WHY ME? Preached ON Sunday 22nd January 2023 AT THE VOICE OF GOD STUDIO Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria BY Apostle Peter Odoemena THE SON OF MAN The Master Builder

Transcribed by Deacon David Mbah Students’ Fellowship MOUAU, Abia State

SEE WHAT [an incredible] quality of love the Father has given (shown, bestowed on) us, that we should [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of God! And so we are! The reason that the world does not know (recognize, acknowledge) us is that it does not know (recognize, acknowledge) Him.

1 John 3:1    Amplified Version         

It is just like here. Any moment from now, the world will know Who I am. Very shortly, the world will go after Me. And by the time they will know what is happening, I am already on My way home. The Man-child has been born. Publish it wide. Tell them that the Man-child has been born. Tell them because I am commanding you to. If it is not true, I will not be saying it with every amount of authority. From the very word go, you know I have been talking to you as One having Authority. I have not been teaching you like one of the Pharisees. I have been making affirmative statements challenging the whole world.

ARE YOU CONVINCED?; preached on Sunday 15th April, 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 171 vs. 37 – 38

THE MESSAGE OF THE SON OF MAN HAS PRODUCED TWINS

Be seated. I thank God Who has given us all these facilities to enable us worship Him under conducive atmosphere. I just want to thank God this day for sustaining our lives till this very hour.

  • You really do not know what God is doing for you until you have run into difficulty. I do not pray that I should run into difficulty for me to acknowledge the miraculous works of God around me.
  • Even going to bed and waking up, is it not a miraculous wonder? Last week we all heard it. Professor Ikonne died in accordance with prophecy. On January 01, THE SON OF MAN opened His mouth wide and told you what to expect in the year 2023. You heard the whole thing.
  • He said that you should forget about politics. I told you that I personally do not want to identify myself with the politics that is associated with anything called religion. I just want to identify with Christ and Christ alone. So, when you want to play your religious politics, do not come near me. Do not bring it into My Household.
  • I know that man, by nature, is a political being, and being a political being, he politicizes everything that comes His way. He even makes politics with his own eternal destiny; gambling with their eternal destinies.
  • Can you imagine people politicizing national and natural disasters? I say, national and also natural disasters. Matters that are not meant to be politicked about. How do you do politics with the welfare of your people?
  • I cannot politicize the welfare of members of My Family. Neither will I compromise it for any reason at all.
  • So, whosoever that is the head of administration of any country and he is playing politics with the welfare of the inhabitants of his nation is a hireling. I said, a hireling. He is just there because of the gains of that office. He is not a true leader.
  • Unfortunately, we do not have leaders. We have rulers. We have rulers who rule us with authority. They rule us by power. They rule us by force. They rule us as their slaves. We have no say.
  • It is just like Pharaoh ruled in Egypt. All the children of God were in bondage under his rulership.
  • You see, when an evil man is on the throne, the Bible said, “The inhabitants of that city suffer terribly, and evil is let loose.” And another Scripture that I love so much said, “When God wants to punish a nation, He gives them bad rulers that will torment them.”
  • References: [1] Proverbs 29:2 KJV.
  • I believe that our nation has sinned greatly against God, for we have spilled innocent blood more than any other generation. I mean, here in Nigeria. I do not want to go global, though the LORD predicted that we are living in the bloodiest year.
  • And from that time ahead, it will never cease, for the evil that started in the beginning will keep on increasing in tempo as we journey along. Never expect a better day again. No! No! No!
  • There is only but one better day that I am expecting. That better day is ahead of us – the Saints of God.
  • SONG: [O happy day, that fixed my choice On Thee, my Saviour and my God! Well may this glowing heart rejoice, And tell its raptures all abroad.
  • Happy day, happy day, When the LORD comes and takes me home! He taught me how to watch and pray, And live rejoicing every day. Happy day, happy day, When the LORD comes and takes me home!]
  • That is the only happy day. Happy day, when the LORD will come and take us home.
  • SONG: [Some golden daybreak, Christ will come; Some golden daybreak, battles all won, He’ll shout the victory, break through the blue, Some golden daybreak, His face I see.]
  • Now that we have seen His face, we are no longer singing as we used to.
  • SONG: [Just any day now, our LORD is coming. He will be returning for you and me. And I’ll be waiting. And I’ll be watching. Just any day now, His face I see.]
  • That was our prophetic song. Today, it has come to pass. It was a song that day, but today, it is no longer a song. It is now a testimony. His face we have seen.
  • SONG: [My LORD take me near the cross, There a precious fountain. Free to all – a healing stream, flows from Calvary Mountain.
  • In the cross, in the cross. Be my glory ever. Till my ransomed soul have rest beyond the river]
  • We are the people that are hopeful, for we are waiting for that glorious day, and our hope will never fail us. Yes! For we have seen with our eyes the glorious appearing. We have seen His glorious appearing. We are no longer waiting for His advent and His glorious appearing. No! No! No! No! No!
  • We are no longer waiting for His glorious appearing. He has appeared. He has appeared.
  • SONG: [Christ has appeared. Christ has appeared. He has appeared. He has appeared, to take us to that Promised land. Christ has appeared. He has appeared, to take us to the Promised land]
  • He said, “I am going away. I will equally come back and take you to Myself, that wherever I am, there you will be.” He did not say, “I am going so that you come after Me.” No! He will come. If He does not come to take you, you are lost.
  • If you are travelling to a country you do not know, maybe you gained admission like our Sister gained admission. She has never travelled beyond the shores of Nigeria.
  • It took the school authority – the dean of students welfare and her entourage to travel all the way from the college to the airport to take all the students that were offered admission in that school down to their school and to their various hostels.
  • The dean was charged with the responsibility to conduct all of them around for one week for familiarization because she is in charge of student affairs.
  • And when they were going, they were going courageously that they were not getting lost. On getting to Heathrow airport in London, she was there already in spite of the harsh weather, for she had already signed her life in as a perfect guide. She is not a novice.
  • She was accountable for the lives of all those students that came from different countries in Africa, who were about seventy-two selected from different countries. So, she was chargeable.
  • She had to make sure they were secured amidst the cold at about -4 degrees [Celsius] down to the place where they finally landed at -6 degrees Celsius. The weather is still harsh even till this morning.
  • This morning, it is even worse, but they will cope with it. You have to adjust.
  • So, I thank God for the journey so far. We are seeing fulfilment of prophecies every minute of the day, unless you are not following this Faith spiritually.
  • If you are carnally minded – I mean, the affairs of this world beclouding your mind and your spirit, you are totally lost.
  • Do not forget My Message: If this Message of everlasting life is hid, it is hidden from those whoM the god of this evil Age has blinded their eyes – their spiritual eyes, that they will no longer behold the truth in the Gospel of Christ so that they will be lost in the end.
  • This Message is not directed to people outside. It is directed to the people inside, for you are inside the court. You are not outside. Outside are sinners. You are not sinners outside, but you can be inside and labelled a sinner. You can be a sinner inside.
  • Yes! Because the devil has crept his way into our midst, and has given birth to too many children – children of Belial. They are too many in our midst.  Due to mis-mating, with our brothers and Sisters marrying incompatible partners – people that have no link with christ; people that were not bestowed with the spirit of truth so that they can acknowledge the truth.
  • Rather, they were begotten by religion. And they appear in our midst looking pious, but inwardly, they are grievous wolves. When you see them shouting “Amen” to the Message, you think they are believing. No! It is a deceit. It is a cloak.
  • But can you hide such a thing for too long? Such hypocrisies cannot be hidden for too long. Sooner than you think, it must be exposed. Time and events around you will expose you and tell the world that you are really a hypocrite. You are that wolf in the midst of sheep. You are that one that is coming to God with your lips when your heart is too far away.
  • You are numbered among those who were milling around Him and are still milling around Him for selfish gains, and not because they want eternal life. No! They are just milling around Him as they did. From the very onset it has always been like that.
  • Every revival from the presence of the Almighty God has always produced twins. So, there is no way this Message of the son of man will not produce twins.
  • Cain and Abel were born of one father and mother, naturally speaking. But one is of a divine descent. The other one of a carnal descent. And that which is carnal is always opposed to that which is spiritual. True or false?
  • There is no area where we are getting provocations more than the carnal children of Abraham. When we say we are sons and daughters of Abraham, we do not exclude them. But they are born after the flesh.
  • Their mothers are not our mother, for Abraham married nine wives, but only one wife got the first position, while the second got the second position. The rest were kept away.
  • References: [1] Genesis 11:29. 29Abram and Nahor both married. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milcah; she was the daughter of Haran, the father of both Milcah and Iscah. NIV
  • [2] Genesis 17:15. 15God also said to Abram, “As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah. NIV
  • [3] Genesis 16:3. 3So after Abram had been living in Canaan ten years, Sarai his wife took her Egyptian maidservant Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife. NIV
  • Apart from Sarah and Hagar, God never recognized any other wife Abraham took to himself. God recognized Sarah. He recognized Hagar who gave birth to the first son of Abraham, Ishmael [Ismaila] who even helped Isaac to know the truth about their father, for Isaac was born eighteen years after Ismaila was born. Ishmael was senior to Isaac by eighteen years.
  • That was why it took Ishmael to help Isaac to know the truth. And then, Isaac respected Ishmael as the first son of the family and his most senior brother. Two of them joined hands in burying their father, Abraham as recorded in the holy Scriptures and in all the Holy writings of God.
  • So take note of what I am saying. Apart from these two, others were just mentioned for mentioning sake.
  • References: [2] Genesis 25:9. 9His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, NIV
  • Remember the term “Ishmaelites”. You can see it in the book of Galatians. Anywhere you see “Ishmaelites” the Bible said it is a general term for all the sons of Keturah, not Hagar. Hagar had only but one son. Sarah, one son.
  • Keturah had six sons. See your Bible. It is there.
  • Genesis 25:1-2. 1Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. 2She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak and Shuah. NIV
  • So when you hear Ishmaelites, do not attribute it to Ishmael or Ismaila. No!
  • To the rest of the children of Abraham, apart from Ishmael and Isaac, whom He blessed; He blessed them, he blessed Ishmael more than He blessed Isaac and gave him two-thirds [⅔] of the portion of His wealth [His inheritance]. Isaac only got one-third [⅓]. Take note of what I am saying
  • To the rest, He [Abraham] gave them gifts and sent them away.
  • Reference: THE WRITINGS OF ABRAHAM Part 4; Chapter 158 verse 1. 1WHEN my youngest son Shuach, whom Keturah had borne me, for she bore Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak and Shuach, was fifteen years of age, I called all of my sons unto me and instructed them in the ways of the Lord and blessed them and gave unto each wives and a goodly inheritance of property according to the instructions of the Lord and sent them away to inherit lands which the Lord had prepared for them.
  • [2] Genesis 25:6. 6But while he was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east. NIV
  • He made his will for the first son and the second son, and shared the world between the two. Three parts, He shared it. Two parts to Ishmael and one part to Isaac.
  • Reference: Deuteronomy 21:15-17. [1] 15If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated: 16then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn: 17but he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his. KJV
  • [2]15If a man has two wives, and he loves one but not the other, and both bear him sons but the firstborn is the son of the wife he does not love, 16when he wills his property to his sons, he must not give the rights of the firstborn to the son of the wife he loves in preference to his actual firstborn, the son of the wife he does not love. 17He must acknowledge the son of his unloved wife as the firstborn by giving him a double share of all he has. That son is the first sign of his father’s strength. The right of the firstborn belongs to him. NIV
  • Is it any wonder why Ishmael up till this day has the greater population? Of all the nations here on earth, Israel remains the smallest, but gives the greatest trouble to God.
  • I do not want to go there. I have already taught you on that, so that you close your mouth and begin to know where you came from.
  • You must be one of Abraham’s sons in the flesh. How do you know it? You must be religious. You must be a politician. You must be politicking with this Faith.
  • Abraham is your father in the flesh, but the divine sperm was not what was used in your conception. You are numbered among those born to Abraham after the flesh.
  • How do you know it? You will mind carnal things. You will esteem carnal things above spiritual things because you are not heavenly bound. You are not divinely oriented.
  • You are of the world and you will be minding the things of the world. You will still cherish any earthly Message because you are earthly. You must be sensual. You must be political. You must be religious because the world is filled with religions.
  • He that is heavenly minds heavenly things. He gives little attention to earthly things for his subsistence, but gives the greater attention to heavenly things which are eternal. He knows that he is a temporary resident in this world we are in. It is not our home.
  • SONG: [This world is not my home. I am just a passing through. My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blues. The angels beckon me from heaven’s open door. And I cannot feel at home in this world anymore.]
  • Why can we not feel at home again? Insecurity in every family and on every land. I say, in every family. Man’s greatest enemy today has been proved to be members of his own family. Why can we not go home at will again? Who are we afraid of?
  • Are they not members of the same family, sharing the same family name with us? Sometimes, they attend the same church with us and belong to the same political party with us. Yet, they are on our throats.

