WHERE YOU WORSHIP DOES NOT MATTER BUT HOW YOU WORSHIP 3 section Teaching Section 3 PREACHED
ON SUNDAY, 19TH JULY 2020 AT THE BRIDAL LODGE, NSUGBE ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN THE PARADOX
You know your problem. There is a way I will behave towards you and you will attribute it to the human side because of what you know human side to be. But you do not know what God-side is. If you know, who taught you? If you think you know, who taught you.
DO NOT BE CORRUPTED BY THE SIMPLICITY THAT IS IN CHRIST; Preached on Sunday 14th December 2008 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 134

LET THE WORD OF GOD HAVE ITS HOME IN YOUR HEART
So, let us see whether we can use one hour, thirty minutes to finish this Message. Give him
your attention as well. This is the third part. I will give it a title as we journey along, outside what is there.
IT IS TIME TO SEEK THE LORD, preached on Sunday, 26th February, 2017 at the Household of God, Onitsha by Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE SON OF MAN, The Supreme Intelligence.
2nd John 1:7, LB. 7Watch out for the false leaders—and there are many of them around—who don’t believe that Jesus Christ came to earth as a human being with a body like ours. Such people are against the truth and against Christ.
Thus, whoever that does not believe that God is a human being, that person is the person that is putting the world into confusion. He is the deceiver. He is the Anti-Christ. Is it not scriptural?
OBEDIENCE TO CARNAL LAWS LEADS TO ETERNAL SEPARATION FROM GOD. Q.E.D. I hope you are paying attention.
LISTEN, GOD IS NOT SEARCHING FOR; GOD IS NOT LOOKING FOR THOSE THAT WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO PRESENT AS THE PHYSICAL OUTLOOK AND EVERYTHING, “I HAVE BEEN CIRCUMCISED. I WORSHIP IN THIS TEMPLE. I GIVE MY OFFERING. I PAY MY TITHE. I FULFILL ALL MY RIGHT HERE.” GOD IS NOT LOOKING FOR THOSE PEOPLE.
HAVE YOU SEEN WHY, EVEN IF THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL ARE LIKE THE SANDS IN THE OCEAN, ONLY A REMNANT, A HANDPICKED MINORITY WILL BE SAVED?
HOW ARE THEY GOING TO BE SAVED? IT IS THROUGH THE MESSAGE OF THE SON OF MAN.
How are they going to be saved? It is through the Message of the Son of Man who has come to reconcile, to reform and to join the two sticks that they shall be one.
16Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions: 17and join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand. [Ezekiel 37:16 – 17 KJV]
Are you surprised at what is happening in the website? Am I giving the world different Messages? Check the website reports. Check Israel, check Arabia, check Italy, check UK, Russia, Ukraine, America, Nigeria. All the countries in the world.
How many Messages am I giving? One Message in their different languages. Then, watch the responses.
How many gods am I pointing them to? One God. With how many names? One Name. With how many doctrines? One doctrine. How many Paradises? One Paradise.
Let Me just say what I said earlier. Whatever statement the Son of Man makes, catch it by revelation, for He specializes in making multiple statements in one issue especially when He wants to trim down the crowd.
I do not make it as a stipulation, but if people could travel long distances that lasted days to go to Jeffersonville, in your own day, not in another day; we are not talking about David’s day or Queen of Sheba. We are talking about William Marion Branham who died in 1965. And most of us were born before then.
Greater than Branham is here. He that William Branham pointed all of them to has been here and is still here.
Then what makes their distance long? It is unbelief. It is blindness. It is ignorance.
Unbelief makes the journey longer than necessary. Unbelief delays the journey. And whenever a journey is delayed, it takes longer time to accomplish. True or false?
If you are traveling on the highway and you have a flat tyre, the time you would have arrived at your destination is prolonged.
If your vehicle spoils, it makes it longer. Is it not true? Every obstruction on the highway, makes the journey to be delayed and prolongs the time.
LET THE WORD OF GOD HAVE ITS HOME IN YOUR HEART
You are not a Jew outwardly because you were born in the Middle East, presumably Israel; you were circumcised according to their laws and traditions; but you are a Jew because your heart is right with God.
Whether you are Gentile or Jew; whether you were born in Nigeria or Canada; once you are a human being and your heart is right with your Maker, you are a Jew.
35But in every nation he who venerates and has a reverential fear for God, treating Him with worshipful obedience and living uprightly, is acceptable to Him and sure of being received and welcomed [by Him]. [Acts 10:35 AMP]
Nothing can be truer than the truth. Nothing can be truer than the truth!
