WHO HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING TO VOL 2

WHO HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING TO? VOLUME 2 OF 3 Preached ON Friday 15^TH October, 2021 AT THE VOICE OF GOD STUDIO The Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN THE ETERNAL ROCK OF AGES

Transcribed by Sister Biola Ajewole Household of God, Lagos, Nigeria

LOVE IS CORRECTIVE

God will make a way for me and for you, when you do what? Shun the wrong and do the right, and live a holy life. Somebody said, “Holiness is not innocence”.
They are two different things. To be innocent means that you do not know. Maybe you have not encountered that situation. And that is the reason why you are innocent. But you are holy because you have seen that situation and you have maintained your stand in Christ.
That is what God is teaching us. God did not take us out of the world, creating a different world for us. We are in the world, but we are living the life of the children of God. This is what makes us holy.
You should be grateful to God Brother William. See this service as one dedicated to you. It is not because God is not talking to all of us. He is talking to us as a family, but you are the case study today.
Why? Because it is clear. Imagine the situations around you which you yourself have accepted, but runs contrary to the principles the family is establishing in Christ.
You know and I am still making it clear because I am making a tape that I must send to the Almighty God that you are not in the Faith of Christ as l speak now. You can be in this Faith tomorrow, but as long as your manifestations are concerned, you are not in the Faith, the Bride of Christ Ministry Worldwide, which is the Faith THE SON OF MAN is establishing. Your manifestations have run contrary to expectations.
And this is exactly what God expects from every family, collectively rising up against all manifestations of unbelief. That is the only way we can stamp out evil from our homes as we worship God at home.
When we were gathering in the central fellowships, all these things existed, but they werecovered up. Now that we are in our homes, I know myself, I know my wife, I knowall my children, and Iknow their behaviours one after the other.
HEAR ME ALL OF YOU AND THOSE IN DISTANT LANDS. THE WORST CRIME ANY FAMILY WILL COMMIT IS TO GANG UP AGAINST THE TRUTH. To conspire against the Truth is the worst crime a family will commit.
What do I mean? When a family has taken counsel together, to disobey God’s word, and to challenge God’s authority, that family must be exterminated from the surface of the earth. The entire family must perish.
Joshua said, “As for me and my family, we have resolved and we have chosen to worship the living God. While we live, it must be God over us. That is our family decision”.
And that is exactly the decision of the Son of Man and His family. Not because of the inscription l pasted on the wall or on My gate.
My home which is the home of the Almighty God haS zero tolerance for unbelief and can never condone or accommodate any sign of unbelief from anybody, be you my wife, who is my highest property I can claim that belongs to me.
My greatest property or asset I have remains my wife. From her, my children came. I will never in this life nor in the life to come condone, accommodate, tolerate or cover up any sign of unbelief emanating from any of them, Even the married ones.
Though their husbands may compromise with them, from this particular seat of wisdom, this seat of God, truly speaking, l will expose all to exculpate Myself before the angels and before the Saints, and before the presence of the Most High God. I will expose all to exonerate myself from being blamed.
And that was why all our patriarchs never kept quiet over the iniquities of their children.
I appreciate and love Bishop Joe Ukpong and the rest of other Brethren that have risen up collectively in their homes to stamp out iniquity. After knowing the truth, we are supposed to behave right.
Watch this young Brother, Apostle Timothy Ukpong. The second in the family. How old is he? He is joining hands with the family to correct his most senior brother.
He never had it in his mind to insult the senior brother, but if the senior brother wants to take it as insult, it is up to him, for love is corrective. He is manifesting the greatest form of love towards his senior brother. The greatest form of respect is correction.
But if he had joined hands with the most senior, for reasons best known to him, may be to embarrass the parents, to intimidate, frighten them or to prove to them that they have become adults or that they have arrived, the Lord would have condemned him in toto.
That is why the Bible said, “If any be found in a wrong, let him that is wiser, let him that knows better put him right with the spirit of meekness and lowliness of heart, restore him and reconcile him to God, for that is what love is all about”
Any family that is doomed is a family where the children in that family conspire against the truth. If the most senior is in error, the rest will join in that error. That family is doomed to destruction.
There must be a Phinehas in every family. One who will hate sin with perfect hatred. One who will not hate the things of God. One who will stand for God, to the extent that wherever iniquity is found he must condemn it. He will never be a part of it.
Psalms 106:28-31, AMP. ²⁸They joined themselves also to the [idol] Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices [offered] to the lifeless [gods]. ²⁹Thus they provoked the Lord to anger with their practices, and a plague broke out among them. ³⁰Then stood up Phinehas [the priest] and executed judgment, and so the plague was stayed. ³¹And that was credited to him for righteousness (right doing and right standing with God) to all generations forever.
It is a crime against God and against the individual to take a wrong stand because the first has erred and maybe he is being rebuked, he is being indicted by the parents and he goes about angrily demonstrating.
Then the rest will join with that foolish one. Maybe they are trying to get favour from him. That goes to show that such a family is devoid of godly children.
Godly children are only those that are espoused to the truth and they believeD that truth and practice it by individual revelation.
