FAMILY ALTAR MESSAGE PREACHED ON THURSDAY, 10TH OCTOBER 2019 AT UMUOJI, ANAMBRA STATE BY APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD
He (Christ) is now fulfilling that thing which the law could not do, and then He was teaching and preaching to people what they must do to be perfect. He Himself, first of all, made Himself perfect. Then He made Himself the Author of eternal perfection, unto them that will obey the teachings, not Moses’ laws because now that He is on the scene, Moses is no more. Christ will now continue and all that will now inherit this eternal perfection will now obey Him.

IF YOU KNOW THE HISTORY OF THIS FAITH, HAPPY ARE YOU
If you know the history of this Church, happy are you. Alleluia! The Bride. I think
that will be the anchor of your Faith. That should be what? The anchor of your faith that I am not believing in vain.
2. Many are following without knowing the history. You think it just came out on the way like that or that there is someone who brought Me out.
3. Anybody who came into this Faith, must have heard something first. There is something you must first hear, for Faith cometh by hearing, hearing by the Word. [Romans 10:17]
4. If you had come because of what you saw with your eyes, you have not yet come. You are yet to come in. You must first of all come in for that which you heard with your ears and your hearts bears witness that there is truth in what you have heard.
5. And you processed it and confirmed that there is truth in what you have heard. That is why God wants independent people, and not people who will be here and another person will be dictating for them. Am I the one to tell you that it is the truth? You cannot prove it by yourself?
6. WHEN YOU PROVE IT IS TRUE, YOU HAVE NO FATHER, NO MOTHER, NO WIFE, NO HUSBAND. THIS IS BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW THE WAY THEY ARE SEEING IT. AS FOR ME, I HAVE SETTLED.
7. That is why if you come to a family, it may be one man. You come to the village, it will be only one man. In the whole of Umuoji, it is only Bro Ojiakor.
8. If there is any other person, they should be his children, if that child understands what we are talking about. In the whole of Umuoji, are they two?
9. He would have run away because of that. How can it be that you are the only person from Umuoji that will go to Paradise? This thing that you and you alone is believing, are you sure that it is true?
10. Since you have been preaching this Message, how many people have believed. That was what they asked Jesus. Since you have been preaching this your message, how many people have believed you? Check to see whether any of the Pharisees have believed in it.
11. Because the Pharisees do not believe the message, they concluded that there is no truth in it. The denominations, the catechists, the reverend fathers.
12. Did you not see that when I lifted it up, the man became really discomforted? The wife understood the thing, showed interest and started writing immediately. The man stood up. When he saw that his wife had already started writing, he became very uncomfortable.
13. I hammered the thing and the man was the target. It was like a dog that has seen the one it will devour. This is because he is a clergy man. I harassed and harassed the man repeatedly, the woman retreated and took what she was having and started writing.
14. Immediately he saw that the woman had shown interest, he rose up, “Let’s go. Let’s go. Let’s go.” The one that was seated here was understanding the Message and nodding the head. He looked at the person. He has never seen this type of thing.
15. He rose up from his seat, gazed this way [at the supernatural photographs], but he was not satisfied. Am I the one that told him to go? He was exhibiting haste and hurry and I immediately washed My hands off him.
16. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT WE ARE SAYING. I AM NOT TELLING YOU TO BELIEVE. YOU CANNOT BELIEVE IF YOU ARE NOT FROM GOD.
17. ALL THAT BELONG TO GOD MUST BELIEVE IN ME. BELIEVING MEANS BELIEVING ME FOR WHOM I AM. YOU MUST BELIEVE ME FOR WHOM I AM.
18. Do you really ask yourself the question? Even in your own days, who has ever come like this Man, establishing His authority from the very onset, manifesting it? Not claiming. He is manifesting it, putting everybody into fears.
19. When we were in the denominations, when we see this type of people we faint. They will be telling you, “He is a great man of God.” You will then calmly sit down. And if you remain seated, he will be waving his hands saying, “Bless you; Bless you” just to dominate you.
20. The next thing will be, “Let us pray. Let us pray. Agreement. Agreement. Hold your hands. Hold your hands. Father, in the name of Jesus…”
21. You will then bow down your head. “God the father, God the son, God the holy spirit.” Rubbish!
22. But this one is expulsion. He ran away with his bag, for he can never be comfortable in this one. A person like that who has not even sat down, if you allow him to sit down, things will go bad.
23. The last day I came here, I also sacked one person [a reverend] from here. Lifted the Word and he was dazed. He rose up and looked around for a while and then sat down again.
24. When he could not bear it anymore, he took his brother to leave immediately. I then gave him a parting gift. I gave him the last gunshot.
25. If you know the history of this Church, happy are you. If you know the history of this Faith. This Church means this Faith. Upon this Rock, I will build My Church. It belongs to somebody. Somebody owns it. So, do not claim what does not belong to you. You are not the owner.
26. I think that will be the anchor of your faith, that you are one that can tell the story. That is why, no matter what you suffer in this Faith, you bear it with joy because it is a righteous Man that has smitten us.
27. Amen. 1995! Because it a righteous man. One that is born to righteousness. He is righteousness Himself. Righteousness can never depart from Him. He is the One that has smitten us. YOU ARE GOD’S OWN PROPERTY.
28. Go and look for the message, YOU ARE GOD’S OWN PROPERTY. That is, as many as are in Me and I am in them. I own you in life or in death. In death, you are coming to Me. While you are alive, you are already with Me, never to part again.
29. What is that thing you are trying to build, which He said No to and you are continuing with it? It then means you are sacking yourself.
30. With your own hand, you delete your name and that of your entire family from the salvation plan. He never sent you away. You were the one that removed yourself.