If you do not have any other reason, salvation is of the Jews. I am a Jew because my heart is right with God. I am a Jew because I have circumcised my heart.
Why must it be your heart and not your brain? This is because that is the only resting place the Word of God should check in your life.
The Word of God has a resting place in your heart. The book of Colossians said “We make our hearts a home for the Word of God.”
16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. [Colossians 3:16 KJV]
Let the Word of God have its home in your heart. Let the Word of God dwell in your heart richly in all wisdom. It did not say “In your brain.” Today is the climax! This is wonderful!
For you to begin to change your heart and your mind, you must recognize what you were before, For you to know when that needed change has taken place.
A change that is brought about by your obedience to the truth that is revealed to you. It is not compliance. It is obedience, for obedience takes place in the heart, while compliance takes place in the brain.
I gave you a Message when we started, “IT IS TIME TO RUN WITHOUT LOOKING BACK.”
We picked this message right now. Check it. No mark. Nobody has ever read it. I was looking for something, and I told Brother Chika to go and find the Message, “SOW TO YOURSELF IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.”
He came back and told Me that it is not found in any book. I told him that it is contained inside a Message. He went back. Our brother, Chiemelie told him to go back, that it is contained in this Message.
He brought it, we searched and we saw it. That is how I brought it here, intending to include “SOW TO YOURSELF IN RIGHTEOUSNESS,” in the Message.
Seeing that we have ample time, there is no need going to that Chapter 7. I have now decided we read it all through. And it is helping.
It is supportive. It is not contradicting. It is throwing more light. Every Word from God is always alive and active.
12For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. [Hebrews 4:12 NIV]
If from all indications, you notice from the preaching of the Word of God that God is not happy with you, it then means your life is embarrassing Him, for you are claiming what you are not.
Brother John, please you are here at last, record as much as you can for your entire family, especially your mother who is about to join her ancestors.
Brother John Barnes? That is Deacon John. And the mother has joined her ancestors. Brother John recorded, came to the mother and the mother joined her ancestors. With the same Message.
Jesus the Christ made it clear, “Whosoever that cometh unto Me, I will in no wise cast away”. That is, if you come with a true heart.
If you allow His Word to dwell in you, you also will dwell in Christ. If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, two of us will become one.
You see what the Word of God is doing; preparing you and preparing Me for one thing. So, if for any reason at all, you are resisting the Word, you are doing yourself more harm than good.
I am the Word. The Son of Man is the Word made flesh. I am the Vessel harbouring the Shew-bread from where everybody is eating. Did you get what I am saying?
Through Me, the greatest Omnipotence the world has ever known is made manifest.
I am the revealed name of God and its power in this last age, for Christ remains the mystery of God revealed. And Christ also, according to the scriptures remains the wisdom and power of God.
2My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, [Colossians 2:2 NIV]
24but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. [1 Corinthians 1:24 NIV]
The time for carnal heritage of Salvation is over.
The time is past when people use to say that the one whose father is in heaven does not go to hell. That time is past. Whatever seed a man soweth, he alone must surely reap. The evil that a man does follows him here and even hereafter.
God is not interested in that again, “If you do not worship with us, you will not get salvation.” Who told you? Those people in the website, are they coming to fellowship here?
Do you know where they are? Can you recognize any? You will be here moping at Me and people will come from the East, West, North and South and inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.
Pure truth! Q.E.D. The Lord God has spoken. Who will cancel it? Who will annul it? Who will make it of non-effect?
Do not worry. We have already come to the end. That thing that remains can happen. Let Me just close My mouth. Continue.
Where you worship does not count again. What counts is the truth that circumcises your heart and brings you into right relationship with God.
And this truth can only come out where God has chosen to place His Name. And that is God’s chosen place of worship.
Where we are now! EBEANO!
It is not where you worship that counts, but your mode of worship.
Is our worship spiritual and real? Do we have the Holy Spirit’s help? For God is Spirit, and we must have his help to worship as we should.
God is a spirit being and it behooves Him, the spirit being to help us to worship Him as He should be worshipped.
Do we have the Spirit here among us as our Teacher, Instructor, Guide, Counselor, and everything? We have Him in person as our teacher.
45It is written in [the book of] the Prophets, And they shall all be taught of God [have Him in person for their Teacher]. Everyone who has listened to and learned from the Father comes to Me— [John 6:45 AMP]
He that appeared in our midst, was photographed. Even if everything can elude your memory, the photographs are there.
You can deny everything; you will not deny the photograph. Though they are removed from our physical eyes, they registered in our spiritual eyes.
