X-RAY VOLUME 1 Preached ON Sunday, 14^th August 2022 AT THE VOICE OF GOD STUDIO Bridal Lodge, Nsugbe Anambra State, Nigeria BY Apostle Peter Odoemena THE SON OF MAN The Spirit of Truth

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

Then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.

2^ND CHRONICLES 8:18 AMPLIFIED VERSION

The problem with people today is their inability to differentiate Christ from Jesus. Jesus was God in his own day. Jesus cannot save you now. A past Saviour cannot save you today, believe it if you can. Don’t carry Jesus too far. Many people are moving about with past truths they got from the Bible. God is on earth presently. Yet, people do not know. Has it happened before? The answer is “Yes.” Remember that the Jews missed their visitation during the time of Jesus. If you don’t know the God that you worship, you have no covenant with Him. You will even lose your boldness. This is even traceable to Ministers. You can be in the center where the action is, but you still miss the action because of your unbelief.

INTRODUCTION

PRAYER

Our Holy, Righteous and Perfect God. You are faithful in all Your ways. You are just, fair and firm. You are the God of the Judgment Day. You are the Redeemer and Saviour of Your people.

LORD, You alone will be our God now and in the hereafter. We have found you to be the most faithful and most merciful. You are the Most compassionate and the most loving, the most patient and the most tolerant God.
You are the most understanding. You are the only God that forgives iniquities unconditionally. The only God that has the power to save even the unsavable and the ungodly that has placed his or her faith in You, doubting nothing.
We come to You this very hour and plead, “May You never permit the spirit that anointed those that went astray to ever anoint us.” With Your mighty and outstretched hands, give us victory over all the trials and temptations of this life.
Be there for us each time we are tempted, for too many a time, our hearts are being made to doubt even your existence. Oftentimes, our hearts are tempted to doubt even Your promises whether they can fulfill or not, but You are always there to settle every doubt.
To the very Elect, we are not in doubt one bit as to whether You will perform that which you promised you will do, for we have believed and anchored in Your Word that in You, Your promises are yea and amen.
Therein we stand and exercise our faith as we wait for the translation of our mortal bodies, which You have already promised to give us as our right in You if only we can remain faithful to our avowed profession of faith till the end.
This day O God, we gather at Thy feet because there is no other place we can go except to You, for unto You shall the gathering of Your people be.
We are here just as we are, thanking You for preserving us, even our spirits and souls till this day. We are happy to be identified with You as Your dear children, and not because of what we did or what we did not do.
It is out of Your good pleasure that You purposed it within Yourself O God before the world began that in a dispensation of time, we shall be numbered among those that will appear here on earth bearing Your Name, belonging to your Most Holy Family.
What a wonderful privilege [O God] we are enjoying in this life? And we believe we shall enjoy more in the life to come.
We THANK YOU this day Father for giving us life and giving us the inspiration to come to You, for we have no other place we can go but to You. And there is no better place we can find ourselves, if not in Your presence.
May Your Shekinah Cloud overshadow all the Assemblies of Your people globally. Establish Your presence fully and let their hearts be settled.
No matter how the enemy will lie in wait on this Straight Path [Father] to seduce them away from Your hands, of course, You had promised that whatever that is committed into Your hands, there is no force, no enemy, no temptation, no trial will snatch that person from Your hands, for He that has given that person to You is mightier than the temptation. He is mightier than the devil and whatever antics the devil may try to use.
Father, we bow down to your respect and honour this morning and say, “You are welcome to Your Fellowship.” It belongs to You. Nevertheless, O God, You are here to say welcome to us. But we say, Welcome to You, for You have opened our hearts to receive Your engrafted Word. Speak and we will hear. And we will obey.
Take away all forms of distractions and mind-wandering from among us. Nullify the spirit of sleep among us and let Your Holy Spirit hold sway over our lives. Give us the strength to stand before Your presence, having been cleansed O God of our sins. Help us to stand justified in Your sight, for Your presence is all we need this day.
THANK YOU immensely. As we pray, may Your perfect will concerning Your Elect worldwide [Father] be achieved while we live in this flesh, and even in the hereafter.
For Your Name’s sake O God, we pray. Amen!

When God says He is going to make a perpetual Covenant or an everlasting covenant, please note it. He keeps watch over that word “everlasting”—that everlasting portions to the people and God alone, the people to whom the Covenant was made. Sometimes you can read about Covenant between God and other people, you try to attribute it to yourself, or you try to claim it. You are making the greatest mistake. In the end, you must be disappointed because you were not included in that Covenant. I hope you are taking note of this?

– THE SON OF MAN –

THE COVENANT GOD; Preached on 21^st August, 2003 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 35 vs. 10 – 11.

GOD KEEPS HIS COVENANT

Be seated. I had already assigned today to our Pastor to pastor us the way he is being led, but necessity is laid on Me to speak a Word because I received a Message from Canada – from our Brother, Mustapha.

