BEWARE OF REBELLING AGAINST A CONSTITUTED AUTHORITY

1.          Let us go to the Word proper because if I continue to shout, it may mean that I hate you. Even if I hate you, it is My right. It is because you hate the truth. David said, “All that hated the Truth I have hated with perfect hatred and I regard them as my enemies.”

2.          Let us go to the Bible. I want you all to bring your Bibles. All translations
out. Those that would like to read for Me, stay one side. Notably, Bro David Mbah, Ngosike, you are there. Who else? Bro Ifeanyi! Join the force. Pay attention everybody.

3.          If you do not have a Bible, bring your jotters out. All that came from other Local Assemblies take note because I want to kill a spirit that has run into the Flock, anointing people you do not know.

4.          What put Aaron into trouble was because he saw himself as the most vocal person among them. And that put him into trouble. Let Me go to the Scriptures, having introduced Myself and having established some witnesses that there was no time Nsukka flexed muscles against one another in the Fellowship or outside Fellowship. Nobody even pushed hands. But going by the impression created, that was why I said, “Put a box.”

5.           Go through the write-up especially that from Joe Ogbuka’s chambers. I will read the Scriptures so that you know what God said concerning people that fuel crisis and people that put division among Brethren.

6.          Nobody polarized the thing. You were the one that has polarized that polarized situation already. You made matters worse, for they were counting on your education. They were counting on your profession.

7.          And let Me tell you something. I will rather advise Sunny Chukwu to go and enlist for evening studies, to see whether he can read law and become your friend in the chambers. Yes! I know why I am saying it. This is because he exudes the traits of a lawyer, which he cannot even defend. I have had dealings with him.

8.          Let Me correct another impression. We read it as he put it there that I gave him a ministry. The ministry was not mentioned. By day or by night, I never ordained Sunny Chukwu a minister, because I do not do secret ordination. I never for one day laid hand on Sunny Chukwu, saying I am ordaining you one thing or the other.

9.          Sunny Chukwu is an ordinary member like others. What I do to Sunny Chukwu, I do to others. Because he is educated and he is intelligent, he is willing to work. I gave him tapes of Messages to transcribe, the same way I give to others. And while he is doing it, I keep on encouraging him.

10.      If giving you tapes has made you a Minister and it has become a Ministry. It then means I have more than one thousand Ministers in the Faith. May be you do not know that I have people that transcribe Messages more than you. How many do you transcribe in a month? But I have people that are transcribing daily. If there be any other ministry I assigned to you, can you please stand up and declare it.

11.      Brethren, is it a Ministry to transcribe Messages and bring them out from the tapes? Is it a Ministry? Sisters do more than that. May be because I gave My wife the privilege to verify all that we documented. She proof-read the Great Sermon, crosschecking all Scriptures, making sure there was no error. May be she would have ousted Me from the pulpit for giving her such a big Ministry. Whatever you like, you can arrogate to yourself, but has the Son of Man said so to you?

12.      It is just like Brother Joe. As it has always been My manner which he does not know. When you give Me a report concerning what you are witnessing in an individual or your Local Assembly, My question will be, “What have you done? What have you done?” you say you have not done anything, I will command you, “Go there and arrest the situation.”

13.      He gave Me a report about their Fellowship venue. I said that I have heard about it. What have you done?  He pleaded, “My Lord permit me. I will join hands with them. We will get a better place.” I said, “Do it.”

14.      My Lord, “I noticed Nsukka is living in fear. The Brethren are not expressing their love one to another. I do not know the reason why.” I asked him, “Is that your observation? Go and arrest it.” Has it become a Ministry? Has it become a Ministry? Has it become ordination?

15.      I use anybody I want for different purposes. What would happen any day you carry Me in your vehicle? May be you will call the press to come and photograph Me where I am balancing in your vehicle with you and you were driving the Almighty God in your own vehicle. Let them come and see.

16.      It is just like some people will receive My phone call and it becomes the talk of the day. Daddy called  me today. I was working. My phone rang and it was Daddy. Amen. But they do not know that there are some people sleeping with Daddy, eating with Him, having everything with Him.

17.      Just like I am holding Brother Anayo now, it has become a ministry. aaaah! Do you know that The Son of Man held Me and even rubbed My head. It has become a Ministry.

18.      Pastor Dan! Where are you or Bro Loveday? I need some drugs. It has become a ministry. I have ordained him. Do you know that I supply the drugs the Son of Man uses. He calls me. Look at my kai-kai there. That becomes kai-kai supplier. A ministry.

