 WHO IS THIS MAN

 APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA

 THE SON OF MAN?

  

We have to be very careful

now than before. Introducing

the Deity to mankind has never been an easy task. It  requires a very big fight. Remember what it takes. It takes truth triumphing over falsehood. That has been the greatest battle ever fought

in the history of mankind. The battle between truth and

false, that is the greatest

battle ever fought.

Truth is trying to

establish itself,

false is trying

to have its

way.

THE SON OF MAN

(The Revelation of Latent Powers, Vol. 1 page 69 v 41)

  “It has always been a fight and a fact, to move people from one dispensation to another, from something they know to something they know not”. (Son of Man).

God has been a Man from the very beginning. He is the Holy Ghost, He is the Comforter, He is the Everlasting Father – God changes not. His mask (Badger skin) can change, but His Voice remains the same. BELIEVE IT IF YOU CAN...... – THE SON OF MAN (NOW I KNOW THAT THOU ART A MAN OF GOD, PG. 5)

Satan has come very low to wearing human flesh, to do destructive acts amongst human beings, God has decided to come low also to put on human veil so as to expose all his plans, all his secret ways of operation, so that all the sons and daughters of God will escape.

The greatest deceit today is found in the Church. Anybody going to Church to look for God has already missed it. You will see something that resembles God, but it is not God – THE SON OF MAN (BEWARE OF ESOTERIC LANGUAGE VOL. 1, PP. 47 VERSES 21 – 22)

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

“For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount” (2 peter 1:16-18, KJV).

“For we have not been telling you fairy tales when we explained to you the power of our Lord Jesus Christ and his coming again. My own eyes have seen his splendor and his glory: I was there on the holy mountain when he shone out with honour given him by God his father; I heard that glorious, majestic voice calling down from heaven, saying, “This is my much-loved son; I am well pleased with him” (2 Peter 1: 16 – 18 LB).

“We have not depended on made-up stories in making known to you the mighty coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  With our own eyes we saw his greatness.  We were there when he was given honour and glory by God the Father, when the voice came to him from the Supreme Glory, saying, “This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased!”  We ourselves heard this voice coming from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain” (2 Peter 1: 16 – 18, GNB).

“For we were not following cleverly devised stories when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah), but we were eye witnesses of His majesty (grandeur, authority of sovereign power).  For when He was invested with honour and glory from God the Father and a voice was borne to Him by the [splendid] Majestic Glory [in the bright cloud that overshadowed Him, saying], This is My beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased and delight, We [actually] heard this voice borne out of heaven, for we were together with Him on the holy mountain” (2Peter1: 16 – 18, AMP).

“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ” (1John1: 1 – 3, KJV).

“Christ was alive when the world began, yet I myself have seen him with my own eyes and listened to him speak.  I have touched him with my own hands.  He is God’s message of life. This one who is life from God has been shown to us, and we guarantee that we have seen him; I am speaking of Christ, who is eternal life.  He was with the Father and then was shown to us. Again I say, we are telling you about what we ourselves have actually seen and heard, so that you may share the fellowship and the joys we have with the Father and with Jesus Christ his son” (1 John 1: 1 – 3, LB).

“[We are writing] about the Word of Life [in] Him who existed from the beginning, whom we have heard, whom we have seen with our [own] eyes, whom we have gazed upon [for ourselves] and have touched with our [own] hands.  And the Life [an aspect of His being] was revealed (made manifest, demonstrated), and we saw [as eye witnesses] and are testifying to and declare to you the Life, the eternal Life [in Him] who already existed with the Father and Who [actually] was made visible (was revealed) to us [His followers].  What we have seen and [ourselves] heard, we are also telling you, so that you too may realize and enjoy fellowship as partners and partakers with us.  And [this] fellowship that we have [which is a distinguishing mark of Christians] is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah)” (1John 1: 1 – 3, AMP).

In the above scriptures, emphasis is placed on witness.  A true witness is one who is physically, psychologically, and mentally present, fully alert, and understands every aspect of that event and can now relay the incident across to others who were not opportuned to be at the scene of the incident.  A true witness is one who is not only present when an event takes place but is a part of that event.

I, Apostle Luke Ojiakor, a Medical Doctor and Coordinator of Medical Services, Medical Centre, University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus, fit into the last group.  I am a true witness and a part of all that have been taking place from the beginning till date.  I therefore say like Apostles Peter and John and some others who were eye witnesses of what took place in their own time, that I am declaring what I have witnessed, touched with my hands, seen with my eyes, and partaken of, for I have been physically, spiritually, mentally and understandably present from the very official beginning till now.

Luke spoke to Theophilus that Theophilus might know the certainty of all that Jesus began to teach and to do in His (Jesus) ministry so that Theophilus would not be misled.

Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eye witnesses and ministers of the word;  It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilius, that thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. (Luke 1: 1 – 4 KJV).

Dear friend who loves God: Several biographies of Christ have already been written using as their source material the reports circulating among us from the disciples and other eye witnesses.  However, it occurred to me that it would be well to recheck all these accounts from first to last and after thorough investigation to pass this summary on to you, to reassure you of the truth of all you were taught. (Luke 1: 1 - 4 LB).

Since (as is well known) many have undertaken to put in order and draw up a (thorough) narrative of the surely established deeds which have been accomplished and fulfilled in and among us,  Exactly as they were handed to us by those who from the (official) beginning (of Jesus’ ministry) were eye witnesses and ministers of the word (that is, of the doctrine concerning the attainment through Christ of salvation in the kingdom of God), it seemed good and desirable to me, (and so I have determined) also after having searched out diligently and followed all things closely and traced accurately the course from the highest to the minutest detail from the very first, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus. [My purpose is] that you may know the full truth and understand with certainty and security against error the accounts (histories) and doctrines of the faith of which you have been informed and in which you have been orally instructed. (Luke 1: 1 - 4 AMP).

Dear Theophilus, Many people have done their best to write a report of the things that have taken place among us.  They wrote what we have been told by those who saw these things from the beginning and who proclaimed the message.  And so, your Excellency, because I have carefully studied all these matters from their beginning, I thought it would be good to write an orderly account for you. I do this so that you will know the full truth about everything which you have been taught. (Luke 1: 1 – 4 GNB).

As Apostle Peter put it in 2 Peter 1: 16 – 18 quoted above, I say unequivocally that I was both eye and ear witness of His majesty when He, Apostle Peter Odoemena, the Son of Man received from the Father, honour and glory in December 1995, Camp Meeting.  The Son of Man handled the teaching of the Seven Seals.  As He was speaking on the sixth seal, lo and behold, a supernatural light came from above one end of the hall towards the pulpit, illuminating the entire hall like a powerful electric current and quenched all the electrical gadgets we were using.

As the Son of Man lifted up His hands, intending to give God praise, the voice went forth:

“Thus, it behoveth the Son of Man to fulfill all righteousness”

This voice we all heard during the 1995 Camp Meeting at Government Technical College (GTC) Compound Onitsha.  In Christ, I speak the truth and lie not. You will therefore do well to believe this report of a true Apostle of Christ.

While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased, hear ye him. (Mathew 17:5 KJV).

But even as he said it, a bright cloud came over them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, and I am wonderfully pleased with Him.  Obey Him”. (Mathew 17:5 LB).

While he was still speaking, behold, a shining cloud (composed of light) overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, This is My Son, My beloved, with Whom I am (and have always been) delighted. Listen to Him. (Mathew 17:5 AMP).

While he was talking, a shining cloud came over them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased-listen to Him!” (Mathew 17:5 GNB).

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: (2 Peter 1: 19 KJV).

So we have seen and proved that what the prophets said came true.  you will do well to pay close attention to everything they have written, for, like lights shining into dark corners, their words help us to understand many things that otherwise would be dark and difficult.  But when you consider the wonderful truth of the prophets’ words, then the light will dawn in your souls and Christ the Morning star will shine in your hearts. (2 Peter 1: 19 LB).   

So we are even more confident of the message proclaimed by the prophets.  You will do well to pay attention to it, because it is like a lamp shining in a dark place until the Day dawns and the light of the morning star shines in your hearts. (2 Peter 1: 19 GNB).

What a foundation you stand on now: the apostles and the prophets; and the cornerstone of the building is Jesus Christ Himself (Ephesians 2:20 LB)

And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone; (Ephesians 2:20 KJV)

You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself the chief cornerstone (Ephesians 2:20 AMP).

You, too, are built upon the foundation laid by the apostles and prophets, the cornerstone being Christ Jesus himself (Ephesians 2:20 GNB).

 “...People of Judah and Jerusalem! Put your trust in the LORD your God, and you will stand firm. Believe what His prophets tell you, and you will succeed”. (2 Chronicles 20:20 GNB)

“…hear me, O Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in the Lord your God and you shall be established; believe and remain steadfast to His prophets and you shall prosper”. (2 Chronicles 20:20 AMP).

“…hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe His prophets so shall ye prosper”. (2 Chronicles 20:20 KJV).

“…listen to me, O people of Judah and Jerusalem”, he said, “Believe in the Lord your God and you shall have success! Believe His prophets and everything will be alright!” (2 Chronicles 20:20 LB).

I would therefore urge you to patiently go through this treatise. Believe everything you read here for it is a true report.

WHO IS THIS MAN

APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA

THE SON OF MAN?

HE IS A PARADOX!

HE IS GOD ALMIGHTY!!

LET IT NOT CHOKE YOU…

For unto us a Child is Born, unto us a Son is Given: and the government shall be upon His Shoulder: and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.(ISAIAH 9:6 KJV).

Listen! The Virgin shall conceive a child! She shall give birth to a Son, and He shall be called “Emmanuel” (meaning “God is with Us”). (MATTHEW 1:23LB)

So God was born as a child, a Human Being!

A sure proof that God is a man!

CHAPTER TWO

HIS BIRTH

Looking at him ordinarily, he may look like a mere man. But the truth is that he is the Supreme Intelligence, the Sovereign Spirit that created the Universe, the Elohim, God Almighty in Human form!

He was born on 27^th December, 1955 in a very poor family of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Ohaeri Odoemena (Okwute) in the remote village, Uvuru, in Abor Mbaise Local Government Area (LGA) in present day Imo state, Nigeria. His father was a wood worker and his mother, a seamstress.

He had his primary education at a Roman Catholic Mission School, St. Mary’s Catholic School, Uvuru, Mbaise. Late Chief Lazarus Ahaneku was his headmaster.

He passed the entrance examination into Faith Tabernacle College, Okpala, another mission school owned and controlled by Faith Tabernacle Church. It was the only Faith Tabernacle College in the whole of West Africa. That was in the then East Central state of Nigeria with Ukpabi Asika as the Administrator of East Central State. When Government took over schools, the school was renamed Okpala Secondary School.

It is worthy to note that the present President of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, was in the same class and the same school with the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena. Both had similar poor family backgrounds, borrowing shoes since they had none to put on. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was a big encouragement to him since both were indigent students. He won the award for the best disciplined student of the graduating class in 1977.

“And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them but His mother kept all these sayings in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man” (Luke 2:40, 50-52 KJV).

“There the child became a strong, robust lad, and was known for wisdom beyond his years; and God poured out his blessings on him. But they didn’t understand what he meant. Then he returned to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them: and his mother stored away all these things in her heart. So Jesus grew both tall and wise and was loved by God and man”. (Luke 2:40, 50-52 LB).

“The child grew and became strong; he was full of wisdom, and God’s blessings were upon him. But they did not understand his answer. So Jesus went back with them to Nazareth, where he was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her heart. Jesus grew both in body and in wisdom, gaining favour with God and people”. (Luke 2:40, 50-52 GNB).

“And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace (favor and spiritual blessing) of God was upon Him. But they did not comprehend what He was saying to them. And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was (habitually) obedient to them; and his mother kept and closely and persistently guarded all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom (in broad and full understanding) and in stature and years, and in favour with God and Man”. (Luke 2:40, 50-52 AMP).

It should be recalled that His (Son of Man’s) life as a child was filled with life threatening challenges. One of such was when he had a domestic accident when he was trying to pluck fruit from a tree and a sharp pointed stick fell on, and pierced his head. He was taken to Emekuku Hospital, Imo State, where he nearly died. His mother abandoned him in the hospital and ran away when his condition become too critical. Almighty God saved His life because God always protects His gift in any vessel.

HIS MARRIAGE

He got married to a virtuous woman, Nzubechi Odoemena, in 1988. The marriage is blessed with seven children - four girls and three boys: Ijeoma, Onyedikachi, Ebubechukwu, Chiamaka, Chibueze, Chukwudi and Chukwubuikem.

He married just as Moses did. Marriage never stopped Moses from being God to the Israelites.

“And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land”. (Exodus 2:21-22, KJV).

“Moses eventually decided to accept Reuel’s invitation to live with them, and Reuel gave him one of the girls, Zipporah, as his wife. They had a baby named Gershom (meaning “foreigner”), for he said, “I am a stranger in a foreign land”. (Exodus 2:21-22, LB)

“So Moses decided to live there, and Jethro gave him his daughter Zipporah in marriage, who bore him a son. Moses said to himself, “I am a foreigner in this land, and so I name him Gershom”. (Exodus 2:21-22, GNB)

“And Moses was content to dwell with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom (expulsion, or a stranger there); for he said, I have been a stranger and a sojourner in a foreign land”. (Exodus 2:21-22, AMP).

“And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God”. (Exodus 4:16, KJV).

“He will be your spokesman to the people.  And you will be as God to him, telling him what to say”. (Exodus 4:16, LB).

“He will be your spokesman and speak to the people for you. Then you will be like God, telling him what to say” (Exodus 4:16, GNB).

“He shall speak for you to the people, acting as a mouthpiece for you, and you shall be as God to him”. (Exodus 4: 16, AMP).

SO MOSES WAS GOD IN HIS TIME.

A SURE SIGN THAT GOD IS A MAN!

 STRANGE EVENTS FOLLOWING HIS BIRTH

The Lord God Almighty started dealing with Him from infancy, hence he was born dumb.  From birth, a strange being has always appeared to him.  Each time he played with his playmates and the strange being appeared, he would run away. This made his parents hand him over to his great grandmother for protection.

He was also born blind.  However, each time the Lord would want him to read, he will read, even till this day.

This has been verified and confirmed by many specialist expatriates and indigenous ophthalmologists. One said before other expatriate colleagues at Marist Brothers Specialist Hospital at Uturu in Abia State, that “THIS IS A CASE STUDY”

CHAPTER THREE

THE GENESIS

METAMORPHOSIS INTO GOD

After searching for the Truth in the denominations and finding none, I came into the End Time Ministry in 1990, convinced that the Prophet William Branham whose life story I read, was sincere, humble and a true prophet of God. It was the End Time Group called Bible Believer’s Assembly, at Ugwumba Street, Nkpor, very close to Onitsha, Anambra State.  That same year 1990, Apostle Peter Odoemena, the Son of Man came in.  When I saw Him in the fellowship in that year 1990, I saw a man whose countenance was always radiating hope, encouragement, joy and gladness, a calm and unruffled composure, cheerful and yet very quiet. A strong force drew me to this man. We were all baptized in the River Niger, Onitsha that same 1990. As said before, He was quiet and would always speak from the scriptures and courageously, authoritatively, take actions that every religious being would consider an abomination, when settling disputes and sharp disagreements, only to enthrone peace and harmony among brethren.

“Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.  He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.  A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.  He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law” (ISAIAH 42:1 – 4, KJV).

“See my servant, whom I uphold; my Chosen One in whom I delight.  I have put my Spirit upon him; he will reveal justice to the nations of the world.  He will be gentle – he will not shout nor quarrel in the streets.  He will not break the bruised reed, nor quench the dimly burning flame.  He will encourage the fainthearted, those tempted to despair.  He will see full justice given to all who have been wronged.  He won’t be satisfied until truth and righteousness prevail throughout the earth, nor until even distant lands beyond the seas have put their trust in him” (ISAIAH 42: 1 – 4, LB)

The LORD says,

“Here is my servant, whom I strengthen- the one I have chosen, with whom I am pleased.  I have filled him with my spirit, and he will bring justice to every nation. He will not shout or raise his voice or make loud speeches in the streets.  He will not break off a bent reed nor put out a flickering lamp.  He will bring lasting justice to all.  He will not lose hope or courage; he will establish justice on the earth.  Distant lands eagerly wait for his teaching”. (ISAIAH 42: 1 – 4, GNB).

“Behold my servant, whom I uphold, My elect in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him, He will bring forth justice and right and reveal truth to the nations.  He will not cry or shout aloud or cause His voice to be heard in the street.  A bruised reed He will not break, and a dimly burning wick He will not quench; He will bring forth justice in truth.  He 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”. (ISAIAH 42:1 – 4, AMP)

A paradox indeed!

Instances abound in marriage ceremonies where He settled the dispute arising from the in-laws of the groom insisting that both the groom and the bride should drink palm wine which End Time Believers saw as an abomination that would lead one to hell fire, by drinking the palm wine Himself and saying, “Let the guilt be on Me”.

From the onset, He has been the succourer of all of us, yet He was not recognized as a Minster.

From the onset also, He has been a PARADOX!  The more you look, the less you see.  We were all watching, overwhelmed by the wisdom emanating from Him, the glorious words proceeding from His lips.  He was always proffering solution to every hard and knotty issue. Above all, the humility, simplicity, meekness and Godly sincerity in Him have never been manifested by any human being living on earth!