There is something in a Presidential handshake. Greater than the president of any nation is in the Bride. Believe it if you can. If I do not know who I am, I would not introduce Myself. I introduced Myself and the Elohim vindicated it. What else are you looking for? I am not looking for any human being’s vindication or approval. He that sent Me has approved My candidature. He made His choice and His choice is final, whether you accept it or not. It is the final verdict. You either hear Him or you perish for I am the Beloved of the Father. I know that to be Truth. I am the beloved of the Father and nobody is sanctified outside the beloved. You are called into the Beloved for you to be sanctified in the Beloved, hence He transferred you from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of His dear Son, for He is the beloved Son in Whom He is well pleased. Hear ye Him.

WHY ME? [1]

E

vents are made clear by prophecy. So, I am now here to put an end to everything called religion and politics.

  • Any moment from now, they will come to an end. You will never hear anything religion or politics with your ears again. You will see heaven open. You will see the New Heaven. You will see the New Earth. All here, wherein dwelleth righteousness. You will see the Elohim in plain view, no longer in camera. The Elohim will come out and stand here upon the earth, fully commanding.
  • Then you will know Who THE SON OF MAN has been. You will know that there is no difference between the mask and the masquerade. Only then will you know that nobody visited this earth, but the Almighty Himself, for when they killed the Prophets, they killed His Son and they killed the Apostles, He decided to come, being the Landlord [the Owner] to know what was happening.
  • Anyone He sent, they will kill him. He sent His own begotten Son. They were not afraid. After killing the servants, they killed Him also. What? How can the tenant be greater than the Landlord?
  • He now decided to come and see things for Himself, so that the tenants can now force Him out or kill Him if possible.
  • You see, where we are now is the best place we have arrived. This is where I do not need anybody to tell Me Who I am. You do not need anybody to tell you who you are and where you are heading to, for the spirit in you bears witness with your conscience that you are in right standing with God, or you are managing, or you are trying. If you are trying, you are lost. If you are managing, you are lost, for you cannot manage yourself into the departure hall again.
  • All I have presently now are in the departure hall. Some are gradually boarding. Gradually because the door of the plane has been slammed open. Two entrances: One at the back. One in front. Gradually, they are boarding.
  • They are no longer checking in. The time for checking in is over. If you have not been cleared and you have not checked in by now, carry your bag and go. It is when you have checked in that you can be hopeful of boarding the plane.
  • And when you board the plane, it does not take off immediately. It waits for time while you will be comfortably treated in the plane. Everything they have in the plane to make you have a pleasurable flight will be provided for you.
  • You have your angels as air hostesses serving you. You have your conveniences. You have no complaints to make. You enjoy the music free. Just be there and relax yourself.
  • All that are in that departure hall, they have only but one thing: To crosscheck their identity cards because it remains only but one spot. One spot. That is the last check. The moment you get there, you present your ID card. They will look at it and look at your face. And then, use the equipment to scan it to make sure it is not fake. Then, you cross.
  • The moment you cross, it is one way inside the plane. That is why it takes longer time from the departure hall to boarding.
  • All the escorts that are escorting a traveler who is going anywhere will remain with that traveler depending on the relationship until the traveler has been cleared, and he enters the departure hall.
  • The moment the traveler enters the departure hall, there is no coming back. Escorts will now go home, telling their relations, “We have escorted him or her, and he has checked in.” Checking in does not mean boarding the plane.
  • So if there be any problem you are developing in the departure hall, well, only God knows why. For if you develop runny stomach or fever at the departure hall, which will make it impossible for you to board the plane, it is about-turn and your ticket cancelled, straightaway!
  • This is because you have developed fault before boarding the plane. But if you have boarded the plane, even if you die there, your corpse must reach your destination.
  • Whatever trouble you are developing inside the plane, the doctors there will manage it, manage until you get to your destination.
  • Even if you are a pregnant woman and labour starts, you will deliver there. They will carry you and your new baby to your destination. You cannot go back to Nigeria again. Did you get the Message?
  • Dead or alive in the plane, be there. That is why if we live, we live for Christ. If we die, we die for Him. And that is great gain. If I die, I have already reached my destination. My corpse will land there. If I remain alive, my body will reach there. If I develop sickness, it will be healed when I get there.
  • SONG: [When I get home, when I get home, my troubles will be over, when I get home. When I get home, I will meet my God. All troubles will be over when I get home.
  • Temptations will be over when I get home. All trials will be over when I get home. When I get home, I will meet my God. My troubles will be over when I get home]
  • In this world, we must have troubles, trials and temptations; persecutions, cruel misunderstanding. But when we cross over the Veil, all those things shall be stories of the past. You see them no more. This is true.
  • And if you have this hope; this assurance which is blessed assurance, you purify your heart even as where you are going is pure.
  • Let the purity of your heart equate with the purity of the banquet hall. I said, let the purity of your heart equate with the cleanliness – the whiteness of this white robe – white garment which is a representation of the righteousness of the Saints. How immaculate that heart should be. How transparent your life should be.
  • Doubt Me not. He is here with us, watching as we journey along. After all, He is still leading. He is still guiding.
  • One day, all these troubles shall be over and when we shall meet Him, we shall not meet Him as an enemy. No! we’ll meet Him as our friend. We shall not be strangers to Him. No!
  • I can never be a stranger to Him, for He will embrace Me and say, “My son, welcome!” He will bid me welcome. He will embrace Me. I will not be a stranger there.
  • When these suffering days are over, we shall sing the song of victory. Do you believe that?
  • Oh! I give God the praise for everything. Do not glorify God only for prophecies and revelations fulfilling. Glorify Him for counting you worthy, not only to be witnesses but partakers.
  • Then you pause and ask yourself a pertinent question, “WHY ME? Of all human beings in this world, WHY ME?” If you have really known Who God is; you have encountered Him; you are practically and personally acquainted with Him according to His Word, why not pause a little and ask yourself a question.
  • In your community, how many have been privileged to have this privilege. For the Bible said, “When the LORD Jesus Christ resurrected, He appeared first to the women who were there. Secondly, to over five hundred people who were aforetime chosen by Him to bear witness to His resurrection.”
  • Do you know the population of the world that time? Five hundred people were assembled ahead of time. You see God’s foreknowledge. You see predestination.
  • Then the Bible said “They moved along with him, only to be seen by over five thousand who were predestined.” God knew them aforetime, predestinated Him and predestined them as well that they will be numbered among those or will be the people He will reveal Himself to as the Resurrected Body.
  • He said, “See My hand. See My legs. I am He. Handle Me. Feel My body. Touch Me. I have flesh. I have blood. Spirits do not have flesh. Spirit do not have blood.”
  • WHY ME? WHY ME? Why must it be me? Chosen ahead of time.
  • Cast your minds back to your lineage or in your community to see whether there has been a record of one who has served this God the same way you are serving Him. Who espoused you to this God? Were you the only person that heard this Message? You were thousands that heard the Message. Why must it be you that saw it and believed it as truth? Did you get the Message?
  • In Nigeria today, we are over two hundred and fifty million people. Let us include those in the websites. How many do you think heard this Message of everlasting life and embraced it as truth.
  • Some acknowledged it as truth, but they could not embrace it. You can acknowledge the truth without embracing the truth. Do you believe that? Embracing means following the truth.
  • When you accept, you come out from your former organization and follow. You cannot believe and remain where you are, for you cannot sit down on a seat and lift it up. Can you? You must get up from there. Stand up. And with your two hands, you can lift it.
  • But many say they believe and remained in their former association, sojourning in a condemned building earmarked for pulling down – earmarked for destruction. Any day destruction will happen, will it spare you?
