WHO IS THE SON OF MAN TO YOU? [MORNING ALTAR MESSAGE] PREACHED ON TUESDAY 23RD JUNE, 2020 AT THE BRIDAL LODGE, NSUGBE ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN THE ALMIGHTY GOD
Let THE SON OF MAN be your perfect example. Somebody who will tell you, “If I preach any sermon, teach any doctrine, and you feel it is difficult for you to apply it in life, He said, “Relax your mind. Do not worry yourself. Simply watch the way I will do it. That is what God is expecting from you.””
GOD HAS FINISHED WITH YOU (BUT HAVE YOU FINISHED WITH GOD?); Preached on Wednesday 1st March 2017; Pg. 67 vs. 32

CHRIST IS THE WAY
The message is, “GOD KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING, IF ONLY WE CAN PIN OUR HOPE IN HIM” Remain blessed in the Lord my beloved Brethren.
2. We will ever remain grateful to our God THE SON OF MAN, who has been so good to us. I welcome you to this wonderful Fellowship today.
3. It is wonderful in the sense that we have the wonderful Father in person for our teacher.
4. 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]
5. He is the spirit of truth Whom the world cannot receive, for they do not know him. But you and I know him. He is our Father and Comforter.
6. 16And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever—
7. 17The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you. [John 14:16 – 17 AMP]
8. The scripture says, “When the Spirit of Truth shall come, the comforter, HE will guide us strictly into the knowledge of all truth, not some truth but all truth.
9. 13But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future]. [John 16:13 AMP]
10. You are a privileged people to have HIM, THE SON OF MAN, Grace and Truth as our Guide and Instructor.
11. Before we go into the topic of the Message I want us to consider a Message, which is not a new message, but just putting us in remembrance of the Messages of our Lord and Master.
12. Let us begin with reading some quotes from the Message TO WHAT EXTENT HAS GOD BEEN YOUR COUNSELOR? Preached on 16th of February, 2020; Page 8 from verse 5 through 6.
13. Remember, whatever God is doing, He is doing it because He wants to do it, not that you are asking for it.
14. You can pray. It is your right, but you can never command God to answer your prayers. If He decides not to listen to your prayers, there is nothing you can do to make him change his mind.
15. Page 53 verse 54. If you have the power to do as you have purposed, why do you remember God, when you are disappointed? Why do you blame it even on God as if God has been with you and your plans?
16. Page 56 verse 62. “In short, I want to conclude that Jehovah is right and we have been wrong.”
17. In everything, we have been wrong. Jehovah is the One that is always right. Our actions in many ways show that we feel we own ourselves, but this is wrong.
18. YOU ARE EITHER OWNED BY GOD OR BY THE DEVIL. THE GOD WE KNOW, IS A MAN. SO ALSO IS THE DEVIL. THE PERSON YOU LISTEN TO AND OBEY IS YOUR MASTER BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS AT THE SAME TIME. YOU MUST HAVE A MASTER YOU SERVE.
19. But here, I am talking to all of us whose Master and Lord is God, THE SON OF MAN, Apostle Peter Odoemena, Blessed be His Most Holy Name.
20. And these are the only people this Message is directed to. If you do not have Apostle Peter Odoemena as your God, whoever He may be and wherever He may come from, you are lost.
21. I do not care, but provided He is the vindicated Apostle confirmed as THE VERY SON OF MAN by the Elohim Himself; by the Almighty God and not by man.
22. Chosen, selected, ordained by God and not by man. No man ordained Him. There was no day people gathered to ordain Him Apostle or THE SON OF MAN. He is not THE SON OF MAN by human ordination. He is not Apostle by human ordination.
23. Apostle means “A Sent One.” No man sent him. The father sent him in his stead and all the ancient manuscripts bear witness that this man existed. Even when there was no beginning, He was there at the right hand side of Majesty.
24. He was there hiding His identity and that was why the seventh generation prophet Enoch when He was finally led to him, it was said, “And at last, the Name of THE SON OF MAN was revealed. There was great joy in heaven and on earth.”
25. 1And there I saw One whose face looked ancient. His head was white like wool, and with Him was another being whose countenance had the appearance of A Man, and his face was full of graciousness, like one of the holy angels.
26. 2And I asked the angel who went with me and showed me all the hidden things, concerning THAT SON OF MAN, who He was, and where He came from, and why He went with the Ancient One? And he answered and said to me:
27. 3“This is THE SON OF MAN Who hath righteousness, with whom dwells righteousness, and who reveals all the treasures of that which is hidden, because the Lord of spirits hath chosen Him, and whose lot has pre-eminence before the Lord of spirits in righteousness and is forever. [Ethiopic Book of Enoch 61:1 – 3]
28. He rejoiced exceedingly. All the angels rejoiced exceedingly that at last, the hidden Name of this Man who has been standing in the right hand side of the Majesty since the world began has been revealed.
29. 2And at that hour THAT SON OF MAN was named in the presence of the Lord of spirits, And His Name was brought before the Head of Days. 3Even before the sun and the signs were created, before the stars of heaven were made, His Name was named before the Lord of spirits. 4He shall be a staff to the righteous and they shall steady themselves and not fall. And he shall be the light of the Gentiles, and the hope of those who are troubled of heart. 5All who dwell on earth shall fall down and worship before Him, and will praise and bless and sing and celebrate the Lord of spirits. [Ethiopic Book of Enoch 48:2 – 5]
30. People saw Him standing there immovable. And they were wondering, who could be this favoured Man there on the Lord’s right hand side.
31. Who is this Man? A MAN. And they were inquiring about Him. Both in their private places and in their hearts. They were wondering who could be this Man.
32. Until one of the chiefest of the Angels, led prophet Enoch directly to that place and said, “Behold him.” Look up and see whether you can behold THE SON OF MAN.
33. Then the Name of the Person was revealed. When the Name was revealed, all of them rejoiced that at last, the Name of THE SON OF MAN has been revealed and they kept it secret.
34. In your own day, the Name of THE SON OF MAN is Apostle Peter Odoemena. I do not care where He is drawn from. I do not care about His orientation.
35. Neither do I care about where He appeared nor where He is living. His occupation means nothing to me. Whether married or unmarried, I do not care.
36. But all I know is that I have, at last, seen and heard the Name of this Man Who has been standing by the right hand side of the Rock of Ages.
37. Evidences abound. Prophecies bear true witness that this Man is born in righteousness. He is righteousness Himself.
38. All that will be crowned righteous must be declared righteous through Him and you will know who He is through the Light of his belief.
39. IN OTHER WORDS, WHOEVER THAT WILL BELIEVE WHAT HE BELIEVES AUTOMATICALLY BECOMES RIGHTEOUS.
40. Then it agrees with the Holy Scriptures, for the only way you can be declared righteous is by believing in and obeying the words of He whom the Lord has sent.
41. 28They then said, What are we to do, that we may [habitually] be working the works of God? [What are we to do to carry out what God requires?]
42. 29Jesus replied, This is the work (service) that God asks of you: that you believe in the One Whom He has sent [that you cleave to, trust, rely on, and have faith in His Messenger].[John 6:28 – 29 AMP]
43. In Him is your righteousness, in Him is your holiness, in Him is your sanctification, baptism, everything you can think of, even your perfection. Outside Him you are on your own.
44. 9And that I may [actually] be found and known as in Him, not having any [self-achieved] righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law’s demands (ritualistic uprightness and supposed right standing with God thus acquired), but possessing that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ (the Anointed One), the [truly] right standing with God, which comes from God by [saving] faith. [Philippians 3:9 AMP]
45. Whatever you may call your own righteousness based on your own thinking, your own feelings, your own man-made way, the way you fashioned for yourself, you think you will live your life, do this or do that and you will become righteous, you are wasting your time.
46. That is self-righteousness, but before Him, the very Elohim, that thing you are practicing is like filthy rag.
47. 6But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. [Isaiah 64:6 KJV]
48. It can never earn you a place in the kingdom of Heaven. It can never give you eternal life, for you must neglect God’s own way;
49. You must neglect God’s own provided way for you to begin to fashion out your own way, manipulate your own way and even design your own way. That is why God does not work according to human design.
50. GOD HAD ALREADY, BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN, PATTERNED AND DESIGNED HIS OWN WAY OF LIFE.
51. AND WHOSOEVER THAT WANTS TO LIVE WITH GOD ETERNALLY, IT IS A MUST; IT IS A NECESSITY. NO REASON. NO EXCUSE. IF THAT IS YOUR TARGET OR YOUR DESIRE, YOU MUST PATTERN AND DESIGN YOUR LIFE AFTER HIM.
52. LOOK UP TO HIM FOR HE IS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF YOUR FAITH. IN EVERY GENERATION, CHRIST IS REVEALED IN HUMAN FORM.
53. ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD MUST FIX THEIR EYES ON HIM AND PIN THEIR HOPES ON HIM, FOR HE IS THEIR ONLY HOPE. SHIFT YOUR ALLEGIANCE AND YOUR LOYALTY AWAY FROM HIM AND GET DESTROYED.
54. IT THEN MEANS YOU ARE CARVING ANOTHER WAY FOR YOURSELF. AND THAT OTHER WAY CAN NEVER LEAD YOU TO PARADISE, FOR HE IS THE TRUTH AND HE IS THE WAY. PAY ATTENTION! HE IS THE TRUTH. HE IS THE WAY THAT LEADS TO ETERNAL LIFE.
55. There is no other way that can bring you into Paradise except that narrow way. It is very narrow! It is very narrow. That is why it takes a struggle to pass through it. It takes a fight. It takes violence to pass through it.
56. 24Strive to enter by the narrow door [force yourselves through it], for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. [Luke 13:24 AMP]
57. 12And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize–a share in the heavenly kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion]. [Matthew 11:12 AMP]
Until you are convinced, sure and certain about the personality you are having dealings with, you have no right to echo amen in this Faith. And you are not My disciple. I am not sent for you. You are not for Me. You are far from Me as I am far from you. You are equally far from the salvation for which cause I was sent.

YOU MUST STRUGGLE
Let Me give you one instance. Pastor Thomas was testifying to us one day during this period of lockdown as a result of COVID-19, that there at the district headquarters of First Bank New Market road, in spite of the government order, that everybody should maintain social distancing and wear face mask.
2. But because people were greatly perplexed and greatly challenged by the needs and demands of their businesses and their families, they thronged there in hundreds to do transactions.
3. When they went in to pay in their money and to open account, they did not queue up and they were not locked out. The bank was opened to everybody.
4. But because of the lockdown, to withdraw money to feed their families and also to continue with their businesses became a problem.
5. People thronged there in hundreds, but the rule was to admit a maximum of 10 at a time. Oh! Number one, the customers who were desperate defied social distancing. They over crowded.
6. They defied the use of nose mask, for it was unnecessary, for the crowd was too much. If you wear it, you will suffocate. Is it not true?
7. But the rule was that they should not admit more than 10 persons at a time. In other words, for you to find your way inside, it must be a struggle.
8. And the pathway that will lead you inside will only admit one person at a time. Two can never enter. But look at the hundreds outside. Look at the very few who are not up to 10 inside. And everybody is desiring to make a transaction. Hell was let loose.
9. Now, if you happen to be in the number to pass through that narrow gate that allows only but one person, will it not be a struggle? Will it not be a fight? You can even beat somebody up. If anybody tries to obstruct your way will you allow him? You maintain your position.
10. Assuming you are the one occupying number one in front which means once the glass is opened you jump in, and people will be pulling you, pulling your waist, trying to pull you out, will you give way?