19.      I know for sure that Bro Sunny has been working to please Me quite alright, but he has a wrong motive and he is looking forward to a day I will ordain him either a Teacher, Apostle, Pastor or anything.

20.      With the knowledge he has and the extent he has worked with Me, when he heard about the ordination of Pastors, he thought it was coming to him. Nsukka had their eyes on him. A Brother called me from Nsukka and said that he felt shocked and that Bro Sunny had already prepared his mind that he was mounting the pulpit. And that was after the ordination. God moves in a mysterious way.

21.      The same way Aba told Me they were in trouble because I ordained our Brother Chinemezu Onwudinjo Pastor. All that hated Peter Onwudinjo, they came out. They said, “Now, Chinemezu is the best friend of the father and that the father will be instigating him to violate them, to intimidate and embarrass them, That it is going to be retaliation ministry.”

22.      I kept it to Myself. I did not talk. I wanted the people to go further, before their eyes, his sledge hammer fell on his father, his mother and his senior Brother. He pushed all of them out. They were astonished. All that were outside, he restored, excluding the parents. While they were watching, he hired his house and he is living alone [A student and a worker] to enable him judge matters rightly.

23.      All the tyrants like Pastor Moses, Brother Ifeanyi rose up. He put them out together with their families, insisting that he was prepared to shepherd a flock of two persons than have hundred that do not believe in the Word. The matter came to Me and I stamped My hand, Yes! Yes!

24.      For the fact that there is noise coming from Nsukka, it goes to prove to Me, Bro Chibuzor is doing the work I assigned to him, for there is no way he can do that work without some people revolting. If all of them had kept quiet, I will be querying him of compromise. But seeing that they have revolted and the revolt came from the area I was waiting for, it confirmed that the Pastor was doing the work assigned to him.

25.      When they were complaining from Aba, I was rejoicing that the boy was doing the work I assigned to him. MAY BE YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT A RIGHTEOUS MAN IS AN ABOMINATION TO THE UNGODLY. Now I am going to the pulpit. Let Me stop talking blah blah blah. Let the word talk. I say let the Word talk. LET ME SHOW YOU the WORD AND THEN YOU EAT THE WORD, YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM THE WORD MADE FLESH.

26.      You were quoting Bible for Me. Do not worry. It is Bible versus Bible now. I am speaking to all of you, the entire Bride Worldwide. Make a tape for Me on this. On the topic titled, BEWARE. Beware! Be careful No other title. BEWARE.

27.      Before then, let me ask this question. Ancient men and women, what did the prophet say is the person standing behind the pulpit as the Pastor? “GOD” What? God. What? God. G. O. D.

28.      What did he say about anybody rebelling against his instruction? “Open rebellion against God because he never placed himself there.” You are rebelling, not against him, but against the person that placed him there, and He is ever behind him and you know it not, for you are blind. Amen. I am coming to something. Go to the Scriptures with Me.

29.      1 Thessalonians 2:4 – 10.

30.      “For we speak as messengers from God, trusted by him to tell the truth,...

31.      Did it say messengers from the Devil? Messengers from God. Trusted by who? If I am God, you are My Messengers. Why do you call Me LORD God Almighty and despise My messenger?

32.      They thought I would have consulted them before making My choice. Was it not the crime we committed in Onitsha? When He came down, He made His choice from among us, until the prophecy came from Bro Nnamdi Ogbogu.

33.      All those people, where are they? God pushed them out, for they were unworthy of everlasting life for finding fault with God’s choice of a person because they thought they would be the people. God made his own choice contrary to their own expectations and they died.

34.      And I told you in our Message, “The worst thing that will happen to you will be any day God places your enemy on the pulpit. Somebody whose face you do not want to see and God places him on the pulpit that is the day your obituary is published spiritually.” Amen.

35.      Verse 4: For we speak as messengers from God, trusted by him to tell the truth;...Trusted by God to do what? To tell the truth. You know, Truth is always brief. They gave Me what I call encyclical, but the Pastor in wisdom replied to the two cannon letters.

36.      He replied in few words. This is because, if you are man of God, your words must be few. And they were all direct and cogent. And immediately, the words he put down flashed in the hearts of all. If it never flashed in your heart, it is because the Truth is not in your heart.

37.      Truth gives brightness like the moonlight. Darkness is not found around it. Unbiased comments. Instead of calling any human being as witness, he called the tapes. Why? I have taught him. We are not here to curry anybody’s favour. We are messengers from God trusted by Him to speak the truth.

38.      Verse 4: 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;...

39.      To suit the taste of those who will like to be pampered. “He is insulting us”. These are Sanhedrin’s, Pharisees, Herodias in Nsukka.