  • When God said, “Come out from among them and be ye separate; Touch nothing unclean; Be not partakers of their evil; You will be My sons and daughters and I will be your God”, you cannot tell Me, “I have believed” and you remain where you are. Never! Never! Never! Never never!
  • There must be a demarcation – a distinction between them that believed and they that believed not.
  • So, what am I saying? God made it clear in the Bible that He blinded the hearts, the ears and the minds of some so that they will not see, hear, believe and repent that their willful rejection of the truth might be forgiven. He hardened their hearts.
  • But to you, He gave you believing hearts to believe the truth. Hence, in your family, you may be ten thousand, but only one will have believing heart.  And that one was with them. When he was with them, he was equally better than them in the observance of the rules and regulations of their former association.
  • But now, he is no longer one of them. they now turn to talk evil of him, fulfilling scriptures. Saint Peter said so.
  • Remember you were with them, practicing their wild profligacies. Now that you have repented and turned to Christ, and you have pulled out from among them, they now gang up against you, talking evil of you.
  • He said, “Rejoice exceedingly, for that is the mark of Christ upon your life.”
  • Saint Paul said, “Trouble me no longer, for I bear on my body the mark of Christ. I was crucified with Him. I died with Him. And I resurrected with Him.”
  • This is because He died for sin. Christ was crucified because of sin which He never committed. Is it not true?
  • Saint Paul equally in Christ was nailed to the cross like you and I IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE AMONG THE NUMBER THAT WERE CHOSEN AFORETIME, PREDESTINED UNTO ELECTION TO BE PARTAKERS OF WHAT GOD IS DOING IN OUR OWN DAY;
  • Reference: Galatians 6:12-17. 12As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. 13For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 16And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. 17From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. KJV
  • If every elect of God is to be positionally placed globally where they will not only recognize what God is doing in their day, but will be a part of it, why must it be me? WHy me, of all the people in the world?
  • Of all fishermen, Zebedee was there with his two sons, James and John. Other fishermen were there in the high sea. Then the Master came. He did not take permission from Zebedee, their father. He turned to James and John, “Follow Me.”
  • He saw Peter. He saw other fishermen. He went to Peter, “Follow Me.” He saw too many people passing by. He saw Matthew, “Follow Me.” To Bartholomew, “Follow Me.” He saw Thomas which is Didymus, “Follow Me.”
  • And nobody resisted His call, for no man born of the spirit of God can resist God’s call. That is why you must know who called you to glory and to honour.
  • If you are not called and then you go to meet with Him because you see people meeting Him, you are disappointed. That is why it is not following God that matters, but God recognizing and knowing that you are following Him.
  • If God has not recognized your Faith, you have not followed Him. If He has not recognized your followership, you are still with the world. although you aRe a son or a daughter of Abraham, but you do not have the Faith of Christ.
  • You do not have the Faith of Abraham because you were not born according to the promise. You were born after the desires of the flesh, And he that was born of the flesh is flesh; He that was born of the spirit is spirit.
  • Why? He that was born of the flesh minds the things of the flesh, while he that was born of the spirit is mindful of the things of the Spirit. He pays no attention to the flesh and whatever the flesh is saying, for he knows that the flesh profiteth nothing, and by the deeds of the flesh has nobody and nobody will ever be justified, that even the Almighty in Jesus Christ was never justified in the flesh, but justified in the spirit. And then the laws of the Spirit has set all of us free from the laws of the flesh.
  • If you are not born of the spirit of Christ, the spirit of truth, you do not belong to God. Hear Me very well. Hear Me very well, And nobody that was born of the Spirit of Christ ever takes the Word of God as a useless statement or useless Word. He is never careless.
  • He that is born of the Spirit of Christ esteems the Word of God above his necessary food. He takes delight in the things of God. He is even ready to place his life on the line for the things of Christ, for thereunto he is born and thereunto he is ordained.
  • Have you discovered the way you are ordained? If you are ordained to be careless and carefree, there is no way you can change it, for thereunto, you are born. The highest thing you can attain is to be “A good fellow”, “A very good man”, “Good Brother”, “Good Sister”, “An easy-going brother”, “An easy-going Sister”, “A gentleman of all gentlemen”. Yes!
  • You will have charisma. You will never have character that will be like that of Christ, for the difference between the devil and Jesus Christ revealed in the flesh is nothing but character.
  • Talk of religion, nobody is as religious as the devil. He reads the Bible. He quotes. He goes to the pulpit, but he does not mean what he is reading. He can never live the life. After teaching others, he will go home. He will contradict himself with his character.
  • Watch anybody who is counterfeit. His character will always contradict his faith whether man or woman. He will preach one thing and do another thing. That is a religious fellow. He is making politics. Are you getting what I am saying?
  • He wants people to recognize him as a preacher. He wants to showcase himself as a Minister, but he cannot manifest the life of Christ. Why? He does not have the nature.
  • The devil does not have the nature of Christ. There is no truth in the devil. When he speaks a lie, he makes it to be truth in the eyes of people who are destitute of truth. If you are not destitute of truth, you must discern between truth and error [falsehood] no matter how it is hidden.
  • In these last days, know it of a surety that the devil will deceive everybody that is religious using religion, using politics and using material things of this world – what eyes will see, what your mouth will drink and what your stomach will cherish to eat.
  • The devil will use money – unrighteous mammon. I said use what? Unrighteous mammon. Look at the word Jesus Christ used to describe money. Unrighteous mammon.
  • This is to show you that whoever that goes after it, is an idolater like I was calling Bro Lucky and Chika this morning as idolaters who were given pastoral offices and they abandoned all. They only pastored when they were in the school, but came back and became starchy and cold.
  • Your activities in the post Office can never save you because heathens can do more than that even without paying them.
  • Look at FearGod Emmanuel. All of you who said you were Pastors. Look at another one. What do you call that one from Jos? The son of Paul Oguzie. Paulson. As wicked as his father. As stingy as his father. As religious as his father. Nobody hears his name again. He is gone and gone for good like any other Ngwa man because I said it from the onset, “Anybody from Ngwa and Mbaise can never worship God, for they are highly religious.”
  • You must get rid of your community spirit. There is no community that is not governed by spirits. If you came from Nsukka, try to get rid of Nsukka spirit. Nsukka is equally religious and also idolaters.
  • I want to show you something. There are two super women that command the wealth of the world. Any place where the super churches are found – Roman Catholic and CMS [Anglican] – that particular area, community, village, town or state is idolatrous.
  • The most highly educated will never avoid that idolatry, and these are the people that cement idolatry. Among them are professors, scholars, people of repute, with a good number of them holding celebrated offices in their various places of work. I mean, people in the ivory towers.
  • They are their professing Christianity with their red caps. They are traditionalists. They are Christians. They are everywhere. These are the people that are deceiving the entire world.
  • Watch their women. They are ladies in the churches. Knight of this, knight of that, lady this and lady that. They are also traditional chiefs – women!
  • You think I am crazy? I am not crazy.
  • And as they are, so they want all their children to be, for you cannot give your children what you do not have.
  • If you happen to come from such families, you will see yourself as an odd ball. You know what an odd ball is. When you believe the truth that is unknown to your family, nobody espoused you to that truth, from your genealogy nobody has ever held such truth, that goes to show that you are an odd ball and that you were divinely selected when you were in the spirit form.
  • Then you entered into your mother’s womb with others you call your siblings. You are of the same parents, but not of the same father. You are of the same mother, but were not all created by the same God.
  • That is why God said, “Never ask yourself the question or concern yourself with the useless question of why people behave the way they are behaving, but concern yourself with why things are happening to you the way they are happening.” WHY ME? WHY ME?
  • If God says He is taking three from Nigeria, and you happen to be in the three, is it not astonishing? Is it not astonishing?