31. Let the righteous man smite Me and I will be happy. The idea is not to kill but to correct.
32. Thus, the Pillar of Cloud dictates the journey, not Brother Odoemena; not Bishop so so and so; not Apostle so so and so.
33. God, who ordained the Ministry, who gathered all of us together, He is the one that dictates the journey.
34. One of the children of My uncle said that the family prepared one very large land, thinking I was coming to establish a big church there, whose general Overseer I will be so that they will then get jobs through the church. Dee Amaechi!
35. He even said they would have ensured they campaigned in the whole of Mbaise and Owerri. And that there would have been no Roman Catholic church again, for they would have magnified Me and the church so much.
36. But on the contrary, they realized that I did not have the intention of establishing any church. And indeed, My people were prepared.
37. They were ready. They will tell you, “Is this Church in our own hometown. What do we do so that the church will be relocated down to us here? Can’t you build a church here? Do they know where the Church is? They think that Church is structure.
38. If the LORD had called Me to prepare a church, all Pentecostal churches would have fizzled out. But he did not call Me to establish a church. And from the time they realized this, they cut me off.
39. Thus, if you are in the Church with your family, the same way, I am sitting down here with My family. Amen.
40. Looking at the Elders that are here, I would not have been numbered among the Ministers. I was nothing in the church then than an ordinary member. I thank God for what He is doing.
41. We never knew that God would have such a revival with a Man until that glorious day, 30th December, 1992. Note it! Have you seen it that we are not telling lies? Yes! 30th December 1992.
42. It was a memorable day. Nobody can forget that experience. He hovered and hovered and hovered, and finally rested on one of us here.
43. That was exactly how it happened that day. The thing hovered, hovered, hovered. Everywhere was shaking as if it was dew dropping. Some said it was rainbow. Very clear for all to see.
44. Finally, it went to One person, just like a swarm of bees buzzing loudly and the community will be shouting and wondering.
45. Finally, the swarm of bees will go to one tree and empty themselves into that tree. The swarm of bees saw all the trees. That was what happened that day. That was why the wife of Bon Diuka shouted.
46. He hovered and hovered and hovered, and finally rested on one of us here. That was how the whole thing started. He hovered and rested on one of us, out of the hundred and something here.
47. The same way, John was bearing witness of this. He said, “There is one standing among you all these years whom you know not and I myself knew him not, but for the purpose that he might be made manifest to Israel, I have been sent to the wilderness baptizing.”
48. There was no other purpose for which John the Baptist was sent to the wilderness than to identify the Lamb of God that taketh away the sons of the world.
49. And he was shown a sign, “Anybody you see the spirit descending and abiding in Him, proclaim Him the Lamb of God.”
50. Hence, while he was baptizing people, he was looking forward to seeing that sign. I do not know the number of days he baptized in the wilderness.
51. People were just coming there in thousands and in millions until one day, Emmanuel, his own cousin appeared.
52. You know, they were cousins. Emmanuel appeared. John looked, looked and looked, and shouted, “Emma! What am I seeing?”
53. They knew each other. What is this I am seeing? Is it because of Emma that I am here? He was expecting somebody else.
54. You know, if God had not told Him Emmanuel will be revealed, John would have doubted because they were playmates.
55. Brother Mike said it that if not that he was the one that used his own camera to capture the Pillar of Cloud, believing it would have been difficult for him. He said, “I would not have believed.”
56. John was watching and watching. He then said, “What am I seeing? Emma! This is unbelievable.” That is what God is doing.
57. Brethren were astonished because nobody knew Me in the end time message. I was not numbered among their ministers. That was why they heard that there was a Man, and they said they must come down to Onitsha.
58. From all walks of life, all roads led to Ugwumba to behold the person. And when they came, they said, “Of a truth, God is not a liar. We have seen that God has vindicated the word of His Son.” But did they identify with Him? No!
59. They did not because of self-materialism. It was disarming them of their source of livelihood. They said they believe in Christ. Yet, they were collecting tithe. 1995!
60. How can you believe in Christ and still go on collecting tithe? It then means you have rejected Christ and His salvation. When you pay tithe and collect tithe, [1] You go back to Sabbath. You will obey the whole of Moses’ Laws.
61. And if you obey the whole of Moses’ laws, you shall be cut off from God’s Grace. Have you heard it? 1995. But Grace was preached fully as Word in 1998. But from the foundation of the Faith, it was Grace from Amazu Oil.
62. You cannot keep one law and leave the rest. When you keep one, you are duty-bound to keep the rest.
63. Brethren, was there any time God deceived anybody? We were the ones that deceived ourselves. STOP FOOLING YOURSELVES BRETHREN. YOU CAN NEVER SERVE TWO MASTERS AT THE SAME TIME.
64. CHOOSE FOR YOURSELF WHO SHOULD BE YOUR MASTER AND LORD. IF THE SON OF MAN IS YOUR MASTER AND LORD, WHERE IS YOUR LOYALTY? WHERE IS YOUR ALLEGIANCE? SHOW PROOF OF YOUR ALLEGIANCE; YOUR FOLLOWERSHIP; YOUR DISCIPLESHIP. Do you speak fish into a pot of soup?
65. You cannot keep one law and leave the rest. When you keep one, you are duty-bound to keep the rest. You offend in one, you have offended in others. All! Is it not Scriptures? Once you are guilty of an aspect of the law, you are guilty of all.
66. You keep all, you live in God’s anger. You keep all, you obtain God’s anger.
67. Thus, if you go to Pentecostal pastors today and you do not pay tithe, you become their enemy. Some will even tell you to pay more than tithe.
68. I was telling the Brethren in Enugu that the Cloud is the One dictating the pace, and it has already moved. Even while I am still here, it is still moving. It has not halted. We have moved.
