WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? VOLUME 2
PREACHED ON 23RD OCTOBER 2022 BY BISHOP JOE UKPONG AT BISHOP JOE UKPONG’S FAMILY THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD AT AKWA IBOM STATE NIGERIA
APPROVED AND AUTHORIZED
BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA
THE SON OF MAN
There is something I want to see among us, if we are really Brethren, members of one Family; what I want to see is this: that real genuine Love of God, compelling us to correct one another where we are wrong. Let Me tell you why correction does not yield fruit among us. It is because you scandalize one another.
-THE SON OF MAN-
DISPUTE AMONG THE BRETHREN “SIGN OF DEFEAT” AND ONLY PERFECT LOVE PG 91: 14-15
1
LOVE IS MADE COMPLETE IN PATTERNING AFTER YOUR MASTER
Why? Hear me very well. Love is made complete in patterning after your master, because a servant ought to be perfect as the master.
- The moment you hate somebody, you will be looking for faults. But if you love somebody, you can hardly see His faults, for love covers multitude of faults. True or false?”
- Love identifies with love in all conditions. Love goes with appreciation. If you love God – APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA [BBHMHN], to pattern after Him becomes easy. You will be totally submissive and obedient to every word that proceeds from His mouth.
- Turn with me once again to the message: – JUSTIFY YOUR DIGNIFIED INCLUSION IN ADAM’S RIGHTEOUS DESCENDANTS. VOL.2. preached by The Son of Man on Sunday, 3rd April, 2022. PAGE 29:33-43 – “If your pride is not what Christ has done in your life, your pride is a devilish pride. A destructive pride. It will take you to Hell.
- And it will never allow you to learn anything good, for God resists the proud, but He gives Grace to the humble.”
- REFERENCE SOURCE: 1 PETER 5:6, KJV – “Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility; for God resisteth the proud, and giveth Grace to the humble.”
- The grace of God comes to the meek and humble, and not the one that is forced to be humble. The person is the same even tomorrow.
- If a man humbles himself, God will exalt Him, but if a man exalts himself, God will slam him flat on the ground.
- So, check pride because now you are coming up. Now you are coming up, begin to check youthful exuberances due to pride of life which will lead to unnecessary competition, a fair show of dress, a fair show of making hair.
- Like I have told you. As you have seen me, that is the way I want all of you to be looking. An adage says that if you see a child, you will remember his father.
- Do we need to talk about it? Is it not when we see a child that we remember the father?
- If you will leave your beard unshaven while you are with me, when you go back to your location away from me, it then means God is not with you.
- That which God hates here, He will hate everywhere. That appearance you are putting before me should be your natural appearance. You should be known by it. I hope everybody is hearing what I am saying?
- So, your hair should be trimmed. And your beards constantly neat. If Christ is foreseen [and you have seen Christ also] and you have photographed Him with very neat and clean shave; if you are a child of God with everywhere hairy, with bushy hair, are you depicting the picture of Christ? No!”
- PAGE 33:46-50 – “So, you must have Christ’s nature or devil’s nature. All in your hands. I say, all in your hands, for the devil knows how to put another dress upon a child of God.
- Many of the things you take part in do not give you the impression that you are responsible. The responsibility of a man begins with his outlook, coupled with actions and the way he talks. True or false?
- There is a picture you will present to the whole world now; and everybody will be looking at you as a cultist. Is it not true? And when you are putting on a picture that is not of Christ, you are promoting the devil.
- So, your physical appearance and your message must harmonize. Your physical appearance, your actions, your dressing and everything must synchronize. Your life must harmonize with the faith.
- So, your life must be worthy of the Gospel of Christ because, this time around almost everybody is a preacher and a minister in their homes.”
- Pause and examine your look, what picture are you presenting to the people around you, are you depicting the picture of Christ or of the devil? When you are putting on a picture that is not of Christ, you are promoting the devil.
- Turn with me to the message: – APPOINTMENT & CONFIRMATION BEFORE PROMOTION. Volume 1. Preached by The Son of Man on Sunday, 28th June, 2020. PAGE 118:27-31 – “In this faith, Christ is our ceremonial dress. If you are not having Christ as your ceremonial dress, truly speaking, whatever you have is ordinary cloth.
- You can have bridal cloth without having bridal ceremonial dress. The bride is identified through Christ. True or false?
- The ceremonial dress of every married woman is the husband. True or false? The ceremonial dress, I mean socially speaking, domestically speaking, the ceremonial dress of every true husband is the wife. Did you get what I am saying?
- Nothing gives honour to the man more than the wife. Nothing gives honour to the wife more than the husband, before the children will come forth. Did you get the message?
- That you are in this faith without the ceremonial dress means that your appointment has not been confirmed.”
- PAGE 140:92-100 – “Somebody who joined this faith today and is serious with the message can get his appointment confirmed, while somebody who has been there from the very beginning, playing fool of himself, walking hypocritically may stay till the End without his appointment being confirmed.
- Then when you come to the Gate, what evidence will you produce? The evidence of the ticket to paradise is Christ’s nature. Did you get the message? It is Christ’s nature.
- When you are staying in the faith without imbibing Christ’s nature, what are you going to present to me when you get to the end? Nobody is presenting any other thing but Christ.
- You are not coming to say, ‘I am presenting a message. It is written in the Bible. The Great Sermon said’, Nobody wants that.
- We want to see what the Bible said, what the Qur’an said, and what the Great Sermon said.
- We want to see it in your life and in your character, for your character is a reflection of whatever the Qur’an, the Bible, or THE SON OF MAN said. Is it not character? Is it not nature?
- So if after hearing the message and your nature remains the same, unchanged, there is no way you can pass the examination for confirmation.
- Is there provision for that in the Bible? Yes. Must all of us take examination in the end? Yes.
- ‘Every man’s work shall be made manifest, for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is [1st Corinthians 3:13 KJV]”
- There are certain characters that we don’t need anybody to warn us about. We ought to know better.
- Turn with me to the message: – THE YEAR OF MY REDEEMED IS COME. Preached by The Son of Man on 10th January, 1999. PAGE 36:25-27 – “There are certain characters nobody would warn us against again. It then means we are just likened to making a Journey that is too far. You need to take your time and tie your luggage together.
- Remember that I told you that this message of justification by faith or the Grace of God will not last for too long.
- Because this is the ministry for which I am sent. It is the quickest ministry; a quick work would The Lord make on earth. After which He is going to cut it short in righteousness, if not, no flesh shall be saved.
- Note it; this (The Ministry of THE SON OF MAN) is the shortest ministry. God has decided to cut it short in righteousness fulfilling the scripture; a quick work would the Lord do on earth and He shall cut it short in righteousness. If He does not make it quick, cut it short, surely Satan will mess up the whole world.”
