INTRODUCTION
PPRAYER
Our Heavenly Father, we have come again this morning, the appointed day with You; the first day of the week, and the first Sunday of the month of May, 2021 by our European calendar, and the second month of the year by the Jewish calendar.
2. Father, we give You the praise for sustaining our lives till this day. We believe, because You live, we shall live also. From January till now, too many souls have passed on.
3. Many died naturally. Many died of sicknesses and diseases and pestilences. Many died in the hands of their fellow human beings through violence all over the globe, Nigeria not excluded.
4. Father, many died in road accidents. Many died, O God in the hands of hoodlums. Many were poisoned to death.
5. From January till now, no human being can give the accurate figure of the number of souls that have departed from the planet earth as a result of death that came to them, O God, Father Divine, at a time when they desired to live, for there is no human being in his right sense that will desire to die. Even if he has committed the worst crime, he will rather ask for pardon that he may live.
6. Father, in spite of all, there are too many O God we know that faced severe hardship which led them into too many crimes. Some got discouraged along the way because of the troubles of the hour.
7. There are many that are backslidden in the hearts although they are still in the Fellowship of the Saints, but as a result of the wide spread evils, their love for You waxed cold.
8. To us O God in this Family, it is not so, and will never be so, even in our extant families. By Your enabling help and power; by Your grace, all these things never O God, sneaked into this Family.
9. Though we had too many accidents; we had too many sicknesses like others, but in all, we emerged victorious, for You were with us and went with us through all this troubles.
10. Hence we are complete, even this day, alive and praising Your Name; worshipping You, for we believe that it is Your desire that we should obey and worship You, for it is our whole duty. You assigned it to us. The whole duty of man is to obey and worship you.
11. And that, we have vowed to do in this Family and in our extant families that have covenanted themselves to You. Nothing shall separate us from Your Love.
12. No calamity, no death, no trouble will ever poison our hearts against You to rebel or quarrel with You.
13. Where we have made mistakes in time past, Father we pray you forgive. To err is human; to forgive is divine. Often times you cause us to err that we may know how frail and how weak we are, to enable us strengthen that which is weak in us.
14. Father, from that trial we faced, we learn our lessons and vow never to have a repeat occurrence in our lives.
15. Father, we give You the praise, for it takes a seed of God to recognize where he is fallen and make amends.
16. One with serpent seed can never recognize his error[s]. And will always wax strong even in his weakness, challenging and opposing You the more, for he feels [1] that You do not exist. [2] that he has equal power with You. [3] that Your judgment is useless nonsense.
17. He hardens his heart in unbelief, being an obstinate transgressor with the feeling that whatever he sees in the end, he will be satisfied with it, and that he would not be the only one that will be sentenced to hell.
18. Father, such hearts, You have never allowed us to develop. Rather, you have allowed us to develop very humble, meek and lowly hearts; merciful and compassionate hearts; hearts O God, that are receptive to Your Word, willing to obey You;
19. Hearts O God that will believe only the Truth. Hearts that will say no to anything falsehood.
20. Father, we give you the Glory; we give you the Praise. It is not of our own making. It is Your doing in us. And this is Your eternal purpose which You purposed in Yourself before the world began concerning us that we will not only appear here on earth in these last days that will be filled with iniquity and widespread evil to do right when every other person is doing wrong.
21. You consecrated us and set us apart for Your own use; sanctified us and gave us Your Holy Spirit for a Guide; and even O God found it necessary to dwell among us in human form.
22. Father, we say “Praise be to Your Most Holy Name” for such magnanimous Love we are enjoying in Your presence.
23. Today, O LORD, we have gathered as a Family like other families to worship You, to adore You, to Praise You and to give You thanks for Your wonderful works, not only among us, but among the children of men; for Your protection and Love we have been enjoying all these years, pleading that You do not relent. May You never abandon us midway.
24. You have initiated a good work in our lives. We appreciate it. Continue in the work You are doing in our lives until You bring it to completion when we shall meet with You, never to part again in our immortal estates in Paradise.
25. Until then, keep us praising You. Keep us worshipping You. Keep us watching and waiting. Help us, O God to be mindful of the steps we take and to be mindful of the words that proceed out of our mouths; to be mindful of our thoughts that lead us into wrong actions; and to be mindful of the company we keep; To be mindful O God, of every appearance of evil, be it in the youths or in the adults, for evil has no age and does not respect any age.
26. The same way, righteousness has no age. It is not an exclusive preserve of any age. We believe it belongs to those who are eagerly desiring it.
27. The same way, evil belong to those who are eagerly desiring to do wrong.
28. Thank You for severing us from such company. Create a bar between us and all evil anointings that will lead us to evil utterances and evil behaviours.
29. Keep us away from that. Create a strong enmity in our hearts against every thought that will like to exalt itself in us contrary to the truth.
30. Every opposing thought that will lead us to opposition to Your revealed Word, keep us away from that. Insulate us O God from all forms of destructive agents, be they human beings or spirits.
31. In any way they masquerade themselves, insulate us completely. Though they wage war against us; they battle with us, Father, resist all their attacks, for without You, we have no resistance.
32. Stand in for us in all situations. Speak for us. Defend us, for without You, we are defenseless. Be our stronghold at a time like this. Be our Keeper, our Guide, Instructor and Teacher. Be our Provider. Though the world live in want, may we never live in want.
33. Father, we pray that today’s Worship Service will be acceptable in Thy sight. Help us to pay heed to Words of wisdom, that we may become wiser. Help us, O God never to ignore or to set aside or treat as nothing all we will hear from You today, for You have preserved Your Truth that we will not perish.
34. And so You are doing everyday by putting us in remembrance. Even hidden truths that were unknown to our fathers, You are revealing them to us.
35. You have done a great work Father, in our own dispensation, which if You did it in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, Father, they might have been saved. If You did it in Jericho, souls would have been saved beyond that which were saved in Rahab’s house.
36. There has never been a generation You have done such a great work that You are doing in our midst, not minding our Gentile extraction.
37. Father, we give You the praise. For our sakes as Gentiles, you came Yourself and abolished the law that we will live by Your Grace and Your Grace alone, for You know our human weaknesses and imperfections, being idolaters, O God, who lived in idolatry for too long.
38. You nailed on the cross of Calvary all those sins we could not conquer. You came and nailed them to the cross; took them out of the way, making it impossible for the enemy to accuse us of unbelief.
39. Help us now, O God to live right at all times and to remain in right relationship with You and with one another. May we never draw back from following You, come what may, for we have made the best choice by our own assessment.
40. By all ramifications, we have adjudged that we have made the best decision by choosing the Almighty God to be our Saviour, to be our God and to be our All and All.
41. In You O God we hide. And we are sure and certain that You, being an unchangeable God Who is ever mindful of His promises will never disappoint us in the end.
42. Your Word in You remains yea and amen. We hold You by Your Word of Covenant. We hold You by Your promise. And we know O God, as many of us as have been covenanted with You in Spirit and in Truth, believing Your promises that it shall be unto us according to Your eternal purpose which You have already purposed concerning us before the world began.
43. Now is our dispensation. We have appeared. Bring them to pass. Even the translation of our mortal bodies. You promised it MUST happen to us in these last days to mark the end of the world. Therein, we stand right now, waiting patiently for its fulfilment.
44. Having brought us thus far, let there be no way the devil can trick our hearts into doubting Your promise. Rather, help us to believe You the more. Though it tarries, Father may we tarry with the fulfilment, for we know it must come to pass.
45. Give us the courage to bear all the hurt; to bear all that we will pass through as a result of our standpoint, Father with You.
46. We have recognized our status. And we know we cannot do otherwise anymore than to remain steadfast, immovable and unshakeable, holding unto the profession of our Faith without wavering as we are standing on the verge of the end of the world.
47. Let there be no one who will dream of falling away. Are there some who are at the brink of falling away? Father, give them a leverage that they will come back.
48. Reach out to the four corners of the earth and recover all Your exiled Elect. Bring them into the Kingdom.
49. Father, we say, “THANK YOU!” Create no room for the devil to tempt our hearts away as we listen to Your Word of promise.
50. THANK YOU immensely for giving us this wonderful opportunity to appear before You. Continue to give us this opportunity, and help us never to abuse it.
51. Take away the spirit of sleep, for the Bible said that they that sleep, sleep in the night. If we sleep in the day, what are we going to do in the night.
