THE NTRODUCTION, VOLUME 1 Preached on 20th March, 1998 At THE
HOUSEHOLD OF GOD ONITSHA By APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN © BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY
WORLD-WIDE
WHAT
TIME IS IT Church? (1)
What time is it Church?
This matter is as clear as the day! What a pitiable condition we are
in! The
whole religious societies in the world have fornicated with her.
2.
What time are we in? Let Me just show you what is going on
now. You will know what is happening.
3.
Do you know that Roman Catholic has completely removed the
name “Christ”? In all their Churches now, they have replaced Jesus with Pope.
Maybe you have not heard it?
4.
You know, I am living very close to Block Rosary gathering!
All their songs, they say “Pope.” All their songs! Where they cannot put pope,
they put Virgin Mary: “A virtuous mother, good mother,” this and that.
5.
Now, Onitsha women will go out and pray this night. That
means, something great is happening. At that Holy Trinity, it was highly
impossible for people not to be there. There is something we are sharing. There
is something we are giving out to people.
6.
What do you think? It is another way of bowing down. The
Pope, this man has exalted himself above all things. And now, to those people,
they are the ruler of the whole world.
7.
There was a time Jesus the Christ said, “The ruler of this
world is coming but he has no part in me.” He is actually coming but he has not
part in me.
8.
Chinelo, have you seen where your heart has been going to?
You cannot know more Catholicism than the pope. Can you? I say that you cannot
know catholic practices more than the pope. You cannot be more Catholic than
the pope.
9.
Can a man be more Catholic than the pope? You can’t be
more Anglican than the Arch Bishop of Canterbury. The matter is as clear as the
day. No wonder nobody can be more godly than Christ. The way you are shouting, you
are making a hell of noise.
10.
If we have no respect for you because of where you are
heading to, are we afraid of you? Who are you? I am now here to capture the Son
of Perdition. Read your Bible. The son of perdition was referred to Judas.
11.
The Son of Perdition is one who allowed himself to be
entered into by Satan. Satan entered into Judas. Judas became Satan’s
incarnate. Judas became Satan in the form of a human being. Jesus the Christ called
him the Son of Perdition.
12.
Another Son of Perdition is the antichrist whom the Lord
will destroy with the sword of His mouth. Not with bullet. And you know the Sword.
You know what sword is? Coming out of His mouth? Not physical sword but the
WORD.
13.
Just like the angel who will carry long trumpet in his
mouth and will be flying all over the world blowing in the air.
14.
Such preaching is only fit for ignorant people or
children. Like Paul Nweke was telling his members recently. One young man was
talking.
15.
He said, “The man told us that they have seen the beast. He
has human face with long tail like dragon. The tail is full of scorpion. The
tail has eyes.”
16.
Look at what somebody is teaching. Yet, he was the same
one that told them that the Mark of the Beast is computer. That it has 666.
17.
That led to My neighbour to return one packet of sugar
they bought. It had 666 on it. The wife
ordered the husband to return it saying it is the Mark of the Beast. People are
blind! Today, it is no longer computer; it is dragon with long tail having
scorpions with eyes.
18.
Dragon means nothing but power. Lion means nothing but
authority. Lion is a symbol. Beast means a man without human reasoning.
19.
There is a way a human
being will behave, you call him a beast. Somebody who behave very rashly and senselessly.
An irrational human being is a beast. Don’t look at monkey and chimpanzee.
20.
I will show you scriptures but let us look into the
society we are in. But why did this man choose Nigeria as his place of visit towards
the end of the year or the age, why has he chosen Nigeria?
21.
Why not another nation? What is good in Nigeria? What is
attracting him to Nigeria? Nigeria is the giant of Africa. He knows what he is
doing. He has been to Togo, he has been to Nairobi too. Today it is Nigeria.
22.
Why not go to Egypt? Didn’t he see Libya, Sudan? I mean,
trouble zones! Why is he avoiding there? Has he not brought Muslims into WCC?
He should go and move them. Because he knows all Muslims are Roman Catholics.
He has no problem with them again because they have been one from the very
beginning.
23.
I will keep on telling you this story until I go back to
the Bible. Then there, we look into certain things.
24.
If we do not gather this day, we may not have the
opportunity to gather here again. So why we have the time, let us mean
business.
25.
Why is this man coming to Nigeria at this time? Who has
escaped from his hand? Who has escaped from the hand of this man? You know
people think worshipping him means bringing fowl and goat.
26.
Do you know that our Head of States has started
worshipping the man? Do you know that all the Head of States, presidents, prime
Ministers in the world are worshipping this man? What did you give God that
made God severe you from this man?
27.
You see why God’s anger is always hot? That upon all
people that are on earth, you are the only people God called His own. And that
is why He can never live to see you fornicate with any group.
28.
God can never live seeing any of us fornicating with any
group. I don’t care the name of that group.
29.
Watch what happened that day. They were making their
preparation and we are also making our own preparation.
30.
Unfortunately our book didn’t come out before the man came.
I was thinking the book could have been circulated. Many forces acted on the
book. Even till this night, we have not printed that book.
31.
Satan went to the people that are typesetting it and they
lost interest in the job. One barrister ran mad there yesterday with brother
Onyema concerning all we are writing. But God took control of everything.