He told Me clearly that his house was set agog [on fire] – revival fire with his whole family in Canada when they heard My Voice over the phone on Friday.
And that Voice alone shot them up on high that THE SON OF MAN is back and He is healthy; and He is alive.
He said, “Daddy, you do not know how we feel out here in faraway countries when we hear Your Voice. Just Your Voice alone. That is all we need. It springs up revival in our hearts. Everybody started jubilating that at last, THE SON OF MAN has bounced back.”
You see! That thrilled Me so much. I am not excluding those that call Me here from Nigeria and other parts of the world, for there is no country in the world from where I do not receive calls.
The Message has reached every family under the sun. So the Almighty God has carried His Message – the everlasting Gospel – to the four corners of the earth; to the ends of the earth. And we expect nothing but the end of the world according to His promise.
Isaiah 42:4, AMP. ⁴He will not fail or become weak or be crushed and discouraged till He has established justice in the earth; and the islands and coastal regions shall wait hopefully for Him and expect His direction and law.
Mathew 24:14, AMP. ¹⁴And this good news of the kingdom (the Gospel) will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end.
Everything God is doing is programmed. He programmed the way He will do His work of redemption before the world began.
2 Timothy 1:8 – 9, AMP.⁹[For it is He] Who delivered and saved us and called us with a calling in itself holy and leading to holiness [to a life of consecration, a vocation of holiness]; [He did it] not because of anything of merit that we have done, but because of and to further His own purpose and grace (unmerited favor) which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began [eternal ages ago].
Nobody assisted Him to draw this plan of salvation. It is hidden from the world, but it is revealed to His own people.
IF YOU MISS GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION, THE NEXT THING IS THAT YOU BEGIN TO ESTABLISH YOUR OWN HUMAN PLAN, WHICH OF COURSE, YOU KNOW WILL BE DESTRUCTIVE IN THE END, FOR GOD WILL NOT APPROVE ANY HUMAN PLAN OF SALVATION.
There are too many of them in our day. Human plans of salvation. Human beings have fashioned out things they must do and things they must not do to be saved from the wrath of God and to be qualified for heaven.
Too many interpretations have gone forth. And people are bound to believe the one they are ordained to believe, for every man must go the way he is ordained.
If you are ordained to perish, even if you call Me, “Daddy SON OF MAN” and then eat My excreta as a sign that you are loyal and obedient to Me, you must go to hell.
THAT IS WHY YOU MUST FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF WHERE YOU BELONG TO. IF YOU BELONG TO GOD, EVERYTHING PERTAINING TO GOD MUST GIVE YOU JOY.
YOUR HEART WILL NEVER SEE REST OR PEACE UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE THE WILL OF GOD. YOUR DESIRE AT ALL TIMES WILL BE TO DO THE WILL OF GOD WHO CREATED YOU.
You will esteem doing His will more than your necessary food, more than your occupation and more than making money.
That is why the people of old who served God diligently and faithfully stated it scripturally there that God should help them to prefer obedience to His Word to making money. And to prefer doing the work of God with Good heart to making money.
Psalms 119:35 – 37, LB. ^[35]Make me walk along the right paths, for I know how delightful they really are. ^[36]Help me to prefer obedience to making money! ^[37]Turn me away from wanting any other plan than yours. Revive my heart toward you.
This is because money was not created by God. Money is an invention which human beings invented for their own comfort. God has no hand in anything money. Human beings created it.
There are different currencies in different countries. So, every country decides the type of money they will use, not God. America decided to print their own. Britain printed their own. Nigeria printed their own. One differs from the other.
So, be very careful. It is not so in worship. God said that every flesh must worship Him. Then worshipping anything contrary is a naked disobedience to God’s injunction and a punishable offence by the Almighty.
So be very careful about what you are establishing in your hearts, in your house and in your brain and mind. You will not begin to die until you begin to doubt that which God has put in place. Maybe you think that you have something that is superior to that.
Whatever God does is perfect in His eyes. Nothing can be added or subtracted from it. and it abideth forever.
So, I really thank God. I had a very nice experience this morning. And then these things are just following Me gradually, with God confirming many many things. I want to make it public because it has gone wide with it.
Few weeks ago, our Brother Chigozie Ibekwe of the Household of God Onitsha, worshipping in his house under the Cloud is in a covenant with God. It is not that he has forgotten that covenant. The covenant was made between THE SON OF MAN and his late mother – Mama Ibekwe at a very old age.
And I do not want to go into the words of the covenant, but the family members are aware of it. By the word of that covenant, the whole family has remained intact and alive.
Death visited them as individuals at various times. They suffered cruelly in the hands of those that hated them.
A good number of them were imprisoned for many years. And the LORD went to prison and released all of them, including the first son who was imprisoned abroad, and whose imprisonment caused great havoc.
But today, those things are testimonies to the glory of God. As God assured mama, so it happened, as somebody they thought was dead is alive.
When they were running around looking for money to see what they would do to help him there, God promised Mama, “Relax! Do not sell land. Do not sell property. Nothing nothing! Before your eyes one day, you will be outside washing dress and you will see him standing before you alive.”
Mama said, “Could this happen?” I said, “Mama, it is already on course. Do not ask Me how God is going to do it. Just believe that God was the One that entered the prison yard and released Peter. He was the One that went into the prison yard and released Paul and Silas.” He has released many from prison.
Acts 16:23 – 40, LB. ^[23]Again and again the rods slashed down across their bared backs; and afterwards they were thrown into prison. The jailer was threatened with death if they escaped, ^[24]so he took no chances, but put them into the inner dungeon and clamped their feet into the stocks. ^[25]Around midnight, as Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to the Lord—and the other prisoners were listening— ^[26]suddenly there was a great earthquake; the prison was shaken to its foundations, all the doors flew open—and the chains of every prisoner fell off! ^[27]The jailer wakened to see the prison doors wide open, and assuming the prisoners had escaped, he drew his sword to kill himself. ^[28]But Paul yelled to him, “Don’t do it! We are all here!” ^[29]Trembling with fear, the jailer called for lights and ran to the dungeon and fell down before Paul and Silas. ^[30]He brought them out and begged them, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” ^[31]They replied, “Believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, and your entire household.” ^[32]Then they told him and all his household the Good News from the Lord. ^[33]That same hour he washed their stripes, and he and all his family were baptized. ^[34]Then he brought them up into his house and set a meal before them. How he and his household rejoiced because all were now believers! ^[35]The next morning the judges sent police officers over to tell the jailer, “Let those men go!” ^[36]So the jailer told Paul they were free to leave. ^[37]But Paul replied, “Oh no they don’t! They have publicly beaten us without trial and jailed us—and we are Roman citizens! So now they want us to leave secretly? Never! Let them come themselves and release us!” ^[38]The police officers reported to the judges, who feared for their lives when they heard Paul and Silas were Roman citizens. ^[39]So they came to the jail and begged them to go, and brought them out and pleaded with them to leave the city. ^[40]Paul and Silas then returned to the home of Lydia, where they met with the believers and preached to them once more before leaving town.