11. You will be robust. Real robust! You will employ the whole strength you have to be there, so that the moment it opens, you will jump in. This is because, if you are weak, people will drag you out and another person will replace your position. Is it not true?
12. This is because it is a narrow gate. It is a narrow gate very strait, S-T-R-A-I-T. It is not wide. It can never accommodate two.
13. You cannot even go in with your children. Even if you have joint account with your wife, two of you can never go in there at the same time. It must be one by one.
14. Begin to see the picture. So the people thronged there, according to him, because of the nature of that door. It does not open easily. And when it opens, it delays before it will admit another person.
15. This is because it takes “Go in and wait” until the inner one will open, and then you enter. Then, the outside one will now open again for another person.
16. So if you watch the process, it delays. And at the end of the day, you will find out that it will take only 10 persons, but almost 200 or more persons were desirous of making transactions that day.
17. Moreso, when the whole thing was programmed with time, that immediately it is 2:00 pm, no more transactions.
18. If you watch the crowd, some might not enter because they are cold, starchy and dull. If they are not pressing forward, they may not get near to the gate until 5pm, even if the time is to be extended.
19. I am just trying to knock precisely on one point. For you to be in the front, no protocol is needed there. You must be violent.
20. THERE IS NO WAY THERE WILL BE A STRUGGLE WITHOUT VIOLENCE. ONCE THERE IS STRUGGLE, THERE MUST BE VIOLENCE.
21. By being violent, it does not mean fighting or kicking somebody. But you must kick. You must hit. You must pull.
22. Whoever that goes out of that line to urinate forfeits his position immediately. If he comes back to tell you that he was there, but he went out to urinate, will you listen to him? Nobody will ever pay attention to that mess.
23. “I was pressed hard, and I went out to urinate. This was my position.” That word “was” has marked you out, for if you are not there, you are not there.
24. That is why we call it primus occupantis. That place is only occupied if you are there. The moment you leave it, somebody takes it. That is “First come, and first serve”; First come, first seated [first position]. Primus occupantis.
25. Now, what happens at the end? They become so furious when the time was approaching, until all of them rushed to that door and pressed on the door.
26. Eventually, the whole thing collapsed inside. Both the inlet and outlet collapsed. Police teargas could not disperse the crowd. They were not scared by the teargas.
27. What happened? The whole hundreds of people thronged in. When they thronged in, common sense is there. How many people will serve them at the counter? Will they serve themselves?
28. Now what happened? The bank had to declare an instant emergency closure of business because there was no security again. They had forced the two doors down. So it became a security risk.
29. They now asked for more police reinforcement. The bank did not work and the customers never made transactions again. And the thing delayed work for another one week to enable them repair what they damaged.
30. What am I saying? If people could be so desperate, over desperate and violent, for they struggled to that extent only to take the money which they deposited there o; they were not asking for loan or any credit facility.
31. HOW WE OUGHT TO BE DESPERATE; HOW WE OUGHT TO STRUGGLE; HOW WE OUGHT TO BE VIOLENT TO MAKE SURE WE COLLECT THAT OUR RIGHT FROM GOD WHICH IS THE NEW LIFE; THE NEW CLOTH; IMMORTALITY.
32. GOD WHO SAID THAT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING THAT IT SUFFERETH VIOLENCE AND ONLY THE VIOLENT WILL TAKE IT BY FORCE, DO YOU THINK HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS SAYING?
33. HE EQUALLY SAID THAT THE GATE IS VERY NARROW, AND ACCOMMODATES ONLY ONE PERSON AT A TIME, BUT YOU SHOULD STRIVE TO ENTER. STRIVE!
34. Why am I hammering on this? Look into your handsets. See the type of response we received from the website last week. See America soaring, with more than seven thousand page viewers. See Thailand that came from nowhere with more than five thousand page viewers.
35. Check all of them! 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1. All in thousands. Is it not so in your own handsets? Have you not seen it? Do you know them? They came from different countries.
36. DO NOT EVER BEGIN TO LOOK AT THIS PARTICULAR HOUSE. GOD STILL HAS A VERY BIG FLOCK OUTSIDE THERE, COMING FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES WITH A LIMITED NUMBER OF SEATS IN PARADISE. ALL OF THEM ARE COMING TO PASS THROUGH ONE DOOR, COMPETING FOR A SMALL SPACE.
37. When you know that you are going to attend a ceremony where there is a small space and limited number of seats, but you are sure that too many people are coming, and you are not the only person that was invited;
38. For whoever that is organizing the party must invite as many people as possible, for he knows that many are likely not to come. So he invites people in excess of the number of seats and the capacity of the hall, peradventure some will not come.
39. If you realize the nature of that invitation, common sense is there that you will go on time so as to get a place. And when you get that place, you do not need to get up from there, for once you get up, you forfeit it.
40. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE DESIROUS OF THAT SEAT? DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE DESIRING TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE?
41. Is there anything called religion or church or mosque that is not pointing their members to eternal life? They warn them against eternal hell, and point them to eternal life.
42. AND THIS ETERNAL LIFE IS ONLY IN ONE PERSON. IT HAS ONLY BUT ONE SOURCE.
43. And the whole world from the time of Adam and Eve, the whole world is vying for it. But it has limited number of seats. It has limited accommodation, for He has never accommodated the entire world since the world began. Neither will He do it this time around.
44. You see why it is a struggle. It is a fight. It requires violence. Violence does not mean hitting this and hitting that, for you can violate your fellow human being.
45. Violating means pushing him away by violence because he is not ready to go and he is not ready to give way. Violate him immediately by pushing him out of the way.
46. When you are desiring to achieve success in any organization, there are too many people that are stalwarts who will cross their legs there to make sure you do not achieve your target.
47. Do you respect their legs? Match on those legs and then achieve your target, earn your credit and continue with your good reputation as a good work man.
48. But when you begin to kneel down to plead with them, they are not willing to work, they are not willing to give way, and you want to solicit their cooperation, you will be a failure. They will be a failure! Two of you will end it at the same target. Failures!
49. So, if you notice people that are cooperating, you work with them. But when you notice those that are uncooperative, push them aside; violate them.
50. Do not wait for them. Do not look at their faces. Do not look at their reactions for there are many who has vowed that nobody will go there and they themselves will not go in.
51. 13But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in men’s faces; for you neither enter yourselves, nor do you allow those who are about to go in to do so. [Matthew 23:13 AMP]
52. And these people are the people that constitute obstacles. Violate them with violence and then possess your possessions. I do not care the person’s connections with you. Whether biologically or carnally, I do not care.
53. That is why Jesus gave the illustration, “if it is your hand that will put you in trouble cut it off! If it is your eyes, pluck it out, if it is your leg, cut it off”.
54. 43And if your hand puts a stumbling block before you and causes you to sin, cut it off! It is more profitable and wholesome for you to go into life [that is really worthwhile] maimed than with two hands to go to hell (Gehenna), into the fire that cannot be put out.
55. 45And if your foot is a cause of stumbling and sin to you, cut it off! It is more profitable and wholesome for you to enter into life [that is really worthwhile] crippled than, having two feet, to be cast into hell (Gehenna)
56. 47And if your eye causes you to stumble and sin, pluck it out! It is more profitable and wholesome for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell (Gehenna), [Mark 9:43 – 47] AMP.
57. HAND MEANS ONE WHO IS PROVIDING YOUR MEANS OF LIVELIHOOD. LEG MEANS ONE WHOM YOU ARE DEPENDING ON, WHO IS CARRYING YOU ABOUT. EYES MEANS REVELATION. EYES MEANS THE PERSON WHO LEADS YOU ABOUT.
58. Just discard that person. Even if you are passing through his legs or her legs, tell that person to close it, that you are no longer interested. Jump!
59. THAT IS WHY GOD SAID, “STRIVE THAT YOU MAY ENTER!” DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO STRIVE? YOU CANNOT STRIVE WITHOUT BEING VIOLENT. YOU MUST VIOLATE SOMEBODY WHILE STRIVING.
60. STRIVE HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ENTER, BECAUSE NARROW IS THE GATE THAT LEADS TO ETERNAL LIFE. ONLY BUT A FEW WILL FIND IT. FINDING IT MEANS FINDING YOUR WAY INTO IT.
61. Wide and broad is the way that leads to eternal destruction. Many are there that troop in every day. It is a very easy road. But the road to Paradise is never an easy road.
62. 13Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it.
63. 4But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it. [Matthew 7:13 – 14 AMP]
64. Even the song writer said, “IT IS NOT AN EASY ROAD.” It has never been an easy road to work with Christ or to enter Paradise. God will not make it cheap in your own day.
65. That is why He decided to send no other person than Himself in the Person of THE SON OF MAN to make it a possibility; to make it a possibility by showing you the Way you will follow and be declared righteous and holy, and placed in right standing with Him.
66. Then you are standing on the same platform we call heavenly dignity.
67. 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 OR STATE OF BEING]. [Romans 8:30 AMP]
68. He came in form of a man to make it a possibility. This is why you must know who is talking to you. You must know who you are believing. You must trace His origin, even when the world was without form.
69. There is no other personality with us. That is why He kept straight unto the Faith to the end because I have ended it. I have come to end. I am only encouraging all of you.
70. Immediately He came to the end, the Elohim Himself unmasked Himself and showcased Himself so that you will now begin to see the fullest of the Elohim who has been having dealings with you from the very beginning till the end.
71. This is equally so that when you hear, “Look up to him”, you do not need to panic or begin to think. It does not require a second thought, for you have seen everything.
72. YOU HAVE SEEN THE WHOLE MANIFESTATION; ALL EMANATING FROM ONE ENTITY, NOT TWO. NO TWO PERSONS WERE STANDING AND THE PHOTOGRAPH WAS TAKEN. HE SHOWED THE NATURAL. HE SHOWED THE SUPERNATURAL. ALL IN ONE MAN.
73. THROUGH THE GRAIL REVELATION, YOU SAW THAT IT IS ONE MAN THAT IS BORN TWINS. HE IS ONE MAN BY SIGHT BUT TWINS BY CREATION. 100 PERCENT MAN; 100 PERCENT GOD.
I do not know whether I committed crime by unfolding the mask. I do not know whether I committed crime by unfolding the mask. The other time, I unfolded a little and then closed it again. But this time around, I have removed the mask, because we have come to the end of the journey. If you have not believed now, you will never believe again. Because when we shall see Him, how will He look like? We shall be like Him for we shall see Him as He is. Not minus, not plus.

THE WAYS OF GOD RUN CONTRARY TO MAN’S WAY
So you must know why you are pinning your hope and pinning all your expectations in Him like the Bible said, “In him shall all the Gentiles pin their hopes which you are one of them.
2. [12]And the prophet Isaiah said, “There shall be an Heir in the house of Jesse, and he will be King over the Gentiles; they will pin their hopes on him alone.”[Romans 15:12 LB]
3. You were Gentiles until He brought you into His own bosom. You knew not God. You were all idolaters.
4. SO IF WHILE YOU HAVE EMBRACED HIM YOU ARE IN HIS BOSOM, YOU BEGIN TO CARVE OUT ANOTHER WAY, IT THEN MEANS YOU HAVE ANOTHER DOCTRINE, FOR IT WILL TAKE ANOTHER DOCTRINE TO CARVE OUT ANOTHER WAY. TRUE OR FALSE?