- Our God – APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA [BBHMHN] who arrived and lived with us is the comforter, the spirit of truth that arrived and lived with us. He is the straightway that ends in paradise. He has taken us to all the truth, declared and revealed all the hidden truth.
- Now, we are sure and certain that there is nothing left than the translation of our mortal bodies into immortal bodies.
- Turn with me to the message: – JUSTIFY YOUR DIVINE INCLUSION IN ABRAHAMS RIGHTEOUS FAMILY. Volume 1. PAGE 82:57-59 – “We must know the truth from He that existed from the very beginning and that is Christ who was there when the world was created.
- ‘Before anything else existed, there was Christ, with God. He has always been alive and is Himself God. [JOHN 1:1 LB]
- MANY SAW Him. Many heard Him speak. Many ate and drank with Him. And Christ is here, forever more, for He promised, ‘I will never leave you till the end of the world’.
- For the sake of the righteous descendants of Adam, for that is the one who will open the gate of paradise, and let Adam and Eve, and the righteous descendants of Adam into paradise.”
- PAGE 133:42-53 – “God talks to us according to our present circumstances, and puts us in remembrance of the past as a guide against error. Did you get the message?
- I am not wasting my time. I told you that I have come. Nobody can force me to move faster. No! Slowly and steadily; slowly and steadily. The time will not over-delay. Never! It can never over-delay.
- Why am I walking steadily and slowly? I am not leaving any stone unturned, for I am given the greatest assignment to, unearth and bring to reality God’s salvation plan starting from the Garden of Eden where the righteous Abel was killed, down to the last man that will live here before the consummation of this age, sifting everything as I go, making sure that the innocent is not destroyed with the Guilty; that no righteous fellow is destroyed with the unrighteous.
- If I see one who I know belongs to the flock, and is not walking right, my duty is to halt and tend to that one. If I succeed in taming him, I will add him to the flock. I continue again.
- Why? When God wanted to destroy the people of the Jews in the wilderness, Moses fell in the gap and pleaded with God, ‘Do not kill them. Remember how long they lived in Egypt and learnt the ways and the lives of the Egyptians. A good number of them were born in Egypt.
- When they went to Egypt, they were seventy. They are now more than one million, showing that majority were born as Egyptians and they grew up as Egyptians. So, if they are misbehaving, God, do you not think that they are acting according to the way they know?
- Why killing your people? Do you not know that your enemies will say that you are no longer capable of leading them to the Promised Land? So, please show mercy.’
- God said, ‘Moses, according to thy word, I have forgiven, and pardoned. Only those that will remain obstinate, powerful, obstinate, hard, unrepentant unbelievers will I number and destroy as we journey along. But the rest that change their hearts and their minds to obey me in all matters, definitely I assure you most solemnly, they and their righteous descendants must possess the promised land, which is Palestine; Canaan.’
- Did the Lord fulfill it? Yes! Tribe by tribe; local assembly by local assembly; family by family. When they entered, records were taken according to families and according to tribes.
- Are we not in families? Are we not in tribes? Why not give a clap offering to the Lord?
- That which He did in time past; that He is repeating before you, that all men will fear before the Lord. I am the Lord, I changeth not. Therefore, ye sons and daughters of Jacob can never be consumed. Amen.
- ‘And I know this, that whatever God does is final-nothing can be added or taken from it; God’s purpose in this is that man should fear the all-powerful God.
- Whatever is, has been long ago; and whatever is going to be has been before. God brings to pass again what was in the distant past and disappeared. [Ecclesiastes 3:14-15 LB]’
- ‘For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. [Malachi 3:6 KJV]”
- Beloved saints of the most high God – APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA [BBHMHN]. Tell me what we shall give in honour and in appreciation to Him our Lord for saving us from this untoward generation.
- Is it not enough to lift up our hands and say, ‘Thank you Lord, live forever?’ We must constantly give Him praise for what He is doing in our lives every day.
- PAGE 34:6-8 – “What a wonderful privilege for one to be added into God’s own family, not by your merits, not by the works you have done, not for anything good or evil, but simply because He the Almighty God decided that it should be so.
- He saw many; He saw thousands, but He chose you. Why me? Why you? What have I done to receive this unfathomable favour from God?
Once you are a child of God and you are obeying God, living in obedience to His Word you are the friend that God has. All the messages you are hearing today and the ones you are going to hear tomorrow must end in obedience to the Word of God. Else, you have not started. Obedience to the word of God is the ticket to enter paradise.
DEACON JOHN ONYIA-
OBEDIENCE TO GOD HAS A REWARD
PREACHED ON 23TH JUNE 2020 PG 51:7 & 10.
2
OBEDIENCE TO THE TRUTH
IS THE REMEDY
You see, when we consider what He has done, there is no amount of praise or worship we shall give to Him that will be sufficient.”
- All that have decided to remain obstinate, powerful, hard, unrepentant unbelievers, the great question still stares all of you in the face, what are you waiting for?
- All those that are called for salvation are daily adding faith to their faith. They have already developed faith, and with the revelation of the hidden truth, they have added faith to their faith. So therefore, they are growing in faith.
- PAGE 101:27-28 – “It is a delicate faith, for no sensible fellow that has wisdom and intelligence gambles with his eternal destiny, for every man’s eternal destiny is tied to his belief. True or false?
- Your eternal destiny is tied to your belief, for your belief determines your action. And your action determines your final destination, for you must pass through Judgment. Amen.”
- Obedience to the truth is the remedy. Stop wrestling against the truth, believe the truth, walk by the truth, for your life is in danger.
- If you have not seen yourself in paradise, rejoice not. Now, behave right to enable you be declared righteous. You can come from the righteous ancestor, but your character and your attitude will mark you out like ABSALOM. LIKE Hophni and Phinihas. The state of your heart matters most in life and in death.
- Turn with me to the message:- APPOINTMENT & CONFIRMATION BEFORE PROMOTION. VOLUME 2. PAGE 58:52-53 – “What I am trying to explain is this, seeing that we do not know what awaits us; we do not know what our end will look like; we do not know where it will terminate; we do not know the way it will come and the hour it will come; we do not know where it is waiting for us and the manner it is waiting for us, but one thing we know, [is that] once it strikes, our eternity begins. Is it a lie brethren?
- No U-turn. No repentance. Then, is the life I have lived before enough to qualify me for eternal life? Is it enough to take me to heaven? What could I be doing when it happen? This is because what you are doing when it happens is important.”