32.
Whether he comes and goes away or not, the publication
will still be in print. But I know it will not save anybody. Many have already
taken their mark and it is impossible to wipe off the mark. Amen.
2
THE REVELATION OF THE BEAST (1)
Let Me read some
scriptures concerning the man. I will still come back.
2.
Revelation 13 verse 1- “And I stood upon the sand of the
sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns,
and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
3.
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his
feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the
dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
4.
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death;
and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
5.
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the
beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, who is like unto the beast? Who
is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking
great things and blasphemies;…”
6.
If you go into the Acts of the Apostles, there was a man
that was worshipped like this. One day, he was trying to make research whether
the promised Messiah had come. Who was the man? Herod! That man was a beast
also.
7.
I say before God, he was a beast. Jesus the Christ called
him a fox. Is a fox not a beast? It is a beast!
8.
I want you to come closer to the revelation of that beast.
All the animals God used in describing the man’s deeds or his stature, those
animals are lower, lower animals.
9.
They are all beasts.
Leopard, dragon and so on, they are all beasts. And you know what “sea” is all
about. Sea means multitude of people.
10.
And he was wounded.
And it was rumoured that the man has died. A little while, he lived. And people
wondered.
11.
There is no place in the history of the world that the
pope is being shot more than this. No pope in the history of mankind has
received gunshots more than this present pope.
12.
I want to show you something as we continue. I will show
you one beast that rose up alone and did great havoc to the Church of God. Although
he died, he still came back again. And that beast was Caesar Nero.
13.
He rose up in the days of the popes. There has never been
any time blood was shed in the Christendom more than the day of the Pope.
14.
Caesar Nero gave power to the pope because he was the
power behind the states. The states backed the Roman Inquisition. The Bible
said that the Church used the power of the states to exterminate Christians in
Rome, Italy, France and Spain. Ejected them from their homes and replaced them
with known Catholics.
15.
Caesar Nero is not alive but the spirit is very much
alive. For nobody can speak against Karol J. Wojtyla, which is John Paul II. John
Paul II is the present Caesar Nero. The first beast that came from Rome was Caesar
Nero.
16.
You will see the second beast also. They have the same
spirit of the first beast.
17.
“And there was given unto him a mouth
speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue
forty and two months.
18.
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to
blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it
was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power
was given him over all kindred’s, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell
upon the earth shall worship him,…”
19.
Shall! Future tense! He was given power over all nations,
tongues and kindred. Brethren, is it not fulfilling to the letter? All shall
worship him.
20.
“…And all that dwell upon the earth shall
worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain
from the foundation of the world.
21.
If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into
captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be
killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. And I
beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a
lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first
beast before him,…”
22.
Did you notice what is happening here? I told you that the
first beast that rose out of Rome was Caesar Nero and his target was to wear
all the saints of God out.
23.
Look at the second beast; it is now coming with the nature
of the lamb. He didn’t come perfectly like Caesar Nero. He came like a lamb.
Nobody was able to detect him.
24.
The Bible said, “He begins to exercise the same power,
having the same spirit like the first beast.”
25.
“…And I beheld another beast coming up out of
the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he
exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth
and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was
healed.
26.
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come
down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that
dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in
the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they
should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did
live.
27.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast,
that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would
not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
28.
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor,
free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of
the beast, or the number of his name.
29.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the
number of the beast: for it is the number of a man;”
30.
Count! From history, we could trace that Caesar Nero whose
number was 666: “Let him that has
understanding count the number of the beast for it is the number of a man.” The
Bible said, “Count.” In other words, arithmetic is involved.
31.
If you read it in Amplified, it says “calculate the
numerical number.” Calculate! We have to sit down and do the arithmetic.
Whatever it gives you, you will know the person by that thing. And it is no
other person but the man referred to as the VICAR (OF CHRIST). You know him
very well.
32.
In Catholic canon law, a vicar is the representative of any
ecclesiastic entity. It says, they worship him as God. He takes all the honour
due to God. He goes about claiming to be the Almighty. They say he is coming
from heaven and they will receive him at Oba in Anambra State. But we thank God
they are not seeing him. He is god to the world.
33.
We have our God. Tonight is our night. The same way we are
sitting down here, so the Cathedral at Holy Trinity has been filled for the
past three weeks by day and by night. Light has never die off there. All
filling stations in Onitsha, by now are no longer selling fuel.
34.
Go there, they will tell you that Roman Catholic has paid
in advance. What will you do? You go away. They are in control. Rome is in
control. The only people they are not controlling are the Bride. Amen.

THE REVELATION OF THE BEAST (2)
Revelation 17 verse 1
“And
there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with
me, saying unto me, come here; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great
whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2.
With whom the kings of the earth have committed
fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the
wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the
wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast,…”
3.
You know what woman is?
4.
“…So he carried me away in the spirit into the
wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of
names of blasphemy,…”
5.
Full of names of blasphemy. That woman is full of names of
blasphemy. That woman is no other woman but Roman Catholic. She is full of
names of blasphemy. If you have known Roman Catholic doctrine, happy are you. When
you hear in the prayer, what you will be hearing is blasphemous names.
6.