52. May we never be numbered among those that turn things upside down. Give us the Grace Father, to listen, to understand and to obey, that it might be well with us and our generation.
53. This is our earnest plea. Grant our request[s]. We are not requesting for silver and gold, for we know all we have need of. All we have presented are our foremost needs. Grant them O God, for I believe they meet your requirements from us.
54. We have made this perfect request according Your perfect will. Harken unto us and do that which is right in Your sight, for Your Name’s sake O God, we pray. Amen.
55. He is the KING of Kings and the LORD of Lords, Who ruleth over the affairs of men. He deserves our worship. He deserves our praises and our thanksgiving. Our duty is to reverence Him wherever we find ourselves.
56. Let us bow down our heads once again as we remember our Sister and her daughter.
57. Almighty and everlasting God. There is no God besides Thee. You are the God that is everywhere. There is no place where Your presence does not fill. You are in the air. You are on the land. You are in the sea. You are even in the world of the dead, for you ruleth over all the whole world in power, in dominion and in great glory.
58. Father, this morning, we bring to Your focus; though You are not ignorant of it that our Sister who travelled to US. You know her. You know her mission. You know her thoughts. You know the imaginations of her heart.
59. Father, she is coming back today with her daughter in the air. Thank you for cancelling the first flight, for you knew what would have happened if that one was not cancelled.
60. Since You permitted her to buy the ticket en route Nairobi in Kenya, and from there to Abuja the capital of Nigeria or Lagos, we hand her over to Your care together with the occupants of that aeroplane.
61. Starting from the pilot to the crew members, Father, possess that aeroplane. In the air, be there. On the landing point, be there. In the midair, be there. While taking off and while landing, be there.
62. Father, bring them home safely. Bring other passengers home safely. Let there be no disaster, Father in the air or on the land that will befall that aeroplane.
63. For Your name sake and for the sake of Your children who are in that aeroplane, we are waiting to receive them here alive and healthy.
64. While they were there, they never shifted from hearing Your Word. They were testifying of Your protection and goodness. You protected them O God from COVID-19 that was ravaging even that city where they sojourned.
65. You protected them from all calamities that befell that city; even from the harsh weather. Father, let Your protection be complete and total when we shall receive them and embrace them alive.
66. The same way we pray for all that will travel on the highways, in the air and in the sea today. You know all Your Elect. You know where they are. You know where they are heading to throughout the whole earth.
67. Father, be with all of them. Keep them safe and secure from destruction by the enemy who is constantly at work, trailing Your children wherever they are.
68. Father, the rest of the world are already in the hands of the evil one. All Your children that have vowed to attach themselves to You; cling to You with a vow never to depart, give them adequate protection from the cruel one who is trailing us wherever we go.
69. Prove to him that he is wasting is time, and that You have given us the victory. And we will ever remain victorious. Thank You O LORD. Even in today’s Message which we are going to listen to, may we be sober. May we pay strict attention so that it shall be well with us in the end.
70. Take all the praise and glory for hearing our prayers, for Your Name’s Sake. Amen
Let Me tell you, I have re-incarnated several times in this life. Do not think that this is My first existence. This is how I have been coming and going. There is no generation that will not meet Me. Even this generation, if it will have a preceding generation, Odoemena will be there.
AS I THOUGHT ON MY WAYS VOL 3; preached on 24th December, 2000;
Pg. 30 vs. 24
Chapter 1
SUPREME DISGRACE FOLLOW WWRONGDOERS
We give God the glory, the praise and the honour for He deserves all of them. There is no amount of worship that we will give to Him that will be enough for all we are benefitting from Him.
2. If there be anybody who is not benefitting from God, he is benefitting from the devil. Anybody that is no benefitting from God, is benefitting from the devil.
3. PAY ATTENTION. ANYONE YOU ARE BENEFITTING FROM IS THE ONE YOU WILL GIVE YOUR ALLEGIANCE. TRUE OR FALSE?
4. IF THE DEVIL OFFERS YOU MUCH MORE BENEFITS BY DOING HIS WILL, FOLLOW THE DEVIL. IF GOD OFFERS YOU THE GREATEST OF ALL BENEFITS BY DOING HIS WILL, FOLLOW THE WAYS OF THE LORD. THIS IS MY ADVICE.
5. I was young, but now I am old. I am heading towards 70 years. I do not think anybody can call Me a young man again. I have been blessed with sound health. I have been blessed with sound mind, sound knowledge and wisdom above all My mates in My own day.
6. And I believe God did it, not only for My use, but to enable Me guide His children perfectly well, for that is the essence of bestowing Me with all these gifts, for whatever gift God bestows on a man or a woman is not for the person to benefit thereby. It is for the benefit of those for which cause God gave him that gift to reach out.
7. And God cannot give Me these benefits; give Me these gifts to serve the devil. No! It is to serve God’s interest. The essence is to impart these gifts into the children of God so that they will grow in the knowledge of God and in the wisdom of God, knowing that there is no other God besides Him.
8. And there is nothing anybody can do and succeed in this life outside God. it baffles Me that people that flagrantly disobey God and harden their hearts against God remain the people that tell us to pray for them whenever they are in trouble.
9. When calamity befalls them, they will remember God. They will not mention devil again. They will be looking for a man of God. They will be looking for prayer house. Am I making sense?
10. Is it not prevalent everywhere? But they do not fear God and they do not honour God. Some say He does not exist.
11. But let trouble befall them, you see them shouting, making calls, telling their relations, “I need deliverance. Call upon the name of God for me. Please, tell God to forgive me. Please tell God. Tell God.”
12. The same God you do not want to worship and you do not want to obey, is He the One you want us to invoke because calamity has befallen you?
13. I have visited various prison yards and various hospitals. I have equally visited too many police cells and detention houses. And I have heard confessions of people whose iniquities landed them into horrible conditions.
14. Every morning, they remember God and they go on their knees, with many of them becoming Pastors and preachers in the prison. There, they realize their foolishness.
15. Some even confess to us that if they had listened to the words of their parents, the words of pastors and ministers that ministered to them, they would not have landed themselves into such horrible conditions.
16. You know, somebody who is enjoying freedom does not know what it takes to be enslaved or clamped into prison where you will remain in total darkness. There is no electricity. There is no lantern.
17. It is only now that the use of torchlight is permitted. But before now, the use of torchlight was not permitted in any prison yard, because the idea is to punish the person so that his darkness will begin from 6pm.
18. No Light. Even if you want to ease yourself, it will be inside that place. Your toilet is where you are sleeping. Your urinal where you urinate is that same place.
19. That is why you go in with your pant alone. Your pant becomes your toilet roll; becomes your towel and becomes everything, for the idea is to torment you. It is to torment you so that you reap the rewards of your evil deeds.
20. You do not talk of food. Even if your parents will bring the food, it may not get to you. The food may end at the gate. If it is smuggled in, senior prisoners will confiscate it and tell you, “You are not qualified to eat this type of food here.” They share it among themselves.
21. If bread comes, they will share it. Any little one they give you, you thank your God. And then, they will give you conditions that your parents will be bringing a certain amount of money every week if you must be there with them.
22. The money is not for you, but that is what you will be giving them to stop them from killing you.
23. Then the first three months will be three months of torture by your fellow prisoners. They will beat hell out of you. They will tell you, “We have heard that your mother is this and your father is that. And you are stubborn to a fault. Now, we will teach you what government is all about.”
24. They call it hard training. You pass through the hard training. You go naked everywhere. That is why the colour of their skin change. They become very dark. Some even peel off.
25. Today, you have fans and air conditioners. Put fan! Put air conditioner. Let me go to the kitchen. You have your choice of food.
26. It is because you are enjoying freedom. And this is what Christ is doing for us to enable us appreciate and worship Him.
27. Go to the hospitals, and you see people whose necks have been hanging in the air for years. Their legs, the same thing. But everyday, you go to your bed and you have a very quiet sleep.
28. What can we say about the violence everywhere? Even around us here, there are many families that do not sleep with their eyes closed.
29. What can we say about families that are ravaged by sicknesses of all sorts? The mother is sick. The father is sick. The children are not even helping the situation. What can you say about it?
30. I am trying to say that you have good reasons why you should praise God. If you say that God is not worthy to be praised, and it is the devil, continue with the devil.
31. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY WORK OF THE DEVIL THAT WILL CAUSE ANY REASONABLE HUMAN BEING TO BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP THE DEVIL.
