THE SON OF MAN

INTRODUCTION

Remain blessed brethren, we thank God for bringing us here again, for I believe today is a month and a week that we saw ourselves last.

I know throughout last month many things transpired around the world, even in the midst of the bride, many things happened. So we glorify the name of the Lord, for not making us to be a partaker of such things.
I do not know why Nath’s family love coming late in everything we are doing, when we gather in the general assembly, they come late. In the meeting, they are late, in everything they are late. Well, I will say it is lack of coordination.
It is said that a war that is announced, does not take the cripple by surprise. I believe that I made the announcement ahead of time, that I will like us to gather by nine o’ clock, instead of ten o’clock (10:00 AM)
And equally I want our gathering to be permanent on every third Saturday of the month.
So, on every third Saturday of every month, we will gather. So that there will not be any confusion, for I received phone calls last week; asking if we were gathering that week.
On the third Saturday of every month, we will gather. So, have it at the back of your mind that you will not be calling me; ‘Pastor’ are we having fellowship today?
Like this month has five Saturdays. So if you see anyone that is five Saturdays, you will not be calling me Pastor, is it the fourth or third Saturday? It is now third Saturday of every month. Whether the Saturdays are five or four.
So, please let us put that at the back of our minds, so that we will do things orderly and quietly. Hallelujah.
So, we thank God for all he is doing. I equally sent an appeal as regards our contribution, which I know that some complied, but not to my expectation and some have not complied at all.
What we are having on ground is nothing to write home about. I cannot post it. If we posted eighty-thousand-naira last month, how do you expect me to post fifty thousand naira this time around. Are we going up or coming down?
I know that the society is very difficult, things are hard to come by. If you listened to the tape of yesterday very well, in the prayer line the Almighty God said that he has provided for all your children what they will eat. He said I have provided for your children all that they will eat, nobody is lacking anything except if you are not grateful.
And I thank God for yesterday, the way our own fellowship went. When I was listening to the tape, it was saying the same thing. It did not sound to me as a surprise, for whatever Almighty God used yesterday for the fellowship, is what we equally used for our own family fellowship.
And I believe that everybody, as long as you are connected and active in the faith, you should know that, that portion alone should form your topic, or whatever you are going to discuss.
If he said you should go and read this scripture, I know some of you have scriptures in your phones and you think, it is something you can open and quickly read. No, you read and study. Do not just read as if you are reading novel or newspaper, you read it and study it and understand what the spirit is trying to pass across.
For if you do not understand what the spirit is trying to pass across, you will misunderstand the whole thing altogether. You will misunderstand the mind of God why he asked us to consider it. Amen.
So, I want to discuss something that is pertinent, which is the contribution, before I will discuss with us whatever I have. The time is overdue for us to send the money across.
Let us think of it; what if whatever we are sending to Almighty God is what he is using to feed himself, is this how we will be doing it?
Let us assume that Almighty God is paying house rent, that he is not living in his own permanent house and we have charged ourselves, billed ourselves and we all agreed that we will do this thing, is it the way we are going to approach it?
If we give sincerely, with every amount of honesty of purpose. I believe in one way or the other, Almighty God must meet you at the point of your needs. It is not that I am not appreciative of that which you have done, I am.
When you read in the message bible where God asked us to read; Luke chapter 12 verse 1 through 59. There is a particular verse there downwards, it said; one that is given a great gift, great responsibility is expected of that person and one that is given lesser gift, lesser responsibility is expected of that person.
But I believe that a great responsibility has been committed into our hands. A great gift had been given unto us, so I believe that a great responsibility is what God is expecting from us.
God is watching on how we are handling these things, how we are taking it, if actually we are sincere with it, he will try us, he will prove us, to know how sincere we are. Amen.
So, please after today, next week the month will come to an end. We have rolled into another month, which we must pay for. Shall we continue in owing debt? Remember that in the month of May, I waved it off and said, let us open a new page.
Last month we contributed about eighty-seven thousand naira, we deposited eighty, remaining seven thousand. But this time around we have only realized forty-five thousand naira, excluding that seven thousand naira.
If we can make it up to that eighty thousand naira, I will be very much happy.
I mean let us maintain that tempo for now. As time continues and I believe that God will enlarge our coast with time, we will give greater, for our target is one hundred and twenty thousand naira. But we have not even gone up to hundred.
Bro Divine, I know that last month you did not give us anything. I decided to keep quiet, I did not call you because of what you are passing through.
Because you were just coming out from hospital where you went for surgery and I know that you spent some money. But till now I have not heard anything from you.
So, we thank God for what He is doing. Please if you are still owing us for last month, quickly redeem yourself. So that I will know how we will do it. It is very, very important for us to meet up with few things. Meeting up is just what we want, the name of the items is not important.
Please, I know that as long as it is a continuous thing, let us try as much as we can, to make budget for it. We cannot shift it to anybody, it is our responsibility and we must bear it whether we like it or not.
I know there are some civil servants that have not been paid. Assuming you are in the education sector, it could have been worse, if you are working for federal government especially for higher institution, whereby for some time now they have not been receiving salaries.
Both secondary school and primary school teachers, as long as you are under the university setup, no salary for you, they seized all their salaries.
And the worst set of civil servants, is the state. States are not even doing anything at all, especially Abia state. Abia state is the worst state I have ever been to.
I am telling you, it is the worst state I have ever been to. I was talking to somebody yesterday, he was telling me, he said “ah, that God should come and do something in Abia state”.
I said, I thought you people said it is God’s own state. He said they should change it from God’s own state. I now said what then would they change it to, will they change it to Satan’s own state?
You know, it is very, very pathetic, for this state. Nothing is moving in this state. I am telling you the honest truth, talk of water e no dey, talk of light e no dey, basic amenities e no dey, health e no dey. What then do you have? Okay, they have flyover. It is not good at all.
Well, no matter what is happening, we know that it is the word of God coming to pass, that government must increase our hardship, whether we like it or not, government would increase our hardship.
So we thank God for everything, let’s see what we can do and post something down by this coming week. It will be very good for us, so that our name can continue to be registered on a monthly basis. Amen.

For the time is coming, and now is the time when people will not tolerate, endure sound and wholesome instruction, wholesome doctrine but having ear itching for something that is pleasing to them and gratifying. They will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number they will choose to satisfy them and to foster their errors which they are holding. The spirit of the last days.

GOD IS NOT FOUND AMONG THOSE THAT PUT

HIM TO TEST PREACHED ON 10^THNOVEMBER, 2022 Pg. 36:36-37

THE SPIRIT OF THE LAST DAYS

So we thank God for what he has been doing, and from the message we received last Sunday, we can hear the voice where God was roaring, telling us where we are now. That the greatest war is on right now.