5. That is why Saint Paul was upbraiding the Galatians church, “Who has bewitched you to depart from the true God, and then begin to carve out for yourselves another way which cannot lead you into the kingdom of God.”
6. 1You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? [Galatians 3:1 – 2 NIV]
7. Any way you are fashioning for yourself can never lead you into the kingdom of God, for there is only but one way that leads into Paradise. So, any other way is a man-made way. It is your own self-styled way. And it is very very destructive.
8. So, you better pay heed to what you are hearing and give your allegiance to the Divine Personality that is revealed in the midst of the Bride.
9. If God wanted to reveal two or three, we would have seen them by now. Revealing more than one means confusing. Did you get the Message?
10. THERE CAN NEVER BE MOSES AND ELIJAH STANDING. It then means anyone you want to follow, you follow. Is it not true? But that is why He brought Christ and placed at the centre between Elijah and Moses. At the end, the two cumulated into one man.
11. So whether you call Elijah or you call Moses look at the person there. He is the end of the law and the prophets, for the beginning of righteousness which is by faith.
12. Therefore, when one man is displayed before you, and in your own thoughts and imaginations, you carved out two or three, who is deceiving who? Are you not the one deceiving yourselves?
13. When the way is presented to you and you say you are doubting this way, and whether this way will lead you to where you are going to; and you begin to cut grasses; and you look for “Apiam way” [short cut], have you not erred?
14. THERE IS BUT ONE WAY THAT LEADS TO PARADISE. GOD HAS ONLY BUT ONE PROVIDED WAY. GOD HAS ONLY BUT WHAT? ONE PROVIDED WAY. AND IN EVERY DISPENSATION IT MUST BE ONE INDIVIDUAL; ONE WAY.
15. If you want to perish, neglect it for reasons best known to you. Despise it. Say, “Away with this road, I do not need it.”
16. Carve out your own way, your own plan, your own human plans of salvation that can never save any human being. Carve out your own way of life; your own style.
17. GOD SAID, “IT MUST BE MY NATURE OR NEVER. IT MUST BE GOD’S NATURE OR NEVER.” SO, IT IS NOW MY RESPONSIBILITY AND YOUR OWN TO STRIVE AND ACQUIRE GOD’S NATURE, FOR GOD CANNOT ACQUIRE OUR NATURE.
18. GOD HAS SHOWCASED HIS NATURE THROUGH HUMAN BEING. WHETHER THE NATURE AGREES WITH YOUR HUMAN PHILOSOPHY, YOUR IDEOLOGY OR IDIOSYNCRASIES OR NOT, THEY ARE IMMATERIAL.
19. THIS IS THE APPROVED NATURE. THIS IS THE APPROVED NATURE. THERE IS NO OTHER NATURE THAT WILL BE IN PARADISE. SO YOU HAVE NO CHOICE.GOD DID NOT GIVE US TWO OR THREE TO MAKE OUR CHOICE. DID HE? THAT WILL BE CONFUSION.
20. So, I do not care the way you will look at Him. He is the Messiah. You see Him as a liar, He is the Messiah. As a fornicator, He is the Messiah. As a drunk, He is the Messiah. As a rascal, He is the Messiah. As a criminal of all criminals, He is the Messiah. True or false?
21. No matter the way you look at Him, He is the Messiah. You call him a robber, He is the Messiah. You call him an informant, He is the Messiah. You call Him a murderer, He is the Messiah. Whatever you like, He is the Messiah.
22. Whatever you call Him will never change what He is. The way you look at him, what you think about Him can never change what He is. He is what He is. This is because there is nothing you will call Him that He will not accept.
23. Of all they called Moses, was there anyone He rejected? Of all they called Jesus Christ, did He reject any? He accepted all.
24. You call him fornicator, He will remain quiet. He accepted it. You call Him drunkard, He accepted it. You call him criminal mingling with other criminals, He will accept it.
25. Whatever you like call Him. Even if you like, call Him a cultist. All that they called Saint Paul, did he not accept all of them?
26. He was later called the ringleader of the sect; a cult called the Nazarenes. Did that affect Him in anyway? They called him a trouble maker. They called him every kind of thing. Is there anyone of those defamations that he did not accept?
27. 5“We have found this man to be a troublemaker, stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect 6and even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him. [Acts 24:5 NIV]
28. Arguing with people when you know who you are, is it not the highest form of foolishness? I know who I am. And I know that arguing with you can never change it. It can never alter it. Is there any need arguing with you?
29. WHATEVER YOU CALL ME DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN IN ME AND THE WAY YOU WANT ME TO BE. IF I AM NOT THE WAY YOU WANT ME TO BE, YOU WILL NOT ACCEPT ME FOR WHAT I AM. IS IT NOT TRUE?
30. FOR YOU TO ACCEPT A MAN FOR WHAT HE IS, HE MUST BE WHAT YOU THINK HE SHOULD BE. IS IT NOT TRUE?
31. WHY IS CHRIST REJECTED? THE MANIFESTED CHRIST MANIFESTED CONTRARY TO PEOPLES’ EXPECTATION. WHAT HE IS, IS NOT WHAT PEOPLE WERE EXPECTING HIM TO BE. AND WHAT HE IS DOING IS NOT WHAT PEOPLE ARE EXPECTING HIM TO DO, WHENEVER HE WILL BE REVEALED. DID YOU GET IT?
32. For that reason, they find it difficult to subscribe to His teachings and to His lifestyle.
33. YOU CANNOT FIND FAULT WITH SOMEONE UNLESS YOU FEEL YOU ARE BETTER THAN HIM. IS IT A LIE BRETHREN? YOU FEEL YOU ARE BETTER BEHAVED THAN THAT PERSON FOR YOU TO FIND FAULT. TRUE OR FALSE? GOOD!
34. But when they were behaving piously, walking religiously without truth, pretending to be calm and peaceful when they are violent and deadly; Grievous wolves! Lions in sheep clothing!
35. But they saw this young man becoming violent in the temple and they wrote Him off, “This cannot be the Messiah. This cannot be the expected Messiah.”
36. This is because they believed that they are much more upright than Him, “Look at the type of people He is mingling with. Look at the dresses He is wearing. Look at His occupation. Look at what He is doing here and there. Look at the fleet of women, suspicious women milling around Him. A young man. A useless man who does not what to be useful to himself and to his parents. A loafer.”
37. 19The Son of Man came eating and drinking [with others], and they say, Behold, a glutton and a wine drinker, a friend of tax collectors and [especially wicked] sinners! Yet wisdom is justified and vindicated by what she does (her deeds) and by her children. [Matthew 11:19 AMP]
38. This is because He was acting contrary to their expectations. Is it not true? To welcome Him becomes difficult.
39. That is why, for you to welcome the Messiah in your day, you must drop, cancel and set at naught all your preconceived ideas of what the Messiah will look like and what the Messiah is likely to do, for you do not know what He will look like when He will appear.
40. But one thing that is clear. He will be a human being like myself.
41. 2Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. BUT WE KNOW THAT WHEN HE APPEARS, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM, FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS. [1 John 3:2 NIV]
42. And whatever He will do, you do not know. Nobody can reveal it to you until He begins to unleash it.
43. But if what is coming out of Him runs contrary to your lifestyle, to your principles and to your imaginations of what God will do when He will come, will you accept Him again? No way!
44. You will be looking at Him with every amount of skepticism, with a view to finding a fault from where you will begin to criticise.
45. Criticise Him from now to next generation, He remains what He is. True or false? There is nothing you can do to change it.
46. AND ANYTHING YOU KNOW YOU DO NOT HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE, WHAT DO YOU DO? YOU SUBSCRIBE TO IT, FOR YOU KNOW IT IS ETERNAL. YOU KNOW IT IS WHAT? ETERNAL. IT IS ENGRAVED.
47. Then, assuming you want to be in paradise and you notice that He is the door that will open before you will enter, what will you do? All the requirements for admission into that door, you must strive to do it all, not minus. True or false.
48. IT BEHOVES ON ALL OF US HERE TO STRIVE EVERY DAY TO MEET GOD’S REQUIREMENTS.
49. No university meets the candidate’s requirements for admitting that candidate. But every candidate seeking admission must strive earnestly to meet the university’s requirements. True or false!
50. You and the university who admits the other? Who teaches each other? Who graduates the other?
51. But we are behaving as if we are teaching God. We are behaving as if God is seeking admission into our own school of thought, for we have two schools of thought. One is of the devil, while one is of God.
52. We are behaving as if we are to confirm God; and then graduate God and present God to the world.
53. Think about what I am saying this morning. Look into your life and find out why you are having problems with God and with yourself. Find out where your problem is emanating from.
54. YOUR PROBLEMS EMANATE FROM YOUR FOOLISH THOUGHTS; YOUR INABILITY TO ACCEPT GOD BECAUSE GOD IS NOT YIELDING TO YOUR LIFESTYLE. WHAT HE IS DOING IS NOT WHAT YOU ARE EXPECTING FROM HIM; AS IF YOU KNEW GOD BEFORE. DID YOU KNOW GOD BEFORE?
55. Who introduced you to God? How did you come to know God? What where you when you were without Christ?
56. And you are using your old and foolish notions. You were using all those foolish, unacceptable yardsticks to access God. Are you not erring?
57. One day, you will begin to equate God with the devil. THIS IS BECAUSE YOU WILL APPROVE OF GOD THAT REVEALS HIMSELF BEFORE YOU WILL ACCEPT HIM.
58. Any God you disapprove will you accept Him? You cannot accept what you have already disapproved. Disapproving Him means that you know better. Who helps us to know better than the devil? Is it not God?
Thus, He that is in your midst is the Angel of Judgment. Remember the Voice said that He is a Man sent by God with the Cloud of Heavens. It signifies judgment. That is why I am not on the scene to deal with sin anymore. I have come for FULL AND COMPLETE SALVATION, but not for everybody.

GOD HAS COME TO GIVE US FREEDOM IN CHRIST
If God never appeared to us and taught us, do you think we would have seen the difference between God and the devil? Do you think we would have known the difference between good and bad?
2. After all, whatever we are calling bad today was what we were doing before and cherishing. But God came and opened our eyes of understanding, and enlightened us.
3. That which gave us joy before became even our greatest enemies today. Is it not true? When God gave us the truth, the truth created enmity in our hearts against our old deadly lifestyle that was leading us to destruction and disappointment, and we knew it not.
4. We were supporting the course of evil. We were hailing the devil that time to destroy ourselves. Is it a lie?
5. When someone will sit down at a spot and drink one carton of beer, is he still in his right sense? If you bring Indian hemp, he will smoke. If he goes to any party, he will dance more than everybody, even pushing others down.
6. With handset at hand, he or she will be calling girlfriends and boyfriends, even indulging in yahoo business and still prides him or herself about.
7. Every new cloth engenders pride in him. He attends every party upon hearing about it, priding him or herself with night life, “I came back at about 1am.” “I came back by 12 midnight. Do you know that I finally scaled the fence, because the gate was locked?”
8. LET ME TELL YOU THE TRUTH. ANYONE WHO IS ON THE HIGHWAY TO DEATH PRIDES HIM OR HERSELF ABOUT WITH INIQUITY.
9. Before now, all of us were used to priding ourselves in iniquity.
10. When you see these worldly women, they pretend to be dressed even when they are naked. Is it a lie? Do you not see people that are spiritually blind moving about? There are people who are still blind just as we were before.
11. Have the eyes of understanding of everybody been opened? Do you not see them on the streets? Fathers, mothers and their children? Do you not see what is happening?