We have them here. Besides, we have the individuality in person. The Divine Personality is sitting down here. And we are hearing His Voice from morning till now.
Once your spirit is right, your action must be right.
If you believe it say “Amen!” Once the spirit is wrong, your action must be wrong. Are you enjoying this Fellowship?
If He has come to put us in the right spirit with God, He has also come to put us in the right character, for behind every character, there must be a spirit controlling it. I mean, directing it.
If that spirit is the one God delights in, you become God’s object of praise.
This is because you know your position in Christ before that D-day, which can even take place even now. Let Me hold my peace.
Romans 8:28 Amplified. We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labour] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.
Fitting into his plan. All things! Not minus. All means all. Good or bad. All means all. The most important is partnering with God. Are you partnering with God in your labour?
Make God your partner in all your labour. I bet you, all things will be fitting into His plan. He turns disappointments into opportunities. Did you get the Message? He turns disappointments into opportunities.
Remember the three “S” I gave you in this COVID-19 lockdown. [1] Suffering: You can be suffering towards savings, for that will tell you to stop walking up and down.
You do not go about in the night or in the day. Complete lockdown! You do not go to beer parlour to drink. You do not go to hotel to spend money.
You do not go to market to spend frivolously, because money is not coming daily into your hands. The suffering has led you into living a conservative life.
You are now a Hedge Fund Manager. I call you a thrift manager. You now manage your resources that are meager very wisely.
By so doing, the COVID lockdown that brought sufferings and hardship has made you to be saving your precious money for precious uses. Do you get what I am saying?
Expenses are cut down to the barest minimum. From your curtailing expenses, you have some savings you never had.
It leads you to [2] sustenance, for what you saved today will sustain you tomorrow. When you adopt it as a habit, it becomes a [3] success story tomorrow.
For what you learnt during COVID lockdown has now resulted to future success. You are now sustained by your experiences.
That is why the Son of Man relaxed it a little. To know whether you learnt anything at all. Then you join the world in the hustle and bustle to recover the lost period. Can you recover the lost time? Amen.
To every true seed of God, disappointments are turned to opportunities.
Let us face facts, if not COVID lockdown, do you think we would be where we are today? We would be going to church to be seeing ourselves.
COVID lockdown ordered us back to our homes and then brought us closest to the Word of God. There was no spiritual growth in the Bride, except during this global lockdown.
All were going to church, but they were carnal. I am telling you the truth. We were merely playing religion. What is more? The Voice of the shepherd never got to the grassroots until during this COVID.
Because, before now you were listening to many voices. All claiming to be Ministers. Where are they today? All who are experts in misinterpreting the Word of God for base advantage.
Some, in order to wield unnecessary authority over their families, they claim to be what they are not and turn the Grace of God into slavery. True or false?
Even as I am talking to you now, many families are in bondage. What they understand it to mean is, “Stay in your house, whether you are perishing or not.”
The housewives are misrepresentatives, misrepresenting their families. And trouble is everywhere. Trouble is everywhere! A sure sign that Christ is no longer there.
IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE SON OF MAN, IT IS BECAUSE I AM NOT DANCING TO YOUR TUNE. IF I SHOULD DANCE TO YOUR TUNE, THERE WILL BE NO PROBLEM. NEVERTHELESS, I AM DANCING TO THE TUNE OF CHRIST. I AM DANCING TO THE TUNE OF TRUTH, AND NOT TO YOUR OWN WAY OR IDEA OR YOUR WAY OF SEEING THINGS. GOD DOES NOT SEE IT THE WAY YOU SEE. GOD WILL DESTROY ALL HUMAN PLANS OF SALVATION.
AS WE WAIT AT THE GATE OF PARADISE VOL 2; preached on Sunday 3rd April, 2011 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 55 vs. 40 – 41

I AM THE FINAL AUTHORITY
Romans 8:28 AMP. We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labour] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.
Hold it there. All things! Let me tell you something.
If you want to survive when God has revealed Himself in human form; having assumed your own human nature by eating the same food with you, sleeping with you, having everything in common with you;
If you want to survive, put away the physical side. Fix your affection on the spiritual side.
Take every Word from Him, every advice, every instruction, every correction, every rebuke from Him as coming from a spiritual being; a divine being. That is youR safety.
Any day you begin to take it from the physical, you will claim to be wiser than Him or know more than Him in every subject.
Tell Me any area or life where God does not know more than man? Who instituted it?
God is the professor of all professors; a scholar of all scholars; a philosopher of all philosophers; an astrologer of all astrologers; a pagan of all pagans. If you do not know, know it now.