69. Now, anybody mounting this pulpit to tell us that Jesus Christ is the end of the law, we will tell him we know more than that because he will be dragging the hand of the clock back. 1995!
70. We have known that, we have known the point of our justification. Now we have moved. That is why many have believed the message but cannot attach faith to what they believed.
71. Hallelujah! They have believed but could not attach faith, or mingle it with faith. Abiding faith. Did this matter start today? You see, why it must be this Message this morning?
72. Who do you think led My hand to pick it? Even when I picked this one from the right, placed the two here, My hand reached and faced this one this way and faced this one up.
He is here. I owe no man any apology for saying the truth. I know I am dying for the Truth. Why must I be afraid? I better not. I know, one day, this place must be closed. We will scatter, every man to his home, every woman to her village. Then we will know whether you are godly or not. Godliness is not in the Church. Godliness is in your home. It is in your yard. It is your business. It is in your market and it is in your everything. You come here to receive training and then you go outside to practice it. You see why you must worship God by revelation, that no man, no woman, no preacher will preach out your conviction, because you are certain. IF HE IS NOT HERE, I WOULD NOT BE HERE. THIS IS THE TRUTH. AMEN.

TRY TO WALK VERY CLOSE TO THE GUIDE
Try to walk very close to the Guide… What? Try to walk very close to the Guide…
2. So, we have been having a Guide? If you do not walk close, how can you master His ways? WHEN YOU DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM THE GUIDE, YOU ARE GOING TO BE LOST.
3. He will get to a point where He will divert and you will not know. He will take right while you take left because you are not walking close to the guide. Brethren, are you understanding what is being taught? 1995!
4. The Prophet said; “When this Hazrat Mahdi shall be revealed, if you are alive and you are around that place”, he said “Abandon everything, run to Him, grip Him, get acquainted with Him and never depart.” See the Message of 1995.
5. Try to walk very close to the guide and then you will survive… Last Sunday, we heard it that nobody is willing to do this work with Me. And I asked; “Will I do this walk alone?”
6. How can you walk with Me when you are not close? Everybody minding his own business, minding carnal, carnal things. Nobody even asks questions, “Brother, how are you faring in the field? What is the scope of work? Daddy, how is work going on?”
7. Who has ever called to enquire from Me about the Ministry? Who has ever called? You all are Ministers. Who has ever picked his phone one day to call Me, “Daddy, Please I just want to know. How is this Ministry moving? How about this one? How about that one?” Who has ever?
8. Whoever that calls Me calls to tell Me about his trip he is embarking on or to tell Me that his wife is at the point of death or to tell me that his children are dying, or that he is opening a business.
9. I will be answering you. I will be attending to you because I do not accuse you in the other side, for from old, I know men find it difficult to walk with God. Only a few walk with God by revelation.
10. Notice even in the Scriptures that women delighted themselves in walking with God more than men. Even on the way to Calvary, women were there.
11. When He was killed and buried, early hours of the morning, women courageously took oil, went to the grave side to anoint the body according to the law, or according to their tradition, only to discover that the tomb was empty.
12. Who were the people that discovered that He has resurrected? Was it not the women folk? Who were the people He instructed to go and tell the Apostles? Was it not the women folk?
13. When the Apostles were told, did they believe? They went back and continued with whatever they were doing, to the extent that Peter went out naked with his friends for fishing.
14. While they were still at the seashore, he saw the one coming before him, for he thought He was dead, not knowing that He was still alive.
15. He [Jesus] said, “O! Is this the promised you made to me of how you are going to feed the flock? You thought I was dead, but I am still here. Behold, you have gone back to that which you were known for, thinking all is finished”.
16. But the women were steadfast. The other group came to the Tomb and saw that it was open.They simply turned back and went their way.
17. But women saw that the tomb was open and they sat beside the Tomb weeping and asking, “Where have they taken the body of the Lord [Jesus Christ]? Please, if you know where His body was kept, show us.” But to the men, anyone that peeps inside the tomb simply goes his way. They were sore aggrieved indeed.
18. Try to walk very close to the guide and then you will survive. WE KNOW WHAT SIN IS ALL ABOUT. WE HAVE CROSSED THAT STAGE… He said, “We know what sin is all about. We have crossed that stage. 1995!
19. You cannot take us back. We are marching forward because we are heading towards a land.
20. Thus, since we are not the ones dictating the journey, He that is leading us should know when we are obedient… What? …He that is leading us should know when we are obedient… and when we are disobedient.
21. If He has now concluded that He is okay with us concerning the day, He will elevate us to a higher ground. Amen! He will do what? Elevate us to a higher ground.
22. HE THAT IS IN OUR MIDST IS THE CLOUD: He that is in our midst is what? The Cloud. The photograph had not been taken by then. Any stammering? Any discordant tone? Does the Voice sound like that of one who is afraid?
23. I KNOW WHO I AM. THAT SOMEBODY IS TALKING TO YOU AND AFTER THAT HE TELLS YOU TO BELIEVE IT IF YOU CAN.
24. IF YOU BELIEVE, IT REMOVES NOTHING FROM HIM. IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE, IT ADDS NOTHING TO HIM. WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I AM WHAT I AM.
25. At the commandment of the Lord the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the Lord they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.
26. And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the Lord, and journeyed not.
27. And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the Lord they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the Lord they journeyed.
28. And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.
29. Whether it was by day or by night; Convenient or not convenient; Whether it is convenient or not. Which means the people were ever willing to move by day or by night. At the command, it is one way.
30. Nobody will give any flimsy excuses of trying to get his fowls or to assemble his goats.
31. I have a programme at Nsukka. I also have one at Enugu. I will be going to my hometown for a burial. There is a piece of land I want to purchase somewhere.