12. During the celebration here, did you not see both males and females that are still blind? They were wearing only pants and moving around bare-chested, and drinking till late in the night and making a hell of noise. It is because they are still blind.
13. In time past, we were like them. That is why anybody whose eyes of understanding has been opened, if he is pointed to his or her former lifestyle the person will spit out of disgust.
14. Some of them were the photographs you took in time past, when you neither repented nor known God. When you are shown such photographs, you will tear them to pieces. Is it a lie Brethren?
15. If you doubt what I am saying, go and frame your old photographs. Keep them in your house and have a second look at them.
16. Some were photographs you took when you were having “Punk” hairstyle. Some were even showing when you put on only singlet or times when you wear moving about bare-chested just to show that you have hairs on your chest; even with a comb in your pocket. At regular intervals, you pull out a comb and dress your bushy beards.
17. There are people who still do it today, who are in possession of a comb wherever he goes. Men and boys! [Bro Elias confirms, “It is widespread.”]
18. He has both comb and mirror. At intervals, he stops to look at himself. After combing his hair and his beards, he admires himself in the mirror and then turns his head in a proud way and moves on. People living such life today. They are everywhere.
19. I will tell you what God has done so that when you are praising God, there is something that is producing that revival in you.
20. We all trod that path that leads to eternal destruction. That is why, if you have not gone to prison before, or been locked up in the police cell for the first time, or your name put on the police wanted list with a ransom placed for anyone who will give any reasonable information for your arrest, and a manhunt will be initiated for your arrest and you will be hiding even in ant holes, you will not know the value of freedom. Is it a lie Brethren?
21. If you have never lived this lifestyle God is talking about this morning and you have not seen the people indulging in it and where it is leading them to, you will not know and appreciate what God has done for you.
22. Any day you will visit the prison, you will see your age mates flooded there. You will even see those that of the same age with Chiemelie inside the prison. Anyone you ask will tell you that he has been there for7 years or 9 years.
23. If you go to cells in the police station, you will see the multitude locked up in there.
24. You will be wondering how they sleep there and even feed. One cloth; that same single pant which the person is putting on is what will be on him, come rain come sun shine. You will not even have your bath until the day you will be released from the cell.
25. Is there anything like change of cloth in the cell? Who brought the cloth you will change into, when you dropped the ones that were on you on the day of your arrest at the station counter, and then went into the cell with only your pants.
26. Even if you stay in that cell for one year, it is that same pants that you will be wearing.
27. But you regard this place as nothing, where you are bathing morning and afternoon, eating and changing your clothes at will.
28. This place means nothing to you until the day you will commit any crime that will lead to your being arrested and thrown into the police cell. One day there, will seem as twenty years.
29. IF YOU WERE NOT IMPRISONED, YOU CAN NEVER KNOW THE GAINS OF FREEDOM. THAT IS WHY GOD HAS COME TO GIVE US FREEDOM IN CHRIST; NOT FREEDOM TO DO EVIL BUT FREEDOM TO BE GOOD PEOPLE; TO DO GOOD; TO PLEASE GOD AND TO WALK UPRIGHT.
30. You see why our Brother whom God has inspired to handle this Message was pointing the entire Brethren, including his own family, to the only one God and one Voice.
31. And that is the Voice of the age. THE VOICE OF THE AGE. Not two voices. Two voices will mean confusion. Two individuals means make your choice. Is it a lie? Good.
32. GOD NEVER PRESENTED TWO INDIVIDUALS THAT WILL HELP US TO GO TO HEAVEN. HE PRESENTED ONLY BUT ONE. I AM THE TRUTH. I AM THE WAY. I AM THE LIFE. NO MAN COMETH TO THE FATHER EXCEPT BY ME.
33. 6Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” [John 14:6 – 7 NIV]
34. If there are two, we would have captured the second person since God has been revealing Himself through photographs.
35. Brethren have we captured two here? Is it not one Person that we have captured His photograph from North to south? We should rethink. We should rethink.
36. We are talking to ourselves because we have one Master and Lord. And whatever He says is what we must do in this hour. So I want to speak to us on this topic, GOD KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING IF ONLY WE CAN PIN OUR HOPE IN HIM.
37. When God wants to cause something to happen he creates an event. Even the present global event shaking the entire world today is created by God, because he wants to cause something to happen both in the world and in our midst, in this faith of Christ.
38. Remember our God is a great master planner. He is the best of the planners according to the Quran
39. Surah 3:54. Are they (– the persecutors of Jesus) planned (to crucify him) and Allah planned (to save him) and Allah is the best of the planners. [Amatul Rahman Omar Translation]
40. While they were planning, God was also planning. In the world today they are planning, but the Almighty God is also making His plan. So he remains the best of all the planners.
41. Surah 8:30And (O! Prophets recall the time) when those who disbelieved plotted (evil) against you, (and when so devised) they might confine you or kill you or turn you out. And even now they are devising (means and methods to harm you), and Allah also devised (to counteract their evil designs);… Amen! …AND ALLAH IS THE BEST OF DEVISERS. [Amatul Rahman Omar Translation]
42. So, it is a clear fact that our Lord, the great Allah is the best of all the planners and devisers. Whatever the world is planning and devising, God has his own plan and his device. Amen!
43. Remember that God has plan to reduce the population of the world. Is the world aware of this? No! He will not stop until he has achieved his plan.
44. He has also planned [1] to separate the goats from the sheep in the flock, [2] to separate the weeds from the tares, and [3] to separate the Bride from the church. And that is exactly what he is doing.
45. No matter what any other person wants to do, the Lord has His own plan on what is taking place. This is why whenever He wants to do something, He creates an event. Sure!!!
46. When He creates that event, you see those things happening exactly as He wants.
47. No matter what anybody wants to say; No matter what anybody wants to do, everything must work according to his plan.
48. If the world is aware of it, you will not hear them saying, “Oh! Soon it will be over. We will continue in our normal life.”
49. That is the statement of everybody. “Oh! Let us pray so that this thing will go off, and so that we will continue in our normal life.”
50. But can such a prayer be heard in the midst of the bride? No! For we know what is taking place. For He has already said, “Once it starts, it will not stop till God has achieved His plans both in the world and in the Bride.”
51. As He is doing it now, what is happening in the world will continue till He has achieved it; REDUCING THE WORLD TO ONE THIRD AND THEN BRINGING OUT THE BRIDE FROM THE CHURCH.
52. This is because, He has always told us that, this whole group that make up the whole local assemblies are not the Bride. But out of it, will God bring out a Bride.
53. But I want us to concern ourselves with what is taking place in our midst.
54. Surah 9:115“And Allah will never lead a people astray after he has guided them until he makes clear to them as to what they should avoid. Verily Allah is all knower of everything.” [Mohsin Khan Translation]
55. Amatul Rahman Omar translation says, “It is not for Allah to condemn a people as lost after He had guided them, unless He had made clear to them the things they ought to guard against. Surely, Allah has full knowledge of everything.” Amen!
56. Then do you think you know more than Him, the master planner? Surely, Allah has told us the things we ought to guard against and what it takes to worship him, because you do not worship this God anyhow.
57. Like He is revealing to us this morning; why people find it difficult to accept and work with Him.
58. They find it difficult to obey because sometimes they feel that they are holier than God or more righteous than God, lest obeying Him will defile them;
59. Obeying God will defile a man? Can it happen? You obey God and become unrighteous. Can it happen?
60. DISOBEY GOD AND YOU ARE DECLARED UNRIGHTEOUS AND UNFIT FOR HEAVEN, FOR YOU ARE LIVING IN DISOBEDIENCE. OBEDIENCE TO GOD IS YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. IS IT NOT TRUE?
61. But often times, we think that obeying will make us belittle ourselves; or that obeying God will mark us out of the kingdom of heaven. You see what the devil does?
62. That was what the devil did in the Garden of Eden, suggesting to Eve never to obey the instructions for, “If you obey you will become a slave in the hand of God. But when you disobey, you will become equal with him. You will know everything God knows.”
63. 4The snake replied, “That’s not true; you will not die. 5God said that because he knows that when you eat it, you will be like God and know what is good and what is bad.”
64. 6The woman saw how beautiful the tree was and how good its fruit would be to eat, and she thought how wonderful it would be to become wise. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, and he also ate it. [Genesis 3:4 – 6 GNB]
65. Look at! The foolish woman disobeyed God and obeyed the devil, so that she will become equal with God. When she obeyed the devil, what happened?
66. She obeyed the devil and equally caused the husband to obey the devil. And they disobeyed God. When they disobeyed God, were they equal with God?
67. Who exercised authority over the other? God exercised authority over them. Who queried who? God queried them. Who drove who out? God drove them out.
68. Who denied them eternal life? God denied them eternal life. Who punished them? Did they punish God? God punished them. Did you get it? Did you get it?
69. 16And he said to the woman, “I will increase your trouble in pregnancy and your pain in giving birth. In spite of this, you will still have desire for your husband, yet you will be subject to him.”
70. 17And he said to the man, “You listened to your wife and ate the fruit which I told you not to eat. Because of what you have done, the ground will be under a curse. You will have to work hard all your life to make it produce enough food for you.
71. 18It will produce weeds and thorns, and you will have to eat wild plants. 19You will have to work hard and sweat to make the soil produce anything, until you go back to the soil from which you were formed. You were made from soil, and you will become soil again.”
72. 20Adam named his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all human beings. 21And the Lord God made clothes out of animal skins for Adam and his wife, and he clothed them. [Genesis 3:16 21 GNB]
Let me tell you. Do you know that you are the only people that are watching events prophetically? You are the wise people of this age. The wise people in the wilderness fixed their eyes on the great Star and when they saw the Star, they consulted with no flesh and blood. We have seen the Star. We have come to worship the King. Everything is around us. The Star has been given, that guides every people of God in every age. In our own age, A Star has been allotted. In every age, God gives His people a star that will guide them through.

ANY VOICE THAT OPPOSES GOD’S PLAN IS OF THE DEVIL
You think you are doing right. Has God justified it? You think you are reasoning right; you are talking right, but you may not know that you are provoking God to anger.
2. If you are sensible, the moment your reaction or your statement begins to provoke God to anger, you will stop and then regret the ones you just said like job.
3. Job stopped immediately and placed his finger on his lips and said, “O LORD, I am sorry. I have already spoken too much. I have talked too much. Yet, I achieved basically nothing.”
4. [1]The Lord went on: [2]“Do you still want to argue with the Almighty? Or will you yield? Do you—God’s critic—have the answers?” [3]Then Job replied to 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 40:1-5 LB]
5. HAVE YOU SEEN ANYBODY WHO GAINED FAVOUR IN THE SIGHT OF GOD BY TALKING TOO MUCH? YOUR ORATORY CANNOT WIN YOU THE FAVOUR OF GOD.
6. YOUR RESENTMENT OF GOD’S STATEMENTS CANNOT WIN YOU THE FAVOUR OF GOD, BUT CAN ONLY THROW YOU FAR FROM GOD BECAUSE WHEN YOU RESENT GOD’S WORDS, YOU BLOCK THE ROOM FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. TRUE OR FALSE?
7. If you are hostile to My Word, will I be stupid to continue? You have barred information. And I will walk away from you or you walk away from me. Walking away from God because you feel offended by God, you will become that lawyer who walked away by offence.