WHY ME? [2]

I

 have told you my experience in 1977 when I was called among a hundred and seventy-two students who wrote the WAEC, and because it was a West African school owned by Faith Tabernacle, foreign students were there from the whole of West Africa.

  • And for the first time, that trophy was to be lifted. The trophy was there before I entered that school. Nobody ever lifted it. Every year, so it remained. And nobody knew the standard they were using in assessing students until it came to My own turn.
  • With My tattered trouser and sandals, I never knew that God had already predestined Me for a purpose. I miraculously entered that school. I never wrote the common entrance examination to go there. I was posted to another school. From that school, I found Myself there because of religion.
  • Then, at the end of the day, the hall was filled to capacity. There were students from everywhere and then the Board of Governors. Military administrators were all present from different parts of Africa.
  • And My name was called as THE BEST DISCIPLINED STUDENT OF THE GRADUATING CLASS to lift that trophy for the first time.
  • I hid Myself under the table, weeping because I never had anything that will make Me social. I had no clothing. I never prepared Myself for such a thing. I never knew such a thing was going on. I thought there was a mistake.
  • They called that name three times. The senior prefect had to reply, “Please, we saw Boniface here. He is hiding here. Give us little time to look for him.”
  • Then, the Principal collected the microphone from the Vice Principal and then mentioned my name twice with a threat and said, “Be courageous! We know you are very shy. Wherever he is, let somebody lift him up and let us see him.”
  • With that order, I saw Myself in the air. So they carried Me to the centre.
  • Remember that as at that time, Anambra was the whole of the South East. That was Anambra State and Imo State. The whole of South East was Anambra and Imo State. When you hear East Central State, it is the present geopolitical zone, governed by the Administrator, Ukpabi Asika.
  • Can you imagine? As small as I was and as tattered as I was, from the poorest family on earth, who had nothing to boast of, and I was mounted on a table. The ovation alone nearly made Me to faint. Then the question arose in My heart, “Why Me?”
  • This happened to Me even when we had flamboyant students. I mean, wealthy students. Students whose parents were very wealthy. Some of them were coming to school with their private cars – private motorcycles.
  • Some of them refused to eat from the refectory, but we were the vultures who were eating from the refectory. I had nothing. My greatest beverage as I have told everybody was Garri and sugar. Why must it be Me?
  • The same thing happened when I was looking for job. I did not look for job even for two days. Of all that gathered for the interview, I knew nobody. I just saw the advert and then wrote my application.
  • And I was going somewhere. A place where My uncle had placed Me using his own I.M. [and advantage from an informal contact] in UAC Foods. They placed Me under Michelin and promised to pay Me a fantastic salary of one hundred and fifty naira in those days.
  • But I said, “No! I needed a place that will help Me to further My education.” The conditions of service were not favourable to Me in that I could work on weekends and dismiss late also.
  • Besides, I was forbidden from reading newspapers and periodicals. I could not go to the library, and I could not read anything readable. So, I will remain there and the highest I will be will be chief clerk or chief store keeper.
  •  And because I am under My uncle, I could not complain, but I was dying inside. This continued until one afternoon when I was tempted to steal their time and then went to the street to see whether I could see adverts.
  • On the first street I followed, I saw a sign board with the inscription, “Clerical Officers needed. Apply in person.” I looked at it and the advert said, “O ‘Level WAEC with at least five credits, with English and Mathematics compulsory.”
  • I said, “Okay. Thank God. Whether I am qualified or not, at least, let Me go.”
  • I went to a corner, took one writing pad, and put up an application, in case they will demand it. When I entered there and I presented Myself, there were too many others. They said no, that they will not accept that, and that I should write application on the spur of the moment before the directors.
  • Surprised I said, “That is what I delight in.” I scribbled few things. I did not waste time and I handed it over to them. They watched the speed with which I approached the writing. There was no telephone. I was not afraid whether they will dismiss Me in the former place or not.
  • They asked for My credentials. I was moving about with photocopies of My testimonial and everything. I gave them photocopies. They said Ok and instructed that anytime they will call me for oral interview, I should come with the originals. I accepted and went away.
  • When I got back, there was no query. They looked at Me, watched Me from a distance and allowed Me to pass. I mean the gatemen. I said that God has given Me victory.
  • Two days after, I got another invitation from that same office. They interviewed Me for the post of a store keeper. I said, “Sir, I cannot keep your store which entails working even on Sundays. Never never! So forget about it. I better go jobless.”
  • They reported to My uncle and he ran mad with Me. The story went wide, but I was not afraid.
  • On a Friday, I got an invitation from the same place where I wrote My application. They said that I should come for interview. On stepping in there, they had already pruned down the number to twenty-two.
  • One Mr. G. A. Ajewole from Ondo State looked at My face and said, “You are the person. You are the person.” I said, “Sir that did what?” He said, “No! You will know when you finish with everything.”
  • At the end of the day, only two persons wee selected. One, A brother to the director. Another person, Myself. The rest were asked to go and wait for another opportunity.
  • I said, “What? In a Federal Department?” Although the salary was poor, but the condition of service was very favourable. I could go to work and dismiss by 4pm. On Saturday, it is work-free. Public holidays, all observed. My leave, not negotiable. Everything Ok. I said, “To God be the glory.”
  • Immediately, I accepted it without delay. I had already completed all the necessary formalities before I disclosed it to My uncle that I have been given a new job.
  • For three month I was in that department waiting to receive My first salary. Immediately it was paid, I just enrolled with Pacific Correspondence College and then Rapid Result College, Lagos for My A ‘Level papers because office gave Me time to study. That was how I took off. So to God be the glory.
  • “Why Me?” has always been My question. Whatever that comes My way, whether good or bad, I must pause and ask the question, “Of all people, why Me?”
  • I was meditating on that one day we were going to Issele-Uku with Brother Uche Udo of Nsukka and Bro Sunday Eze of Opi. When we got to Ubulu-Okiti, Fulani herdsmen had already barricaded the road.
  • They were robbing and wounding passengers anyhow, including those that were coming from Lagos. About five rushed to the other lane. No sooner they rushed with everything they were using to barricade our lane, than our Brother Uche ran into their hands.
  • I told him to stop. He stopped. We saw them with their masks, their riffles and daggers along with other weapons. They painted their arms black and every part of their body.
  • That was the first time I saw these people. We could not see their faces, but their eyes were seeing us from their masks. They just watched the vehicle. We were just there. Then, their commander waved us to come. He opened the way, and we crossed. They closed it.
  • A woman and her husband, and the occupants of their vehicle in a Camry® car were following us. They parked them. From there, they started robbing all that were behind us.
  • When we were coming back, we saw horrible things lying down there. We saw blood on the main road and things like that. I asked Myself this question, “Why Me? Why our vehicle? Why this Favour?”
  • Just like it happened to us at Okija. I was coming home with My station wagon with My wife and My entire family. While negotiating the sharp bend after Okija Bridge, we ran into their hands – hoodlums numbering more than ten. They had already used two vehicles to block the road. We rushed in there.
  •  They used their rifle to halt My station wagon. Gently as it has always been My manner, I halted. My wife bent down in front. I told her not to panic. All My children wanted to panic, but I said, “Be calm! Be still!”
  • Then, the commander came to My side and examined Me over and over while My wife bent down and My children bent down. He looked at Me and said, “You can go!” He went and opened the door. So I crossed that place.
  • It was when we were at Onitsha that the news started filtering in about what happened to passengers who were coming from Owerri and Aba to Onitsha at that same point. It has happened many places.
  • Then I asked Myself, “Why Me? Why Me?”
  • Now, if God is making His selection, why I must serve God with all My life, I do not know the population of the whole world.
  • Look at Saint Paul who was Christ in His own day, chosen from how many millions of people in the world to bear the name of God, for the LORD God Almighty said something.
  • To the people he came to, He said, “He is My chosen Vessel unto Me to bear My Name among the gentiles wherein I send Him.”
  • Whoever that bears the name of God is the representative of God. True or false?
  • That is why all that received Him, received Him not as a mere man, but as Christ. And that is what he was. Look at Him! Angel Messenger.
  • Such a great favour was showed on Him. One who never served God, who was sincerely wrong; who thought he was serving God but never knew that he was in error, and who persecuted even the children of God unto death.
  • He [Paul] recognized how vile he was and how God had set aside the days of his ignorance, cancelled all the atrocities he committed in the name of religion.
  • You see why religion is an opium. Once you are religious, you cannot recognize truth again. There is no way truth can influence your life. What will influence your life is that your religious belieF.
  • whether it is wrong or right, you do not care. you do not even listen to the voice of reason.
  • an opium is something that makes somebody mentally and spiritually deranged; mentally demented and stubborn to a fault; disobedient to a fault; arrogant to a fault; proud to a fault.
  • Nobody is As proud as a religious fellow. True or false? As stubborn as a religious fellow. As political as a religious fellow.
  • He or she is full of argument, but Christ is quiet and told us to avoid that which causes arguments, for it will lead us to more ungodliness. That is why we speak the truth and we close our mouths. Anything further than that is a lie. We do more hearing thaN talking because in much words, we offend.
  • But watch religious people. Their mouths are filled with words. They boast of great things and achieve nothing. They always want to be seen. They are always striving to have preeminence over others. I am telling you the truth.
  • Anything that has nothing to do with that their religious belief, they can hardly give ear to it. Before you open your mouth to talk to them, they have labelled you devil. And with that devil, they call you anti-Christ.
  • When a devil has called you devil and anti-Christ, do you go ahead talking? You hold your peace. You hold your peace because you know who he is. You know where he is coming from.
  • By calling you devil and anti-Christ, he wants to win the people to his side so that you will be in the minority. Yes!
  • Accept to be in that minority because that is where God belongs to. God belongs to the minority. We are among the hand-picked minority, chosen by God for eternal life, called unto salvation, not to receive God’s wrath, but to receive eternal life – eternal salvation.
  • And you happen to be in that hand-picked minority. I think the pertinent question is, “Of all people, why Me?” It is not because of anything good I think I did. It is not because I am better than anybody. It is not because I have served God more than any.
  • What could be that thing God saw in me that would make Him to include me in the number he has counted worthy to be His sons and daughters?
  • You see why we must be grateful to the Almighty God, Who has counted us worthy putting us into this Ministry where we now have the confident assurance that all that is made of God is what we are.
  • We are a part of the Elohim. The Elohim is a part of us. Wherever He is, there we shall be. He is incomplete without us. We are incomplete without Him. Do you believe that to be true?
  • If you are sure and certain that you are in that number, this will now begin to influence your attitude towards His Words and your attitude towards His service.
  • Do you know that if you are not found in God, you cannot render acceptable service unto Him? If you are not found in Christ, possessing His own Spirit – His own righteousness, there is no way you can render acceptable service to God.
  • For that reason, He sent no other person but rather came Himself so that through Him [the Beloved], your services can be made acceptable. And that is, if you listen to Him and obey Him. Then you will be like Him, for it is only in the Beloved that our sacrifices are made acceptable to God.
  • Take away the Beloved, you are rendering your services and sacrifices all in vain.
  • When Saint Paul was sent to them, he was sent to open their eyes of understanding, that their sacrifices might be made acceptable unto God by Him and that they might be sanctified by the faith that is in Him.
  • All of you that have found yourselves into THE SON OF MAN, you are now possessing His Faith. It is in His Faith that you are now sanctified. Then your sacrifices are made acceptable by God.
  • But when you are still operating outside, you have not been cleared and you are not in the departure hall, your sin abideth in you. You have not been justified.
  • You can believe without being justified. Until you are justified by Faith, only then can you have access to Him freely.

16Only very few preachers, called of God will stand gallantly and publish the truth of the gospel without currying for favour with the people. The Message of the cross of Christ is an offensive one and not many can bear it. 17As many as will like to be popular with the world must preach a popular message that is widely accepted by all so as to make converts. 18A real Man of God that is sure of His calling does not ask for disciples, rather, He chases people back with His offensive and unbearable message which is a stumbling block to many.  Only God’s people will believe Him and follow Him.

Conceal your identity in christ and compromise your faith

Let Me use our Sister Florence who is here for an example. Yesterday, we were together. You read that message for us as Elders. We were wondering because it had no name. up till now, I do not have her name in My phone. I have My reasons for that because she is yet to settle down.