You want to tell me you are a pagan, I will show you that if you are a pagan, then I am “paganism.”
God Almighty is the Almighty because He can do all things. He can do and undo. He entertains no query from anybody.
When you want to behave like the three “J’s”, Do you know the three “J’s?” THE THREE “J’s” ARE [1] JOB, [2] JEREMIAH AND [3] JONAH.
Job demonstrated against God and argued, when God spoke; Job placed his hands on his lips and said, “God, I am sorry for I have spoken unguardedly and I have spoken too much.”
“Now I realize that You are the Almighty. Innocent or guilty, You must destroy if You want. Why affirming my righteousness? A mere maggot; a mere dust before the Supreme God.
[4]“I am nothing—how could I ever find the answers? I lay my hand upon my mouth in silence. [5]I have said too much already.” [Job 40:4 – 5 LB]
Can a man stand before God and declare himself innocent? You are not holy; you are not righteous; you are not innocent, until you have heard it from the mouth of the Lord.
That is why you must be very careful in your self-evaluation. Do not esteem yourself higher than what you are. Until you hear from God, you are still nothing.
I am nothing until I hear from God. If not from God, I would not have known that I am a chosen vessel unto Him to bear His name.
I would not have known that I am that promised Son. S-0-N, in whom He is well pleased.
How would I have known that I came out here to be the Resurrected Body in whom dwelleth the fullness of the Godhead bodily, if He never spoke to Me?
You do not know who you are until God has given you a name. Nobody here knows. Like Wisdom My son; he knows he is My son. He knows he is believing God, but that he is a Pastor was unknown to him.
It behooveth Me, the Father, the Revealed Christ to lay My hand on him and evoke the pastoral spirit which I call fatherly spirit in him, for he will be My successor. He is My heir apparent.
Having endued him with My attributes and My characteristics, My duty now is to nurture him to grow to limelight where he can now stand on his own, by conviction and not by compulsion.
The same is applicable to the Apostle. The same is applicable to the Evangelist. It is not because they are my children. There were others before them. Are they My biological children?
But there is no way this Ministry can thrive at this last period when others have slept [and God has cast them away] without My own biological children having My genes rallying round Me.
The same way the three of them rallied round Noah, so they are rallying round Me. Even if they marry today, they will marry according to the directives of their Father who is a representative of Abraham.
It was Abraham that sent Eleazar, gave Eleazar stipulations for the type of wife he desired for his son, Isaac. No mistake, so that the godly lineage will continue.
2He said to the chief servant in his household, the one in charge of all that he had, “Put your hand under my thigh. 3I want you to swear by the Lord , the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living, 4but will go to my country and my own relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac.” …….
51Here is Rebekah; take her and go, and let her become the wife of your master’s son, as the Lord has directed.” 52When Abraham’s servant heard what they said, he bowed down to the ground before the Lord . …….
57Then they said, “Let’s call the girl and ask her about it.” 58So they called Rebekah and asked her, “Will you go with this man?” “I will go,” she said. ……
61Then Rebekah and her maids got ready and mounted their camels and went back with the man. So the servant took Rebekah and left. [Genesis 24:2 – 4, 51 – 52, 57 – 58 & 61]
You think I am crazy? At a time when you think I am foolish, I am wiser than the wisest.
I know how to test people. If I give you a matter to go and deliberate on, and then come and give Me your feedback, and I say, “Go and deliberate. Invite so so and so for their suggestions. Then come and tell Me”, Who has the final say? Allah!
No matter the deliberations of the National Assembly [members of the House of Representatives and the Senate], it requires the final authority to give assent. If he does not give his assent, the bill is rubbish, and their deliberations rubbish.
Listen to Me, if you do not know what I am saying, all of you are graduates, I do not care about the bills passed, or their deliberations, but the president has the final say. Until he signs a bill into law, it is a useless paper.
The whole Nigerians gathered, 3,000 Nigerians in 2015 during Jonathan’s regime, to discuss the restructuring of Nigeria. They came up with their paper to be signed into law. It was delayed by Jonathan and he was ousted in the polls. Buhari won the poll.
When the matter came to Buhari, they brought the paper. Buhari studied it with his agents and called it a useless paper. He threw it into the dustbin.
Nigeria had spent over one hundred billion naira in nine months, with 3,000 eminent Nigerians that deliberated. He called it an exercise in futility; a mere dissipation of energy.
Many bills sponsored by individuals in the National Assembly concluded by the majority votes, they brought it before him and he cancelled all; including appropriation bill. Can you query him?