8. [21]Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell everything you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” [22]But when the young man heard this, he went away sadly, for he was very rich.[Matthew 19:21-22 LB]
9. He felt offended and walked away. Where did he go? He embraced the devil.
10. YOU CANNOT WALK AWAY FROM GOD WITHOUT EMBRACING THE DEVIL FACE TO FACE. AND YOU CAN NEVER WALK AWAY FROM GOD UNTIL THE DEVIL HAS ANOINTED YOU TO WALK AWAY FROM THE SOURCE OF LIFE AND EMBRACE DEATH. IS IT A LIE?
11. YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE THE PRESENCE OF GOD WITHOUT STANDING FACE TO FACE WITH THE DEVIL. DEPART FROM GOD EVEN IN YOUR MIND, IN YOUR SENSE AND IN YOUR BRAIN AND SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU.
12. YOU WILL BE POSSESSED OUTRIGHTLY BY THE DEVIL AND HIS MILLIONS OF DEMONS. YOUR LIFE WILL BE IN CONFUSION. THERE IS NOTHING YOU WILL DO THAT WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY AGAIN.
13. EVEN YOUR STATEMENT WILL BE DISCORDANT. YOU CANNOT COMPREHEND WHAT GOES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH AGAIN. IF YOU ARE REMINDED OF IT TOMORROW, YOU WILL DENY THAT YOU NEVER SAID SO, FOR YOU WERE NOT THE ONE TALKING.
14. The devil was talking through you. Is it not true? Have you not seen where it happened? The devil talks through human beings.
15. The devil was talking to Jesus through Peter. Is it a lie Brethren? The devil entered into him under anointing and used Peter to talk to Jesus. And Jesus said “Get thee behind me, you Satan”, for God did not hear the voice of Peter, but that of the Satan.
16. 32And He said this freely (frankly, plainly, and explicitly, making it unmistakable). And Peter took Him by the hand and led Him aside and then [facing Him] began to rebuke Him.
17. 33But turning around [His back to Peter] and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, Get behind Me, Satan! For you do not have a mind intent on promoting what God wills, but what pleases men [you are not on God’s side, but that of men]. [Mark 8:32 – 33 KJV]
18. ANY VOICE THAT OPPOSES GOD’S PLAN IS OF THE DEVIL.
19. If God is the Master planner, the Master deviser, does He require a counsellor? Who has ever counselled God to do right?
20. Let Me tell what God does at times. Underline it in your heart now. And then begin to address it immediately.
21. IF GOD TALKS TO YOU AND HE KNOWS THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE THE HEART TO WELCOME IT OR TO BEAR IT, HE WILL DRAW BACK AGAIN AND THEN GIVE YOU EAR SO THAT YOU WILL TALK AND TALK.
22. WHEN YOU TALK, HE WILL SAY, “OKAY, GO AND DO IT, PROVIDED THIS IS THE WAY THAT WILL PLEASE YOU; AND PROVIDED YOU WILL NOT BE OFFENDED. GO AND DO IT.
23. FIND OUT WHETHER GOD IS COMPROMISING WITH YOU TO AVOID YOU BEING OFFENDED AT HIM BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FAITH TO BELIEVE THE TRUTH.
24. EVERY TRUTH FROM GOD WORKS CONTRARY TO THE FEELINGS AND THE ASPIRATIONS OF MEN. IT TAKES MAN TO ADJUST TO THE TRUTH. DID YOU GET WHAT I AM SAYING? YOU ARE THE ONE TO ADJUST YOUR MIND TO EVERY TRUTH FROM GOD.
25. IF YOU DO NOT ADJUST YOUR MIND AND REMAIN WHERE YOU WERE, EVEN IF YOU SAY AMEN, THAT AMEN DID NOT SINK WELL. YOU MEANT NO, BUT YOU SAID AMEN, THAT PEACE MAY REIGN. IS IT A LIE BRETHREN?
26. IT HAPPENS. SOMETIMES YOU SAY AMEN WHEN YOU DO NOT MEAN TO SAY AMEN, BUT YOU WANT PEACE TO REIGN.
27. That is why, after saying Amen, you will still go back and begin to complain that your wish was not granted, and that it was not what you were desiring, but you do not want to run into problems with THE SON OF MAN. For that reason, “I said Amen.”
28. You are a hypocrite. Even God Himself knows that that Amen did not come from your heart.
29. Is there anything that is happening in a human being which God does not know about? That is why if God looks at you and laughs, He knows what He is doing. He knows what He is doing. Your thoughts are not equal with that of God.
30. You will realize it the day something will happen and He will revisit that same incident. You will wish that the ground will open so that you will fall in.
31. He will use it as a test case by bringing it up to you and saying, “This was your reaction the other day. And today, you have seen the consequences.
32. This is because one that has gone mad does not know what he or she is doing.
33. IF THE DEVIL WILL ALLOW YOU TO ORGANIZE YOURSELF, YOU WILL NOT SERVE HIM. NOBODY OBEYS THE DEVIL IN HIS RIGHT MIND. IS IT A LIE BRETHREN?
34. THE DEVIL POISONS THE HEART OF AN INDIVIDUAL AND THE PERSON WILL DO THINGS WHICH HE OR SHE NEVER WANTED TO DO.
35. THE DEVIL WILL DISARM THE PERSON OF HIS OR HER INTELLIGENCE, WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING, BUT AS SOON AS THE PERSON HAS DONE THAT THING WHICH THE DEVIL WANTS HIM OR HER TO DO, THE DEVIL WILL ABANDON THE PERSON AND THE PERSON WILL REALIZE HIS OR HER ERROR.
36. Regret takes over, and the person will want to commit suicide. The fellow will feel like committing suicide.
37. If it has not happened in your life, pray that it happens so that you will understand what I am saying. Do you understand where I am heading to? Does this Message contain the truth?
38. If you have never found yourself in such a horrible condition where you danced to the tune of the devil’s suggestion, and it landed you into another very horrifying condition you regretted after.
39. An action after which you will decide to commit suicide, and if possible you will look for a big rock to fall on you and kill you.
40. And you will be praying for it not to be noised openly because you were mad when it was happening, for when the anointing of the devil rests on a man, he becomes mad.
41. But before it will come, there was a gradual departure from the truth. A desire to have your way. Then you neglected the voice of God over and over, until He decided to withdraw for a while from you so that you can go and taste that thing. When you now taste it and your eyes of understanding are opened, you will see how bitter it will be in the end.
42. At the initial stage, it may be sweet, but along the way, the sugar on the top of cake will finish. You will now begin to taste the raw sour taste of cake. You will have the taste of vinegar because you have eaten away the top made up of sugar.
43. That is why anything that is sugary does not last long. Does any sweet thing last long? Anything that is sweet kills. Is it a lie Brethren?
44. I have never heard that somebody was killed by something bitter. All you will be hearing that kill people are sweet things. Anything that is sweet kills.
45. I am giving you the Words of wisdom, let Me know whether someone with wisdom can understand.
46. I WAS YOUNG, BUT NOW I AM OLD. IF THERE WAS A TIME I WAS YOUNG, I KNOW THAT THE ANCIENT OF THE DAYS DWELLETH IN ME. IN ME IS THE OLDEST BEING IN THE WHOLE WORLD. THAT IS WHY I PROCLAIMED IT THAT I REMAIN THE OLDEST HUMAN BEING WALKING HERE ON EARTH.
47. I AM ONLY ADJUSTING TO SUIT NATURE AND TO SUIT HUMAN BEINGS PERADVENTURE SOMEBODY MIGHT BE SAVED IN THE END.
48. THIS IS BECAUSE MY AIM IS TO RESTORE AND RECONCILE ALL HUMAN BEINGS TO THE DEITY, THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE, WHICH GOD WHO CANNOT LIE PROMISED THEM BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN.
49. And they have been missing it. In this last days we are in; this closing hours of the history of the world, God wants to bring everything to fruition by coming down Himself to take for Himself a people from among the whole inhabitants of the earth He will teach right, for these people must be taught by God.
50. All the children of God must be taught by God himself. They must have Him in person as their teacher.
51. 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]
52. If you have your examiner; your marker as your teacher, and you fail that exam, it goes to show that you are stupid. Is it a lie Brethren? Oh! No!
53. That which they missed, God decided to fill the gap by coming to teach by Himself, for a longer period than ever.
54. LET ME PUT IT THIS WAY. NO PROPHET HAS EVER APPEARED AND LASTED AS LONG AS THE SON OF MAN IN TEACHING, IN ENCOURAGING AND IN ADMONISHING.
55. Check your Scriptures. From the time Abraham was called, what did he preach? From the time Moses was called, what did he preach? Check all of them.
56. THAT IS WHY, WHEN I SAY THAT I AM THE GREATEST, I KNOW I AM THE GREATEST BECAUSE THE GREATEST OF ALL BEINGS DWELLETH IN ME.
57. God sees every human being with four eyes, but a human being sees God with two eyes. Man calls God once but He will answer you seven times.
58. You call Him once, and He answers seven times. You call Him once, He will answer, and answer, and answer until it completes seven times. But you called once.
59. I am not so much in a haste.
60. Even if you go to the idol to worship, when you hear of Sango and the other gods that you see, nobody worships them anyhow.
61. The worshipers have the guiding rules to worship these gods. And if you do not fit into what it has said, you cannot worship that god. Sure!!!
62. From the message, I AM THE LORD, I CHANGETH NOT; Preached on 17th February 2002; Page 32 verse 26
63. You see. You cannot worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob without being the seed of Abraham Amen!
64. And then, you look at how the great master planner began to break down what God has planned, and then you see that he knows what he has been doing right from time.
65. MANY DO NOT KNOW WHO THE SON OF MAN IS… Sure! Even till today! Even till this hour. No matter how long they have stayed with Him, they do not know Him yet.
66. No matter all He has revealed to them to help them know who He is; even bearing heavenly witnesses. Supernatural heavenly witnesses do not also confirm to them that this Man is the Elohim.
67. If it is like this then, though one riseth from the dead and talks to them, will they believe?
68. Since it is like this, that even as this one person has been confirmed by heavenly testimonies, Voice, supernatural photographs, and the Word of God that have all come to pass, yet nobody knows Him and nobody wants to know Him, if one rises from the dead and speaks to you, will you know Him?
69. Satan has testified about Him, but you did not believe. God testified about Him, but you did not believe. All that was created testified of Him, but you did not believe. In short, unbelief is very bad.
70. UNBELIEF IS THE GREATEST CANKERWORM. SATAN’S GREATEST DESTRUCTIVE EQUIPMENT IS UNBELIEF. IT IS NOT A MATTER OF CONFESSING WITH THE LIPS THAT YOU BELIEVE. UNBELIEF IS IN THE HEART.
71. THAT IS WHY GOD SAID, “WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS. WITH THE MOUTH, MAN CONFESSES HIS BELIEF UNTO HIS SALVATION. IS IT A LIE BRETHREN?
72. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with themouth confession is made unto salvation. [Romans 10:10] KJV
73. In the same way, with the heart man believeth unto unrighteousness when you believe the devil. And with the mouth, the manifestations of the mouth will tell us that you do not believe; your character bearing witness that you do not believe, and that you believe the devil.
74. You are following another way which does not lead you to the kingdom of God; to Paradise, but it leads to death.
I am the Son. I am the Father. I hold the Key to Hell and Heaven. I make laws and I cancel laws. I am the Supreme Authority, the Supreme Intelligence, the Supreme Judge, the Judge of all flesh. When you hear, “I am the Lord, the God of all Flesh”, where do you look at? See Him in your midst. The Lord, the God of all flesh, who said, “Is there anything impossible for Me to do?” For with Him all things are possible; both life and death.