Acts 12:5 – 11, AMP. ⁵So Peter was kept in prison, but fervent prayer for him was persistently made to God by the church (assembly). ⁶The very night before Herod was about to bring him forth, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, fastened with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison. ⁷And suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared [standing beside him], and a light shone in the place where he was. And the angel gently smote Peter on the side and awakened him, saying, Get up quickly! And the chains fell off his hands. ⁸And the angel said to him, Tighten your belt and bind on your sandals. And he did so. And he said to him, Wrap your outer garment around you and follow me. ⁹And [Peter] went out [along] following him, and he was not conscious that what was apparently being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. ¹⁰When they had passed through the first guard and the second, they came to the iron gate which leads into the city. Of its own accord [the gate] swung open, and they went out and passed on through one street; and at once the angel left him. ¹¹Then Peter came to himself and said, Now I really know and am sure that the Lord has sent His angel and delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting [to do to me].
I do not want to talk about Brother Chigozie and the rest. Neither will I talk about Uchenna or Udochukwu.
So, because of that covenant, Mama was washing her clothes one day and something happened. Lo and behold, that morning, standing before her became her first son. He is married with children, and living comfortably in Lagos.
Because of that covenant, God made a statement that covered Brother Chigozie saying as I repeated it to the hearing of many, “You see Brother Chigozie Ibekwe there sitting down. Please, I warn all the Ministers in this Faith – Pastors, Teachers or Evangelists. I do not care who you are. Never you excommunicate him from the Body of Christ for any reason at all. But if he decides to walk away, let nobody ever stop him. He is in a covenant that cannot be tampered with.”
Then, there was another family that was covered by a similar covenant, but not every member of that family. Only three were covered in that covenant.
God is the one that keeps His covenant from everlasting to everlasting.
There were too many times when God wanted to wreak havoc among His people, but He remembered the covenant He entered into with Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob, and He changed His mind, for He keepeth His covenant from generation to generation.
Some few weeks ago, our Brother came to dedicate his third son. During our gatherings here as Elders, he came with thanksgiving in his heart along with his entire family, brothers and sister, friends and well-wishers.
He came with a good heart. He came with lavish gifts and entertainment for everybody. We danced, we praised God and we rejoiced exceedingly. That day was another day. I was watching the way things were going even in My weakness.
Then, the time for the presentation of the baby came. I instructed him to come forward with His son, together with his wife and the entire family.
I ordered our Pastor to collect that baby in his hands and to present the baby to God through prayers. I was sitting down. He obeyed.
In the course of the presentation, the Pastor enquired about the name of the baby. Our Brother said, “Hei! THE SON OF MAN will name my baby.” Our Pastor asked him another question, “Did you discuss that with Him?” He said no that he never discussed with Him. The Pastor said, “Okay! How dare you say that He [THE SON OF MAN] will name your child.”
Then from My seat, I said, “My friend, give your son a name. You told Me that you were presenting your child. You never discussed with Me or muted it to Me that I should name your son. Give your son a name. Have you not been calling your son something since God blessed you with this child?”
He said, “I have.” I said, “Okay! The name will continue. Name that child whatever you have been calling him.” He said, “Daddy, I have been calling him ‘Naetochukwu’”, which means “Go ahead praising God. Go ahead praising God.” Do not relent. Naetochukwu.
I said, “Ah ah! Madam, what is the name of your son?” She said, “The same thing. I have been calling my son Naetochukwu.”
I said, “Okay. You are sharing the same name with our Brother Victor Nnachor who is there in Netherlands. That is the name of his first son.” I then said, “Okay. No problem.”
The baby was presented. I was there. Live! They never knew that in My pocket was an envelope with a little token to bless the child, for no sensible human being can see or receive a new born babe with empty hands. It is a part of our ingratitude which we manifest to ourselves and to the Almighty God.
We come, we eat, we drink and we rejoice, but you do not say ‘Welcome!’ to the new baby with generous gifts. It does not make anybody poor.
Those who received the LORD Jesus Christ lying in the manger never went there empty-handed. When they got there, they praised God and they gave generous gift.
I mean, I have been trying to see what I will do to make Brethren follow My footsteps.
It is unheard of. I can never attempt it, no matter where that baby is coming from, provided the baby is coming to be presented to Me. That has not even hindered Me or sending My wife or going with My wife to see the baby, each time a baby was born.
First, rush to the hospital and say ‘welcome’ to the mother who resurrected from the dead, for every woman that entered the labour room died and God brought that woman back to life together with her baby.
First, rush there and say welcome if you have the opportunity. But when you do not have that opportunity, arrange to go to their place if you know where they are living or send somebody on your behalf. Go and see the baby and say, ‘Welcome!’
Whatever you are being led to go with can be materials. It can be money. Present it there. But if you cannot do that, and you will be privileged to be there present when the baby will be presented before the Assembly of the Saints to the Almighty God, which does not take us unawares, for we normally know about it ahead of time, what stops you from coming with [at least] generous gifts to appreciate the new baby.
Well, it should not form My sermon anyway.
Now, after the presentation, they were about to leave My presence, but I said, “No! Bring that baby to Me and let Me anoint the baby in My own way.” I laid My hands on that baby, and then dipped My hand in My pocket and placed an envelope on the baby.
I instructed the father to go and have his seat, but he pocketed the envelope. And I said, “No! Bring it out. That envelope does not belong to you. There is an inscription on that envelope. Do not open it, but read the inscription to the hearing of many.”
He read the inscription on that envelope thus, “JUST FOR THE BABY. NAME – COVENANT CHIGOZIE.” Ibekwe was omitted. At the back of the envelope, it said, “GOD KEEPS HIS COVENANT FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING.”
Everybody shouted. Then THE SON OF MAN asked a question, “Has there been any among us with the name COVENANT?” The answer was no!
Then, our Brother raised his hands for a testimony to the glory of God. He narrated his experience of how our Pastor visited him in a dream of the night. After their discussions, the Pastor gave him a token [a little token] for the baby in his own way.
Seeing that the Pastor has not visited his house before, while the Pastor was going away, our Brother Chigozie gave him generous gifts in return. But our Pastor refused the gifts and said no that he never needed it. Brother Chigozie said, “Manage it for your transport”, but our Pastor said, “No! I do not need it.” And the dream left him.
Then the wife had her own dream – the first. Her most senior sister accosted her on the way and enquired of her whether she and the husband are still keeping watch and waiting on the covenant God entered into with their family.
And this Sister who is the wife of our Brother never knew anything about the covenant. The husband has not disclosed to her that the family is governed by God’s everlasting covenant.
That covenant has made all of them indestructible. By the Words of that covenant, they were restored to their homeland, Nnobi amidst troubles. By the words of the covenant, they went through fire. They went through waters. They went through the mountains and rivers. They went through the valleys.
If you want to know more, go and see them. Believe their testimonies. They are according to truth.
All that have been following Me from the very beginning and who are still alive spiritually and physically can attest to My testimony concerning that family to be true and nothing but the truth.
Remember the three ways by which God saves a human being. So, I go ahead.
Then the wife [of Brother Chigozie] had another dream before the child was presented again. Her father visited them in their house. After saluting them, he called her and warned her to be very careful to observe the covenant which God entered into with their family. And the dream left her.
The first was her most senior sister. At another time, her father. She went to the husband to narrate the two separate dreams. The husband could not say anything. And they left that dream like that.
Many weeks after, they came to present the baby. When THE SON OF MAN never knew about the dream, He knew nothing about what was transpiring in their family. And no flesh knew anything about it except the couple.