Nobody can conspire to serve God. That is why Prophet Mohammed Raheem [pbuh] said, “If you know you believe in Allah, you are sure and certain that you believe in Allah WALK ALONE. Do not walk with the majority.”
Surah 2 vs 199. I repeat, if you are sure and certain that you have believed in Allah, you are practicing the teachings of Allah, and you have sworn your oath of allegiance to Allah to walk with him and never to draw back, He said, “Walk Alone. Do not walk with the majority”.
Surah 2:199, Yusuf Ali translation. ¹⁹⁹Then pass on at a quick pace from the place whence it is usual for the multitude so to do, and ask for Allah’s forgiveness. For Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
Only then can you serve Allah faithfully, for there is no way God can accept the sacrifice of Abel if He permits Cain to place his own sacrifice on top of his own.
The moment Cain places his sacrifice on top of that of righteous Abel, both are defiled. Both are rejected. The Lord will never accept that sacrifice again.
So if God must accept the sacrifice of Abel, Abel must single himself out and then present his own offering before the Lord, and allow Cain to do his own way in his own way. Only then will the Lord declare and confirm who is Holy and acceptable among the two. Am I making sense?
Truth defends itself. I say, truth defends itself, but falsehood is going about looking for defense, and looking for somebody who will buy his own idea.
If you do not learn how to correct yourself among yourself, you must compromise with the evil one.
That was what happened in the house of David. You watch David. His first son became a hooligan. The second son joined him. The third joined. Of all his numerous wives, he raised a barrack of evil ones, until he was blessed with Solomon through the woman Bathsheba. A wife of circumstance.
The last in the family was the one that patterned after the father, for the father David was also the last in the family of Jesse, hated because Jesse hated his mother with perfect hatred.
For that reason, Jesse hated David according to the Legend of the Jews and sent him into the wilderness to tend his flock so that lion could devour him there. This was done to get rid of David from his sight so that the sight of the mother will fizzle out of his memory.
But the hated woman produced the righteous David, hated by the father, but the beloved of God.
The same thing happened between Esau and Jacob. Esau was hated by the mother, but the father loved Esau. That is why Esau is Edom.
Their mother loved Jacob more than the first son and then we know what happened. The Bible recorded that Jacob was a very lazy fellow – very lazy – who refused to work while the first son was very industrious and the delight of the father.
Experience has proved to all of us that anyone that is the beloved of the mother must be a lazy fellow, for the mother will assume all the responsibilities meant for that lazy one.
That is where women become spoilers, If only there was no record that the mothers of these errant children, even helped in any way in correcting them.
Can you imagine a situation where the first son Absalom rose up against the father, but the mother never showed any concern. The rest of the family never showed any concern. Not even one joined hands with the father to curb the rebellion, for they were all in one camp.
FAMILY CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE TRUTH LEADS TO TOTAL ANNIHILATION – TOTAL EXTERMINATION OF THAT FAMILY.
A woman that is desirous to live with God eternally, once she is married, she must take side with God against evil and hate whosoever that rises up to destroy the family order which is fashioned after godliness. The mother must rise up against it.
This young man William; l know him. l can talk about him to a very large extent. l indicted the mother in Jos because of William. And l have never ceased from indicting her.
l equally indicted her when l confronted her over the phone and she was trying to defend her errant son – the first son, when he was studying in Markurdi, Benue State.
And the mother was pestering me with prayer requests concerning William. l told her, “Your child was not studying anything in any university in Benue. Your son dropped out long time ago. He is wasting your money and equally wasting your time and his own time. He is deviant”.
His mother could hardly believe Me that time. She had to travel down to Benue from Jos, only to see things for herself that William had already wasted over nine years in Benue without a Diploma. Instead, he rolled himself into too many troubles by way of doing business.
Business students can hardly touch the sky. Rather, they were dying young without achieving their ambitions.
That is why l have tried My best to discourage My children. You are all my children. All that are hearing My Voice, you are my children.
I have tried My best to discourage all and sundry from putting money first. Money should not be first in your priority. Delete money. Anything can be scarce, but not money.
Train yourself. What you need is not money. What you need is qualitative training, self-discipline backed up by the fear of God which is the beginning of wisdom.
Of course, there is no way a young man can train himself, discipline himself, develop self-control, if not through the fear of God, which is the beginning of wisdom.
But fools despise it, for they have concluded that there is no God. And that is why you see their lives being shattered as they journey along through life.
What destroyed the boy? He was brilliant in the beginning. He was winning accolades as one of the leading students in the secondary school, primary and so on. But immediately he entered the university, all that he learnt from the family, he dumped and became a business student.
To be a business student has put many into trouble. Watch all the school drop outs today. Find out why they dropped out. You will notice that it is because they roped themselves into business. They combined their studies with business because they were making a lot of money from business.
Their confessions started changing gradually. They could not see reasons for completing their studies. They will drop when they have earned nothing. You discover that along the way, business will disappoint them and academics will disappoint them.
I still say it and I maintain it. And I will say it throughout eternity. Education remains the shortest cut to eradicate poverty and ignorance. Believe it if you can!
Look at this boy, he wanted to make it at a tender age. He could not complete his career. He is more than 30 years now. Where is he? His younger one is the one putting him right.