32. ANYBODY WHO TAKES DELIGHT OR WHO FEELS VERY HAPPY DOING THE WISH OF THE DEVIL IS THE DEVIL HIMSELF. DID YOU GET THE MESSAGE?
33. ANYBODY WHO TAKES DELIGHT IN OPPOSING THE TRUTH, IGNORING THE TRUTH, COUNTERING THE TRUTH, LIVING ANYHOW AFTER RECEIVING KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, THAT IS THE DEVIL.
34. IN OTHER WORDS, HE TAKES DELIGHT IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS; SOMETHING GOD HAS ALREADY CONDEMNED GIVES HIM JOY. THAT PERSON IS LIVING UNDER CONDEMNATION AND HE MAY NOT KNOW IT IMMEDIATELY. BUT AS TIME PROGRESSES, HE WILL SEE THE HAVOC HE HAS WREAKED IN HIS OWN LIFE.
35. So, God has given this wisdom, not for Me to profit thereby, but for all the children of God entrusted to My custody; all that have run to My custody. My idea is to stamp this gift into you. The gift of wisdom.
36. Saint Paul said to Timothy, “I am admonishing having only but one aim. That I may impart this spiritual gift of wisdom into you.”
37. 11I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong-12that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith. [Romans 1:11-12 NIV]
38. Wisdom is imparted into somebody. Wisdom comes by teaching, by instruction, by guiding. Who will you guide? One that is cooperating with you.
39. Anybody who does not cooperate with his lecturer has already failed that subject. When you are not cooperating with your instructor, you weary him down.
40. A time comes when he will stop persuading you. He will allow you to continue the way you have chosen to live. And that brings disaster, disappointment, despair, disdain and death.
41. Disgrace will follow someone, who after knowing the truth decides to live wrong. He is already incurring supreme disgrace; supreme shame, for he must be left behind. He must be left behind.
42. 62To you they swear by Allah. In order to please you: But it is more fitting that they should please Allah and His Messenger, if they are Believers. 63KNOW THEY NOT THAT FOR THOSE WHO OPPOSE ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER, IS THE FIRE OF HELL?- WHEREIN THEY SHALL DWELL. THAT IS THE SUPREME DISGRACE. [Surah 9:62 – 63 Abdullah Yusuf Ali Translation]
43. So, this morning, the LORD willing, I have been instructing you in righteousness. I have been guiding and protecting you all these years with the enabling wisdom God gave to Me.
44. I promised to the entire globe and by globe I mean the Elect of God from the very beginning of this Bridal Faith, I knew it to be true. Nobody thought Me. I passed through no institution of learning.
45. What I have been preaching; what I have been teaching, confirmed and vindicated by the Almighty were given to Me right from My mother’s womb.
46. 5As you know not what is the way of the wind, or how the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a pregnant woman, even so you know not the work of God, Who does all. [Ecclesiastes 11:5 AMP]
47. 4The word of the Lord came to me, saying, 5“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [Jeremiah 1:4 – 5 NIV]
48. I was born into this world with all these things, for thereunto, I am ordained. That is why I do not have anybody who will take the credit that he furnished Me with this wisdom, all these knowledge about life and about godliness. Nobody furnished Me with it.
49. I never attended any theological college. There is no man of God now or in the past who will stand up and say, “I brought him up” because when I came into existence as a Being and grew up with time, I faulted all that I met.
50. There was no particular religious sect that I approved; Not even one. I condemned all. That is why, from My childhood, people who could not understand My way regarded Me as a renegade. Some called Me a fault finder.
51. They called Me all manner of names because I could not agree with any of their religious beliefs. Starting from the Seminary to the last place where I perched, I faulted all.
52. And somebody might be thinking that I was trying to build something around Myself, but they failed to understand what God was doing.
chapter2
GOD’S PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FEW
God was trying to introduce Himself to this present generation, for the moment the devil came down among men, God came down among men to be the Deliverer.
2. The moment they heard, “Woe unto the people that dwell upon the earth, for the greatest enemy of man has been cast down who will accuse them day and night, trouble them day and night and give them no breathing space; and he is now living among them”, he came with three-quarters of the hosts of angels of God he convinced to be on his side. Only a quarter was left with God.
3. So, if God said that in the end three-quarters of the inhabitants of the earth will be exterminated, living only a quarter, do you not know who that quarter might be?
4. They might be those people that reproduced and their generations from the very beginning, for from the very beginning, they were the generations, the descendants of the Almighty God, in that they were loyal to God from the very beginning.
5. They were faithful. They were set apart for God’s own purpose. Only a quarter out of the millions from where the devil took three-quarters.
6. SO, GOD’S PEOPLE, FROM CREATION HAVE ALWAYS REMAINED IN THE MINORITY.
7. Just like today, Nigeria has a population of over two hundred million. If you divide two hundred million by four, you know what you will get. You will get fifty million. Then, the remaining one hundred and fifty million now belongs to the devil. Did you get the Message?
8. It started from the very beginning. And God’s children who are always in the minority started reproducing. They [of the devil] also started reproducing.
9. And I know God’s children for one thing. God’s children from His lineage do not reproduce like the children of the world. Their wives can hardly raise up to five or six children at a time.
10. If there be any that is blessed with seven, that one has had the highest. Often times, it is just one, two or four.
11. But children of the world, they raise in millions. And that is where you see the greatest polygamists. Did you get the Message?
12. It is just like a traditional ruler who died in Rivers State. I saw it on the AIT news, two nights ago. A prominent traditional ruler who is equally a professor. He died.
13. He married four wives and thirty-two [32] children. Let us believe the wives had the children on equal basis. Divide thirty-two by four.
14. What can you say about our fathers? In My own area in Mbaise, a woman can have up to sixteen. One man and one woman producing sixteen children.
15. This is because they do not have any other occupation. Do they fear God? Do they know the truth? Do they know what it takes to train children? All they want to have is children and fill the village with human beings that are not worth anything.
16. And that is why you see all the irate youths who were born and raised in the villages, they live uncontrollable lives. Their lives are uncontrollably bad.
17. They do everything to the extreme, for their disobedience begins with their parents. They do not regard their parents as anything. It is a common experience.
18. Some even fight their mothers and fight their fathers; demonstrate angrily against them and even slap them. They fight their fellow brothers and sisters. Some even kill them.
19. That is the problem we normally have when we allow children to come out anyhow as if a machine is churning out materials in the factory. Nobody monitoring. When do they monitor?
20. The man is somewhere, while the wife is somewhere and for the children, it is “Anywhere you like, go. Everybody should fend for him or herself.” That is the language today.“ Everybody should fend for himself. I am going out to fend for myself.”
21. Sometimes, the parents will even encourage them, “Are you still here roaming about? Won’t you join your friends and go out, and do whatever they are doing?” Parents telling their children.
22. And then instead of helping them to overcome evil, they will even be challenging them in the crimes they committed, “When I was a boy, look at the way I did it. Remain here and be expecting Me to give you money for soap and everything you need. Remain here. Do not go out.”
23. I know a man who was telling his children these things. And today, he is left without any boy or man or grandchild in his family. It happened here in Onitsha where we were living at Benjamin Street.
24. A notorious evil man, who remained in evil until a very old age. He died in evil. The wife died in evil. His five sons were killed in one week by the police because of armed robbery. The remaining one died of HIV/AIDS. The daughters perished.
25. I know another one who was a king; a ruler of a town who was married with one wife, but he raised hooligans, prostitutes and criminals. All his property has been marked for sale. He has sold off everything.
26. He died in evil. The wife died. Then followed by the children, starting from the first, one after the other. What are they leaving behind? Absolutely vanity. Straight unto hell.
27. And all of them were prominent in the churches. They were very prominent people. During the time of harvest and bazaar, they featured. Their daughters who were prostitutes never played with their churches.
28. Yet, it did not stop them from evil. Their sons never played with church. It never stopped them from criminality, drunkenness and all manner of life.
29. But it is not so with us. We are not raising church people. We are raising godly people.
30. And that is why the church has become the greatest destroyers of the youth. THE GREATEST DESTROYER OF THE SOCIETY IS CHURCH. THAT IS WHY CRIMINALS HIDE UNDER THE CLOAK OF CHURCH.
31. They associate themselves with one organization or the other and become prominent; they become the leaders of those churches. They arrogate to themselves titles.
