ages because of His master plan of salvation, for the church through Jesus Christ.” LB.
  • Because of His master plan of salvation for the Church which He has made through Christ and kept it secret. It is not meant for everybody. Who can believe this?
  • In addition, look at what you are enjoying in this Faith. The Bible said that God would even go greater and higher than your highest prayers, your dreams and aspirations, your hope. God will go beyond your imagination.
  • I thank God for this Church. If I were not a member of this Church, I wonder where I would have been by now. Moreover, for you that are privileged to be in this most holy Faith, look at the type of prayers the Apostles are making for you.
  • When you go out now, instead of rejoicing in hope, praising God since it pleased Him to save you in this generation; you permit what you are seeing around to weigh you down. It then means you do not know who you are. Whatever you are passing through now, you have an everlasting word of consolation that it is just for a moment.  It is just for a moment for it will be over soon.
  • I know very well that many in this Faith, from time to time, romance around the Law of Moses. If you are romancing around it, be very careful that you do not cause a stumbling block.
  • I thank God that I have taught you Scriptures that will help you and if you see anybody trying to bring you back to those things, you have to ward such a person off. Liberate yourself from their environment; do not just obey.
  • Resurrection has not taken place. Brethren, we are waiting for it.
  • Second Timothy 2:17 – 18: “And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.” KJV.
  • I am aware that there are some like that that go about preaching things that are not truth, thereby weakening the faith of some that believe them. If you are wise, the best thing you will do is to avoid them knowing that there is nothing good that will come out from them again.
  • This is because if they were with us from the very beginning, they would not have left, but they left to confirm the word that they were not with us from the very beginning. They just joined; they thought it was a new move; they did not know it was going the old-fashioned way. The same way also, there are people that will go about troubling you concerning the Laws of Moses.
  • Titus 1:10-11: ““For there are many who refuse to obey; this is especially true among those who say that all Christians must obey the Jewish laws. But this is foolish talk; it blinds people to the truth, and it must be stopped. Already whole families have been turned away from the grace of God. Such teachers are only after your money.” LB.
  • I do not know who you are paying attention to; I do not know your favorite preacher in your home that holds the same views you hold contrary to that which I have taught you in the Church, proven from the holy Scriptures that it is only in Christ that you are counted Holy and righteous. It is only in Him alone you are made perfect. It is His obedience that has justified you.
  • On your own, you cannot obey God. There is no way you can obey God for you do not have the strength and that which you could not obey because of the weakness of your flesh and spirit, He has done it for you. 
  • Consequently, if you see anybody telling you that you must go back to the Laws of Moses, that without that you are perishing, please, do not pay attention to him. Ask him to shut his mouth. The Bible says he does not know what he is saying.
  • Galatians 2 :  17 “But what if we trust Christ to save us and then find that we are wrong and that we cannot be saved without being circumcised and obeying all the other Jewish laws? Wouldn’t we need to say that faith in Christ had ruined us? God forbid that anyone should dare to think such things about our Lord.
  •  Rather, we are sinners if we start rebuilding the old systems I have been destroying of trying to be saved by keeping Jewish laws.” LB.
  • We are what?  Sinners! Thus, when you hear commit sin, commit sin, this is what sin is: “Rather, we are sinners if we start rebuilding the old system I have been destroying, of trying to be saved by keeping the Jewish Laws.”
  • There are people flying about who have left our Faith and they do not have any other thing to preach than to rebuild the old system that has been taken away, telling us that we must keep the Jewish laws or perish. Are they righteous or sinners?
  • The Bible says they are sinners. Why? They are rebuilding the old system that has already been taken away. Therefore, Ministers, Pastors, mind what you are feeding your flock. Evangelists, mind what you are evangelizing. Do not just preach to win the approval of the Church. Preach to win God’s commendation staying within the boundaries of our Faith which is supported by the Holy Scriptures.
  • Seeing that to be truth, the Bible says we have an altar.

THE BRIDAL FAITH IS A PERFECT FAITH

  • Hebrews 13: 10 “We have an altar, the cross where Christ was sacrificed, where those who continue to seek salvation by obeying the Jewish laws can never be helped.”