How l wish our own children will learn a lesson. That is why l love and appreciate the boldness and courage of Bishop Joe Ukpong.
It takes one that is committed to this sacred trust to expose the evils of his family and to make it public so that the Almighty God will stand there for him. I will never be like adam who covered the iniquity of his house.
Job 31:33-34, KJV. ³³If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom: ³⁴Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
WomEn are fond of that. They know their children are erring, but they will not like anybody outside their gate to hear what evils their children are perpetrating. They will sit down on the evils. Tomorrow, they will turn round to blame God.
You cannot blame God for your infidelity. If you lack the courage – the back bone to put your children right in the sight of God, it is because you are a weakling. You have not trusted God. Trust in God and stand in there for the Truth.
Let the rebellious child rebel and then rebel himself out of your sight and out of your enclave.
Just like I am here, l want to see that rebellious child emanating from My Family. l do not pray that there should not be. l want to know who he is. And you will see. l will make him an open spectacle, and everybody will see him. Everybody will see her.
For what l will do is not what l will threaten. l know l have the capacity to do all things, provided God will not say No. l want to see that one, that Absalom. l want to see the Phinehas. l equally want to see that conspiracy between Hophni and also Phinehas, the Sons of Eli who turned out to be children of belial.
Watch the two sons of Moses. Watch the two sons of Samuel. They conspired. The senior and the junior conspired against the Truth, against their father and against the move of God and they took side with their mother.
I am not saying that you should not listen to your mother, but go to the Book of Proverbs and know what God said. “My son, pay heed to the words of your father. Never set aside the good counsel of your mother.”
Proverbs 1:8, AMP. ⁸My son, hear the instruction of your father; reject not nor forsake the teaching of your mother.
Go to the message titled WHO HAS BEEN YOUR COUNSELLOR? Who is your counsellor?
This is because we have some wicked mothers that advise their children to act wickedly, especially unbelieving mothers, churchgoers, and hypocrites among us who cannot stand on their feet and declare their stand.
They compromise with their errant children. Oftentimes, it will be conspiracy against the father. Such errant children will be accusing their father before their mother, and their mother will join hands instead of telling them to shut up their mouth.
The mother will close her mouth, not realizing that the children were not there when she got married to her husband. The children are just the offspring, the product of the family. The product of the union.
When the husband and wife got married, did they marry with children? They were living alone before children came. Why then do you take side with the children, to the neglect of one who brought you out and tied you to himself? And you think he does not mean well?
There is no man who has laboured to raise children who does not mean well for the children. But the children oftentimes get entangled with fraudsters, renegades, and nonentities in the society who spoil their ideologies and philosophies about life.
For there is no way you can wonder away from the family order, without embracing yourself with a destroyer who will destroy your vision, destroy all your plans, and destroy your ambition.
I have My adage which l normally tell My children of which you are one of them. There is no way you can rebel against the family and wonder away without eating pig’s food. You must eat pig’s food.
There is no way you can war with your family and then run away without eating food meant for pigs. you must eat pigs’ food whether you believe it or not.
And the worst thing that will happen to a child is to receive a curse from the father because of upsetting him.
Tell me who will remove that curse till eternity. And that is why many are misbehaving.
Their fathers placed serious curses upon them and died without the children going to their father to make it right. The man left the scene, but the curse now abides on the children.
Coming into contact with Christ would have helped them to get rid of the curse but unfortunately, they turned out to be hypocrites and compromisers of truth.
I thank God for this Family. At least, let Me see one who has come fully out to live for Christ and for Christ alone.
I do not need a befitting burial from My Family or from my children if l die even this morning. If you do not know what to do, do not even waste your money to buy a casket. Throw Me to the nearest dust bin. l will decompose there. Finish!
is there any other thing you are expecting from your children if not a befitting burial? I do not need it. I need a befitting truth. That is what everybody needs. If you do not possess a befitting truth, you do not deserve befitting burial.
LIVE A BEFITTING LIFE OF CHRIST, PROPELLED BY THE BEFITTING TRUTH YOU HAVE. ALL HANDS MUST BE ON DECK TO STAMP OUT EVIL FROM OUR HOMES AS WE WORSHIP GOD AT HOME.
I am not talking to everybody. Remember that whatever I am sayinggoes to the Elect. Those that have vowed a vow never to accommodate anything unbelief in their hearts and in their homes.
Those that have sworn the oath of allegiance and they are in everlasting covenant with God. These are the people I am talking to.

EDUCATION ENLIGHTENS THE MIND

You know I am still making it clear because I am making a tape that I must send to the Almighty God that you are not in the Faith of Christ, even as l speak now.
This Bridal faith, You can be tomorrow. But as far as your manifestations are concerned, you are not in the faith – The Bride of Christ ministry worldwide – the faith the Son of Man is establishing. Your manifestations have run contrary to expectations.
Who among our children can stand up boldly, younger ones to rebuke their seniors this way; to correct them politely this way; look into their eyes and tell them the truth, “My friend stop this nonsense. You cannot subsist or exist at this age without our parents. Who are you? Stop challenging authorities. You cannot have your ways at this age and stand.”