32. By day or by night, no excuse. And there was no living human being that knew when the Cloud will move. Not even Moses knew.
33. What if you were still feeling very sleepy by the time he commands you to move, you will start giving Him excuses and appealing for time so that you can take your bath? That is the reason, they were ready at all times.
34. The moment they see Moses preparing, everybody will be preparing. Moses cannot be awake and the people will be sleeping.
35. You can only sleep because Moses is sleeping. Once he gets up, you must get up. Because through Moses, you will know what is happening.
36. BUT THIS TIME AROUND, A GREATER THAN MOSES IS HERE. NOT TALKING TO MOSES, AND MOSES TALKING TO AARON.
37. And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.
38. Brethren, the burial and this Word, which one do you choose?
39. You see, when it remained there, the children of Israel tarried in their tents. But when it is taken up, they journeyed.
40. This part is very essential because anywhere the Pillar of Cloud, which is the presence of the Almighty God tarried, that is when Job is on the ash heap.
41. Any Minister that comes to the pulpit will be treating, “Job on the ash heap.” In the morning, “Job on the ash heap.”
42. Look at where God is. This is God. This is God’s Tabernacle. This is the Elohim. This is the Deity. So you keep on mentioning “Job on the ash heap”.
43. All you will do is to make everyone see where the Cloud is resting. No more. No less. Your eye should not leave there. Your heart should not leave there. Your duty is, “Hear ye Him”.
44. We are no longer looking to see who He is or whether He will come or not. We shall see Jesus. We shall meet him in the city made of gold. You are only singing. Look at Him here. Behold Him! And we are sure and certain.
45. So, salvation is real.The Kingdom of Heaven is real. Hell is real. If you do not believe it, it then means you do not believe that life and death are real. Life is real. Death is equally real.
46. Have you asked yourself this question “Why did you not appear in the time of your forefathers? Why did you appear in this age? Since you appeared, have you enquired about the people that appeared here before you, since you know everything. Do you know the day you will stop?
47. He that is threatening and boasting with pride about what he will do and issuing sanction to others, what if, after giving the sanctions, you did not wake up the next day? You that said, “Over your dead body”, you will be here and things will be happening before your eyes.
48. Since you know everything, what you do not know is who will bury you when you die. You will not know where your wealth is when you die. You only know where it is because you are alive.
49. That you know the number of children you have, is it not because you are alive? You do not tell the deaf that there is riot in the market place.
50. Brother continue with the reading. Since you have agreed that we bury ourselves while alive, let us have our own burial while we are still alive before we go for the burial of that woman.
51. The corpse belongs to CMS not us. The corpse we have is you and I. And that is the burial we are doing now.
52. THIS IS SO BECAUSE YOUR STATE WHILE ALIVE WILL DETERMINE YOUR DESTINATION WHEN YOU DIE. WHEN YOU CHOSE THE WAY YOU WANT TO LIVE, YOU HAVE CHOSEN THE WAY YOU WILL DIE.
53. WHEN YOU CHOSE THE PATH YOU WANT TO FOLLOW, YOU HAVE CHOSEN YOUR DESTINATION. WHEN YOU FOLLOW CHRIST, YOUR DESTINATION IS PARADISE.
54. WHEN YOU FOLLOW SATAN, YOUR DESTINATION IS HELL. SO EVERY TRACK YOU ARE FOLLOWING LEADS YOU TO YOUR DESTINATION.
God is in the Camp, God is speaking to us in the Camp, God is moving in the Camp. Be gentle and receive His Voice. God has exposed everything to you; The danger of leaving Jerusalem for Jericho. You that are privileged to be in Jerusalem, witnessing the glory of God, why do you want to go to Jericho?

WE HAVE A GUIDE
Any Minister that comes to the pulpit will be treating, “Job on the ash heap.” In the morning, “Job on the ash heap.” In the night, “Job on the ash heap.” Every Message, “Job on the ash heap.”
2. Then people will be complaining, “Everyday, Job on the ash heap. When will this Job get up from the ash heap?”
3. It does not concern God. It does not worry Moses because Moses is fixing his eyes somewhere. God in the Cloud knows when Job has survived and has got up from the ash heap.
4. When God says you will be here for one year, nobody moves. You dare not try it and you cannot command God.
5. You do not move because you do not know the way. What you have to do is to abide where the cloud abides… “What you have to do is what? Abide where the cloud abides.”
6. And then why are you disturbing yourself when I am still here? Can you hasten Me? The highest thing you can do is to rebel and go away.
7. If I say “come back”, know that I do not know who I am, for I am the only One that has never solicited any man’s membership. Check all men of God of old. Moses never solicited any man’s membership. Abraham, Isaac, etc. Did any solicit for members by saying, “Follow me?”
8. You are the one to decide. If you know the value of gold, go for it. Gold will not come to you. You are to go for gold. I do not need you, but you can never see life without Me. Hence, if you want to have that life, I am the life, I am the truth, I am the way.
9. So I do not bribe anybody into believing Me. You have to bribe Me. And bribing Me means obeying Me. I do not need your favour, but you need My favour. I do not need your support. You need My support. You cannot help Me, but without Me you can do nothing.
10. That which you think you are, in just one second, when you look back, it will be “Once upon a time.”We will sing for you. SONG: [You were once eating very well. But now you are starving. Bear it. You once had a car. But now you walk on foot. Bear it.] I will tell you, “Do not worry. It shall be well.”
11. You do not know that God went there to touch it just to show you that you do not have anything. You have nothing. If it has to do with your children, He will take all of them the way He took those of Job.
12. He knows what to do. He will just put all of you in the same vehicle and push you into a river. He will save only you and all that will help you out. When you are done with the burial of the dead, you will then marry a new wife.