When Jesus finished telling these parables, he left that place and went back to His Home Town. He taught in the synagogue, and those who heard him were amazed. “Where did he get such wisdom?” They asked.“And what about His miracles? Isn’t He the Carpenter’s Son?  Isn’t Mary, His mother, and aren’t James, Joseph, Simon and Judas his brothers? Aren’t all his sisters living here? Where did he get all these?” and so they rejected Him. Jesus said to them, “A prophet is respected everywhere except in his home town and by his own family”.  Because they did not have faith, he did not perform many miracles there. (MATTHEW 13: 53 – 58 GNB)

When Jesus had finished these parables (these comparisons), He left there. And coming to his own country (Nazareth), He taught in their synagogue so that they were amazed with bewildered wonder, and said, where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers. Is not this the Carpenter’s Son?  Is not his mother called Mary?  And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?  And do not all his sisters live here among us?  Where then did this man get all these? And they took offence at Him (they were repelled and hindered from acknowledging his authority and caused to stumble).  But Jesus said to them, a prophet is not without honour except in his own country and his own house. And he did not do many works of power there, because of their unbelief (their lack of faith in the Divine Mission of Jesus). (MATTHEW 13: 53 – 58  AMP).

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. And when he was come into his country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this Wisdom, and these Mighty Works? Is not this the Carpenter’s Son? Is not his mother called Mary? And his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas. And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? And they were offended in him.  But Jesus said unto them, a prophet is not without honour save in his own country, and in his own house.  And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. (MATTHEW 13: 53 – 58 KJV).

When Jesus had finished giving these illustrations, he returned to his home town, Nazareth in Galilee, and taught there in the Synagogue and astonished everyone with his wisdom and his miracles. “How is this possible?” the people exclaimed. “He’s just a carpenter’s son, and we know Mary his mother and his brothers – James, Joseph, Simon and Judas. And his sisters – they all live here.  How can he be so great?” And they became angry with him! Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honoured everywhere except in his own country, and among his own people!” And so he did only a few great miracles there, because of their unbelief. (MATTHEW13: 53 – 58 LB)

Some of the people who lived there in Jerusalem said among themselves, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill? But here he is preaching in public and they say nothing to him.  Can it be that our leaders have learned, after all, that he really is the Messiah? But how could he be “for we know where this man was born; when Christ comes, he will just appear and no one will know where he comes from” (John 7:25-27 LB)

Then said some of them of Jerusalem, “Is not this He, Whom they seek to kill? But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth he is. (John 7:25-27 KJV)

Is He the Messiah? Some of the people of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this  the man the authorities are trying to kill? Look! He is talking in public, and they say nothing against him! Can it be that they really know that he is the Messiah? But when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from, and we all know where this man comes from”. ((John 7:25-27 GNB)

Then some of the Jerusalem people said, is not this the Man they seek to kill? And here He is speaking openly, and they say nothing to Him! Can it be possible that the rulers have discovered and know that this is truly the Christ? No, we know where this Man comes from; when the Christ arrives, no one is to know from what place He comes. (John 7:25-27 AMP)

“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and Man. (LUKE 2: 52, KJV).

“So Jesus grew both tall and wise, and was loved by God and Man. (LUKE 2: 52, LB).

“Jesus grew both in body and in wisdom, gaining favour with God and people” (Luke 2:52 GNB)

“And Jesus increased in wisdom (in broad and full understanding) and in stature and years, and in favour with God and Man. (LUKE 2: 52, AMP).

His coming into the church at Nkpor in 1990 was by audible voice He heard while at Madonna Hospital, Iboku Street, Onitsha.  He was told to go to Nkpor church when there was no church bearing that name.  What was there was the Bible Believers Assembly.  He kept the voice He heard secret and started looking for the church at Nkpor.

One day, as we were in the fellowship, there arose the question of what name the church should bear, that it would not be called Bible Believers Assemblies again. I remember I was the person that read from the Scriptures showing that what we have in the Scriptures is: Church at Ephesus; Church at Philadelphia; Church at Antioch etc, and that we should answer the Church at Nkpor since the location is Nkpor, unknown to me that the Son of Man heard the same name before then. This suggestion was not taken immediately, yet the Son of Man kept quiet over the matter, hid the name He heard.

One day, the Pastor of the Church then, Pastor Okechukwu Nwankpa, changed the name to “The Church at Nkpor” when he came back from a missionary trip from Aba. He said he preached in a bus and sat down and heard a voice.

Hear the Son of Man Himself in this narrative

“At the Deeper Life Bible Church, I was the youngest Minister in their midst, not married. They were calling me “knocking by Faith”. When the revelation came to me, I came to the General Superintendent, Pastor William Kumuyi, with it. He thought I was trying to establish a church. I said, “No, I came to you with this. This is what happened”. I showed them scripture, condemning many many things they were (and are) doing in Deeper Life Bible Church. I condemned women preaching. I condemned baptism in Trinity and established the Deity. I showed them scriptures. The thing became too much that when they could not bear it, I left them.

The thing carried me to Dr. Chinwoke Mbadinuju, a legal practitioner. I went to the Christian Centre at 4 Oguta Road, Onitsha, Anambra State, Nigeria, a non-denominational movement. I revealed the thing. Dr. Mbadinuju accepted it and then invited all the General Overseers of different churches in Onitsha and said I should come and defend it. I defended it (revelation, vision, teaching). The meeting lasted from 4.00pm to 11.30pm in the night. He took us – Bro. Mike and Myself - to my residence at Inland Town here in Onitsha, in his own car. That night, about seven (7) Pastors from different denominations in Onitsha went to the River Niger and baptised in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

So we continued. A little while, they brought, Amechi, brought Alpho, Akama. They started talking this and that. The thing became a very worrisome something in that the man, being a politician now turned to be a Christian, had money but I had nothing.

He incorporated those revelations that came to me in book form and titled it “Restoration of Apostolic Faith” and “Beyond Pentecostal Realm”. Instead of telling the whole world the source of the revelation, he said, “a brother, one brother” had a vision. At the end of the day, he would place his name on those books though he was giving out the books free of charge.

That led to his excommunication from the full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship. They now denominated the thing and labelled it Joshua Ministry. I left them for I am not called to run a Church. No! I can never be a part of any denomination. I went back to my former church. Remember, I took off with Baptist Church, First Baptist Church Iboku, Onitsha. That was where I took off. I went back there; revealed this thing to my pastor and he said I should be patient with my vision.

I said, No, I want you to see what I heard. It is contrary to what we are practicing in this Baptist Church. So the man called meetings upon meetings. Meanwhile, I have held series of meetings with Expatriates from Southern Baptist Mission America on the matter. They now pushed me to the Nigerian Baptist Convention who nominated me to travel to America for a Bible Course. That Bible course will be paid for by the Church under the Southern Baptist Mission Arrangement in America.

I processed my passport and everything. On that same day the passport got to me, I was coming back from the Church, the voice of the Lord halted me. He said, “DO NOT UNDERTAKE THIS TRIP. MY HAND IS NOT IN THIS TRIP. I HAVE ALREADY PREPARED A PLACE. IT MUST BE THE CHURCH AT NKPOR. LOOK FOR IT. THAT IS WHERE I WILL TAKE OFF. THE CHURCH AT NKPOR”.

And I did not know where the Church at Nkpor was located. I remained praying and praying and praying until one day I had another vision where two young men met me and started talking about the “faith”. While they were talking, what they were saying agreed with what I was holding but I pretended I was not believing them. At the end of the day, I followed them. I saw a little group. I narrated the thing to many people. I told my wife.

One day the vision fulfilled. At about 6.00pm in the evening, while we were there with some Christian women who said they were preaching and I was telling them to get away from me, these two men came. My neighbour who was a deacon in the Grace of God Church challenged them, even used whip on them. I took them inside my house and said “who knows?, these could be the angels I saw. I shared my views with them. I gave them appointment to come the following day. The entire yard/neighbourhood ran mad with me and my wife. I told them to get away from me because these people are holding something which is sinking well with me and that I would tell them after. They said I was deceived. I said, “yes”. I will like to be deceived. The funniest thing in them was that they were holding pamphlets and not the Word. So I used the Bible to bring them to my side. So they were astonished.

They started sharing my testimonies and that of my family before I ever appeared in their midst. For almost one year, they shared my testimony. So I over- delayed for I was trying to prove many many things and confirm my experience. So I examined the thing before I took a step. That was in the month of November, 1990. The last Sunday of the month of November 1990.

When they were having their meetings in December that year, I came with my wife. I featured two times before I came with my wife. I just thank God for everything. In the Baptist Church, because of the way they were seeing the whole thing, I left them. The Lord then sent men to me. That was how I took a leap.

The Lord equally gave me people who gave me their contact address as Bible Believers Assembly which helped me to be there. I got there the first time, then the second. I was in agreement with what they were doing but the name was not the Church at Nkpor.

The third time I got there, there was an argument among them over the name of the Church. Bro. Ojiakor was equally at the heat of the argument. He read from his Bible, Thomson’s Chain Reference Bible, advising them on what the name of the Church should be. They were having their different opinions. At the end of the day, the Pastor asked everybody to go.

Few weeks later, the Pastor travelled to Aba on missionary outing and came and then told us he had an experience but he would tell us later but meanwhile everybody should go and look for the meaning of Nkpor. He gave us two weeks. Whatever that happened to him, he kept it secret. At the end of the two weeks, we were not able to find the meaning of Nkpor. He then mounted the pulpit and narrated his experience. He told us how he preached in a bus, a luxurious bus. At the end of the preaching, he sat down and the voice told him, “MY SERVANT WHEN YOU GET BACK TO YOUR LOCAL ASSEMBLY, WRITE “THE CHURCH AT NKPOR” ON THE SIGNBOARD FOR THIS IS THE NAME OF MY CONGREGATION”. So when he came back, he first of all wrote it on the board before ever uttering the thing.

Nobody knew what was happening in Me and my wife. I pulled my wife’s leg because we were basically new. You cannot even believe what happened there .... because they had never heard, “thus saith the Lord, except that of William Marion Braham.

One night, they had their night meeting, I featured there with my wife and children. During prayer line, the Spirit lifted me high. I spoke at length and ended it with “THUS SAITH THE LORD”, condemning what they were doing. Because I condemned what they were doing, it took me time to recover from this thing. Instead of balancing it with the scripture, Okey Nwankpa and Malachi Osuagwu (late), called me to the altar to pray for me. They said they would cast out the demon. They poured olive oil on me and said I was disturbing the fellowship, that it could not be God for God cannot be on the pulpit and on the floor at the same time. I accepted it.

As we journeyed along, he became the prophet that was disorganising the fellowship, during prayer line and sometimes during preaching – a sure sign that it is not man made.

WHEREVER GOD STOPPED IS WHERE HE MUST START

Wherever God stopped, there He started. God in Jesus Christ started with attraction, Pentecostal age, gifts. These are attraction. When He opened the Word they all ran away. They left Him at the Word and they must meet Him again at the Word. So He came back and started with the Word where He stopped. If He came with attraction again, we would query it. But He came with the Word and they are running away.

In the message of William Braham “Proving His Word”, “He said, “if anybody says, he is from God, give him the Word test. It must be the Word. They must unite in the Word of God.

SOME OF HIS EARLY EXPERIENCES

While in the Deeper Life Bible Church, the Spirit was working in Him.

On 31^st December 1983, he warned his entire kindred to stop worshipping the idol they were worshipping. The people of the area would usually gather to celebrate on the 31^st of December of every year into the 1^st January of the coming year, an annual festival. The festival involved the people slaughtering chicken or goats. The people had already tethered the animals they would slaughter the following morning. He ordered them to release those animals and that if they insisted on going ahead to sacrifice, all the animals would die before day break on 1^st January of the following year.

To the surprise of everybody, all the tethered animals died the following day according to His word and the people could not use them again to sacrifice to that idol. Those people that released their animals had their animals alive.

Jesus the Christ in His earthly mission fed five thousand men excluding women and children, with five loaves of bread and two small fishes after which twelve baskets were filled with left over.

This has always been our experience during camp meetings. A typical case is the Camp Meeting of 2012 which took place from 28^th December 2012 to 1^st January 2013 – a period of five (5) days. Mid way into the meeting, the sister in charge of food stuff raised alarm before the Son of Man that the stock was almost gone - garri, rice, beans, meat, fish, palm oil etc.

The Son of Man took her along into the store and saw things for Himself. After seeing the quantity remaining which may not even last for a whole day, he ordered that the sisters cooking should keep on cooking and sharing food among the brethren and that nobody should come to Him to complain about food, meat, fish etc until the last drop of each item was used.

To the astonishment of everybody, brethren were fed for three days from that day till the end of the Camp Meeting on 1^st January in 2013.

At the end of the meeting, there was much left over - meat, vegetable oil, garri, rice, beans, yam, tomato, etc. These things were shared raw among brethren who carried them to their different locations.

In 1984, while in Deeper Life Church still, He preached at Owerri, at a newspaper stand in a place called Ama Jay Kay. He saw a number of students gathered and was moved to preach. While he was preaching under very high anointing, the students were paying attention. At a stage, they started acting funny. They started surging forward towards Him intending to push Him into a deep gutter that was behind Him. As they kept coming towards Him, He was dressing back until some of them screamed and asked Him whether He was a human being or not. He demanded to know why they asked Him that and they said that He went across a big gutter and they thought He would fall into it. He told them He walked on a slab across the gutter!

He had prayers for the blind and many of them were healed and received their sight. They attributed all to Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, the General Superintendent of Deeper Life Church.

In 1994, He had a dream where he was driving with Apostle Kelechi Uwakwe. He saw a man in ash-coloured suit in the sky. The two of them fixed their eyes on this man while the rest of the people around did not know anything about the man.

At Ngo-Okpala, he parked the vehicle and the man descended and rested on Him, sending cold shivers on Him. When this happened, his strength was gone. Apostle Kelechi wanted to pray for Him but he consented not and told him he would be alright. Apostle Kelechi then held Him and He regained His strength and continued to drive. The dream left Him.

In 1993, the Holy Ghost (Apostle Peter Odoemena) told us that the Bride would speak something into existence for her to know that the Bridegroom is on the land. He said the prophet William Braham spoke a squirrel into existence but this time, it is not the ministry of the squirrel but of the dove.

Then in 1994, while the Son of Man was about to reveal the mystery of the seven Thunders and the mystery of the seven seals, something happened in His office at the Federal Ministry of Employment, Labour and Productivity, Onitsha. While in the office, He was just speaking and explaining a little to His wife before the main exposition or teaching, the voice went forth from him, “See the dove!” Lo and behold a giant dove appeared into His office. The dove was held and even taken to His residence very close to His office.

Many people saw the dove which felt very comfortable in the hands of the Son of Man and refused to go. When the Son of Man threw her up into the sky, she flew up and came back to His hand.

She finally flew away late that evening only by the spoken word when the Son of Man ordered her thus, “My Friend, you can go”, she then flew away.

It is worthy of note that before this incident, Bishop Obadiah of the Household of God at Aba in Abia State, had a dream where the Son of Man was explaining to us that the dove in His hand and the one in heaven were the same.

In 1994, He came to Eha-Amufu, a town in Enugu State. He came alone without any other minister. He came in a public conveyance. The Holy Ghost was sore grieved by the attitude of the brethren at Onitsha towards Him. He ran to Eha-Amufu to have some rest

At the end of the ministration, we the brethren at Eha-Amufu became sorrowful over what happened at Onitsha and equally lost the vision of what we ought to do, instead of taking Him down to Onitsha in our own vehicle, we allowed Him to go back in a public conveyance the way He came.

We arranged for a commercial motorcycle to take the Son of Man to Nkalagu Junction from where he would board a vehicle to Onitsha. It was a Sunday morning and it was a cloudy weather.

The commercial motorcycle got spoilt along the way leading to Nkalagu junction. The road was lonely and terribly bad. There was no human being in sight. The Son of Man had to trek and he did! While trekking, he came to one of the hanging bridges which had wooden planks as its floor. The planks were broken with wide openings. The Son of Man was so much aggrieved that he decided to stop his life. He felt the easiest way to do it was by jumping into the river and getting drowned. He therefore separated the wooden planks on the bridge to create a big enough hole to slide through into the water.

Immediately, he closed his eyes and slid through the hole into the river, he found himself at Nkalagu Junction and not drowned in the river! A vehicle pulled up and he entered. The next thing he saw was the Fellowship Hall at GTC Onitsha. He met the brethren in the fellowship that morning. He left Eha-Amufu at about 9.00am and got to fellowship at about 9:30am – the thirty minutes were used by the motorcyclist from Eha-Amufu to where the motor cycle spoiled.

Naturally, from Eha-Amufu to Onitsha takes about four hours. So, the Son of Man was caught away by the Spirit of the Lord as recorded in the scriptures:

And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. (Acts 8:39-40 KJV)

When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away. The eunuch never saw him again but went on his way rejoicing. Meanwhile, Philip found Himself farthest north at the town of Azotus. He preached the Goodnews there and in every town along the way until he came to Caesarea. (Acts 8:39-40 LB)

And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord [suddenly] caught away Philip and the eunuch saw him no more, and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found in Azotus and passing on he preached the goodnews (Gospel) to the town until he reached Caesarea. (Acts 8:39-40 AMP)

When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away. The official did not see him again, but continued on his way, full of joy. Philip found himself in Azotus; he went on to Caesarea, and on the way he preached the Good News in every town. (ACTS 8:39-40 GNB)

And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy  servant fear the lord from my youth. (1 KINGS 18:12 KJV)

But as soon as I leave you, the Spirit of the Lord will carry you away to who knows where. When Ahab comes and cannot find you, he will kill me. Yet I have been a true servant of the Lord all my life. (I Kings 18: 12 LB)

And as soon as I have gone out from you, the Spirit of the LORD will carry you I know not where; so when I come and tell Ahab and he cannot find you, he will kill me, But I your servant have feared and revered the Lord from my youth. (1 KINGS 18:12 AMP)

What if the spirit of the LORD carries you off to some unknown place as soon as I leave? Then, when I tell Ahab that you are here and he can't find you, he will put me to death. Remember that I have been a devout worshiper of the lord ever since 1 was a boy, (1 KINGS 18:12 GNB)

Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the lord from his place,  So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me. (EZEKIEL 3:12,14 KJV)

Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a loud rumbling sound behind me, (May the glory of the lord be praised in his place!) The Spirit lifted me up and took me away. I went in bitterness   and   turmoil   but   the LORD's   hold   on   me   was strong, Then I came to the colony of Judean exiles in Tel-abib, beside the Kebar River. I was overwhelmed and sat among them for seven days. (EZIKIEL 3:12,14 LB)

Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing [saying], Blessed be the glory of the Lord from His place [above the firmament]. So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away [in the vision], and I went in bitterness [of discouragement] in the heat of my spirit; and the hand of the Lord was strong upon me. (EZIKIEL 3:12,14 AMP)

Then God's spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the loud roar of a voice that said, "Praise the glory of the lord in heaven above!". The power of the lord came on me with great force, and as his spirit carried me off, I felt bitter and angry. (EZIKIEL 3:12,14 GNB)

Of a truth, we found ourselves in the Acts of the Holy Spirit with the Son of Man coming into our midst.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

CHAPTER FOUR

HISTORY OF THE FAITH. DEC. 30, 1992.