He has clocked thirty. l thank God Who did not make a mistake in his ordination. This is what God is expecting from all of you, not compromising with errant seniors or errant juniors. Condemn it.
Every condemnable act is evil before God. Do not ever take part in unfruitful works of the enemy, but instead, expose it so that the person will feel ashamed of himself, for this is the era of mass dropouts from these schools and colleges.
It is not that there is something meaningful that person is going to do. The only ‘meaningful’ thing is a business that has no location. It is not visible and it is not viable.
A business that has no customer. A business that has no office. It does not have administrative office. It can be administered right from the bed inside the bedroom. Is that a business?
That has become the delight of the youth of our day. And somebody who calls himself a child of God will allow himself to be drawn away by such insinuations. That is a fool of all fools. One that has been taught in the right way, only for him to start misbehaving.
Another one is impatience. Impatience and over ambitiousness among the youths.
Thank God for that professor which we heard about last night. A young professor who became a professor at a tender age. Look at the year he would have been made a professor. 2018. But it lingered till 2021. Was he deterred? Did he withdraw?
No matter how long academics or academic education will take you, it is still shorter than the shortest cut you can get elsewhere to becoming a man.
I say, no matter how long you think you have stayed in the school pursuing vigorously your career, compare it to those people who did not even attempt going anywhere, you will notice that it is still the shortest.
To you, you have stayed long, but to those people out there, what are they? How old are they? How long have they been there?
l know a young man who happens to be my friend at home and we came to Onitsha together. His parents sent him to school, but he refused. He said he was going to do business at Christ church. My children know him.
Then l went to school in 1973. That ’73, he started his apprenticeship where he was doing his business at Christ church. And has been living in that Christ church until only about few years ago when he packed away.
He never exited from living in one room. He married very late. l married before him. He has nothing to boast of. He has changed business several times, but arrived at nothing. Now he is old. He has aged.
I happened to meet him together with My wife, but l could not recognize him again. Openly, he confessed to my wife. He said, “Our wife, l am a living dead. l am a living dead.” He felt ashamed of himself.
So it is with a good number of them who were here before the war. They were in Onitsha before the war, doing their businesses. After the war, they came back to Onitsha and continued doing their business, even up till this day. What have they achieved? Who are they?
I am telling you that the time you think is long, which you are spending in the school, equipping yourself, enriching yourself with knowledge makes your journey through life the shortest. It makes your journey through life the shortest. You touch the sky.
I was having an encounter with a young man who is a medical doctor by profession, but now an international business man. What is he dealing on? He is dealing on tiles, paints and things like that. A medical doctor.
Then l asked him why he did not want to tell Me. He said, “No No No! l achieved that feat for reasons best known to me. But let me tell you the truth. The enlightenment l had in the university is what propelled me to take over this business from my father. And my father felt very happy when l surrendered to this line. Having acquired reasonable education and exposure, l now magnified this business.”
He over-bloated it because he had already acquired the discipline, the knowledge, the intelligence, the foresight, and the business acumen.
He now moved it from street business to international business with offices here in Onitsha, Lagos and Warri. Can you imagine? He can now undertake contracts worth billions which his father could not do because he had limited education.
I do not care the level of apprenticeship. As long as you do not have the academic backing, you are short-sighted. You can never go beyond touting in that business.
There are too many in our midst who are doing touting in business. Why? Because of their low level of education, they could not establish their business firmly.
And they ended it being touts in business, joined the other touts in the business, and they will end it eating, drinking and then attending parties, dressing gorgeously, as if that is what life entails.
Hear me. People that have touched the sky look very simple. If you watch the man who owns this our shopping mall– if he comes in here –you will think he is an apprentice in that shop. Little will you know that he owns almost half of Onitsha.
He is the greatest, but look at his simplicity. He drives himself. He does not have any escort. He moves around with his small sandal and polo. A very simple man, but he is a PhD holder. A Pharmacist.
His first son is a doctor. The second, a Pharmacist. The daughter is about to marry – a pharmacist too. Great minds are coming from the family, but look at the type of business he is doing.
Education enlightens the mind, broadens your vision and your horizon, and you see afar off. Things that trip people do not trip you anymore. You can now define your objectives and add meaning to your life because you have been educated.
That is why l have always told people, “If you think that academic education is valueless go and try ignorance.” Try ignorance which is a deliberate misfortune and a self-inflicted injury.
This is your own era. If you want to be a mechanic, go to school first. You want to be a trader, go to school. Whatever you want to do, first of all, receive reasonable academic back up.
Otherwise, you will end it living from hand to mouth. You will end it as a clerical officer, a secretary to somebody. You can never be an employer. You will be an employee. If you are a graduate, you will be satisfied with forty thousand a month.
By the time you begin to spend the money on your rent and other necessities, you discover that you will be borrowing before the end of the month. You are working and you are borrowing. And that is what William is doing.
He is working. He is earning salary, but he is borrowing because what he is earning cannot sustain him. How can it sustain him, having lived a frivolous life for years, imbibing dangerous habits.
I brought him back while he was wandering away. l brought him back and restored him to his family. I brought him back to the Faith and handed him over to his father to copy the father’s example.