That woman is full names of blasphemy. You can hardly hear
Christ in their mouth. To them, they are rating the mother even higher. They
have not given one-tenth of the worship to Joseph. But I thank God it is not
the Blessed Virgin Mary but Roman Catholic Virgin Mary.
7.
That woman is full of blasphemy. From all the scriptures
in the Bible you see Roman Catholic is fitting in. I am not talking of their Basilica.
8.
Do you know that Basilica is the city of seven hills? How
many knows that? Before they call it Basilica, it was called the city on the
seven hills before it was ever called Basilica. I will nail this thing down so
much until real enmity is between them and Sister Chinaza. She is the only
person that is creating confusion and she doesn’t have sufficient reasons for
that.
9.
Because if she has sufficient reason, your mind can never
go back there anymore; because Rome is the home of idolatry. Check all
Pentecostals, they have joined. To show you they have joined, if you go to main
market, what is the general worship?
10.
Everybody in the Main Market worship Virgin Mary. If you
are keeping quiet, are you not joining? A type of prayer, nobody will talk. You
are just going about. You have joined!
11.
Is it not because of that prayer you stopped doing what
you are doing? Because the thing is becoming a big thing in the main market. It
is becoming a daily practice.
12.
For in the day of the prayer, you use microphone. Roman
Catholic will pray, everybody will say amen. This time around, they clap hands
and sing praise. Main market is closed all, in the name of Jesus.
13.
“…So he carried me away in the spirit into the
wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names
of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
14.
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,
and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her
hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:…”
15.
If you want to see golden thing, go to Holy Trinity. You
want to see precious stones, go there. I am telling you the truth. Roman Catholic,
there is one they normally carry when they make it like this, the bell will
make grin. All heads bow.
16.
When we were there, there is one they called precious stone.
They said they built it like golden cup; they used to cover it with white
cloth. They said it contains late bones of saints. When they will be moving,
the man will be carrying the thing. Somebody will carry bell and ring it grin,
grin.
17.
Every kind of idolatrous practice! There is one they used
to carry, well decorated, an idol. If you look all, there is none of their
practices you can find in the Bible.
18.
In other words, Roman Catholic has turned the whole world
upside down. The whole world has become idolaters because of Roman Catholic.
And they can never compromise. But the Church went further to compromise.
19.
When Anglican was leaving Roman Catholic, they introduced the
Creed. They introduced chaplet (prayer beads). They didn’t drop all their
practices. They carry Bible, preach Bible but remained there. It is a horrible
thing!
20.
They made it compulsory that everyone must buy their
cloth. If you are a reverend father in Roman Catholic, you must buy their
cloth. You are a mother; you must buy their cloth. They are all together.
21.
While they are at new market road, they go to market. If
you don’t buy it, you are not going to Church on Sunday to see the pope because
the pope is celebrating mother’s day. Mother’s day celebration will be on
Sunday. All of them are going to see the pope.
22.
Let Me tell you, the world is in trouble! There is a
system now that is coming but it is taking time. Every attempt is aiming at
decreeing out the Word of God. And people are following them.
23.
See the way young, young men, young, young women, the
other day they were moving and I was heading somewhere. I never knew that the
so-called D.P.O was there, where they were having vigil.
24.
They will be there till day break. There is no place where
you will never see something going on there without some activities. Full of
activities. That place is a place of fools of all fools.
25.
I will say something. I am not preaching; we are just
reading scriptures. “And the woman was arrayed in purple and
scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a
golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
26.
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON
THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
27.
And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints,
and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:…”
28.
Drunken! Tell Me, since the history of mankind, whether
there has been any group, any religious group that have spilled the blood of the
saints since the world began. I am using “since the world began.” They are ready
to kill at all times. What we are saying here, we dare not say it out there.
29.
Because their own religion permits them to kill. But our
own doesn’t permit us to kill. She is drunk with the blood of the saints –
martyrs. Blood intoxicate them. Blood intoxicates them like wine.
30.
Somebody who fabricated a bomb and killed over 6 million
Jews, is he afraid of blood again? Killing has become his way of life. I mean
as a human being, if you look at his face, check his age, not younger than
Jesus Christ.
31.
Then, the question arise, what did this man do that
warranted him to be killed? Because I was asking the question the other time,
do you know what I was told? That he spearheaded the spreading of Roman
Catholicism in the riverine area. No Roman Catholic in our midst, in Aguleri.
32.
Don’t say “eh”, it has become their habit. After killing
the saints, he granted them indulgence. Let us continue. I want to arrive at
something.
33.
And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints,
and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:
34.
and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. And
the angel said unto me, wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the
mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carried her, which hath the seven
heads and ten horns…”
35.
You know what that means? The beast carrying the woman.
The woman is sitting on top of a beast. And you know the beast, you know the
woman. Who is carrying Roman Catholic upon her? The beast must carry the woman
about. God have mercy on us.
36.
The woman is sitting on top of a beast and that beast has
power like a dragon to carry that woman about. The beast will come to Nigeria
carrying the woman also.
37.
Suffering will increase in
Nigeria. It will be so terrible that people will park away to their villages.
If you look at everything, the man is behind the trouble we are passing through but it won’t last too long.
38.
“…The beast that thou sawest was, and is not;
and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they
that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book
of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was,
and is not, and yet is.