A SPECIAL DAY: ANOTHER GREAT DAY; preached on Sunday 19th August, 2012 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 146 vs. 10 – 11

GOD SAYS WHAT HE MEANS, AND MEANS WHAT HE SAYS
Uptil this moment, there are many who have been dancing in the Faith and still they do not know who He is. Sure!!!
2. When Apostle Kelechi’s landlord found out, he said, “The name you are calling Him is too small. He said that he is looking for a name to call Him. Yes!!!
3. THE SON OF MAN is too small because He THE SON OF MAN is beyond what you are seeing. He is the Great Jehovah. He knows everything.
4. IF ONLY WE KNOW WHO IS TALKING TO US, ONCE WE HEAR HIS VOICE, WE CAN NEVER PLAY WITH IT.
5. This is why you find out that He is careful in everything He says because whatever He says, He means it. And whatever He means that is what He says…
6. I called My son in the morning and after narrating where he will go that day I started interrogating him, talking to him and advising him, even reminding him that death is still real and that people die within the shortest distance.
7. I instructed him to give the address of where intends to go to his younger brother. I equally told him to make sure that his brother also gets the phone numbers and the name of the person he is to meet in case of any eventuality.
8. I asked to know the vehicle he intended to go with. He told me the car he intends to use, but I said, “No, you will not use that vehicle and you will not go alone again. I will give you your brother to go with you. Carry him to the Pastor so that Pastor will know that you came around. Let him go to the market so that when he comes back, he will wait for you. Whenever you are through with what you are going to do, come back to the Post Office to pick him up. And start calling your friend. And if it is possible, tell him to come from Omagba to Shoprite so that you can have the interactive session there.”
9. He agreed and I instructed him to take the Jeep. I asked him, “Do you know why I am giving you the Jeep?” He said no. And I told him, “This vehicle will help you. Even if there is a problem, there will never be a time I will come to carry your corpse anyhow, for Jeep vehicle is high. I know the type of vehicle you will get involved with in an accident for Me to start panicking. And it will not be along this Nsugbe road, for there is no segment of the road where vehicles speed up. Go and carry it. With the Jeep, you will have a very clear vision of what is happening in front of you.”
10. He agreed with Me and took the vehicle. He equally went along with his brother as I instructed him. He doubted nothing. Do you think that God did not see anything? God kept repeating and affirming His statement, warning him, “Be on the alert. Drive with care. No distance is too short for disaster.” This is what he had never been told before.
11. And that same Tuesday morning, 26th, a memorable day, before we dismissed from Fellowship, we read the Message, Faith. And I asked him, “Have you seen how the Message ended? Everybody listen to Me. THE WARFARE STARTS NOW.” Did you hear it that day?
12. THE WARFARE STARTS NOW. And that was after encouraging him to know that the entire world has heard his testimonies and that of all of you. And not everybody is pleased.
13. For that reason, you are in the warfare. The devil will marshal out everything in his armoury against you, for what follows the Master will follow you from now.
14. You cannot step your feet into My shoes and avoid My troubles. NOW THE WARFARE STARTS. Was it not that day that all these things happened?
15. NO MATTER THE PRECAUTION HE TOOK, GOD ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN, FOR LIFE TEACHES US LESSONS. SOME IN A BITTER WAY. SOME IN A VERY SWEET WAY. IN ALL, THEY ARE LESSONS.
16. …ONCE HE HAS SPOKEN IT, IT HAS GONE FORTH. This is why He says, “When you know who is talking to you, when He says anything that is evil upon you, you will not rest till you have made Him to change His mind.” Amen!!!
17. This is because, if He does not change that Word, it must come to pass as He has spoken it. Must! M.U.S.T.
18. Sure! You see the revelation? How many have this revelation that God cannot easily make a U-turn upon His Word that has proceeded out of His mouth, for He says what He means and means what He says? Anything contrary is your desire.
19. If you cannot take God’s words, He will give you your desire. Anywhere your desire takes you to, is not God’s business. It is what you asked for. And He granted it to you.
20. You can never begin to have your way without refusing God’s way. You must refuse God’s own provided way, for you to desire to have your own way, for you think you have a better way, a better plan, a better device than God.
21. And when the Almighty God notices it, he draws back. If this is all that you want so that you will have peace, so that there would not be noise, there would not be quarrels and for peace to reign, then take it, provided you are happy.
22. It takes Satan’s seed to accept such a way or such a gift without being troubled.
23. Even Ahab knew when prophet Micah spoke in derision. In derision means to scorn (laugh at him).
24. Ahab noticed it and reacted to Jehoshaphat, “What did I tell you? You see. My brother, my friend, please, prophet of God, whenever I come to you no matter my hostility, I know I am a king over you. Please, tell me what the Lord has said.”
25. Why was he coming back with such a plea? This is because he knew that the truth was not yet out, and that there was no way the Lord will speak and it will be in agreement with what the 400 prophets said. Ahab knew that God’s voice must be different. He was expecting to hear something.
26. Do you not know that anybody that commits a crime knows that he commits evil? When discussion is going on, he will be fidgeting, and wishing that the matter will not be raised in the discussion.
27. If it comes up in a discussion but he was not mentioned, he will rejoice temporarily. Whenever there is an issue to be discussed, he will be panicking, lest the issue of his crime be raised.
28. But one day, the thing will be voiced out. And he will feel the earth should open and swallow him up.
29. It can never remain that way you want it till eternity. One day, God will halt you and halt everything. And when He will talk to the public, He will rake-up your past, where He started following you and the things He has observed in your life so that He will be the Righteous Judge.
30. And at that point, you will bow your head low in shame. Your head and your eyes and your mouth will close. Your strength will fail you. Your heart will fail you.
31. Your legs will not allow you to stand up. You will go on your knees or you lie prostrate on the floor, for you know that God is not testifying against you when you committed no crime.
32. That is why our God, Allah is very very swift in taking records. If he has no reason for records, why taking the records? God takes record very readily so as to keep every man’s accounts straight before him and before her.
33. 62Then are men returned unto Allah, their protector, the (only) reality: Is not His the command, and He is the swiftest in taking account. [Surah 6:62 Abdullah Yusuf Ali]
34. 62Then they are returned to Allah, their Maulâ [True Master (Allah), the Just Lord (to reward them)]. Surely, His is the judgement and He is the Swiftest in taking account. [Surah 6:62 Hilali-Khan]
35. My account is straight before My Maker. Your account is straight before your Maker from the day you entered your mother’s womb till the day you will vanish from this earth.
36. Your account is kept by the Almighty God. My account is kept by the Almighty God on a daily basis.
37. That is why the Bible says that in the end be very sure you will be coming before Him to give account of how you lived your life here on earth.
38. When we know that we are going to give account in the end, will that not instil fear in us? Will it not instil godly fear, reverence and then soberness in us?
39. WE HAVE TO BE SOBER. WE HAVE TO BE SENSIBLE AND SENSITIVE IN ALL THAT WE DO. WE HAVE TO BE WHAT? SENSIBLE AND ALSO SENSITIVE.
40. MANY DO NOT KNOW GOD. THAT IS WHY THEY EQUAL THEMSELVES WITH GOD.
41. Listen to what the Almighty God is letting us see in this Message, “I AM THE LORD, I CHANGETH NOT” preached on 17th of February 2002. Page 32 from verse 26 through 29.
42. Find that Message, I AM THE LORD, I CHANGETH NOT and keep it on My table. The Messages are now three.
43. 26You cannot worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, unless you have a part in Jacob. Sure!!! In Isaac shall thy seed come and you know that the first seed that came from Isaac was Esau according to the jewfish people.
44. Jehovah wanted to fool the Jews. And placed a temporary curse on Esau, intending to use Esau as the greatest stumbling block.
45. 27God knows what He is doing. God has already purposed to save the Gentiles by faith and not by works. And then He gave Esau one position. No matter how Jacob coveted it, it ended in a paper. It has nothing to do with the identity of Esau. Never!!!
46. 28You see, God blinded the world. They could see Esau. And they could see Jacob.
47. It is easy to recognize from the Scriptures that God renamed Jacob to Israel. It is easy to discover. But to discover that God renamed Esau to Edom, it is not easy”. At all!
48. If not for this faith, is there anybody that knew it that God came from Edom? Bozrah! If not for this Faith, do you know it?
49. 29There is no religious man that does not know that God renamed Jacob to Israel, but many do not know that God renamed Esau to Edom. What is more? One is a Jew and the other is a Gentile. Did you get the Message?”
50. So this is God’s plan. That was why God told Rebecca when she was worried about what was taking place in her womb.
51. He said, “There are two nations in your womb.” That was what God told her… And they were struggling against each other.
52. …and they continued the struggle till even when they were coming out. One held one on the leg.
53. 21And Isaac entreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the Lord.
54. 23And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
55. 24And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25And the first came out red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
56. 26And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them. [Genesis 25:21 – 26 KJV]
57. Who came out first? Esau. And who did Isaac want to bless first? Esau. And Jacob went and pretended to be Esau. No matter how he pretended to be Esau, whatever the father said went to Esau and never went to him.
58. Yes! The person whose name was mentioned while greeting, to him belongs the salutation.
59. I AM THE LORD, I CHANGETH NOT; Page 34 verse 33 through 37. 33Now let us look at the whole thing; that Edom became the first Gentile nation and Israel the Jewish nation, the law was given to the Jews while grace was given to the Gentiles.
60. And then, God decided that through the law, nobody will know Him, nobody will interact with and worship Him.
61. 34In other words, God revealed Himself in the law, but His people rejected him. He turned to Edom and the people were astonished, “Who is this man that is coming from Edom wearing black garment; dyed skin? Who is this black man that is coming from Edom? ”The Bible said, “Believe it. Esau is Edom. And God sojourned in Edom.”
62. 1Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? This that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. [Isaiah 63:1 KJV]
63. 8Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom. [Genesis 36:8 KJV]
64. 35Thus, God is revealed from Edom in accordance with the Holy Scriptures. There is no Scripture that said that God is revealed from the Jewish land, but the prophets said that God is revealed from Edom, but Edom is the cursed man.
65. Jacob I love. Esau have I hated. (Malachi 1 verse 2 through 3) And the people thought that God meant it with His heart.
66. For God to do away with that hatred [for if God will continue to look at Esau, He will keep on hating him] He had to change Esau [from Esau] to Edom, so that he will love Edom and hate Esau.
67. 36In the same way, if He will continue to look at Jacob, His anger will continue. He had to change it from Jacob to Israel so that He will love Israel and hate Jacob.
68. 37What I am saying is that one is a fornicator and the other is a deceiver. Sin is sin. He concluded two of them in unbelief that He might show mercy to both of them at the same time, so that at the end the Jews will not glory that they have laboured to get their salvation. At all!
69. In the same way, the Gentiles will not glory that they laboured to obtain their salvation. At all! They will all rejoice and say, “It is all by Grace, Grace and Grace alone.” Amen.
70. So we can see the wonderful background. Who is this planner? It is the great God making this plan. Today, it has become plain to us that the Almighty God is always found in the despised places, for nobody believed that Esau whom God said I hate, the same God will come from there.
71. If He is not God and He has not come in our midst, will you and I know this truth? Does the world even know what we are talking about now? No!
72. This is because every religious man knows that Jacob was changed to Israel. But how many will tell you that Esau is Edom?
73. It is only God who has come to show us. He said, “Look at what the plan is. Look at the foundation of it.” This is because, He has already said it, “It is through thy seed which is coming from Isaac, shall He be pleased first, in everything He has said concerning His children.”