But now, he got a little job in Port Harcourt, and that job has now become his god. He went there thinking that the job was all he needed, only for him to discover now that he deceived himself and that the meagre salary could not even take him home.
The take home pay could not take him home. That is why I ask you the question. You that are looking for take home pay, do you think that that take home pay can take you home?
If you cannot pay your rent and sustain yourself, sustain your future family, has it taken you home? Has it taken you home? So you call it take home pay but l will call it stop-on-the-way salary.
It will park you on the way as a vehicle which spoilt on the way is parked by the road side. So, that take home pay supposedly-called will park you by the road side, brush you aside, and your mates will cross over.
I am encouraging the youths. Let nobody ever discourage you frOM pursuing qualitative education. Everything has failed in promoting the dignity of man through labour, but not education. Education promotes the dignity of man through labour.
There are too many places money can never enter. My late master Ezego 1 of Igboland was always regretting one thing – that he did not go to school. He only ended it in standard six. That was his greatest regret.
He vowed that all his children must have PhD, for he has the money. But unfortunately, the children turned out to be renegades. Although they studied abroad, not even one came back with a Diploma. No certificate.
They only learnt how to spend money. They did not learn how to create money. They learnt how to lavish wealth. They did not learn how to create wealth.
And this is a common feature of all school dropouts. They know how to lavish wealth, but they do not know how to create wealth. And another thing is that they take delight in menial jobs. Menial jobs! Can you imagine?
Somebody came back from London and said that he went there to study, only to be driving one useless commuter bus for daily pay. Why? He came back empty-handed. He went there to learn rough life.
The other one came out from lgbinedion University. From there to Nnamdi Azikiwe University, only to be rusticated because of cultism. What is he doing today? He is roaming about the street in Awada. That is the result.
Things that trip them are trivial things. Things that have no value at all in this our modern time. Why? The emphasis is on making money.
If money is your target, you will miss money. Simply think of what you can do to add value to humanity. Then, money will follow it.
Ignorant people do not add value to the society. Dropouts do not add value to the society. Rather, I call all school dropouts ‘wasted talents’. Wasted talents!
This is because money blinds them from seeing the future. One who is all out for money will always be seeing today. He will not be seeing tomorrow.
If any youth fails in this age, that youth failed himself and not God, for we are here to give you proper counsel and to help you succeed even where we failed.
As a father who laboured, and is still laboring, my prayer is that God will help my children to understand my mission so that they will not labour the way I laboured. They will labour quite all right, but not after my own sort.
Their own should be elevation because they now have better background than Myself which our Brother Joe Ukpong was highlighting in that Message. Our children have better background than us. So, if you fail, blame yourself not God.
All the confidence we have reposed in you, you have disappointed us and that is why it is high time you use this last chance to begin to look at your life critically. God is tired of “I am sorry”. It is not the hour for “l am sorry” again.
We thank God for the way everything has gone. l was determined to put you out. l said that l was determined to put you out, but are you going to be better out there? God said that He brought you back so that you can remain under the Word of God.
Let me believe that there is going to be a change, but I am still saying this, that as at this moment, you are not in the Bridal Faith Ministry, for your manifestations run contrary.
The spirit that is leading the children of God is not the one leading you, for if it is the one, there is no way you will not be able to fit into your own nuclear family.
If you have failed to convince us of your position in Christ as a family, can you deceive The Son of Man?
That is why He spoke to you directly that you have a case to answer.
That is pure truth! Pure Truth! He was telling his father that his target is to become a full-fledge man – a millionaire at a tender age. That is his target. He said that he would not want to waste his time going to school or doing this and that.
How old is he now? But his junior Brother is now a bona fide accountant who has finished his Youth Service. And now he has been engaged in a meaningful work.
He is the one helping the family right now, though the parents are still working industriously. He has joined in lifting up the standard of the living of the family as a responsible child.
But look at the first son who wanted to be a millionaire maybe at the age of two years. He is a loafer. A waster.
HEAR ME VERY WELL. BLIND PURSUIT OF MONEY CRIPPLES LOFTY IDEAS AND CRIPPLES AMBITIONS THAT ARE HONORABLE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD.
l have my reasons why l will not mention names here, but you know many of them who rose from nothing. Even their parents never paid their school fees. They were labouring to pay their own school fees.
From secondary to university, their parents never helped them one bit up till this day. They have never received a single help from their parents but they have touched the sky.
Those who thought they were crazy and said they were indulging in business are still taking food, while these visionary ones have become notable individuals in the sight of God and in the society.
They have become recognizable individuals because that short time they spent in the university changed their entire future. EDUCATION BRIGHTENS YOUR FUTURE.
If you have failed to convince us of your position in Christ as a family, can you deceive The Son of Man?
That is why He spoke to you directly, that you have a case to answer. Was it not enough to tell you that that is the All-seeing eyes [of God]. But like the voice just said before you, you did not even take that voice seriously.
You see! Until you have your personal experience, your own personal experience, you will keep joking with the Almighty God.