… not even death will change your conviction. Do you know that? Not even death will remove your conviction and certainty in Christ. Are you convinced that you are not deceived by Apostle Peter Odoemena? Are you convinced that God did not gather you to deceive you? Has it become a revelation that you are worshipping the God that your forefathers worshipped? By your forefathers, I mean, people like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon and the rest of them, down to the Lord Jesus. ARE YOU CONVINCED? If you are not convinced, you are not worthy to continue with us. You have no right to continue with us because you are not sure. If you know that one that is very clear to you, and that is the one you believe, go there.

– THE SON OF MAN –

ARE YOU CONVINCED? Preached on Sunday 15^th April, 2012 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 130 vs. 52 – 53

CONVICTION IS DIVINE [1]

It is just like this morning, he disclosed something which no human being knows. I mean, Brother Chigozie. He never used his mouth to tell the son of man anything about it, but I knew all, for I was the One that visited Him because of the covenant.

As a result of the covenant, although he was no longer coming to Fellowship, for he has abstained from Fellowship, he fell sick and was near unto death there at the Anambra State Teaching Hospital or Odumegwu Ojukwu Teaching Hospital, Awka.
He was gasping. Then by faith, he instructed the senior sister to come down to see THE SON OF MAN and narrate what was happening. She rushed. I needed nothing but a bottle of olive oil. She said that she came with one.
I wanted to talk to him using the phone, but he could not talk. He was almost in a coma. Then I spoke to the senior sister at the Fellowship ground besides that mango tree.
I said, “Sister! Do you still remember the covenant binding your family with the Almighty God?” She said, “Daddy, nobody in my family can forget that covenant.”
Then I said, “OK. Take this olive oil. Go to that same hospital. In keeping with the covenant, look at what you will do when you get there. Pour it into the lead [the bottle cover – three times] and give it to him. Do not allow doctors or nurses to stop you from doing it. After administering it the way I have said you should do, do not rub it on his body. Leave him. He will open his eyes. He will speak. And that is not all. He will get up. Do not be shocked. If he gets up, he will drive his vehicle. He will come here.”
Doubting nothing, she left immediately for Awka and did as she was commanded. Before many witnesses, the dead resurrected. The dead drove his car from Awka to the same Fellowship ground.
Doctors were amazed. Nurses were astonished. Patients could not believe their eyes that one that was heading to the mortuary could rise up instantly and even drive his vehicle.
It is just like what happened in the case of brother Iyke Obasanya.
You see! Conviction is divine. You must hold on to your own definite experience which you know that no devil, no human being did that, but the Almighty God. When God is out to save, He saves to the utmost.
God was out to save Brother Iyke Obasanya. Because of Brother Iyke Obasanya, He saved also his Rector who was his friend, but who later turned to be an enemy at the end. And that was to convince Bro Iyke that human beings are very changeable.
And Bro Iyke sacrificed his life, while helping the man. When he lost the mother, Bro Iyke gave his life to helping his friend to give a befitting burial to his late mother. And then, he [Bro Iyke] nearly lost his life.
At the end of the day, nobody believed that Iyke Obasanya could recover with his full senses and with everywhere intact because he lost his memory. He nearly lost his eyes. He was gasping.
Initially he died. They were heading to the mortuary at Borromeo Hospital [Onitsha], but God halted it because I was at Upper Iweka when I got the phone call from the sister who told Me what was happening, “They have carried the corpse to Borromeo.” And I said, “That is not true. Iyke is coming out.”
And that very hour, he sneezed. Immediately he sneezed, all that were in that ambulance noticed that one sneezed. They turned to the other one, he was gasping. The ambulance reversed and then went back to Iyi-Enu Specialist Hospital.
Before they got there, Bro Iyke’s eyes were open. That of his friend was open. A miracle of all miracles.
I would not talk about Bro Mike Emmanuel. You must be sustained by your own personal experience. There must be something supernatural that must have come your way which nobody can explain away from you.
And it would not be something that happened in secret. You know it. You know how it took place.
So, this morning, I forwarded something that is amusing – very much amusing. But if it does not happen that way, how can the Word of THE SON OF MAN come to pass.
Speak no evil against anybody, especially those that have handled this Message, ordained by God to speak to the whole world, bearing witnesses of the truth. Even if they renege from that truth, they are not the first.
Peter bore witness of the truth. Peter also rejoined with the old association. Barnabas followed in the same dissimulation – in the same hypocrisy and joined John Mark. What can we say about Demas? What can we say about Diotrephes? What can we say about Apostles – Alexander, Philetus and Hymenaeus? What can we say about Bishop Judas? The litany is endless.
John 21:2 – 3, LB. ^[2]A group of us were there—Simon Peter, Thomas, “The Twin,” Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, my brother James and I and two other disciples. ^[3]Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing.” “We’ll come too,” we all said. We did, but caught nothing all night.
Acts 21:18 – 24, LB. ^[18]The second day Paul took us with him to meet with James and the elders of the Jerusalem church. ^[19]After greetings were exchanged, Paul recounted the many things God had accomplished among the Gentiles through his work. ^[20]They praised God but then said, “You know, dear brother, how many thousands of Jews have also believed, and they are all very insistent that Jewish believers must continue to follow the Jewish traditions and customs. ^[21]Our Jewish Christians here at Jerusalem have been told that you are against the laws of Moses, against our Jewish customs, and that you forbid the circumcision of their children. ^[22]Now what can be done? For they will certainly hear that you have come. ^[23]“We suggest this: We have four men here who are preparing to shave their heads and take some vows. ^[24]Go with them to the Temple and have your head shaved too—and pay for theirs to be shaved. “Then everyone will know that you approve of this custom for the Hebrew Christians and that you yourself obey the Jewish laws and are in line with our thinking in these matters.
Galatians 2:13 – 14, LB. ^[13]and then all the other Jewish Christians and even Barnabas became hypocrites too, following Peter’s example, though they certainly knew better. ^[^14]When I saw what was happening and that they weren’t being honest about what they really believed and weren’t following the truth of the Gospel, I said to Peter in front of all the others, “Though you are a Jew by birth, you have long since discarded the Jewish laws; so why, all of a sudden, are you trying to make these Gentiles obey them?
Acts 15:36 – 39, AMP. ³⁶And after some time Paul said to Barnabas, Come, let us go back and again visit and help and minister to the brethren in every town where we made known the message of the Lord, and see how they are getting along. ³⁷Now Barnabas wanted to take with them John called Mark [his near relative]. ³⁸But Paul did not think it best to have along with them the one who had quit and deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone on with them to the work. ³⁹And there followed a sharp disagreement between them, so that they separated from each other, and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus.
2 Timothy 4:9 – 10, AMP.⁹Make every effort to come to me soon. ¹⁰For Demas has deserted me for love of this present world and has gone to Thessalonica; Crescens [has gone] to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
3 John 1:9 – 10, AMP. ⁹I have written briefly to the church; but Diotrephes, who likes to take the lead among them and put himself first, does not acknowledge my authority and refuses to accept my suggestions or to listen to me. ¹⁰So when I arrive, I will call attention to what he is doing, his boiling over and casting malicious reflections upon us with insinuating language. And not satisfied with that, he refuses to receive and welcome the [missionary] brethren himself, and also interferes with and forbids those who would welcome them, and tries to expel (excommunicate) them from the church.
2 Timothy 4:14 – 15, AMP. ¹⁴Alexander the coppersmith did me great wrongs. The Lord will pay him back for his actions. ¹⁵Beware of him yourself, for he opposed and resisted our message very strongly and exceedingly.
2 Timothy 2:16 – 18, AMP. ¹⁶But avoid all empty (vain, useless, idle) talk, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness. ¹⁷And their teaching [will devour; it] will eat its way like cancer or spread like gangrene. So it is with Hymenaeus and Philetus, ¹⁸Who have missed the mark and swerved from the truth by arguing that the resurrection has already taken place. They are undermining the faith of some.