- That you have today, is not a guarantee that you will have tomorrow.. That is why any day you see yourself alive, see it as the day God has given you as your last day to get rid of all that you have noticed is wrong with you. This is because, if you do not correct your error nobody will correct it. There is nobody who does not know where he is faulty. So let us be very, very careful.
- Turn with me to the message:- JUSTIFY YOUR DIVINE INCLUSION IN ABRAHAMS RIGHTEOUS FAMILY. Volume 1. PAGE 179:31-32 –
“Let us be very careful. If there is a time we should be cautious, it is now. It is a time of great falling away from the faith that the last truth manifests. When the last truth manifests, there will be a great falling away. - These people we call “Fall Away” had already fallen away before the last truth appeared.”
- Turn with me to the message: – I LEFT HOME FULL AND CAME BACK EMPTY. Volume 1. Preached by The Son of Man on Sunday, 11th July, 2021. PAGE 27: 23 – “You see why you must be tried with the truth you have received from God. You see why you must train yourself with the message and be useful.
- It is better for you to succeed and allow others to envy you than to fail and allow their dreams concerning you to come to pass. This is because one that is not doing well will always wish that everybody will be like him”
- PAGE 89:18-25 – “To those who are faring well, hearing THE LORD and OBEYING, My appeal is that you will continue to fear the LORD, continue to respect God. Continue to OBEY. Never allow yourself to be influenced by those Habits which are not admissible in the sight of God.
- Do not allow people with condemnable characteristics to influence you to do wrong for one that is well trained, tutored, disciplined, who has a good conscience and a good heart does not follow the majority when they are wrong.
- A wise child who is desiring to achieve the best in his life can never subscribe to any character or lifestyle that runs contrary to the training he has so far received from God through his parents or through a God-sent representative, vindicated and confirmed.
- Anybody that is easily influenced into doing wrong is a fool. The heart is not yet converted. If you are easily influenced to join evil people, evil conversation, evil conversation that spoils good character and evil companion;
- If you mingle with people very easily, very recklessly, thoughtlessly without recourse to what they believe, where they are coming from, what they are standing for, and you do not consider, that person is a fool of all fools.
- After knowing THE TRUTH, A true seed of God is always suspicious of everybody and does not mingle with people anyhow.
- He examines judiciously. He weighs everything around them, being one that is very very visionary. With every step they make, He [THE SEED of God] knows where they are heading to. So, check yourself.
- If you are a seed of God, stand firm. I say stand firm even in the liberty where Christ has set you free. Not liberty to do evil. But liberty to do good, knowing that in the end, we shall give account of how we have lived our lives here-young and old, whether we like it or not.”
- Everybody must give account of his or her stewardship. As stewards of Christ- APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA [BBHMHN], every true steward knows that he must give account of his stewardship to Him.
- PAGE 94:28-37 – “So, let us live our lives as people who will be held accountable to God. May we never live our lives anyhow. To live life anyhow means having no target.
- It goes to show that the person does not believe in God. You do not believe there is judgment. You do not believe there is heaven, and you do not believe there is hell. You are in the group that will say, ‘Wherever I see myself I will take’.
- Do not mingle with fools, otherwise you will learn their foolishness. Dissociate yourself from people that walk contrary to the revealed doctrines and the teachings of Christ. Have nothing to do with the unfruitful works of the devil – the enemy.
- He says, “Expose them. Come out from among them and be ye separate” don’t touch anything unclean which they are practicing. Do not join in their wild life. Remain aloof.
- Stay with God and THE LORD will fight your battles for you and will never allow you to be ravaged by their plans.
- Whatever might be their wicked plans concerning THE RIGHTEOUS, they can never prosper. I say, they can never prosper for it takes THE UNRIGHTEOUS TO PLOT AGAINST THE RIGHTEOUS ONE.
- But has any prospered? Never! For THE LORD will never allow their evil plans to prosper because Cain was envious of Abel.
- Anybody that is not performing well hates one who is having a good report. Do everything aiming at having a good report before God and before man. It is to your own credit.
- If you come from a very bad family, have it at the back of your mind that you will change the record for the better, and that you are going to raise a generation of priesthood that will call upon the name of God, not continuing in idolatry.
- And the LORD will give you a backing, for God supports the course of the righteous, but stands against the plans of the wicked. Do you believe it?” [I BELIEVE IT MY LORD]
- Every man, every woman, every child, everybody must go the way he or she is ordained to go by the Almighty.
- If those that know God – APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA [BBHMHN] and are practically acquainted with Him, if it will be hard to save any, what do you think will be the fate of those that do not Know Him as God, no matter the efforts we have made for them to know who He God is?
- For if you do not know Him as God. Welcome Him as God and receive Him as God, to worship Him becomes impossible.
- So, what then are you waiting for?
- The SON OF MAN – APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA [BBHMHN] the Lord Almighty knows His destination point and that’s the reason He is telling us that we are almost there. He said and I quote from the message:- WE ARE ALMOST THERE, that “One of these days, your offering will not be offered again. Your best offering will be your PRAISES.”
- WE HAVE ALREADY WON OUR BATTLE AGAINST OUR ENEMIES.
- Turn with me to the message:- WE ARE ALMOST THERE. Preached by The Son of Man on 19th December, 2010. PAGE 31:49 – “You see, the wedding supper of the Lamb is coming up any moment from now. We are almost there; sweeter than the weddings that we used to have in this flesh.
- The wedding we are having now is nothing to be compared to the wedding we are going to be ushered into.”
- Have it behind your mind that the wedding we are going to be ushered into very soon will not be in this mortal flesh.
- PAGE 26:38 – “What can you say about this MAN, THE HIDDEN REVEALER? The whole truth is this, nothing shall be left here, but the elect. Anybody whose name was not written in the Lamb’s book of life from the foundation of the world, should forget it.
- Anyone that is not ordained for THE SON OF MAN can never abide with me till the end. If you were not ordained, predestined, foreknown to be a part of what God is going to do in this age, you can never abide till the end.”
- PAGE 32:52 – “As we see the day approaching, we remind ourselves of all these basic truths we received from the very beginning.”
- PAGE 108:33 – “I am mad; call me mad, after all, every spiritual man is mad. I am mad. Let me say it whether you will believe it or not; I came down from heaven to do the will of my father who sent me.
- When my mission on earth is accomplished, I am going back to heaven with those that will believe in me, for I am sent to come and bring them back to their father and my own father and on that day, you will know that I have not deceived you one bit. You will know that I am in the father and the father is in me.”
- Let me say it whether you will believe it or not, the Son of Man – APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA [BBHMHN] is the Elohim Himself, a man that is not of the earth that came down from heaven with the pillar of cloud, with the pillar of light, clothed with a rainbow over His head, He is here with us.