39.
And here is the
mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman
sitteth…”
40.
Can you see the description now? Here is the mind that has
wisdom. Let me tell you, we are with God. Here is the mind that has wisdom, the
woman, the seven horn or seven heads, let us read it there.
41.
“And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The
seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.”
42.
The seven heads represent seven mountains on which the
woman sitteth. I told you that Rome is the city of seven hills. That is the
first hill of St. Peter’s Basilica. A city on seven hills.
43.
Are we to search for the woman again? We have seen the
headquarters from there she is operating in the beast carrying horn. Glory be
to God.
44.
God is truth. The truth is that God has blinded them so
that their willful rejection of the truth shall not be forgiven. They willfully
rejected the truth so God can never forgive them again. Because you are
obeying, God will keep on opening your eyes. Does it need any apology?
45.
If you love Me, keep My commandments. If he has love, can
he order the killing of the saints? Is there any sin he committed? So, he will go
ahead preaching peace, peace, peace. And the world will be following him saying
“Peace, peace, peace.” Before they know it, sudden destruction will come upon
them. Amen.
46.
“And there are seven kings: five are fallen,
and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue
a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eight and he
is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.”
47.
Who knows the history of the popes? It is contained even
in our book. Trace the history of the popes let us know where this man can be
found.
48.
If you read the history of the popes, you will notice that
this man comes at the eight. Just read the history of the popes. We are in for
trouble.
49.
See all the popes that appeared on the scene making
proclamation against this beast, count them. All that have come with this beast’s
nature, count them. All that have appeared solemnly for Catholicism count them.
50.
If God is going to smite him with the sword of His mouth,
God is going to use a man. I say God is going to use a man to reveal this man I
am seeing. He will use that man to deal with him. He will use that man to show
the whole world the man that has troubled everybody.
51.
I believe there is going to be a
man that will tell the world, “behold, the antichrist is here look at him.” And
he traced it from the SCRIPTURES; show the whole world why they shouldn’t
receive him. God must be in a man to do His work.
52.
“…And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten
kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour
with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength
unto the beast.
53.
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall
overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are
with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
54.
That is what I want to strike. Those that are with the
Lamb are called, chosen and faithful. Did he say he will overcome us? The Lamb
will overcome. This is My consolation. The Church must overcome. Amen.

WHAT
TIME IS IT Church? (2)
Revelation chapter 18
verse 1- “And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven,
having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2.
And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon
the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the
home of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.” Amen.
3.
Has it not confirmed it? Glory be to God.
4.
“For all nations have drunk of the wine of
the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed
fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the
abundance of her delicacies.
5.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of
her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not
of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered
her iniquities.”
6.
Verse 9 “And the kings of the earth, who have
committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and
lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, standing afar off
for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that
mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
7.
And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over
her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: The merchandise of gold, and
silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and
silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and
all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble.”
8.
If you want to know what the Bible is describing, go to
Holy Trinity or go to St. Mary’s hall, every Tuesday, see what is displayed on
the main road there.
9.
Every Tuesday, from nine o’clock in the morning, pass
through Awka Road, turn your eyes towards that cathedral there, see what is
displayed on the main road. There is no type of ornament you will never see. That
is why they believe anybody that attends Roman Catholic is dead.
10.
Brethren, are we not a blessed people? They are gathering
all of them together, taking one name. You are either a catholic or a child of
God.
11.
Now, relax your mind. My time is not yet come. Guide Me
correctly. 10 minutes to 11. I now invite the pastor to come and bless you. I
am coming back again. I have told the stories; I don’t want to open the seal.
Amen.

THE HOUR WE ARE LIVING IN
M
|
atthew 16 verse 2-3 “He
answered and said unto them, when it is evening, ye say, it will be fair
weather: for the sky is red.
2.
And in the morning, it will be foul weather today: for the
sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky;
but can ye not discern the signs of the times?” KJV.
3.
No man knoweth the time but Him. What time is it Church?
No man can answer this question but the man that asked the question. He will
answer the question in the way everybody will understand. For if we cannot
understand, we will not know what is required of us.
4.
There is something I want to tell you, any day we have a
program here, as many of us that are independent, we should do everything we
are doing on time, we should beef up our faith in prayer. Prepare ourselves
before coming to Fellowship.
5.
And as many of us
that are under somebody we should endeavor to be released on time to prepare
ourselves before coming here. You won’t know the meaning until you start
practicing it. I am telling you the truth.
6.
Many will break loose from their employer to go home to do
carnal work. You are guilty because you didn’t achieve the purpose before you
left your office.
7.
Any day we have programmed to be here, programme yourself
very well so that you have some time to pray. When we come here, you can hook
up in the spirit. Amen.
8.
The scripture we considered, I will attempt to answer many
questions today. I mean the question of your heart. The Lord will help Me trace
it as it affects the individual. Nobody will raise up his or hand but I will
bring the question in your heart out because I want to remove every doubt in
your heart.
9.
Every confusion in your heart must be removed this moment.
That is why I am here otherwise; I should have been sitting down on my seat.
10.
Jerusalem is My hometown, I cannot afford to leave
Jerusalem. I know Jerusalem has their own problem, but that will not scare Me
away.
11.