^“Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. And Nathanael saith unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see” (John 1:45-46, KJV).

^“Philip now went off to look for Nathanael and told him, “We have found the Messiah!—the very person Moses and the prophets told about! His name is Jesus, the son of Joseph from Nazareth!”  “Nazareth!” exclaimed Nathanael. “Can anything good come from there? “Just come and see for yourself,” Philip declared” (John 1: 45-46, LB).

 ^“Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one whom Moses wrote about in the book of the Law and whom the prophets also wrote about. He is Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.” “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” answered Philip” (John 1:45-46, GNB)

 ^“Philip sought and found Nathanael and told him, We have found (discovered) the One Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote about - Jesus from Nazareth, the [legal] son of Joseph! Nathanael answered him, [Nazareth!] Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip replied, Come and see! (John 1:45-46, AMP).

In every dispensation, God has always manifested Himself as a human being to save His elect of that dispensation from their woes and impending doom. God has always done that as a saviour, as the kinsman Redeemer taking the form of the people He has come to save, guiding them back to God, revealing the mind of God to them. He has always been a God man.

“You are My witnesses, says the Lord, and My servant whom I have chosen, that you may know Me, believe Me and remain steadfast to Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no Saviour. (Isaiah 43:10-11, AMP)

“Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour. (Isaiah 43: 10-11, KJV).

 ^“But I have witnesses, O Israel, says the Lord! You are my witnesses and my servants, chosen to know and to believe me and to understand that I alone am God. There is no other God; there never was and never will be. I am the Lord, and there is no other Saviour” (Isaiah 43: 10-11, LB)

When Israel was very much distressed in Egypt in the hands of their taskmasters, Almighty God came down and delivered them in the person of Moses.

And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, here am I.  Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God. And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. (Exodus 3:4, 6-8, 10, KJV)

“He went over to investigate. Then God called out to him, “Moses! Moses!” “Who is it?” Moses asked.  I am the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” (Moses covered his face with his hands, for he was afraid to look at God). Then the Lord told him, “I have seen the deep sorrows of my people in Egypt and have heard their pleas for freedom from their harsh taskmasters.  I have come to deliver them from the Egyptians and to take them out of Egypt into a good land, a large land, a land ‘flowing with milk and honey’—the land where the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites live.  Now I am going to send you to Pharaoh, to demand that he let you lead my people out of Egypt.”(Exodus 3:4, 6-8, 10, LB)

Since the Laodicean Age when the church went into organized religion, a form, and decreed Christ out of the church with manmade traditions and dogmas, Christ has remained outside, until the Seventh Angel Messenger to Laodicean Church Age, William Marion Branham came. He is the prophet of Malachi 4:5-6: that foreran the coming Word (Christ).

“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. (Malachi 4:5 and 6, KJV).

“See, I will send you another prophet like Elijah before the coming of the great and dreadful judgment day of God. His preaching will bring fathers and children together again, to be of one mind and heart, for they will know that if they do not repent, I will come and utterly destroy their land.” (Malachi 4:5 and 6, LB).

The audible voice that came to the prophet, William Marion Branham on 11^th June, 1933, went thus:

“As John The Baptist Was Sent To Forerun The First Coming of Christ; So is your message To Forerun the Second Coming of Christ”.

The prophet prophesied that there was a ministry coming which was the ministry of the Word and it would be a man.

God was veiled in a man, they couldn’t understand that God was veiled in a man as he always has been; He was in a human temple. Now, be real careful. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. God veiled, hiding himself from the world, veiled in a human being …. The Greeks could not see him because he was hid from them in a human. God veiled in the form of a man, hiding himself from their view. They could only see a man, but the predestined ones saw God, one saw a man, the other saw God. It was God veiled in human being.  Both of them were right, but your faith is that which you can’t see but believe anyway. He was in that flesh and that flesh was the  veil. (Unveiling of God, 1964, pp. 15).

For all that’s left now, Christ is our Moses, He was veiled in human flesh and he is the same yesterday, today and forever. He was veiled in the tabernacle by badger skin and this time, he is veiled in a man. He is still Christ the promised word for this age, veiled in human flesh. The word is God, the anointing is a person. Therefore, Moses was Christ for his day, for he was the redeemer, anointed one. The promised word for this age must also be veiled. Sin loving members (unbelievers) of the church cannot see it because of the human veil (Unveiling of God, 1964,pp.27).

The SON OF MAN has already come from glory and is revealing himself for the past few years to his church in mercy, showing them his great presence, doing the same thing when he was here on earth. Revealing himself like he did to Abraham before the destructions. He has come down in mercy, revealing himself to the church. It is being laughed at and scoffed at. The next thing he is revealing himself in judgement of the world and nations that forget God and sinned away their day of grace. (Will the Church go Through the Tribulations? 01/09/58).

Now, I want you to know this is sure. And you that listen to this tape, you might have thought today that I was trying to say that about myself being that I was packing this message. I have no more to do with that nothing, no more than just a voice, and my voice, even against my better judgement…. I wanted to be a trapper. But it’s the will of my father that I declare to do, and am determined to do. I wasn’t one that appeared down on the river. I was only standing there when He appeared. I am not the one that performs these things and foretells these things that happen as perfect as they are. I’m only one that’s near when he does it. I was only a ‘VOICE’ that he used to say it. It wasn’t what I knew, it’s what I just surrendered myself to. That he spoke through. It isn’t me. It wasn’t the seventh angel, oh no. It was a manifestation of the SON OF MAN. It wasn’t the angel. His message: it was the mystery that God unfolded. It’s not a man. It’s God. The angel was not the Son of Man, he (angel) was a messenger from the SON OF MAN. THE SON OF MAN IS CHRIST. He is the one you are feeding on. You are not feeding on a man. A man, his words will fail, but you are feeding on the unfailing body word of the SON OF MAN. (The Anointed Ones at the End Time July 7, 1965, Jefferson Villa, Indiana, USA pp. 63, paragraph 269).

I believe the church is standing on the threshold of the greatest vindication of omnipresence that the world has ever known. (Five Junctions of Time, 22/1/56)17. “God reveals himself to an individual and quickly He becomes DEITY in the inside of him”. (Come Hither Quickly).

“The Son of Man will be revealed in a body of flesh, you people, the church, just exactly like it was before the days of Sodom, a called out group away from all of them, setting out, believing the promise of God”. (Work is faith Expressed, pp. 44, 26/11/65).

There is one little sheep out there somewhere and he will not be satisfied until that one comes in the fold. By the help of God and by a vision, and thus saith the Lord, I am returning across the sea. THAT LAST LITTLE SHEEP MAY BE A BLACK ONE, down there, for all that I know… WHERE THEY DON’T EVEN THINK THEY HAVE A SOUL, BUT GOD KNOWS DIFFERENT. (The Ester Seal, pp. 40, 4/10/65, Phoenix Arizona).

We were sincerely praying for God’s visitation and in December, 1992, the church scheduled 7 days revival meeting, starting from 24^th December to 30^th December, 1992.

Then on 30^th December 1992, the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena whose ministry and mission were still unknown, preached the message, “HOLY GHOST AND NECESSITY FOR HOLY GHOST BAPTISM” before many witnesses, we saw the power of God restoring the church back to Pentecost; God came down with many supernatural manifestations when the pillar of fire first manifested in our midst.

There were diverse manifestations of the power of God — hearts were discerned and the secrets brought to light, national confessions were made, breaking of curses and deliverances, all took place.

The fear of God came back into the camp. It was clear to us that a vindicated Apostle was in our midst. Among the many visions received that day was the vision of the Sword of the Spirit with the word, “Truth” engraved on it with the scripture 1Thessalonians 2:4-5.

“But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts. For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness: (1 Thess 2:4-5, KJV)

 ^“For we speak as messengers from God, trusted by him to tell the truth; we change his message not one bit to suit the taste of those who hear it; for we serve God alone, who examines our hearts’ deepest thoughts. Never once did we try to win you with flattery, as you very well know, and God knows we were not just pretending to be your friends so that you would give us money! (1 Thess 2:4-5, LB)

On 2^nd march 1993, the church had her normal fellowship and the message preached that day was, “GOD REBUKES NKPOR CHURCH”. That day the tape ministry was instituted. This message was handed down by the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena.

The church was asked to come back the following day to receive her message and that message was “mixed multitude” message which has parts I, II, III preached  on 3^rd, 5^th and 7^th March respectively.

3^RD MARCH 1993 — ALMIGHTY GOD COMMISSIONED HIS SERVANT AMONG MANY WITHNESSES. 

A notable thing that took place that day was the commissioning of the servant and Apostle of God, Apostle Peter Odoemena in the following words:

“I have anointed you with my spirit; I have anointed you with my power; speak my Word; fear them not for I am with you. I have anointed you with my anointing; speak my word for I have promised to be with you, I have anointed you with my unction. Yes the Lord of Hosts has promised. It is my word among my people, it is my word among my people for it is my power; it is my word among my people for it is my power. Yes, when they shall come into my sanctuary and they shall see my power among my people, Shall my word fail?  Ask the Lord of hosts. Shall my word fail? Says the voice of the living God.  Shall my word fail when I send it among my people? I say my word cannot fail. For when you shall prophesy among my camp and they ask: how could you know it is the Lord? Now watch for a sign that the spirit of the living God is among you. It is unfailing sign that this tabernacle that is called by my name; I shall not depart from among you. I have promised you: I have decided I will not leave you alone”

(Prophecy by Pastor Okechukwu Nwankpa).

CHRIST IS THE POWER OF GOD

Before anything else existed, there was Christ with God, He has always been alive and is Himself God. But although he made the world, the world didn’t recognize him when he came. And Christ became a human being and lived here on earth among us and was full of loving forgiveness and truth. And some of us have seen his glory—the glory of the only Son of the heavenly father. (John 1:1, 10, 14. LB)

Christ himself is the creator who made everything in heaven and earth, the things we can see and the things we can’t, the spirit world with its kings and kingdoms, its rulers and authorities; all were made by Christ for his own use and glory.(Colossians 1:16, LB).

Christ was alive when the world began, yet I myself have seen him with my own eyes and listened to him speak. I have touched him with my own hands. He is God’s message of life. This one who is life from God has been shown to us, and we guarantee that we have seen him; I am speaking of Christ, who is eternal life. (1 John 1:1-2, LB).

   The scripture says,

“ How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with Holy Ghost and with power; who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him“ (Acts 10:48, KJV). 

It became clear we were ushered into a genuine apostolic ministry- a completely new and different ministry from what we were holding!

SOME EARLY MISSIONARY TRIPS

From that day, the Apostle, Son of Man was commissioned by audible voice, we saw Him embarking on missionary trips to places where nothing was known about the true Apostolic Ministry, establishing and confirming local assemblies. This took Him to remote areas in Nigeria: Eha-Amufu in Enugu State, Isiala-Ngwa in Abia State, Ohuba/ Obosima in Imo State, Jos and Dadinkowa in Plateau State, Zonkwua and Godogodo in Kaduna State; Enugu Ezike, Opi, Nsukka and Enugu, all in Enugu State; Owerri, Umuokanne, and UmuorjiEgbema, all in Imo State etc. All these places were virgin lands. Hear His words “I do not want to build upon another man’s foundation”.

Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation: (Romans 15:19-20, KJV)

[Even as my preaching has been accompanied] with the power of signs and wonders, [and all of it] by the power of the Holy Spirit. [The result is] that starting from Jerusalem and as far round as Illyricum, I have fully preached the Gospel [faithfully executing, accomplishing, carrying out to the full the good news] of Christ (the Messiah) in its entirety. Thus my ambition has been to preach the Gospel, not where Christ's name has already been known, lest I build on another man's foundation; (Romans 15:19-20, AMP)

I have won them over by the miracles done through me as signs from God-- all by the power of God's Spirit. In this way, I have fully presented the Good News of Christ all the way from Jerusalem clear over into Illyricum. My ambition has always been to preach the Good News where the name of Christ has never been heard, rather than where a church has already been started by someone else. (Romans 15:19-20, LB).

“By the power of miracles and wonders, and by the power of the spirit of God. And so, in travailing all the way from Jerusalem to Illyricum, I have proclaimed fully the Good News about Christ. My ambition has always been to proclaim the Good News in places where Christ has not been heard of, so as not to build on a foundation laid by someone else. (Romans 15:19-20, GNB).

On 22^nd June, 1994, during the wedding of Bishop Ifeanyi Eze at the Federal College of Education, Eha-Amufu, my daughter, Amamihechineke Ojiakor, died and was brought back to life by the Son of Man. She is currently a fifth year Medical student at the College of Medicine, University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus.

In 1994, the Son of Man touched on the seventh seal, scratched The Seal ‘without’ a little and spoke a dove into existence for His ministry is the ministry of the dove. The dove has no gall.

In December 1995, camp meeting during prayer line, in the night, there was a supernatural illumination of the entire hall. This electrifying illumination quenched all electricity gadgets we were using and as the Son of Man lifted His hands intending to give God praise, the voice roared: “Thus, it behoveth the Son of Man to fulfill all righteousness”. This thing happened when we never knew anything about the “Son of Man”. That was how the name “Son of Man” came; God gradually revealing Himself in this Badger Skin.

And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him. (Mathew 3:15, KJV).

In 1996, he taught us on “Mask and Masquerade”, He said, the man in the mask is what makes it a masquerade. The mask simply covers the Being in the masquerade.

On 31^st March 1996, during prayer line when everybody had his/her eyes closed and everywhere was quiet, we heard the footsteps of a BEING matching in the congregation. The Son of Man was on the pulpit leading the prayer session. And we were hearing the footstep as the Son of man was telling us where He was at each point in time. He announced to us that the Owner of the Church was moving in the camp, admiring the camp. All that sat close to the aisle felt the movement of the BEING across them.

  

On 24^th March 1994, the voice went forth from the Son of Man: “I will declare, I will declare, I will declare. They will believe, they will believe, I have taught them, I have taught them”. This came confirming the declaration of the whole truth that was about to be unfolded by the Son of Man, truth that resemble a lie.

On 31^st March, 1996, He then told us to come here on 7^th April 1996 to see, “He that has been leading us - He that is in the masquerade”. HE TOLD US TO COME WITH OUR CAMERAS. When the films were developed, we saw the Pillar of cloud, Thick Darkness, Ball of fire encircling His vessel (The Tabernacle - The Son of Man) in form of a rainbow, fulfilling the scripture: “The Tabernacle of God is among men”. This is the tabernacle not made with human hands. The Elohim dwells in that tabernacle even without measure.

“For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. (John 3:34, KJV)

“For he is sent by God. He speaks God's words, for God's Spirit is upon him without measure or limit. (John 3:34, LB).

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. (Revelation 21:3, KJV).

And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD talked with Moses. And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door. (Exodus 33:9-10 KJV).

“When Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the door of the tent, and the Lord would talk with Moses. And all the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the tent door, and all the people rose up and worshipped everyman at his tent door. (Exodus 33:9-10, AMP)

“As he went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and hover at the entrance while the LORD spoke with Moses. Then all the people would stand and bow low at their tent entrances. (Exodus 33:9-10, LB).

“After Moses had gone in, the pillar of cloud would come down and stay at the door of the tent, and the Lord would speak to Moses from the cloud. As soon as the people saw the pillar of cloud at the door of the tent, they would bow down. (Exodus 33:9-10, GNB).

“I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. (Daniel 7:13-14, KJV).

“I saw in the night visions, and behold, on the clouds of the heavens came One like a Son of man, and He came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him. And there was given Him [the Messiah] dominion and glory and kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away, and His kingdom is one which shall not be destroyed. (Daniel 7:13-14, AMP).

“I watched as thrones were put in place and the Ancient One sat down to judge. His clothing was as white as snow, his hair like whitest wool. He sat on a fiery throne with wheels of blazing fire, and a river of fire flowed from his presence. Millions of angels ministered to him, and a hundred million stood to attend him. Then the court began its session, and the books were opened. (Daniel 7:9-10).

“During this vision in the night, I saw what looked like a human being. He was approaching me, surrounded by clouds, and he went to the one who had been living forever and was presented to him. He was given authority, honour, and royal power, so that the people of all nations, races, and languages would serve him. His authority would last forever, and his kingdom would never end. (Daniel 7:13-14, GNB).

“Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. (1 Kings 8:12, KJV).

“Then Solomon said, The Lord said that He would dwell in the thick darkness. (1 Kings 8:12, AMP).

“Now king Solomon prayed this invocation: the LORD has said that He would live in the thick darkness. (1 Kings 8:12, LB).

“Then Solomon prayed, “You, Lord, have placed the sun in the sky, yet you have chosen to live in clouds and darkness. (1 Kings 8:12, GNB).

“And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. (Luke 21:27, KJV).

“And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great (transcendent and overwhelming) power and [all His kingly] glory (majesty and splendor). (Luke 21:27, AMP).

Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. (Luke 21:27, LB).

“Then the Son of Man will appear, coming in a cloud with great power and glory. (Luke 21:27, GNB).

“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. (Revelation 10:1-3, KJV).