40.      Methodists that were accusing Saint Paul of insulting even those that were Apostles before him. And they were telling him how he should use his language. That his language is insultive. These are spirits.

41.      Such people at Nsukka who claim to be elderly people, they were there even when the boy was in his primary school. They can even tell the way he was born and brought up. “Why must he be there? He is insulting us. He does not even respect our ages”. What has your age got to do with the Faith?

42.       for we serve God alone, who examines our hearts’ deepest thoughts. WE SERVE GOD ALONE, WHO EXAMINES OUR HEARTS’ DEEPEST MOTIVES. WE ARE NOT SERVING ANY HUMAN BEING. WE ARE SERVING GOD ALONE. I AM HERE. IF YOU DO ANYTHING WITH HONEST INTENTION, I KNOW. IF YOU DO IT WITH IMPURE MOTIVE, I KNOW.

43.      The whole attack is geared towards one thing. To oust him from the office. Who then will be there? Joe, will you be there when you have not even come to Fellowship on a Wednesday? I will be a mad fellow to make you to be in charge of Local Assembly when your court and judiciary matters have consumed your time. Be very careful o.

44.      Remember what I told you and I never told you that in secret. It was in your own compound. You came to Me for protection. If you do what I say you should do, I will protect you. When we want to talk about eternal life, we will talk about that one. Did I mince words? It was in your house before many witnesses.

45.      I said, “I am investigating you. When I am through with My investigations, I will declare My findings, but talk of somebody harming you, because you have run to Me and you have embraced Me, cancel it. Cancel it. Let that person come in any way he wants it. That is My own assurance.”  PHYSICAL PROTECTION IS NOT SPIRITUAL PROTECTION. When we want to discuss spirituality, we discuss spirituality. Amen.

46.      Verse 5: Never once did we try to win you with flattery,... Never once did we attempt winning your hearts with what? Flattery. Like Sunny Chukwu was expecting from the Pastor. You are equally expecting it from Me. I know, today, it will take amazing grace to save you in this Faith. Yes! I have to say it. You are numbered among the Brothers that take delight in sending credit to Me.

47.      Whenever I open the phone, like I saw the one of yesterday, “Daddy, can you please recharge.” If that is ministry, some Sisters send. Some Brothers send also. Even heathens send. This is pure truth. Do I sell credit? I use it to serve you. I do not even know how to browse.

48.      I do not write text message. I do not even know how to read. Anybody that is around Me will read the message for Me. That is why I have no secret. Brethren, is it not true? Anybody that is around when the message comes, if you like, be My woman friend or girlfriend. You think you are hiding. You do not know the person who is around. Read it for Me.

49.      You think I am afraid of anybody. No. if you watch the way I handle Myself or handle My matters, you will know that I died many times before coming. You cannot use death to frighten Me. Then tell Me what else you will use to make Me to run away because I am seeing you or what you will say about Me, what is that which I have not heard?

50.      I have seen many things. We do not attempt flattering you or give you the impression that you are what you are not, simply because you give Me credit in the phone. Don’t you know that there are people who come to Me with goats, while some others bring drinks to Me? Some people supply me with fresh fish. What is common credit? How much is the credit? ₦1,000. ₦2,000. Is that all. Then the world will spoil.

51.      May be you have sent it two or three times and you feel you have gotten The Son of Man. You are stupid. Stupid! People that think they worth something never succeeded in bribing Me. Men and women. How much more people that are not even known. Amen.

52.      That is why we are still alive. Look at Me in the eyes and tell Me the Truth. I will look at you in the eyes, I will tell you the Truth because I am not indebted to you. I owe you nothing but Love of God. And the love means to tell you the Truth, you tell Me the Truth. That is all.

53.       Verse 5: Never once did we try to win you with flattery, as you very well know,... As you very well know, I never came to Nsukka for one day to flatter anybody. Neither did I go to any Local Assembly to flatter any human being for what he is, Never Never. Even on your dining table, I will indict you, abandon your food and go away. Amen.

54.      Verse 5: 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... We are not just pretending to be your friends so that you give us money.  

55.      Verse 5:  Never once did we try to win you with flattery, as you very well know,...We have always been telling you truth in your face. and God knows we were not just pretending to be your friends... God knows we are not merely pretending to be your friends.  so that you would give us money!

56.      Do you have money? Joe Ogbuka! Do you have money? Are you rich? If you are rich, it is in your village in Nguru. Nsukka does not even know you as a rich man, talkmore of Onitsha. Recognition has not even been given to those that are standing, talkmore of those that are still sitting down. This is pure truth.