Matthew 26:14 – 16 & 46 – 50, AMP. ¹⁴Then one of the Twelve [apostles], who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests ¹⁵And said, What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you? And they weighed out for and paid to him thirty pieces of silver [about twenty-one dollars and sixty cents]. ¹⁶And from that moment he sought a fitting opportunity to betray Him. ……. ⁴⁶Get up, let us be going! See, My betrayer is at hand! ⁴⁷As He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve [apostles], came up, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people. ⁴⁸Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, The One I shall kiss is the Man; seize Him. ⁴⁹And he came up to Jesus at once and said, Hail (greetings, good health to You, long life to You), Master! And he embraced Him and kissed Him with [pretended] warmth and devotion. ⁵⁰Jesus said to him, Friend, for what are you here? Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and arrested Him.
These are biblical litanies, but there are thousand and one of them in our own day.
So Galatians 2:13 – 14, AMP. Our Brother Chigozie had his own encounter. That was yesterday where he was doing his business at Upper Iweka.
Lo and behold, an ancient prophet, fair-complexioned, our former Bishop who is now calling himself many names went to his shop, pretending he was coming to buy something, and then started negotiating.
Then, our Brother knew that that day was not the first day he was crossing there. He has been passing there, but he saw it as an opportunity on a Saturday seeing that he [Bro Chigozie] was alone.
He first of all, enquired about the wife. Our Brother said, “My wife is not here. She is at home, taking care of the children. Our wives do not come to work or market businesses on Saturdays. No! They take Saturdays to take care of their families, according to our Faith.”
So, he saw a prey. He never knew that the man he was coming to has risen above him in the knowledge of Christ, in the knowledge of Scriptures, in the knowledge of truth and in spiritual insights, and who has had too many experiences and personal encounters that are supernatural.
That is why I told you that you must be sustained by your own personal experience. If you are following My testimonies, they belong to THE SON OF MAN. My experiences belong to Me. Your own belongs to you.
Do not follow Apostle Peter Odoemena. Follow the Cloud. Let the Cloud do for you that which it did for THE SON OF MAN, for we are one, for we are Messengers of the same Message and believers of the same Message. So, we must manifest the same thing.
So [the ancient prophet] went there pretending to buy something. Then in the process of the buying, our Brother was inspired by the Holy Spirit. He knew that Okey is not a new comer to him. He knew that there was no way they could end it in buying and selling.
So, he switched his android handset on intending to record every conversation relating to the business and any other thing that may likely follow it, for Bro Chigozie knew him as – a wandering star, a fugitive and a vagabond who was excommunicated by the faith.
And the LORD had earlier predicted what will happen to him. And they all happened to the letter. God said that he will never die, and that he will sustain his life so that he will see the end of the Ministry, and know what will become of THE SON OF MAN and those that believe in Him.
From that time March 15, 2003, he has started many movements, naming them one thing or the other. He went wild preaching on the streets and in the market places.
He has attended CMS church. I mean Church Missionary Society, CMS – his old association. There, he baptized his children as infants. Can you imagine?
He has attended many end time message groups. He found fault with all of them because they knew him before he came, for that was where he left and joined us. He tried it with the Pentecostals, but it could not work for him.
He started his own which he called, “Church of the Lord Jesus Christ”, with his members who were also excommunicated from among us, to fulfill the dream God gave to a Sister where she saw him as a goat that was pulled out of our midst.
He made a movement and the only people that followed him were those that were excommunicated from the Faith. He fulfilled all.
Now, the conversation ensued. He wanted to seduce our Brother away from the truth, being an old prophet, but our Brother was prepared spiritually at all times.
I cannot forget the day I paid him a surprise visit. He was there with his copy of the Bible and also with his android that has too many versions of the Bible.
We were standing there. For hours, we stood together with his boys. It got to the point that his neighbours joined in that Fellowship in the market.
I could not enter his shop without saying hello. I started with Hebrews chapter 5, and from there, we took off. And at the end of the day, he was very happy together with everybody there.
We read Scriptures upon Scriptures upon Scriptures. He said, “Daddy, you have made my day.”
It gives him joy to stay with somebody who will take him to the Word and share the Word with him.
And look at that. The devil stopped there in the form of a human being on a Saturday. He was pleading to have audience, but our Brother said, “Look! I am not serving anybody but God. This shop is God’s shop. I own it quite alright. I am not accountable to any human being. I can close it from now till one month time, provided we will discuss the affairs of Christ. Period! So, you are free. Go ahead! What is business? What is money? Money is temporary.”
Then he started talking. Our Brother gave him audience, but midway, our Brother cut him.
For that reason, I do not want to go there. I decided to post the conversation between Brother Chigozie Ibekwe and that highly celebrated Bishop who made ship wreck [1] because of his tussle for leadership, [2] envy and jealousy, [3] covetousness, [4] popularity.
He wanted to be popular. He was always seeking to have the preeminence over everybody. He was never pastored for one day.
He left CMS church [Anglican communion] according to his testimony. He was arrested by the police together with his friends for indulging in armed robbery when they were in the same secondary school at Owerrinta.
There at the police custody, he impersonated and gave the police another name which made them to label him a hardened criminal. Others were bailed by their parents, but nobody could bail him because he gave a wrong name.
It was not until the parents got disgusted after many weeks, that they went to that same place again. All that were arrested were all paraded and his mother identified him. Then the police asked him his name. He said his name is Ubani but he deliberately wrote Anthony. In the list, the police had Anthony, but his name is Ubani.
Since he was not ashamed of sharing that testimony in the pulpit, and we incorporated it in the sermon book, I am not equally ashamed of sharing it. But he should have repented of that sprit before joining any church.
He joined Deeper life. From Deeper life, he left and then joined end time message, a free movement. Nobody pastored him in the end time Message, for he came and assumed the position of a minister immediately, carrying his bag from one place to another, for he has no reasonable occupation.
Then from there, he started his journey through life. He never sat down one day to be pastored. No sooner he joined end time message than he could relate with Emeka Eziukwu, Malachy Osuagwu and they plotted a coup and ousted the pastor, Philip Onyenali.
If you want to know about this, go to Brother Amankem Uwakwe, Kelechi Uwakwe, John Ekwueme, Chime Nwachukwu, Dan Nwadike. Go to them.
They are still alive. There are too many others, for they were together, worshipping together before I ever came into their midst. They had already been worshipping for over ten years before I identified with them.
So, with this now, you can believe that I never started any movement. I am a victim of circumstance. That is the way I put it. A victim of circumstance. What is that circumstance?
I came in and identified with them, with an audible Voice from the Almighty God which I know to be truth. Otherwise, He would not have guided Me to a place I knew not.
Then it was a time when they were praying worldwide for the fulfilment of prophecy by William Marrion Branham, which He had already told them that it had already taken place.
Before he left the scene in 1965, he had already announced that the Person was already on the scene. He now gave them the mark of identification. The whole world, including America went into prayers. Africa and the whole continents went in search of that Person.
Then He narrowed it down that He is a black sheep. He will be seen as a black sheep lying in one of the jungles in Africa.
Is it any wonder when I posted the woman evangelist – an American evangelist – a woman who was emphasizing that God is a black man, a native of Africa? People thought that that was the teaching of a woman.
But recently I posted one from a celebrated evangelist – Billy Graham. I mean, a pure-blooded American who has laid credence to this truth and nailed it very hard that God is a native of Africa. That God is a black man and that He is of African descent. He wanted all to challenge him.
If I have My way, I will give you the words of T. L. Osborn, Oral Roberts and D. L. Moody. I will give you their words concerning this matter.
I do not want to talk about Gordon Lindsay who preached the message GOD VISITS AFRICA and too many others. If I talk about Professor Nathan Uzoma, you will say that he is a Nigerian. But I must talk about him. There is no mistake in what God is doing.