He told you to go and deliberate. He can call you to be an adviser on political matters, finance and everything. He will tell you, “You are only to advise. You cannot compel me to obey. You have advised me. Go your way. I will select. And anyone that suits my purpose, I will adopt.”
You cannot make a suggestion and turn it to be a decision when there is a Supreme Authority that gave you the assignment. Will you implement it?
He said, “This is what I want all of you to go and do. I do not want disturbance so that I will spend time, my little time now to complete the work God has sent Me. Whatever you deliberated upon, bring it before Me.” I AM, I AM, I AM THE SOLE SIGNATORY WHOSE ASSENT WILL PUT IT INTO EFFECT.
If after studying and scrutinizing it and I throw it away, you do not need to ask Me why. I have seen too many flaws, I can send it back to you, pointing the areas you should amend before bringing it back.
But if I notice that time is not on My side, and you are wasting your time, I will hijack it, tell all of you to go and rest, that you have wasted your time. I ended the controversy. And what I want is not controversy. I want something that will help Me to go into action. Am I making sense?
But let Me now tell you the other side. The other side is to test your spiritual maturity, and to know that while democratiZing the Faith, he never democratiZed his principle of life.
That He is the Almighty Who knows the end from the beginning, He knows all things and has no need that any man should teach Him or counsel Him;
AND TO KNOW WHETHER YOU KNOW THE PERSONALITY, THE INDIVIDUALITY, DIVINE IN NATURE, WHO IS PROVING YOUR FAITH, for God must prove your Faith using things you least expected; when you had already known what to do. This is the reason why He is called the ALL-KNOWING, THE ALL-WISE. THE INEXHAUSTIBLE FOUNTAIN OF WISDOM.
Do you know why I am showing you Scriptures? It is to help you to see that every action of the Son of Man must dovetail with the revealed Scriptures, either written or prophetic, coming from other prophets, for there are too many other prophets.
Ancient prophets will confirm it and the Holy Books will confirm it, that you may know that I am He. And besides Me cometh no other.
I am conferred with absolute authority in heaven and on earth to have dominion, control, power over all creatures, including all men and women according to the Scriptures. Who are you?
Look at Job. He thought it was wise and expedient to query God. He ended it in apology, with his hands over his lips.
Another person was Jeremiah who was striving with God, saying that God was an unjust God, who was allowing wicked people to prosper while the innocent people are going down in poverty.
God said, “Jeremiah, so you are disgusted while arguing with ordinary men of Anathoth who came with mere chariots. What will be your reaction tomorrow if the Almighty Himself will give you a chase?”
5″If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan? [Jeremiah 12:5 NIV]
He asked him the question, “Where were you when I formed the heavens and the earth? Can you tell Me how many pillars I have used to sustain them?”
3Gird up now your loins like a man, and I will demand of you, and you declare to Me. 4Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Declare to Me, if you have and know understanding.
5Who determined the measures of the earth, if you know? Or who stretched the measuring line upon it? 6Upon what were the foundations of it fastened, or who laid its cornerstone, [Job 38:3 – 6 AMP]
Then another one did not learn a lesson. That was Prophet Jonah.
Jonah began to accuse Him, “Do not tell me to go there and prophesy, for you will put me into trouble. I will proclaim doom and destruction, but in a little while, You will forgive them. Then they will see me as a lying prophet, and I will be their enemy. For that, let me jump into the sea.”
1The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: 2″Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”
3But Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord. [Jonah 1:1 – 3 NIV]
He jumped into the sea, then when he came out, God vomited him at the city gate. He preached the message, at the end, God repented. When the people repented, God repented.
For God said, “If I proclaim that I will unleash evil on the people, if they turn away from their wicked ways, I, the Lord will forgive them, cancel their iniquities and remember it no more.”
God did it and Jonah started demonstrating against God. “I said it.” Under the oak tree, it was there God asked, “Jonah, are you striving with Me for the people repented on hearing My Word and I pardoned them, reconciled them. Jonah, have you not been committing iniquity? Are you standing in your righteousness?
Did I send you here because you are better than them? How will you feel if I kill you and your people? Do I delight in the death of the sinners? I wish they should repent and live.”
1BUT IT displeased Jonah exceedingly and he was very angry. 2And he prayed to the Lord and said, I pray You, O Lord, is not this just what I said when I was still in my country? That is why I fled to Tarshish, for I knew that You are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and of great kindness, and [when sinners turn to You and meet Your conditions] You revoke the [sentence of] evil against them. 3Therefore now, O Lord, I beseech You, take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live. 4Then said the Lord, Do you do well to be angry? [Jonah 4:1 – 4 AMP]
Jonah knelt down and said, “The Lord, You are my God. The Lord, You are my God.”