13. He can deliver all of you to the trailer [heavy duty truck] where your entire family will perish, but he will bring you out as the only survivor. People will say, “This man has a very potent talisman. He has just wasted his wife and children.”
14. When you come to Me, there is no other thing I will tell you apart from reminding you those who lost all their children, and those that died under a collapsed building.
15. We will even read it in the Bible. And they were all buried. Then God will be watching you and be saying, “Yes! Now he has started life afresh. Let us see whether he will know that God is worthy to be feared.”
16. Has there been any evil in any city and the Lord has not done it? Can there be evil in the city and the LORD has not done it? [Amos 3:6] He that makes life and makes death. [1 Samuel 2:6] He makes war and He makes peace. He makes a man great. He debases a man.
17. Why can’t you fear such a person? Somebody that can tell you the number of hairs on your head, the number of grains of sand on your feet, telling the actually figure without counting them one after the other. Why can’t you fear Him? It is necessary that we understand where we are going.
18. At the command of the Lord, why are you fooling yourself? When God said, “Move”, have you moved one bit? You all are still standing where you are standing.
19. LOOK AT WHAT ALL OF YOU ARE AND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS: Take this cup for instance. If you load this cup up to three quarters of it capacity with water and then fill it up to the brim with oil which will be floating on the water, if the cup is lifted, you will think that you are having a cup of oil.
20. If there is any little movement, the oil will spill and then you will easily notice that the cup is filled with water.
21. You all placed the Word of THE SON OF MAN on top like the oil while you are all filled with water.
22. But God wants the cup [the individual] to be filled with oil [The Word] from the bottom to the top. You must be filled with the Word of God, with the Spirit of Truth. God never said your foundation should be water while the top is oil.
23. When they repented and were baptized, the evidence was that they cast off the old life; the old living. They poured the old water away. They turned themselves upside down and emptied the old nature.
24. After that, the vessel was dried with a dry cloth. Then fresh milk of the Word was now used to fill it so that from the bottom to the top will be the Word. Where then will water come in from?
25. We have reduced the content of this bottle here. From the water level to the top is filled with air. It is not empty. It is filled, partly water and partly air. If you want to remove the air, you will fill it with water to the brim and then keep it. Till eternity, air will not enter it.
26. This is how you laid a foundation with evil character, examples and the thoughts and imaginations of your heart and you continually loaded yourself until you were almost filled.
27. Then you heard the Word of God and now used it to fill the remaining space up to the brim; applying the Word of God on top.
28. WHOSOEVER THAT UNDERSTANDS THIS ADAGE SHOULD GO AND THINK.
29. There is no vessel that was cleansed before the Word came in. When the Word came, it had no resting place. That is why, with any little movement, the Word of God can easily spill out and what will remain will be water.
30. IT IS EASIER TO CLEAR THE DEBRIS OF A FALLEN STRUCTURE THAN TO
EXCAVATE THE OLD FOUNDATION.
31. If this house is pulled down, one week is enough to clear the debris but to remove the foundation may take up to four months. And you can never erect a new structure on the foundation of a building that collapsed. It cannot happen, for it must collapse again.
32. WHY PUTTING THE WORD ON TOP OF THE WATER? WHY USING THE WORD AS MASK TO MASK THE SURFACE? WHY ARE WE FOOLING OURSELVES?
33. There is no type of illustration I will not use just to make sure you see yourself in the picture. Because if it is filled from the bottom to the top, you cannot get water in it while pouring it out.
34. Is it not oil you will get all through? Whenever the oil [Word] falls short of the desired level, you fill it. Is it a lie? It will be impossible for it to finish.
35. God in the Cloud knows when Job has survived… He spoke to Moses through the Cloud.
36. When the Church arrived at Kadesh Barnea, you know what happened there. We thank God that we are at least living witnesses that He that is in our midst is God Himself, and He has been leading us at every stage.
37. 1995! No mincing words. He that gathered us is God. He that is with us is God. Let it not be the one you are being shown from the book of Enoch, and this and that, as if God has arrived, as if God arrived last year or that God arrived this year. God was the One from 30th December 1992.
38. [Evangelist Ben Okezue: Daddy, I did not believe because of Enoch.]
39. Give Me a hand shake. Was Mohammed the one who told Me that God is one? How many came and said that God is one? Was he the one that said God is the creator of the whole universe?
40. What I am gathering are the loose ends. And that is why anywhere I see the truth, I will pick it up. So no matter the religion you find yourself, if you perish, you will know that you decided to perish.
41. At one time or the other, Truth came to you. Whoever that drops his or her own, I will pick it up. In the Assemblies of God, I will pick. Wherever I see the truth, I will pick it up. After gathering them it will form the Kingdom of Truth; Paradise of truth.
42. There has never been any stage He never announced ahead of time. Brethren, is it a lie?
43. There has never been a Message preached in this Faith that was never prophesied ahead of time, telling you, “So so and so time, you are going to hear so so and so Message”, preparing you ahead of time.
44. One day, the thing will arrive. The Message we heard ahead of time, at times, it may take up to one year before we get to that land. Pure truth!
45. When the land of tithe was proclaimed at Amazu Oil, it took one year four months for us to arrive at the land of tithe.
46. Land of tithe. God arrived there. It was prophesied at Amazu. One year four months, God arrived there. When we arrived there, it became clearer.
47. Now we have been talking about marriage and divorce. It is a land that has been prophesied. One day, we will get there whether we like it or not.
48. And we later arrived there. Have you seen it? Every doctrine is a land. It signifies growth. Another level. Next level. Next level of Faith.
49. It is a spiritual journey, for the natural things are tied to spiritual things. The natural Israel matched along nations. Spiritual Israel will match along lands and countries spiritually.