And this war that we are talking about, is not the war that is happening in Russia or Ukraine, between Russia and Ukraine, or the one that is happening globally, or the one that is happening in Nigeria, all those ones have come to stay.
But the greatest war, is spiritual warfare and this spiritual warfare is happening among the elects, to the extent that when you tell somebody the truth, what you will receive is counter reaction, nobody wants to hear the truth again.
It is the scriptures that is coming to pass. Is there anybody with Message bible here? Try and get your own copy, Almighty God has approved it. By God’s grace, before we meet again I will get my personal copy of “The message bible”.
Hallelujah. So, before Bro Nath and family came in, we have resolved that all our gatherings will be on the third Saturday of every month. On the third Saturday of every month, time; nine o’ clock.
But I do not know why you people came late, I sent it ahead of time so that everybody can see it. And Emma, if you are carrying your people, try to help them and equally help yourself. When we are gathering on normal days during our congregational worship, by eight I believe everybody is already there, even before eight everybody is already seated.
But now we have put it by nine o’ clock, you are still coming behind schedule. They say; early to bed is early to rise. When we come early we will dismiss early.
So, I do not want us to hold ourselves back beyond 12 o’ clock. Latest one o’ clock everybody will go back to their houses. Because I don’t know what I will be telling you people.
What we are coming here to do is just to refresh our minds, to put ourselves in remembrance. Anybody that wants to tell us that he does not know what The Son of Man is saying at this point we are, what is expected of you and your action, at this time of the day, where we are, it then means he should go and rest.
This is the time you should fight for your head. Remember; it is one thumbprint to one person. Your thumbprint can never be my own, my thumbprint can never be yours. And there is no way two persons can have one single thumbprint, everybody must have their own individual thumbprint.
That is why whenever you go to the bank, they would ask you to put your hand on the thumbprint scanner, the thing would scan you, what would come out is your picture and your details, the person will view it again to know whether you are the one in that form or you are a disclaimer.
Whatever we are doing today, whether BVN, NIN or MTN. They must take your thumbprint for security purpose.
And now, knowing fully well that the hour we are in is very precarious, you are the one to talk to yourself. Talk to yourself while I talk to myself. Do not think that somebody somewhere, would begin to look into your own problems. When you know that your problems belong to you. Amen.
There is something I want to read, 2^nd timothy chapter 3 from verse 1. The message bible. From your phone, read the living bible first.
You may as well know this too Timothy that in the last days it is going to be very difficult to be a Christian.
It is going to be what? Very, very difficult to be a child of God. Are we not in the last days? Everything is about to come to an end.
For all the warnings Allah, The Son of Man is passing across through the messages, is it not for us to know how to conduct ourselves at this dying minute.
And from all events, that is happening around us, we know fully well, that of a certainty we have come to the end of all things. And coming to the end of all things, it is very, very difficult for somebody to be called a child of God.
Why? Because the heart of human beings has steered up to continue to do evil. Tell them the truth they will not like to accept it. Hallelujah.
For people will love only themselves and their money.
People will do what? Love only themselves and their money. What is happening today? All these things are with us. Go back to the message; “The attitude of people at this end time”. It has been prophesied long time ago.
For people will love only themselves and their money, they will be proud and boastful, sneering at God.
Sneering at who? When he tells you the truth, you sneer at it and when you sneer at the truth, you are sneering at God.
Just like what they told Ezekiel, even Jeremiah. They said “Mr. Man, don’t tell us this thing again, we don’t want to hear. We have been hearing all these things all along, please keep it to yourself. Why bothering us with, “do not do this, do not do that”.
This is why many people are falling away. A lot of people have gone so cold; the zeal is no more there. We saw what happened throughout last week, even the beginning of this week if am not mistaken.
Many things that are flashing across our platform, the Bridal platform, is it a surprise of what we are seeing, if right from 1992 till today, people that were there from the beginning, are still having problems. What do you think we are going to say again?
We can now see that God is absolutely justified, for sending everybody back home. A day came when Apostle Kelechi was on the pulpit, he was talking and talking.
Almighty God stood up, he said; Apostle Kelechi stop there, don’t talk again for they have made up their minds not to believe.
They have made up their minds not to follow God again, stop there don’t waste your energy. Hold whatever you have, go and tell your family, for the people I am seeing here, they have made up their minds, they don’t want to hear anything again.
I hope you are recording this thing, who is recording? You are recording? Very good.
So, this is the time we should use our tongue to count our teeth. Where we are now, I don’t need to shout and cry on anybody’s head, no! If you are going in you know, if you are going to be trapped at the gate you know.
For what God said yesterday in the message; of all that have written confession, horrible confessions of how they have wronged God for so long. Almighty God said, which I know that it is the greatest life line.
I hope you are hearing my statement, I said it is the greatest life line. Seeing that they can come up and document all these their horrible confessions, not being ashamed of it. Sending it to God and God sending it to the entire world, for them to see, that He is bound to forgive them.
For he that confesseth his sin and forsake them shall be saved.
Reference: proverbs 28 verse 13 “he that covereth his sins shall not prosper but who so confesseth and forsaketh them shall live. ”KJV
Do not say you have confessed and you continue in your sin, God does not listen to it. Stop there, go to Ezekiel chapter 18 from verse 1.
Then the Lord’s message came to me again; why do people use this proverb about the land of Israel; the children are punished for their father’s sin. As I live says the Lord God, you will not use this proverb anymore.
For all souls are mine to judge. Fathers and sons alike, and my rule is this;
And my rule is this; this is God’s verdict.
It is for man’s own sins that he will die.
Why don’t you be that lighted candle in the dark place of your house? Why don’t you be that lighted candle that is known for good.
But if a man is just and does what is lawful and right and has not gone out to the mountains to sit before the idols of Israel and worship them and does not commit adultery.
Remember what we read yesterday; psalm 46 verse 10, Habakkuk chapter 2 verse 19 through 20. You see all these messages are talking about idol. Idol, Idol, idol.
I do not want to read one ancient manuscript that is with me; “The Apocalypse of Abraham’, how he narrated how his father Terah worshipped idol. I do not want to go there for if I begin to read it, it does not contain salvation. It is just to give you knowledge, but it does not contain salvation.
But if a man is just and does what is lawful and right and has not gone out to the mountains to sit before the idols of Israel and worship them and does not commit adultery.
Cut it short. Go to 23 through 24.
The one who sins is the one who dies, the son shall not be punished for his father’s sins nor the father for his son.
A righteous person will be rewarded for his own goodness and a wicked person for his wickedness.
If a wicked person turns away from all his sins
For if a wicked person turns away from all his sins, after your confessions.
And begin to obey my laws. And begin to obey the laws of God and do what is just and right. And do what is just and right in the sight of God. He shall live and not die.
Hallelujah. Bro Silas take note. Sit down, you sent confession right? I am saying you should take note.
When I received those two from Umuahia, I decided not to call anybody, I did not discuss with any flesh. I know it is good that they are coming out like this.
It is better you confess so that mercy can project, than to hold on to your own and it leads you to the white throne judgment.
When you confess you have been known for doing evil right from time and at this tail end, because you know you do not want to get destroyed, you do not want to enter hell fire, you thought about the path way you were heading to, you ran back to God pleading your case.
God would see your sincerity and pardon you and when he pardons you, do not go back to that your former estate again.
For when you go back to that your former estate, you are like a dog that has gone back to its vomit. All that have written, will have a change of estate which was provided yesterday.
Look at that of Bishop Chike, litany of them, look at that of Elder Abu of Nassarawa, litany. Look at Ben Okezue, litany, he has even been excommunicated with his entire family.
Look at his in-law excommunicated with his entire family. Look at the horrible report we received from Bro Nath here, is it from Bro Silas or every other person that has written.
Let me tell you, it is disheartening. We are telling God that from 1992 till date, he has been wasting his time. That is what it means, but if you can recognize your wrong now, for there is still little time, you can find your way back.
If a wicked person turns away from his sins and begins to obey my word.
And begin to do what? Obey my word, my instructions, my advice, take them serious.
And do what is just and right, he shall surely live and not die. All his past deeds will be forgotten.
All his misdeeds will be what? Erased. God will put it into the ocean of his forgetfulness.
And he shall live because of his own goodness
And he shall live because of his own goodness. You as an entity, your goodness does not affect your wife, your wife’s goodness does not affect you.
The evil that is coming from you will not affect your wife, except if she wants to pattern after you, then you will become her influencer, influencing her wrongly to do evil.
But one that is wise and understanding, should know that patterning after somebody to do evil is like committing suicide. That you have decided to die, that is what it means.
Do you think I like to see the wicked die?
Almighty God is asking us this question. Do you think I like to see the wicked die?
All these people that have sent their confessions and many are still there, they have not been made public and there are many that God will not make public. Why? Because of his close associate with them.
God is trying to give them a facelift for there are some that you will see, you will say “so this person is like this”, you will run away from that person.
But for you to still maintain that friendly association, God will read it and keep it close. He will not publish, but the one that is worth publishing, he will publish that one. But if you should ask me, I will say it is better God publish my sin so that I can be forgiven. Is there wisdom there?
It is better God publish my sin, for God said some their sins will be made known and they will be forgiven, while some their sins will be covered and it will follow them to the Judgment throne where God will not hear ‘I am sorry’.
Here He can still hear ‘I am sorry’, he can still hear your plea. For God is not like the gods of other nations that doesn’t hear ‘I am sorry’.
God does not want any soul to die or any soul to perish, because he knew what it took him to breathe his breath into the nostril of a man and he became a living soul. Amen.
Do you think I like to see the wicked die?
That is why God is asking us this question. Do you think I like to see the wicked die? Even if the whole world should recognize the Almighty God now and repent and come back to Him, He will surely save them. But he never came to save the whole world, he came to save few.
And among these few that he came to save, look at what we are doing. Is it a sign of appreciation that God came to us? By all these manifestations among us, can we really say that we appreciate Him?
God was telling us in one of our messages. He said; could it be I made a mistake making a stopover with these people? Why did God say so? Because of their character. They do not take his word seriously.