  • I know she loves this Faith. I know she loves the things of God, but she is not yet settled down. Why? There is a battle she must fight, but which she has not fought.
  • Until you are thrown away by your parents, Christ will never meet you.
  • Let no man ever fool you that you can continue with the Nicodemus way of worship. No! God does not like a secret disciple. Everything you believe must be made known to your parents, whether you like it or not.
  • If you are afraid, lest they stop training you; lest they drive you away; lest they do this or that to you, then you are not My disciple. I do not have a secret disciple. I do not even have a township disciple.
  • That is what you were doing in your Pentecostals. When you go there, you become ardent Christians, but when you get home, you continue in your former association. No no no no no!
  • The son of man has no room for that. I have seen those phonies. And they do not even thrill Me at all.
  • I CAN NEVER HAVE YOUR NUMBER IN MY PHONE UNTIL I AM IN A POSITION TO TALK ABOUT YOU SPIRITUALLY, AND NOT MERELY PHYSICALLY. NO! I MUST KNOW YOUR SPIRITUAL STAND BEFORE YOUR NAME CAN FIND ITS WAY INTO MY PHONE.
  • The same way I do not log in any name which I do not know where that person is and I do not know the person’s occupation.
  • What if somebody will mistakenly hear Me talk to that person or stumble unto that number and then begin to ask Me, “How manage? How do you know this man? What if that man is a criminal element or a criminal suspect?” It then means that I am in trouble.
  • That is why only names I can stand in for; Only names I know I can identify anytime, anywhere, any day will enter My phone. The rest will come and go. Once I see it, after answering, I delete it.
  • There are too many who have been with us from the very beginning of this faith and who got their phones before Me, but their names are not in My phone.
  • When I need them, I will tell pastors, “Please, tell that Brother; tell that Sister to call Me now.” After passing the Message, I will delete it. Why? That name is not worthy to find its place in My handset.
  • There are heathens who are worthy of My confidence more than those who are milling around Me, claiming they are following Me, but they are not sincere. They do not have good hearts towards God. You must have a good heart towards God.
  • I have a Message titled, READY TO DIE. And another one, FACING THE FIRE [Preached on 1st January 1995 – December Camp Meeting at the Household of God Onitsha].
  • So, Sister Florence, go for the two messages. [1] READY TO DIE. [2] FACING THE FIRE. It is better you fight now and win because time is not on your side.
  • The same provision made for the salvation of the men, the same applies to the women.
  • Married ones were thrown away from their marital homes because of Christ. Do you believe that to be true? In the days of Saint Paul, too many of them were written there, but the names of their husbands were completely absent.
  • What of the wife of Chuza – Herod’s business manager? The wife was there, ignoring the silly millionaire, “Continue with your money.” That woman’s name is Joanna – Chuza’s wife.
  • There are too many of them as you can see in the Gospel according to Saint Luke Chapter 8. All of them were married.
  • Reference: Luke 8:1-3. [1]Not long afterwards he began a tour of the cities and villages of Galilee to announce the coming of the Kingdom of God, and took his twelve disciples with him. [2]Some women went along, from whom he had cast out demons or whom he had healed; among them were Mary Magdalene (Jesus had cast out seven demons from her), [3]Joanna, Chuza’s wife (Chuza was King Herod’s business manager and was in charge of his palace and domestic affairs), Susanna, and many others who were contributing from their private means to the support of Jesus and his disciples. LB
  • They never counted their marital status because hey have seen that the Kingdom of God is a priceless Kingdom that you cannot use money to buy. Marriage is rubbish.
  • If your marriage will hinder you, away with the marriage. If it is your husband, do away with him. If it is your wife, do away with her. If you are not ready to forfeit even your own very life, you are not worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven.
  • If I had been holding back My life, this Message would not have gone round the globe. But I thank God that a good number of you are living testimonies of what I passed through [I mean] during My missionary journeys throughout the nation.
  • I entered places where even Pentecostals cannot dare enter. All these Fulani enclaves today were My home. I was sleeping in the forest in the Northern states with nomads – Fulani herdsmen.
  • You know how many times they set where I was ablaze. I was sleeping in a straw house. What was My major food they were serving Me? Fura de nunu [locally made mix of millet and raw cow milk] full of flies. This is something that you cannot even see with your eyes and withstand it. That was My food.
  • In some places, we were only served with bush meat. What type of water were we served? Their water was like ordinary brown milk. Yet, we were drinking it.
  • Where were we taking our bath? In the open air, men and women and everybody. I mean everybody, for that is the custom of the area. Men and women will come in one arena like that with their buckets of water to take their bath together. We had no choice.
  • Even here in the Igboland, when we got to Obiakpu Egbema, we were accused of defiling their shrine because we took our bath in front of their shrines.
  • In many places, they paralyzed us for violating the laws of their lands. The little money we went with, they took from us. But God provided a remedy. In all the places, we were more than conquerors.
  • I can never forget My experience in Zonkwa where the entire Muslims gathered to set the little place where I was ablaze. Our Brethren placed their lives on the line just to save My life, and that was in Kaduna South.
  • Even here in the East, I suffered most in the hands of Ngwa people, where an order was given that they should use our meat to make Suya [barbecue]. And a small girl hinted the plan they were making. After serving us with their kola nuts, palm wine and everything, they were very happy. We thought they were with us.
  • When we entered the thatched house where they gave us, the little girl said that we should find our way. By 1am, we left that place for another place in Isiala Ngwa. That was where our late Elder Nwosu received us. We trekked down.
  • No sooner we left than the youth in that community besieged that house, pulled it down and began to beat their own people for allowing us to escape.
  • Everybody must have his or her own testimonies because of what I passed through and the LORD delivered Me in all My missionary assignments.
  • What will I say concerning My ordeals with the denominations who, in spite of My condition – a Man who was crippled with the injuries I sustained in a ghastly motor accident, they dragged Me to court for religious matters? I went to court amidst witnesses. Who dragged Me to court? Assemblies of God.
  • When we got there, they were astonished when I opened My mouth to talk from the Scriptures, for it was My time to talk. One Reverend Stephen Ugoaru lifted his hand to slap the person who brought Me to court.
  • He said, “Why bringing this Man to court? Now, you have heard Him. He has produced witnesses, and all His witnesses happen to be our Reverends. What offence has He committed then? You were all going to His Church secretly.
  • You invited Him, gave Him a place to come and destabilize our church, that you want to start a new movement by Reverend Nwokedi. But he said no, that he would not scatter another man’s church; that he is not called to come and scatter church or build a church.
  • You took Him to another man, Innocent the Pharmacist, but He said No. and Now, look at the type of allegation you are leveling against him. An offence He never committed. You were the people that committed it.”
  • The court was set agog. All of them covered their faces in shame. The judge ruled that I should go away with My members, and that there was no case against any of us.
  • This was the same way the apostolic church took Saint Paul to court in His day, Assemblies of God took Me to court. And they lost their case shamefully. Today, many of them are with Me, including the Man who instigated the court action.
  • You must suffer for Christ. Otherwise, your faith will not be recognized. For the Bible said that we are not only called to believe in Him, but to suffer with Him. If we suffer with Him we shall reign with Him.
  • There is no Sister among us who never defended her Faith before the parents. I will never defend you. Your Pastor will not come to your rescue. That which you know you have believed, you must tell your parents.
  • Anywhere you want to go, tell them. Tell them the name of the man or the woman or the family. You have even overstayed because I learnt you embraced it from your secondary school days up till today that you are a graduate. And you are still a secret disciple?
  • Coming in here only to embrace God and write volumes is not salvation. If you are afraid of Christ, you are not worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven.
  • If you are ashamed of declaring to the whole world the God you believe, He is ashamed of welcoming you into His bosom.
  • There is one at Awka who has never been in our Fellowships, but has read many of our Books. Armed with the truth, he went about preaching God to be a human being. Did you not hear the testimony? And I said to the father, “If you can make peace with your family, it will be a shocker that your daughter in-law will subscribe to this Faith.”
  • Today, what has happened? She applied for subscription to the Faith. And the father called Me and I said, “Welcome her! She is a member of your family. The salvation God has offered you has engulfed your family.”
  • This is so that My Word will come to pass which says that when you believe without compromise, doubting nothing, the salvation will be extended to your people because you are bound to help them to believe. Why should you be afraid?
  • Ordinary slave in Syria – Damascus to Naaman the Syrian; An ordinary maidservant was the one God used to convince the centurion that there was a prophet of God in Israel, Who had a remedy to His leprous condition which had defied all medicament.
  • May be you do not know that Drusilla was the wife of Governor Felix who never hid her faith, being a jewess.
  • Let Me just go by the way. There are many among us today, whose parents do not know what they believe. Their people do not know what they believe. But when they come in the midst of the Brethren, “I have a message. I have a Message.”
  • That Message you say you have, have you preached to your people? Have you preached it to your community? Do they know you?
  • If you want to know Me, of course you have known Me all these years. I am a man of unmistakable identity. Wherever I am, I not only preach, but I over-bloat My Faith. I carry My Faith above My size. I do not look at My size. I carry IT to be the size of God Who is in Me.
  • So, whatever you say you believe, and you cannot open your mouth and declare it, how will the people really know what you believe? Conceal your identity in the Faith of Christ and compromise your faith, for there is no way you cannot be led into captivity for not telling people what you believe.
  •  But the more they know about you and what you believe, the freer you will be in relating with them.
  • There are too many, whose parents, instead of persecuting them, saw the truth and even decided to be giving them even the permission to continue, transporting them to and from, even blaming them for not opening up for a long time.
  • I am not soliciting your membership. No! If I am soliciting anything, I am soliciting for the salvation of your life. Your life is in your soul. Once it is lost, you are lost.
  • So I am soliciting and appealing to everybody in this family to behave like Me or behave like My children.
  • I was talking to Lucky. You were a Pastor. Chika has been a Pastor, pastoring nobody. You cannot pastor yourself.
  • Wisdom My son, Who was in that pastoral office as number one in the Students’ Fellowship has never shifted one bit from his commission. Rather, every day he magnifies it.
  • The same is applicable to Chukwudi the Apostle. Listen to the Pastor in Port Harcourt. The moment He got there, He revitalized Port Harcourt and instituted a Fellowship – a meeting day in the Pastor’s house where everybody must meet to enable him and other Ministers address their problems.
  • What of Chibuikem? He has never been a Pastor in Umudike, but He plays a role more than the Pastor, being an Evangelist and an organizer. He has organized a forum whereby they meet every fortnight to enable him address them because they believe that he is in My Family platform.
  • All My children are in My Family platform. So, there are too many things they know about Me and the Faith which you do not know, unless we want you to know it. Why?
  • They are not in your class. All of them are divinely oriented, both male and female. And they do not brag with it. I say, they do not brag with it. They have everything that will make them to brag, to be arrogant and even to be disobedient to Elders. But instead, their humility and simplicity bear eloquent witness that they proceeded from the son of man.
  • If anybody should glorify in the flesh and in the spirit, I more. If anybody should glorify about the gifts of God, I more. But you see Me. I am the meekest of all. That is why I am easily entreated by both great and small. I am accessible to all. And I do not make any demarcation between infants and adults nor between males and females. To Me, they are all one.
  • Who will not die? The male will die. The female will die. The young will die. The old will die. But after dying, what next? For it is appointed unto all men once to die and after that judgment.
  • And on the judgment day according to the Book of Revelation, infants, both great and small are seen at the judgment seat. Both great and small. Infants! When the waters will vomit all that are in them, the graves will surrender all, fire will surrender all, both great and small. For that reason, I must give attention to all of them.
  • In the land of Sodom and Gomorrah, no infant was saved because he or she was an infant. No pregnant woman was considered because she was pregnant.
  • During the days of Noah, how many infants were saved? How many pregnant women got saved because they were pregnant?
  • You see why God is a just God. He judges with fairness and equity. So be very careful as we have come to the end of this journey. We are boarding. Remain in your departure hall if you have entered. If you have been cleared, and you are in the departure hall, stay there.
  • But if you are still at the Gate; you have not been cleared at the Gate, keep on struggling peradventure the angels at the Gate will usher you into the departure hall.
  • But as many as have boarded, remain in the plane waiting for time. It must surely take off. It must surely take off. Just be there. Feel comfortable; eat and drink. Amen.

I believe with all my heart that I know those I have chosen, and those I have chosen, they know that they have been chosen by Me. You did not choose Me for one day, I chose you. Even if you were asked to choose Me, you would have rejected Me. Many of you were even running away from Me. I was hunting you from place to place, even using hardship to make you stop somewhere. Even using sickness to make you stop somewhere, for if you fail to stop, you will fly away beyond my reach. Hence, you have to stop somewhere, while you will be running around it, I will meet you there.