57.      In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is a king. You are a lawyer at Nsukka. You are not a lawyer in Onitsha. If you come to Onitsha, you can never practice law, for this is the home of lawyers, senior Advocates, judges and so on. Are we to run away because of you people? Are you mad?

58.      Pay attention everybody. Listen to Me all of you. Be very careful. Beware! I watched your countenances when the two petitions were being read. Many of you were nodding your heads in admiration and in acceptance. Even you Apostle Ojiakor. I saw you.

59.      When the first one was being read, you heard about cabal. You heard Mama Ogoo. You stamped your leg on the floor. In other words, they have hit the nail on the head. But what is more? The whole incidence happened when she was at Enugu taking care of her daughter that delivered a baby.

60.      She never knew what was happening at Nsukka. And they were there at Nsukka accusing somebody who is fellowshipping at Enugu. Amen.

61.      I hate anybody that will sow seed of discord among Brethren. He does not want the love of God to flourish. Now, I remember in those days, there was a problem in the Household of God at Enugu in the days of Bishop Umezulike.

62.      I went there to handle the matter with Apostle Kelechi, Bishop Okechukwu Nwankpa and two others. As I was addressing the problem, all the Brethren were shouting, “Yes sir! Speak harder! Yes sir! Speak harder!”

63.      At the end, the Bishop collected the microphone and turned to the Congregation, “Son of Man came and was diagnosing our collective case, while all of you were reacting, ‘That is the truth of the matter! Speak harder!’ who is that person that is doing all these things? Are we not the people that are committing all these things? And you were encouraging Him to speak harder and harder for that was the situation on ground. Who committed these things?”

64.      We read bro Joe Ogbuka’s letter, you were rejoicing. We read that of Sunday, you were rejoicing. We read that of Brother Chibuzor, you were rejoicing. Now, I am talking, you are also rejoicing. Where do you belong to?

65.      Yes! The tide has shifted and they have also shifted, which means you are unstable. If you are standing by the Truth, truly speaking, you can never move an inch. You stand on your conviction of that which you know to be right, until God will say no. You are undependable.

66.      Let me tell you something. Those that plotted the coup in those days during the military era never came to the fore. After plotting the coup, financing the coup, they will send forth the executors and the real people [coup plotters] will stay at home watching with their ears on the sky to hear the outcome.

67.      The moment they hear that the coup had been foiled, everybody will be on the run. Then, when the executors will be arrested, confessional statements will begin to incriminate Generals as financiers and the real plotters. People that execute coup do not become president or ministers. The highest they can get is to be the military administrators of states.

68.      I know since there were two camps, the voices represented the voices of one camp. And that camp, some of them might be here among the elders like Bisalla (Major General Iliya D. Bisalla, also known as ID Bisalla) the minister for defense, who hid amidst other Generals to judge the man he sponsored, Colonel Dimka, until Dimka turned and said, “Oh even you Bisalla.”

69.      There must be a Bisalla here among these Elders that came from Nsukka. They came because it was their desire. They came to know how the Pastor will be slaughtered. The two they pushed forward were those that were prominent, whose words have weight and those they feel are in friendly terms with the Son of Man. They have access to the Son of Man. In short, if they do not influence the Son of Man, nobody will influence him.

70.      Tell Me what you will use to influence Me. Your oratory? Your write-ups? Who does not know that The Son of Man as:

a.   an orator

b.   a freelancer?

71.      Just give me time to settle down and I will write you off in any field of human endeavour. Mention it. I will make sure you look very small. Very small.

72.      When I tell you that I am uneducated, you take Me seriously. What does it take to educate a person? Tell Me what it takes to educate a person. If I am not educated according to your estimation, why do I hold My head high in all Universities? Who has ever faulted Me? I can even sit down and fault even your jargons there, with grammatical blunders, with too many wrong expressions filled with hyperboles.

73.      If I want to ridicule you grammatically, I know how to dress you down. You may be thinking that I am praising you because of My language, but intelligent people will know that I have finished you. But I do not indulge in that nonsense. I should know more than that. After all, Caesar’s wife must live above suspicion.

74.      I do not pretend to be your friend so that you will give me money. That is true with all the ministers in this Faith. You think we are poor, yet we make you wealthy. We are not as poor as you think. No minister in this Faith is as poor as you think. WHO IS POOR? IS IT ONE WITHOUT MONEY? IT IS ONE WITHOUT COMMON SENSE. COMMON SENSE.

75.      That is why I was very happy with one man that came up to lambast the national chairman of PDP, the senate president and also the speaker of the house of representatives, Yakubu Dogara who said he is a lawyer.