They can punish their Prophet, punish the Apostle, attempt
to kill Him but that will not scare me. My love for Jerusalem will not fail. I
have many reasons why I made that statement.
12.
The hour we are
living in is a delicate one. I am not going to evangelize it. Let Me show you scriptures
so that you will know what I want to do.
13.
Follow Me to St. Matthew gospel chapter 13 verse 35
through 36 only. That is exactly what I want to do. “That it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will
utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
14.
Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the
house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, declare unto us the parable of
the tares of the field.” KJV.
15.
I am here this day that it might come to pass that which
is written in the Holy Scripture that I will utter deep things that are kept
secret from the whole world since the world began. And that is why I cannot harbor any stranger in
our midst.
16.
It is of the same reason I welcome our former madam here
Joshua. Sister Joshua, between madam and Sister Joshua, which one do you like?
She answered “sister.”
17.
She loves sister more than madam. Are you ready to behave
like a sister? Are you ready? I mean not only in the home but also in the
market.
18.
There was a day I saw you at the market when you were
talking, I saw you people talking there. I saw our sister coming out doing her mouth
like this. Anybody that pass, she will say, ‘come and buy, come and buy. It is
good for you, it is good for you.’ Madam I am calling, I am calling you.
19.
They don’t know you. You will say, “Customer, why do you
look at me like that? Are we quarrelling?” I don’t know the person and you have
not seen the person before. Sister will come out and be shouting “salute me.”
20.
You will be wondering what is wrong with this people. Why
don’t you keep silent and be there. People that are passing are seeing you.
They know what they need before coming. If you have what they come for, they
will come to you. Shouting does not bring anybody.
21.
I don’t buy anything from such people; I will rather buy
from the quiet ones. If you buy something from such people they will engage you
in talking competition. Real talking competition. I hope you will change this spirit in you
because it is a dangerous spirit.
22.
When I answer the question on the board, everybody here
will be settled. It is a million naira question. Call it the greatest question
of the year or the greatest question of the age.
23.
Let us see that scriptures in another
translation. St. Matthew 13 verse 35 through 36 only. “This was in fulfillment of what
was spoken by the prophet: I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter
things that have been hidden since the foundation of the world.
24.
Then He left the throngs and went into the house. And His
disciples came to Him saying, Explain to us the parable of the darnel in the
field.”
AMP.
25.
St. Luke chapter 12 verse 54-56. “He also said to the crowds of
people, when you see a cloud rising in the west, at once you say, it is going
to rain! And so it does. And when [you see that] a south wind is blowing, you
say, There will be severe heat! And it occurs.
26.
You play-actors (hypocrites)! You know how [intelligently]
to discern and interpret and prove the looks of the earth and sky; but how is
it that you do not know how to discern and interpret and apply the proof to
this present time?” AMP.
27.
I want everybody to be alert. Jesus the Christ sent the
multitude away, I went to a solitary place, his disciples went to him. He first
of all challenged them, he said, “You are a hypocrite, you are intelligent
enough to discern the weather and predict and it goes accurately.
28.
“When you say it is going to rain, it must surely rain.
When you say it must be strong wind, it must come to pass. With all your
intelligence, why is it that you cannot accurately predict the time you are in?”
29.
Do we have such in our midst today? Do we have hypocrites
here? If by now you are still a hypocrite, if by now you are claiming what you
are not, when will you repent?
30.
I am tempted to ask this question. If there is any brother
or sister in this Church, all heads bow down, all eyes closed. Don’t answer Me
this question hastily.
31.
If there is any brother or sister in this Church, no
matter the age, your fellowship with that person has been severed. Spiritually,
you are not in fellowship with that person, show by raising your hand. All
heads bow down, all eyes closed.
32.
I repeat, check properly. Is there any brother or sister
no matter his or her age, you know you don’t have the right fellowship with the
person in the spirit because fellowship takes place in the spirit.
33.
I am not saying that you should go to the person, I say
show by raising your hands.
34.
God bless you my
brother. God bless you My sister. God bless you. Lift your hand up.
35.
You know those people, if I don’t see your hand up, I will
not take action. I never meant to do this; I don’t know why the spirit is
leading Me this way!
36.
If you know your fellowship with the person has been
severed in the spirit, I don’t ask why? I said show Me your hand. 1, 2, 3, 4,
this hypocrite, are you raising up your hands or not? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
9. Stand up. If you are holding your own, hold it forever.
37.
This night is a different night altogether. I told you, I
gave Myself to prayer concerning today. If you trouble me, My face will be up.
38.
I will call you by your names and I will reveal all your
secrets, because I have given you the opportunity to amend your ways with your
brother, with your sister. You hardened your heart, sat down as if all is well
when all is not well. But I will reveal your secret and show you the way out.
39.
If I don’t send you out, I will lift you up before God and
the Lord Himself will expose you in such a terrible way that you cannot wriggle
out again. Everybody will hear about your deeds, ears will tingle.
40.
The Bible is saying to you, “This hypocrite, you actors,
you could predict everything accurately well but you cannot intelligently,
accurately predict the time you are in. what a horrible condition. That
somebody could come to a point where his life is in danger and he doesn’t know.
41.
If My life is in danger and I don’t know, how can I
escape? If danger is lying ahead of Me and I cannot see it because of spiritual
blindness, how can I escape?