The voice has made it clear to you that you have the knowledge because you are brought up in a godly home, just like Hophni and Phinehas were brought up in a godly home, but they did not have the zeal. They did not have the interest. They did not have the enthusiasm to practice what they knew was the Truth.
Who is the voice that you are listening to? Who is the king of your heart?
Something else was informing their decisions contrary to what they were being taught. They did not believe that that one was enough. They did not believe in that one. Their interest was somewhere else.
Hence, they could speak about the truth. They knew their father was a priest, but their life and characteristics ran contrary to that of the children of the Almighty God.
But from that same home, there was a Samuel brought up with the same message and in the same way. He had the knowledge and also had the Zeal. He had the interest and desire to put into practice all that he was taught. And that was what made the difference.
That was why God made it clear that a bad fruit oftentimes can come from a good tree. You are your own personal problem.
Follow me to the Scriptures this hour. l said that God has dedicated this Sunday to us to talk to ourselves as a family and to look at our lives as family. That is why He gave us the Message You are not too far from the Kingdom of Heaven. And He is watching to see what we will do with it.
It is not that you do not know the truth. It is not that you do not know that outside this Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena, The Son of Man, there is no other God. There is none, and you know it. You have believed it. You can preach it.
That is why you are saying that you are in the Faith. “I am in the faith. I am in the faith”, but your manifestations are contrary.
You are still tilting towards the world. You are not tilting towards Christ. A sure sign that your heart is not receptive to the things of God. It is not accepting the Word of God.
Your heart has not become a resting place, for the Word of God. That is why you are working with other information that are influencing your character.

Let Me tell you. The Son of Man can never give us fake information. It is unfortunate that people do not know who I AM. It is very very unfortunate. You do not know who is teaching you. There is no theologian that can give you this Message. And there is no book in the market where you can get this information. The book does not exist. No philosophical book.

BE ON THE ALERT; preached on Sunday 9^th February 2014 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 77 vs. 32 – 33

YOUR JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE HAS A LOT TO SPEAK IN YOUR LIFE

I am starting with Psalm 141:5, AMP. Let the righteous man smite and correct me…..
That is why God has given us an opportunity. I am saying that you should see yourself as a case study here that God is using.
Whenever we are doing a project, l have told you times without number, you always have a sample that is used to represent the population, for you cannot take the entire population but you pick a sample and then use that sample to make your analysis.
And you will see that the analysis represents what is happening in the entire population. The Bride of Christ Ministry right now is this Bishop Ukpong’s family. That is the sample.
And in this family which is the family of God, you are the case study this very moment because the happenings around you are not pleasing to the members of the family and to God, for there is no way we can belong to God and be happy with you, for your characteristics are running contrary to the Faith we profess.
Psalm 141:5. ⁵Let the righteous man smite and correct me–it is a kindness. Oil so choice let not my head refuse or discourage; for even in their evils or calamities shall my prayer continue. [AMP]
Your text is here. l have seen your text. If you are sincere, that is what will be your prayer. Let the righteous man smite me. Listen to the voice of your father, who is not only your father but also a Bishop, a priest of the Most High God.
He has stood here this moment to speak to you. You have been hearing voices. You cannot come out and say that this family has been harbouring you and your crimes. God forbid!
You have been hearing voices. You have been receiving warning signals. You have a mother that has been approved. l mean, who has received the commendation of God. You have a father that have received the recommendation of God. Your family received the backing of God. Why do you want to change the record?
And they have not spared you in all your manifestations because as a spiritual man, you can see the signs around an individual. That it is now finally hitting you does not mean it was seen today. Voices have been roaring, but you have been neglecting those voices.
That is why you are landing where you are landing. It is not the first time we have heard, “I am sorry. I am sorry”. We are not interested in that anymore. This is not the time for “l am sorry”. This is a time for a change of attitude. That is what we are looking for right now.
We are still going forth. I am saying that you should accept the correction God is giving, for this is the only way God can help a man. It is by pointing you back to His Word.
Proverbs 17:10. ¹⁰A reproof enters deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred lashes into a [self-confident] fool.
A seed of God does not need a millennium to run back to God. One single encounter a child of God has is enough to teach him wisdom and bring him back to his senses.
If you are a seed of God– if you did not come from the opposite direction, this simple words of wisdom that are pointing you back to the Word of God is more than enough to make you sit down and think.
But if you are a fool, no matter what will be said, no matter the measures that will be taken against you, you will never change. That is what we are reading.
Nothing is done to make the foolishness in a fool leave him, but to a child of God, once you speak out, he will cry. Why? Because it is not his nature to behave wrongly. Something has influenced him wrongly.
Which one are you? Your manifestations from today will prove it. l said that your manifestations from today will prove it. The Message said that it is the second chance that God is giving all of us and God is giving you. Else you would have been out today. l said today you would have been out.
1 Timothy 5 vs 20-21, GNB. ²⁰Rebuke publicly all those who commit sins, so that the rest may be afraid. ²¹In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the holy angels I solemnly call upon you to obey these instructions without showing any prejudice or favor to anyone in anything you do. At all!
That is why we are standing here today against the evils that are manifesting around you and have been manifesting around you strongly because to be compassionate is to do the will of God.