GOD HAS COUNTED ME WORTHY, PUTTING ME INTO THIS MINISTRY; Preached on Sunday 13th August, 2000 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 109 vs. 6 – 7

WHY ME? [3]

Why Me? Why Me? In this life, if God has appeared in human form among us to take for Himself a people, and you happen to be included in that “a people” he has decided to take, is it not astonishing? Is it not a wonder? Is it not miraculous? Does it not surprise you? What have you done to merit it? I mean, is it not enough to ask Why Me?

  • If you are given such an unmerited favour, what will be your response to it? I will preserve it with My life. I say, I will preserve it with My whole life, knowing that if I allow it to slIp away, I will not get it again.
  • When the devil [Lucifer] missed that opportunity, the Bible said, “He repented”, but he could not regain it anymore. He then vowed a vow, “What then can I have but the Kingdom?”
  • When king Saul of Israel foolishly lost the throne and lost the dynasty, it shifted from his own family to the family of Jesse. And in the house of Jesse, David the smallest boy born by the woman Jesse despised – the third wife of Jesse was the mother of David.
  • And David was the one that was left in the wilderness to tend the flock, so that wild animals could kill him there because of the hatred Jesse had for the mother of David.
  • When a man hates his wife, he hates the children. Hated by the husband, but loved by God. God went after David. When He saw him, Samuel exclaimed, “This is the Man! This is the Man the LORD has chosen.”
  • Before then, seven were paraded. The seven sons of Jesse. All were rejected. Samuel asked a question, “Is there no other?” Jesse replied, “There is one, but he is very small. He takes care of our sheep there in the wilderness.” Samuel commanded, “Go and fetch him.”
  • When he was fetched, Samuel sighted him from afar coming. And He exclaimed, “This is the Man Whom the LORD has chosen” as infant. To David, was it not a marvel? Was it not a wonder? The question will be, “Why Me?”
  • Relate it to yourself in this Faith. Many are called, but few are chosen. And you happen to be numbered among the few. It is not because of your contribution in any form or shape. It is only because God has decided to show you favour. Why not pause and say, “Why Me?”
  • Saul foolishly threw away that glorious privilege. Did he regain it again? No way? What of Judas who, because of covetousness, lost his bishopric office? And the office was given to someone else. Did he regain it again? I want you to see how God works.
  • That was why Silas who was chosen to replace Barnabas never joked with that office. When Barnabas departed, and went back to meet with John Mark because of the material things of the world, only Silas and Paul were commended by the Church and they continued in the missionary outings round Asia minor.
  • They handed them over to God and to the Holy Spirit, for the power of the Church was behind them, while Barnabas and John Mark perished in the world because of material things.
  • The same thing was applicable to Demas. Demas forsook his office and went into the world, for he desired the things of the world more than the things of God.
  • Where is your desire? Wherever your desire is, that is where your heart is. AN evil MAN rests at nothing until he has achieved his desire. a good man rests at nothing until his desire is achieved.
  • What is your desire? For everything you want to be begins with desire, whether it be good or bad.
  • The Bible said, “If you desire Christ with all your heart, you will find Him. He will come your way.” But where you do not desire Him, even if he comes your way, you will abuse His visitation. You will not recognize the hour of your own visitation.
  • Even if among all, He selects you to bear His Name, you will abuse it. Even amongst all, He selects you to walk with Him, you will abuse it. Do you not know how wonderful it is?
  • SONG: [Won’t it be wonderful there? Having no burdens to bear. Joyously singing with heart bells all ringing. Oh! Won’t it be wonderful there?
  • Walking and talking with Christ the Supernal One, won’t it be wonderful there? There where the tempest will never be sweeping us, Oh! won’t it be wonderful there.]
  • Won’t it be wonderful that you are walking and at the same time talking with Christ the supernatural One? They walked and talked with Him on their way to Emmaus.
  • They walked and talked with Him as they crossed the sea. They were inside one boat. They walked and talked with Him as they entered Galilea. Won’t it be wonderful?
  • You are walking and talking with the Messiah. I mean, the creature if given the privilege to walk, talk, eat, drink, sleep and have everything in common with the Creator.  Is it not wonderful? A privilege that is not given to everybody.
  • Out of the population of the world, a hand-picked minority [I mean, a microcosm; A drop in a bucket], and you happen to be a part of that drop, why not say, “Why Me of all people?” Why Me?
  • What type of favour is this that I could be selected by no less a Personality than the Creator of Heaven and earth to be among His followers and to be among the people He has chosen for salvation and not to obtain His wrath?
  • What type of favour is this to be among the people He has decided not to input sin, for blessed, happy, fortunate, to be envied are the people whom the LORD does not input sin, whose sins are covered for His Name’s sake, that even if the devil will accuse them, He will say, “I reject your accusation?”
  • Why should I be numbered among that Righteous Branch? Why should I be named after the Righteous Branch? I mean, the Branch has branched to all the nations, fetching His people, and He fetched me from my own enclave. Inside the remotest part of my area, He reached His hand and He found me there.
  • SONG: [When He reached down His hand for me. When he reached down His hand for me. I was lost and undone without God nor His love, when He reached down His hand for me.
  • I was nearing despair when He came to me there. And He showed me that I could be free from sin. And He lifted my hand, gave me glory complete as He reached down His hand for me.]
  • Saint Paul said, “What a privilege that I who was injurious [a murderer] to enjoy this unmerited favour that God selected me for this course of the preaching of the Gospel.”
  • While I was in My mother’s womb, the divine sperm found Me. The divine sperm found Me. He sought Me. He found Me. He found Me when I was like a droplet of water. He found Me when I was an ordinary ovule in the midst of ovules.
  • From the ovary, ovules came out. And the divine sperm went through the fallopian tube, searching for Me. And it then saw Me there, perched on Me, preserved Me in my mother’s womb, brought Me into existence, for the purpose that I might be made known to the whole world as the Messiah of this Age.
  • He chose no other woman from where I could come forth. He chose no other place, but the despised place – Uvuru, Aboh Mbaise. And no other woman. But Catherine.
  • So it happened to Mary. A despised lady espoused to a man. No other family but Joseph. A poor carpenter who has nothing to offer humanity but poverty. From there, a messiah came. A stumbling block to the whole world.
  • Why not pause and ponder on how God met you or how you met God. Why Me? Even if He accosted you on the way, were you the only person that was passing that way? Too many others were passing but He saw you and stopped.
  • An Igbo adage says that when a keg of palm wine comes into contact with a fellow known to the carrier, the quantity decreases.
  • So, known unto God are all His works from the foundation of the world. Hence, He could see you and halt. He told some that He had no house, for they wanted to know where He was living. He told them that He has no place even to put or lay his head. He told them that he has no house.
  • Animals in the forest have their places for rest. Fowls of the air have. But the son of man has none. They went away calling Him a foolish man.
  • But his own came. Hearing His Word, they sat down with Him. After hearing Him and believing in Him, they requested to know where He was living.
  • The Bible said, “He took them to His abode.” Not only that, He took them to the upper room. And they abode with Him for two nights – 48 hours – 2days
  • References: [1] Matthew 8:20. And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. KJV [Also found in Luke 9:57-58]
  • [2] John 1:37-39. 37And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? 39He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. AMP
  • When a keg of palm wine comes into contact with a fellow known to the carrier, the quantity decreases.
  • If God had known you from the beginning of the world, what was your contribution? What did you contribute to becoming your father’s daughter or son? You see why you must answer that question as it affects you, “Why Me.”
  • If anybody should be found in unbelief, why you? If all are not the children of God, why are you in the number that are not the children of God? If God said, “You are cleansed by the Word I have spoken to you, but not all of you”, why are others cleansed, but you?
  • Why are others believing and behaving well but you? Why are others chosen for salvation but you? Why are others lining up with the teaching and the doctrines of God but you?
  • Why are others taking the Word of God seriously, esteeming the Word of God and obedience to the truth higher than making money, but you? Why is your own life different from that of the Saints of God? Why do you find it difficult to hear and obey the Word of God? Others are hearing, understanding and obeying, but when it comes to you, the case becomes different. Why? Why Me?
  • If the LORD Jesus said, “One of you will betray me. One of you who is also eating and drinking with me here will betray Me, betray the Faith and cause the Faith to be blasphemed and hand me over to My executors” and He did not mention anybody’s name, why must it be you? I said, why must it be you that the Scriptures might be fulfilled? And then you claim it saying, “I am going to do it.”
  • Why Me? Any day we succeed in answering this question, “Why me in whatever I am passing through in this particular Faith, be it good or bad, the eyes of God seeth everything and He knows everything. Then the question is “Why Me? Why Me?”
  • Of all that have succeeded in finding themselves into the abode of THE SON OF MAN, the revealed Christ [Messiah] of this generation, I happen to be numbered among those people, even when I knew Him not; We are not from one area; I have nothing in common with His people and my people do not have any affinity with Him, why Me?
  • If others have come and made shipwreck, others have come and failed in their bid, now I am here, why must I fail? If others have not pleased Him, why must I follow them to displease God? If they were born into disobedience, ordained into disobedience, why me?
  • This is the question that stares all of us in the face, not collectively, but as individuals because we have our different individual experiences. True or false?
  • We have to be very careful. Be it known to you that there is nothing you can achieve in Christ until this question is addressed. It is not the question you ask yourself that determines where you are heading to, but the answer you supply to that question. Do not fool yourself. Do not do copywriting because your experiences differ from that of others.
  • Find out why. I will find out my own. But where I cannot find it, my duty is to kneel down and keep on giving glory to God.
  • SONG: [We give all glory to the LORD, he reigns. We give all glory to the LORD, he reigns. He reigns, he reigns forever. We give all glory to the LORD, he reigns.
  • We give all praises to the LORD, he reigns. We give all praises to the LORD, he reigns. He reigns, he reigns forever. We give all praises to the LORD, he reigns.
  • We give our worship to the LORD, he reigns. We give our worship to the LORD, he reigns. He reigns, he reigns forever. We give our worship to the LORD, he reigns.
  • We give all honour to the LORD, he reigns. We give all honour to the LORD, he reigns. He reigns, he reigns forever. We give all honour to the LORD, he reigns]
  • Yes! Let Me see FearGod dance away. “Worshipping God is a sweet experience” in Ngwa.
  • On this note, I say thank you for giving Me audience. At least, for stirring up pure minds in us to ponder a little as individuals as we ask ourselves, “Why Me?”
  • Even those who are feeding from the websites, it is a sure sign that they are all positionally placed where they can recognize what God is doing in their day and also become a part of it, for the population of the world runs into trillions, but only hand-picked individuals from different countries are acquainted with the Message of everlasting life. For so it pleases the LORD.
  • The Branch has branched out to the four corners of the earth with the Message of everlasting life as a witness against this generation. Then the end has come at last. The end has come at last.
  • Hence, many are gradually boarding. Some are at the departure hall. Majority are still at the Gate, waiting to be cleared for the departure hall.
  • These three stages must accommodate somebody. But I pray that all that have good hearts will be checked into the departure hall.
  • The visitors, and strangers, mockers and scoffers, hypocrites, tares in the midst of wheat will end it seeing the Gate of the Kingdom, but may not enter.
  • Some will see the Kingdom of Heaven, but they will not enter. Some are standing there, but are not willing to enter, and they are not willing to let others enter.
  • But some are there striving earnestly, forcing themselves to pass through that narrow Gate. And these are the people that will get a helping hand from God. God will give you a helping hand.
  • SONG: [Sometimes, the devil tempts my heart, and says I’m wasting my time to try to live a godly life and walk in Saviour’s Path. But I hear a Voice telling me, “I’ll give you a helping hand, if only you will trust in Me, I’ll carry you through.”
  • Then cheer my Brother. cheer up. Our trials will soon be over. Our loved ones we shall meet shall meet upon the golden shore. We’re pilgrims and we’re strangers here. We’re seeking a City to come. The Life Boat soon is coming to gather the Jewels Home.]
  • The Life Boat is already here. And it is already picking. The Boat is already loading everyday as they sign in from every corner of the world. When we enter Paradise, you will recognize how many you are, drawn from all the countries in the world, wearing white robe and speaking only but one language. And that is Hebrew. Our song shall be Alleluia! Our heavenly language. Until then, let us remain resolute, praying and adoring Him.
  • I want us to consider this Message. I know we received a Message from the Son of man’s Office to consider. That one is His Office, but this is His Home.
  • You received your Messages to consider from My Office, but I have one I am considering from My Home.
  • So, I want us to consider just the 2 chapters in Section 1 of this Message to enable the Pastor give us whatever He has for us. Section 1 only.