For people will be lovers of self and [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate [greedy] desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane. ³[They will be] without natural [human] affection (callous and inhuman), relentless (admitting of no truce or appeasement); [they will be] slanderers (false accusers, troublemakers), intemperate and loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce, haters of good.

2 Timothy 3:2-3

Amplified Version

LEARN A SKILL

I can see that two of your daughters are absent, conspicuously absent. I am not saying they should not go after money, or pursue money. If money will lead them to eternal life, let them go ahead.

Do you know what it took me to come back on Thursday? I have not been around for over a month, but because of this meeting, I rushed back, or do you think I don’t have something doing over there?
You are giving room to your children, let me tell you, you are giving them a lot of leverage to go the way they want.
Once they can cajole their mothers. I am saying, no matter how the man tries to stamp his authority in the house, if the daughters can corner their mother on one side and begin to talk to her. They will say “mummy, see, see, see”. The mother will carry the thing to the father that is trying to stand on his feet, the wife will now convince him the other way round, the father will now dance to their tune.
Well, God gave us a message; put your house in order for you are about to die. If you allow them to continue to pursue money, so they have something they can take to school, glory be to God, I am not against working.
But any work you will do, that will keep you away from fellowshipping God, that work is not from God. It is the devil that is giving you that work, for God can never plan a coup against himself.
Just like what we read from second timothy chapter3, that people will value their money more than God, value making money than worshiping God.
I am not saying they should not be of help to their family, if need be. But if you ask me, what is best for everybody where we are now, is not to work and make money, but rather empower yourself.
How do you empower yourself? Go and learn a skill, that is the message we received.
Look into the society, the sky is too wide for two birds to have head-on collision. You cannot tell me that there is no other thing you can do to establish yourself as a woman, as a man if not to go and have a skill.
Learn a hand work that will be profitable to you, not now but in the future. For the way things are going, take for instance those that are relying on salaries every month, how is their take home taking them home. Their take home pay, how effective is it. How durable is it, how constant is it?
For almost six months now, universities are under lock and key, nobody is even talking about resuming, they are not even saying they will resume tomorrow. When ASUU has even said that the strike will continue.
Within these six months you are having this leverage, if you are sincere to yourself, you could have learnt a skill because the highest period any good skill will take you is six months.
By so doing, when you come out, you can be using that skill to help yourself, when you go back to school.
I believe even in the school, Sister Comfort, is using her little skill that she learnt, making of peanuts, small chops and the rest of them to help herself.
You can as well learn all these things not looking for quick money. When you go to work and you come back, maybe tomorrow school resumes, will you tell me that money will not finish? The money will finish; you will go back to your Statuesque ante.
But when you learn a skill now, the skill is forever, until you enter into your grave. But all of you are looking for quick money even Sister Nath’s daughter, after advising her, she is still looking for quick money.
Nobody wants to bend down to learn a work. If you cannot read the signs of what is happening in the society, let me tell you, you will be marking time with the society, because the society is not helping anybody again, you are the one that will help yourself.
A brother told me, he said going to school for four years is a waste. That if he knew he could have used that four years to learn a skill, by now he would have been established.
If you are feeling cold, relocate yourself or you off that fan. So, if you are encouraging your children to go and work, get quick money so that they can use it to buy clothes for themselves, I am not against it, but check it very well, is that what they need?
You are only giving them their want and not their need. You are sponsoring coup against yourself. Instead of you helping them into finding something to do.
That person that they are working for, that person learnt that skill before establishing that company. If that person did not take his time to learn that skill, will he be able to establish that company, or wherever you are working?
Whether you are selling or you are buying, you must learn it. Somebody will now be working for you and you will be giving that person a stipend and you will be going home with the greater part of the money.
And when you are working for somebody, your movement is regimented, the clothes you wear is regimented, if you wear or buy any cloth that is above your salary, you will be queried, they will ask you “my friend, where are you getting this money from? I hope you are not defrauding this company?”
The truth needs to be told because, if I do not say it now kept quiet and say, you people should train your children the way you want, tomorrow I will be called over the phone, ‘look at what my daughter is doing, look at, my daughter, she is no longer listening to me.”
When you are the one that sponsored the coup against yourself, I was not there. Even when I told you here, that you should not bring your children matter to me again, because I have seen that they have made up their minds to do whatever they want. If you advise them and they don’t want to take it, let them be.
I am telling you the honest truth. If you go over to the message titled ‘Now is the hour and power of darkness, volume 1’. It was there that Almighty God charged all the university students.
He said do not think that government is going to help you tomorrow, that the highest thing you can do is to go and learn a handwork or a skill, even to learn how to sell crayfish, so that you can use it to help yourself. Far back 1996.
You will hear all these things, you will not take the word of God seriously, how do you think God will be seeing us? If it is possible to open somebody’s brain and put it, it would have been good.
Do not allow your children to put you in the state of dancing to their own tune; they must dance to your tune, except you are no longer their parents. Nothing is reigning now if not skill acquisition.
Look at this boy here; Chibuike, he learnt how to repair generator. He has the skill with him already even while he is still in secondary school.
Do you know what they are doing now in all the secondary schools? They are now trying to introduce entrepreneurship, in all the secondary schools curriculum, so that as they are coming out from secondary school, they already have a skill.
The world is tilting towards acquisition of skills. But you are titling towards making quick money. Think about it, when God went to Enugu; in the ‘English hotel,’ that was when he told all the students, he said no matter your certificate, try as much as you can to have a skill coupled with your certificate, it will give you a greater height tomorrow.
But your children don’t want to learn work, that is the problem. Only few of them have the mind to learn something, but majority of them need money.
When I went for my own computer training, I met The Son of Man, He said go and do it for it will help you in the nearest future. Is it not helping me today? It is all in your hands.
If you go back to the message, ‘Be diligent to protect your mindset, explained’ and most of these motivational messages, the solutions are all there. That was the message Almighty God handled while I was living in Enugu, it inspired me, I said no, in as much as I have the skills right from Lagos, I told myself I need to upgrade to be in tune with what the society needs.
I went to Him, I said what I wanted to do before was to learn how to repair phones, he cancelled it. I came back and thought about it and went back to Him. I said what of this one, He said it’s good.
Whatever you learn now you are learning it so that it will help you in the future. Look at Bro Nath here; he is learning work after he has retired. What if he learnt it when he was a civil servant, do you think he would not have established himself by now?
But because we are looking for quick money. It blocked our eyes of seeing what is ahead of us.
Look at Almighty God. He has been an example to us, immediately he was retrenched, what did he do? He enrolled into learning a skill. If Almighty God can learn a skill then who are you?
Who is doing that nonsense? Who is doing that thing? Is he calling? Bro Nath, do not be surprise one day I will excommunicate your son. I am enduring his excesses.
One day I will just come here and throw him out. And if I throw him out I will write his excommunication letter and give to The Son of Man.
For I have not seen any atom of seriousness in him, he does not know why we are here. He thought we are here for jamboree. We are here for something greater than that, if I want to party, I will be somewhere outside. Or do you think I love talking? I want somebody to be talking to me as well.
You know it is not good for your name to be in the news always, in short at all, not even always for evil and not for good. From time to time your name will be mentioned; from time to time your name will be mentioned. It is not the right thing to do.
So what am I saying? Please go back to your homes, go back to your houses, call your children together ask them what they will like to learn, within this short break, otherwise the future is bleak for them.
Do you think I like to see the wicked die asked the Lord, of course not! I only want him to turn from his wicked ways and live.
However if a righteous person turns to sinning and acts like any other sinner, will he be allowed to live? No, of course not.
Look at this one that is here beside me, (Talking to Chiemeli first daughter. The sister to Sister Nwatu) to me she is a visitor as far as I am concerned. Continue hearing whatever we are hearing, if you see anything good that you can learn, learn. Anything you cannot learn and is hard for you, leave it.
I do not know your age, but at least you have gotten to adolescent age, whereby you can decide what you want. The problem we are having with some of our children is that, ‘if I tell my parents this thing now, they will not pay my school fees again.’
When you take side with God, the way God will work in you and around you will marvel you. But when you take side with human being, human being can never wish you anything good; rather they are wishing you disaster.
I know when you do come to our fellowship then, how you do cry that you want to come to our fellowship. At the end of the day, because of the influence of your mother, she influenced you wrongly.
You abandoned your conviction, began to follow them, doing whatever they are doing even followed them in wearing trouser, which you said you hated from the beginning.
Do you think I have forgotten your story? It is nice; you are a young girl that will like to show that you belong. To a young man he will say, ‘Nna let me show the trend of things, I want to be like them.’