- When His mission on earth is accomplished, He is going back to heaven with those that will believe in Him. For He is sent to come and bring us back home.
- Turn with me to the message:- ACTION TIME PART 1 [HUSBANDS AND WIVES] CAMP MEETING. Preached by The Son of Man on Tuesday, 30th December, 1997. PAGE 103:25-27 – “Do we have a king? Do we have a Queen [Bride] that is about to be paraded all over the world? Has He [Christ] been nurturing her? He has been nurturing her, adorning her, preparing her, doing – everything.
- A day is coming the whole world will gather only to see the person for which cause He died. The woman that caused Him to leave His throne and come to identify with her. This is because, having prepared her, He is certain that the woman must be fair to look at.
- People will acknowledge that the king did not make a mistake travelling too far, leaving Israel, He did not make a mistake travelling far across the Mediterranean Sea down to Africa only to pick His Bride.
- This is because Moses picked his Bride in Egypt, Joseph picked his Bride in Egypt. Out of Egypt, I called my son!”
- I want us to answer two important questions there before we proceed.
[1] Do we have a King? Yes, sure and certain, we have a King and He is Christ the King, the Elohim Himself, APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA [BBHMHN]
[2] Do we have a Queen [Bride] that is about to be paraded all over the world? Yes, sure and certain, we have a Queen and she is the Queen of Paradise [MUMMY NZUBECHI JOY ODOEMENA]. She is the representation of the Bride of Christ, the body of Christ. - There is no manifestation of God in our midst that is not scriptural.
- When Christ the King came back in His second advent after paying the penalty with His precious blood that speaks of greater things than the Blood of Abel, He took a wife who He prepared, really nurtured Her to be a model, an icon, of the Bride, the church of the first born.
- He raised Her [MUMMY NZUBECHI, SON OF MAN ODOEMENA] as the exact model of what He wants the Bridal church of the first born to look exactly like. That is why she is the first fruit He harvested, the elect Lady.
- Therefore, we have the true model and icon of the Bride Groom and Bride we must look-like.
- Turn with me to the message:- TAKE YOUR FLOWERS WHILE YOU LIVE. Volume 1. A compilation by Deacon David Mbah on 6th February 2022. PAGE 27:1-2 – “In the second advent of Christ, of a necessity; He had to start from where He stopped in His first advent. In the 33rd year in His second advent, He took a wife in order to show us a perfect example of what marriage [Family Life] is all about and which was what the Devil tampered with in the beginning, right there in the Garden of Eden.
- In keeping with His eternal purpose of reconciling mankind [Elect] to Himself unto salvation, somebody has to be His wife to fulfill this Divine Mandate of correcting all the errors that had kept Man away from paradise. The unmistakable choice became MUMMY NZUBECHI JOY SON OF MAN ODOEMENA and the journey started.”
- When we talk of the teaching, that is, the doctrines, they are the life of The Son of Man, APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA [BBHMHN], and that is what He infused into His wife and she became The Son of Man in nature and character.
- Turn with me to the message:- JUSTIFY YOUR DIGNIFIED INCLUSION IN ADAM’S RIGHTEOUS DESCENDANTS EXPLAINED. Volume 2. Preached By The Son of Man on Sunday 3rd April, 2022. PAGE 50:92-94 – “Yes, the first fruit shall be called from here. Where else are you expecting first fruits? Is it not here? [This is] because this is where God dwells. The seed was first planted here. Is it not true?
- I first planted this seed in my wife. She conceived. And from her loins, you came out. Then, I co-opted my brethren from their homes into my house.
- And I am also planting the same seed in them, believing that whatever I am is what they will be, and wherever I am, there they shall be also… period!”
- Turn again with me to this message:- JUSTIFY YOUR DIGNIFIED INCLUSION IN ADAM’S RIGHTEOUS DESCENDANTS EXPLAINED. Volume 1. PAGE 50:39-43 – “Being the first seed THE SON OF MAN planted, she became the first THE SON OF MAN harvested through death, with the promise of resurrection, while some will remain, with THE SON OF MAN having His eyes upon them, watching to know whether they are really what they are claiming to be, and to make sure there is no mistakes at all.
- To the women, she laid a perfect example. To the children, my children are still with you. It is not that they have attained the height I set for them but at least, for now, they are the first among their equals.
- Believe it if you can, when placed on the parameter of THE WORD, they are still ranking first.
- If all our youths will behave like them, my job is made very easy. We will all have pleasurable ride into paradise. I know where their problem lies, if any, and they know where I have been pointing at.
- Any day they correct that area, they have no difficulties again with me. I will simply have my rest. Even, if I will depart in this flesh and have them here for a while. I am okay. If you know their flaws happy are you.”
- That is why the most High Lord said in the scripture that we should look unto Abraham and Sarah. That is, we should look – like the Son of Man – APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA [BBHMHN] the Abraham of our own day. And look-like MUMMY NZUBECHI JOY ODOEMENA the Sarah of our own day. For they remain God’s standard for all men and women.
- Turn with me to the scriptures:- ISAIAH 51:1-2[AMP] – “Hearken to me, you who follow after righteousness and justice, you who seek and inquire of [and require] The Lord [claiming Him by necessity and by right]. Look at the rock from which you were hewn and to the hole in the quarry from which you were dug,
- Look to Abraham your father and to Sarah who bore you; for I called Him when He was but one, and I blessed Him and made Him many.”
- This is clear that we should have the nature and character of THE SON OF MAN – APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA [BBHMHN] for that is the same nature and character of our MUMMY NZUBECHI ODOEMENA.
- Have it behind your mind that Almighty God in His righteous tabernacle –APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA [BBHMHN] married His nature. The nature of Sarah our MUMMY JOY NZUBECHI ODOEMENA is the nature of her husband Christ. And that is the nature the Bride church of the first born must have.
- Turn with me to the message:- THE WOMAN OF SUBSEQUENT CREATION – MEMORIAL SERVICE IN HONOUR OF THE QUEEN OF PARADISE [MUMMY NZUBECHI JOY ODOEMENA] Part 2 vol.2 PAGE 42:21-24 – “Her starting – point of the greatest power is, for her home and heart! Oh! If you were acquainted with my wife, personally and practically, you would not have difficulties any more in living the life of the kingdom.
- I know where her strength lies. My wife never cherished any material thing. She told me clearly and I noticed it in her life. Those things do not thrill her at all.
- Her delight had always been in making sure that she is in right standing with me and with THE ALMIGHTY. Another is to make sure that evil is not associated with her family.
- Then, finally, she had always held herself out to all the brethren, male and female, intending to impart positively in the lives of every family until they will be behaving like members of her own family.”