Despise not a year of small things. With these few Words, I encourage you to continue in the Faith, holding unto your profession, knowing for sure that He that is in your midst is nothing but what He has made you to believe that He is, and by divine conviction, you are sure. He is watching over the world. He is assessing everything; He is assessing His Church. He has something, which is hidden in Himself, which nobody knows. You cannot probe into it. He has kept the secret to Himself.

– THE SON OF MAN –

DESPISE NOT THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS; preached on Sunday 6^th January 2002 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 105 vs. 23 – 24

CONVICTION IS DIVINE [2]

So, what happened? That encounter thrilled Me this morning. It thrilled Me so much. And I am left with no other alternative than to allow you to listen to it.

You will see why it is expedient and very very needful that everyone should stand on his own conviction that what you are believing is the truth and nothing but the truth. It is not ordinary truth, but truth that is confirmed by the Almighty, vindicated by the Almighty and prophesied before you were born.
Now, in this last days, God has revealed all ancient manuscripts, archeological parchments – Talmuds of the Sanhedrins, both the Torah and the Holy Qur’an, even the Grail Message, the Hindu religion, the Ethiopic Books – I mean the fundamental Faith, Testaments [Writings] of Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob; Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs and the forgotten Books of Eden. What can you say about nature?
I want you to go through and pay attention to that conversation and see why THE SON OF MAN has been emphasizing on the need for everybody to stand on his or her personal conviction based on your own personal experiences, and not collective experience.
There was no time for our Brother to go further. He [Bro Chigozie] said that he would have damaged him, but he stopped at that Pillar of Cloud alone which was the one Okey was present and witnessed, but did everything he did to prove it wrong. He only ended it justifying it and justified it even more now.
What if he was here when the Godhead was revealed, and when the Original Body and the rest came into plain view? He would not have volunteered to leave.
But he left that the Scriptures might be fulfilled, for God is the One that troubled him and threw him out, for he was polluting the Camp of God’s people. And the Camp of God’s people must be separated from the Camp of the ungodly.
If you are not standing on your own personal experience, you are standing on a sinking sand. And that is why many are not manifesting the life of Christ.
[1] They are not convinced that they are holding the truth. [2] There is no personal life experience – a sustainable experience sustaining them.
They are only quoting what others are saying and quoting other people’s experiences. If you accost him on the way, he will say, “OK. Let me go and tell Daddy. Let Me call our Pastor now. And then you and our Pastor will talk.” They cannot say, “Bring the Scriptures” like our Brother Chigozie.
Let us go to the Word. And he [Okey Nwamkpa] started struggling, “You must come over.” So he still wants people to come over. This is the same thing he was saying when he said he was establishing the Inner Circle ministry. The Inner Circle left him, for all of them deserted him.
Then he started another one he called, Church of Jesus Christ. They found him to be a criminal and then came back to us, testifying of their experiences including Okechukwu painter. They came testifying.
He now joined Amaechi of the Joshua ministry and Mbadinuju [the former governor of Anambra State]. We have come into contact with some of their members. Amaechi is based in Benin-City. Dr. Chinweoke Mbadinuju is based in Abuja whose history is chequered throughout the whole world.
If you mention the name, it is not a new name in Nigeria, even the world over, for he read in America, and then came back to Nigeria.
And I have shared My experiences with him, and of how I went to him with Apostle Ojiakor and told him how he will be the governor of this state and be another prophet Jehu. I told him that he must deny Christ and commit heinous crimes that will not be wiped away from the memory of all Anambrarians.
By the time he wanted to know me more, I had already moved away with Apostle Ojiakor.
Amaechi is My man and My friend whom I helped in diverse ways. We were together at No. 22 Oguta Road [Onitsha], Christian Centre. But he was a fast guy from Awgbu, looking for people who had money.
He was the one that said that I should work with Mbadinuju. He said that I should join him so that we should work together because Mbadinuju has money and that he will establish us. I said, “I do not vomit and eat it again.”
He went and worked with him [Mbadinuju] and became his adviser on religious matters. He had an office at Awka. Mbadinuju gave him the money, but at the end of the day, what happened?
He received an appointment – a political appointment to be the governor’s adviser on religious matters. He just created an office. And then made him a pastor to preach. He is married to six wives.
I do not condemn him. I do not condemn him. No No No! He can marry one million. It is his right, provided he will take care of them.
Our Patriarchs married like that. All our Patriarchs were polygamists. Do you know what I am saying? Take it from Me. Every man is a polygamist. Every man is a polygamist in one way or the other. It is a hard truth! Thank you.
I heard the detailed encounter. What Okechukwu was condemning is now what he is justifying. He said it is natural. I do not want to talk more. You are the judge.
Listen to that conversation. What is My interest? Our Brother has confirmed to Me that he is not following me for following sake.
He is following me because of personal conviction which is divine and he has had his own personal experiences and personal visitations even when he was in dungeon – when he was in prison custody of how he separated himself when he heard the truth.
He also testified of the many times God visited Him, and God is still visiting him till this very hour. And will remain visiting that family.
Passersby along that road now get astonished when they look at the building. Some do not even recognize that building again. That was the building that was an accursed building before everybody, but today, it has become the most admirable building along that road.
So it is with the family at Nnobi and everywhere. They will keep on shining like beacons wherever they are. They are diamonds in the hand of God.
Somebody somewhere might be thinking that I am praising them. No! I am not praising anybody. What is more? I cannot remember the last day I stepped My feet into that compound since Mama died and was buried. I cannot remember. I cannot remember if I have at any time even passed through that Omagba road. I have not. If I will locate it now, it will be a miracle. So it is with others.
No matter where you are, if you have a good heart and you are straight-forward, God must visit you in a special way. I told you that if you are for translation, you will know.
I do not need to tell you whether you are a child of God or not. If you are a child of God, you must know. Your encounter with God and God alone will get you convinced, for it will take God to point you to THE SON OF MAN.
No man can come to Me except My Father brings Him to Me. It takes God to tell you, “Listen to the son of man. This is the Man I have chosen.” It takes God alone.
If the son of man is not revealed in your own heart – personal heart – you are wasting your time. THE SON OF MAN must be personally revealed in your heart as God. It must be your own revelation.
What is THE SON OF MAN to you? Others see Him as the LORD God Almighty. Some see Him as Apostle Peter Odoemena – a mere man. Others see Him as naked devil that is not worthy to live. So, you must have your own personal revelation and personal visitation.
He has had his visitations. He kept all to himself. And he is being sustained by his experience in Christ. There are too many things he has suffered with his family, and people thought that that was the end of the family, but God said, “Never!” Never Never!
Today, he is happily married with children. Even the promise God gave to him that, “Today people see you and laugh at you, but I tell you, you are the one I have chosen to replace your father’s business. That is what you will do. Close that thing you are doing. This is what I want you to do.”
And he obeyed immediately at Upper-Iweka. And I was coming there from time to time from My own shop to monitor the developments.
Each time he travels to Lagos, he leaves his houseboy behind for he was not married. I make sure that in a week, I must be there to know how that shop is faring.
At a time, he ran to Lagos and refused to come back. I called him, “Do not close that shop. You must come back empty-handed from Lagos, for your livewire is that shop.”
When he came back from Lagos, he came back empty-handed and went back to that empty shop. And the LORD followed him there and started prospering him again.
From there, look at that building. Go and see it. From there, look at that big bus. He bought it as direct Belgium. Look at his Jeep. See his family. He is constantly there. He does not seek customers. His goods will come directly from Lagos. And from everywhere, people will be carrying from him.
God maketh a man rich, and He addeth no sorrow to it.
Psalms 10:22, KJV. The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
When God wants to bless you, He will bless you. If he does not want to bless you, no matter how you struggle, you are wasting your time. If God does not bless a man’s efforts, he will waste his time in vain. He will only make noise but he will never see the light of the day.
I posted that thing because God was the One that inspired him to record it. But Okechukwu Nwamkpa, our former Bishop never knew that our Brother was recording it. If he knew, he would have closed his mouth or ordered him to stop the recording.