If there is anything that is displeasing God at this moment, It is the manifestation of families who are condoning the evil characteristics they are seeing in their children.
Nobody is crying out against evil anymore rather, they are supporting it, harbouring it the more and it is breeding. It is breeding to an extent that when it explodes, nobody can stop it.
It will not be this family that will bring a reproach to the Bride of Christ Ministry. And such reproach starts with an individual. Everything starts with an individual.
That was what Pastor Joe Moses was telling me that this situation deserves prayer because it is an individual that changes record. It will not happen in this one.
This family cannot tolerate evil. This family cannot tolerate and harbour iniquity. We must cry out.
That is the word of Pastor Joe Moses of Akwa-Ibom. A youth!
Revelation 3:19, AMP. ¹⁹Those whom I [dearly and tenderly] love, I tell their faults and convict and convince and reprove and chasten [I discipline and instruct them]. …
Those who God loves are those He speaks to. He corrects. He disciplines.
….so be enthusiastic and in earnest and burning with zeal and repent [changing your mind and attitude]
Be enthusiastic. Change your mind and attitude here by what you are hearing this very day. It has been dedicated to you. Let this mark a turning point in your life, for this might be your very last chance.
This might be the very last call, for one attitude cannot keep on occurring and re-occurring in an individual. Something is wrong.
I have seen everything, but I have not seen any spirit in a child of God that is stronger than the Word of God.
I repeat. I have seen everything, but I have not seen any spirit, any manifestation of iniquity, evil or wrong doing in a seed of God that is stronger than the Word of God. Once the Word of God is brought forth, it is a two-edged sword. You see him fall down on his knees.
So, one thing cannot keep on occurring and re-occurring in an individual who is a seed of God. No!
The Scriptures say that a seed of God does not continue in iniquity or in sin. Check his errors. They are mistakes.
The mistake is something that is not pre-meditated. That is what a mistake is. It simply means that you did not sit down and think about it.
But evil is the life you have chosen to live. You know that what you are doing is wrong, and you have hardened your heart against every voice that is speaking against that thing.
You have made up your mind to continue in that particular path. That is not the life of a child of God. It cannot be seen in a seed of God.
I am only summarizing what we have heard. And that is the voice of God passing through His vessel, even the head of this family to speak generally to the family.
Wherever Peace is, she is here. Why? The Message of God in the Book of Galatians chapter 6 in verse 1 says, “When you correct others do so taking care to yourself, lest the same spirit will also perch on you”.
Galatians 6:1, AMP. BRETHREN, IF any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin of any sort, you who are spiritual [who are responsive to and controlled by the Spirit] should set him right and restore and reinstate him, without any sense of superiority and with all gentleness, keeping an attentive eye on yourself, lest you should be tempted also.
So, when we are using William as a case study because of what we have seen manifesting around him, I am also talking to myself. We are also talking to Peace. Daddy is also talking to himself as mummy is also listening and talking to herself so that the same spirit we are trying to pursue from one will not go and perch on another. Amen!
Psalm 39:11, GNB. ¹¹You punish our sins by your rebukes, and like a moth you destroy what we love. …
God punishes our sin by what? Rebuke. He rebukes. As you are hearing it now and as you are receiving it now, let these corrections register in you because if you do not take heed to what we are hearing– you heard from the voice of your mother which is the voice of God that you are heading to destruction. [Sure!!!] That is where you are heading next. You are heading to destruction.
His mother told him the truth. Wander away from the Pathway of life and land in the congregation of the dead. That is Scripture.
Proverbs 21:16, KJV. The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
If you wander away from the pathway of light – the way of Truth, you will land yourself in the assembly and congregation of the dead.
So his mother told him the truth. Even if he likes let him quarrel with the mother, slap the mother, cajole the mother or ridicule the mother, tomorrow he will reap the fruit of his doings. By then, the mother might be somewhere watching him languishing in hell.
There is a way you will conduct your life here and you will make your life here on earth a living hell – a living hell.
Your parents will despise you. Your siblings will despise you. Humanity will despise you because you have landed in the congregation of the living dead.
Then you enjoy a living hell here on Earth. Your hell starts here. Your Heaven starts here. Your journey through life has a lot to speak in your life.
…Let these corrections register in you because if you do not take heed to what you are hearing– you heard from the voice of your mother which is the voice of God, that you are heading to destruction. That is where you are heading next. You are heading to destruction.
This is because there is no man that enters into a confrontational stand with the Almighty that has ever wriggleD out of it. There is no human being.
That is why whenever a seed of God sees Himself in that condition, what does He do? He cries out, for you cannot stand the judgement of God.
For one that has found out that he has a case to answer, l think l will be the most sober fellow. l will be the most careful individual. I will be careful about everything I am doing because l know that God is waiting for me somewhere.
Why not then calm down and ponder on what you have heard from God; from no less a personality than the Almighty Himself.
He is even lucky that he was among those that succeeded in getting The Son of Man online. At least, he knew his fate from that day that he had a case to answer. What about those that tried but did not get the Son of Man online until the day elapsed?
What of those who took it for granted and they never tried His line at all. Do they know their fate? They do not know anything. And they think that God did not know what He did.