42.
Save yourself the agony of going to hell. Hold nothing from
one another. No man will swallow one another. We are brethren.
43.
The only thing you can do is to quarrel me, you cannot
swallow me. So for that, I will tell you all I have in My heart. The way I am
thinking towards you, I will say everything to you. You are not going to
swallow me.
44.
All those still outside, I pity you. I pity you. Those
that are still harboring iniquity in them, I pity you. What will it profit you
if tomorrow or next the Lord wraps up everything and there is no room for
forgiveness again, what will it profit you? You labour in vain all these years.
Those outside, help yourself and help others.
45.
The most unfortunate thing I have seen in this faith, when
you want to make things right, you start making thing wrong.
46.
Remember, when the Son of Man shall appear, He can never
take the chaff into the bag. It is impossible! He must remove all provocative
things.
47.
How many will like Me to talk to you in privacy? Do you
know I have reasons why I appear here from time to time? I reserve the right to
stay in My rented apartment and meet only those that I want to meet. Entertain
those I want to entertain, tell them what I want to tell them.
48.
All I have to do is to reach communities through their
community leaders. You know there are community leader? When it reaches your
community leader, he carries his gong to spread the message.
49.
There is only one reason why I find it very difficult to
give a message here. It is because of fanaticism. I could have allowed us to continue
from the way we have been operating.
50.
Dr. Igwe, Brother Nnamdi, have you now aligned your
relationship? Brother Joshua, are you hearing what I am saying here?
51.
We can predict the weather very well, perfectly predict
event and they will come to pass. But Christ is saying, “With our intelligence,
we cannot predict the time we are living in.”
52.
And the question before us is: What time is it Church? What
time are we living in? This question must be answered in this message from the
Holy Scriptures.
53.
Let Me turn tO THE other way now.
There must be a man of righteousness for us to know who the man of sin is.
Without a man of righteousness, the man of sin cannot be identified because
where there is no law, there is no sin.
54.
THUS, it REQUIRES a bad man to
know who a good man is. If we don’t know a good man, we can hardly identify a
bad man.
55.
We know a good man by his fruits.
We know a bad man by his fruits. We know the spirit that is in my by his
action. If the action is good, we will say that God is in this person. If the
action is devilish, we say that Satan is in the man.
56.
looking at the message we Have
received so far, can anybody say that this message is not pointing to us
towards righteousness and holy living?
57.
Is this gospel not PATTERNING
after godliness and righteousness? Because I believe if this message is a special
message patterning after the world, the world would have followed it.
58.
If we are saying what others are
saying, behaving the way they are behaving, accommodating what they are
accommodating, don’t you think the world would have followed us?
59.
If the man that is having the
message of godliness and righteousness is the man of sin, what are we to call a
man with all deceivableness of unrighteousness, what shall we call him? Are we
to call him A man of God?
60.
At least, I have given you the
nuggets that make you understand the message we are in. The message you are in
is something you can prove by yourself using your Bible, and the spirit of God
in you bearing witness that you are not deceived by anybody.
61.
That is why we have not used
sweet words to deceive anybody IN THIS FAITH. We are not preaching with respect
of persons. With every amount of boldness and courage we declare the whole
truth not minding who is concernED! We have preached things against ourselves.
62.
If by now you have not proved for yourself with the spirit
of God guiding you, what this faith stands for, you are a follow, follow. The
moment you start approving this faith, know where he is heading to. Separate it
from any other faith in the world. Make comparison, there is no way you can
make it.
63.
The problem of many here is that they are just following
for following sake because we are saying it is truth and the person says, “amen.”
They have not settled down to prove this truth. I have proved this truth, I am
sharing a testimony.
64.
Our former minister and Brother Weston went to our sister
Pauline the wife of Brother Thomas who is virtually new in the faith.
65.
He went to the woman intending to preach the woman out of
the faith by telling the woman that this faith is devilish, that the hand of
God is not there. That we do not know scriptures.
66.
The woman told Weston to prove it. Weston said, “If God
has come down, why are we still suffering? Why has He not wiped tears from your
eyes? For that is what God said He would do. That He will wipe tears from our
eyes and we will not labour again.
67.
The sister said, “Is it now that you know? If you are
sorrowing, I am not sorrowing. If you are having tears in your eyes, I am not
having tears in my eyes. If you are still laboring, I am not laboring.”
68.
She went further, “Weston, if they were in error maybe it
was before I came in. But when I came in, all they have taught me, they are all
scriptural. Every interpretation, are all scriptural. I have never seen any
single error in their doctrine. Talk of their wife, they are perfect.
69.
She said, “Weston, can you talk about your wife? Weston, I have heard about your problem, how
you were excommunicated. Why not repent?”
70.
Weston turned round said, “You are a wise woman.” And
then, shamefully, he left the woman.
71.
If you know Weston, you will know that it is not easy for
a woman to resist him. See how cunning he did it? Did the Bible say when God
comes He will wipe off tears from our eyes.
72.
In other words, the person is in millennium. Have we ever
preached that we have entered millennium? Our sister understood him
immediately. Why? She has sat down to scrutinize the faith by using the Bible
and the spirit of God guiding her. She discovered that everything has been done
scripturally. That if there is problem anywhere, it is the individual and not
in the faith.