- Truly speaking, if you were acquainted with our MUMMY NZUBECHI JOY ODOEMENA personally and practically you would not have difficulties any more in living the life of the kingdom.
- Let us proceed to the same message:- THE WOMAN OF SUBSEQUENT CREATION – MEMORIAL SERVICE IN HONOUR OF THE QUEEN OF PARADISE [MUMMY NZUBECHI ODOEMENA]. PART 2. VOLUME 1. PAGE 93:15-17 – “What went forth before was ordinary phony to upset the original. And that phony was documented in the Book of Jeremiah chapter 44, called Queen of Heaven.
- The Lord decried it. The Prophet decried it, ‘Pay no attention to the queen of Heaven. Worship her not’, but the people said, ‘Over their dead bodies’ and that they must continue to worship her.
- But now at last, the Lord finally came with the Queen of paradise. In paradise, the first Queen there was Eve who faltered, and God promised Adam and Eve another spiritual rebirth when He must have taken the flesh of men to reproduce a spiritual Adam and a spiritual Eve otherwise no hope of eternal life for any human being. And He has done it.”
- That is why when the Queen of Paradise finished her assignment, that is, she fulfilled her own ministry being the spiritual second Eve, the Elect Lady, representation of the Bride church of the first born, the Elohim in the Shekinah light visited her on Sunday 29th of August 2021 in the fellowship before He welcomed her home to wait for the king and all the chosen and predestinated Bride members.
- Remember she patterned after her Husband – Christ the King in all things pertaining to life and godliness which was testified by the whole world [Bride] and even the heathens.
- The next time will be the King parading her and all that have patterned after her the true model Bride, the standard.
- Turn with me to the message:- THE MEMORIAL VOICE OF THE QUEEN OF PARADISE. VOLUME 1. Preached By The Son of Man on Sunday 10th April, 2022. PAGE 62:67-69 – “So, I am not being a false witness, good. If you know anybody the ELOHIM in this generation has appeared to in time past to take home, mention that person.
- The brethren gathered in the fellowship and it was announced that we are going to receive God’s visitation that same day, and it happened according to the voice we heard in the opening of the service. THE ELOHIM visited for a purpose for He does not display such super natural signs in vain.
- God does not use super natural signs to embarrass a people. No! Wherever you see God in the Shekinah light, He is coming for something. You cannot see SHEKINAH with the visible eyes anyhow. It is for a mission. I hope I am making sense.”
- The Elohim in the Shekinah light visited for a purpose for He does not display such super natural signs in vain.
- Now, let us see the purpose He visited in the message:- BRIDAL ADDRESS FROM THE SON OF MAN PART 3, VOLUME 2. ON Sunday 24th of April, 2022. PAGE 69:72-76 – “God is the all-wise God. Do you know that if God did not come with the pillar of light, my wife would not have agreed to go? God disguised Himself, came in the pillar of light, attended the fellowship and we jubilated.
- She danced and danced to exhaustion that day, but within Me, I was sorrowing and sorrowing, for I knew what took place. I tried to comfort everybody even in my words but I knew the real thing that took place.
- It was not until we got inside that the thing became a burden I could not bear. I started telling Brethren there is something that is draining the whole water inside my body.
- Yes sir! While others were rejoicing with the visitation, I was dying inside. I do not want to go there.”
- Fellow saints of God, it was not quite an easy issue for the Almighty to permit His beloved wife who was always by His side for 33 years to go and rest, and it was not equally easy for her to agree that is why the Elohim disguised Himself, came in the pillar of light and attended fellowship. For everything must work according to His divine will and plan. Every man should love His wife as Christ loved His beloved wife. We have seen the true love being manifested.
- If our MUMMY NZUBECHI JOY ODOEMENA – THE QUEEN OF PARADISE patterned after her husband the King in all things pertaining to life and godliness and we her children pattern after her, have we not patterned after Christ the King? We have is my answer.
- For the Bride is clothed with the word of God and the word of God is the righteousness of the Bride for the word is God Himself and the word of God is fulfilled in His Queen, MUMMY NZUBECHI JOY ODOEMENA, the representation of the Bride, the elect lady.
- Let us proceed to the message:- THE MEMORIAL VOICE OF THE QUEEN OF PARADISE VOLUME 1. PAGE 108 VERSES 36-38 – “Who then brought her from Egypt and made her what she is? She is what she is because that is what I made her, she exalted me and at the same time received exaltation, she made me a king and she became my Queen. Did you get what I am saying?
- So, in the attempt of a woman to promote her husband, she has promoted herself. If you debase your husband, you have indirectly debased yourself. Where is your honour?
- Whatever that happens around her in life and in death is as a result of her marriage to THE CHOSEN ONE that bears THE NAME OF GOD in this dispensation.”
- As He, Christ the King brought out Mummy from Egypt which is a type of the world, and molded her to be what she is, so He also brought us the bride church from Egypt and moulded us to be what we are today. We are what we are today because that is what He made us. For He is the potter and we are the clay in His hands.
- So, once we exalt Him as our Mummy exalted Him, we must receive exaltation just as she received if we make Him our King as our Mummy made Him, we will also become His Queen [Bride Church of the first born].
- As it is with the original model, so shall it be with us as long as we continue to live as she lived and do all things as she did to please the King – Christ our Lord.
- PAGE 109:41-43 – “That is why I warn you, whenever I come your way, make the best use of me, for one of these days, you will look for me and you will not see me. You begin to weep when you remember one of the days of THE SON OF MAN. You will be praying to have them again but you would not have them.
- What gives me Joy? I am not leaving the scene alone. I am leaving with a few. I am leaving with a few [Hand picked, selected] who have been with me. I am leaving with them
- That is why I told you, if I am not comfortable associating with you here on earth, I will never feel comfortable living with you elsewhere.”
- PAGE 111:46-50 – “So take note of what I am saying. Do not think that when you are discomforting me, you are receiving praise. The Devil will only praise you for discomforting THE SON OF MAN for the devil knows that he is bringing you to hell.
- Whether you are big or small I do not care. Pray that it must be from THE SON OF MAN’S FAMILY to heaven, and not from here to hell. Pray earnestly!
As a result, if you are using distance as an excuse, the Queen of Sheba will rise up in judgment to condemn you. If you are saying that what is in Bethel is also in Dan, I am telling you, you are right. But what is in Bethel, what is in Dan can never be in Jerusalem. In Jerusalem is the fullness of Godhead bodily.

MAKE GOD YOUR PRIORITY
Wherever you find yourself and you begin to misbehave because you think God is not there, it is a sure sign that God has already rejected you and you knew it not.
- This is because God is with you while you are with Him. If you forsake Him, He will forsake you. Acknowledge Him wherever you go.