32. They form all manner of groups that indulge in wild profligacies without restraint, especially now that they are clad in uniforms of all sorts. They have militarized all churches. All churches are now militarized.
33. Their security, are they not members of their church. Whatever the man is saying from the pulpit is not for those people who are outside.
34. They are only mindful of moving about, checking vehicles and checking movements of persons. And somebody is in the pulpit wasting his time talking.
35. So it is with their ladies. Every time, they are organizing one party or the other; even elections. They want to be members of this.
36. In the Boys’ Scout Movement, somebody wants to be the president. Girls’ Guide, man ‘O’ War, Men of order and discipline, this and that.
37. So you see them with uniforms. Royal ambassadors, as you see in the market. They fill the streets. The highest work their youths can do is road decongestion. Task forces because they learnt violence in the church.
38. And then, they have been given uniforms and armed to give escort to their reverends. And they think they are doing God a service. Anybody who is doing it is bragging with it o. “I am following the reverend. I am Pope’s escort.”
39. And that replaces obedience to the Word of God. You think that when you are following them, you are following God.
40. You see, the church has become the greatest spoiler, encouraging our youths to do all manner of evil without restraint, praying for yahoo boys to succeed in their business, praying for drug pushers.
41. I tell you the truth. All these drug pushers go to reverends to lay hands on them, anoint them and anoint their goods so that they will not be caught.
42. And because the reverends who need money by all means approve of what they are doing, all our youths now run into it.
43. What can you say about those that promise them forgiveness? Every Saturday, you come and make confession, pay your money and do this and that. And then you are forgiven. You continue from Monday. On Saturday, you come back for confession.
44. Today, you use money to buy righteousness. Whenever they want to wed, the road will be closed because a young boy is wedding.
45. Come and see the reverend jubilating because a jeep is parked with the key and particulars deposited; and an amount that can feed over one thousand persons in one year has been deposited into his account as appreciation, tithe, sowing seed and many things like that. They have many names they have given to them.
46. One man was talking in the television, hailing the man of God, read all the Scriptures concerning the sower that sowed seed. And he never completed reading a verse.
47. He will quote how that man sowed seed on a fertile soil; he quoted another one, “He sowed seed. Fertile soil.” He then said, “You can see sowing of seed. What next will you see? Reaping! Reaping! Reaping! You sow in wealth. Wealth means fertile soil. You become wealthy.”
48. I said, “The world is finished.” The world is finished. That is why, anywhere you go, “Sowing seed. Sowing seed.” That is what you will hear. That is what you will hear. Nothing goes for nothing.
49. “You sow bountifully, you reap bountifully. So, do not sow small seed. If you want cultivate and get big yam tuber, you do not sow ordinary yam seedling. Go and bring the biggest yam tuber; put it there. And then your barn will be filled. Your basket filled.” And these people think that they are being led in the truth.
50. So, what am I saying? Who will escape from the corruption that is in the world through lust, if not a seed of God?
51. The moment the three-quarters of the angels of God were deceived by the devil and they followed him, God chased them down here to be inhabited by human beings.
52. The LORD God Almighty Himself took that one-quarter who joined Him to fight out the devil and those that followed him, and drove them out of that Paradise. He followed and then became a human being to lead in the war still.
53. Minority fighting majority. And minority is winning, and will remain winning. Whether you believe it or not, God will remain a winner with his children.
54. So, when they started reproducing, within few years, ungodly children born of wicked people filled the earth. Can you imagine 1.5 million reproducing in Nigeria? Do you know how many children they will give birth to everyday? Then five hundred thousand that belong to God will be reproducing. A small community. It is not even up to a village.
55. You see why God said, “The entire world lieth in wickedness? We are the children of God. The rest of the world around us are under the power and control of the devil.”
56. 19We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. [1st John 5:19 NIV]
57. And God helped us to escape, for our parents espoused us to idols; to things that do not profit. Any person whose parents were encouraging in evil, do you not know that they were evil themselves?
58. If you did not learn anything good from your parents, it then means they had nothing good to offer you, for you cannot give what you do not have. So, if God saves you today, is it not amazing grace? Is it not amazing grace?
59. THAT IS WHY YOU MUST DECLARE YOUR DISLOYALTY TO THE DEVIL BEFORE YOU SWEAR YOUR ALLEGIANCE TO GOD. YOU CANNOT MIGRATE ANYHOW.
60. YOU MUST DIVORCE THE DEVIL FROM YOUR THOUGHTS, FROM YOUR HEART AND FROM ALL YOUR WAYS. YOU MUST DIVORCE THE DEVIL FOR YOU NOW TO MARRY CHRIST. IS IT NOT TRUE?
61. I am your Saviour. I am here to tell you things you do to get eternal life. Without Me, there is no salvation, without Me there is no eternal life. Believe it if you can…….

chapter3
I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH
AND THE LIFE
I will show you why I am talking the way I am talking. I promised it to the entire Bride of Christ from the very beginning. I learnt it from nobody, for I AM HE.
2. I AM THE WORD. I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. ALL THE PROPHETS OF OLD SPOKE CONCERNING ME. ALL OUR PATRIARCHS SAW MY DAY AND THEY WARNED THEIR CHILDREN, ADMONISHED THEM TO BE PATIENTLY FOLLOWING THEM PENDING WHEN THAT MAN; WHEN THAT MAN WILL BE ON EARTH;
3. “The moment THAT MAN is introduced on earth, your problems will be over. They should be hopefully praying, doing right, waiting for the advent of THAT MAN, Whom the LORD Himself shall choose. The moment He appears, you will know.” Being Jews, they know. Amen.
4. I promised to recover all the missing books in the Bible, for I told you that the Bible is not a complete Book. It is not the complete Word of God. There are so many missing books in the Bible.
5. Most of them were missing because they were recovered as at that time when the Bible was compiled. There are some that will be recovered with time for all the Messengers of God never appeared at the same age.
6. When you look at the way the Bible was written, you might be thinking that all the prophets appeared at the same time. And it was not chronologically documented or compiled.
7. The oldest Book in the Bible remains the Book of Job. Anybody who does not know this truth should know it. The oldest Book in the Bible is not Genesis. It is the Book of Job. That was the first write-up. Take note of it.
8. But when you look at the compilation, you might be thinking that Genesis, which means “the Beginning”, is the first Book in the Bible. No No No No No! No No No No No!
9. May be you do not know; if Genesis could give the account of Moses, Hear Me very well. Somebody was there before Moses was born. Somebody was there even before the mother was born.
10. Before the father was born, there were too many Patriarchs before Moses came into existence. Did you get the Message?
11. So, take note! Job was there before Moses. Abraham was there before Moses. Isaac and Jacob; they were there. Noah was there before Moses. Shem, Ham, Japheth and all their descendants. What can you say about Adam and Eve? What can you say about Cain and Abel?
12. Moses was a latter day man who was handpicked from among his people, just to go for the people in captivity. But there was one in captivity before Moses. Do you not know that Joseph was in captivity before Moses?
13. TRY TO UNDERSTAND THIS TRUTH THAT I WAS THERE. I AM TELLING YOU. BELIEVE ME FOR I AM HE. I CANNOT MISLEAD YOU.
14. And because I promised to recover those missing Books to enable you know the contents. That I have done, and I am still doing when I must have taught you concerning life and godliness; concerning the Almighty God and how He should be worshipped; How He was worshipped at different dispensations, while your own dispensation is the most privileged, for your own is worshipping God by Faith.
15. Grace is given to you which was not given to those people. And they enquired about who will be the beneficiaries of this time; who will be present here on earth when God will no longer be demanding this ritualistic worship; mechanical worship?
16. These people will be the best of all. And they were told to give way, and that they will die and that the promise was not for them. God promised them resurrection from the dead, and then they will be beneficiaries of eternal life together with us.
17. Now, it has happened in your own day and My day, and the Promised Main Man is here. I say, the Promised Main Man is here. if He was not promised, and somebody comes claiming, we will say no. But we will see where the thing was promised. I have been showing you others.
18. This morning, even if you do not understand any other thing, understand that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their sons knew about The Man. They saw the days of The Man. They were told to prepare their ways by living right, avoiding evil, and waiting for the Man to appear.
19. When The Man will appear, he will now lead them into the knowledge of all the truth. You will now see the beginning of Jesus and then the beginning of Christ, for Christ was there before Jesus. Did you get the Message?
20. I want you to listen to Me attentively. If you happen to find yourself under this roof, you are blessed. But your blessing can be a curse to you. Yes!