74. And the seeds that came from Isaac were Esau and Jacob. And these two nations are the nations that God is dealing with. Yes! The Gentile, for Edom is the first Gentile nation. And then, the Jews.
75. These are the two sticks He is going to join together and they become one. So the work; the sunrise is on right now in the Gentiles.
76. What is that work that the Lord is doing right now? It is the work of bringing out the Bride that will now enter into this glory with the Jews. And we will all say, “It is Grace, Grace and Grace.”
All I am trying to say is this: That we are sure and certain that we are following God and not man for He is the only person that will speak and it will come to pass……
NOW I KNOW THAT THOU ART A MAN OF GOD; Teaching on Sunday 28th February, 1999; Pg. 48 vs. 10 – 11

GOD’S WORD CAN NEVER COME BACK TO HIM VOID
Let us go to the Message 2019 NEW YEAR MESSAGE [THE YEAR OF JUDGEMENT OF THE WORLD]; preached on 1st January 2019; Page 13 verse 21 through 22 21“In other words, all that have put their trust and confidence in Jehovah, the Creator of heaven and earth, the only One and True God Who hears and answers prayers, Who is constantly touched by the infirmities of his children, Who shows interest in whatever that happens to any of his children, that is the God I am pointing everybody to.
1. 22The universal Saviour, the Almighty God that is what I am pointing every soul to, Who is saying that we should bow down before Him in honour, in fear, in reverence, in adoration, in worship and in thanksgiving. Surrender all our cares to Him, for he careth for us.”
2. Now, my question is this, can we bow down before God in honour, in fear, in reverence, in adoration, in worship, in thanksgiving, surrendering all our cares to him, if he is not in flesh before us? The answer is No.
3. Without THE SON OF MAN, Apostle Peter Odoemena [blessed be His Most Holy Name], no soul can worship the True and Living God. Sure!
4. The mask and the masquerade are one… What? The Ijele masquerade and the man inside it are one. When I say that the eyes of the masquerade are no longer on its head, do you not know what I mean?
5. The mask and the masquerade are one, for He is the Lord that changeth not. So get it clear that the God I am pointing you to is THE SON OF MAN, the Alpha and Omega that was there and is alive forever more, the Resurrected Body. He is the Master Planner that has planned these things.
6. The Scripture said that when He comes he will take us to all the truth, not some truth.
7. 13HOWBEIT WHEN HE, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, IS COME, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. [John 16:13 KJV]
8. Today, we have all the truth in the Messages. These Messages are not Messages for play.
9. (1-2)From: Paul, the slave of God and the messenger of Jesus Christ. I have been sent to bring faith to those God has chosen AND TO TEACH THEM TO KNOW GOD’S TRUTH—THE KIND OF TRUTH THAT CHANGES LIVES—SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, which God promised them before the world began—and he cannot lie.[Titus 1:1 – 2 LB]
10. You go back to the truth and bring it out so we can see what God is doing in our day.
11. I AM THE LORD, I CHANGETH NOT; Page 27 verse 15 through 18.15You see, God can revoke his sentence. In the same way, God can withdraw his pardon from you.
12. Do you believe that? That God can revoke a sentence of evil against a nation or against a person,…
13. If they meet the standard God set for them for their repentance, He [God] revokes the sentence. He can also withdraw the pardon.
14. …the same way, God can withdraw his pardon. The same way God can withdraw his spirit from anybody. Sure!!! It is also scriptural.
15. 16God can withdraw his spirit from anybody, that is why David prayed, “Lord, withdraw not thy spirit from me and banish me not from thy presence.””
16. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy Holy Spirit from me. [Psalms 51:11 KJV]
17. This is our prayer because, the hour is not the hour that you talk anyhow or behave anyhow. No!
18. God can withdraw His pardon, God can withdraw His sentence… Pure truth! …so that you do not say, once God has said it to you, it is final…
19. “I am saved”, but you continue in evil. God forbid!
20. …HE CAN WITHDRAW IT. AND WHAT MAKES HIM TO WITHDRAW IT? IT IS WHEN HE NOTICES UNBELIEF.
21. Remember that this Satan that we are talking about was the best of the angels until iniquity was found in him.
22. 12How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! 13You said in your heart, “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain.14I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” [Isaiah 14:12 – 14 NIV]
23. WHAT IS INIQUITY? THAT THING WHICH YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD NOT DO, BUT YOU GO AHEAD DOING IT, EVEN WHEN YOU KNOW THAT THE THING IS NOT RIGHT.
24. So, are we not living in a very delicate moment; in a precarious moment? This is why we heard that little warning from Pastor Wisdom, pointing us to certain things that we must be very careful about in this very hour that we are living in.
25. Verse 16. “God can withdraw his spirit from anybody. That is why David prayed, Lord, withdraw not thy spirit from me and banish me not from thy presence lest I die and perish. …”
26. If He withdraws His Spirit from us and banishes us, we are finished. We are nothing without His Spirit in us.
27. “…Restore in me the joy of my salvation, and I will teach sinners thy way, that they will obey you.
28. 11Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy Holy Spirit from me. 11Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free Spirit. [Isaiah 51:11 – 12 KJV]
29. 17THE WORST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN TO A PERSON IS TO LIVE AN EMPTY LIFE. NOTE! EMPTY LIFE MEANS THAT GOD HAS WITHDRAWN HIS SPIRIT FROM THAT PERSON. HE HAS WITHDRAWN HIS LOVE FROM THAT PERSON.
30. Are you paying attention? Spirit of God, withdrawn. Love of God, withdrawn.
31. 18What is more? At the same time, He has withdrawn His pardon. In other words, the evil which He has purposed before, which he will not permit to come to pass, will then come to pass.” Yes!!!
32. We are reading this to let us know that we are serving that same God. He is not a modern God. Modern God is idolatry! This is why He is the Ancient of Days. What He hated from the beginning, He will hate it to the end.
33. He is not going to change it because of you and I. So we must know this God that we are being pointed to.
34. When you want to worship God, you must know Him. What did He say in Jeremiah? He said, “Your boast should be that you know Me and understand Me.
35. Jeremiah 9 verse 23 through 24. 23This is what the Lord says: “Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches,
36. 24but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the Lord.
37. We know Him and understand that He does not play with His Word. We must always have it at the back of our minds that although salvation is free, it is also very costly and fragile. Your salvation is in your hands; and my salvation is in my hand.
38. Your destruction is also in your hands. Is it a lie Brethren? Is my salvation not in my hands? Is my destruction not also in my hands? To believe this Message and put it into practice, is it not in my hands?
39. Believing this Message and putting it into practice, is it not in My hands. Is disobedience not also in my hands? When I disobey, I have chosen death. The obedient fellow has chosen life, while the disobedient fellow has chosen death and eternal separation from God.
40. Salvation is also costly and fragile. Your salvation is in your hand. My salvation is in my hand. Let us look at another Message, confirming for us that once He has spoken, He cannot withdraw it.
41. TORCH LIGHT IN THE DARK PLACES OF YOUR HOMES; Preached on 12th March 2019. Page 11 vs. 18
42. Sure! That is what the Word of God is. It is Light that shines in the dark places of my life; in the dark places of your life and in the dark places in the family.
43. When the Word of God enters, it becomes the Light that shines bright and everyone will see his or her condition. Nobody will accuse another for saying or doing anything.
44. What is the essence of putting on the Light? Is it not to expose hidden things? Good.
45. Remember, we are in a prophetic Ministry. We are children of the prophets. When God speaks, the Word goes out of His mouth in righteousness. It can never come back to Him void. It must fulfil the purpose for which course God sent out that word.
46. I am reading this quote for us to see that we are in a prophetic Ministry. Once He has spoken something, it will not come back void.
47. And because we are wise children of God, we do not play with that thing that has gone out, but the foolish will say, “Yes, God has said. Did He not say so, so and so will happen in the year so, so and so, has it happened?”
48. But you fail to understand that He also said, “Do not be worried about it. It will surely come to pass.” It will surely come to pass. No matter how it slows down, there is a reason why God slowed it down.
49. I will show you things he said, that is to happen 2019, but today is when we are feeling the full effect of that thing He has said.
50. Often times, our God, Apostle Peter Odoemena [Blessed be His Most Holy Name], The Christ revealed in our day, the very Deity, for which cause all of us are here, vindicated and confirmed in all ramifications;
51. He keeps saying to us His children, “Do not play with whatever you hear and receive from me. Take whatever you hear and receive from Me very very serious. It is life and death. If you take it you have life. If you reject it, you die. It is a two-edged sword.”
52. 2019 NEW YEAR MESSAGE [THE YEAR OF THE JUDGEMENT OF THE WORLD] Preached on Tuesday 1st January, 2019; Page 50 verse 6 through 10 shows us that when the Word of God has gone forth, it must come to pass as He has said it.
53. Many a time, many look at it and think that He is just making a common statement. No! He does not just make statements anyhow. You must see that thing coming to pass as we move along.
54. 6“THIS YEAR, WATCH WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. EVERYBODY WILL BE ON THE RUN. EVERYBODY WILL BE RUNNING HELTER-SKELTER.”
55. If you look at last year [2019], everything looked as if nobody is running. Are they not running helter-skelter now? Sure! Is the world not in confusion now? They are. That Word is coming to pass.
56. It started last year. Hence, it was labelled COVID-19. It started in 2019. It is not COVID-2020. It is COVID-2019. Is it a lie Brethren?
57. So the world took record of when it started. The same year of the judgement of the world. God said they must run helter skelter. And it took off 2019. Continuous!
58. 7“TALK OF BUSINESS THAT ONE IS ALREADY IN THE COOLER.”
59. Are businesses not in the cooler now? The business is in the cooler. Where is the business thriving now? Nowhere!
60. “ONLY AMONG THE CHILDREN OF GOD THAT SERVE HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH SHALL WE SEE THE BLOSSOMING OF LIFE, Pure Truth!!! BLOSSOMING OF ACTIVITIES THIS YEAR.”
61. 8“SO, WHATEVER YOU WILL MAKE OF THIS YEAR IS IN YOUR HANDS. IF YOU DRAW NEARER TO GOD, HE WILL DRAW NEARER TO YOU. YOU RUN AWAY FROM GOD, GOD WILL RUN AWAY FROM YOU.”
62. Pure truth! AND TO BE FAR FROM GOD, IS TO BE FAR FROM HIS BLESSINGS AND PROTECTIONS. Is it a lie Brethren?
63. It does not mean coming to sleep with God in one bed. You may share one bed with God. Yet, you are far from God.
64. CLOSENESS WITH GOD IS SOMETHING THAT TAKES PLACE IN THE SPIRIT. IN YOUR SPIRIT, YOU DRAW FAR AWAY FROM HIM. AND HE IS FAR AS YOU ARE FROM HIM. DID YOU GET THE MESSAGE?
65. IF YOU ARE FAR FROM GOD, GOD IS FAR FROM YOU. THAT IS WHY HE SAID, “DRAW NEAR UNTO GOD, AND HE WILL DRAW NEAR UNTO YOU, FOR GOD IS FAR FROM THE WICKED.”
………However, thank God, the Elect cannot be deceived because they wait on God at His Word by revelation and not by letter. Knowing this, that all these must come to pass in our day, I warn all men to be patient and not be quick in calling anything God or Devil, lest you will be guilty before God. But prove all things by His written Word and inspired revelation (Divine). Do not be quick in judging anything for time will vindicate all things, whether they be of God or Devil.