I do not believe a person is born a sinner, nobody is born a sinner. Sin is not inherited, sin is committed. He that commits sin is of the Devil for the Devil is the father of all sinners and he sinned from the very beginning. The holy fellow who was glorious, righteous and faithful; until iniquity was found in him.

GOD’S CHOSEN PLACE OF WORSHIP

Preached on 8^th july, 2012 PG. 25: 16

SHALL WE CONTINUE IN SIN?

However if a righteous person turns to sinning and acts like any other sinner, should he be allowed to live? No, of course not.

All his previous goodness will be forgotten, everything that he is being known for that is good is wiped away.
And he shall die for his sins. And he shall die for his sins, because it is a continuous something. You do not do it today and stop it tomorrow.
I have been justified today, tomorrow let me go and do another one. The justification of yesterday nah for yesterday, today is for today, tomorrow is for tomorrow. So if you want to continue to be justified, your character has to be good on a daily basis. So that is how you will continue till the end.
So you do not say that God commended me yesterday. Ah! I have arrived, let me just relax. You are fooling yourself. That is when you should even strive more.
Whenever God calls your name, commends you on anything, God said be very careful, it is not only you that heard it, even Satan has equally heard it and he will never allow you to remain like that.
Yet you will say the Lord isn’t being fair. Listen to me. That is verse what? Verse 25.
Stop there, I have read it before. So we thank God for what he is doing. So all that are writing, in time past you were known for evil, I believe by now you should be known for good. So that all the wrongs you were known for in time past, God will wipe them away.
Jesus Christ gave an illustration in the scripture, precisely in the book of Mark. He said, a young man that is full of sin, his sin is so mighty for he is owing debt that is so mighty.
And then he came to the master and began to plead, he said please oh, I know I am owing you, give me some time I will pay, with every amount of sincerity I will pay.
He said okay is that the problem you have? Okay, go you do not owe me again. He said what? Yes, you can cancel it, do not pay me again.
Then another one, that is owing a small amount of money, came to complain also, he said, oga, please, am owing you some amount of money, it is in my mind, I will pay. He said okay how much are you owing? He said is that all? Do not pay, I have dashed you, do not pay again.
Then God now asked, between this two, who will be most grateful? It is the one that has the bigger debt to pay that cannot pay. That is the one that will be more grateful to God, saying, God thank you for pardoning me. Thank you for casting away all my iniquities.
And do not go back again, because He has pardoned you, thinking that tomorrow He will still pardon you. You are taking the greatest risk.
He went further to give us another illustration; a man went to the temple and heard his fellow man praying at the temple, laying all his countless of woes, sins and the rest of them. Then the man concluded himself to be righteous. ‘So this man is not only bad, but worse.’ Thank God I am not like this person he said.
By Saying that you are not like this person, you have already justified yourself. At the end of the day, God justified that person that confessed his sin and forsook them and you that is justifying yourself was condemned.
That is why the book of Proverb told us, ‘if you are a bird and you see your fellow bird being roasted in the fire, do not laugh, because you are equally having feathers, it can be your turn tomorrow.”
Hallelujah! I love this silence; it is helping me very well. So please let us retrace our steps from all our evil ways, so that, it can be well with us.
Nobody will like his fellow man to die, but do not kill yourself. So at this juncture I will like to talk to Bro Nath expressly, for ever since he came back, I have not spoken to him. But I will like to talk to him expressly.
I remember the last time we gathered, advice was given on how you should conduct yourself, so that whatever that happened to your fellow bishop, will not happen to you. And that if you allow it, whatever that will happen to you, will be greater than what has happened to him.
I knew how you wept that day, your face was moody. I said well, to God be the glory. If truth comes to you and it does not do you hurt, know that it is not the real truth, for every truth that comes from God must hurt you, scandalize you, scatter you. That is not all, any truth that comes to you and begin to rub cosmetic on your face, that is not truth from God.
The report that Bishop Sam sent to the Almighty God, concerning your deed in your compound, when he called me and was telling me about it, I said does it mean that you don’t know our message concerning land?
Let me tell you, this place you are standing, this is not the first time this place has been established. This place has been here, since the foundation of the world. But what I want you to understand is that, many have been buried in this land.
Even all this houses, even this places that you are seeing trees, many have been buried there, in as much as houses are not there.
So there is no place you think you are standing, right from the foundation of the world, that human beings have not been buried there. Does that make that place not to be a land?
And so many are still going into the ground and it looks as if nothing entered inside there. People will come and dig the grave, after digging, they will carry you put inside, cover it, come back next year, after people must have marched on it, you will not know that there is anything called grave there.
You are fighting over land, land that would be there even till you die. This is the comprehensive of what I was thinking. Then, I said okay, No problem, I just kept quiet. I did not disturb anybody, I did not call anybody, I just kept quiet. There is only one question I asked myself; where is our reputation?
If our deeds outside cannot give us a good reputation, what have we believed? If you are saying you are in good terms with me, because I am your brother. And the other person is not your brother and you are not in good terms with him, it then means you have not done anything.
When you go to the message titled GOD’S NATURE IS OUR TICKET TO PARADISE, God said something there; to love somebody that loves you is natural. If I love you and you love me, it is a natural thing. But when you love somebody that does not love you, it is supernatural.
But you think when you love somebody that loves you, you have done the best, you have done nothing. All this salient points, which we should be using to guide ourselves, to guide our utterances, to guide our actions, is what we forget very easily.
Then another message came to my mind UNGUIDED MOMENT IN A MAN’S LIFE. When the word of God is not in you to guide you on every circumstance, on everything you do, unguided moments must surely come to you.
When you see situations like this, what will come to your mind, what has the word of God said concerning this thing, what did God say concerning this? If I see myself doing this and God hears about it, what will He say.
What is going to be my reason, after receiving teachings from Him, after how many years, what will He say? How is He going to see me?
Do you think it will take you one day to wriggle yourself out of those report? Do you know where God has placed you now? Or do you know how God is seeing you now? That is what we do not understand, that is what we do not care to understand.
If a child is doing something, if he is a good child, he will ask himself, if I do this thing now and my parents hear about it, what will be their actions towards me? I think that alone will restrain that child from any evil character.
We are very fond of beating our children, beating them like drum up and down, but have you beaten yourself? Have you beaten yourself to the extent of calling yourself back to order? The problem is that we do not think.
I do not want to read scriptures again, because if I continue reading scriptures, I do not think we will leave here. So let me go to my message. I just want to read few chapters from two different messages then I will call it a day.
I am reading from this message IS THE REVEALED CHRIST OF YOUR DAY PLEASED WITH YOU? In all your actions, check yourself very well, ask yourself this question; all along is the revealed Christ of your day pleased with you?
One of these days I am going to declare a love feast gathering, I say I am going to declare a “love feast” gathering in our midst. Whatever you have you bring, I will not tell you what I will do. And on that day am going to read just one message. It is already in my heart. I have seen that portion already.
And when we will have it, I will equally announce it, so that everybody will know. A love feast, it is not going to be a lengthy preaching. It might be one hour that I will be here standing.
After the whole thing you will have the feast of love among yourselves. But before the announcement will be made, let us continue. But I know in a short while, it will come. Hallelujah. Are you in support?
Your problem is that you think you know our characters but you do not know any. You think you know God, but you do not know Him. If you really know God, you would have understood that God is known for truth. That’s all! You will know God for love without hypocrisy. And this love without hypocrisy abhors evil. Any love that is not corrective is not from God. Does it have any other interpretation? What is the essence of the correction? It is so that nothing will tamper with our relationship with God and with one another.