The state of the nation

BY THE SON OF MAN

We are grateful unto God. Why Me? Why you? Whatever Message we are going to consider must revolve around it. If we read prophecies that are fulfilling and the ones that have fulfilled, many people witnessed the events, but not as prophecies from God, fulfilling.

  • You that witnessed it and recognized that it is prophecy from God fulfilling before our eyes, why me? Why you?
  • Those that do not belong to God are blaming the CBN Governor. Some are blaming the National Assembly. Some are blaming the President, Muhammadu Buhari.
  • But we who know the truth from God, we give glory to God. We know that none of them is our problem. Even if they will leave the scene today, we will notice that our problems will compound.
  • We have not discovered our problem and it is only but one thing. We are in crises because, we have rejected Christ. You cannot reject Christ without accepting crises.
  • We are now godless and all godless characteristics are being made manifest in our nation. True or false?
  • There was a time we thought our problem was General Sani Abacha. When General Sani Abacha left, the problem continued.
  • You must find fault with a regime before you overthrow it. During the military regime, we were seeing corrective regimes coming to correct a corrective regime. They were coming and going until we rolled into the civilian regime.
  • Anyone that came, we thought that could be our problem. When he leaves the scene, our problems will continue until this one we are having now who came in by prophecy and he is fulfilling all that the LORD said that he must fulfill.
  • The LORD knew He must be our president. The nations knew it not. But we are all aware. We were told ahead of time that general Buhari must rule Nigeria again, but this time, as a civilian president.
  • It came to pass and He told us what we must expect from his administration. Have we not seen all of them?
  • References: [1] NO HIDING PLACE; Preached on 23rd March, 2003 atthe Household of God Onitsha; Chapter 5 verse 83-84. 83Maybe, you do not know that Nigeria is a strong member and they want to enforce their strong dominance. That is why America was trying to hinder Buhari from coming out.  84NOW, BUHARI IS OUT AND I AM TELLING YOU THAT IT IS EITHER BUHARI WILL CONTROL NIGERIA AND LEAD US TO ISLAM OR THERE WILL BE TROUBLE IN THIS NATION.
  • [2] INSPIRED TO ASPIRE (A MESSAGE PREACHED AFTER BRIDAL WATCH VOL. 4); Preached on Sunday, 7th June, 2015 at the Household of God Onitsha; Chapter 4 verse 28-29. 28Number one man today is General Muhammadu Buhari. He remained undaunted for three successful tenures. Today, he is there.
  • 29It is easier to quote Abraham Lincoln of America. Quote General Muhammadu Buhari, for he contested the first under the democratic era, he failed. He never gave up. The second, he failed, he never gave up. The Third time, he failed, he never gave up. The fourth attempt, he won.
  • [3] YOU ARE NOT TOO FAR FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD, BUT SOMETHING REMAINETH; Preached on Sunday 15th December 2019; Chapter 1 verse 46-47. 46I do not know how to separate president Muhammadu Buhari from the military. I hope I am making sense. And that is where Nigerians are confused. You made the mistake by electing [by popular mandate] a military man into a democratic office.
  • 47That you win election through public mandate democratically does not make you a democrat. A military man is a military man and must handle everything with military precision. He does not want delay by the national assembly. Hence, he evoked a silent clause in the constitution called executive order.
  • [4a] HOLDING UNTO THE CERTAINTY OF THE FAITH:  FOR THEREUNTO I AM BORN VOLUME 1; Preached on Sunday 9th April, 2017 at the Household of God Onitsha; Chapter 3 verse 21. When they were making that noise, what did I tell you? I told you, “This is insurgence.” Buhari said it will end by December 31st last year. I said, this is absolutely rubbish. Let no man ever take him seriously. No human being can eradicate insurgence. It is not an organized war. It is not a regiment. You do not know who is who.
  • [4b] Chapter 4 verse 22-24. 22Remember My stance on this corruption. I have made it clear. I have documented it. Every noise that is being made about anti-corruption is just a ruse. Do not ever take anybody seriously, not even Buhari. It is a devise to suppress his opponents. He is not sincere. Nobody can fight it because it is a hotline. You cannot fight it. It is a hotline.
  • 23Why did I call it a hotline? The most lucrative industry in Nigeria today is corruption. 24There is no industry as lucrative as corruption. And it is very easy to establish. You do not need to borrow money from any bank to establish the industry called corruption.
  • [5] 2019 New Year Message: THE YEAR OF JUDGMENT OF THE WORLD; Preached on 1st January 2019 by the son of man at the Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe; Chapter 2 verse 2-5. 2I show you a sign: Nothing stops Boko-Haram from renewing their activities, their bombing and their killing in the northern enclave this morning. They will say Happy New Year to Buhari this morning by besieging many communities.
  • 3Do not worry. By the time we tune in our radio and read the news this morning from the net, you will see what I am telling you. They must say, “Happy New Year” to this nation. They must greet this nation.
  • 4Be it known to you also that instead of Boko-Haram to stop, a new insurgent group worse than Boko-Haram will appear this year in Maiduguri. And from Maiduguri, it will spread to Adamawa, it will spread to Kano, Kaduna, Zamfara.
  • 5In short, this one that is coming is more dreaded than all insurgent groups that Nigeria has ever experienced, for they will use all weapons of warfare to dislodge the army. Their aim is to capture Abuja live. And Abuja must cave in to them this year.
  • [6] THE HOUR TO PAUSE AND THINK VOL 1 Preached 0n 6th January 2019 at the Household of God Onitsha verse 22-26. 22But do you expect a new thing? There is nothing that will happen now which the Son of Man had not, at one time or the other, made known to you.
  • 23Are you expecting the world to get better? Show me the indices. They are not there. Remember the day I held my International Conference (the World Press Conference), I made it clear to the International Press that the world will not get any better as we forge ahead.
  • 24I gave them the situation as we find it in Nigeria now. I gave it ahead of time. Five indices of a failed nation. All to get everybody convinced that Nigeria has failed as a nation.
  • 25And there is nothing you can do to bring Nigeria to status quo ante. No miracle! No miracle! I told you and I am still saying it again. General Buhari, the President, is not our headache. He is not our problem. He is not responsible for it.
  • 26No head of state, no president, no prime minister of any nation should be blamed for what is happening. This is the mighty hand of God at work.
  • [7a] THE FATE OF THE NATION AND THE WORLD – A valedictory World Press Conference by Apostle Peter Odoemena [THE SON OF MAN – The Eastern Star] granted on the occasion of the hand-over, home-coming and certificate presentation of the Dignity Consult, University of Nigeria Enugu Campus at Gold Value Hotel, Enugu, Nigeria on 30th May 2015; Pg. 23 vs. 28-35.
  • 28Let nobody ever expect a miracle. Let nobody expect a situation better than what we are coming out from. We know where we are coming out from. We know where we are heading to. 30Remember I told you that before Jonathan will leave that Aso Rock, petrol must be sold at the rate of ₦200 per litre. Did I say it? [The Brethren concurred with an emphatic “Yes sir!”].
  • 30That was in 2011. And I said also that this dwindling economy will get worse, and that the exchange rate will be such that cannot be restored, for this man must surely, through the advice of a wicked finance minister, devalue our currency beyond restorable height.
  • 31Look at the exchange rate today. Look at our economy. I equally made a statement that whatever was left in the possession of arms and ammunition, the monopoly must completely be removed, for we will see uniformed people and armour-bearers on the scene. We will also see unregimented armour-bearers.
  • 32This is because the moment the state has lost the monopoly of possession of arms and ammunition, crimes must surely rise to an uncontrollable height.
  • 33Now, who will disarm them? This man that is coming to check corruption, remember he was the chairman of Petroleum Trust Fund [PTF] under the late Abacha. Bear it in mind. And we know the scandal which later resulted to truth, and which led to bribery.
  • 34Now, forget about that one. Let us face the stark realities. He was a Major General. I know he controlled Bulumkuttu riot. That was that time at Maiduguri. That was Maitatsine [an Islamic religious sect]. What we are now suffering from is greater than Maitatsine. What we are suffering from goes beyond religion. It goes beyond politics.
  • 35We are suffering from one thing which all of you know. They want us to revert to status quo ante. They want to bring up the agreement that was duly signed before the committee of nations in 1960 endorsed by Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe of blessed memory and Tafawa Balewa, which stipulated inter alia: that the Northern majority must rule the Southern minority, and that any attempt to wrestle power out of the North must create chaos in this nation. And it must be avoided.
  • [7b] Pg. 30 vs. 44-46. 44The Messiah for Nigeria is not yet come.  Do not expect a sudden change. Do not ever go to bed and begin to think that the insurgency is coming to a halt. Rather, it is going to assume another shape and another dimension; another shape and another dimension. This administration must create room for Islamic Jihadists to identify even with their counterparts in Nigeria, which [of course] you know.
  • 45You remember that day I said that there are big guns behind this insurgency. And that was the time they were doing kidnaping, until the big guns were arrested in Abia, in Enugu here, in Imo, in Delta. Nigerians shivered. When this matter started, I said that there are big guns.
  • 46Watch! In no distant future, this people will be equipped with rocket launchers. They must be equipped with all sorts of ammunition, including submachine guns [SMG]. They will have equipments that will be enough to execute a civil war. And these equipments will not come from the sky. They must cross the borders, and no poor man can do that.
  • [7c] Pg. 42 vs. 15-17. 15As for Me, I am talking prophetically from My Office. I am seeing a picture that is horrible. A picture that is indescribable. Just hold it there. 16I am talking to you as youth so that you take your academic pursuit seriously and take the training you receive from the consult very seriously.
  • 17Let nobody ever fool you into believing that a miracle will create employment for Nigerian graduates tomorrow because there is no year that Nigeria does not produce over 1.5million graduates, starting from the Colleges of Education to the Polytechnics and Universities. Take note of that.
  • [7d] Pg. 59 vs. 15. 15So, President Buhari is going to inherit crises. Already he has inherited insecurity. He has inherited fuel crisis. He has also inherited power crisis. He has inherited mass unemployment. So, he is taking off on a very rough ground. Tell Me the miracle he will perform.
  • Now this one is coming again [2023 election]. They will want to know where I am inclined to. I have never been inclined to any of them, for I have not found one that is worthy to lead Nigeria. And nobody can lead Nigeria.
  • Every man in Nigeria is a ruler. Nigeria is blessed with rulers. They do not have leaders, but they have rulers. Every ruler is autocratic. Every ruler is heartless. Every ruler is insensitive to the problems of the people. No ruler makes a self-sacrificing leader. Unfortunately, there is not even one.
  • The one who has a little image as a self-sacrificing leader is in bondage. He is in bondage to religion and which the people cannot understand. The is true.
  • The Northern Muslims do not accept the Western Muslims to be Muslims. The Muslims in the West do not accept the Northern Muslims as Muslims.
  • Hence, no Western Muslim can be an Imam in the Northern Mosques. No Imam in the Northern Mosque can officiate in the Western Mosque. Yet, they are all Muslims – the Sunni and Shia.
  • No matter how we call ourselves Christians, a Roman Catholic reverend father can never officiate in a CMS [Anglican] church. True or false? A Pentecostal pope or bishop or archbishop can never minister in Catholic church.
  • Even in every gathering, no matter how you stay with the Roman Catholics, when it comes to giving the holy communion [the blessed eucharist], they will make a public announcement, “If you know you are not a Catholic, you are prohibited from taking the communion.”
  • So, if I join you in the labour, during the eating, I will not join you. And it is believed that all that will eat of that holy communion have become saints already – a ticket to heaven.
  • That is why My senior brother, a catechist called Me to come and officiate in the launching of their church, and I said, “Sir, I will not be there. Count Me out. If I join you now to build your church, when you are eating your communion from that same temple, you will decree Me out. We have kept quiet. And you have donated our collective land [family land] to your own denomination without paying us a kobo. We tolerated it. If we fight it now, you will think we are fighting your church. But you donated the land without our consent. A land that is owned by five families, you as an individual gave it to your own denomination. We have respected you so much o and your belief. Yet, you do not respect our own.”
  • So, if I join you in working, I should join you in eating. He that does not work, let him not eat. How can I join you in working, but in eating, you decree Me out? It is an act of wickedness.
  • Let us continue with the Message.