- Make Him your priority. Let Him be your goal, just like the Ultimate goal of this family has always been to do the will of God; to please Him at all times and to maintain unbeatable Records in the sight of God from the beginning to finish.
- ”Let us also hear what our Prophet William Marrion Branham said in respect of the Bride, the spiritual Eve from the message compiled: THIS WOULD STAND QUOTING. PAGE 31 PARAGRAPH 5 – “Predestined… there’s the mystery, see? Before Christ or anything else was ever on earth [you see this great mystery that He choose the Bride knowing Eve would fall from disbelieving the word. Knowing that she would fall, but He would choose a bride that would not fall, that would hold to that word regardless of what all the rest of the world had to say about it, they would hold to that word, they were predestined to stand there.
- The Adoption of children by Jesus Christ predestination of THE CHURCH to that great glorious-stand!”[From The Message: CHRIST IS THE MYSTERY OF GOD REVEALED. PAGE 29]
- BEFORE THE Elohim appeared in human flesh here on earth, He had already chosen and predestined a bride knowing that Eve would fall by disbelieving the spoken word.
- The bride He choose and predestined is our Mummy Nzubechi Joy Odoemena who succeeded where Eve failed, regardless of what all the rest of the people had to say about the faith, the spoken word. She was predestined to stand firmly and gallantly holding to the truth no matter the situation or circumstances. The manifestation is the interpretation.
- Now, you know the best way for our teacher who is God in person; APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA [BBHMHN] to teach us is to use physical example that we can see, and learn quickly by emulation.
- So, He used Himself and His beloved wife to teach us how to build a home and a family. For many have family without a home.
- Always have it behind your mind that our Mummy Joy Nzubechi Odoemena is the spiritual second Eve that corrected the errors of the first Eve.
- She [our Mummy] stood gallantly believing and obeying the spoken word in every circumstance that beats human imagination. Why?
- She had always totally depended and relied on Her Husband, Christ the King who remained her resistance against every false anointing and evil attacks.
- Then, He Christ – The Son of Man adopted us the elects whom He predestined, called and built into His family and placed Himself as our Icon and Mummy His wife, our Model before us all as the standard and the pattern which eventually brought us to this Glorious stand, amen.
- Now, let us hear the second quote from the compiled messages of the Prophet:- THIS WOULD STAND QUOTING PAGE 32 PARAGRAPH 5 – “…And while all this uniting’s being going on, there is another uniting going on Amen! That’s what I want to point to you now.
- God is uniting His Bride. She’s coming together, from the east and the west. From the north and the south. There is a uniting time, and that’s on right now. What’s she uniting for? The rapture! Amen!
- God’s getting her ready. Yes sir, “uniting” what’s she uniting with? With “THE WORD!”
- “For all the heavens and earth will pass away but my word shall never pass away.”
- She’s uniting herself with THUS SAITH THE LORD, regardless of what any denomination or anybody else say. [From the message: THE UNITING TIME AND SIGN. Preached on 18/8/63. P- 20 vs. 6&10. Jefferson Ville, Indiana – USA]
- Our Mummy the Queen of Paradise Nzubechi Joy Odoemena perfectly united herself with thus saith the Lord, regardless of what any denomination or anybody else said.
- And this is exactly what is taking place now. Our Lord God and master, THE SON OF MAN, APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA [BBHMHN] is getting the predestined bridal church ready – putting them in the rapturing condition.
- If up till this very moment you have not found your position in Christ – The Son of Man, and you have not traced your ancestral parents very well, your ancestral genealogies without any mistake, you cannot boldly stand up and say, “you know you are a righteous descendant of Adam” then, stop wasting your time for you are waiting for total and complete destruction and not total and complete salvation.
- Remember that The Son of Man has emptied Himself into earthen vessels, which are the Queen of Paradise and the Bridal faith.
- She our Mummy is the first to habour God’s treasure, followed by all her children, the true Bridal church. Earthen vessels habouring God’s treasure.
- Turn with me to the message:- THUMB PRINT. VOLUME 3. Preached By The Son of Man on Sunday 10th July, 2022 – “When you are the earthen vessel habouring God’s treasure, God has stored the treasure which is His word – His spirit. The word of salvation is now stored in you, you become the store house. You become the storage instrument for the word of God.
- 2 CORINTHIANS 4:7, MESSAGE BIBLE. – If you only look at us, you might well miss the brightness. We carry this precious message around in the unadorned clay pots of our ordinary lives. That’s to prevent anyone from confusing God’s incomparable power with us.
- KING JAMES VERSION. – But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
- AMPLIFIED VERSION – However, we posses this precious treasure [The Divine Light of the Gospel] in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves.
- GOOD NEWS BIBLE – Yet we who have this spiritual treasure are like common clay pots, in order to show that the supreme power belongs to God, not to us.
- LIVING BIBLE – But this precious treasure. This light and power that now shine within us – is held in a perishable container, that is, in our weak bodies. Every one can see that the glorious power within, must be from God and is not our own.
- Now what will you be reflecting? You will become the written Bible, the written Qur’an, the written Holy book which every human being will be reading, whoever that wants to know God, should look at you.”
- God is saying that me and you are the true temple of the living God where He has stored His treasures. Pause and examine yourself to know if you are actually reflecting it. Are you really the living word?
- PAGE 69:81-88 – “Human being is the greatest treasure in every family. True or false? Are you surprised that God decided to hide Himself in an earthen vessel where human beings can hardly go and look for Him?
- When we say God’s treasure, people’s mind will go on money. But God’s treasure is the living word, and the living word is dwelling, being stored in the living soul – The living human being, you are the living soul.
- For the man is nothing. All human being is nothing, but something God molded in His own image, and then, God breathed into man’s nostrils, His own breath of life and that man became a living soul. He became an Amateur God.
- GENESIS 2:7, KJV – And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
- PSALMS 119:11, LB – I have thought much about your words, and stored them in my heart so that they would hold me back from sin.
- So, when God wants to store His treasure [whatever that makes Him what He is], He stores it in a man so that man will continue with God in harmony and in peace. Did you get the message?
- So you are the written epistles, written message and written sermon which every body can see, read and then understand very easily. It is your character. It is your manifestation because it is believed that you will never live a life higher than the teaching you have received.
- But what if you begin to live a life lower than that teaching? It makes you a traitor. It makes you a blasphemer. It makes you a hypocrite, for you are claiming what you are not.”
- This is the hour for you to personally meditate on all you have received as teaching from the Lord Almighty. From your manifestation, are you living according to the teaching you have received or are you living your life lower than the teaching?
- The Lord Almighty – The Son of Man – Apostle Peter Odoemena {BBHMHN] cannot continue to plant because there is planting season and harvesting season. Recognize the season we are in, and know that the first fruit He planted has been harvested in death and some will be harvested in translation.