BE PATIENT WITH GOD
2019 NEW YEAR MESSAGE [THE YEAR OF THE JUDGEMENT OF THE WORLD] Preached on Tuesday 1st January, 2019;Page 50 verse 9 through 10
2. 9SO BE IT KNOWN TO YOU THAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS THAT GOD IS FAR FROM THE WICKED BUT HE HEARETH THE PRAYERS OF THE RIGHTEOUS. Yes!!!
3. The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. [Proverbs 15:29 KJV]
4. ANOTHER SCRIPTURE SAYS THAT THE EARS OF THE LORD IS ALWAYS ATTENTIVE TO THE PRAYERS OF THE RIGHTEOUS.
5. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. [1 Peter 3:12 KJV]
6. 10SO THIS IS THE YEAR GOD IS GOING TO PROVE TO THE WORLD THAT WE ARE NOT WORSHIPPING HIM IN VAIN. THIS IS THE YEAR WE SHOULD KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE THAT WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH AND THOSE THAT WORSHIP HIM CARNALLY, DIFFERENCE SHOULD BE SEEN AMONG US AS BELIEVERS.
7. All these things he said, started in 2019 in a very silent form. And then became pronounced in 2020.
8. If you are the foolish type, you will now say, “Oh! What THE SON OF MAN said has come”, but you do not know that it started slowly.
9. It is just like sickness. When sickness is starting with you, it seems like nothing has happened to you, but you do not know that this sickness started in you for a long period. But on a very particular day, you see the whole body just changed. Did it start that day? No!
10. This is how the word of God started. All these things He said started, but we can see the clear pronunciation of them now.
11. Business is in the cooler. Men are running helter skater. Is it not well pronounced now? It is!
12. We can now see that the difference God is showing between those who worship God in truth and in spirit and those who worship him carnally is becoming clearer now. Every minute!
13. This is a period that we must recognise that God is talking to us now as He spoke to us in Habakkuk 2 verse 3.
14. 3For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfilment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day. [Habakkuk 2:3 AMP]
15. [3]But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day! [Habakkuk 2:3 LB]
16. When we talk about the wise and the foolish virgins, there is one striking difference in them. The wise set their eyes and heart upon the prophesies of God. Sure!!! They do not wait until the fulfilment, just like the wise men from the east.
17. But the foolish have the prophesy as a head knowledge. Always postponing fulfilment to a later day. So, with time, it fizzles out of them and they fail to be partakers of the fulfilment because they are relaxed. That is pure truth
18. But the wise do not relax just like the wise men. Did the wise men relax? No! They continue till the end, saying, “We have seen the star. And we are here to worship Him.”
19. Did everybody see the star with them? No! So we have seen it and know that with this God, once He has spoken it, it will not fail.
20. Now, we are seeing the reality of what He said to us. This is why the Messages are always alive. You can go back to them and you will see what is happening currently with God leading you there. Yes!!!
21. But if you had started listening to it when it came forth, you know you would have been making arrangement on following what God is telling you.
22. But for you that say, “That is how He use to talk. That is how He use to say things”, will you take it serious then? No! You will relax.
23. Let us see what God said to us. The same God we are worshipping, is the one who spoke to us in Habakkuk 2 verse 3, Living Bible Translation.
24. “But these things I plan…” Is He not the Master planner? [3]But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day! Sure!!!
25. Every true wise Elect of God is not in a hurry. Amen!!! He is always patient with God. Sure!!! Why is he patient? And why is he so sure?”
26. He will eat the fattest bone. A patient fellow eats of the well-processed and dried fish. A patient dog eats the fattest bone, but one that is impatient may even be beaten out of the table. Is it a lie Brethren?
27. When you lift your hand to your mouth, it will move its head up. When you bring down your hand, it will lower its head. Before any crumb of food will fall from the table, it will rush to take it.
28. With a cane, it will be beaten out from there, and the dog will run away from under the table. It will be peeping from afar
29. But that dog which was patiently lying down there will, at the end of the day, inherit all the crumbs on top of the table and underneath the table.
30. The other one will now be regretting its action from a distance, trembling and muttering “Alright! Alright! Alright!” This is because it has seen what it forfeited due to impatience.
31. IMPATIENCE LEADS TO UNGODLY DECISIONS. IMPATIENCE LEADS TO RASH ACTIONS THAT WILL BE REGRETTED LATER.
32. THAT IS WHY A PATIENT FELLOW STUDIES SITUATIONS BEFORE TAKING DECISIONS. HE STUDIES CIRCUMSTANCES BEFORE MAKING STATEMENTS.
33. A PATIENT FELLOW CONSIDERS THE FUTURE AND CARRIES THE FUTURE ALONGSIDE WITH DECISIONS AND STATEMENTS.
34. THAT IS A PATIENT FELLOW. NEVER IN A HASTE. CAN NEVER BE RUSHED INTO ANYTHING OR PUSHED INTO ANY ACTION.
35. HE SCRUTINIZES EVERYTHING. WEIGHS THE PROS AND CONS; THE MERITS AND THE DEMERITS BEFORE HE CAN DABBLE INTO IT.
36. BUT AN IMPATIENT FELLOW, WATCH HOW YOU KNOW THAT PERSON. HIS LIFE IS FULL OF REGRETS. HIS MOUTH IS FULL OF UNNECESSARY APOLOGIES, “I AM SORRY. I AM SORRY. I DID NOT MEAN IT. I DID NOT HEAR YOU WELL.”
37. If you did not hear well, why did you act? You could have crosschecked the information before acting. This is because you are impatient.
38. AN IMPATIENT FELLOW CLAIMS TO BE CLEVER AND SHARP WHEN HE IS DULL. YOU ARE DULL NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE WALKING SLOWLY. YOU ARE DULL BECAUSE YOU ARE REASONING SLOWLY. IS IT A LIE BRETHREN?
39. WHEN YOU HAVE A VERY DULL SENSE OF REASONING; YOU HAVE A LOW MENTALITY; YOU ARE CALLED A DULL STUDENT. IS IT A LIE BRETHREN?
40. YOU CAN BE PHYSICALLY VERY SHARP AND CLEVER, AND JUMP LIKE MONKEY, BUT YOU ARE DULL. AND THAT YOUR DULLNESS REFLECTS IN WHATEVER YOU DO.
41. YOUR WORK WILL DEPICT THAT YOU ARE A DULL STUDENT. [1] POOR HANDWRITING [2] INCOHERENT STATEMENTS AND ANSWERS THAT CANNOT PORTRAY THAT YOU EVER READ THE SUBJECT.
42. From what you are putting on the paper, the lecturer is seeing you live, for the picture of the student reflects in his works. True or false?
43. IT IS THE OUTPUT THAT WILL TELL US THE NATURE OF THE PERSON WHO DID THE WORK.
44. If you see the work done by a calculated person, you will see that it is beautiful. People cherish, appreciate and commend both the fellow and his work.
45. But if you see the work done by a rascal, you will know that it was done by a rascal. All the segments of the assignment will be incomplete and haphazardly done.
46. If you instruct him to clear the dining table, he will leave the tray even if there is food in it, but will even collect the plate you are holding in your hand and just go away, abandoning the rest.
47. If he picks up the cup, he will abandon the spoon. If he picks the broom, he will abandon the bucket. He can never do anything thoroughly. He must always leave something behind, for you to know that he is a rascal.
48. That is why the Bible said that a rascal leaves a trail behind him. A wicked fellow leaves a wicked trail behind him.
49. There was a day the goat we brought here was taken away in the morning by Deacon Vin. My grandson woke up in the morning and said it is a mystery.
50. Nna, come and see! The biggest mystery! How manage? How can? No I will trace it. Nna, come come! I have seen the trail of that goat. I have seen the trail on the ground. It is like the goat went out from the small gate.
51. YOU SEE? YOU ARE LEAVING A TRAIL BEHIND, FOR YOUR CHARACTER CREATES A TRAIL. SURE? IS IT NOT SURE?
52. YOUR CHARACTER IS LEAVING A TRAIL. I CAN TRAIL YOU THROUGH YOUR CHARACTER.
53. Why is he patient and why is he so sure? He knows the God he is worshipping. He knows that what God has said, whether he dies, that thing must come to pass. Sure!
54. When Saint Paul was talking about translation, if you read it, it was as if that translation will happen in his day. It was because saint Paul was sure and certain of what he was saying. He slept in that assurance and he will wake up in that assurance. Amen!
55. 51Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
56. 53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? [1 Corinthians 15:51 – 55]
57. This is because he knows that it is a reality. Sure! This is what happens to very true seed of God. He is sure and certain that whatever God is saying is happening. Guaranteed! So, no matter what happen to him, he knows it will come to pass.
58. Elijah spoke concerning Ahab and Jezebel. And then he slept. He knew that the Word which had gone forth can never return void. Sure! When it came to pass, Elijah was not physically there alive.
59. What are we talking about? The Almighty God said, “This is the year He is going to prove to the whole world that we are not worshipping Him in vain.” We are laying an emphasis on this area.
60. Ecclesiastes 3 verse 1 through 2. There is a right time for everything, a time to be born, a time to die, a time to plant and a time to harvest. LB. Amen.
61. This is the much we will take from the Message. This Message was handled by our Brother Joe Ukpong in the Household of God in his family in Akwa-Ibom. We will read the full text of the Message and engrave it in tape for print so that the entire world will benefit from the treasure.
62. You can see the revelation of a man who is desirous of having eternal life. See the revelation he is imparting into his family. He is not quarrelling. He is not nagging. He is not causing confusion.
63. A man who is handling this type of Message, is he not mindful of the life he is living? And this is his desire that his family will live right like him;
64. And that they will obey THE SON OF MAN and live with THE SON OF MAN as He desires that all of them would live with Him eternally.
65. WHAT IS YOUR OWN DESIRE? DESIRE CANNOT GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT WITHOUT ACTION. DID YOU GET THE MESSAGE NOW?
66. DESIRE PLUS ACTION WILL LEAD YOU TO YOUR DESTINY. DESIRE PLUS ACTION CREATES A DESTINY. AM I RIGHT? MEDITATE ABOUT IT.
67. “DESIRE” plus what? “ACTION” creates what? “DESTINY”
68. YOU CAN NEVER DESIRE TO LIVE RIGHT AND LIVE RIGHT WITHOUT ACTING RIGHT.
69. DESIRE TO LIVE RIGHT AND ACT RIGHT, AND YOU WILL BECOME MR RIGHT OR BROTHER RIGHT. EVERYTHING YOU DO WILL BE JUDGED RIGHT.
70. BUT WHEN YOU DESIRE TO LIVE RIGHT AND ACT WRONG, WILL YOU ACHIEVE YOUR AIM? SO THAT IS WHY DESTINY IS CREATED BY AN INDIVIDUAL THROUGH HIS DESIRES AND ACTIONS.
71. On this note, I say remain blessed in Him eternally.
72. If you understood the little exhortation from the way it took off to where we rounded off this morning, I decided to bring it, not that we will finish it, but to use it as a key post to establish a truth as it is in my heart, using him as a witness.
73. And I believe I have succeeded this morning. No matter how brief it is, I believe it is touching; it is positive; it is direct, although I spoke in diverse dimensions, with all aimed at one thing:
74. Presenting us spotless and unchallengeable at the Gate of Paradise, so that there will be nothing in us that will make us to be turned back.
75. Shall we bow down our heads? Ikem, lead us in prayers.