THE SON OF MAN

GO BACK TO YOUR FIRST LOVE Setting The Records Of Nsukka Household Straight Preached ON Thursday 23^rd March, 2023 PG 100:52-53

LOVE ACCOMODATES EVERYTHING BUT EVIL

So please follow me to this message IS THE REVEALED CHRIST OF YOUR DAY PLEASED WITH YOU? Part 1, Friday edition, introduction, preached on Friday evening 15^th April 2022 at the voice of God’s studio, Bridal lodge Nsugbe, Anambra state Nigeria. By Apostle Peter Odoemena, The Son of Man, The Inexhaustible Fountain. Transcribed by Bro Collins Elechi, Household of God Nassarawa. Chapter 3.

The title says; Love accommodates everything but evil. Love accommodates everything but evil. The secret of Rapture volume 1 verse 18 through 26. I said look at the pyramid and look at the head stone.
The head stone is what will pull all of us to Him. You may have the gift of healing, speaking in tongues, spirit of hospitality, you can do anything and can even give yourself to be killed because of this gospel.
But if this genuine love of God is not found in you, it is useless nonsense.
I will jump the scriptures, I am not going to read the scriptures.
WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU CANNOT CONDESCEND WITH MEN OF LOW ESTATE. WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT THERE IS NOT HUMILITY IN YOU.
Without the holy spirit there is no humility in you. Without the holy spirit, you cannot condescend with men of low estate. One that is not even up to your caliber. One that is lower than you.
You cannot even appreciate someone higher than you, or raising him above you. Why? Because he is hindering you from moving forward.
WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU CANNOT RENDER SERVICES TO ONE ANOTHER WITHOUT GRUDGING, WITHOUT MURMURING AND WITHOUT COMLAINING. WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU CANNOT ESTEEM OTHERS HIGHER THAN YOURSELF.
You esteem anybody higher than yourself, why, because of your humility. Can’t you see The Son of Man, when he sees you, look at the way he will raise you.
I mean, he will raise you to a height that you will be asking yourself; do I really belong to this height? The way he will introduce you to somebody, you yourself will shiver.
How many of us can do it? You see where we are having problems? Majority of us are having problems, why? Because of their ego, I want to be this, I want to be that.
That land you were disputing about, if you die tomorrow won’t that land be there? Will you go with it? But the deed have been written against you and that deed is following you.
Do you see why we should check our actions from time to time? He Went back to fight again, just because we did not do him anything.
IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT WILL TAKE AWAY SELFISHNESS AND SELF PRIDE.
It is what? The Holy Spirit that will take away selfishness and what? Self-pride. Then what if the holy spirit is not there, you behave anyhow, you behave unrighteously.
I mean what I am saying. That is why the Holy spirit is the token. It is your transporter to this particular pyramid. Look at the pyramid here, this capstone. The only thing that will take you there.
You cannot be ushered in there without the Holy Spirit. You must pass this water of separation. Also, I told you in that message that the higher you go, the narrower it becomes.
Look at the pyramid very well, look at this side, the higher you go, the narrower it becomes and it became narrowest at the peak. Then now tell me, how many are going to be accommodated here. It is a small triangle; how many are going to be accommodated here?
IT IS NARROWEST AT THE PEAK. YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS LOVE CAN ONLY ACCOMMODATE ONLY FEW. ONLY VERY FEW CAN HAVE GOD’S LOVE.
And God’s love does not have a barrier. It cuts across every barrier, not only those in this faith, even those outside the faith. God said and even the scripture confirmed it, that as long as it lieth in your hands, live peaceably with all men, especially one that is in like precious faith with you.
It is in your hands to live in peace with heathens, it is in your hands to make peace with heathens. Why allowing your name to be mentioned for evil before heathens?
If you will never take even me into cognizance, let us forget about God, The Son of Man is too far, what if me, or your sisters or brothers will come to your house.
With these characters you are manifesting, if they see me coming to your house, they will say “it is his people, that is how they behave. Invariably, they have used the way you are behaving to categorize me.
They will say ‘that is how they used to do in their church, I know the people, I used to see them together, all of them behave the same way.’ Why? What caused it? Your personal lifestyle, your behaviour, your character.
To the extent that, the woman was even shouting and shouting saying “he said he is a bishop”. Let me tell you, if you know the way I felt. I said well, God saved you that I was not around, that I am not the one that was called.
That blasphemy is certainly in the highest order. How can you strangle somebody’s wife even in his absence?
A man that stretches his hand to strike another man’s wife, shows that he beats his own wife. Any woman that her mouth is very sharp, to another woman’s husband, the same way her mouth is sharp to her own husband.
Do not tell me that I did it to another person’s wife, I cannot do it to my wife, it is a lie.
I call character perfume. Your character is your perfume, anywhere it goes, it will smell, whether for good or for evil. Your character is your body odour.
Let me come down, let me just rush it. Because I cannot continue talking from here, I am looking at my time.
Well, I thank God for those that were in the house, your wife and your children that came to the rescue of that woman, if not, another story would have been told. What if the woman decides to tell the husband? Do you want to tell me that, if the woman’s husband was around, he will keep quiet?
Fighting another man’s wife, is like fighting the man himself, because the two have become one. So, if you slap another man’s wife, you are equally slapping the man and do you think that the man is a coward that he will not do anything?
But, let me ask. You know whatever you are doing, you need to consider yourself and see how you will feel, if it is you that it happened to. What if it was somebody that held your wife on the throat, on the neck, trying to strangle her to death? If you hear it will you be happy? Will you be happy?
I sat down and thought about the whole thing, in whatever we do, we should try as much as possible to check the future consequence. In one of the ancient manuscripts that is with me. The title is, “Unto you I grant Economy of life”. It wrote about, future consequences on every action you take. Before you take any action, think about the future consequence. Whether it will be for good or for evil.
And God has equally told us in new year message 2019; that in everything you are doing check the future consequences. Do not do things because you think you have the power to do them.
THIS GOD’S LOVE IS WHERE HE IS LOOKING AT YOU. LOVE WITHOUT HYPOCRISY. LOVE THAT IS CORRECTIVE. LOVE THAT HATES EVIL. THIS LOVE ACCOMODATES EVERYTHING BUT EVIL.
THIS LOVE REBUKES EVIL. THIS LOVE DOES NOT HIDE HIS FEELINGS TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER.
Why don’t you prefer love than bringing disgrace? For you to fight somebody, it shows that you are out of the way of truth.
THIS LOVE DOES NOT GOSSIP. IT DOES NOT BLACKMAIL, THIS LOVE IS PURE, IMMACULATE AND WHITER THAN SNOW. THAT IS HOW YOUR HEART SHOULD BE BEFORE ALL MEN. AMEN.
Before all men. All men is all men not plus, not minus. Whether it is a heathen or not a heathen. Whether you are a saint or not a saint, all men is all men.
You see why God has been talking and shouting? God is of a purer eye than to behold iniquity. When God is talking to us, His love has been made manifest, for He does not want any to perish. He does not want any to die, but man wants to perish. Man wants to die. Why do you want to die?
That is why God said, “THUS SAITH THE LORD. PUT YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER, FOR YOU ARE ABOUT TO DIE.
THE SECRET OF RAPTURE volume 1; chapter 3 verse 9 through 21. In Antioch, the bible said that they saw them moving. They were not talking and people studied their lives and said, “Behold these people are like Christ.”
Did they talk? They never opened their mouth even to say Jesus is God Almighty. What they saw in them is the way they harnessed their lives, their behaviour. And people that know Christ before he was crucified, said ‘these people are behaving like Christ.
God said it is better for people to rebuke you or to castigate you of your message, than to tell you that your character is bad.
For whatever manifestation that is coming from you, is emanating from what you believe. Let them say your character is good, but your message is bad, but when your character is bad, it has rendered everything useless.
Do you know it is an offence for a soldier to slap a woman? Do you know that it is a big offence, for a military man to slap a woman? It is the biggest offence. He must be court-martialed.
And when you say you are a soldier of Christ and you are found in this ungodly behaviour, what do you think will be done to you? Amen.
They were not talking and people studied their lives and said, “Behold these people are like Christ.”
When they saw people that behaved like Him, they immediately identified them. We have come to the point where people can identify us and say, “Really, they are like their leader.” People that know our Leader and our instructor, they know Him. They know His manner of life. They know his doctrine.
Can they see somebody that says that He had believed Him today and say, in short, without anybody telling me, you are disciplined. You behave like Him? Look at the voice.
Did all the people that are testifying about Mummy come for investigation here?
Mummy is in the grave, but her goodwill is still following her even till tomorrow.
Did they go to Nsugbe for investigation, ‘daddy please tell us how mummy lived’. Or did they go to the children, ‘please tell us how your mother behaved. Even till today, people are still commending the lifestyle of mummy.
Esther, are you okay? You are not okay. Are you well? you are not well. Are you feeling fine? Why are you sleeping? I hope you are strong? Are you strong? You are not really strong.