  • Anybody that wants to get salvation by obeying the Jewish laws should forget about Christ. Do not even mention His name. Do you see the extent Pentecostals are away from us, even End Time message?
  • This is why it is impossible for you to commit fornication with any other group because apart from this most holy Faith, any other group is a fornicating group, always romancing with the Laws of Moses and calling Jesus by mouth; mentioning: “Grace, grace, grace,” when they are practising Law.
  • Do not allow Galatians chapter 5 verse 19 through 22 to fool you. If you read it in your Bible, support it with Romans chapter 5 verse 10, James chapter 2 verse 10 through 11. Then your eyes will open.
  • There was a reason why Saint Paul wanted to reproduce it to the Galatians and you know it very well. For that same reason, to please the Jewish Christians, he circumcised Timothy. He was trying to please those people so that they will not riot, but they rioted. When he recognized his error, he went with Titus being a Greek and refused to circumcise him.
  • This is a perfect Faith that gives us a perfect strength. We are no longer in doubt whether this salvation we are talking of belongs to us or not. If you are in doubt, well, may be, you are ordained to go that way. When we finish this matter, you rest
  • Hebrews 10: 22 “Now, we can look forward to the salvation God has promised us. There’s no longer any room for doubt and we can tell others that salvation is ours, for there’s no question that He will do what He says.’
  • Galatians 4: 19-21: “Oh, my children, how you are hurting me!
  • I am once again suffering for you the pains of a mother waiting for her child to be born–longing for the time when you will finally be filled with Christ. How I wish I could be there with you right now and not have to reason with you like this, for at this distance I frankly don’t know what to do.
  • Listen to me, you friends who think you have to obey the Jewish laws to be saved: Why don’t you find out what those laws really mean?” LB.
  •  Why do not you find out what those Laws really mean? 
  • When you are in this Faith, relax your mind. Our duty is to espouse you to the Word of God. If it is not the Word of God, throw it away.
  • Galatians 4: 22-26: For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one from his slave-wife and one from his freeborn wife. There was nothing unusual about the birth of the slave-wife’s baby. But the baby of the freeborn wife was born only after God had especially promised he would come.
  • Now this true story is an illustration of God’s two ways of helping people. One way was by giving them his laws to obey. He did this on Mount Sinai, when he gave the Ten Commandments to Moses. Mount Sinai, by the way, is called ‘Mount Hagar’ by the Arabs—and in my illustration, Abraham’s slave-wife Hagar represents Jerusalem, the mother-city of the Jews, the center of that system of trying to please God by trying to obey the Commandments; and the Jews, who try to follow that system, are her slave children.
  •  But our mother-city is the heavenly Jerusalem…”LB.
  • Our mother city is what? The heavenly Jerusalem. You are welcome to heavenly Jerusalem which is our mother city.
  • “…And she is not a slave…” She is not what? A slave to the Jewish laws.
  • “…but our mother city is the heavenly Jerusalem and she is not a slave to the Jewish laws.” LB.
  • In other words, she cannot observe Jewish Laws for they are not meant for her. I told you we are heavenly, although, we bear earthly image like first Adam but we are all quickening spirits.
  • Verse 27-28: “That is what Isaiah meant when he prophesied, “Now you can rejoice, O childless woman; you can shout with joy though you never before had a child. For I am going to give you many children–more children than the slave-wife has.”
  •      You and I, dear brothers, are the children that God promised, just as Isaac was.” LB.
  • You and I, dear Brethren; we are the children that God promised. We are born of the Holy Spirit. Thus, we are quickening Spirits, for the Holy Spirit overshadowed the woman and we all came out from her loins. That is all. He that is born of the flesh is flesh and He that is born of the Holy Spirit is Spirit.
  • Ask Me not how it happened, it was so from the very beginning, but Nicodemus could not comprehend it. It is a matter of lineage
  • Verse 29-31: “And so we who are born of the Holy Spirit are persecuted now by those who want us to keep the Jewish laws…”
  • In other words, anybody keeping Jewish Laws does not have the Holy Spirit and we are being persecuted by those people that keep Jewish Laws. The greatest thing we are suffering is in the hands of those that believe Jewish laws.