So, as I am talking to you now, he [Okey Nwamkpa] does not know that the Voice he raised at Upper-Iweka has gone round the whole world, so that the world will now see where he is.
He is now saying that we should come over to him, that he has now grown in faith and it is now Yeshua Hamashiach.
Brother Chigozie asked him, “So, you are no longer in the Bride of Christ Ministry” and he retorted, “What is Bride of Christ? We are talking about Yeshua Hamashiach.” We will see many things.
Yeshua Hamashiach, as if it is new. He never knew that I came into contact with them at Nsugbe with Brother Sunday Eze. Then, I sat the young man down and began to talk to him about his superintendents and overseers.
He thought I was kidding. He called. He called and gave the phone to Amaechi, and Amaechi exclaimed, “What? Who am I hearing? THE SON OF MAN?” I said, “I AM. But you said that you are the Almighty, the Majesty and everything.” He said, “That is not what we will talk over the phone. You know.”
I then said, “Call Mbadinuju. I heard he died.” He said, “Yes” and went further to say that he did not die, and the rumour went wild but that he survived.
He called him [Mbadinuju], and he picked. After salutation, I collected the phone from him to salute the man for he was very good to Me.
I was a bachelor that time. I came to him to share My revelation with him. Little did I know that, being a millionaire who was prominent and the president of the Full Gospel Business Men Fellowship of Nigeria, he hijacked my revelation, called Me for defense and assembled all the Pentecostal pastors in Onitsha – forty-two of them.
Bro Mike [Emmanuel] was there and many others. I had to defend the revelation from evening till midnight, and baptized twelve out of the forty-two that night. They led Me home.
At the end of the day, we continued in fellowship together at the Christian Centre at 22 Oguta Road.
Deeper life found fault with Me. Those who I took to that place, and who I thought was faithful, when persecution came, they denied Me and ran back to deeper life. I remained alone.
Then trouble ensued because I could not share with them where they were going to. I hate anything commercial religion. Immediately they moved over to tithe, I said, “No! This is the old way of doing things. We do not talk of tithe anymore. we do not talk of fasting and praying. Why should you fast when the Bridegroom is alive? The Bridegroom is here already. Stop fasting! Stop fasting and let us mean business.”
I showed them in the Book of Mark and told them that it is the old way of doing things. Their eyes opened because whatever I proclaimed they say show us in the Bible. I said, “Which means, if I talk to you and it is not in the Bible, you will not believe Me. Nevertheless, let us continue.” I abandoned them and continued My way.
So, listen to that conversation and find out for yourself whether you have had your own personal experience that is sustaining you.
Our deposed Brother, Ben Okezue in his Message said, “Nobody preached THE SON OF MAN, Apostle Peter Odoemena to my heart. Nobody caused me to believe Him to be the Almighty God.
He was the One that convinced me. He made me to believe in Him, for He came my way in a supernatural way no human being has ever come. And He has given me the Word of life in a way no human being, not even the LORD Jesus gave me the Word that way.
What is more? The supernaturals that confirms His claims are all irreversible. They are all according to truth and according to Scriptures, for they were prophesied before they came to pass. God promised them, and they have come to pass. What else do I need? The more sure Word of prophecy is there. The vindicating signs are there.
Then the life was first made manifest, for I have lived in His house with my wife for months and we were together. From time to time, we were sharing everything in common with Him and His Family. His Family is an outstanding Family. The life was projected. The evidence that God is in Him.” To God be the glory.
The reasons why I posted it are [1] For you to see what it takes to have your personal conviction and experience that will sustain you. [2] For you to be wary of ancient Prophets that lie in wait for you.
They will tell you, “We were with Him. We were with that Apostle Peter Odoemena. We were with Him from the beginning. What can you tell Me. I am the one. I will tell you about Him. I will do this and that.”
Our Brother kept asking him questions until he was choked by his word. Since you know Him and you were with Him, I want you to cancel this. Call it devil and let me know now. When you helped all of us even to believe this truth, you revealed all the mysteries. There was nothing left for you to preach. Why not humble yourself down and then speak the truth to yourself.
Nothing is wrong with the Faith, but something is wrong with those who claim they believe but they do not believe Me. They do not believe Me. If they had believed Me, manifesting it will be very easy.
My life is nothing but My doctrine. I manifest nothing but what I believe. So by My character, you will know and follow My belief. My character is My belief. So, you recognize Him in the Light of His belief.
I wanted him to nullify My character. So, he came to look for converts, but he jammed a rock he could not even scratch.
Can you be that rock? If any of the deposed ancient ministers will accost you on the way, would you not be stammering? They have a clever way of chipping in something. They will tell you that it is a new move.
They will tell you that God has left Apostle Peter Odoemena – THE SON OF MAN. Do you still take him seriously? No no no! He has already made shipwreck. Look at where God is – Yeshua Hamashiach.
To him, he thinks it is new. He never knew that I came into contact with them as far back as 1986. That was when I came into contact with them. This Yeshua ministry never started today. I have people who said their own is Yahweh – church of Yahweh.
These are semantics and nomenclatures that lead to nullity. If you like answer heaven and earth. If you like answer son of man’s church. Answer Jehovah church. Have you not seen Jehovah’s witnesses? Are they witnessing for Jehovah? They are witnessing for their churches and their stomach. Their gods are their own bellies.
How I wish our Brother asked Okey Nwamkpa his occupation. He would have known that he has no visible and viable means of livelihood. A wondering star.
So, be very careful. They are not dead. The devil is not dead. The devil is still moving about, using human beings to seduce you away. And that is if you are ordained to go that way. Remember he will say something that will attract your attention because he knows that you have no foundation.
With this type of defeat, he dares not pass that route again because wherever you floor the devil, he will avoid that zone.
He knows those that are very gullible to their gimmicks, “What is He saying now? What is He telling you now? What is He telling you is the present stage of the Ministry? And you are taking Him serious? So you believe Him. In short, I knew when He fell away. Come over! Come! Come to Limca. Come at the back back back and let us sit down and I will show you where we are now. This is Yeshua Yamashaki.”
Then call it Suzuki and Yamaha. Yeshua Suzuki. Yeshua Yamaha.
It is just like somebody was telling me that He is now in Joshua ministry and I said, “Shut up your mouth! Joshua is Jesus. You err not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.” He retorted, “What?” I repeated it, “Joshua is Jesus.” I showed him the Book of Hebrews and his eyes opened.
Hebrews 4:8, KJV. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
NIV. ⁸For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
GNB. If Joshua had given the people the rest that God had promised, God would not have spoken later about another day.
Joshua means Jesus. And somebody is here saying Jeshua Yamaha and Yamashaki. They will even call it Suzuki Yamaha. And then “Copindaba.” That was the one we were hearing in the end time message. Copindaba! What does that mean? Useless emulations.
If I speak in the language nobody understands, I am a noisy cymbal. If it is what it takes to speak in tongues, the Bible said that one will speak and another will interpret, for where there is not interpreter, there is no speaking in tongues, for the Message cannot pass across.
1 Corinthians 14:5 – 22, NIV. ⁵I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified. ⁶Now, brothers, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction? ⁷Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the flute or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes? ⁸Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? ⁹So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. ¹⁰Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. ¹¹If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me. ¹²So it is with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in gifts that build up the church. ¹³For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret what he says. ¹⁴For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. ¹⁵So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind. ¹⁶If you are praising God with your spirit, how can one who finds himself among those who do not understand say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying? ¹⁷You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other man is not edified. ¹⁸I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. ¹⁹But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue. ²⁰Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults. ²¹In the Law it is written: “Through men of strange tongues and through the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me,” says the Lord. ²²Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers.
But today, do they interpret? Who is interpreting? May be the speaker will speak and be the interpreter. Esoteric language. Run away!