The greatest testimony is the testimony of forgiveness, for love cannot thrive if there is no forgiveness.

-THE SON OF MAN-

Seven steps of realizing the promises of God henceforth. Preached on 6^th January, 2008 to 3^rd February, 2008 pg. 50: 65

WHAT IS YOUR TESTIMONY?

(1)

I am not talking to Bro Nath and family alone, I am talking to everybody. I am equally included. What is your testimony outside? How do people see you?

Hallelujah. Will I finish this message? I want us to leave here by twelve thirty. Let us close by twelve thirty, at worst to one, let us dismiss.
A line of words is enough for the wise, but a compendium, a compilation of words, does not make sense to a fool.
Hallelujah! Please, I want you to be happy. Be happy for God is happy with his people. But correct all your wrongdoings, correct all your evil doings.
I tell you, I was not happy, when I was receiving all these things from Umuahia household, I checked myself again. I then asked myself, are you doing the right work? Are you doing the right thing?
But my conscience never condemned me. It is the people that have decided to go the way they want.
Those were all the people that had encounter with her in town, in the school, in the office and everywhere including the market places.
Even within the neighbourhood, those that knew her and her behaviour. We have it in book form. I saw it here, see it here. We call it ‘book of commendations.’
There is nothing you will read from beginning of this book to the end, if not her good qualities. Nobody has ever pointed an accusing finger at her and said look at what mummy did.
Their testimonies were according to all that they learnt from her and the kind of personality she was. This is the way you also must move, but you do not realize that the legs that move about swiftly but craftily, is very well observed by the eyes that look surreptitiously?
The legs that move about swiftly but craftily, is very well observed by the eyes that look surreptitiously. If you are behaving badly, people are there watching you, they are taking note.
If all your children are behaving badly and somebody is coming to marry them, be careful that somebody that is skeptical and reasonable enough will not come for investigation.
If he comes to you, you may be saying good around your child. But be very careful that the person will not meet somebody outside, that does not cover iniquity, ‘do you know the character of this person? How do you know him?’
The person will now start from genesis to revelation, exposing the person. Then the person will now say ‘thank you very much. But this is how far I can go with you, I am no more interested.’
What caused it? The way you behave among the people, for they are watching you. If you are doing things anyhow, thinking that nobody is seeing you, God is seeing you. The eyes of God runneth to and fro.
Now that you are alive, testimonies are being shared concerning you. And when you die, testimonies will still be shared concerning you because you are the same you.
I am trying to bring back something, that even when we were at Amazu oil, we were being accused that our Pastor has put his saliva into our mouth, that we all patterned after our pastor.
That is why End-time message could not penetrate, for all the families they secretly visited, they were speaking the same thing.
When they went to the pastor, the pastor will talk to them seriously on that matter, they will visit another person thinking they will convince the person.
Finally, when they get there, the same person without consultation will start from the very beginning and then they will be repelled. There, they were accusing us that we are one, at the beginning of the Ministry that we are one. Can it be like that today?
Almighty God said, Never! Everyone is taking his own path. Everybody is now an expert.
When everybody is no more interested in what God is saying. When many do not even listen to the audio messages God is sending to us.
Do they even go to fellowship? They do not use to talk about that one again.
How can our characters be the same? IT IS ONLY BUT A FEW THAT ARE STILL MARCHING ON BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER.
Only but a few! Mummy said it in Abuja that you should not look at others, for they have all fallen away from the faith of THE SON OF MAN, and that they have taken to the ways of the world.
She said that it is only a few that are still following and walking behind THE SON OF MAN. Look at your father. Embrace and hold unto Him. Follow Him, for all others have fallen away. Have you not seen what is happening with your own eyes?
Even from all these confessions we are receiving, is it not a sign of falling away from Christ.
It is only but a few that are still marching on by God’s enabling power. These are the people that God has come to harvest.
I am trying to bring out your old record. Moreover, it was this your record that made me to abide in your midst. It was this your record that caused me to settle down.
However, today we continue to grow in number every day, but as we grow in number, we continue to stray away from the original foundation.
As we continue to grow in number, so also we are straying away from the original foundation. Is it a good testimony?
I will cut it short, so that I can make way for bishop Mwantu to come. You all have this message, is it not true? You will do well to go back to your own. Okay, let me continue. Once It gets to my time I will come down.
I hope you are happy with me? Be happy with me because if I hate you, I will not do all these things, it is love that is being made manifest. I do not want anybody to die neither do I want to die. But it is now in your hands, to place yourself where you belong.
However, today we continue to grow in number every day, but as we grow in number, we continue to stray away from the original foundation.
We continue losing sight from where we started. We continue to spoil our old record, until today that we have no record again.
Then ask yourself this pertinent question, what is your record before The Son of Man?’ Or do you think The Son of Man is not taking records? He is swift in taking records. He is a master in taking records.
When you know that God is swift in taking records, what should be your attitude at a time like this? Should you continue to misbehave? Why don’t you walk in between the line?
Midway message, is it not what we received? You do not go to the extreme right; you do not go to the extreme left. You do things moderately. But why is it, that we always want ourselves to be wrong always.
Like I always ask; is there anybody that have been given award for wrong doings? You know, the question looks so simple, but if you look at it very well it makes sense.
Is there anybody that has been given award for behaving wrongly? We have been hearing about ‘Nobel laurel’, people have been winning trophy for good things, but have you seen where somebody who was given trophy for wrong doing?
Almighty God told us in one of the messages. He said, the reason why evil has thrived up till this day, is because anybody that touches it, will drop it. This one will come, touch evil and drop it, another one will touch evil and drop it, for that reason, evil has piled to this height.
For nobody will like to touch evil and begin to romance with it. But you see some people, they love evil so much, that in short, they soak themselves in evil ways of life.
We are nothing. We are now rotten and smelling. Every family is now rotten, every family is now corrupt. There is corruption in every home. We have lost the battle.
Are you hearing the message? This is God talking, we have lost the battle. Somebody who started very well, now is ending very badly.
Is it a good testimony? You better trace yourself back, trace your record back and find out the way you started. Find out the way you started, is it still like that today? If it is not like that today, what caused it?
Somebody who started very well, now is ending very badly. What a miserable record. May God forbid! May God forbid!
A wise fellow says, “let the end of my life be far better than my beginning.” But today, what we are seeing are people who pray that the end of their life will be worse than their beginning.
You see why so many people have now seen where they are heading to. They are now rushing back to God, because they want their ending to be far better than their beginning.
How can you be an athlete, your pick up start is very good and your ending point is very bad. Will you win any laurel, will you win any trophy?
Hence, they are growing in age. And the more they grow in age, the more evil they are becoming. So, adolescence now means living in evil.
That is what we are now seeing. “I am no longer a child.” What makes you an adult is now evil conduct.
‘Don’t talk to me, am I a child? What are you trying to tell…me, I know what I am doing, my senses are correct.” Okay, your senses are correct, then why are you behaving that way. One that his senses are correct, does he behave badly? Does she behave badly? Then why are you behaving badly? Since you claim that your senses are correct.
In other words, you know what you are doing. You are doing it in iniquity. Just like one that told the parents to exclude him out of the faith. Stop disturbing me with this your religion, I am no more interested. If I go to hell, will you follow me to hell?’
That one has already taken decision to go to hell and it has made the work very easy for Almighty God. He will set him aside.
You know if you are a student. God said do not write off point, for a student does not write off point, for when you write off point, you have made it very easy, for the lecturer to mark you down.
Once he begins to read it, he will say this one is a useless student, he will just draw biro across and drop the book by his side. He will not waste his time reading at all.
The first two lines he will read concerning what you have documented, he will drop it by the side.
The same way all our scripts are in the hand of God. What did you write in your script? Your script is your character. Your script is your character.
What have you written all these years? Will God rule it across, or is it the type he will read line by line, to know whether actually, what you documented is the right thing.
“I am no longer a child.” What makes you an adult is now evil conduct. What a miserable condition. We should pray against it.
How are the mighty fallen? Tell it not in Gad. Publish it not on the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice. Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph over us.
Heathens are now rejoicing over us that we have lost the battle.
These are the people we were condemning that, ‘they do not have God, thus they are going to hell’. now, where are you heading to?
At the end of the day, we will become the same thing with those that know not God. Is it not an abomination!