  • “…just as Isaac, the child of promise, was persecuted by Ishmael, the slave-wife’s son.
  •  But the Scriptures say that God told Abraham to send away the slave-wife and her son, for the slave-wife’s son could not inherit Abraham’s home and lands along with the free woman’s son.
  •  Dear brothers, we are not slave children, obligated to the Jewish laws, but children of the free woman, acceptable to God because of our faith.”LB.
  • We are not slave children obligated to the Jewish Laws.  When you know your faith, happy are you. This is the end of the matter. If you have any objection, please petition. If you do not have any objection and you do not love this Church because of what we preach, please go away.
  • I have decided to touch on those delicate points.
  • These are delicate areas. In your private places, crosscheck Scriptures again; maybe tear yours out. I say tear yours out. Wherever you see Grace, you put Law; anywhere you see Christ, put Moses.
  • Second Corinthians 3: 7-14 “Yet that old system of law that led to death began with such glory that people could not bear to look at Moses’ face. For as he gave them God’s law to obey, his face shone out with the very glory of God–though the brightness was already fading away.
  • Shall we not expect far greater glory in these days when the Holy Spirit is giving life? If the plan that leads to doom was glorious, much more glorious is the plan that makes men right with God.
  •  In fact, that first glory as it shone from Moses’ face is worth nothing at all in comparison with the overwhelming glory of the new agreement. So if the old system that faded into nothing was full of heavenly glory, the glory of God’s new plan for our salvation is certainly far greater, for it is eternal.
  •  Since we know that this new glory will never go away, we can preach with great boldness, and not as Moses did, who put a veil over his face so that the Israelis could not see the glory fade away.
  •   Not only Moses’ face was veiled, but his people’s minds and understanding were veiled and blinded too. Even now when the Scripture is read it seems as though Jewish hearts and minds are covered by a thick veil, because they cannot see and understand the real meaning of the Scriptures. For this veil of misunderstanding can be removed only by believing in Christ.”LB.
  • Second Corinthians 3: 6 “He is the one who has helped us tell others about his new agreement to save them. We do not tell them that they must obey every law of God or die; but we tell them there is life for them from the Holy Spirit. The old way, trying to be saved by keeping the Ten Commandments, ends in death; in the new way, the Holy Spirit gives them life.” LB.
  • The old way of trying to get saved by keeping the Ten Commandments ends in what?  Death. It ends in death because if you offend in one, you are guilty of all. You want to obey, obey all; if you want to abandon, abandon all. Even if you obey all of them, you will still be lost for Christ cannot save you according to the book of Galatians chapter 5 verse 1.

IT IS GRACE

  • Let Me summarize because this message of Grace will continue until the day this body will be glorified. There is no other Message that will be higher than that, though, you may receive revelations to balance your faith more, but this Message will see us home. It is Grace that has brought us thus far. It is Grace that will lead us home so that in the end we will say: GRACE, GRACE, GRACE, GRACE ALONE.
  • Galatians 5:1 “So Christ has made us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get all tied up again in the chains of slavery to Jewish laws and ceremonies.”LB.
  • You are lost from God’s Grace. Anybody trying to bring back the Law again is completely lost.
  • Jesus said unto the woman: “I that speak unto thee, I am He.”
  • St. John 4:25 –26 “The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
  • And upon this came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?” KJV. 
  • St. John 2:22-25:  “When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
  • Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
  • But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.” KJV.
  • I thank God for His enabling power that has sustained us; for His Shekinah Cloud that has hovered in the fellowship which we have enjoyed from the beginning till now. If you did not notice it, I did.
  • This is a Supernatural Hand, without which we would have felt disgusted, but this is the Supernatural Cloud that was with them in the wilderness and the same way, if you look outside, it appears it is shinning and now it is over. You will see bright light because the whole thing is over.
  • On this note, I say thank you and remain blessed in Him eternally. Amen.