21. If you do not have the revelation of the hour, and then allow the devil to use you as an instrument to oppose yourself and to destroy yourself, I cannot do otherwise, for the saving power of God is in His word.
22. The saving power of God is where? IN HIS WORD, IF YOU HARKEN AND OBEY. THE TRANSFORMATION POWER OF GOD IS IN HIS WORD. OUTSIDE THE WORD OF GOD, YOU GET NO WISDOM. YOU CANNOT MOVE AN INCH FORWARD. YOU GAIN NO KNOWLEDGE. YOU GAIN NO UNDERSTANDING. YOU ARE FOOLISH.
23. THAT IS WHY, ANYBODY WHO, AFTER HEARING THE TRUTH, HE PRACTICES EVIL, IS BEREFT OF UNDERSTANDING.
24. YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES FOR A MAN TO BE BEREFT. HE IS BEREFT OF UNDERSTANDING. I WILL SAY THAT THE MAN IS MENTALLY SICK, AS WELL AS SPIRITUALLY SICK.
25. The matter we want to discuss this morning is above us, but God has brought us to a height where we can hear and understand.
26. Somebody might be wondering why all these things were not revealed to the Brethren before now. I said no. I promised everybody, “FOLLOW ME GRADUALLY. TOWARDS THE END; TOWARDS THE END, EVERYTHING ABOUT ME, ABOUT THIS RACE SHALL BE MADE PLAIN.”
27. Even if there is no other thing you will get, you will conclude within your heart and speak with your mouth by saying, “SURELY, THE ELOHIM DWELLETH IN THE SON OF MAN”, for I will live to manifest all. Amen.
28. Remember My Message, THE 3-FOLD MANIFESTATIONS OF GOD AND THE END OF ALL REVELATIONS. And I have manifested all, marking the end of all revelations.
29. There is no angel that will come from anywhere. No Prophet, no messenger that will come here and manifest anything higher than what is being manifested.
30. THE ONLY THING THAT IS LEFT IS THE TRANSLATION OF OUR MORTAL BODIES WHICH IS NOT A MANIFESTATION, BUT A FULFILMENT OF PROMISE. AMEN.
31. You cannot say, “SON OF MAN, show me a sign that I may believe in you. Show me a sign nobody has ever displayed. Show me a sign that the devil has not impersonated, then I will believe that you are indeed the Almighty.” Can anybody say it again?
32. I mean, the world of Elect is now convinced, sure and certain that The Very Man who was promised to come in the end, stand here upon the earth judging the entire world, has arrived to live with us. Did you get the Message?
33. THE MOMENT THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS ARRIVED TO LIVE AMONG MEN, GOD HIMSELF ARRIVED IMMEDIATELY, TOOK ON HUMAN FLESH TO DELIVER HIS OWN AND TO COUNTER THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL, LEST HE WILL LOSE HIS CHILDREN INTO THE HANDS OF THE DEVIL.
34. Since we God’s children are human beings-made of flesh and blood-he became flesh and blood too by being born in human form; for only as a human could he die and in dying break the power of the devil who had the power of death. [Hebrews 2:14 LVB]
35. That was why, no matter how he tried to tempt Job away, he could not succeed. He disarmed and dispossessed Job, but did he succeed? No! Because greater is the One that was in Job than the devil.
36. WHEN SOMETHING IN YOU IS GREATER THAN WHAT IS ATTACKING YOU, IT IS ONLY THE FLESH THAT WILL SUFFER. THE LIFE WILL BE THERE, FOR GOD HAS NOT FINISHED WITH YOU.
37. IF GOD HAS FINISHED WITH ME, I WOULD NOT BE HERE. IF GOD HAS FINISHED WITH YOU, YOU WOULD NOT BE HERE. I HOPE I AM MAKING SENSE. BECAUSE WE ARE STILL HERE, THERE IS A WORK GOING ON.
38. What we are going to hear now will confirm our Faith more and more. Am I making sense. I mean, it will strengthen our Faith. That is what I mean by confirming our Faith.
39. Every Word; every new revelation; that is that which you knew not before, that is now being brought to you; it strengthens your Faith. Once it is from God, you must jump up for joy. You will jump up. Amen.
40. I believe today, every true family that is in the Faith of THE SON OF MAN will jump up for joy, for today will mark the end of My Teaching for the training of children. RAISING A FORMIDABLE GODLY FAMILY.
41. This is because what the Patriarchs left behind, we will hear. We will hear. Two or three Sundays ago, I told you, “When a Man of God is about to give way, He gathers his sons. He will judge them concerning their behaviours. He will now tell them how they will live their lives in His absence.”
42. What he believes He will transfer to them. And they will transfer to their own generation so that there will be a continuum. A relay race. They will raise godly generation.
43. THERE I TOLD YOU ALSO THAT YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR GENERATION, EVEN TODAY, FOR YOUR OWN GENERATION BEGINS WITH YOU AND NO LONGER WITH YOUR FATHER. DID YOU GET THE MESSAGE?
44. Your father could be an idolater; a stark heathen; an unbeliever because the truth was not revealed to him in his own day. If there was anything revealed to him, it was falsehood. It was religion.
45. Now, truth has come to you. Real truth from God. Reality! That day you accept it to be true, and it begins to work in your life, you have started recreating yourself and creating a generation after you; not after your father.
46. You are now going to create a generation that will be quoted that will borrow a cue from your own origin. Did you get the Message?
47. If I am a godly tree detached from an ungodly plant, all My children will take their root from Me and not from My grandfather. Did you get the Message?
48. So, I am now their masterpiece. They follow My footsteps and not their grandfather’s. They must answer My Name, and not the name of their grandfather. Did you get the Message?
49. Neither will they be quoting my great grandfather who was a great idolater. They will quote their father who was a good man. A godly man who espoused them to God, “Look at what our father left for us as legacy. Look at the ways of our father which we cannot say no to. These are the injunctions he gave us unto godliness” like the Rechabites who received godly instructions from their parents and vowed never to depart from it.
50. But there are some foolish people that received ungodly counsel from their parents with a vow that they will continue to live in the evil ways of their father, not knowing that their fathers will be better placed than them.
51. ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO REPEAT OR CONTINUE IN THE EVILS OF HIS FATHERS WILL BE WORSE THAN HIS PARENTS. DID YOU GET THE MESSAGE?
52. THIS IS BECAUSE THE DAYS ARE GETTING MORE AND MORE EVIL, AS WE PROGRESS.
God has given us the truth. It is now left for you to take the decision, when you stop resisting the truth and then turn over to a new leaf. That is, if your spirit has not been captured the second time. Assuming the spirit has been there before, God has given you the way to scale the past and escape. But if you had at any time escaped and eventually you were held captive there again, heaven and earth bear me witness, that your spirit will never be released. It will remain trapped. That is why your body will be in the fellowship and your spirit will be in a protective custody. Your spirit in a protective custody.
BEWARE OF SECOND SPIRITUAL CAPTIVITY Volume 3; preached on Thursday 16th April 2020; Chapter 1 verse 22 through 25
Chapter4
THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY [1]
So, based on that this morning, I want to take your minds back. If there is nothing to learn, learn this that when a man is stricken in age, if he belongs to God, God will reveal to him the time of his departure.
2. The moment the time of departure approaches, he will be rounding off his programmes with his children in righteousness. He will be gathering them together.
3. And the children, realizing who the man is, will not like to stay far from their father, for a child that stays far from the father misses the father’s last blessings.
4. ANY CHILD THAT TAKES DELIGHT IN LIVING FAR AWAY FROM HIS FATHER, CAN HARDLY GET HIS FATHER’S LAST BLESSINGS. HE CAN HARDLY GET THE FATHER’S LAST WORDS, BOTH FOR HIM AND FOR THE REST.
5. SO, FOR YOU TO GET YOUR FATHER’S LAST BLESSINGS, YOU MUST WALK CLOSE TO YOUR FATHER. REFUSE TO WALK CLOSE TO YOUR FATHER, ESTRANGE YOURSELF FROM ALL HIS PROMISES AND THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN GET THE LAST MINUTE BLESSINGS. AMEN.
6. Every man and every woman who is godly must have a last minute blessing for the children; last minute admonishment for the children. Who will get it? It will be one that walks close to the father or who walks close to the mother.