50. We know when we got to the nation of Babylon. We know how we escaped from Babylon. We know the captivity. We were all captives to Babylon religion. We know how the LORD severed us. Let us continue looking unto God.
51. I AM SAYING THAT THERE IS A MOSES IN EVERY EXODUS. THERE CAN NEVER BE AN EXODUS WITHOUT A GUIDE, A MOSES ON THE SCENE. AND THAT PERSON MUST BE CALLED FROM AMONG HIS PEOPLE,…
52. Brethren, have you seen that the Message is clear? Any contradiction? It is blending with even the recent Messages. 1995! How many years? 24years.
53. AND THAT PERSON MUST BE CALLED FROM AMONG HIS PEOPLE, HIS BRETHREN. He that can now look up to the sky like Moses and say, “You can now take your photographs…”
54. Brethren! When we had not taken the Photographs. When we had not taken any photograph. The photograph was taken on 7th April, 1996
55. Who said God should not be feared? You think we are doing abracadabra? WHY ARE WE FOOLING OURSELVES? If we are not sure of what we are believing, why are we continuing?
56. If we are not continuing spiritually, why not draw back physically and allow THE SON OF MAN to continue His journey because He remains the self-existing One. He is not tying His Faith to you.
57. I am not tying My faith to anybody. I am alone. Even on the day I made the declaration, “Bench rabbis, pulpit rabbis one side.” I alone remained one side. And I won the battle.
58. THERE IS A MOSES IN EVERY EXODUS. THERE CAN NEVER BE AN EXODUS WITHOUT A GUIDE, A MOSES ON THE SCENE.
59. AND THAT PERSON MUST BE CALLED FROM AMONG HIS PEOPLE, HIS BRETHREN, HE THAT CAN NOW LOOK UP TO THE SKY LIKE MOSES AND SAY,“YOU CAN NOW TAKE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS…”
60. Brethren look at the photographs. He was gazing at the sky when the photographs were taken. Check the photographs. Look at the prophecy. The same way Moses gazed at the sky, the same way He was continually gazing at the sky.
61. He was continually gazing at the sky and the people were wondering “What could be this thing this Man is gazing at, in the sky?” Elder Mike Ajama asked Elders “What could this man be gazing at, up there in the sky? He will keep on gazing at the thing until His eyes are fixed at one point.
62. When He is coming out, He will behave like an Ijele masquerade. He will behave as if He is putting on clothes, move around for a while even in a circular manner, shake Himself, and then begin to speak.”
63. With this now, whenever you hear “THE CLOUD IS HERE”, you should know the personality.” If you say, “Until I see with my eyes”, it then means there is a cloud you have in mind. It means there is a picture of cloud you have in mind which is not this one God is talking about. You have another cloud in mind.
64. And that person must be called from among His people, His Brethren. He that can now look up to the sky like Moses and say, “You can now take your photographs”, and you will see the One spearheading the journey surrounding Him…Alleluia!
65. And you will see the one that has been spearheading the journey surrounding Him. 17th January 1995. Is there any other Message greater than this?
66. Believe the indictment that all of you are fooling yourselves. You are not fooling Me. You have vowed to destroy your families with your own hands. Your children have believed. Your wives have believed more than you, but you do not want them to exercise their faith. This is the truth.
67. You are the one hindering them. And they are no longer happy with you. All is not well with your families, in less than one week you went home. Do not worry. Time will vindicate Me today.
68. If it continues with the way I am seeing it and the way they are reporting to Me, Brethren will hear something that will make their ears to tingle, and then you will believe that it is God that is speaking to you in the house of Apostle Ojiakor.
69. He is the one that will tell us when we should move and when we should stop. NOW, HE HAS DECLARED THAT THE MOVEMENT IS ON. YOUR DUTY IS TO ABANDON WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING AND MOVE...
No man has ever seen God. But with the eye of Faith, we have seen God. How many believe God is in the midst of the Bride? That is Faith and by Faith, we will be in rapture whether the devil likes it or not. You see how Faith works?….. FAITH DOES NOT CONSIDER HIS CONDITION; HE CONSIDERS THE PROMISE OF GOD CONCERNING HIS CONDITION. GOD IS IN OUR MIDST. HE HAS COME DOWN. I AM HAPPY. I KNOW IT MUST HAPPEN THIS WAY. GLORY BE TO YOU! HOLY FATHER, THANK YOU FOR CONFIRMING YOUR WORD.
FAITH; preached on Friday 12th March 1993; Page 43 vs. 17, Page 51 vs. 39 – 40 & Pg. 73 vs. 19

WHATEVER GOD DOES IS PERMANENT
I think there has never been a burial like this. It is true we have been meeting in private places but this one is an extra ordinary one.
2. But My only regret is that your wives are not here and your children are not here. But I thank God the youths drawn from this area, that at least a good number of them are here.
3. Will they allow them to listen? They will record but they will never allow them to listen. They will listen and then tell them. Distort the facts. How many can just give the message raw to the family, put it in the loudspeaker? “I want you to listen and I want you to exhaust all. Hear with your ear”.
4. They will never, lest they run into difficulties with them. One that covers the truth, does he allow another person to touch his phone?
5. But he will be the one that will take delight in collecting another person’s phone and go to the call log, messages, etc. After going through the phone, he will then keep it back immediately.
6. But his own will be kept like Igwe Amobi’s own. The only time his family members brought it out from his pocket was when he died. When his pocket was searched, the only thing that was found there was his phone.
7. NOW, HE HAS DECLARED THAT THE MOVEMENT IS ON. YOUR DUTY IS TO ABANDON WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING AND MOVE. Amen!