Why not then calm down and ponder on what you have heard from God; from no less a personality than the Almighty Himself. You did not hear it from me. You did not hear from your father or anybody, but the Lord God Almighty Himself.
Is that not enough to cause fear in you? Do you have the revelation of the Personality that is talking to you? That is the much l want to say there. I want to be short with all I am doing.
SAD NEWS FROM THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY? I want you to be the one reading. You are not sick from anything as you have heard. Sickness is spiritual. When you are sick spiritually, it will manifest physically.
Nothing is bringing you down than iniquity. William, iniquity has weighed you down for too long and that is why you do not have any glimpse of light in the things of God. It is the burden you have put on yourself because of iniquity, wrong doing, and wrong life.
But just like the Voice keeps saying, “Disobedience will lead you to more disobedience and the farther you will keep drawing away from God.
That is why your relationship with the Brethren is poor. Everything about God in you is poor. Why? Because of iniquity which you have allowed to surround your entire life.
Nobody hears your name, but they hear about your family. Why? Is there any member of The Son Man’s family that you do not hear his name for good as you are hearing about the family?
So if a family is mentioned for good, every individual in that family should be known for good. That is what we are talking about.
Sad news from the Lord God Almighty; Preached on Sunday 19^th July 2020 by THE SON OF MAN; Page 48 verse 38-40. ³⁸MY DUTY AND YOUR DUTY IS TO WEIGH OURSELVES USING THE PARAMETER REVEALED AND KNOW WHETHER YOU ARE MEASURING UP.
Use the parameter revealed and what are we using to measure ourselves? Is it not the Word of God? Use the Word of God revealed to ask yourself the question, “Am I standing in Christ? Are things happening around me a sign that I am in the Faith of Christ? Am I with Christ? Is Christ with me?”
³⁹That is why you must know your status before that day. Do you not know who you are? Do you not know what you are doing? Do you not know what is going on in your heart? Amen!
Do you not know what is happening in your heart, even now as you are hearing the word being spoken? Amen!
⁴⁰I told you l love all of you. I have equal love for everybody, SAD NEWS is what we are considering this morning. Amen!
SAD NEWS: Page 67 verse 5-8. ⁵AND GOD SAID, “A TRUE SEED OF GOD DOES NOT HAVE DIFFICULTY IN OBEYING GOD. OBEDIENCE IS A WAY OF LIFE. IT IS NATURAL. …
What is the sad news? A profane useless fellow, a mean person to be found in the family of God. A profane person, a renegade to be found in the land of uprightness. It is an abomination of all abominations. Why must it be you? Why must it be me?
Obedience is a way of life. It is natural. a true seed of God should not have problem obeying God. Why should it be difficult for you to condescend to the things of God?
You have heard the testimony that you are one that was brought up in the ways of God from infancy. You were raised in Christ. You were brought up knowing the things of God.
If you are a seed of God, what is so hard in condescending to those things? Why can you not fit into the very family you came out from – the family that bore you? Is something not wrong somewhere.
A seed of God should not be struggling with the Faith. He should not be struggling with the things of God or struggling to keep pace with Christ. It is not for a seed of God.
⁵AND GOD SAID, “A TRUE SEED OF GOD DOES NOT HAVE DIFFICULTY IN OBEYING GOD. OBEDIENCE IS A WAY OF LIFE. IT IS NATURAL, inherent and in-born. Nobody teaches a child of God how to obey his father [Sure!!!] IT IS IN-BORN.
⁶Just like you are here shouting Amen. How can I teach you to obey me? …
That is it. Why should your father be crying for you to harken to his voice? You came out of his loins. You should manifest His characteristics. You should manifest the characteristics of your mother.
Where can we trace your own to? Is it from your father? Is it from your mother? Where do you trace these characteristics to? Is it their voice? Is it what they are encouraging you to do? Can you be doing what they are encouraging you to do and they are still talking against you?
⁶Just like you are here shouting Amen. How can I teach you to obey me? Nature teaches that you must obey me. No arguments. … Simple! Nature! …Do you have any other source of existence? From where did you come into this life? Who is sustaining you?
Who bears all your problems? Who bears all your burden? Where are the friends that have led you to so many errors in your life? Where are those you followed to go astray? They have left you, but your family is still with you.
In all your troubles, your family is the one harbouring you. Your family is the one succouring you and striving to see how they can restore and reform you. Where are others? What is so difficult in cooperating with your family or with your parents?
⁶…Do you have any other source of existence? From where did you come into this life? Who is sustaining you? Who IS nurturing you?
⁷And somebody will tell you that He that brought you into existence, nurturing and is still nurturing you does not mean well for you, and you believe it.
Is it possible that somebody out there is giving or teaching you things that are contrary to the one your parents are giving you, and that is the one you desire to hold on to? That is the one that is influencing all your characteristics, and not the one your parents are saying because you do not feel that your parents who bore you mean well for you? And you believe it?
⁸If somebody will tell you that He does not mean well to you and that He is spoiling you, let Him spoil you. I WILL LIKE GOD TO SPOIL ME INSTEAD OF THE DEVIL TO PRAISE ME. Amen! [Yes!]