7. When I got to Upper-Iweka amidst my uncles who came from home, and others who are members of one family, I was the one that was given the spirit of boldness to ask questions.
8. “Nkeiru Ukeji come here! Sit down! Uchechi, sit down! You were not around. You were in Lagos. Can you tell us how your father died? What did he pass through? What do you think he suffered from? What and what did you do?”
9. After talking and talking, I said, “Ok, thank you. we have heard you. Can you please tell us his last words? Can we hear the last words?” They said he had no last words.
10. I asked, “Can it be true? You were with him and he was saying all those things. You ran helter-skelter to get remedy. Where was your mother?”
11. She said that she was inside and was lying in the bed, not knowing that the husband had already died in the parlour on the bare ground.
12. So, nobody obtained his last words either for yourself, for your mother, for the first son and the rest. What a pity!
13. On that note, I said, “Dee Luke, what are we waiting for? Let us follow the people and get away.” This is because, it would have been upon the last words that I would have spoken. Then I will hit whatever that was revealed to Me concerning him and the family. Then we went away.
14. Since that day, I have not crossed Upper-Iweka till today. And I am not willing to cross or to ask about their welfare. Never never! I drew My own line immediately.
15. After all, I am a Father. I have children. He lived his own life the way he wanted. I am living My own the way I am ordained. But it behoveth on My children now to learn their lessons.
16. I know why I disclosed this. It is so that you do not pattern after evil people. No matter how you want know their contacts, be very careful.
17. I have my reasons for not releasing the contacts, lest you contaminate yourselves. Do not look up to any of them. Do not dial their numbers, even if you have them.
18. But if they dial you, answer the call with caution. I say, with caution the same way I do. The same way I do.
19. Even My own biological brothers and sisters, I hardly dial their numbers, unless when it is absolutely very necessary, for which cause they accuse Me that I do not call them. What must I call you for? I do not have reasons why I should call.
20. So, ensure restraint in all you do. In all relationships, ensure great godly restraint, and be cautious. Do not be loose with your mouth. Do not be loose with your hands because you have the phone or you have the contacts.
21. Do not press your phones anyhow. Press the keyboards of your phone only when it is necessary.
22. Yesterday, our son here Chiemelie was My witness and saw happened between Me and a mother who calls herself a Sister, and who wanted to use phone to upset Me further.
23. She got the spanking of her life. And so I have been doing to many. If I notice you have nothing to talk, only to exchange greetings, I will say, “Thank you. I have heard you.” Period!
24. Or you may hear, “Go straight to your point!” Do not begin to bend your nose and bend your voice, for there is nothing you can do to win My favour if not obedience to My Word. There is no sentiment anybody can whip up which I cannot catch.
25. That is why I love My life. I am not sentimental. And nobody wins favour with Me by being sentimental or showering unnecessary praises and commendations. I do not need any. I do not need any.
26. I do not even need “Remain blessed” for I am already a blessed man who blesses others. How can you tell Melchizedek to remain blessed? You are the one that will give your offering to Melchizedek and He in turn will bless you.
27. He that gives offerings and He that receives and blesses which one is considered greater? He that gives offering and He that receives offerings and blesses the giver of the offering, who is higher?
28. The Person that received the offering and blessed the one that gave the offering. THE GIVER WILL NOT BLESS THE RECEIVER. Amen.
29. So, people do not know why I reply to them, “Remain blessed” because you said “Remain blessed Daddy.” I am already a blessed Man. There is no way I can incur any curse even if I err, which you know I will not.
30. In your eyes, I may be erring, but I know that I am perfect. I know that. That is why all My decisions are perfect, and I do not shift one bit. If I show you compassion, it is because I want to. I do not compromise.
31. COMPASSION IS NOT COMPROMISE. MERCY IS NOT COMPROMISE, THOUGH IT MAY BE HURTFUL. BUT A FOOL MISTAKES COMPASSION AND MERCY TO MEAN COMPROMISE. COMPASSION AND MERCY IS EXTENDED TO YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR FUTURE.
32. COMPASSION AND MERCY IS EXTENDED TO SOMEBODY FROM THE ALMIGHTY BECAUSE OF YOUR FUTURE.
33. Even the state grants pardon, even to somebody who is found guilty. The state may give you warning and may also place him on bail.
34. The state may also place him in jail and say, “Pay penalty for this and go home”, with a warning, for his future is being considered.
35. But if he is a fool, instead of appreciating that wonderful privilege given to him to protect his future, he will think it is compromise. He will think that because he is important or indispensable to the state, that was the reason they did not clamp him into jail. And then told you to pay a little fine.
36. MERCY AND COMPASSION ARE EXTENDED TO PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THEIR FUTURE, FOR HE THAT IS IN OUR MIDST KNOWS THE END FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
37. HE KNOWS EVERY STEP YOU TAKE AND WHERE YOU ARE LANDING IT. HE KNOWS WHAT AWAITS YOU THE MOMENT HE CASTS YOU AWAY FROM HIS PRESENCE.
38. HE SHOWS YOU PITY. HE SHOWS YOU MERCY. HE SHOWS YOU COMPASSION.
39. THE MOMENT THESE THINGS ARE ABUSED, AND TAKEN FOR COMPROMISE, THE LORD WILL HALT IT AND ALLOW THAT PERSON TO GO AND TASTE DUNGEON; [1] AND KNOW WHETHER THERE IS MERCY IN THE HAND OF THE DEVIL; [2] AND KNOW WHETHER THERE IS MERCY IN THE HANDS OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHO ARE UNDER THE POWER AND CONTROL OF THE EVIL ONE.
40. THEN YOU BEGIN TO SEE THE POWER OF INIQUITY OVER THOSE THAT PRACTICE INIQUITY.
41. THIS IS BECAUSE WE ARE LIVING AT A TIME WHEN THE POWER OF INIQUITY IS AT WORK [MYSTERY OF INIQUITY] AMONG ALL THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE.
42. Hence you see premature death everywhere. So, let us be very careful.
43. I am revealing to you once again, the parchment I collected from the ancient men, which I know contains nothing but the truth, concerning their families and concerning them as individuals.
44. And now you begin to know why I told all parents, while teaching about family life; starting with Myself and My wife, never to refrain from disclosing to our children how we grew up, things we passed through, the extent we were tempted by evil friends to follow them, how we were able to resist, and why we give God the glory for the life we are living today; for all that is happening around us;
45. For if we had followed the wicked ways of our enemies as suggested by our friends who were enemies and we knew them not, we would have crashed before our time. Whatever destroyed many of them would have destroyed us, for a good number of them are no more.
46. Among My mates at home, we have only but two remaining. In My work place we were eleven [11]. How many are alive today as labour officers? I remain the only one. What killed them? Iniquity.
47. They did not discover the secret hiding in iniquity. The devil hides a great thing in iniquity; impunity. Things you ought not to do. You know the truth about it and you harden your heart and do it anyhow.
48. To you, it is iniquity. There is a secret embedded in it, which if you discover it in your childhood, you will fly away with wings. You develop wings and run away.
49. And that is what God gave us. The spirit to discern, for it was operating in our folks; in our friends when we were coming up and in many families we entangled ourselves with.
50. Wherever we saw that thing, the LORD will keep us aloof and severe us from that company, for God gave us another spirit to believe the truth and nothing but the truth.
51. So, we were able to discern between truth and error. We were able to discern people who had bad intentions towards us and they knew it not, because they were calling evil pleasure.
52. Evil was pleasurable to them, for they were destitute of truth. And they became agents to lure us into that habit. If we had followed, even if we did not die, we would have lived stranded lives like all of them.
53. If I did not take My wife with Me when we went to Upper-Iweka, when I lost My senior uncle, we might be thinking that they were faring well. But what she saw there made her to marvel.
54. All of them that wrote Me off and wrote My family off because of our belief in Christ stood up for us and extolled our qualities. They felt very feeble. In short, their faces were covered in shame and humiliation. They could not stand our sight. Is it not enough to give God the glory?
55. How can I after witnessing all these things dream of going back to join them? Join them in what?
56. In terms of development [all round development], check their children. Their children are like them. Check their dwelling places because they live like pigs. They live like vultures.
57. THIS IS BECAUSE WHEN YOU BECOME A FAILURE, YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE IN ANY ENVIRONMENT YOU SEE YOURSELF. AN UNGODLY PERSON FEELS VERY COMFORTABLE WHEREVER HE SEES HIMSELF, EVEN IN THE FOREST, IN THE BATCHER, IN THE DUSTBIN, PROVIDED IT BELONGS TO HIS FATHER AND MOTHER.