8. A PILGRIM, A STRANGER CANNOT MAKE A PERMANENT STRUCTURE ON THE WAY UNTIL HE GETS TO HIS FINAL DESTINATION OR PERMANENT LAND.
9. THUS ANYTHING YOU ARE BUILDING TODAY IS A TEMPORARY STRUCTURE… AMEN! Which means that it should not hinder you from worshiping God.
10. There is nothing here that has any guarantee of permanence. It should not be an excuse “Well, if not for this thing; If only Daddy will allow me to finish this one today. Then, tomorrow, I will face the other one.”
11. The truth is that you are not worthy of the Kingdom. Daddy will be very willing to listen to you? Before you will say it, He had already approved it for you. “Have you finished? Thank you! Go!”
12. This is because I am shedding weight. Since you are no longer going, go your way. Even if you come back later, I already know that you are one of those that strayed away.
13. You will now be a part of those that will dance with us. If you bring food, we will eat. If you bring wine, we will drink. That place to which you stray, did you not bring wine and food?
14. That I ate food here does not make Me to be anything. That is not the Kingdom of Heaven. It is not eating and drinking.
15. As you are eating, it is to enjoy this life. As you drink you drink to life. When you eat, you get more robust. Finish! I know where I am standing. I know I am not with you.
16. A pilgrim, a stranger cannot build a permanent structure on the way until he gets to his final destination or permanent land…
17. Taking a permanent decision in a changing world, drawing a permanent principle in a changing world; “This is how I want it. No more!”
18. You forgot that you may become lame tomorrow and the person you hate will be the one carrying you about. You may become lame and your enemy will feed you. It will no longer be “Over your dead body.”
19. SO, YOU CANNOT TAKE A PERMANENT DECISION, ESTABLISH A PERMANENT PRINCIPLE IN A CHANGING WORLD. GOD IS NOT STATIC. GOD IS A LIVING ORGANISM. HE TALKS. HE MOVES.
20. Thus, any tent you are pitching today is a temporary structure. Sincerely speaking, if you are building a storey-building today, and you are a pilgrim, that building is a tent. It is temporary.
21. As at that time, we have not dreamt of building an upstair. Have we been able to feed ourselves? But today, we are in a storey building. It was built in My own place. That is why He told you, “Off your eyes from there. It is not paradise.”
22. That is what God is telling us now. That we are pilgrims. Anywhere the Cloud stops, there we shall stop. And everybody will relax, hearing from Him, feeding from Him.
23. You do not know how long He will stay. You do not know if He will move by day or by night. The most important thing is moving whenever He moves. The command will come from Moses to the seventy Elders.
24. Then the seventy Elders allotted to the twelve tribes will disseminate the information, so that anywhere you are, you will hear that the move has started.
25. All you have to do is to run to the Mountain and acquaint yourself with the current stage of the Ministry. Whenever God does something, he wants His people to acknowledge it and receive it.
26. These spiritual things happen within the natural realm. When the LORD came to the Throne, He was in a natural body. They did not recognize nor receive Him. His people rejected Him, and therefore, His wrath came upon them.
27. THIS IS OUR DAY. WE MUST RECOGNIZE THE PROMISED ONE AND ALSO ACCEPT WHAT BELONGS TO US. IF IT IS HIDDEN FROM US, GRACE IS NOW FALSE AND JUDGMENT WILL NOW COME UPON US. JUDGMENT WILL COME NOW.
28. Did you get what our Brother Frank was saying by revelation? When you reject what God is doing in your day, you have spurned God’s Grace. God will wait for you in judgment… God will wait for you in judgment because you have spurned it.
29. AS IT IS THEN, WE JUST KNEW HIM ACCORDING TO HIS WORD. HIS WORD WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE JUDGMENT OF THE FIRST TRIBULATION.
30. THEN, I AM HERE AS THE ONE WHO SPEAKS AND HEARS FROM THE LORD… I am here as the One who speaks and hears from the LORD. Not you!
31. THE JUDGMENT STARTS EVEN NOW. … God is merciful but does not permit His people to reject what He is giving to them. What?
32. God is merciful but does not permit His people to reject what He is giving to them. We must receive and accept it., otherwise, His blood will be upon us.
33. As we are now, nothing is more important than being connected to whatever God stored according to the promised Word AND TO BE FOUND IN HIS PERFECT WILL…“And to be found in His perfect will”.
34. Nothing is more important than this. With Israel, His natural Covenant, He had to emit judgment because they did not recognize the gracious visitation and the first coming of Christ.
35. Only to them who truly received Him did He make the children of God. We can balance it in the Holy Scriptures. You know that. [John 1:12]
36. …We are now at the end of the time of Grace and again, in a Prophetic age…END OF THE TIME OF GRACE AND ALSO A PROPHETIC AGE.
37. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son… You know the passage very well. Now He went further.
38. This has actually happened ever since, and right until our time and through the Holocaust, God is full of mercy.
39. His grace is unlimited but if somebody misplaces this attribute of His, he might face death. Then, His wrath and judgment will actually come up.
40. For 2000 years, the Jews have been persecuted. It is not yet over. After the taking away [Translation of the Bride Church], the wrath [judgment of God] will fully come down upon the earth.
41. What is more? There will be many who called themselves believers that will have to go through the great tribulation just because they did not receive what God is presently doing according to the promised Word…
42. Many can say, “We have Jesus Christ. We do not need any man sent from God again.” If He, the Apostle is promised in God’s Word, then we have to respect Him. Otherwise, God’s wrath is unavoidable.
43. Is it promised in God’s word? I WILL SEND YOU APOSTLES AND PROPHETS. Is it promised? That settles it. You want Jesus only? Go ahead! But Jesus said, “He will send Apostles and Prophets.” Do not bother. We are not talking about THE SON OF MAN.