76.      You filed your case over your defeat. Your case is receiving attention. You went ahead demonstrating because of the same matter, asking for the release of the results to favour you. Why did you file in the case?

77.      The police made a mistake. They would have arrested all of them and judge them according to the law, for contempt. They had already adjudged themselves guilty in all the cases they filed. If you watch all of them, they filed cases where it never favoured them, but wherever they were favoured, no case. Must you be favoured everywhere? Amen.

2

BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT THE PERSON YOU ARE FOLLOWING ON ANY MATTER.

1            SO, PEOPLE THAT LURE THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS INTO TROUBLE DO NOT COME TO THEIR RESCUE WHEN THE MATTER IS EXPLODED. THAT IS WHY YOU MUST BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT THE PERSON YOU ARE FOLLOWING ON ANY MATTER. OTHERWISE, ONCE YOU ARE IN TROUBLE, THE PERSON DISAPPEARS INTO THIN AIR.

2            I know that there might be people at Nsukka who are monitoring the developments live. Their ears are here, but their bodies are there to know what will be the outcome. There are some that will rush to their fellow Brethren, “Brother, the job has gone bad o. These people have run into trouble o. Brother, we have put these people into trouble o. We have put these people into trouble o.” You will see others that will say, “It serves them right. That is what they deserve.”

3            IF YOU ARE ALWAYS STRUGGLING TO HAVE PREEMINENCE OVER YOUR BRETHREN, YOU WILL BE THE NUMBER ONE THAT WILL BE USED TO MEASURE THE DEPTH OF THE SEA, THE HEIGHT OF THE MOUNTAIN AND THE DEPTH OF THE VALLEY. IS IT NOT TRUE? BECAUSE YOU ARE STRUGGLING TO HAVE PREEMINENCE OVER YOUR FELLOW BRETHREN. GET READY. WE WILL USE YOU TO MEASURE THE DEPTH OF THE RED SEA. Amen.

4            Verse 6: As for praise, we have never asked for it from you or anyone else, although as apostles of Christ we certainly had a right to some honour from you. LB

5            James 2:1 – 4. Dear brothers, how can you claim that you belong to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, if you show favoritism to rich people and look down on poor people?

6            Verse 2:  If a man comes into your church dressed in expensive clothes and with valuable gold rings on his fingers,...

7            And valuable rings on his fingers. A man drives into your church with exotic vehicle, gorgeously dressed, you accord him respect, give him a high seat. And then, a poor fellow comes in his poor estate, you say, “My friend, you can sit on the ground.” Is it not prejudice? Is the person acting out of pure motive? The person is not motivated by the Spirit of Truth.

8            AND ANYTHING THAT IS NOT MOTIVATED BY THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH IS FALSE, DEVILISH AND CAN NEVER BEAR THE RIGHT FRUIT.

9            Verse 2:  If a man comes into your church dressed in expensive clothes and with valuable gold rings on his fingers,...

10        Let Me put it the other way. I know that all of you were here when these youths were ordained Pastors and I thank God there is not even one that has a reasonable occupation whereby he can get money to begin to bribe the Son of Man.

11        If I had ordained people like Barrister Joe Ogbuka, somebody would have been thinking that he paid one million naira into My account. But how much do you think Brother Chibuzor paid when I am helping him to secure a job? Only this last week, his appointment was regularized by My Divine Intervention. And that of Brother Ugo also regularized.

12        Bro Ugo went the first one, they refused him regularization. He nearly lost hope and I said, “No. You will go back a second time. They are inviting you and you will succeed.” Few weeks later they invited him. And he succeeded to the Glory of God.

13        I am saying that not even one of them bribed Me. May be you think it is Bro Attah that bribed Me or Bro Chizoba bribed Me so that I will ordained them Pastors over you.

14        I MADE MY CHOICE AFTER THE COUNSEL OF MY OWN WILL. IT IS ALWAYS MY DIVINE PURPOSE WHICH I PURPOSED IN MY HEART CONCERNING THEM WHEN THEY KNEW IT NOT, FOR WHICH CAUSE I NURTURED THEM.

15        This boy died at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital. You all know the records. Remember that when that incident occurred, no human being knew about it but Me. They collected his handset.

16        From the handset, I became the first person they called, telling me, My son and they mentioned Victor. I do not have anybody like that except Victor Nnachor. I called Victor and he responded from the bank. I kept on wondering who could be this Victor.

17        Finally, another call came from his friend to Me again, telling Me the Igbo name. I now called Pastor Ejike who was in that hospital that day. He rushed. Our Brother was already dead. Completely dead. I do not need to revisit it. What am I trying to say?