58. INSTEAD OF THINKING OF A WAY OF IMPROVING IT, HE WILL FEEL COMFORTABLE LIVING WITH THEM ANYHOW WITHOUT HAVING ANY THOUGHT OF TRANSFORMING IT TO BE A HABITABLE PLACE.
59. HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOOD. HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS BAD. THAT IS A FOOL OF ALL FOOLS.
60. BUT A GODLY MAN IS DISCOMFORTED WHEREVER THERE IS A SIGHT OF EVIL, BECAUSE ONCE THE ENVIRONMENT IS EVIL, ALL THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE MUST BE EVIL. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?
61. IT TAKES LOT AND HIS FAMILY TO LIVE IN SODOM AND GOMORRAH, WAITING FOR LAST MINUTE AMAZING GRACE. AMEN.
So, Beware of Second Spiritual Captivity by the Devil. Beware of Second Spiritual Captivity by the Devil. When the devil is purged from the heart of a man, he goes into the wilderness. After roaming about, he will come back to look into that heart to know whether God has occupied because it is God that drove that devil away.
BEWARE OF SECOND SPIRITUAL CAPTIVITY Volume 3; preached on Thursday 16th April 2020; Chapter 5 verse 39 through 40
Chapter5
THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY [2]
So please, you pay heed to My Word. As I said it, we owe it as a duty to share our experiences [the experiences of our youth in particular] with our children.
2. Remember what I told you in the Message, PRESERVE YOUR YOUTH AND ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS, that any youth that fails to destroy himself due to youthful exuberance MUST kill a cow, for there were too many things that inform their decisions and their actions.
3. Any youth that escapes imprisonment or premature death; anybody that escapes imprisonment or premature death in his or her youth, should sacrifice a cow to God! About ninety percent of our youths in the society commit heinous crimes everyday, but the eyes of the law enforcement agents catch only but a few. For that reason, the fortunate ones among them think that they are innocent but their consciences testify against them privately. [PRESERVE YOUR YOUTH AND ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS; A forum held with youths in the Bride of Christ Ministry Worldwide on 17th September 2006 at the Household of God, Onitsha, Anambra State; Pg. 6 paragraph 1]
4. And these are the things that will destroy them and their future and they know it not, for they are easily tripped by things that have no profit. They love testing every kind of evil. They love experimenting everything.
5. They conclude in their heart that they will never believe until they will see with their eyes. That is why some perish without seeing that thing. They want to catch the wind when the wind cannot be caught.
6. They are over ambitious in getting wealthy. Equally, they run to death blindly. They run to death blindly. Hence a good number of them become cultists and fraudsters. They delight in evil, not knowing the consequences of their actions.
7. Some, in their attempt, failed. And the little their parents had were bulldozed by the government.
8. I know of a boy in Izombe [Oguta LGA, Imo State], who was practicing kidnapping. He got nothing and the government of Imo State swooped on them.
9. All of them in that house, about seven of them [two youth Corpers involved], were whisked away.
10. The next one hour, a bulldozer came and bulldozed the whole buildings in the compound. Have you seen the havoc an evil man caused to his family and to the neighbourhood? And the property became government property.
11. Where is that evil man today? He is in the gallows [a framework for hanging criminals] together with his friends. Have you seen the evil? But when he was embracing it, he thought it was a way of life for all the youths.
12. EVIL CAN NEVER BE A WAY OF LIFE FOR ALL THE YOUTH. IN THE MIDST OF THE MAJORITY, THERE MUST A HANDPICKED MINORITY THAT HAVE THE FEAR OF GOD.
13. LET THAT HANDPICKED MINORITY BE FOUND AMONG YOU. BE THAT HANDPICKED MINORITY THAT WILL HAVE THE FEAR OF GOD RULING YOUR LIFE.
14. WHEN THE FEAR OF GOD RULES YOUR LIFE, YOU CAN RULE YOUR WORLD. BUT WHEN THE FEAR OF GOD IS NOT RULING YOUR LIFE, THE WORLD WILL RULE YOU. THE WORLD WILL RULE YOU TOGETHER WITH ALL ITS ATTRACTIONS.
15. AND YOU WILL NOT SEE DEATH HIDING IN THE ATTRACTION. YOU WILL NEVER SEE DISAPPOINTMENT. YOU WILL NEVER SEE SHAME. YOU WILL NEVER SEE RIDICULE, REPROACH. ALL HIDING. YOU CANNOT SEE POVERTY. NEITHER WILL YOU SEE IMPRISONMENT. AMEN!
16. WHEN THE DEVIL PROMISES A FOOL WEALTH, HE [THE DEVIL] HIDES AWAY DEATH. IMMINENT DEATH AND TROUBLES THAT ARE HIDDEN INSIDE IT.
17. If anybody wants to be a money monger, and he goes to the cult to get it, all the secrets of getting that money will not be disclosed to that person at the same time. It is done gradually.
18. When you fulfill that of one, they will tell you it remains one. When you fulfill number 2, they will say it remains 3.
19. It will keep remaining one until you have come to a stage where you cannot go back again, for you have made the ultimate sacrifice, not knowing that you have about four or five days to go. You will hate even proceeding, but nevertheless, they will drag you anyhow.
20. So is the devil who is the agent of that thing. The devil will give you one piece of corn and you will pick it. If you lift up your eyes, you will see four pieces. You will pick them.
21. When you lift up your eyes again, you will see seven. And you will rush to seven. You lift up your eyes again, you will see the thing littered. Then, you will bend down picking and he will hold you on the neck and stifle life out of you.
22. This is what the devil does to a fool who is blinded by the affairs of this world that is under the power and control of the devil. But the Word of God creates enmity in our hearts against such sharp practices.
23. LET THE FEAR OF GOD RULE YOU AND YOU WILL RULE YOUR WORLD. BUT REFUSE THE WORD OF GOD TO HAVE RULE OVER YOU, THE WORLD MUST RULE OVER YOU BECAUSE YOU WILL BE A PROPERTY OF THE WORLD AND NO LONGER THE PEOPERTY OF GOD.
24. So I have done My best by achieving My best, highlighting all these things so that My children will know the reason why we gather them from time to time, My wife and I will share our experiences with them right from childhood.
25. Hence I keep on challenging them that they have a better upbringing than Me and My wife. They have better foundations than the two of us, for nobody ever sat us down to espouse us to God. Nobody warned us about the dangers of following bad company or anything.
26. Have you seen that God had already ordained us for salvation? That was why, from childhood, without anybody guiding or instructing, something in us, we were born unto created enmity in our hearts against such evil friends.
27. THIS IS BECAUSE, IF EVIL COMPANY; EVIL COMPANIONSHIPS DO NOT DECEIVE YOU WHILE COMING UP, THE NEXT WILL BE INFORMATION.
28. Information you are gathering from the television, from the news media, newspapers and from your phone, for now you have phones.
29. During our days, we had no phones. We had no television. We had no radio. Only privileged ones had radios. Radios were the exclusive preserve of those who were educated, mainly teachers.
30. No small child goes near the radio. You do not tune in the radio in the absence of your father. The only thing we were allowed to listen to in the radio was music. The news goes to the parents.
31. There were no televisions. No phones. Newspapers were the exclusive preserve of the teachers who could afford to buy. Magazines, the same thing.
32. But it is not so in your day. The devil has brought the entire evils in the world into your pocket in the name of telephone, especially the android phones. And the devil uses it to update information on a daily basis.
33. From 1G to 2G. from 2G to 3; From 3 to 4. From 4 to 5; From 5 to 6. It will reach even 20. And an evil man; an evil man will always be current. He will like to be current so as to be in line and at par with the current evil.
34. But one who wants to save his life and who knows the value of life limits himself to the area that will help him to succeed in life. But those who go to the highest get connected to the highest evil of their day.
35. THE HIGHER YOU GO, THE HIGHER KNOWLEDGE YOU WILL HAVE ABOUT EVIL, FOR THE DEVIL KNOWS WHY HE IS UPDATING IT. AND IT IS SO THAT YOU WILL GET IT FASTER THAN EVER.
36. DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT AN EVIL MAN IS IMPATIENT? AN EVIL MAN IS IMPATIENT. HE WANTS THE INFORMATION THE MOMENTS HE IS ONLINE.