44. God demands His people to acknowledge His Word and His work. You can say, “I do not need the Man God has sent.” But He is saying, “If God promised it in His Word to send you that Man, you are already in trouble if you reject Him, for the wrath of God cannot be avoided here.”
45. THERE MUST BE A MAN GOD SENDS IN YOUR DAY TO FOREWARN YOU FOR GOD CAN NEVER STRIKE A NATION WITHOUT FOREWARNING THEM
46. THERE MUST BE A WATCHMAN IN EVERY GENERATION. THUS, WHEN THE SIGNAL IS WARNING, HE CHARGES YOU NO COST. THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT HE IS SAYING.
47. HE DOES NOT DEMAND ANYTHING FROM YOU THAN TO SHARE THE WORD OF GOD TO ENABLE YOU ESCAPE HIS WRATH.
48. TO EXPLAIN THE FUTURE PROMISES AWAY DOES NOT BENEFIT ANYBODY. YOU WANT TO SMARTLY, CUNNINGLY EXPLAIN THE FUTURE PROMISES OF GOD AWAY, SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU DO NOT WANT TO IDENTIFY WITH IT.
49. YOU TRY TO BUILD UP A MESSAGE TO CANCEL IT. YOU SEE, IT DOES NOT PROFIT ANYBODY. THEY HAVE TO BE RECOGNIZED IN THEIR VARIOUS POSITIONS.
50. WE ARE NOW EXPERIENCING THE CLIMAX IN OUR OWN CLIME [PLACE] IN THE GENTILE, OUR OWN NATION. WHAT WAS FORETOLD IN THE OLD AND THE NEW TESTAMENT, FOR OUR TIME IS BECOMING A REALITY BEFORE OUR EYES.
51. MANY ARE CALLED BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN:… As a result, you can claim to be whatever you want to be but Christ knows who you are and where you belong. Hallelujah! Christ knows who you are and what will become of you?
52. THIS MESSAGE IS PERMANENT BECAUSE WHATEVER GOD DOES IS PERMANENT.
53. So, attempting to tamper with it means foolishness. That is why He said, “If you do not believe, leave it there. Do not tamper with it and do not discourage people from believing. Keep your unbelief to yourself.”
54. …THE GOD OF MANKIND AND THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH ARE IRREVERSIBLE. IT CANNOT BE STOPPED. WHATEVER GOD HAS PURPOSED MUST HAPPEN WHENEVER THE TIME IS RIPE.
55. MOST IMPORTANT TO GOD ARE THE PREDICTIONS IN THE BIBLE PERTAINING TO THE END OF TIME WE ARE LIVING IN. THE PREDICTIONS CONCERNING THE END OF THE PERIOD OF GRACE. 1995! Period of Grace which we are living in.
56. THE PREDICTIONS CONCERNING THE END OF THE PERIOD OF GRACE, BECAUSE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PERIOD OF GRACE, WHAT WILL COME IS JUDGMENT.
57. CHECK YOUR BIBLE, CHECK YOUR HISTORY. WHAT FOLLOWS GRACE IN EVERY DISPENSATION IS JUDGMENT. GRACE WILL PROVIDE A SAVIOUR WHILE GRACE WILL FOREWARN YOU.
58. BUT IF YOU DO NOT PAY HEED TO THE WARNING, THEN JUDGMENT WILL RISE. LET ME GO A LITTLE FURTHER. I WILL BACK IT UP WITH SCRIPTURES, GOD HELPING ME. January 17th1995.
59. WE BETTER BE VERY, VERY, CAREFUL WITH THE HOUR WE ARE LIVING IN BECAUSE IT IS A DANGEROUS HOUR WHERE THERE ARE LOTS AND LOTS OF DIFFERENT NATIONS ON THE LAND. Different nations on the land. Churches.
60. WHAT IS THE NAME OF YOUR GOD?: 1995. What is the name of the God you worship? Every God must have a name. Brethren, it is like you are all showing interest. This is because I have not seen anyone who is feeling sleepy.
61. There is life in the library. You see, the wife of Igwe Amobi said it is Ichabod. The glory departed from Amobi and landed here. Have you wondered why this library has been on a journey?
62. From Bro. Mike to Mama Ibekwe. From Mama Ibekwe to Oba. From Bro Philip to Amobi. From Amobi to Ojiakor. If you do not make your wife and children to know that the Ark of God is here, it will leave one day.
63. Let it be known to you that of all the people the Ark left their place, it is only Amobi that died before the Ark left his house. Others were alive and the Ark left.
64. …Thank God for what He is doing. There was something that happened at Kadesh. The LORD circled all the people that murmured and complained against the servant of God.
65. ….We will remain here until everybody even infants will understand by personal revelation what the Lord is doing… Hallelujah!
66. We will remain here. No rapture. No translation until every infant will understand by revelation. And now you are sent home to go and help them. Instead of helping them, you are helping them outside God’s salvation. WHAT IS THE NAME OF YOUR GOD?
67. The Message I have for you is very short. The moment I introduce it, I will stop. This is just the foundation, introduction. The moment I introduce it, I will stop.
68. Ecclesiastes 3:14 – 16 I know that whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men might fear before him.
69. …Worshipping God is a strict business, you have to investigate and enquire… 1995. You do not believe anyhow.
70. …The name of God has remained a secret until our own day when He was made visible in human form in the church… Hallelujah! 1995, 17th January. Brethren, any contradiction? 24years after.
71. …But now, the call has been extended to us with His new name.
72. The call has been extended to us with His new Name. We were afar off. The new Name of God and its power. Brethren, this Message is striking. If I have 10 copies, it is not too much. Brethren bye-bye.