18        I proved all doctors wrong especially Prof. Onwuasoigwe who handled the case. A neurotic case that even affected the eyes, the brain. They said he will not retain any information for life. The neck was stiff. He lost balance. They had no drugs. The mother called Me and told Me the situation.

19        Remember I was the One that brought him back with a sign which everybody must expect. Whenever he arrives in that body, he will open his eyes and he will call his mother. And so it happened after three months in coma. I recommended drugs which the doctors said they had never heard about.

20        Pharmacists in the Teaching Hospital said, “We have never heard about these drugs.” They went to their pharmaceutical formulary to look for them. At the end Sister came out empty-handed, called Me again, “Daddy, I could not get the drugs. Look at what they are telling me.”

21        I said, “OK. I will tell you where to get it. The drugs are in the market but very expensive. Use it as long as he lives. The eyes will be restored. The balance restored. The brain restored. And he will go back to school to complete his Masters’ degree.”

22        The mother doubted it but I never doubted Myself. She went to where I directed her and she got the drugs. If nobody knows the truth, Ezemachiri, you were the one driving them about. Bro Ojiakor, you knew this case. I am not exaggerating anything.

23        He is here because I want him to remain alive so that the purpose for which he was created might be achieved. And at the fullness of time, I started unveiling it, why I never allowed him to pass on. Who are you to challenge Me? Are you crazy?

24        I will save whosoever I want. I mean, I have witnesses to what I am saying. I never added any lies to it as Brethren can testify. Bro Chukwudi, don’t you know about this case? [He responds, “I do sir”] Good! Who are you then to query Me for using the vessel I myself sanctified, made holy, prepared, sealed and then ordained for a ministry. Are you crazy?

25        Verse 2:  If a man comes into your church dressed in expensive clothes and with valuable gold rings on his fingers, and at the same moment another man comes in who is poor and dressed in threadbare clothes, 

26         and you make a lot of fuss over the rich man and give him the best seat in the house and say to the poor man, “You can stand over there if you like or else sit on the floor”—well, 

27         Judging a man by his wealth shows that you are guided by wrong motives. LB

28        Judging a man by his wealth goes to show that you are guided by a wrong motive. If you like, own all the estates in the whole of Onitsha. Let your vehicles be more than those of Aliko Dangote. Let your industries be more than all the industries in Nigeria put together (The biggest so far are Shoprite, Eleganza industries in Lagos) It means nothing. Absolutely nothing.

29        Why do you accord people respect because of their material acquisition which will vanish in a twinkling of an eye? THE WORTH OF A MAN IS NOT IN HIS PHYSICAL WEALTH, BUT IN HIS SPIRITUAL WEALTH.

30        THAT IS WHY I HAVE GIVEN YOU MY OWN PHILOSOPHY ABOUT LIFE. THAT THE WORTH OF A MAN IS NOT IN HIS BANK ACCOUNT, BUT IN HIS BRAIN. IF YOU HAVE A FABULOUS BANK ACCOUNT AND YOU ARE BEREFT OF INTELLIGENCE, THEY ARE AS USELESS AS USELESS CAN BE TO THE SON OF MAN. YOU CAN ONLY USE THEM TO INFLUENCE PEOPLE LIKE YOU. NOT ME.

31        You see why I am hated by such people who think that the Son of Man can be easily moved by what they think they are. What is that thing you think you are which God never gave to you? Can that thing save you when death comes?

32        Can that thing which you think you are save you when death comes? Have you not seen people that had physical wealth more than you and yet they died? I want to place things right. God never chose any man because of his wealth. Amen. I am continuing so that I will show you where all of you fell off.

33        John 13:20.  “Truly, anyone welcoming my messenger is welcoming me. And to welcome me is to welcome the Father who sent me.” LB Alleluia! Truly, anyone that welcomes My Messenger has already welcomed Me.

34        Buhari designated his second [in command] Osinbajo to visit Anambra State. His visit was heralded by feast which could have been accorded to Buhari if he was to come. The Governor and the security in the whole Anambra State went with him to all the places he visited, according him presidential reception. What if he was poorly and shabbily treated? May be people think he was just a mere vice and not the president. Look at what the word said.

35        Verse 20: I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, he who receives and welcomes and takes into his heart any messenger of Mine... Any Messenger of Mine. No matter your relationship with him. Even if you hate him, like Ahab hated Micaiah, the only voice of God in his day. Ahab was asked, “Is there no prophet of God in this city?” He said, “There is but one, but I hate him.” Why do you hate him? He said, “He does not speak good concerning Me. We have face-off. We do not agree.”