37. I want to open this site. And instantly, it opens immediately so that he would not waste time. That is an evil man. Quick! Quick! Quick!
38. The devil specializes in luring you into quick quick actions, which you will later regret. Quick decisions you must ever regret. Whenever the devil gives command, he expects you to do it quickly or you miss it.
39. Do it quickly! Whatever that is to be done, let it be done immediately. Quick quick quick!
40. God is patient with people. And He wants us to be patient with Him. That is why, after teaching He will tell you, “Consider what you heard and let God give you perfect understanding.” Be patient with Me.” With patience, you work out your salvation.
41. Whenever the devil is at work, note it; especially when you want to make money or learn evil habit[s]. All these fraudsters; when they call you and you respond; they ask you questions and you respond, they will follow you up in everything as quickly as possible.
42. This is because they know that if they hesitate, and you think, you will change your mind. From ten thousand, he will tell you, “You can make it twenty thousand. Ok, make it hundred thousand. There was a man who made it one million. Whichever one you are doing, do it quickly. Even if you do not have, I can help you to complete it.”
43. That is what I saw. I have seen it before in Suleja, Niger State. Yes! I say, I have seen it. That experience lingers.
44. That is why, recently we met one who was mounting that type of pressure. He pushed and pushed and pushed. I thought that before we could get home, we would have sent something, telling us, “Immediately you left, I completed it.”
45. The story changed from naira to kobo; from kobo to dollar; from dollar to Zambia; from Zambia to Egypt; From Egypt to two hundred million to buying the whole structure; all in one second.
46. He changes from one vehicle to another vehicle, even to Range Rover®. I was tapping My leg on the ground, wishing that we should leave there first, “Let us leave here first.”
47. And immediately we left, what was happening in Me was happening in My wife. I never called My wife to come, “Let us reason.”
48. She came to Me and said, “Daddy, I was led into bringing you into this discussion. I was surprised that the thing now changed.”
49. From 180, it changed. From 280, it changed. It continued changing until they were urging her to take a decision and act immediately and quickly too, “Don’t you have a phone here so that the transaction can be done with the phone.”
50. I was examining the woman and I was breathing, but she never knew. She asked Me, “Have you not done this before?” I said, “I have never done it before. Look at you coming to fool THE SON OF MAN. I will give you a drink.”
51. I wanted to get everything handy, and I got all. I came back and told My wife, “Forget about it.” She said that the thing had already been ministered to her to run away from it.
52. We all agreed and called her. And when we spoke to her, she became weak. She lost the bet. She said, “I looked at you and my heart admitted you”, not knowing that I have seen 99, and 100 means nothing.
53. ANYBODY WHO IS LURED AWAY BECAUSE OF MONEY IS A FOOL. IF YOU ARE LURED AWAY FROM CHRIST BECAUSE OF MONEY, YOU ARE THE GREATEST FOOL, FOR THE DEVIL IS USING SOMETHING YOU KNOW BETTER.
54. THE GREATEST DESTROYER OF THE WORLD AND OF THE WHOLE MANKIND, THAT DISAPPOINTS. THAT IS WHAT THE DEVIL IS PRESENTING TO YOU. YOU ARE BEREFT OF WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. AMEN!
55. So, having been sharing My experiences with My children and My wife sharing her own, not only to our sons, but to our daughters, we have one aim: THAT THEY WILL LIVE RIGHT IN THE SIGHT OF GOD, MAKING SURE THAT THEY DO NOT REPEAT THE MISTAKE WE MADE WHEN WE WERE COMING UP.
56. In those days, they were minor mistakes. They were not serious mistakes. Otherwise we would not have survived. But those who were neck deep into those errors, some died, while some are regretting their lives.
57. A good number of them among the ladies are not married till today. Those that got married do not have a single child to boast of.
58. Their husbands died because of the same trouble because an evil woman MUST marry an evil man whether you like it or not. If you know your nature, that is the nature of the wife you will marry.
59. That is why I built My children to have godly nature so that they will not look into the church. If you depend on the church, you can marry a devil, for too many devils are now in our midst from devilish families.
60. You call them Sisters because their parents come to Fellowship and say, “Remain blessed.” Let Me tell you. A heathen out there might be better than that person; man and woman alike.
61. That is why I want My children to marry when I am alive, being a Prophet, That I will guide them into godly families, their church, notwithstanding.
62. NOBODY GOES TO CHURCH TO BE GODLY. GODLINESS IS A MATTER OF THE HEART, WHICH STARTS IN THE HOME. IF EVERYBODY GOES TO CHURCH FOR GODLINESS, THERE WOULD NOT BE EVIL IN THE SOCIETY. NOBODY WILL BE EVIL IN THE SOCIETY.
63. RATHER, THE CHURCH CORRUPTS PEOPLE, PAINTING A PICTURE OF GODLINESS WHEN THEY ARE LIVING IN EVIL; NAKED EVIL.
64. Do we not have such people? Why are we crying since this lockdown over the manifestations of our children here and there; and over the manifestation of many families.
65. If not the lockdown, what could have exposed them more? The lockdown now placed all the children together with their parents, for one calendar year. They lived together, and parents saw hell. I say, parents saw hell.
66. The man saw hell in his wife. The wife saw hell in the husband. The children saw hell. Then everybody was exposed for what he or she really is. Is it not true?
67. Praise be to God, Who said, “Everybody should go home. Look into the state of your flock. I look into the state of My flock. Then I will know those who will be with Me in Paradise and those I will abandon here.”
68. It is not because I want to abandon them. It is simply because, in spite of all the Teachings, I am still being discomforted by their presence around Me, for there is something in them which My Spirit is still abhorring.
69. IF MY SPIRIT IS ABHORRING YOU, IT IS A SURE SIGN THAT THERE IS NO WAY I CAN LIVE WITH YOU IN PARADISE. IF MY SPIRIT IS ABHORRING YOU, IT THEN MEANS WE ARE NOT WORKING IN HARMONY OF THE SPIRIT.
70. THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN KEEP THE HARMONY; THE BOND OF THE SPIRIT IN LOVE, WHEN THERE IS EVIL.
71. Is there any Scripture that says I should love evil, embrace evil or live in unity with evil?
72. AND THERE CAN NEVER BE EVIL WITHOUT A HUMAN BEING PERPETRATING IT. AM I MAKING SENSE AT ALL? CAN THERE BE EVIL WITHOUT A HUMAN BEING PERPETRATING IT.
73. ONCE WE SAY EVIL, WE MEAN THAT A MAN HAS MADE HIMSELF EVIL AND UNACCEPTABLE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. A HUMAN BEING HAS DECIDED TO WALK UNRIGHTEOUSLY. THAT IS WHAT MAKES US EVIL.
74. I think I have over-flogged this issue. And now, I want to switch over to the words of the Twelve Patriarchs of Israel; the Twelve sons of Jacob. That make up the twelve tribes of Israel.
75. Do not forget the fact that Israel is under judgment of the world for their Messiah Who is here with you visited them
76. What God abhorred; warned them against, and they abandoned it. They now decided to revisit it. They brought the ceremony back, which constituted the greatest idolatry in Israel.
77. I wonder why it is happening in the days of Benjamin Netanyahu. He celebrated it, and then invited over ten? Thousand persons for a feast meant for two? Thousand persons.
78. And the LORD visited all of them with iniquities, slaughtered 45 on the spot and gave 175 serious wounds of which many have died in the hospitals.
79. And this has become the greatest calamity that has befallen Israel while celebrating any ceremony in the name of the LORD since the world began.
80. So, the news had it yesterday night with lamentations and weeping in every home in Israel. A sign of God’s judgment against Israel, for this is the time God is recovering all the exiles back home.
81. It is not the time for idolatry again, having believed in Me. They have seen Me. They surge to the websites. Why should they resort to that evil when God is about to reconcile the two sticks to be one? If it is not promised and prophesied, we will not believe it.
82. So, things that are happening in the Bride, they are happening according to God’s prophecies. We are on the right track. Fix your eyes and your ears; even your heart on what you are going to hear from now.
83. Chiemelie, come and take it. Read verbatim. Go to the pulpit and read intelligently. Do not be too fast, and do not be too slow.
84. If there be any confusion or ambiguity, leave it. I will correct all, but there is none, for they are still Jews and whenever the law of Moses is read, their hearts are darkened.
85. I am here with Grace and Truth. Amen.