If the Lord will judge iniquity; judge us according to our doings and everything, who will stand? That is why He tampers justice with mercy, especially when handling the cases of His servants.
He shows them favour. Yet, He judges without partiality, but there is a preferential treatment for His servants. Can you query Him?
REMEMBER THE THREE J’s – JOB, JEREMIAH AND JONAH. THE THREE J’s. AMEN.
Are you with Me? Are you tired? Do not look at the time, look at the Son of Man, for My strength is being renewed every minute. Look away from My sickness, but begin to see what is coming out of the sickness.
In My weakness, the Lord is declaring Me strong. He is making Himself strong in My life and in this family, that all the Elect God ordained to Himself in this dispensation must come to THE SON OF MAN. Amen.
I will preach to the living in the day. In the night, I join the dead. In the day, I join the living. And in the night, I join the dead. And then we talk things over. All with this same Message, for without Me and My Message, they can never be perfect.
There can never be any salvation without the Saviour. If the Saviour never appeared, there is no salvation.
The same Man who came, paid the price for sin and went away, came back to complete the work: full and complete salvation.
28Even so it is that Christ, having been offered to take upon Himself and bear as a burden the sins of many once and once for all, will appear a second time, not to carry any burden of sin nor to deal with sin, but to bring to full salvation those who are [eagerly, constantly, and patiently] waiting for and expecting Him. [Hebrews 9:28 AMP]
SALVATION MEANS PAYING THE PRICE FOR SIN FOR NO MAN IS SAVED UNTIL HE IS COLTHED WITH IMMORTALITY. Thank you!
Page 66 verse 4. Romans 8:28 Amplified. We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labour] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.
But whoever that hates God, all his work negatively walk against him.
For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], share inwardly His likeness.
He never moulded them into making money, into possessing the world or into creating wealth.
Did He say, share physically, carnally? I am trying to establish this spirit of worship,…
OUR FACES ARE DIFFERENT, BUT THE SPIRIT IS ONE, and THE CHARACTER IS ONE, FOR THE SPIRIT THAT IS IN A MAN PROPELS HIS CHARACTER.
That is why, people with identical behaviours and identical characters must be packed on one side, for birds of the same feather; birds of the same specie, they move together, and the seed can never be an heir with the shuck. Do you understand what I am saying?
[THE SEED SHALL NOT BE HEIR WITH THE SHUCK was preached by William Branham on Thursday morning, 29th April 1965 at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.]
No matter how you love to eat walnut, do you eat the seed with the hard cover? No matter how you love to eat coconut or walnut, do you eat the seed with the hard cover or with the succulent cover?
I call it the mesocarp; both the endocarp and the mesocarp. And then the drupe [central stone containing the seed], the hardcore that envelopes the seed, you must crack all.
That is why a lazy man does not eat walnut. He does not eat coconut for you will do a lot of labour for you to eat coconut. And you can never break the coconut without drinking the water. Amen.
You must break the coconut before you drink the water. By the time you get to the coconut, you may be tired. It requires strength. It requires a sharp knife, and it requires patience. You must be patient. With walnut, the same thing Amen..
Romans 8:28 – 29 AMP. We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose. For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness],…
Did He say, share physically, carnally? I am trying to establish this spirit of worship, reverential worship and worshipful obedience. You resemble Him inwardly.
…That He might become the firstborn among many brethren. And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself).
Halleluiah. This is what I want to get there.
We must finish it today. Are you going somewhere?
Song: [Life here is grand with friends I love so dear. We move along in sweet accord. But when my soul needs manna from above, where could I go but to the Lord?
Where could I go o. Where could I go, seeking a refuge for my soul? Needing a friend to help me till the end, where could I go but to the Lord?]
If he heals you, it is because he wants to heal you. Whatever you are receiving from Him, He is doing it as extra favour, but the purpose for which THE SON OF MAN is sent is to bring the Elect home. No more. No less. ………Whoever that is avoiding the Son of Man is stupid. Whoever that is avoiding THE SON OF MAN is joking or playing with His life because you do not know what lies ahead of you.

YOU MUST BE ACQUAINTED WITH GOD PERSONALLY AND PRACTICALLY
The Word of God said, “It takes the Spirit Being to help us till the end,” for what was assigned to us to help us is the Spirit Being.
Remember, it requires that Spirit Being to accomplish all things, for both He that sanctifies and they that are sanctified, placed in right standing, justified, acquitted, discharged, are altogether of one.
He that justifies, acquits, makes holy, places people in right standing, has become equal with them in all ramifications.