73.
If there is a problem in the
faith, that problem is in the individual who is claiming that he is in this
faith.
74.
Because of the faith, this
message is immaculate white. This message is as naked as the day. It is a
message nobody will deceive you with. All you need is to remove the stick from
your eyes. When the scale FALLS off, you can then probe into the scriptures.
75.
At Nsukka, brethren came with testimonies. Those people
that rejected the truth are now coming for the truth. Some of them are going to
Nsukka, while some are coming to Onitsha.
76.
The man that said I should come has now volunteered to
come. What is his testimony? He said, “He has gone to the fellowship at Nsukka,
their life, their orderliness, he said, it is perfect. That he is of the
opinion that it must be the Almighty God to keep a people in this way.
77.
Concerning the message, he said all his years carrying Bible
in spite of his first degree that he has never come across a man that has
spoken like this. That man must be God in human form. Then he sends a message
that he will be coming anytime from now.
78.
Another one is called Chukwuma maybe by 16th
April, he will come. God knows what He is doing. Look at the way God has
penetrated Nsukka Campus. Many lecturers are coming. They are demanding for the
books. Brethren have told them to come to Onitsha. And they are saying they are
coming after their exams. That they will not afford to perish when the boat is
still on the land.
79.
So, I am trying to help your faith that the earlier you
settle down, use your Bible to verify every truth we have told you in the Church.
The earlier you do it, the better for you if you have not done it before.
80.
If I want eternal life and that eternal life has been
given to me, the road has been shown to me, if I perish, I will blame myself. That
goes to show that I am not serious.
81.
I want somebody to rise up and challenge this message one
day. Have we not printed many books that were distributed worldwide? Why is it
that nobody has risen to challenge this message? Could it be that they are
fearing us?
82.
We have even confronted many I mean face to face. And at
the end, they will run away. Some will say they are coming but they will not
come. I have never received any report that a brother went to war and was
conquered. I have not heard it, not in this faith.
83.
Even the most
feeble one in our midst, he is stronger than the General Superintendent of any Church.
The weakest woman here, see Madam Joshua, she is the weakest. She is stronger
than Kumuyi. If she can open her heart and believe the scripture, she can make
Kumuyi to look like a heathen. By this, we know we are in the right way.
84.
Then, you come to our personAL
conducts because any doctrine that cannot regulate your life is a useless
doctrine. That is where the greatest problem lies.
85.
The reason why the message has
not reflected in the life of many is because of insincerity. The summary of the
problem is insincerity.
86.
People give the impression that all is well when all is
not well. You see them putting on smile, using false smile to cover hatred.
87.
If you die in that condition, do you think there is any
remedy? Any remedy? Anybody that is not saved in this faith committed suicide.
88.
Because in this faith, God will always make a way of
escape. Yet, people harden their heart. Amen.

WHAT
TIME IS IT Church? (3)
Let us go further. We
can predict the weather but the time we are living in, we cannot predict. So, I
am going to speak on very deep things.
2.
Matthew 13 verse 35 through 38. “That it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will
utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
3.
Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the
house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, declare unto us the parable of
the tares of the field.”
4.
They came to him in privacy, declare unto us the parable
of the tares of the field.
5.
Matthew 24 verse 3. “And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the
disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be?
and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”
KJV.
6.
In another private place his disciples came to him
privately saying, “Tell us when all these
things shall take place. What is the time of your coming? And what is the time
of the end of the world?” Another question.
7.
“Tell us, when shall all these things be and what shall be
the time of thy coming and of the end of the world?”
8.
You see, it is very clear that the world will come to an
end one day and nobody knows that day except God. Christ being God, He holds
the answer.
9.
These are deep things that are hidden from human beings
from the foundation of the world only to be revealed this moment to the sons
and daughters of God. If only you can be patient with Him. If I notice you are
impatient, I will cut it off. I will give you time to pray.
10.
Your prayer is useless until you
know what you are praying for. You cannot pray UNTIL there is need for praying.
And the need for prayer cannot arrive until you have been taught.
11.
Somebody has been bringing the revelation but you tear it
up. You need prayer. There is need for prayer.
12.
Another person when Daniel was put in the lion’s den,
Daniel discovered that his life was in danger; by revelation, Daniel had to
pray. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego at the same time also.
13.
At another time Daniel read from the book of Jeremiah and
saw that they had already spent all their time in Babylon that the time for
leaving Babylon has come, he began to pray by revelation.
14.
I want to bring everybody to that revelation where you
will know the time and then know what is expected of you. Otherwise, you will
not know. You won’t know when it is time for evangelism and know the time for
prayer.
15.
Follow Me patiently. I have often told our sisters that
are pregnant that they should cheer up. Not even one will perish because of
pregnancy. On the day of catching away of the saints, God will catch you up
with your babies. You will deliver your baby there without any problem.
16.
Jeremiah 16 verse 8-16. “Thou shalt not also go into the
house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink. For thus saith the
LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this
place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of
gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
17.
And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this
people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, wherefore hath the LORD
pronounced all this great evil against us?
Or what is our iniquity? Or what
is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God? Then shalt thou say
unto them,
18.
Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the LORD, and
have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them,
and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law; and ye have done worse than
your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil
heart, that they may not hearken unto me:
19.
Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land
that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other
gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour. Therefore, behold, the
days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that
brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
20.
But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of
Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven
them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their
fathers.”
21.
Verse 17. “For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they
are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.”
KJV. Amen.
22.
You notice that they are going to be hunt out and push out
everyone of them for the face of the Lord is seeing all of them and what they
are doing.
23.
Jeremiah chapter 31 verse 8. “Behold, I will bring them from
the North Country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them
the blind and the lame,…” the blind and the lame. “…the woman with child and her
that travaileth with child together:…”
24.
Even somebody in the labour room will not be left behind.
Pregnant sisters will not be left behind.
25.
“…a great company shall return thither.” KJV.
26.
Notice what is going on. A gathering is going on in the Gentiles.
A gathering is also taking place in the Jews. My topic is What time is it
Church?
27.
I am trying to attempt this question, I will link it up
with number two question the Lord helping Me. And I cannot answer it with My
human brain. By the unction of the Holy Spirit, I will line it up in the
scripture.
28.
A gathering together of God’s people is taking place in
the Jewish land. A gathering together of God’s people in taking place in the Gentile
land. The two gatherings are going together hand by hand.
29.
Israel that was scattered all over the world are now going
back as a nation to form the Common Wealth of Israel, preparatory for their
Jubilee and for their Sabbath. Israel of God are gathering in the Gentile as a Church
preparatory for the catching away. I don’t know whether you are catching what I
am saying.
30.
Here in the Gentile, two gatherings are going on at the
same time. Gathering of the tares and gathering of the wheat. There also in the
Jewish land, two gatherings are going together there: The gathering of the real
Jews, those that have been converted in the heart and the gathering of the
false Jews. Those that claim to be Jews but they are not.
31.
I know the gathering of those that say they are Jews but
they are not. But they are rather synagogue of Satan. Thus, when you hear Me
saying “Israel,” I am speaking to Israel of God in the Gentile. When I say “Jew,”
I am referring to the Jewish nation.
32.
What time is it Church? Let us go back to the Bible. Ezekiel
chapter 36 verse 1- “Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the
mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the
LORD:
33.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said
against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:
34.
Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that
ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up
in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:
35.
Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the
Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the
rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are
forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that
are round about;
36.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of
my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all
Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all
their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.
37.
Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say
unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury,
because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:…”
38.
“…Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have
lifted up mine hand, surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear
their shame. But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches,
and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.
39.
For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and
ye shall be tilled and sown: And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of
Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall
be builded:
40.
And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall
increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and
will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am
the LORD.
41.
Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people
Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and
thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men.
42.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; because they say unto you, Thou
land devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations; Therefore thou shalt
devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord GOD.
43.
Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the
heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more,
neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD.
44.
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of
man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their
own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a
removed woman.
45.
Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that
they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted
it: And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the
countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.
46.
And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went,
they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, these are the people of the
LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.
47.
But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of
Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went. Therefore say unto
the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O
house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among
the heathen, whither ye went.
48.
And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned
among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen
shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified
in you before their eyes.
49.
For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you
out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I
sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness,
and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
50.
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I
put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I
will give you an heart of flesh.
51.
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk
in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell
in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will
be your God.
52.
I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I
will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.” KJV.
53.
I want to strike something there. The Lord who scattered
Israel is the Lord who is gathering Israel back. Because of their idolatry,
because of their uncleanliness which they practiced in the land the Lord gave
them, the fury of the Lord was kindled against them, the Lord scattered them
all over the earth.
54.
When they ran to uttermost part of the world, the heathens
where they ran to started mocking the Name of the Lord. They have recognized
the Jews whose God is Jehovah.
55.
They cause the Name of Jehovah to be profane in the land
of the heathens. And the Lord is no longer pleased to see His Name being
blasphemed by the heathens. Thus, the Lord decided to step in not for the sake
of His people but the sake of His Name.
56.
If He should allow them to remain in captivity in all the
heathen land, if He should wait until they will repent by doing good, it will
be impossible. The Lord has decided to step in to redeem His Name.
57.
And the only way He will do it is to prove to the whole
world that He is still the God of the Jews. That the Jewish people still remain
His people. He will take them back to their own land from where He scattered
them.
58.
And there, He will be their God and they will be His
people. The Lord said, “I will sprinkle pure water upon them, wash them off of
all uncleanliness.” Amen.
59.
When the Messiah shall turn to Israel, He shall put away
the transgression of Jacob. Is that not scripture? THERE SHALL COME A DELIVERER
FROM ZION AND SHALL TURN AWAY THE TRANSGRESSION OF JACOB.
60.
He is saving them for His Name sake back to that same land
which He promised to give to their fathers. Today, have we seen them back? Is
it because of their righteousness?
61.
Let us see what will happen to Ephraim. I was reading in
My family before Brother Joseph came in. And He has been coming for some time
now. I showed them where the problem started. I showed them the inheritance of
Dan.
62.
What is more, I showed them where Jacob left Ephraim
without a blessing. Jacob cleverly abandoned Ephraim but blessed Dan. Gave him
a portion but refused to give Ephraim a portion. Let us go to the scripture and
know whether it is true. Amen.