“THEN I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, robed in a cloud, with a [halo like a] rainbow over his head; his face was like the sun, and his feet (legs) were like columns of fire. He had a little book (scroll) open in his hand. He set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, And he shouted with a loud voice like the roaring of a lion; and when he had shouted, the seven thunders gave voice and uttered their message in distinct words. (Revelation 10:1-3, AMP).

Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, surrounded by a cloud, with a rainbow over his head. His face shone like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire. And in his hand was a small scroll, which he had unrolled. He stood with his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land. And he gave a great shout, like the roar of a lion. And when he shouted, the seven thunders answered. (Revelation 10:1-3, LB).

“Then I saw another mighty angel coming down out of heaven. He was wrapped in a cloud and had a rainbow around his head; his face was like a sun, and his legs were like columes of fire. He had a small scroll open in his hand. He put his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, and called out in a loud voice that sounded like the roar of lions. After he had called out, the seven thunders answered with a roar. (Revelation 10:1-3, GNB).

“Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. (Mathew 26:64, KJV).

“Jesus said to him, You have stated [the fact]. More than that, I tell you: You will in the future see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Almighty and coming on the clouds of the sky. (Mathew 26:64, AMP).

“Jesus answered him, “So you say. But I tell you: from this time on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right side of the Almighty and coming on the clouds of heaven!” (Mathew 26:64, GNB).

“The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. (Psalm 97:1-2, KJV)

“THE LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles and coastlands be glad! Clouds and darkness are round about Him [as at Sinai]; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. (Psalm 97:1-2, AMP).

“Jehovah is King! Let all the earth rejoice! Tell the farthest islands to be glad. Clouds and darkness surround him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. (Psalm 97:1-2, GNB).

“The LORD is king! Let the earth rejoice! Let the farthest islands be glad. Clouds and darkness surround him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. (Psalm 97:1-2, LB).

From the above scriptures, it is clear that the thick darkness, cloud and rainbow, all reveal God. With Moses, each time Moses appeared, the cloud would appear. In other words, Moses was the terbanacle of the cloud. Without Moses, no cloud. The cloud is the presence of God and cannot be impersonated. So the Son of Man has appeared and we have seen the Supernatural cloud surrounding Him! THIS IS INDEED ALMIGHTY GOD IN HUMAN FORM. Believe it if you can.

THIS IS A SURE SIGN THAT GOD IS A MAN!!!

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. (Heb. 13:8 KJV)

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. (Heb. 13:8 LB)

Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is (always) the same, yesterday, today (yes) and forever (to the ages). (Heb. 13:8 AMP).

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. (Heb. 13:8 GNB).

I know that, whatsoever  God doeth, it shall be forever: nothing can be put  to it, nor anything taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before Him. That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. (Ecclesiastes 3:14-15 KJV).

And I know this, that whatever God does is final – nothing can be added or taken from it; God’s purpose in this is that man should fear the all-powerful God. Whatever is has been long ago; and whatever is going to be has been before; God brings to pass again what was in the distant past and disappeared. (Ecclesiastes 3:14-15 LB).

I know that whatever God does, it endures forever; nothing can be added to it nor anything taken from it. And God  does it so that men will (reverently) fear Him (revere and worship Him, knowing that He is). That which is now already has been, and that which is to be already has been; and God seeks that which has passed by (so that history repeats itself). (Ecclesiastes 3:14-15 AMP).

I know that everything God does will last forever. You can’t add anything to it or take anything away from it. And one thing God does is to make us stand in awe of Him. Whatever happens or can happen has already happened before. God makes the same thing happen again and again. (Ecclesiastes 3:14-15 GNB).

So the scriptures bear eloquent witness that God has been manifesting the same way all through the ages. HE IS THE SAME. HIS CHARACTER THE SAME!

See what is documented in the Archaeological Parchments and the Talmud of the Sanhedrin on this matter.

“Another plan he has of setting men right with the laws of nature. He turns nature into a great law book of illustrations, showing that every bush was a flame, every rock a fountain of water, every star a pillar of fire, and every cloud the one that leads to God”—

(The archeological and the historical writings of the Sanhedrin and Talmud of the Jews. Translated from the ancient parchments and scrolls at Constantinople and the Vatican at Rome.Pages 55-56.”)

In March 1998, we were ushered into the grace of God. The voice of the Son of Man went forth, thus:

“From now you will hear truth that resembles a lie”. He said, it was going to be a war between bench rabbis and Truth - A war of the Word. Truth, of course, prevailed!

On 8^th April 2012, the Son of Man, during a thanksgiving service was photographed by a bishop in the church, Bishop Moses Chukwuemeka, who used his handset to take the photograph. Lo and behold, what was seen was the Headstone in fullness. We rejoiced because that fulfilled the voice of the Son of Man that went forth many years ago at the inception of the ministry. The voice said, “I will preach down the headstone.”

Who art thou, O great mountain?  Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. (Zach 4:7, KJV).

Nothing, not even a mighty mountain, will stand in Zerubbabel's way; it will flatten out before him! Then Zerubbabel will set the final stone of the Temple in place, and the people will shout: 'May God bless it! May God bless it!'" (Zach 4:7, LB).

On the 18^th of August, 2012, the Son of Man told some elders to be early to fellowship the following day, Sunday, 19^th August 2012 and that He Himself would be very early to fellowship to enable Him look into some delicate cases that might rock the Faith if not properly handled.

When on 19^th August 2012, some of the elders came very early as instructed. One of them, a teacher of the word of God, Brother Amankem, used his mobile phone to take the photograph of the beautifully decorated altar. When he looked at what he captured, lo and behold, it was the ORIGINAL BODY OF THE DEITY, THE ELOHIM, having the stature of the Son of Man standing by the pulpit, with his hands resting on the pulpit, in immaculate white. THE THEOPHANY BODY!

Many, many supernatural manifestations of the presence of God have been witnessed in the Son of Man all these years and there is no way they can be exhausted!

“And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. (John 20:30-31, KJV)

“Jesus’ disciples saw him do many other miracles besides the ones told about in this book, but these are recorded so that you will believe that he is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that believing in him you will have life. (John 20:30-31, LB).

 ^“There are also many other signs and miracles which Jesus performed in the presence of the disciples which are not written in this book. But these are written (recorded) in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of God, and that through believing and cleaving to and trusting and relying upon Him you may have life through (in) His name [through Who He is]. John 20:30-31, AMP).

In his disciples' presence Jesus performed many other miracles which are not written down in this book.  But these have been written in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through your faith in him you may have life. (John 20:30-31, GNB)

 CHAPTER FIVE

THE SCRIPTURAL COMMISSION OF A MAN OF GOD REVEALS WHO HE IS.

The scriptural commission of a servant of God automatically shows who he is, tells the whole world who he is. In other words, from the scriptural commission of a man of God, you can give him a name. If one comes with a scriptural commission as recorded in Isaiah chapter 14 verse 12, surely we will know he is Lucifer. If one comes with a scriptural commission like the one recorded in Ezekiel chapter 28 verse 19, automatically, we know he is Lucifer. We know that Judas had a scriptural commission, and if anyone should appear on the scene today having scriptural commission like that of Judas, surely we will give him a name. We will know he is Judas incarnate.

PROPHET WILLIAM BRANHAM SAID THAT SPIRIT DOES NOT DIE, RATHER SPIRIT INCARNATES AND REINCARNATES. HE SAID JEZEBEL DIED, BUT THE SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL IS STILL AT WORK. IN OTHER WORDS, HUMAN BEINGS ARE JEZEBEL INCARNATE. AS LONG AS A SPIRIT DOES NOT DIE, REINCARNATION IS A REALITY. JUDAS DIED AS A MAN, BUT JUDAS IS VERY MUCH ALIVE IN OUR MIDST AND IN THE WORLD TODAY. CAIN DIED LONG, LONG TIME AGO, BUT CAIN IS VERY MUCH ALIVE AND IN THE WORLD TODAY. BY THE CHARCTERISTICS OF THE PEOPLE, WE CAN NOW GIVE THEM A NAME. From your character, we will go back to the scriptures and know whose character you are depicting. - SON OF MAN (CHRIST IS REVEALED IN HUMAN FORM NOT TO THE WORLD BUT TO THE TRUE ELECT PAGE 35:7-12)

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. (PSALMS 41:9 KJV)

Even my best friend has turned against me - A man I completely trusted; how often we ate together. (PSALMS 41:9 LB)

Even my own familiar friend, (relied on and was confident), who ate of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me, (PSALMS 41:9 AMP)

Even my best friend, the one I trusted most, the one who shared my food, has turned against me. (PSALMS 41:9 GNB)

Let their habitation be desolate;  and let none dwell in their tents. (PSALM 69:25 KJV)

May their homes become desolate and their tents be deserted. (PSALM  69:25 LB)

Let their habitation and encampment be desolate; let no one dwell in their tents. (PSALM 69:25 AMP)

May their camps be left deserted; may no one be left alive in their tents. (PSALM 69:25 GNB)

Let his days be few;  and let another take his office. (PSALM 109:8 KJV)

Let his years be few; let his position be given to someone else. (PSALM 109:8 LB)

Let his days be few; and let another take his office and charge (PSALM 109:8 AMP)

May his life soon be ended; may someone else take his job! (Psalm 109:8 GNB)

And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,) Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein:  and his bishopric let another take. (ACTS 1:15-16,20 KJV)

During this time, on a day when about 120 believers were present, Peter stood up and addressed them as follows: "Brothers, it was necessary for the Scriptures to be fulfilled concerning Judas, who guided the Temple police to arrest Jesus. This was predicted long ago by the Holy Spirit, speaking through King David. Peter continued, "This was predicted in the book of Psalms, where it says, 'Let his home become desolate, with no one living in it.' And again, 'Let his position be given to someone else.' (ACTS 1:15-16, 20 LB)

Now on one of those days, Peter arose among the brethren, the whole number of whom gathered together was about a hundred and twenty. Brethren he said, it was necessary that the scripture be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold by the spirit of David, about Judas who acted as guide to those who arrested Jesus. For in the book of psalms it is written, let his place of residence become deserted and gloomy and let there be no one to live in it; and again let another take his position or overseership. (ACTS 1:15-16, 20 AMP)

A few days later, there was a meeting of the believers, about 120 in all, and Peter stood up to speak. My fellow believers; he said, the scripture had to come through in which the Holy Spirit speaking through David, made a prediction about Judas, who was the guide for those who arrested Jesus. For it is written in the book of psalms: may his house become empty, may no one live in it. It is also written, may someone else take his place of service. (ACTS 1:15-16, 20 GNB)

In the scriptures quoted above, there is no name attached. When the man Judas came on the scene and fulfilled these scriptures, it became clear Judas was the one spoken of. So anybody fulfilling the same scripture today is automatically Judas. In other words, a prophecy can be fulfilled in more than one person.

The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. (DEUTERONOMY 18:15, 18-19 KJV)

"The LORD  your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your fellow Israelites, and you must listen to that prophet. I will raise up a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites. I will tell that prophet what to say, and he will tell the people everything I command him. I will personally deal with anyone who will not listen to the messages the prophet proclaims on my behalf.  (DEUTERONOMY 18:15, 18-19 LB)

The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet from the midst of your brethren like me; to him you shall listen. I will raise up for them a prophet from among brethren like you, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak them, all that I command him. And whoever shall not hearken to my words which he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him. (DEUTERONOMY 18:15, 18-19 AMP)

Instead, he will send you a prophet like me from among your own people and you shall obey him. I will send them a prophet like you from among their own people. I will tell him what to say, and he will tell the people everything I command. He will speak in my name and I will punish anyone who refuses to obey him. (DEUTERONOMY 18:15, 18-19 GNB)

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:  and the government shall be upon his shoulder:  and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (ISAIAH 9:6 KJV)

For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. And the government will rest on his shoulders. These will be his royal titles: Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. (ISAIAH 9:6 LB)

For to us, a child is born; a child is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, everlasting Father of eternity, prince of peace. (ISAIAH 9:6 AMP)

A child is born to us, a son is given and he shall be our ruler. He will be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Almighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of peace. (ISAIAH 9:6 GNB)

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. (ISAIAH 7:14 KJV)

All right then, the Lord himself will choose the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (meaning, 'God is with us’). (ISAIAH 7:14 LB)

Therefore the lord himself shall give you a sign: behold the young woman, who is unmarried and a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name, Emmanuel. (God with us) (ISAIAH 7:14 AMP)

Well then, the Lord himself will give you a sign, a young woman who is pregnant, shall give birth to a son and will name him Emmanuel. (ISAIAH 7:14 GNB)

For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me;  him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. (ACTS 3:22 KJV)

Moses said, 'The Lord your God will raise up a Prophet like me from among your own people. Listen carefully to everything he tells you.' (ACTS 3:22 LB)

Thus Moses said to the fore fathers, the Lord God will raise up for you a prophet from among your brethren as (He raised up) me; Him you shall listen to and understand by hearing and heed in all things whatever he tells you. (ACTS 3:22 AMP)

For Moses said, “the Lord your God will send you a prophet just as he sent me and he will be of your own people. You are to obey everything that he tells you to do. (ACTS 3:22 GNB)

This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me;  him shall ye hear. (ACTS 7:37 KJV)

"Moses himself told the people of Israel, 'God will raise up a Prophet like me from among your own people.' (ACTS 7:37 LB)

It was this (very) Moses who said to the children of Israel, God will raise up for you a Prophet from among your brethren as He raised me up. (ACTS 7:37 AMP)

Moses is the one who said to the people of Israel, ‘God will send you a prophet, just as He sent me and he will be one of your own people’. (ACTS 7:37 GNB)

The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek;  he hath sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God;  to comfort all that mourn; (ISAIAH 61:1-2 KJV)

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has appointed me to bring good news to the suffering and afflicted. He has sent me to comfort the broken hearted, to announce to captives, and to open the eyes of the blind. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of God's favour to them has come, and the day of his wrath to their enemies. (ISAIAH 61:1-2 LB)

The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the (physical and spiritual) captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord (the year of his favour) and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, (ISAIAH 61:1-2 AMP)

The sovereign God has filled me with his Spirit. He has chosen me and sent me to bring goodnews to the poor, to heal the broken hearted, to announce release to the captives, and freedom to those in prison. (ISAIAH 61:1-2 GNB)

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.  And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down.   And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, this day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. (LUKE 4:18-21 KJV)

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has appointed me to preach Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see; that the downtrodden will be freed from their oppressors and that the time of the Lord's favour has come. "He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down. Everyone in the synagogue stared at him intently. Then he said, "This Scripture has come true today before your very eyes!" (LUKE 4:18-21 LB)

The spirit of the Lord (is) upon me, because he has anointed me (the Anointed One, the Messiah) to preach the good news (the Gospel) to the poor; he has sent me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed, (who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity) to proclaim the accepted and acceptable year of the Lord (the day when salvation and the free favors of God profusely abound). Then he rolled up the book and gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing (attentively) at him. And he began to speak to them: Today this scripture has been fulfilled while you are present and hearing. (LUKE 4:18-21 AMP)

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has chosen me to bring goodnews to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind and to set free the oppressed, and announce that the time has come when the Lord shall save His people. Jesus rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. All the people in the synagogue had fixed eyes on Him, as He said to them, this passage of the scripture has come true today as you heard it being read. (LUKE 4:18-21 GNB)

The above scriptures are some of many scriptures about the man Jesus. When Jesus came and fulfilled all, it became clear He was the Christ, the prophet, the Messiah.

The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did:  is not this the Christ? (JOHN 4:28-29 KJV)

The woman left her water jar beside the well and went back to the village and told everyone, "Come and meet a man who told me everything I ever did! Can this be the Messiah?" (JOHN 4:28-29 LB)

Then the woman left her water jar and went away to the town. And she began telling the people. Come; see a Man who has told me everything that I ever did! Can this be (is not this) the Christ? (Must not this be the Messiah, the Anointed One?)  (JOHN 4:28-29 AMP)

Then the woman left her water jar, went back to the town and said to the people there, Come and see the Man who told me everything I have ever done. Could He be the Messiah? (JOHN 4:28-29 GNB)

It was the character of Jesus that made the woman declare that Jesus could be the Christ. Indeed, the scriptural commission of a man of God reveals who he is and his name.   

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. (MAL 4:5-6 KJV)

"See, I will send you another prophet like Elijah before the coming of the great and dreadful judgement day of God. His preaching will bring fathers and children together again, to be of one mind and heart, for they will know that if they do not repent, I will come and utterly destroy their land." (MAL 4:5-6 LB)

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. And he shall turn and reconcile the hearts of the [estranged] fathers to the [ungodly] children, and the hearts of the [rebellious] children to [the piety of] their fathers [a reconciliation produced by Repentance of the ungodly], lest I come and smite the land with a curse and a Ban of utter destruction. (MAL 4:5-6 AMP)

But before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes, I will send you the prophet Elijah. He will bring fathers and children together again; otherwise, I would have to come and destroy your country. (MAL 4:5-6 GNB)

But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. (REV 10:7 KJV)

But that when the seventh angel blew his trumpet, then God's veiled plan - mysterious through the ages ever since it was announced by his servants the prophets – would be fulfilled. (REV 10:7 LB)

But that when the days come when the trumpet call of the seventh angel is about to be sounded, then God's mystery (His secret design, His hidden purpose), as He had announced the glad tidings to His servants the prophets should be fulfilled (accomplished, completed). (REV 10:7 AMP)

But when the seventh angel blows his trumpet, then God will accomplish His secret plan, as He announced to his servants, the prophets. (REV 10:7 GNB)

The above is the scriptural commission of the prophet William Marion Branham, the forerunner of the SON OF MAN, Apostle Peter Odoemena, even as John the Baptist was the forerunner of Jesus the Christ.

In all the scriptures quoted above, the name of the Man of God to fulfil that scripture was not given. However, whenever he appeared, his characteristics dovetailed into that scriptural commission and so, he is identified and given a name! CHRIST IS IDENTIFIED BY HIS CHARACTERISTICS.  