36        The Ahab is a Spirit. If you cannot relate with your Pastor who God has given to you as overseer because you hate him, he does not speak good of you, have you acted well and he does not commend you? You are another Ahab of our day. So you must know when you are anointed with the spirit of Ahab.

37        Verse 20: I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, he who receives and welcomes and takes into his heart any messenger of Mine receives Me [in just that way];...

38        If the word of your Pastor means nothing to you, My own means nothing, for he is not standing on his own. He is standing on My Authority. He is My mouth piece at Nsukka. He is speaking on My behalf. So how can you say you are believing Me when you have not even welcomed him?

39        Am I making sense? Did he force himself into the pulpit? What he is today was it what he was yesterday? Why can’t you fear God? Why can’t you fear God? To depart from the truth is very easy. When you depart from the truth, you have departed from the Faith

40          and he who receives and welcomes and takes Me into his heart receives Him Who sent Me [in that same way]. AMP When you go home, use more translations. May be you have the feeling that I am deceiving you.

41        1 Thessalonians 2:13. The moment you refuse to acknowledge their words as the Word of God, your life is in danger.

42        Verse 13: And we will never stop thanking God for this: that when we preached to you, you didn’t think of the words we spoke as being just our own, but you accepted what we said as the very Word of God—which, of course, it was—and it changed your lives when you believed it. LB Amen!

43        When they heard the Word of God from the messengers God sent, they never said they were mere words of men. They took the words serious as the word of God which is exactly what it was. And the Bible said, “It changed the lives of those that believed it as the Word of God.”

44        If your rebellious instinct is still there. It cannot allow you to recognize him even as one that God sent. Then his word will mean nothing to you. You will always be looking for a way to fault him. AT ANY POINT IN TIME, YOU ARE EITHER BELIEVING OR YOU ARE FAULTING THE MESSAGE OR FAULTING THE MESSENGER.

45        You are telling Me that I made a mistake. It could have been another person to be the Pastor. Who do you think it could be? Sunday Chukwu? Because he was popular among you and the Pastor made him much more popular by giving him the pulpit to personalize.

46        Each time he came back from Onitsha, he became the oracle who knows how to give testimony and admonish Brethren as if he is the only one that visited Onitsha. LIBERALIZE YOUR MIND AND THEN BEGIN TO USE EVERYBODY. HERE WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PARTICULAR BROTHER WHO SPECIALIZES IN GIVING TESTIMONY FOR EVERY TRIP. ANYBODY CAN GIVE ACCOUNT OF HIS TRIP. Amen.

AWFUL IMPLICATION OF REJECTING A MAN ORDAINED OF GOD

1.          Verse 13:  And we also [especially] thank God continually for this, that when you received the message of God [which you heard] from us, you welcomed it not as the word of [mere] men, but as it truly is, the Word of God, which is effectually at work in you who believe [exercising its superhuman power in those who adhere to and trust in and rely on it]. AMP

2.           By refusing his word, you have counted yourself unworthy of eternal life.

3.          Acts 13:46. Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and declared, “It was necessary that this Good News from God should be given first to you Jews. But since you have rejected it and shown yourselves unworthy of eternal life—well, we will offer it to Gentiles. LB Amen!

4.          Since you have rejected His words, you have made up your mind that you do not want eternal life; If eternal life will come from Bro Chibuzor, let me go to hell. This is because you do not see him as a man sent by God for your salvation. Amen.

5.          1 Thessalonians 4:8. “If anyone refuses to live by these rules, he is not disobeying the rules of men but of God who gives his Holy Spirit to you”. LB Amen!

6.          If anybody refuses to keep to these rules, let it be known to you that you are not refusing the rules given to you by men, but God’s rules. That is the standard God Himself has laid down for us to follow. Chibuzor does not have any other standard. That which he received from God is the same thing he is giving to you. And it is given to all the Local Assembly in the same manner. Is your own different?

7.          Verse 8: Therefore whoever disregards (sets aside and rejects this) disregards not man but God, Whose [very] Spirit [Whom] He gives to you is holy (chaste, pure). AMP Amen!

8.          Have you seen the awful implication of your actions? Even the useless thoughts and imaginations of your hearts. When you were rebelling, you were thinking you were all succeeding. You were roaring like a roaring sea.

9.          I can see the face of Brother Joe Ogbuka while he was writing lies, fabricated stories to buttress mere gossips, mere falsehood painted before him by Sunny Chukwu to dent the reputation of a man of God. And you thought it wise to riot even in the day. What a shame? Amen.