If you are intelligent, you will know that “One” greater than the head of state is in the Bridal Faith. How do you know? By divine revelation. What the entire world is looking for, the reason why they are running to and fro is here amongst us. We are just like little children that are given something that is greater than them. That is exactly what we look like.

YOU ARE NOT CONNECTED UNTIL YOU ARE DIVINELY CONNECTED

                MODERATED BY THE SON OF MAN               

Why Me? Why you? Remember that day THE SON OF MAN was granted interview at Enugu during the Dignity Consult Conference [University of Nigeria Enugu Campus].

  • President Muhammadu Buhari assumed office the previous day [29th May 2015]. THE SON OF MAN granted an interview during the World Press Conference and outlined all that the president will do and then made it plain that we should remember that he is not the Messiah. He went further to say that he [Buhari] had already inherited problem and he will continue compounding the problems. He is now at the exit point.
  • He is not our problem.
  • We are still alive and we saw the whole thing [prophecy] coming through. He [God] wrote the script which Buhari was to act. We knew all these things ahead of time. People were over-expecting many things from him, but not those that are in the Faith of the son of man. Then, why You? Why me?
  • God, telling you everything before they will come into existence, preparing your hearts ahead of time.
  • Look at Terah, the father of Abraham; the chiefest of all idolaters. God overlooked him and went straight to His own. And that is Abraham. From childhood, He singled him out, separated him from that idolatrous life and charted a path for Him. Why Abraham?
  • It is just like I was telling my [biological] sister who was formerly a Sister in this Faith and the wife of our former Brother who is now late. I told her, “Do you have a sense of reasoning? Do you not know that God remains God in all the Ages? If He is to behave like ordinary man, an ordinary human being, am I going to be in this faith, talk less of being a Minister or even a Pastor?”
  • I then spoke like Saint Paul, “If your records were to be checked of how injurious you have been for Saint Paul was injurious to the Faith of Jesus Christ. So also, were we not injurious to the faith of THE SON OF MAN? Yet, at the end, look at where we are; placing somebody like Me as a Pastor. Why me?
  • When you come into this Faith; when God has enabled you, remember what the prophet said, when He has permitted you to recognize Him and to know who He is, when the Message is going on, it is echoing amen in your heart, you are getting it and you are understanding what God is saying; and you are having the willingness to obey.
  • But to the same Message, some other people are saying no and over their dead bodies; and that this Message is from the devil. It is even so with somebody that was born of the same parents with you. Then, why you?
  • Now, if this question is to be rightly answered, it will now lead to us to one thing. This Person Who has done this; the divine Personality Who has chosen you and has chosen me has a purpose why He called you.
  • The Prophet William Branham said, “God will enter a family or congregation, reveal Himself to one and bypass the other, chose one and go away, abandoning the rest. And you cannot challenge Him., for so it pleases Him.
  • Then, if you happen to be the one that is chosen, and the rest abandoned, why not pause and think? Was it because you were adjudged the best in behaviour or in anything? Have you done anything good or bad that will attract His attention? Could there be anything you used in bribing Him or attracting Him to your side?
  • The truth is that He came straight for you. He sought you. He found you and took you away, abandoning the rest. Your duty is to ask, “Why Me?”
  • If we ask the question with revelation from God, it will humble us down. It will make us more dedicated and more devoted to the things of God.
  • Thank you!
  • God gave us an illustration using a medical doctor. He said, “Now, if the LORD has given you an assignment to accomplish, and all of a sudden an emergency case was rushed into your office [your hospital] and it is a matter of life and death. If you assume the air of a saviour, the air of one that gives life or the one that can save life, you will forget the assignment given to you by God.”
  • You will say, “Okay, God can wait. Let me save this life first”, because you have assumed that air of being a saviour.
  • God said, “Watch! That person will die, and you will also forfeit the assignment given to you by God.” But when you know by revelation the Person that sent you on that errand, and that the Scriptures, nature and every other thing says, “God first”, you will abandon that emergency and then go for God first.”
  • He used that emergency to test your loyalty, your faithfulness, your commitment and your devotion.
  • If the people insist by pleading that you pay attention to the emergency, lest the patient dies, you will boldly tell them that you have an assignment given to you to accomplish by the LORD God Almighty Himself, Who holds your life and the life of the patient who has been brought under emergency.
  • You will equally declare that the patient will not die, unless they want him or her to die. And then, you go your way to carry out the assignment.
  • You will be surprised that when you come back, the thing you thought was an emergency, would have been arrested by the LORD and the patient will be welcoming you and saluting you. And that is when you must have accomplished the first thing first.
  • And this is to one that has defined and answered the question, “WHY ME?”
  • Of all human beings, why has He chosen Me for this errand? How come I am the one He has chosen for this type of errand? How did He assign it to me? He saw all others, but He entrusted it into my hands. WHY ME?
  • Watch Prophet Moses. One of the cases God entered against Him was that when He [God] picked Him, made His intentions known to Him, instead of Prophet Moses saying “Why Me?”, He said, “Nor Me! Send another.”
  • Reference: Exodus 4:12-13. Now go ahead and do as I tell you, for I will help you to speak well, and I will tell you what to say.” But Moses said, “LORD, please! Send someone else.” LB
  • God never takes it light, that is why He is bringing it up at this closing hour of human history that we should go back into ourselves [as individuals] and then treat that matter – that question, “WHY ME? WHY YOU?”
  • This is what it should be, instead of committing the crime Moses committed which locked Him out of Canaan till today, but his wife and children followed His father in-law, and God gave them a place. They are now the Rechabites, while Moses was locked out till today, and will not enter until the Gentiles are considered.
  • Reference: THE LEDENDS OF THE JEWS Volume 3 [JETHRO REWARDED] verse 173. They were rewarded for their piety, their prayer was heard by God, and their good deeds served as a protection to Israel; and on account of their pious actions they were called “the families of the scribes,” the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and the Suchathites, names designating their piety and devotion to the Torah.
  • One of the descendants of Jethro was Jonadab, son of Rechab, who, when he heard from a prophet that God would destroy the Temple, bade all his children, as a toke of mourning, to drink no wine, use no oil for anointing themselves, nor cut their hair, nor dwell in houses. The Rechabites obeyed this command of their sire, and as a reward for this, God made a covenant with them that their descendants should always be members of the Sanhedrin, and teachers of Israel. The covenant with the Rechabites was even stronger than that with David, for to the house of the latter God promised to keep the covenant only if his descendants were pious, but He made an unconditional covenant with the Rechabites.
  • God rewarded them for their devotion to Him in this way, although they did not belong to the Jewish nation. From this one can gather how great would have been their reward if they had been Israelites. [173]
  • So when God is sending us on an errand or using us for anything, what it should bring is the greatest joy to us.
  • But on the contrary, some will even be demonstrating. Some will even be angry and annoyed.
  • Murmuring and complaining.
  • This is because we have not answered the question, “WHY ME?”
  • They are in the flesh. They accept it in the flesh. They do not know that whatever God does has a divine link, for He is the divine incarnate. And whatever He does is divine.
  • The same way, if you are not divinely connected to God, you must detach. You must disconnect whether you like it or not. You are not connected until you are divinely connected. If you are carnally connected, you are not connected to God. Wherever the carnal thing stops, you will stop. Amen!