For which cause, he does not cover His face in shame anymore. Rather, He boldly declares and makes public that they are His Brethren.
God does not cover His face in shame. He is not ashamed of them. They are not ashamed of Him. Rather, He makes it bold, boldly declaring, “This is My son. This is My brother. This is My this.”
Like we went to where we went some few days ago with Brother Alexus [the Pastor]. When I got to My relation who is a Deacon in the Assemblies of God, with the wife there at the Ogbaru main market, they called him by his name which they know him there, for they are in the same line of business.
Surprised, I said, “My brother, this is My own son. This also is My biological son. These are the people I have brought here for you to know them.”
The man said, “I know him already. I know his line of business.” And I said, “Yes! Call him Alexus. Period. He is My son, My junior. My junior.” This is better. It happened live.
Brother Alexis was filled with joy. He leaped and leaped and leaped. All the places we went to, I introduced him as My son, “Look at these two, they are My children. These are the faces you will be seeing. Do not expect Me.” Period!
Our Brother was moving majestically, and that is what it should be. Yes! I am not ashamed. I never closed My face while introducing him, for I have not received any evil report concerning him.
Rather, three places we went, they were talking good of him. Three places, and they were talking good of him. I wanted to verify it. Three places spoke good of him. I took him to where he knew not.
When we got there, the man said, “I used to see him.” The man spoke good, “He is a nice young man. A nice young man in that bank line.” We looked at ourselves, and I tapped his shoulders.
If I should run to your own wing, what will be your record? Who will be telling the many bad stories? Amen. God is with you while you are with Him.
He that justifies, acquits, makes holy, places people in right standing, has become equal with them in all ramifications. For which cause he does not cover His face in shame anymore.
Rather, He boldly declares and makes public that they are His brethren, identifies with them as His brethren, for they now have the same nature.
Romans 8:30 AMP. 30And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself).
And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition.
Watch the adjective, for they now have the same nature. What if I go to a workshop where a Brother is and evil reports are following him, will I identify with him?
I will tell the people that this is my friend, that we know ourselves in one church. In one church. Or he used to do this one for Me. But to tell them he is My brother, I will not do it because he is a blasphemer. Is it not true?
That is why I do not visit people anyhow, for many are not commanding good reports in their families. In the area where they are living, people do not know them as children of God.
Even here in Nsugbe and Onitsha North or Nkwelle, I can never do it, lest people associate Me with them and their families. Those that know Me, if they see Me associating with such people that do not maintain good reports, will they not say I am one with them?
Brother Chika, are you paying attention? I wonder what people will call Me when I go to your father’s house to identify with him, your mother and the rest. They will write Me off. For that reason, I find it difficult to go out.
My house is enough for Me. If you need Me, you come. I do not need you. You need Me. If you want Me to come, fine. I will give you condition and when I am likely to come.
Who can bring anything to the charge of somebody God has acquitted, set free, justified, placed in right standing with Himself?
ALL WE NEED IS TO MAKE SURE THAT GOD IS WITH US, EMMANUEL. IN WHATEVER YOU ARE PLANNING OR DOING, MAKE SURE GOD IS WITH YOU.
How many heard this Voice from the beginning? “I am a sensitive Spirit. Remember, any mistake you make and He leaves, it takes time for Him to be back. He will recoil immediately.” That is the Spirit that is still here till now.
And once He recoils, you are in a suspended silence.
It was God that announced when the Message was going on that an enemy was coming. Look at who he is and look at where he is coming now.
This was how it happened. There was no phone Nobody knew that a man, an enemy was coming that midnight. It was the Man that was in the pulpit, the Son of Man that announced it.
“An enemy is coming. He should have been here now. Look at the name of the enemy.” This was even when he was still at Nkpor Junction. We were over four miles away.
When he finally asked questions upon questions from people, enquiring and located it, He [God] announced that the enemy had entered the compound. Midnight!
Brethren ran helter skelter. All those from Abagana, including Bon Diuka, Solomon, Brother Mike Emmanuel, everywhere.
They searched with torchlight. Nobody saw him, but forty-five minutes after, He [God] said “Stop searching. Go to the pillar there. You will see him.”
And the Son of Man was still in the pulpit inside the classroom, barricaded by many walls. There was no link between the building and where all these things were happening.
They rushed to that pillar, flashed the light and they saw him hiding, wearing black upon black with black gown in the night, around 1:00am.
But he breezed in around 10:30pm, and remained hiding at Nkpor until he heard our voices. Through our Message and Voices, he traced us down.