If there is bad testimony following you before you entered into Christ, good testimony will start.

-THE SON OF MAN-

Are you sure you are still in the ark of salvation: Warning from the throne of grace. Preached on 9^th November, 2011 pg. 69:10

WHAT IS YOUR TESTIMONY?

(2)

At times, when I sit down alone in my chair to meditate and cast my mind back, tears will start coming from my eyes. I will say; “have I not made a mistake of making a stopover with these people?”

HOWEVER, I THANK GOD I STIILL HAVE FEW REMAINING THAT ARE CALLED BY MY NAME. Amen!!!
Are you in the few? Are you in the number that are called by the name of God? Are you in the remnant? God spoke concerning Israel that they shall be like the sands on the sea shore, only but a remnant shall be saved.
Only a hand- picked minority shall be saved. Are you in that number that will be saved by the election of grace? Are you in that hand-picked minority?
Look at God regretting making a stopover. Just like I am here, if I start regretting today why I brought these type of people and kept them in my home; a people that keeps me talking; a people that do not take the word of God seriously. Do you not know that it is not good?
None of God’s children are in his house again. And ever since they had been in The Son of Man’s house, you have never heard The Son of Man complaining, that any of his children is giving him headache.
Now, it is your own children, that he has brought to his house, to see if he can help them, but every now and then, The Lord is talking. Why? Because of bad upbringing, because of bad behavior.
The man and the woman did not take their time to bring up their children in a Godly way. When the Scriptures told us that, we should bring up a child in the way he should go, by the time he will grow up, he will not depart from it. But they neglected that action.
Reference: train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. (proverbs 22:6)
God gave us another message, action time; training of children, they neglected it and continued doing their own thing. At the end of the day, their children become renegades.
Look at the story that is coming from them, these are people that are staying in The Son of Man’s house and he is trying to groom them, to see if they can change.
Look at Promise; can you talk about promise again? His story is forgotten and forgotten for good. What of Chiemelie, can you talk about Chiemelie today?
There is another one in the house that God is still calling Chiemelie. Why because he is behaving like Chiemelie. Yes now, if you behave like Judas you will be called Judas. His name is Bright. But God is calling him Chiemelie.
Okay, his name is also Chiemelie. So Chiemelie now jammed Chiemelie, no problem.
So, we now see the story that is coming out from there. All of them are nothing but Aba brought-up. The other one is Isiala-Ngwa brought-up. Have you ever seen an Isiala-Ngwa person that is known for good things? Don’t let me go that area, allow the sleeping dog to lie.
Is your mother not from Isiala-Ngwa? Is she behaving well? you are a liar. You will defend your mother now, because she is your mother, will you sell your mother outside.
Okay you want to tell me now that you behave well. you, behave well. time shall tell.
However, I thank God I still have few remaining that I call by my Name who are trying every day to pattern after me.
They are doing what? They are trying every day, for it is a struggle. God said the road is narrow. The road to paradise is very narrow, but you struggle your way into it.
It is a struggle, you don’t laugh and say, paradise here I come; no. You must struggle your way; you have a price to pay. You don’t enter paradise anyhow. No.
You must struggle for you to enter, because it will deny you so many things, so many pleasures of life, it will deny you.
That does not mean you will not enjoy oh. But if you want to enjoy like the world, rule it out.
Before I come down, give me The message bible, Romans chapter 12 verse 1 through 19. Hold it, let me continue to read a little more.
However, I thank God I still have few remaining that I call by my Name who are trying every day to pattern after me.
Who are trying every day to pattern after THE SON OF MAN. God said that if He sees a little effort; if He sees anybody making sincere effort, He (God) will surely give such a fellow a helping hand.
If God sees that, you are trying to come out from your wrong doings, from your wrong ways, from your wrong character sincerely, without any iota of hypocrisy, God must surely give you a helping hand.
For he has told us, he said “I do not like to see a sinner die, I want all of them to repent and come back to Me”, why then do you want to die?
But when you are not making any effort at all, instead you are moving from bad to worse, will God give you a helping hand? Stand up there! I know you are not sleeping. Stand up!
God is talking to Bright as at that time.
I am trying to say something now. We have seen that the bible said that
Christ is the author and finisher of our faith, our instructor and leader. The bible said, “look up to Christ the author and finisher of our faith.”
IF ANY MAN SAYS HE IS A DISCIPLE AND HE CANNOT PATTERN AFTER HIM, HE IS DECIEVING HIMSELF. HE CANNOT FIT IN. HE IS DISAPPROVED ON TRIAL. That is pure truth.
IN OTHER WORDS, GOD IS EXPECTING EVERYBODY THAT IS COMING TO SHOW ONLY BUT ONE CHARACTER.
Your character in your house, should be my character in my house, should be the character of every other person in their houses. But when your own is speaking otherwise. I will look at my own and say, ‘my own is not like that.’ Then I will call you to order. I will say, ‘my friend, what is your problem?
Are we not receiving the same message? Are we not receiving the same doctrine? Why is your character different? It is a sure sign of rejection of the message you have received.
Well, any moment from now I will decide on Mensah’s case. I have been giving him a long rope to see if he can change. I had a dream concerning him last night, it is not a good dream.
I know that he has been tied down by a heathen woman, in short he tied himself down, for that was the position I saw him. It is now in his hands, if he is actually from God. I have given him this some time from my heart.
If actually he is from God, let God give him a helping hand to run back. That is the only sign I put, but since I did not see him within that period, I think I will take my stand, for there is nothing we are doing that he participates.
We had meeting online, he never participated. We gave all our contributions, he never participated. He is telling us that he is tired. Hallelujah!
All of us must have one character, whether we like it or not. Chika have you heard it? Put your name there. I put my name there, as you equally put your name there. Chika is struggling for his own, you are equally struggling for your own.
You can say “God is talking to Chika like this? Chika has been living in The Son of Man’s house, he is bad oh, are you good?
Chika have you heard it now? So, when I was warning you before the elders, can you now see where I was pointing you to? You are not helping me and you are not helping yourself.
And you wanted to give your defense because you can hardly sit down and know, where I am coming from and so that you will know what I am pointing at. Your eyes are focused on material things. Material things!
Spiritual things, you cannot understand. Spiritual language you cannot understand. When we talk about bread, your eyes will be on Garri and Semovita. You will not know that the bread we are talking about is the word of God; the bread of life.
Even some of you here, when we talk about bread of life, you will think it is this normal bread we eat. That was how Jesus told them in John chapter 6, unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you can never have eternal life in me.
Jesus is the Shew bread that they must eat from. So we are not talking about natural bread, we are talking about the life of God, we are talking about the character of God, God said we should pattern after him in all things.
if the doctrine is one. The faith is one. Baptism is one. The Lord is one, Paradise is one. CHARACTER MUST BE ONE.
After all, character is your doctrine reflected, for your doctrine reflects in your character. No man can live higher than his doctrine. If I have given you doctrine after holiness, surely it must reflect in your character.
If in this faith, we teach you how to fight; have I landed? If in this faith, we teach you how to fight.
If it is our doctrine that we can fight or go to court or make trouble with anybody or even go to the police, surely, it will be reflecting in your character.
In everything I have said; this is where I have landed. Check the character you are manifesting in your house, is it our message? Is it the doctrine you received? Is it the teaching you received?
So if in this faith we teach you how to fight, definitely you must be fighting outside. In short I will be the number one, because the pastor must be the first.
But you have not heard me fighting with anybody, even on the street, you have not heard me quarrelling with anybody, rather I allow peace to reign, whatever you want to do, do.
But the only thing I know, is let me do the right thing, so that problem will not come from me. Give me that Romans chapter 12 verse 1 and 2; the message bible.
So here’s what I want you to do, here is what I want you to do, God helping you: God helping me and you. According to Romans 2 verse 2 (Philippians 2:13); for it is God that has given us a helping hand even to obey Him
Take your everyday, ordinary life, take your everyday, ordinary life, your sleeping, as you are what? You are sleeping. eating, as you are eating, going to work, even going to work,
And walking around life, even as you are walking around life, going about your yard, everywhere you find yourself.
And place it before God as an offering. Do what? Place it before God as an offering. Say God please direct my ways, in everything I do in my duties, in my business, wherever I find myself please direct my ways.
Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Embracing what God does for you is the best you can do for Him. Don’t become so well- adjusted to your culture don’t become so well adjusted to your own culture.
We have our own culture; you can equally have your own culture. Your own culture can be, “this is how my people” do it, this is how our people do it. That is not what the Bride of Christ culture is. Our own culture is far, far more away from whatever they do in the world.
That fit into it without even thinking. You fit into it, even what you are doing, you can’t even be reasoning it; how it will be at the end.
If I go to Psalms 1, from verse 1 to the end, I don’t think I will read it, why should you place yourself among the heathens.
There is no child of God that sits where the scoffers sit, he runs away from there. Do not allow your character, your daily life to do what, to contradict the message you have received.
Instead, fix your attention on God. Instead do what? Fix your attention, let us fix our attention on what God is doing for us. For God has come to save us, why do you want to destroy yourself?
You’ll be changed from the inside out.
You will be changed from the inside out, for when you embrace God, let me tell you, a change must take place in you. People may be seeing you as your normal self, but a great change has taken place in you. God has done a good work in you.
For when you behave, when people see the way you are behaving, they will say ‘ah, ah this person is now a changed person.’ But you are still carrying the same human flesh.
Your face is still there, the way you are walking is still the same way, the way you are talking is still the same way, but something greater has taken place in your life.
Readily recognize what he wants from you, don’t we recognize what God wants from us? GOD’S NATURE IS OUR ONLY TICKET TO PARADISE.
And quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity. God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
Hallelujah. On this note I say thank you and remain blessed.