I know very well that I am God made visible in human form. Remember I was not addressing one man. I was addressing a large crowd of innumerable witnesses that have the right to enquire, to investigate, to evaluate and things like that. They were given the chance to fault Me and to fault My preaching. You see why the Son of Man said, “Criticize Me. It is your right. Criticize Me constructively or destructively. It is your right. You have no right to subscribe to My Faith until you are convinced that I am He.” It is an individual conviction and it is a divine operation. Conviction is divine. You must be sure and certain that the attributes of the Deity are traceable to Me. Moreso, His more sure Word of prophecy which can never fail (SELAH)……

– THE SON OF MAN –

FORGET NOT WHAT YOUR EYES HAVE SEEN PART 2; Preached on Sunday 6^th August 2017 at the Household of God, Onitsha; Pg. 38: 20 – 23

TRUTH HAS NO SUBSTITUTE

Follow Me as I want to read few things. I want to read few things. Bring Living Bible [LB], the Message Bible [MSG] and Amplified version [AMP] only.

Hebrews 4:12, LB. For whatever God says to us is full of living power. … Remember, man does not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the lips of Christ – the Anointed One, the Messiah.
And I thank God that Bro Chigozie established it, “Apostle Peter Odoemena, THE VERY SON OF MAN is the Messiah of this generation. He is my God. He is my Messiah. In Him, I live. In Him, I confide.”
Can you make such bold assertions in the market place? If you are ashamed of confessing Him to be your God and your Messiah and your Redeemer, He will not save you, because you do not put your trust and confidence in Him.
You are not even sure. You are just making a fair show of membership of the Movement, but you are not one of us. This is because if you are one of us, by now, it is a settled truth. Settled!
For whatever God says to us is full of living power. … Not to the world o! To the world, it is useless nonsense according to their own interpretation.
To you here who is ordained to perish [ordained to perdition] whatever He says is useless nonsense. That is why you forget it too easily. That is why you set it aside. You put it away from yourself because it does not concern you.
BUT IF YOU ARE ORDAINED TO THIS PRESENT JUSTIFICATION AND NOT PRESENT CONDEMNATION, WHATEVER THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF MY MOUTH PENETRATES YOUR HEART, TEARS YOU ASUNDER, FORCES OUT THOSE HIDDEN HIDDEN EVILS YOU HAD ALREADY CONCEIVED IN YOUR HEART, MIND AND EVERYWHERE, PRESENTING THEM TO YOU AS YOU REALLY ARE.
… It is sharper than the sharpest dagger cutting swift and deep into our innermost thoughts and desires with all their parts, exposing us for what we really are. He knows about everyone everywhere. …
Who knows about everyone [everything] everywhere? God. That is why He is the Omniscient. He is the Omnipresent. He knows everything about you. Then, what is that thing you are suppressing. Of what use is your subtlety, cleverness and craftiness? Of what use is that sense you are displaying?
You see why, if God is against you, all those things you think you possess, they will never save you from His eternal judgment.
A man’s brilliance, a man’s cleverness, smartness and subtlety, a man’s high-sense can never save him, if God is against that individual.
… He knows about everyone everywhere. Everything about us is bare and wide open to the All-seeing eyes of our Living God. … Everything about all of us are naked and wide open before the eyes of the Almighty God Whom we are having dealings with.
… Nothing can be hidden from Him to Whom we must explain all that we have done.
So, there is Somebody you must explain all you have done. You are accountable to Somebody. You must give account of your stewardship to Somebody. Who is that Person?
He is somebody who you cannot tell lies. You must come to that place if you do not change your character and change your mind immediately. Your iniquity will bring you to that judgment table where both your past and your present will be revisited before your eyes. What a miserable place which nobody should pray he should go?
William Branham said, “If you love your life, do not say, ‘God, judge me.’” Do not ever pray to appear at the judgment table, for nobody goes there and comes out scot-free. Otherwise, you have won God. Can a man win God in a battle?
Tell Me, “Who will be your advocate that will plead your case in any court where God is standing there to prosecute a case against you. Tell Me the type of defense you will put up and then win your argument.
Go and purchase the services of the best forensic advocate in law, but you will still stand condemned – utterly condemned.
That is why the Bible said that when we are making our case with God, we think that we are prospering and that we are succeeding. It said, “Wait until God will cross-examine you.”
Wait until God will ask you one question. That one question will nullify all your defense. You must bow your head in shame and with tears. This is because that one question will disorganize you and destabilize you, for you cannot lie against the truth.
TRUTH HAS NO SUBSTITUTE. TRUTH FROM THE ALMIGHTY GOD REACHETH UNTO THE CLOUDS. THEY ARE IRREPRESSIBLE TRUTHS. THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN DO ANYTHING AGAINST IT, BUT YOU ARE FOR IT.
Just like we heard it this morning. Every attempt Bishop Okey Nwamkpa of blessed memory made to nullify the truth ended in his justifying and confirming the truth. He wanted to find fault with God, but he ended it justifying God, confirming the truth and quoting our Message also.
Well, God said that He will make him mad. He [God] will take away His Spirit [from Okey Nwamkpa] and He will give him evil spirit, and he will be mad, behave and say unimaginable things to the extent that he will find it difficult to say, “I am sorry.”
God said, “So he will continue as a fugitive and a vagabond until the day the Saints will go and God will destroy him with the wicked. But he will not die in the flesh first. He will be here and watch things unfold everyday.”
Can you imagine? Members of the Assemblies of God who collected our Messages called Me immediately Russia started invading Ukraine and too many things started happening.
They called Me from here and there, “SON OF MAN! We are holding a copy of that Magazine – THIS GENERATION IN PROPHECY. We saw all these things there.”
The other one said, “Aah! I am holding too many Messages, even BRIDAL WATCH where it was specified. Nigeria is equally there.”
I said, “Thank you very much. So you still hold My Messages. Why are you not My members then?” He said, “Ah ah! Must we come to your church before we become your members?”
I replied, “Of course no! But you cannot be in a condemned building and remain there until it will be pulled down. So, when you are sitting down on a seat and attempting to carry it up, you are attempting the impossible. You must come out from amongst them and be ye separate; and be not partakers of their sin.” Then I closed their mouths.
You cannot be in a system and condemn that system. How can you be sitting down on a particular cushion and then you want to lift it up? Can it happen? You must come out from that seat. Stand up! And then with your two hands, you lift it up. Until you come out from a group you cannot see clearer.
Remember, I am still reading Hebrews chapter four verse twelve. The Message Bible [MSG]. ^12-13God means what he says. … God does what? Have you heard this statement from the mouth of THE SON OF MAN? I MEAN WHAT I SAY. I SAY WHAT I MEAN. I DO NOT JEST.
Often times, He may come to you in a very playful way. You might be thinking that THE SON OF MAN is cracking jokes. I do not crack jokes. But wait until you commit that crime or go contrary. Then I will point you back to the day I highlighted that thing to you.
You might be saying, “Daddy, I never knew you were serious o!” That is you. I have many things for which I should use My mouth, but not for idle talks and things that are not convenient at all.
I do not have a convenient time to tell you the truth. Truth has no convenient time. Does it have? Every time is for the truth.
And I have told you that no matter where you meet Me; no matter where we are; no matter what we are doing, I am what I am.
I cannot be another thing because i am lying in the bed with you or because I am drinking in the beer parlour with you or eating on the dining table with you or even driving in the same vehicle with you. I am still what I am.
The dress I am wearing cannot change Me. Do you get what I am saying? Whether the president is wearing a double-breasted suit or Kaftan or wearing knicker, he is still our president as long as he is still on that throne and he is not yet deposed.
Even if he is playing Draught or Ludo in a recreation club with you, he is also our president. You are a privileged person to have been detailed to go and play with the president, but you have to be careful while playing with him.
If, because he is playing the same lawn tennis with you, you begin to ridicule him, he will order his back man to kill you there because he has the right to kill you. And nobody will drag him to any court because he is still on the throne. This is what people do not know.
The King on the throne does not commit iniquity. There is no court that will try the case of President Buhari in Nigeria as long as he is still on the throne. Why? He is covered by the immunity of the throne. As long as he is under that immunity, keep your mouth sealed.
Hebrews 4:12, MSG. ^12-13God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense,…
This is because when someone wants to die, his mouth will be filled with defense. Every human being has a defense of whatever he does. But has God approved of it? Any defense you are making outside the Word of God is a false defense, weak and unacceptable.
That is why THE SON OF MAN is always encouraging all of us to make sure that we take defensible actions – defendable actions. Any action or utterance you cannot defend using the teachings of Christ is illegal. It is illegal.
So, do not build a defense. Instead of obeying God, you begin building a defense on what you will give as excuse. There is no reasonable excuse before God. There is no good way for unbelief. There is no good way for doubt and hypocrisy. You cannot be wrong and right at the same time.
The reference can be found in ACTION IS FAITH EXPRESSED; Preached on Sunday, 18^th December 2011 at the Household of God Onitsha by Apostle Peter Odoemena – THE SON OF MAN, The Rock of Ages; Pg. 62 vs. 51 – 55. ⁵¹To challenge God’s Authority is very very simple. Very simple! Very easy! Especially when it comes in a very lowly and meek way; a very simple way. Yet, that is where you see people perishing. But we received a Message that said, “Obey the first Voice.” ⁵²He said, “No matter where He speaks to you, no matter where you are, even on the dining table and He speaks, no other person spoke to you but God.” Quote Him as the Authority. IF GOD IS NOT YOUR AUTHORITY IN ALL YOUR ACTIONS, YOUR ACTIONS ARE DEVILISH. ⁵³Concerning actions, God said, “If you must take any action on any matter, take a defensible action.” ANY ACTION THAT IS NOT DEFENSIBLE BY YOUR FAITH IS ACTION TAKEN IN ERROR. IF YOUR ACTION IS NOT backed up by your faith, you are in error. It is not a defensible action. ⁵⁴He said, “Do not condemn Me for what I have done until you have asked Me why, and then listen to My explanations.” So I owe you no apology for expressing My Faith. Are you getting what I am saying. ACTION IS FAITH EXPRESSED. Is it not true? ACTION IS FAITH EXPRESSED. ⁵⁵IF THE EXPRESSION OF MY FAITH CONTRADICTS MY FAITH; IF MY ACTION WHICH IS THE EXPRESSION OF MY FAITH IS IN DIRECT CONTRADICTION TO MY FAITH – TO THE FAITH OF THE SAINTS, I AM CONDEMNED. I CAN TENDER APOLOGY. BUT ONCE IT IS IN CONSONANCE WITH THE FAITH THAT IS REVEALED AMONG THE SAINTS OF GOD, I OWE NO MAN APOLOGY.
So, stop building up a defense to defend illegality. Instead of humbling yourself down to obey the truth, you ignore it to begin to form what you will tell that hindered you. Who is interested in listening to you?
The question is, “Have you done it?” Yes or No! Period! Did you do it? Yes or No! Anything other than that is rubbish. If you have not done it, you have not done it. If you have not obeyed, you have not obeyed.
“I tried.. And I was trying…” Shut up your mouth! Partial obedience is no obedience. Every half truth is a lie. Every half truth is a lie. It is like a drop of poison injected into a cup of water or into a cup of mineral water. It renders that particular cup of water toxic and poisonous.
If I pour acid into this cup, no matter the quantity of that acid; no matter the quantity of water; even if I tell you that the volume of water neutralizes it, you will find it difficult to drink it. True or false?
So it is, if you want to speak the truth, speak the full truth. Every half truth is a lie. Why did you withhold a part of the truth? An incomplete truth is a lie. It is unacceptable.
Hebrews 4:12, MSG. ^12-13God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey. Amen! Nothing and no one is impervious to God’s Word. …
Impervious! Something that cannot be penetrated. No matter how hard-hearted you might be; no matter how strong your neck might be, the LORD has the power to bend it. He has the power to penetrate your impervious heart – your impenetrable heart.
Nothing and no one is impervious to God’s Word. We can’t get away from it—no matter what.
Stop dodging that which you are trying to dodge. It is easier to dodge an elephant than to dodge a microbe. It is easier to dodge an arrow than to dodge dust [powder] that is thrown into the air. Can you dodge it?
If I throw an arrow at you, you can dodge it, but you can never dodge the dust that is thrown into the air. That is what I mean by a microbe. That is something that can only be seen with the help of a microscope. So stop dodging. Why you must pay heed to what I am saying.