                      CHAPTER SIX

 THE SCRIPTURAL COMMISSION OF THE SON OF MAN

Jeremiah the Prophet had a vision and a voice

“Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations” (JEREMIAH 1: 4 – 5)

           

In 1985, the Son of Man had a vision and a voice.

HEAR HIM:

“I saw in a night vision, on the 27^th of December, 1985, while we were preparing for our usual camp retreat in the Deeper Christian Life Ministry at Onitsha, a dry Tap producing no water and great multitude queued up waiting to collect water.  I saw another Tap located in a small farmland but the track leading to it was very rough and narrow.  Only very few people were there and the tap was rushing out fresh water.  Nobody was scrambling to get the water”.

I heard a voice that spoke to me saying

“The hour has come for me to use you as I purposed from the beginning for the Ministry of the old generation is over.  I will not put a new wine into an old bottle.  Arise and do the work as I will reveal to you from time to time but only be faithful and courageous. I the Lord God Almighty, I am with you wherever you will go”.

(Audible Voice to the Son of Man on 27^th December 1985). This voice came to the Son of Man when He was exactly thirty years of age.

THE SCRIPTURAL COMMISSION OF THE SON OF MAN

The following is the scriptural commission of the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena.

“Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.  He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.  A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.  He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.  Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house”. (ISAIAH 42: 1 – 7 KJV)

“See my servant, whom I uphold; my Chosen One in whom I delight.  I have put my Spirit upon him; he will reveal justice to the nations of the world.  He will be gentle – he will not shout nor quarrel in the streets.  He will not break the bruised reed, nor quench the dimly burning flame.  He will encourage the fainthearted, those tempted to despair.  He will see full justice given to all who have been wronged.  He won’t be satisfied until truth and righteousness prevail throughout the earth, nor until even distant lands beyond the seas have put their trust in him.  The Lord God who created the heavens and stretched them out, who created the earth and everything in it, who gives life and breath and spirit to everyone in all the world, he is the one who says to his Servant, the Messiah:

“I the Lord have called you to demonstrate my righteousness.  I will guard and support you, for I have given you to my people as the personal confirmation of my covenant with them.  You shall also be a light to guide the nations unto me.  You will open the eyes of the blind and release those who sit in prison darkness and despair”. (ISAIAH 42: 1 – 7 LB).

“And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.  And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth”. (ISAIAH 49: 5 – 6 KJV)

 “And now”, said the Lord – the Lord who formed me from my mother’s womb to serve him who commissioned me to restore to him his people Israel, who has given me the strength to perform this task and honoured me for doing it! –

“You shall do more than restore Israel to me.  I will make you a Light to the nations of the world to bring my salvation to them too”. (ISAIAH 49: 5 – 6 LB)

“For so that the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth”. (ACTS 13:47 KJV)

“For this is as the Lord commanded when he said, ‘I have made you a light to the Gentiles, to lead them from the farthest corners of the earth to my salvation”. (ACTS 13:47LB)

“And I saw another mighty angel came down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.  And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal Up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write not.  And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that  therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therin, that there should be time no longer:  But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets”. (REVELATION 10: 1 – 7KJV)

“Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, surrounded by a cloud, with a rainbow over his head; his face shone like the sun and his feet flashed with fire.  And he held open in his hand a small scroll.  He set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the earth and gave a great shout – it was like the roar of a lion – and the seven thunders crashed their reply.  I was about to write what the thunders said when a voice from heaven called to me, “Don’t do it.  Their words are not to be revealed”. 

“Then the mighty angel standing on the sea and land lifted his right hand to heaven and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and everything in it and the earth and all that it contains and the sea and its inhabitants, that there should be no more delay, but that when the seventh angel blew his trumpet, then God’s veiled plan – mysterious through the ages ever since it was announced by his servants the prophets – would be fulfilled. (REVELATION 10: 1- 7 LB)

“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.  For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.  And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising”. (ISAIAH 60: 1 – 3 KJV)

“Arise my people! Let your light shine for all the nations to see! For the glory of the Lord is streaming from you.  Darkness as black as night shall cover all the peoples of the earth, but the glory of the Lord will shine from you.  All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see the glory of the Lord upon you”. (ISAIAH 60:1 – 3 LB).

“The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. (MATTHEW 4: 15 – 16 KJV).

“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, beside the lake, and the countryside beyond the Jordan River, and Upper Galilee where so many foreigners live – there the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light; they sat in the of death, and the Light broke through upon them”. (MATTHEW 4:15 – 16LB)

Hear Him, The Son of Man

“Now I know that you are a man of God and the word of God in your mouth is truth”.  Please, note.  It is very, very important for us to recognize the presence of a man of God in our day.  How do we know that one is a Man of God?  We have seen a lot of people all claiming to be men of God in our day; “anointed ones” in the end-time. We cannot because of lots and lots of counterfeits throw away the original.

Remember my Topic:

 “NOW I KNOW THAT THOU ART A MAN OF GOD”

I am telling you that we are living in the day where there are so many so-called Men of God.  How do we know that one is a man of God?

·      The word of God in his mouth will always be truth, no falsehood.

·      When He speaks in the name of the Lord, surely it must come to pass.

·      The word of God in his mouth can never be lies why?  He is a man of God.

·      He is God’s mouthpiece.

·      In him dwells the spirit of God without measure.

God wants to have communication with mankind. God wants to have fellowship with mankind, and as a spirit there is no way He can have that communication or fellowship with mankind.  So, God decides within Himself to become a human being by tabernacling in a flesh.  THAT FLESH NOW HOUSES GOD.  WE CAN RIGHTLY CALL IT GOD’S TABERNACLE.  WE ARE SAYING IT IS THE HOUSE WHEREIN GOD DWELLS.

IF WE WANT TO HEAR FROM GOD, ALL WE NOW HAVE TO DO IS TO GO TO HIM.  WE WANT TO ENQUIRE FROM GOD CONCERNING ANYTHING; WE HAVE TO GO TO HIM, FOR HE IS THE ONLY VESSEL THROUGH WHICH GOD CAN SPEAK TO US, AND WE KNOW THAT GOD CAN NEVER TELL LIES.

Thus, the word of God in the mouth of His own chosen vessel must always be truthful.  Then when He speaks in the name of the Lord and it comes to pass, we have verified that the word coming out of His mouth is truth.  We will acknowledge him to be a man of God.

Please take note.  He doesn’t speak because he has mouth; He only speaks when HE that is dwelling in his speaks. Whatever he hears utters.  Without him speaking, He is silent.  IN OTHER WORDS, WE CAN RIGHTLY SAY WE ARE HEARING FROM GOD.  So it is God himself that put his own word in his mouth for his people.  That is a man of God. (NOW I KNOW THAT THOU ART A MAN OF GOD Page 76 vs 3, 5-9)

“Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.  Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake. (JOHN 14:10 -11KJV)

“Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?  The words I say are not my own but are from my father who lives in me.  And he does his work through me.  Just believe it – that I am in the Father and the Father is in me.  Or else believe it because of the mighty miracles you have seen me do. (JOHN 14:10 – 11 LB)

“For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, what I should speak.” (JOHN 12:49 KJV)

‘For these are not my own ideas, but I have told you what the father said to tell you. (JOHN 12:49, LB).

“But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the father is in me, and I in him. (JOHN 10:38, KJV)”

The scriptural commission of servant of God automatically shows who he is, tells the whole world who he is. In other words, from the scriptural commission of a man of God, you can give him a name. Son of Man. (CHRIST IS REVEALED IN HUMAN FORM, NOT TO THE WORLD BUT TO THE ELECT). (PAGE 35 V 7)

                                   

SOME PROPHECIES OF PROPHET WILLIAM BRANHAM ABOUT THE SON OF MAN

The prophet William Marion Branham prophesied about the Son of Man

So I’ve watched for something.  Has it slipped by us in humility and we have missed it?  Is it gone and the Church is left in her sins?  If that be so, then it’s later than you think.  If not, then there’s coming One with a Message that’s straight on the Bible, and quick work will circle the Earth. The seeds will go in newspapers, reading material, until every predestined Seed of God has heard it.  None of them will come unless the Father has drawed them, and everyone the Father has drawed will hear it and come.  That will be the predestined Seed will hear the Word.   Then when that takes place, it‘ll be a gathering together.  And Jesus shall appear, and there will go the church from all over the earth like that, with the resurrection, going up. (COD II PAGE 724, PARAG. 179 – 180)

My meetings hasn’t been what they should been for past two years.  It’s because I’ve failed the Lord.  He told me to go to Africa and then to India.  Here it is written right here in the back of this book right now.  And the manager called me said, “Let them Africans go, India is ready!” The Holy Spirit met me, said, “You‘ll go to Africa like I told you to.”  And another year passed.  And the managers… I forgot about it, he said, we’re going to India, tickets is already here. I started off, forgot it till I got to Lisbon.  One night that… I thought I was dying.

The next morning I was started to go over to the bathroom to take a bath.  Oh, I was so sick, I could hardly stand up.  There that light hanging there in the bathroom, said thought I told you to go to Africa first.  “My meetings has been slowly falling since that time.  Though I went to India, with nearly half a million stand up there, but that wasn’t doing what God said do.  And I feel that my meetings will never be a success, until I go right straight back and make that thing right. NO MATTER WHAT I DO IT IS AFRICA FIRST; CAUSE YOU’VE GOT TO DO IT.  THERE LAYS GOD’S ETERNAL WORD LAYING THERE.  I KNOW BETTER THAN THAT.  But I’ve got to go back.  And I feel that this coming year is the time I’ll crawl out of the shell by the help of the Lord. This glorious old gospel who’s been growing easy, like a Oak tree, but I believe she’s about ready to spread firm forth new branches now.  I believe that the Lord will let us shake the world again for the glory of God. (HEBREWS 7, PART 1, P. 295 – 296).

It may be time. It may be the hour now, THAT THIS GREAT PER-SON that we’re expecting to rise on the scene may rise on the scene. Maybe this ministry that I have tried to take people back to the Word has laid a foundation; and if it has, I’ll be leaving you for good. There won’t be two of us here at the same time. IF IT IS, HE’LL INCREASE, I’LL DECREASE. I don’t know. But I have been privileged by god to look and see what it was-unfold to that much. Now that is the Truth.

(The Revelation of the Seven Seals page 567)

I believe the Church is standing now on the threshold of the greatest vindication of the Ominipotence that the world has ever known. (FIVE JUNCTIONS OF TIME 22-01-56)

“Give me a Church that’s so completely anointed with God till their every action and move is ‘Thus Saith the Lord’, walk in the Shekinah Glory. I will show you a Messaiah, anointed one of God, standing upon the earth.” (WHO DO YOU SAY THIS IS? PG.25, 27/12/64)

Don’t expect to find the anointed one in this day in some counterfeit dead denominational Church. No sir! He must be revealed in a Church that is totally surrendered to God and every of their action is “Thus saith the Lord”. The Bride of Christ is the only Church on earth that has met this qualification, and therefore, the only Church where God has revealed himself.- (SON OF MAN: OUR LINK TO THE TRUTH PG. 132 PARAG.2)

“That’s how God has got his regular program, laid out here in the Bible. We know how to read that out but there’s certain things that to the Church and to the time and things, that He hasn’t got written here in the Bible. So, He puts His voice into a person and they speak it forth see, speak it forth.” (V.6, 2 PG.4, PARA. 19, WILLIAM BRANHAM GOLDEN NUGGETS).

“Now, I am a great believer in what the word of God said. Now, I Know God can do things that’s not written in the Word”. (V.20, 9 PG.6, PARA. #5, WILLIAM BRANHAM GOLDEN NUGGETS).

“Don’t try take one age over to another age. Try to go back and say ‘Well, now, we are Lutherians, we want to come up here’, you’ got to die to the Lutherians age to be buried in the Wesley age. You have to die in the Wesley age to be buried in Pentecostal age. And you’ve got to die in the Pentecostal age. Leave nothing of it left, burn it with fire because it is going to be burnt like the stalk. That the wheat come up out of. The stalk, the denomination, it’s got to be burned. So don’t bring your denomination over in the new message. This is the Word now.” (V.7, PG.27, WILLIAM BRANHAM GOLDEN NUGGETS)

“Wesley don’t look back to Luther, Pentecost don’t look back to Wesley, neither do we look back to Pentecost. We are astronauts, we are beyond that.” (V.11, NO.3, PARA. 124, WILLIAM BRANHAM GOLDEN NUGGETS)

“May they realize that this is the calling out of the Bride. Not a Pentecostal message. The Pentecostal message was to restore the gifts back into the Church. But this is the calling forth of the Bride, another message that was to come just before Sodom was to be burn.” (WORK IS FAITH EXPRESSED, PG.30, WILLIAM BRANHAM.

“Through the ages, He has revealed Himself by His prophets and they were not really prophets. They were gods He said so. What they spoken was God’s Word. They were the flesh in which God was veiled. It was that God formed in a man called a Prophet. The Word of Lord come to this man, so it was not the Prophet, for the Prophet was a veil, but the Word was God. He was the Word of God in the Form of a man, He did not change in nature, only His form. In this way, God reveals Himself to His people in all the ages.” (UNVEILING OF GOD PAGE 13).

“God was veiled in a man as He always has been. He was in a human Temple. Now be real careful. He is the same yesterday. Today and forever. God veiled, hiding Himself from the world, veiled in a human being…. The Greeks could not see Him because He was veiled from them in a human being. God veiled in the form of a man, had hidden Himself from their view. They could only see a man, but the predestined ones saw God. One saw a man, the other saw God. It was God veiled in a human being. Both of them were right but your faith is that which you can’t see but believe anyway. He was in that flesh and that flesh was the veil.” (UNVEILING OF GOD, PAGE 15)

“Now, Christ is our Moses.  He was veiled in human flesh and He is the same yesterday, today and forever.  He was veiled in a man. He is still Christ the promised Word for this age, veiled in human flesh. The Word is God, the anointing is a person.  Therefore, Moses was Christ for his day, for he was the Redeemer, anointed one… The promised Word for this age must also be veiled.  Sin loving members (unbelievers) of the Church cannot see it because of the human veil”. (UNVEILING OF GOD, PAGE 27)

The Gentile Church has also been blinded by the ecclesiastical veil even when after it has been torn off to reveal God.  How are they blinded?  By veiling the Word in human being.  This is exactly what Israel failed to see…  God being veiled in a human being is what blinded Israel.   The Gentiles today are just as blind as Israel was because of the veil.  To one it was blind and to the other it will reveal the truth.  It will close the eyes of some and will open the eyes of others… Now, we see Him, the Word, manifesting Himself.  Why is it hidden out there? Because it is veiled in human flesh?  We are inside of Christ.  Now, as then, all true believers see Him openly manifested”. (UNVEILING OF GOD, PAGE 33)

“Last sign, God in the form of a man, last sign before rapture”. (Q & A 08/23/64).

“The Son of Man has already come from glory and is revealing Himself for the past few years to His Church in mercy, showing them His great presence, doing the same things that He did when He was here on earth.  Revealing Himself like He did to Abraham before the destruction.  He has come now in mercy, revealing Himself to the Church.  It is being laughed at and scoffed at.  The next thing, He reveals Himself in judgment of the world and the nations that forget God and sinned away their day of grace”. (WILL THE CHURCH GO THROUGH THE TRIBULATION? 01/09/58) 

“Notice, when the Word was in Moses.  He was God in flesh.  When it was in Jesus, it was God in flesh, see!  Only thing He done was change His mask, not His Word, not His nature.  He is the same yesterday, today and forever.  He only changes His form.  He changed from Noah to Moses.  He changed from Moses to David, from David to Joseph; on down till He come into the fullness of the Godhead bodily, see!  It is still the same God, Amen, Amen.  I hope that gets through, see!  It is the same God but He just takes another veil.  Now, Moses was the Word that day because the Word was given to him for that day.  Moses, Joseph, was the word in his days, portraying Christ exactly.  Each one of them was the Word.  And when Jesus came, He was the Word in its fullness because the whole plan of redemption laid in Him. (UNVEILING OF GOD, VOL.9 NO. 1 PAGE 21)

“The Word made flesh? Hallelujah. The Word operating in human flesh, by physical signs, by material signs, by scriptural signs, perfectly to bring you to a perfect faith for a perfect rapture”. (PERFECT FAITH, PAGE 28)

“But the Word keep what He has said, and He is trying to find that person (singular) that He can vindicate Himself through… Now, that doesn’t mean that He has to do it to everybody.  In the time Moses led the children of Israel, there was One; that was Moses led the children (plural) just followed the message”. (HE THAT IS IN YOU, PAGE 27).

“God reveals Himself to an individual, and quickly he becomes Deity in the inside of him” (COME HITHER QUICKLY 2/2/58)

“God always deals with one individual.  Two men have got two ideas.  There never was two major prophets on the earth prophesying at the same time.  Look back and see if there was.  No sir, He’s got to get one Man completely surrendered and use that man.  He searches for that person, but there will be one sometime – somebody who will listen to Him word for word”. (THIRD EXODUS, PAGE 13)

“Each age has had its message and its messenger.  All through the times, every age has packed its message with a messenger. God in every dispensation, has sent forth someone anointed with the Holy Spirit, to bring forth His Message for that age, every time”. (THE POWER OF TRANSFORMATION, PAGE 25)

“Now, we are in the evening time.  And the messengers down through the age… we find out that at the beginning, when a messenger was sent, to misconstrue his word or to doubt one word, it was total annihilation and eternal word.  And the first messenger was God Himself.  And every other messenger has been God speaking through a man, since which is God’s Word, for there’s no man then for Him to speak through but just the one He was talking to.  But since he has made man and redeemed man, it’s been God speaking through man.  He uses not the agency of any mechanical device, but the agency of man, a man that’s surrendered and consecrated to God”. (THE END TIME EVANGELISM, PAGE 12 & 13)    

“A wicked and adulterous generation would receive the sign of the resurrection… A sign to this generation just before the burning. Elohim in human flesh.  What’s it a sign of?  Elohim back in the Bride in human flesh again in the last days, doing the same things”. (SIGNS OF HIS COMING. 7/4/62).