If while He has appeared and you are still battling within yourself to help yourself, you are out of the way of His salvation.
You see why He said, “Lean not on your own understanding. Learn to rely on Him, depend on Him, pin your hope on Him. For in Him alone must the Gentiles pin their hope. Lean your entire personality on Him.
12In order that you may not grow disinterested and become [spiritual] sluggards, but imitators, behaving as do those who through faith (by their leaning of the entire personality on God in Christ in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) and by practice of patient endurance and waiting are [now] inheriting the promises. [Hebrews 6:12 AMP]
When the Word of God comes to you, it shakes you. Confirming the truth without abiding in the truth and without being a part of the truth, will it give you a ticket into Paradise?
THE TRUTH CANNOT GIVE YOU A PLACE IN PARADISE UNTIL THE TRUTH PULLS YOU AND DELIVERS YOU INTO PARADISE, FOR I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO MAN ENTERS INTO PARADISE WITHOUT ME. I AM THE DOOR.
But watch that one that is still being influenced by the power that is in the magnet, it will be dangling but it has not connected. If it does not connect and that magnet pulls out, it remains lying there.
When the Word of God comes to you, it shakes you. It penetrates your heart. It questions too many things in you.
It asks you series of questions, “What is your relationship with God. Have you been acquainted with God personally and practically? Do you have any evidence that you are already raptured or that your spirit is already raptured?”
Then, God expects a response, an answer. Response is an answer.
Nobody can wrong THE SON OF MAN again. If you are doing wrong, you are doing it to yourself. Your unbelief does not touch Me.
If you come down from the tipper, I regard you as sand, for I do not even notice that you dropped. The tipper is going to empty everything it is carrying as a full trip. One man can form a full trip. True or false?
A trip means from the loading point to offloading point, one trip. Even if it is one person or two, or empty, it has gone one trip.
When love and mercy project, tell Me what will declare you unsaved again? It is because you have sown to yourself in righteousness.
12Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. [Hosea 10:12 KJV]
And Christ is your righteousness. That is when you confide in Him, depend on Him, lean on Him and stop leaning on your own understanding.
Brethren, thank God you are here, fellowshipping with us.
There is a condition the Lord had already told Me He set for saving the imbecile, the mad people, the lame, the crippled and the physically challenged persons. The conditions for their salvation differ from your own.
The Lord has revealed these things to the Son of MaN, because the Bible said in the book of Revelation that on that day, both the blind, the lame, the dumb, they are returning to be a part of the Kingdom.
So, let no man ever fool you into believing that the condition upon which God will save a mad man is the condition upon which He will save a sensible man. Why then is He teaching him?
All the stars, do they have equal glory? Are we all rulers? Are we all servants? Amen.
I know the door mat is in the house, but let Me be the cushion. The door mat is in the house, but there are too many other valuables.
Let Me be numbered among the valuables that cannot easily be replaced because I am a scarce commodity and I am also expensive to replace.
Break up the fallow grounds so that your stony heart that has refused to accept the Word of God, that impenetrable heart; this is the time to break it.
I want to show you something. Leviticus 26 verse 21 through 28, Amplified.
If you walk contrary to Me and will not heed Me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you, according to your sins.
What? If you walk contrary to Me and will not heed Me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you, according to your sins.
The Bible says God is the Almighty Who you will call once, He answers seven times. You commit one evil against Him, He will pay you with seven different calamities.
Verse 26. When I break your staff of bread and cut off your supply of food, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall ration your bread and deliver it again by weight; and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.
You will be in the internally displaced camp. COVID-19 will cause the government to be giving you relief, sharing bread and feeding you as beggars, so that you will be partakers of the plaque. Partakers of the sufferings. Who said that God does not do homework?
Only people that are serious with this Faith will survive it. The time for collective salvation is over.
If I know that when I walk contrary to God, He is bound to walk contrary to Me, your duty now is to take this Message to your homes.
Spread this good tiding to all your children who are adults …Take it to where? Your homes!
Spread this good tiding to all your children who are adults… Whether far or near …so that they will know the implications of hearing the truth and departing from the truth for any reason at all.
That is why God asked that question, “Can you bear it? Will your brain sustain you? Can your hand be strong in the day I will visit you in My vengeance because of your turning of things upside down, by departing from the true God?”
If you know you cannot bear, you do not have the strength to fight with God, and even if you fight, you cannot prevail; nobody will tell you to begin now to sow your seed in righteousness.
We now invite the Apostle, Enyinnaya to come to the pulpit and dismiss us with a word of prayer as we believe that we have been touched positively by the Spirit of Truth and we will no longer be the same.