- Where are you standing, and what are you waiting for?
- If you have taken note you will discover that the Lord Almighty is saluting every elect of God scattered all over the world, who are numbered among the righteous descendants of Adam. Thanking and appreciating the Elohim who dwells in Him, on behalf of all of them, as a farmer thanks God for His bumper harvest.
- With this, where do you place yourself at this hour?
- Turn with me once again to the message:- JUSTIFY YOUR DIVINE INCLUSION IN ABRAHAMS RIGHTEOUS FAMILY. Volume 1. Preached By The Son of Man on Sunday 20th June, 2021. PAGE 39: 21-26 – “I want to salute every elect of God scattered all over the world, who are numbered among the righteous descendants of Adam. Take note of my introduction this morning.
- I said, ‘I want to thank God and appreciate Him on behalf of all the sons and daughters of God, whom He has already chosen before hand to be made manifest in this day, that have traced their ancestral parents very well; that have traced their ancestral genealogies without any mistake.
- They can boldly stand up and say, “I know I am a descendant of Adam”. Not only Adam, but from the righteous descendants of Adam. That is where I proceeded from, for there are also unrighteous descendants of Adam.’
- These are the people that can be traced down to Cain. Cain, whose name appeared in the lost book, even in the Bible. God was talking to us concerning love for one another.
- He said, ‘love yourself. You love yourself as you have loved others. Love God, love yourself and love others. Do not allow your love to be like that of Cain who deceived his brother with his mouth that he loved’, but went and lured him out and murdered him.
- The message you heard from the very beginning is this: We must love one another.
- We must not be like Cain; he belonged to the evil one and murdered his own brother Abel. Why did Cain murder him? Because the things he himself did were wrong, and the things his brother did were right. [1 JOHN 3:11-12 GNB]
- Do not allow your love to be that of Cain.
- Remember that at the season of harvest the farmer is not concerned about the grasses and weed, his concern is the crops – the wheat, the corn etc.
- It should be very clear to you now that our Lord and Master is very concerned about the elects, the Sons and daughters of God, whom he has already chosen before hand to be made manifest in this day, that have traced their ancestral parents very well. He is not concerned about the none elects.
- So, what is your position right now?
- Now, turn with me to the message:- THE TIDE IS GATHERING. Preached by The Son of Man on 11th March, 2012. PAGE 45:17-18 – “We have been taught all these years and this is the hour of presentation of the Bride.
- The hour of presentation of the bride. You must know what is happening, this is the hour of presentation of the Bride, the body of Christ is about to be handed over to the real owner.”
- PAGE 46:20-23 – “The Bride is about to be presented to the Owner, the Kingdom is about to be delivered into the Hands of the owner; ‘father, this is the much I gathered from the earth. From the zone where you posted me all these years, these are the number I gathered.’ No more, no less.
- If you know your name is in the number say Amen! If you really know, if you are sure and certain, i am sure of my own. I do not know about you. If you know you are sure like THE SON OF MAN is sure, say Amen and rejoice.
- Because if you know you are sure, you say Amen by revelation. You are wearing cloth, don’t you know? This is what it takes to know your place. Judging from the word, judging from the prophesy; judging from revelation you are there. No unbelief.
- Note, ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM. Thus, the body of Christ is one indivisible entity, unique and must be presented same as a unique entity.”
- PAGE 68:17 – “This is the period of self-examination. We are carrying out another form of review, mock test, Hour of presentation of the Bride of Christ. After decorating the Bride, He will present her unto Himself as a Glorious Virgin not having spot or wrinkle or blemish.”
- Take note here that Christ – APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA [BBHMHN], after decorating the Bride, He will present her unto Himself as a glorious virgin not having spot or wrinkle or blemish. For He and the father are one.
- PAGE 72:30 – “Unity of the body and of the spirit is what God is testing this time around. He wants to know whether we are united in the body and also in the spirit, for that is the only people God is taking home.”
- God is taking home the people that are united in the spirit, united also in the body. When this two are united, then the character must be one for behind every character, there is always a spirit.
- This is the hour the Holy Spirit will bear witness of the level of work, level of transformation, level of change that has taken place in our lives. You cannot put on anything. No cosmetic appearance.
- Always remember that the Holy Spirit or the Holy Ghost is a Man. The credit goes to Him – The Son of Man – APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA [BBHMHN], and Him alone.
- So what is now expected of us, sons and daughters of God?
- PAGE 74:37-39 – “Begin to examine yourself, let me begin to examine myself to know whether I am measuring up to the standard God has set for all that will be with Him eternally in paradise.
- A standard God has set for all that will be with Him eternally which He can never lower down because of anybody. He does not accept bribe.
- This must be our standard. No cause of offence will be found there [PARADISE].”
- The standard remains The Son of Man and His beloved wife, The Queen of Paradise.
- Therefore, re-examine yourself, do not rest or relax until you are sure you are measuring up to the standard He our God has set.
- PAGE 77:51 – “Do not allow anybody to find fault with you, but find fault with yourself so that the correction will be very easy. If somebody faults with you, you might be thinking that he hates you. However, if you can fault yourself, correction is already made easy. Amen.”
- As a true seed of God, you must allow truth to have overriding influence over your human decisions. Let us take this word of advice from our Lord God and Master in the message: – BRIDAL ADDRESS FROM THE SON OF MAN. PART 3. VOLUME 1. ON SUNDAY 24TH OF APRIL, 2022.
- PAGE 84:3 – “Whatever you are deciding should be according to truth. Whatever life you want to live must be according to truth. Whatever sense you want to display should be according to truth otherwise you are against yourself and you do not know it.”
- PAGE 86:9-10 – “I am saying that I’m sympathetic to some people who are abysmally poor, not because they do not have money but because they reason against themselves.
- When you reason against yourself you become your own self obstacle. You constitute your own self obstacle which you cannot surmount, for your greatest enemy is yourself.”
- Our doctrine says, you don’t just sit down and clap your hands with us until you are convinced. For if you are not convinced, you cannot be concerned. You must scrutinize and ask very hard questions to be sure you are on the right road.
- And if you are not convinced, you must go to those who believe what you believe. For if you remain with us, you will cause trouble for you don’t believe what we believe.
- If you are not convinced up till this very moment, why are you still among us? And what are you actually waiting for?
- It is very hard to believe that our Lord and God – APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA [BBHMHN] is only talking to believers and not to unbelievers. If you are an unbeliever in this most holy faith, no matter how He our God talk, it does not concern you because you are not waiting for what He came to give, which is total and complete salvation as the author and finisher of our faith.