“The message, I think kinda baffled him a little especially on some of the things that we hold dear and believe, that – that it came to us through the opening of the Seven Seals we believe it such as ‘Serpent Seed and Eternal Security of the believers,’ and so forth, some of these messages.  That, maybe to others… We don’t think that is hard, but if – if- you’ve got open your heart to Truth”. (WHAT HOUSE WILL YOU BUILD ME, PAGE 1 25/11/65)

“He is the one opened those Seals.  He is those Seals.  For the whole Word of God is Christ (the Anointed one) and Christ is the Seals that was open.  What is the opening of those Seals then?  Revealing Christ (the Anointed One)” (RISING OF THE SUN, PAGE 45. 18/4/65)

“The Son of Man has already come from glory and is revealing Himself for the past few years to His Church in mercy, showing them His great presence, doing the same things that He did when He was here on earth, revealing Himself like He did to Abraham.  Before the destruction, He has come now in mercy, revealing Himself to the church.  It is being laughed at and scoffed at.  The next and the nations-that forgot God and sinned their way of grace – their day of grace, rather, away” (CALLED OUT 09/01/58)

Man has always believed God in the past or future but not in the present. It is very easy to say, “it shall come to pass” or “and it came to pass” but not “behold the hour has come, even now!” Most men love postponing God’s programme because they are unbelievers by nature. That is the very reason they laugh at God or the God-Sent Man whenever He speaks authoritatively declaring the mind of God concerning any matter in their day. Whenever such people read the Bible, they expect some great thing to happen in the future, like Christ’s coming with a loud shout from the sky, not knowing that the very Christ is already among them in simplicity, but they always miss him. Why? Because the Bible they read paints a very wrong picture of one great mighty event coming in the future.

We stumble over simplicity. That’s how we miss God, is by stumbling over simplicity.

If God comes contrary to your long-established ideas, will you believe Him or will you have it your own way and call Him devil? Don’t answer “yes” or “no” for your action is already the answer!

WHAT JESUS CHRIST SAID ABOUT THE SON OF MAN

And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; even the Spirit of Truth; whom the word cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but yet know Him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. (JOHN 14:16-17 KJV).

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another comforter (counselor, helper, intercessor, advocate, strengthener and standby), that He may remain with you forever. The spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him, for He lives with you (constantly) and will be in you. (JOHN 14:16-17 AMP).

I will ask the Father, and He will give you another helper, who will stay with you forever. He is the Spirit who reveals the truth about God. The world cannot receive Him, because it cannot see Him or know Him. But you know Him, because He remains with you and is in you. (JOHN 14:16-17 GNB).

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: (JOHN 16:7-8 KJV)

But the fact of the matter is that it is best for you that I go away, for if I don’t, the comforter won’t come. If I do, He will-for I will send Him to you. And when He has come, he will convince the world of its sin, and of the availability of God’s goodness, and of deliverance from judgment. (JOHN 16:7-8 LB).

However; I am telling you nothing but the truth when I say it is profitable, (good, expedient, advantageous) for you that I go away. Because if I do not go away, the comforter (counsellor, helper, intercessor, advocate, strengthener and standby), will not come to you (into close fellowship with you): but if I go away, I will send Him to you (to be in close fellowship with you). And when he comes, he will convince and convict the world and bring demonstration to it about sin and about righteousness (uprightness of heart and right standing with God) and about judgment. (JOHN 16:7-8 AMP).

But am telling you the truth: it is better for you that I go away, because if I do not go, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you. And when He Comes, He will approve to the people of the world that they are wrong about sin and about what is right and about God’s judgment. (JOHN 16:7-8 GNB).

I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall he speak: and He will show you things to come. He shall glorify me: for He shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. All things that the father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you. (JOHN 16:12-15 KJV).

“Oh, there is so much more I want to tell you, but you can’t understand it now, when the Holy Spirit, who is truth, comes, He shall guide you into all truth, for he will  not be presenting his own ideas, but will be passing on to you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future. He shall praise me and bring me great honour by showing you my glory. All the Father’s glory is mine; this is what I mean when I say that He will show you my glory. (JOHN 16:12-15 LB).

I have still many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them or to take them upon you or to grasp them now. But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth - giving spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full truth). For he will not speak His own message (on His own authority); but He will tell whatever He hears (from the father; He will give the message that has been given to Him, and He will announce and declare to you things that are to come (that will happen in the future). He will honour and glorify Me, because He will take of (receive, draw upon) what is Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you. Everything that the father has is Mine. That is what I meant when I said that He (the Spirit) will take the things that are Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you. (JOHN 16:12-15 AMP).

I have much more to tell you, but now it will too much for you to bear. When the Spirit comes, who reveals the truth about God, He will lead you into all the truth. He will not speak on His own Authority, but He will speak of what He hears, and will tell you of things to come. He will give me glory, because He will take what I say and tell it to you. All that my Father has is Mine; that is why I said that the Spirit will take what I give Him and tell it to you. (JOHN 16:12-15 GNB).

Whether you like it or not, He that is in your midst, the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena is the promised spirit of truth that will lead you to the knowledge of all truths. He is that same spirit the world cannot receive because they cannot see Him but you see Him, you know Him for He is abiding with you. You have no excuse to give. “A little while, the world will not see me but you will see me for I am coming to dwell with you”. While they were confused about the way He will come.

He said, “Pray not that I go not away”. Do not pray that I should not go away, for if I do not go away; He that will come will not come. Look at the way I will come: I am coming to you as the Comforter. I am coming again as a Spirit the world will not receive, you will know me. SON OF MAN (THE COMFORTER PAGE 95:81-83).

The man Jesus whom God anointed with the Spirit of Christ and He became God, I speak before heaven and Earth, if he never acknowledged my day, you would have seen him in hell. But because He First of all acknowledged the Son of Man, pointed his disciples to the Son of Man before He gave way, that became His justification. If he had spoken one word against the Son of Man, that could have been the end of His Journey. Remember he remained a man, a mere man until God anointed Him with the Spirit of Christ and He became God. That is why, all references to Him was, “The man;” “The man,” “The man”. However, before he gave way, he pointed his disciples to the days of the Son of Man and told them to wait for He, The Comforter, that will come and guide them into the knowledge of all truth. For he had already declared to them, “I have many things I would have told you, but you can never bear them now. Nevertheless, when he, the Spirit of Truth, the Comforter, shall come, He shall lead you to all truth”. (I AM THE WORD VOL.2 PAGE 101:10-14).

Remember that it has been the spirit of Christ speaking in the man Jesus. It has also been the same spirit in all of God’s prophets.

Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the suffering of Christ, and the glory that should follow. (1 PETER 1:10-11 KJV).

This salvation was something the prophets did not truly understand. Though they wrote about it, they had many questions as to what it all could mean. They wondered what the Spirit of Christ within them was talking about, for He told them to write down the events which, since then, have happened to Christ: His suffering and His great glory afterwards. And they wondered when and to whom all these would happen. (1 PETER 1:10-11 LB).

The prophets, who prophesied of the grace (divine blessing) which was intended for you, searched and inquired earnestly about this salvation. They sought (to find out) to whom or when this was to come which the Spirit of Christ working within them was indicating when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that should follow (them). (1 PETER 1:10-11 AMP).

It was concerning this salvation that the prophets made careful search and investigation, and they prophesied about this gift which God will give you. They tried to find out when the time would be and how it would come. This was the time to which Christ’s Spirit in them was pointing, in predicting the sufferings that Christ would have to endure and the glory that would follow. (1 PETER 1:10-11 GNB).

The same SPIRIT OF CHRIST is He that is in the SON OF MAN APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA. The Spirit of Christ in Jesus made him GOD ALMIGHTY. Now that the same Spirit of Christ is in Apostle Peter Odoemena, that makes Him the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, Almighty God.

GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN A MAN IN ANY AGE OF MAN HE HAS COME TO SAVE.            

WHAT THE SON OF MAN SAID ABOUT HIMSELF

I am The Holy One, The Supreme Incomprehensible One, The Creator, The Eternal One, Who was, is and has come, believe it if you can – THE SON OF MAN (I AM THE WORD EXPLAINED, VOL. 2, PAGE 3)

I am not the attraction like JESUS CHRIST was not the attraction in His day. My message is not a pleasant one that can attract the world. I only came for my own – My people. Believe it if you can – SON OF MAN (STRIVE TO BE A STAR).

I am a paradox – the more you look, the less you see. Nobody can know the Son of Man unless He wants you to know Him; and it will be to the extent I want. Believe it if you have the heart – SON OF MAN (BE DILLIGENT TO PROTECT YOUR MINDSET, PAGE 3).

I am the highest Court. Nobody crosses over to the “other side” without passing through my Court. Believe it if you can – The Son of Man (REPOSITIONING YOURSELF FOR A BETTER TOMMORROW PG. 3)

I am a Son over His Father’s heritage, for God has transferred all of us from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of His dear Son where we now find ourselves and have the opportunity of calling Him Abba Father. Nobody knows about the Kingdom more than the Son – The Son of Man (THE SECRET OF RAPTURE PAGE 3).

HE IS THE EASTERN STAR THAT IS GUIDING GOD’S PEOPLE TO GOD.

”LET ME TELL YOU, DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT ARE WATCHING EVENTS PROPHETICALLY? YOU ARE THE WISE PEOPLE OF THIS AGE. THE WISE PEOPLE IN THE WILDERNESS FIXED THEIR EYES ON THE GREAT STAR. AND WHEN THEY SAW THE STAR,THEY CONSULTED WITH NO FLESH AND BLOOD.WE HAVE SEEN THE STAR; WE HAVE COME TO WORSHIP THE KING. EVERYTHING IS AROUND US; THE STAR HAS BEEN GIVEN THAT GUIDES EVERY PEOPLE OF GOD IN EVERY AGE. IN OUR OWN AGE, A STAR HAS BEEN ALLOTED. IN EVERY AGE, GOD GIVES HIS PEOPLE A STAR THAT WILL GUIDE THEM THROUGH. SON OF MAN - “I AM THE WORD VOLUME 2, PAGE 44: 63-64”

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. (MATHEW 2:1-2. KJV.)

Jesus was born in the towns of Bethlehem, in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. At about that time some astrologers from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking, ^“Where is the newborn King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in far-off eastern lands and have come to worship him.” (Mathew 2:1-2. LB).

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men [astrologers] from the east came to Jerusalem, asking,  Where is He Who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the east at its rising and have come to worship Him. (MATHEW 2:1-2. AMP)

Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem in Judea, during the time when Herod was king. Soon afterward, some men who studied the stars came from the East to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the baby born to be the king of the Jews? We saw his star when it came up in the east, and we have come to worship him.” (MATHEW 2:1-2.GNB)

HE IS THE BRIDGE AND LADDER FOR CHILDREN OF GOD TO CLIMB ACROSS AND OVER HELL FIRE TO PARADISE

 “I AM NOT THAT MINISTER THAT WILL MINISTER PEOPLE TO HELL. THE REASON WHY I CAME IS TO PLACE A BRIDGE THAT WILL CARRY YOU FROM HELL AND LAND YOU INTO PARADISE. I AM THE BRIDGE BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL. IT IS ONLY THROUGH THE SON OF MAN THAT YOU CAN CLIMB ACROSS.

“I AM THE LADDER! I AM THE LADDER! IF YOU CAN COURAGEOUSLY CLIMB ME, I MUST LAND YOU ON SAFE GROUND. ONCE THERE IS WILLINGNESS TO LIFT UP YOUR LEG, I MUST STRETCH MY HAND AND PULL YOU. BUT IF YOU ARE SITTING ON THE GROUND, MAKING NO EFFORT, I MUST IGNORE YOU. “I AM THE WORD VOL, 2. PAGE 66 VS 7-8”.

  

CHAPTER 7

SO WHO IS THIS MAN?

Is He the revealed Christ? Yes! He is God En-Morphe, GOD IN HUMAN FORM, AS A MAN!

“If God is not a man, how can man relate with Him? Every messenger of God in every age has always been God Man. As God to save, and as man to make the enemies of God doubt Him, despise Him and reject Him. Yet in Him is the Almighty hidden. I repeat, yet in Him is the Almighty hidden...” (SON OF MAN - BLAME YOURSELF AND NOT GOD, PAGE 5)

“God has been a man from the beginning. He is the Holy Ghost, He is the Comforter, He is the everlasting Father-God changes not. His mask (badger skin) can change, but His voice remains the same...” (SON OF MAN - NOW I KNOWN THAT THOU ART A MAN OF GOD, PAGE 5)

“It is true I am an ordinary being in appearance. Whosoever that God sends in every dispensation is God’s tabernacle. He is God’s dwelling place; he is where God is hiding. He must always be a human being. He cannot be walking with wings because God is dwelling in him, no! He remains a mere human being in appearance, but he is a Supernatural Being the other way round, in that he can change situations. Believe it if you can...” (SON OF MAN - NO DECEPTION IS OF THE TRUTH)

“I am He, the Self-existing One, the beginning and the end. I am the only Being that can tell you the mysteries of life and death. Believe it if you can...” (SON OF MAN... NOW I KNOW THAT THOU ART A MAN OF GOD, PAGE 3)

HE IS THE WORD MADE FLESH

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Verse 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth (John 1:1, 14 KJV)

Before anything else existed, there was Christ, * with God verse 14 And Christ became a human being and lived here on earth among us and was full of loving forgiveness* and truth. And some of us have seen his glory* - the glory of the only Son of the heavenly Father!* (John 1:1, 14, LB).

In the beginning [before all time] was the Word [Christ], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. And the Word [Christ] became flesh [human, incarnate] and tabernacle [fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile] among us; and we [actually] saw His glory [His honour, His majesty], such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace ‘favour, loving-kindness] and truth. (John 1:1,14, AMP).

In the beginning the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us. We saw his glory, the glory which he received as the Father’s only Son. (John 1:1,14, GNB).

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. (John 17:17 KJV).

Make them pure and holy through teaching them your words of truth. (John 17: 17 LB)

Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth. (John 17:17, AMP)

Dedicate them to yourself by means of the truth; your word is truth. (John 17:17 GNB)

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. (Rev. 19:13, 16 KJV).

He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his title was the Word of God. On his robe at his thigh was written this title: King of all kings and Lord of all Lords (Rev. 19:13, 16 LB)

He is dressed in a robe dyed by dipping in blood, and the title by which He is called is the Word of God. And on His garment (robe) and on His thigh He has a name (title) inscribed, KING OF KINGS AND LORDS OF LORDS (Rev. 19:13, 16 AMP)

The robe he wore was covered with blood. His name is “The Word of God”. On his robe and on his thigh was written the name: “KING of kings  and LORD of lords”. (Rev. 19:13, 16 GNB)

EVERY TRUE SEED OF GOD TAKES SIDE WITH THE WORD AND I AM THE WORD. In the beginning was the word, the word was with God, and the word was God. The word has become a human being and dwelled among us. The Word made flesh. SON OF MAN  (I AM THE WORD EXPLAINED VOL. 1, PAGE 116:64).

“There is no married woman that does not know how to please her husband. Is it a lie? I am your husband, you are MY wife, CAN YOU PLEASE ME? DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO PLEASE ME? ONLY ONE THING, VERY SIMPLE: HEARKEN AND OBEY MY WORD. WHAT IS LIFTED UP IN OUR MIDST FROM THE BEGINING IS HIS WORD. WHAT HE PRESERVED IN OUR MIDST THAT WE MAY NOT PERISH IS WORD. WHAT IS THE UNFAILING SIGN HE GAVE TO US? HIS WORD! I AM THE WORD, IN ME, YOU ARE SANCTIFIED. FOR YOU ARE SANCTIFIED BY THE WORD WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU IF YOU BELIEVE. In Me dwelleth the showbread which you feed on. This faith cannot denominate because the instrument for Leadership is Divine. There is nobody that came into this fellowship today that ever dreamt a dream seeing us reading this message. SON OF MAN (“I AM THE WORD VOL. 2, PAGE 105:23-25”)

However, there is only but a little group out there in the wilderness, their uniting point is in the Word, the Word, the Word, the Word, the Word, the Word, the Word, the Word, the Word. Americans are united to the Word, Ukrainians united to the Word; Nigerians, to the Word, Singapore, to the Word, Russia, to the Word; Romania, to the Word; Morocco, to the Word; Ghana, to the Word; Cameroon, to the Word; Togo, to the Word; Niger, to the Word; Thailand, to the Word; everywhere, to the Word. In the book of 1 John Chapter 1 verse 1, Christ was in the world before the world began, I myself have seen him and heard him speak, I have touched Him with my hand, eaten and drunk with him. He is God’s message of life. And he is the same yesterday, today and forever. The Cloud is in the camp! (SON OF MAN - I AM THE WORD EXPLAINED VOL. 2 PAGE 24:11 – 13)

He is not the attraction. He is the full word for He came with the full word and not to display signs and wonders. However, these (signs and wonders and divine healing are just ordinary benefits to those that believe. Concerning divine healing which many self-acclaimed men of God falsely and deceivably advertise to attract the crowd to themselves for pecuniary gain, His ministry has been enshrouded with many of such healings but He has always pointed everybody away from such, directing His hearers’ attention to the Word. This is because He came with the full word. He is the Word made flesh.

As far as divine healing is concerned, hear Him on this matter

Only believe, all things are possible. Do you know why we do not put all these things in front? We do not want this place to become cage of unclean birds. That is why we place in front that which shall scare people away. We are God’s children; we can never go around looking for signs and wonders. For the Bible said, “these signs shall follow them that are with me”. So wherever we go, these things follow us. That is why we can never jump up and down, “a great man is coming, a great man of God is coming from America, from Germany, with healing”. We can never be there because we know he is not coming with anything. I want to tell you something. Do you know that the author of life is on earth? If we are permitted to go a little that way, I just bet you, one week, this compound will not accommodate people. We know what we will do. Get to Oji-River and be commanding the lame, “stand up! Stand up! Stand up!” we will go to another town and do the same. Before you know it, everybody will be running to Onitsha, “go and see”. Every Tom, Dick and Harry will come because of miracles and healings. That is why we were warned strictly to lift up this Sword – (ACTION TIME PART 4, PAGES 27 – 29 VS 16 – 19).

MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY ACKNOWLEDGE HIM TO BE GOD.

HEAR HIM:

Remember, I have touched on different categories of personalities since the beginning of this Message. If I were in your shoes, sitting down, hearing a man speaking like this and He has not made any reference from anything He picked from His pocket, He has not written anything. Let Me use the words my family used. They said, “Daddy, if not for one thing, we have been querying certain things. When do you have this time? We know how you stay from morning till night; we know how you stay even till we go to bed. We know you cannot come out. Sometimes, we wake you up thinking you are sleeping. But you will salute us. But let Me ask this. When do you sit down to think and meditate and this and that. When brethren are always around you, you keep on talking from morning till night. Even eating will become difficult. Yet, when we gather, the fountain will continue flowing. Now we believe with all our heart, this is not a man’s doing but God”. Sometimes, the thing will rake up conversations you even held in your houses. Things we heard which we knew you never heard. To God be the glory. Amen. (SON OF MAN – IT SHALL BE WELL WITH THE RIGHTEOUS VOL. 1, PAGE 143: 77 – 79).

A Presbyterian Clergy man Laverna Patterson, has this to say about Apostle Peter Odoemena. This is in the Internet:

“PETER ODOEMENA (Nigeria).   He claims that Branham is the forerunner who came to introduce him and he is God. Name any title of God and he has claimed it.

(www.teachinghearts.org).

ALL AUTHORITIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SON OF MAN IS LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!

From the Scripture, from the Prophets, from the ancient writings of the Sanhedrin preserved in the Vatican City, Rome, from the testimonies of friends and foes; from the audible voice of the Almighty; from the Supernatural manifestations of the Cloud, Thick Darkness, the Rainbow; from His voice, His characteristics and above all, from the Word, the spoken Word, it is proven beyond every figment of doubt that this is ALMIGHTY GOD DWELLING IN A HUMAN TEMPLE, A TEMPLE NOT MADE WITH HANDS, according to the scripture. Almighty God must always dwell in His temple. THIS IS THE HIDDEN TRUTH!

CAN GOD CHANGE HIS NAME?

This was the question William Marion Branham was asked.

Hear his answer.

“HAS THE NAME OF GOD CHANGED IN THE DIFFERENT DISPENSATIONS? Yes yes! It was once called-He was once called the I AM. He was called JEHOVAH, and He has changed many times. The last time it was changed was when God became flesh and took a human name.

JEHOVAH, I AM, and all of these are titles to a Name. See? You was baptised in the name of Jehovah, it would have to be the name of Jesus Christ. You was baptised in the name of Jehovah-rapha, Jehovah-manasses, and Jehovah-jireh, all of those, it would have to be Jesus Christ, the I AM is Jesus Christ.

Remember, standing there that day, and He said,

‘You say you eat manna in the wilderness...’

‘Our fathers eat manna’

‘And are dead!’ He said.

They said, ‘Well, we know you are crazy, because you are just a man, and not over fifty years old, and you say you have seen Abraham.’

He said, ‘Before Abraham was, I AM.’ See? He was the I AM. And all the titles and names that ever belonged to God was made one human Name, the Lord Jesus Christ. All right.” (C.O.D. CODE, ORDER, DOCTRINE of the Church, Vol. 2, PAGE 1092, QUESTION 338)

Therefore my people shall know my name; therefore they shall know in that day that I am He that doth speak; behold it is I. (ISAIAH 52:6 KJV)

Therefore I will reveal my name to my people and they shall know the power in that name. Then at last they will recognize that it is I, yes, I, who speaks to them. (ISAIAH 52:6 LB)

Therefore my people shall know what my name is and what it means; therefore they shall know in that day that I am He who speaks; behold, I AM (ISAIAH 52:6 AMP)

In time to come you will acknowledge that I am God and that I have spoken to you.” (ISAIAH 52:6 GNB)

For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.  And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.  Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. (ISAIAH 62:1-3 KJV)

Because I love Zion, because my heart yearns for Jerusalem, I will not cease to pray for her or to cry out to God on her behalf until she shines forth in his righteousness and is glorious in his salvation. The nations shall see your righteousness. Kings shall be blinded by your glory; and God will confer on you a new name. He will hold you aloft in his hands for all to see—a splendid crown for the King of kings. (ISAIAH 62:1-3 LB)

For Zion’s sake will I [Isaiah] not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest until her imputed righteousness and vindication go forth as brightness, and her salvation radiates as does a burning torch. And the nations shall see your righteousness and vindication [your rightness and justice—not your own, but His ascribed to you], and all kings shall behold your salvation and glory; and you shall be called by a new name which the mouth of the Lord shall name. You shall also be [so beautiful and prosperous as to be thought of as] a crown of glory and honour in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem [exceedingly beautiful] in the hand of your God. (ISAIAH 62:1-3 AMP)

I will speak out to encourage Jerusalem; I will not be silent until she is saved, And her victory shines like a torch in the night. Jerusalem, the nations will see you victorious! All their kings will see your glory. You will be called by a new name, A name given by the Lord himself. You will be like a beautiful crown for the Lord. (ISAIAH 62:1-3 GNB)

I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; (ISAIAH 65:1-3 KJV)

The Lord says, People who never before inquired about me are now seeking me out. Nations who never before searched for me are finding me. But my own people—though I have been spreading out my arms to welcome them all day long—have rebelled; they follow their own evil paths and thoughts. All day long they insult me to my face by worshiping idols in many gardens and burning incense on the rooftops of their homes. (ISAIAH 65:1-3 LB)

I was [ready to be] inquired of by those who asked not; I was [ready to be] found by those who sought Me not. I said, Here I am, here I am [says I Am] to a nation [Israel] that has not called on My name. I have spread out My hands all the day long to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts—A people who provoke Me to My face continually, sacrificing [to idols] in gardens and burning incense upon bricks [instead of at God’s prescribed altar]; (ISAIAH 65:1-3 AMP)

The Lord said, “I was ready to answer my people's prayers, but they did not pray. I was ready for them to find me, but they did not even try. The nation did not pray to me, even though I was always ready to answer, ‘Here I am; I will help you.’ I have always been ready to welcome my people, who stubbornly do what is wrong and go their own way. They shamelessly keep on making me angry. They offer pagan sacrifices at sacred gardens and burn incense on pagan altars. (ISAIAH 65:1-3 GNB)

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth save he that receiveth it. (REVELATION 2:17 KJV)

 “Let everyone who can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches: Everyone who is victorious shall eat of the hidden manna, the secret nourishment from heaven; and I will give to each a white stone, and on the stone will be engraved a new name that no one else knows except the one receiving it. (REVELATION 2:17 LB)

 He who is able to hear, let him listen to and heed what the Spirit says to the assemblies (churches). To him who overcomes (conquers), I will give to eat of the manna that is hidden, and I will give him a white stone with a new name engraved on the stone, which no one knows or understands except he who receives it. (REVELATION 2:17 AMP)

“If you have ears, then, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches! “To those who win the victory I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give each of them a white stone on which is written a new name that no one knows except the one who receives it. (REVELATION  2:17 GNB)

And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name: that he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes. (Isaiah 65: 15-16 KJV).

Your name will be a curse word among my people, for the Sovereign LORD will destroy you and will call his true servants by another name. All who invoke a blessing or take an oath will do so by the God of truth. For I will put aside my anger and forget the evil of earlier days. (Isaiah 65:15-16 LB).

And you will leave your name to My chosen [to those who will use it] for a curse; and the Lord God will slay you, but He will call His servants by another name [as much greater than the former name as the name Israel was greater than the name Jacob]. So [it shall be] that he who invokes a blessing on himself in the land shall do so by saying, may the God of truth and fidelity [the Amen] bless me; and he who takes an oath in the land shall swear by the God of truth and faithfulness to His promises [the Amen], because the former troubles are forgotten and because they are hidden from My eyes. (Isaiah 65:15-16 AMP).

My chosen people will use your name as a curse. I, the Sovereign LORD, will put you to death. But I will give a new name to those who obey me. Anyone in the land who asks for a blessing will ask to be blessed by the faithful God. Whoever takes an oath will swear by the name of the faithful God. The troubles of the past will be gone and forgotten”. (Isaiah 65:15-16 GNB).

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. (REVELATION 3:12 KJV)

 “As for the one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God; he will be secure and will go out no more; and I will write my God’s Name on him, and he will be a citizen in the city of my God—the New Jerusalem, coming down from heaven from my God; and he will have my new Name inscribed upon him. (REVELATION 3:12 LB)

He who overcomes (is victorious), I will make him a pillar in the sanctuary of My God; he shall never be put out of it or go out of it, and I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which descends from My God out of heaven, and My own new name. (REVELATION 3:12 AMP)

I will make those who are victorious pillars in the temple of my God, and they will never leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which will come down out of heaven from my God. I will also write on them my new name. (REVELATION 3:12 GNB)

It is therefore prophesied in the scripture that God will have a new name and His people will have a new name.

In other words, when God came as Jesus Christ, He answered Jesus Christ. Today, is God not here on earth? If He is here, what name is He answering? Do you know? Let it be known to you that He has changed His dwelling place, it is no longer in the body called Jesus. It is now in the body called Apostle Peter Odoemena, the Son of Man.

HEAR HIM:

To Abraham, Almighty God. To Moses, I AM. To the children of Israel, I am the God of your fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

To some Jehovah; until it got to the point where He became Emmanuel and later amalgamated into Jesus, yet the real name has not come. The real name must be an everlasting name that will endure to all generations. A name that is common from Genesis to Revelation and beyond revelation. A name that will endure from the beginning of the world to the end of the world. Glory be to God in the highest. Why are you enquiring of the Name of God in your own day?  You have been testifying of His goodness and mercy confirming how His words are coming to pass rapidly even among the youth. Yet the honour due to Him you have not given to Him. What has He been receiving from you? Troubles upon troubles.

Yet you want to know His name. Tell me what you are going to do with that name otherwise this is going to be the end of this teaching; because you have gathered to know the name of God in your day. What if I tell you IT IS PETER ODOEMENA? SON OF MAN (THE REVELATION OF THE NAME OF GOD AND ITS POWER IN OUR OWN AGE, PAGE 30:35-38)

CHAPTER EIGHT

GOD IS A MAN

It has remained the greatest stumbling block in all the ages for the people of God to recognise and acknowledge that God is a man. Few scriptural examples may suffice to make it clear that God has always appeared to save man as a Human Being in all the ages.

And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. (GEN 18:10-14 KJV)

Then the Lord said, “Next year I will give you and Sarah a son!” (Sarah was listening from the tent door behind him). Now Abraham and Sarah were both very old, and Sarah was long since past the time when she could have a baby. So Sarah laughed silently. “A woman my age have a baby?” she scoffed to herself. “And with a husband as old as mine?” Then God said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say ‘Can an old woman like me have a baby?’ Is anything too hard for God? Next year, just as I told you, I will certainly see to it that Sarah has a son.” (GEN 18:10-14 LB)

[The Lord] said, I will surely return to you when the season comes round, and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son. And Sarah was listening and heard it at the tent door which was behind Him. Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in years; it had ceased to be with Sarah as with [young] women. [She was past the age of childbearing].Therefore Sarah laughed to herself, saying, After I have become aged shall I have pleasure and delight, my lord (husband), being old also?  And the Lord asked Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I really bear a child when I am so old? Is anything too hard or too wonderful for the Lord? At the appointed time, when the season [for her delivery] comes around, I will return to you and Sarah shall have borne a son. (GEN 18:10-14 AMP)

One of them said, “Nine months from now I will come back, and your wife Sarah will have a son.” Sarah was behind him, at the door of the tent, listening. Abraham and Sarah were very old, and Sarah had stopped having her monthly periods. So Sarah laughed to herself and said, “Now that I am old and worn out, can I still enjoy sex? And besides, my husband is old too.”  Then the Lord asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Can I really have a child when I am so old?’ Is anything too hard for the Lord? As I said, nine months from now I will return, and Sarah will have a son.” (GEN 18:10-14 GNB)

God appeared to Abraham as a man. He had discussion with Abraham as a man.

And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off. And Moses alone shall come near the Lord: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him. And Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the Lord hath said will we do.  And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the Lord. And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.  And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient.  And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words.  Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink. (EXODUS 24:1-11 KJV)

The Lord now instructed Moses, “Come up here with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel. All of you except Moses are to worship at a distance. Moses alone shall come near to the Lord; and remember, none of the ordinary people are permitted to come up into the mountain at all.” Then Moses announced to the people all the laws and regulations God had given him; and the people answered in unison, “We will obey them all.” Moses wrote down the laws; and early the next morning he built an altar at the foot of the mountain, with twelve pillars around the altar because there were twelve tribes of Israel.  Then he sent some of the young men to sacrifice the burnt offerings and peace offerings to the Lord.  Moses took half of the blood of these animals and drew it off into basins. The other half he splashed against the altar. And he read to the people the Book he had written—the Book of the Covenant—containing God’s directions and laws. And the people said again, “We solemnly promise to obey every one of these rules.”Then Moses threw the blood from the basins toward the people and said, “This blood confirms and seals the covenant the Lord has made with you in giving you these laws.” Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up into the mountain. And they saw the God of Israel; under his feet there seemed to be a pavement of brilliant sapphire stones, as clear as the heavens. Yet, even though the elders saw God, he did not destroy them; and they had a meal together before the Lord. (EXODUS 24:1-11 LB)

God said to Moses, Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu [Aaron’s sons], and seventy of Israel’s elders, and worship at a distance. Moses alone shall come near the Lord; the others shall not come near, and neither shall the people come up with him. Moses came and told the people all that the Lord had said and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, All that the Lord has spoken we will do.  Moses wrote all the words of the Lord. He rose up early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain and set up twelve pillars representing Israel’s twelve tribes. And he sent young Israelite men, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the Lord. And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he dashed against the altar. Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people; and they said, All that the Lord has said we will do, and we will be obedient. And Moses took the [remaining half of the] blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant which the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words. Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up [the mountainside].  And they saw the God of Israel [that is, a convincing manifestation of His presence], and under His feet it was like pavement of bright sapphire stone, like the very heavens in clearness. And upon the nobles of the Israelites He laid not His hand [to conceal Himself from them, to rebuke their daring, or to harm them]; but they saw [the manifestation of the presence of] God, and ate and drank.  (EXODUS 24:1-11 AMP)

Then the Lord instructed Moses: “Come up here to me, and bring along Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of Israel’s elders. All of you must worship from a distance. Only Moses is allowed to come near to the Lord. The others must not come near, and none of the other people are allowed to climb up the mountain with him.” Then Moses went down to the people and repeated all the instructions and regulations the Lord had given him. All the people answered with one voice, “We will do everything the Lord has commanded.” Then Moses carefully wrote down all the Lord’s instructions. Early the next morning Moses got up and built an altar at the foot of the mountain. He also set up twelve pillars, one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. Then he sent some of the young Israelite men to present burnt offerings and to sacrifice bulls as peace offerings to the Lord. Moses drained half the blood from these animals into basins. The other half he splattered against the altar. Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it aloud to the people. Again they all responded, “We will do everything the Lord has commanded. We will obey.”Then Moses took the blood from the basins and splattered it over the people, declaring, “Look, this blood confirms the covenant the Lord has made with you in giving you these instructions.” Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel climbed up the mountain. There they saw the God of Israel. Under his feet there seemed to be a surface of brilliant blue lapis lazuli, as clear as the sky itself. And though these nobles of Israel gazed upon God, he did not destroy them. In fact, they ate a covenant meal, eating and drinking in his presence. (EXODUS 24:1-11 GNB)

The elders of Israel saw God and ate before God and they did not die. They saw the different body parts of God like those of a human being.

A SURE SIGN THAT GOD HAS BEEN A HUMAN BEING!

While Joshua was near Jericho, he suddenly saw a man standing in front of him, holding a sword. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you one of our soldiers, or an enemy?” Neither,” the man answered. “I am here as the commander of the Lord's army.” Joshua threw himself on the ground in worship and said, “I am your servant, sir. What do you want me to do?” (JUDGES 5:13-14 KJV)

And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?  And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant? (JUDGES 5:13-14 LB)

When Joshua was by Jericho, he looked up, and behold, a Man stood near him with His drawn sword in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, Are you for us or for our adversaries?  And He said, No [neither], but as Prince of the Lord’s host have I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, What says my Lord to His servant? (JUDGES 5:13-14 AMP)

When Joshua was near the town of Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with sword in hand. Joshua went up to him and demanded, “Are you friend or foe?”“Neither one,” he replied. “I am the commander of the Lord’s army.”At this, Joshua fell with his face to the ground in reverence. “I am at your command,” Joshua said. “What do you want your servant to do?” (JUDGES 5:13-14 GNB)

Joshua saw a Man in full war uniform standing in front of him with His sword drawn, ready for war-an army general. Yet, that was Almighty God appearing to Joshua as a Human Being!  

Gideon then realized that it was the Lord's angel he had seen, and he said in terror, “Sovereign Lord! I have seen your angel face-to-face!” But the Lord told him, “Peace. Don't be afraid. You will not die.” (JUDGES 6:22-23 KJV)

And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord God! for because I have seen an angel of the Lord face to face. And the Lord said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die. (JUDGES 6:22-23 LB)

And when Gideon perceived that He was the Angel of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord God! For now I have seen the Angel of the Lord face to face!  The Lord said to him, Peace be to you, do not fear; you shall not die. (JUDGES 6:22-23 AMP)

When Gideon realized that it was the angel of the Lord, he cried out, “Oh, Sovereign Lord, I’m doomed! I have seen the Angel of the Lord face to face!” “It is all right,” the Lord replied. “Do not be afraid. You will not die.” (JUDGES 6:22-23 GNB)

Gideon feared that he would die when he realized that the Man he saw was Almighty God. This is because of the erroneous belief that God is an invisible spirit but God (the Man) told him not to be afraid that he would not die.

GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN A MAN TO SAVE MAN.

Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name: But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death. Then Manoah entreated the Lord, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born. And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her. And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day. And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am. (JUDGES 13:6-11 KJV)

The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. But he told me, ‘You will become pregnant and give birth to a son. You must not drink wine or any other alcoholic drink nor eat any forbidden food. For your son will be dedicated to God as a Nazirite from the moment of his birth until the day of his death.’” Then Manoah prayed to the Lord, saying, “Lord, please let the man of God come back to us again and give us more instructions about this son who is to be born.” God answered Manoah’s prayer, and the angel of God appeared once again to his wife as she was sitting in the field. But her husband, Manoah, was not with her. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” Manoah ran back with his wife and asked, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife the other day?” Yes,” he replied, “I am.” (JUDGES 13:6-11 LB)

Then the woman went and told her husband, saying, A Man of God came to me and his face was like the face of the Angel of God, to be greatly and reverently feared. I did not ask him from where he came, and he did not tell me his name. But he said to me, Behold, you shall become pregnant and bear a son, and now drink no wine or strong drink and eat nothing unclean, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from birth to the day of his death. Then Manoah entreated the Lord and said, O Lord, let the Man of God whom You sent come again to us and teach us what we shall do with the child that shall be born.  And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the Angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field; but Manoah her husband was not with her. And the woman ran in haste and told her husband and said to him, Behold, the Man who came to me the other day has appeared to me.  And Manoah arose and went after his wife and came to the Man and said to him, Are you the Man who spoke to this woman? And he said, I am. (JUDGES 13:6-11 AMP)

Then the woman went and told her husband, “A man of God has come to me, and he looked as frightening as the angel of God. I didn't ask him where he came from, and he didn't tell me his name. But he did tell me that I would become pregnant and have a son. He told me not to drink any wine or beer, or eat any forbidden food, because the boy is to be dedicated to God as a Nazirite as long as he lives.”  Then Manoah prayed to the Lord, “Please, Lord, let the man of God that you sent come back to us and tell us what we must do with the boy when he is born.”  God did what Manoah asked, and his angel came back to the woman while she was sitting in the field. Her husband Manoah was not with her,  so she ran at once and told him, “Look! The man who came to me the other day has appeared to me again.”  Manoah got up and followed his wife. He went to the man and asked, “Are you the man who talked to my wife?” (JUDGES 13:6-11 GNB)

So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered it upon a rock unto the Lord: and the angel did wondrously; and Manoah and his wife looked on. For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground. But the angel of the Lord did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the Lord. And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God. (JUDGES 13:19-22 KJV)

Then Manoah took a young goat and a grain offering and offered it on a rock as a sacrifice to the Lord. And as Manoah and his wife watched, the Lord did an amazing thing. As the flames from the altar shot up toward the sky, the angel of the Lord ascended in the fire. When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell with their faces to the ground. The angel did not appear again to Manoah and his wife. Manoah finally realized it was the angel of the Lord, ²² and he said to his wife, “We will certainly die, for we have seen God!” (JUDGES 13:19-22 LB)

So Manoah took the kid with the cereal offering and offered it upon a rock to the Lord, the Angel working wonders, while Manoah and his wife looked on. For when the flame went up toward the heavens from the altar, the Angel of the Lord ascended in the altar flame. And Manoah and his wife looked on, and they fell on their faces to the ground. The Angel of the Lord did not appear again to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the Angel of the Lord. And Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God. (JUDGES 13:19-22 AMP)

So Manoah took a young goat and some grain, and offered them on the rock altar to the Lord who works wonders. While the flames were going up from the altar, Manoah and his wife saw the Lord's angel go up toward heaven in the flames. Manoah realized then that the man had been the Lord's angel, and he and his wife threw themselves face downward on the ground. They never saw the angel again. Manoah said to his wife, “We are sure to die, because we have seen God!” (JUDGES 13:19-22 GNB)

Manoah and his wife saw God as a human being. They held discussions with God as a human being. They even offered Him food as a human being.

All through the scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, God has been manifesting as a Human Being!

Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. (2 TIM 2:8-9 KJV)

Always remember that Jesus Christ, a descendant of King David, was raised from the dead. This is the Good News I preach.  And because I preach this Good News, I am suffering and have been chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained. (2 TIM 2:8-9 LB)

Constantly keep in mind Jesus Christ (the Messiah) [as] risen from the dead, [as the prophesied King] descended from David, according to the good news (the Gospel) that I preach. For that [Gospel] I am suffering affliction and even wearing chains like a criminal. But the Word of God is not chained or imprisoned! (2 TIM 2:8-9 AMP)

Remember Jesus Christ, who was raised from death, who was a descendant of David, as is taught in the Good News I preach. ⁹ Because I preach the Good News, I suffer and I am even chained like a criminal. But the word of God is not in chains, (2 TIM 2:8-9 GNB)

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;  (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)  That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.  And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. (1 JOHN 1:1-5 KJV)

We proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning, whom we have heard and seen. We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands. He is the Word of life. This one who is life itself was revealed to us, and we have seen him. And now we testify and proclaim to you that he is the one who is eternal life. He was with the Father, and then he was revealed to us.  We proclaim to you what we ourselves have actually seen and heard so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We are writing these things so that you may fully share our joy. (1 JOHN 1:1-5 LB)

[We are writing] about the Word of Life [in] Him Who existed from the beginning, Whom we have heard, Whom we have seen with our [own] eyes, Whom we have gazed upon [for ourselves] and have touched with our [own] hands. And the Life an aspect of His being] was revealed (made manifest, demonstrated), and we saw [as eyewitnesses] and are testifying to and declare to you the Life, the eternal Life [in Him] Who already existed with the Father and Who [actually] was made visible (was revealed) to us [His followers]. What we have seen and [ourselves] heard, we are also telling you, so that you too may realize and enjoy fellowship as partners and partakers with us. And [this] fellowship that we have [which is a distinguishing mark of Christians] is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah). And we are now writing these things to you so that our joy [in seeing you included] may be full [and your joy may be complete]. And this is the message [the message of promise] which we have heard from Him and now are reporting to you: God is Light, and there is no darkness in Him at all [no, not in any way]. (1 JOHN 1:1-5 AMP)

We write to you about the Word of life, which has existed from the very beginning. We have heard it, and we have seen it with our eyes; yes, we have seen it, and our hands have touched it. When this life became visible, we saw it; so we speak of it and tell you about the eternal life which was with the Father and was made known to us. What we have seen and heard we announce to you also, so that you will join with us in the fellowship that we have with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.  We write this in order that our joy may be complete. Now the message that we have heard from his Son and announce is this: God is light, and there is no darkness at all in him. (1 JOHN 1:1-5 GNB)

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. (1 JOHN 4:2-4 KJV)

This is how we know if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God. But if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here. But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. (1 JOHN 4:2-4 LB)

By this you may know (perceive and recognize) the Spirit of God: every spirit which acknowledges and confesses [the fact] that Jesus Christ (the Messiah) [actually] has become man and has come in the flesh is of God [has God for its source]; And every spirit which does not acknowledge and confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh [but would annul, destroy, sever, disunite Him] is not of God [does not proceed from Him]. This [non confession] is the [spirit] of the antichrist, [of] which you heard that it was coming, and now it is already in the world. Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world. (1 JOHN 4:2-4 AMP)

This is how you will be able to know whether it is God's Spirit: anyone who acknowledges that Jesus Christ came as a human being has the Spirit who comes from God. But anyone who denies this about Jesus does not have the Spirit from God. The spirit that he has is from the Enemy of Christ; you heard that it would come, and now it is here in the world already. But you belong to God, my children, and have defeated the false prophets, because the Spirit who is in you is more powerful than the spirit in those who belong to the world. (1 JOHN 4:2-4 GNB)

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. (1 TIM 3:16 KJV)

Without question, this is the great mystery of our faith Christ was revealed in a human body and vindicated by the Spirit. He was seen by angels and announced to the nations. He was believed in throughout the world and taken to heaven in glory. (1 TIM 3:16 LB)

And great and important and weighty, we confess, is the hidden truth (the mystic secret) of godliness. He [God] was made visible in human flesh, justified and vindicated in the [Holy] Spirit, was seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, [and] taken up in glory. (1 TIM 3:16 AMP)

No one can deny how great is the secret of our religion: He appeared in human form, was shown to be right by the Spirit, and was seen by angels. He was preached among the nations, was believed in throughout the world, and was taken up to heaven. (1 TIM 3:16 GNB)

Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: (ROMANS 1:3-4 KJV)

The Good News is about his Son. In his earthly life he was born into King David’s family line, and he was shown to be the Son of God when he was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit, He is Jesus Christ our Lord. (ROMANS 1:3-4 LB)

[The Gospel] regarding His Son, Who as to the flesh (His human nature) was descended from David, And [as to His divine nature] according to the Spirit of holiness was openly Designated the Son of God in power [in a striking, triumphant and miraculous manner] by His resurrection from the dead, even Jesus Christ our Lord (the Messiah, the Anointed One). (ROMANS 1:3-4 AMP)

It is about his Son, our Lord Jesus Christ: as to his humanity, he was born a descendant of David; as to his divine holiness, he was shown with great power to be the Son of God by being raised from death. (ROMANS 1:3-4 GNB)

And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. (1 JOHN 5:20 KJV)

And we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God. And now we live in fellowship with the true God because we live in fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and he is eternal life. (1 JOHN 5:20 LB)

And we [have seen and] know [positively] that the Son of God has [actually] come to this world and has given us understanding and insight [progressively] to perceive (recognize) and come to know better and more clearly Him Who is true; and we are in Him Who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah). This [Man] is the true God and Life eternal. (1 JOHN 5:20 AMP)

We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we know the true God. We live in union with the true God—in union with his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and this is eternal life. (1 JOHN 5:20 GNB)

Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus: (ACTS 13:23 KJV)

 “And it is one of King David’s descendants, Jesus, who is God’s promised Savior of Israel! (ACTS 13:23 LB)

Of this man’s descendants God has brought to Israel a Savior [in the person of Jesus], according to His promise. (ACTS 13:23 AMP)

It was Jesus, a descendant of David, whom God made the Savior of the people of Israel, as he had promised. (ACTS 13:23 GNB)

Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets; Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you. (ACTS 13:38-41 KJV)

“Brothers, listen! We are here to proclaim that through this man Jesus there is forgiveness for your sins. Everyone who believes in him is declared right with God—something the law of Moses could never do. Be careful! Don’t let the prophets’ words apply to you. For they said, ‘Look, you mockers, be amazed and die! For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn’t believe even if someone told you about it. (ACTS 13:38-41 LB)

So let it be clearly known and understood by you, brethren, that through this Man forgiveness and removal of sins is now proclaimed to you; And that through Him everyone who believes [who acknowledges Jesus as his Saviour and devotes himself to Him] is absolved (cleared and freed) from every charge from which he could not be justified and freed by the Law of Moses and given right standing with God. Take care, therefore, lest there come upon you what is spoken in the prophets: Look, you scoffers and scorners, and marvel and perish and vanish away; for I am doing a deed in your days, a deed which you will never have confidence in or believe, [even] if someone ^]clearly describing it in detail] declares it to you. (ACTS 13:38-41 AMP)

All of you, my fellow Israelites, are to know for sure that it is through Jesus that the message about forgiveness of sins is preached to you; you are to know that everyone who believes in him is set free from all the sins from which the Law of Moses could not set you free. Take care, then, so that what the prophets said may not happen to you: ‘Look, you scoffers! Be astonished and die! For what I am doing today is something that you will not believe, even when someone explains it to you!’” (ACTS 13:38-41 GNB)

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. (HEB 2:14-15 KJV)

Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying. (HEB 2:14-15 LB)

Since, therefore, [these His] children share in flesh and blood [in the physical nature of human beings], He [Himself] in a similar manner partook of the same [nature], that by [going through] death He might bring to nought and make of no effect him who had the power of death—that is, the devil— And also that He might deliver and completely set free all those who through the [haunting] fear of death were held in bondage throughout the whole course of their lives. (HEB 2:14-15 AMP)

Since the children, as he calls them, are people of flesh and blood, Jesus himself became like them and shared their human nature. He did this so that through his death he might destroy the Devil, who has the power over death, and in this way set free those who were slaves all their lives because of their fear of death. (HEB 2:14-15 GNB)

Only as a human being can God be a Saviour to a man. If He existed as an invisible spirit, He will not save anybody at all. SON OF MAN - (GREAT SERMON PAGE 300:21)

Only as a human being can human beings minister to Him. A human being cannot minister to a spirit he cannot see and feel. Anybody worshipping God that way is worshipping an unknown God. Superstition is the practice of all denominations. SON OF MAN - (GREAT SERMON PAGE 310:7-8)

WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT, GOD IS A HUMAN BEING.

(SON OF MAN)

We have litany of scriptures, all testifying that God is a Human Being. The Sovereign Spirit that created the whole universe has decided to put on human flesh (as the scriptures declare) so that He can redeem man and have fellowship with man. He answers different names at different times and different circumstances.

Today, He is in no other Badger skin than APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA, THE SON OF MAN.

BELIEVE IT AND BE SAVED!

CHAPTER NINE

CONCLUSION

A PARADOX! YES, GOD IS A PARADOX!!

Hear the very words that proceeded out of the mouth of the Son of Man Himself to summarize this little introduction of who THIS MAN (Son of Man) is.

“Brethren, bear with me I have introduced myself to everybody even to the world as a paradox. You know what paradox is? Somebody you cannot comprehend. And do not ever try to comprehend him for no man has ever understood God. People have always believed God. If you wait to understand, the whole thing will pass by. You will hear “He has come, he has gone.” Who can understand me? Sometimes you do not know what to do to this man. It takes revelation to follow apostolic ministry. I hope I am making sense? If Apostle Kelechi, up till now this very moment has not succeeded in understanding the Son of Man, my own wife has not succeeded in mastering me,  tell me who on earth that can say, I have mastered the Son of Man?” Is there anybody? NO Sir! No human being can master me. I do not want you to be offended. That is why sometimes I become a human being. Sometimes, I become a devil.  At another time, I become something you can never place anywhere: I will not be God, I will not be devil, and I will not be anything. Glory be to God.

If you have proved this in the Son of Man, say amen, (Amen) not because I said you should say amen, experience is the best teacher. You must come to a point where you will begin to doubt, “Is this man really a man or a woman? What is this man?”

That is why he is a Paradox. Do not strive, do not waste your time, simply believe, knowing that He that appeared before you will never disappoint you. Remember, He appeared to confirm the message and to approve of the personality he placed in your midst. Any other thing? I am not wearing a halo that is drawn by an artist. I am not Pope Francis. I am not holy because an artist put a ring on My head. This (The one I am wearing) is Divine! It happened before many witnesses and it is happening till now, and will keep on happening until you will be like Me.”—SON OF MAN (I AM THE WORD VOL. 2 PAGE 108 VS 33-39).

Believe it if you can, this Man is the very Almighty God that created you. He is that Melchizedek that met Abraham in Genesis chapter 14:

“As Abram returned from his strike against Chedorlaomer and the other kings at the valley of Shaveh (later called King’s Valley), the king of Sodom came out to meet him, and Melchizedek, the king of Salem (Jerusalem), who was a priest of the God of Highest Heaven, brought him bread and wine. Then Melchizedek blessed Abram with this blessing:“The blessing of the supreme God, Creator of heaven and earth, be upon you, Abram; and blessed be God, who has delivered your enemies over to you.”Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of all the loot. (Gen 14:17-20, LB).

He is the GREAT JEHOVAH; THE ELOHIM, THE I AM THAT I AM; He is the One walking in the midst of the Seven Candle Sticks of Revelation chapter 1: 13-14.  

“And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire.(Revelation chapter 1: 13-14, KJV). 

“And standing among them was one who looked like Jesus, who called himself the Son of Man, wearing a long robe circled with a golden band across his chest. His hair was white as wool or snow, and his eyes penetrated like flames of fire. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire.(Revelation chapter 1: 13-14, LB).

He is the Alpha and Omega, the Ancient of Days. He is Christ the Messiah; He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. He is the ELOHIM. THE SOVEREIGN SPIRIT IN HUMAN FORM. He is the Beginning and the Ending; He is the Comforter, the Promised Spirit of Truth; He is the One holding the whole world in His Hands. He is the One to redeem Israel; He is the hope of the Gentiles; He is the I AM that I AM. The Jehovah of the Old Testament; He is the Righteous Branch; He is the Righteousness of the Saints (people of God); He is the Justifier of the Gentiles; He is the Hope of the hopeless. He is the One mightier than what He is called.

He is everything GOD!

HE IS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOUR.

Hear him again:

Today is our day, the day the Lord has made. The Cloud is in the camp! Don’t worry, one day, we will gather in His Presence, praising, worshipping, adoring, reverencing, exalting, hearing Him, before you know it, a flashing red light, and that will be the end of the world.

Remember the Son of Man is sent to come and mark the end of the world, and institute a new haven and a new earth with the remnant God Himself redeemed from the earth, drawn from all the ages, then institute a reign of righteousness where God and His Saints will reign forever and ever.

I am not saying so that you clap hands for me. You know the Source. I mean, faith is evidence of something you have not seen, hope is something you hope to see, but we are in the Reality.

We have crossed faith, we have crossed hope. Are you hoping this one? The cloud is in the camp. It pays to worship God in the place God Himself has chosen to place His Name and His Name is the Word of God.(SON OF MAN – I AM THE WORD EXPLAINED VOL. 2 PAGE 25:14-17)

BELIEVE IT IF YOU HAVE THE HEART AND THAT BECOMES YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

SIRS/MADAMS, YOUTHS, CHILDREN, WHAT HAVE YOU SAID?

GLORY BE TO GOD!