You do not want people to give bad testimony about your life; because of this, you obey God’s Word. The next thing is that it will bear fruits of right living, fruits of peace, so that in the end you will inherit eternal life.

-THE SON OF MAN-

THE DANGER OF OVER-PAMPERING CHILDREN AND DESPISE NOT THE CHASTENING OF THE LORD PG 20:37

testimonies

But before we go, let me call Elder Akparanta for his testimony and Song to the glory of God.

Elder Akparanta: children of God remain blessed. We give glory to God. About this time two weeks ago or so, I left for Abuja. Virtually all of us know the danger that inhibits everywhere, all over the world.
We are seeing Nigeria’s own, so nobody will tell us about it. Before we left, the story abounds that Lokoja road is always taken over by bandits.
So, when I was interacting with my colleagues that were also supposed to go for the training, most of them were feeling very reluctant to go until when they heard, it was compulsory.
So, quite a good number of them had to go by air, even when they went to book and saw the prices were very high.
From Owerri to Abuja; fifty thousand. From Asaba to Abuja; fifty-nine thousand. That is going alone. So, I was also wondering how to go since I was not having such amount of money. Eventually when I called the Lord, he said I should go.
If he says I should not go it means that there is danger there. But if he said I should go it means the road is free.
So, when majority of them went by air and got there, and it was on Sunday they said we should arrive. So, I said ‘how can I travel on Sunday when I should be worshiping God then. So I went on Saturday instead.
I went and stayed with Pastor Mike of Nassarawa Household. So, when I stayed with the pastor, on Sunday we had fellowship. Just like our pastor is telling us; that thing that you will be doing that will be greater than God, Are you sure that God approves of that thing?
So, on Sunday while we were having fellowship, phone calls were coming. When I checked my phone; they were asking, where are you? We have assembled for checking into our hotel rooms, they are calling your name. I told them I am in fellowship.
Eventually after fellowship, I got there in the evening and they had issued the whole accommodations. When I went and met them they said ‘we have been calling your name and there is no more accommodation for you.
And the accommodation becomes the money, because you know the people of the world; if they give money to them to give to people, they will look for a way of manipulating the money.
So instead of giving us the money, they went and arranged with a five star hotel, so that they will beat the price down for them, that is what they did.
But I thank the Lord alone who makes the way. Eventually the Commissioner of Police, the head of Police Education Directorate, came and said, ‘no as long as I am among them, they must look for a place for me.’
So, the hotel managers, everybody, was running up and down and they found accommodation for me. And my accommodation became even the best.
So, I give God the glory, when coming down again I had to send text to the Lord, thanking Him for granting me success in the training. And also that I was coming back. so quite a good number of my colleagues came back by air.
They went there, they booked the flight, fifty nine thousand, but I came by road and God granted me journey mercies.
So, I give glory to God. But the point is that when I came back, a new deputy commissioner of police has been transferred down here, he is from Plateau state.
So, we fixed the time we would go and see Him. The SP who is the education officer called me. So, we went and saw him and greeted him. While I was returning home, I decided to go to Federal Medical Center, because I was having toothache and it was paining me seriously.
So, I boarded keke from Bende road, to FMC. Immediately I came out from the keke, look at shooting. Immediately I looked back, I saw people carrying gun and shooting with impunity, moving on the street.
Before I know what was happening, bullet has hit somebody on the neck, before you know again, bullet has hit somebody on the head. I bent down. Before you know again, bullet has hit somebody else.
So, it was when I got to the hospital, that I knew what was happening. People were running into the hospital, everybody running into the hospital. They were saying; so these people have remembered Umuahia today.
They said they robbed UBA bank.
Bro Silas: it is Ohia they robbed, while coming back police intercepted them, they now had clash and people thought they were robbing UBA. They never entered UBA.
The police blocked their vehicle, they had to change vehicle, collected motor from another woman and zoomed off.
Elder Akparanta: So, God saved my life. Because those people that bullets were hitting, were near me. The bullets were just hitting people randomly. For one person, it was on the neck, one on the stomach, one on the head. And the one bullet hit on the head died instantly.
So, I got to the hospital and saw the doctor and went back home. I give glory to God. If not God that is guarding us, when he is doing all these things for us, it will look so simple.
We really praise God, all of us that are in Christ we should constantly continue to praise God.
Song: Christ is the answer to our problems. Christ is the answer to all we need. Saviour, redeemer, thy great physician, oh how I love Him. He is all we need. Amen!
Bro Silas: Pastor Sir, let me say this. Please in case you hear firing anytime, do not run. If you run, bullet will pick you. Just lie down wherever you are. If you want to go away from the environment, you can roll.
While you are lying down you roll away from that environment but don’t run. Once you run, bullet will pick you from any angle.
So, we thank God for the testimony. You know it is God that protects the saints. In short, it will not happen, it is not our portion. Even though the bullet hit you it will not enter. I am telling you.
What I was even waiting to hear is that the bullet touched me but it did not enter. Yes now, because the power of God must be made manifest. But we thank God for everything, no matter how it happened it is still God.
So, we will continue to praise him and exalt his most holy name. Please, that which we have heard, let us put it to good use. It is now between you and your choice and the record that is following you.
Please, as we still have little time, let us make use of it so that at the end of the day the eyes of the Lord will turn back to us for good. On this note I say remain blessed.
Let Bishop Sam close us with a word of prayer.