- I am very sure and certain that He our God is not talking even at the moment because of unbelievers, He is talking because of genuine believers.
- So, therefore, you should know where you belong to because unbelief takes place in the heart.
- Turn with me to the message: – WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL BE MY RIGHTEOUSNESS BEFORE GOD? Preached By The Son of Man on Thursday 2nd April, 1998. Page 25:12-13 – “It is very hard to believe that am talking to believers not to unbelievers. If you are an unbeliever in this most holy faith, no matter how I talk, it does not concern you.
- Yes, I am very sure I am not screaming because of unbelievers! I am screaming and shouting because of believers. Thus, you know where you belong to, because unbelief takes place in the heart.”
- Concluding reminder from our Lord and Master from the message: – THUMB PRINT. Volume 1. Preached By The Son of Man on Sunday 10th July, 2022. PAGE 31:30-47 – “To God alone be the Glory, great things He has done in our lives. Naturally, no human being can obey God. No human being can humble himself before God. That is why it takes God to dwell in us, helping us to obey Him. For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Do everything without complaining or arguing,
PHILLIPIANS 2:13-14
NIV
4
NO HUMAN BEING CAN OBEY
GOD NATURALLY
PHILLIPIANS 2:13, LB – “For God is at work within you, helping you want to obey Him, and then helping you do what He wants.”
- AMPLIFIED VERSION – “[Not in your own strength] for it is God who is all the while effectually at work in you [Energizing and creating in you the power and desire] both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.
- That is why we pray earnestly that the Spirit of God will always abide with us. Grieve not that spirit away by living a wrong life after knowing the truth. You have been taught and brought up in the truth. Live the life of the truth so that you remain in favour with God. Live the life so that your relationship with God will remain cordial and friendly.
- Remember, the prophet Job said that on that great day, he was sure and certain that he must meet God here on earth standing in human form, and when he meet God, he will meet Him not as an enemy but as a friend. Not as an enemy but as a friend.
- JOB 19:25-27, LB – “But as for me, I know that my redeemer lives, and that He will stand upon the earth at last.
- And I know that after this body has decayed, this body shall see God!
- Then he will be on my side! Yes, I shall see Him, not as a stranger but as a friend! What a glorious hope.”
- This is the hour of real meditation. Individual meditation, and collective. This is the hour of personal meditation. Think about your life. Think about your life. Are you satisfied with what your life is giving you with what you are manifesting?
- In spite of all the teachings, instructions, counsels and corrections from God, are you satisfied with the output of your life? Is your conscience free from offence before God and before Man? Is your conscience justifying you that you are behaving well or are you under condemnation by your conscience?
- This is the period of personal meditation. What is your conscience telling you? In all your doings, in all the thoughts and imaginations of your heart, what is your conscience telling you?
- This is because conscience is placed in every man, whether you go to school or not, you have conscience. That is the only thing in man that will never tell lies. You know all you have done. You know all you are planning to do, your conscience bearing you witness.
- Is your conscience testifying against you or justifying you? Judge from the level of messages, teachings, doctrines, instructions, warning, corrections, reprove and rebuke you have received, check your manifestations.
- This is because if we judge ourselves right now in this faith, the scripture said, “God will no longer judge us,” and that is, if we can tell ourselves the truth on how we have been living our lives. Even till this morning, what is our conscience telling us? What is your own conscience telling you?
- 1 CORINTHIANS 11:31-32, AMP – “For if we searchingly examined ourselves [detecting our short comings and recognizing our own condition], we should not be judged and penalty decreed [by the divine judgment].
- But when we [fall short and] are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined and chastened, so that we may not [finally] be condemned [to eternal punishment along] with the world.”
- If you are not condemned by your conscience for violating the truth that you have received, it then means you stand justified before God according to the scriptures.
- 1 JOHN 3:21, AMP – “And, beloved, if our consciences [our hearts] do not accuse us [if they do not make us feel guilty and condemn us] we have confidence [complete assurance and boldness] before God.”
- You see why it is necessary that we come before the Lord every minute of the day, come before Him, for He is our mirror.
- We cannot deny that God has not taught us. We have been over taught. There is no group of people under the sun that have received the level of teachings we have received from the Almighty God, confirmed and vindicated before many witnesses with infallible proofs, unquestionable evidences and series of many convincing demonstrations.
- Is there any reason anybody can give for failing? Is there any good way of doing a wrong thing? Can we blame God? What do we believe is responsible for our short comings, if any? May we never dabble into self-justification. Let our consciences bear witness either for or against us.”
- If there is a prayer that we should be praying every day, it is that God should bestow us with an understanding heart and wisdom to discern between good and bad.
- For our Lord and Master said, and I quote: “that is why many will miss translation because they do not have an understanding heart, they do not have the wisdom to discern between good and bad”.
- Turn with me again to the message:- BRIDAL ADDRESS FROM THE SON OF MAN PART 3. VOLUME 2. PAGE 117:27–29 – “Having showcased everything that is needed for us that believe in God to attain the very height God had already designated, the standard He set, everything pertaining to life and godliness.
- The duo – the couples show cased all. So, we have no excuse to give.
- A pattern has been set whether you like it or not. Now we have come to the end of all things, your duty is to make sure you use the remaining time that is left to amend your ways. Make sure you will be as He is.
- If you are a woman married with children or not, you must be as she (Queen of paradise) is. Her testimonies must be your testimonies. Anything contrary, you are out of the salvation plan. To the men, the same way.”
- With all the messages we have gone through so far, I strongly believe we can begin even now to evaluate ourselves once again.
- PAGE 120:37 – “In relation to the teachings you have received, the doctrines, the counsels, the instructions and every other thing, does your manifestation compare favourably with what you have been taught?”
- Are you satisfied with your performance so far? The answer is in all of us.
- PAGE 126:54-59 – “The truth of the matter is that those that said they are willing to go are not willing to pay the price. And the price is just very simple. Obedience to the messages you have received.
- What is the evidence that you have believed? What is the evidence that you have received the message if not by putting it into practice?
- Until the message and teachings we have received so far starts reflecting in our daily characters, we are still Hypocrites. Hypocrites, deceiving ourselves. We are still churchgoers.
- I can call ourselves mockers, as many as are in that category. But I pray we should rethink. We should rethink. What if today will be the last day you have to live here on earth?
- What if tomorrow will be the last day? Anything can take place anytime from now. Continue in your daily activities, in your normal daily human activities but conduct yourselves in the fear of the Lord.
- Your activities will not hinder you from being translated or being taken away by the Almighty God provided you are doing whatever you are doing with reverential fear of God as your guiding principle.
- On this note I say, remain blessed in Him eternally fellow saints of the most high God.