10.      1 Timothy 5:20. Those that want us to kneel down before we can talk to them. If he has really sinned, then he should be rebuked in front of the whole church... He should be what? No, we should hire a secret room. We will go to him in the night and kneel down.

11.      If he has really sinned, then he should be rebuked in front of the whole church so that no one else will follow his example. LB

12.      So that no other person will make the mistake of following his example. You see why I decided to make their petitions known to you? if I had handled it secretly without you knowing what transpired, you might be their victim. May be the moment we dismiss now you will see them clustering under the tree to tell you their own version, because I never read it.

13.      Now I made it public, with your ears, you heard everything. And now, you are paying attention as I handle the Word, you will know where we shall end it as we journey.

14.      Verse 20: Them that sin, rebuke before all, that others also may fear. KJV. Them that sin, do what? REBUKE BEFORE ALL, THAT OTHERS MAY FEAR. The bush that abhors basket should not grow mushrooms, for once mushrooms grow therein, baskets must enter the bush. Whoever that has fetched ant-infested firewood has invited lizards to his domain. Amen.

15.      I hope I am hitting it harder in your hearts o. this is because I want to nail this Truth in your heart so that you do not pattern after ungodly examples. Amen. 

16.      Verse 20: As for those who are guilty and persist in sin, rebuke and admonish them in the presence of all, so that the rest may be warned and stand in wholesome awe and fear. AMP

17.      2 Timothy 4:2. to preach the Word of God urgently at all times, whenever you get the chance, in season and out, when it is convenient and when it is not. Correct and rebuke your people when they need it,...

18.      Do what? Correct and rebuke your people when they need it. If you need correction, you will be corrected. You need rebuke, you must be rebuked. That is love.

19.       Correct and rebuke your people when they need it, encourage them to do right, and all the time be feeding them patiently with God’s Word. LB

20.      Encourage them to do right and at all times, helping them with the Word of God, if they are ready to pay attention. What if they have hardened their hearts? What if the glamour of iniquity had already seared their hearts with hot iron? This is because iniquity has some glamour around it. You cannot imagine how I was insulted today. The type of rebuke I got today. No more! You better walk out now because if you do not walk out, I will walk you out.

21.      I told you, this is the Faith of Christ entrusted into the care of the Son of Man as the only begotten Son of God in our day in whom He is well pleased, with a command that we must “HEAR YE HIM.”

22.      THIS IS THE HOUSE. THIS IS THE FAITH. THIS IS THE BODY THE SON OF MAN BUILT. IT DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU. I AM A SON OVER MY FATHER’S HERITAGE, FOR HE HAS TRANFERRED YOU FROM THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS INTO THE KINGDOM OF HIS DEAR SON, (ARE YOU THE DEAR SON?) WHEREIN YOU CAN NOW CALL HIM ABBA FATHER.

23.      Assuming you were not transferred into this place, do you have access to Him? By HIM you have access to the Deity. Is it not Scriptural? Amen.

24.      Proverbs 27:5 Open rebuke is better than hidden love! LB. Open rebuke is better than love that is hidden. AMP. But some people do not want to be rebuked openly as others are being rebuked because they are one million years in age.

25.      IN YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST, THERE IS NO AGE. ANY MOMENT YOU BEGIN TO THINK YOU ARE AGED, YOU ARE ENTERING THE GRAVE. AGED PEOPLE ARE IN THE GRAVES FOR THEY HAVE NO ACCEPTABLE SERVICE TO RENDER TO GOD AGAIN. WHY? THEIR TENURES HAVE EXPIRED. IF ANYTHING SHOULD WAX OLD, WHAT HAPPENS? IT DECAYS AND FADES AWAY. Amen.

26.      So keep your age to yourself. If you want to practice it, practice it with your wife alone. Tell your wife you are senior to her. Finish!

27.      Romans 11:29.  For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.] AMP

28.      For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn; he will never go back on his promises. LB

29.      For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. KJV Yes! This has become necessary so that people like Brother Joe Ogbuka and Sunny will take correction. Stop accusing Brethren before Me. If you must accuse, accuse yourself.

30.      Do not tell Me how he lived his life in time past and efforts you were making that time to correct him. Now, he has wriggled out and you entered. You saw where he fell, but you did not see where he got up. You are quoting his past, while God is talking about his present.

31.      In time past, he was deadly. In time past, he was arrogant. He was foolish. He hated people and people hated him. But now, he is no longer the same. He is now in the work, for which God ordained him from his mother’s womb.

32.      Saint Paul said, “You know my conversations with you in time past how I greatly persecuted even the Christians, thinking they were wrong and I was right. But now, look at Me. I am no longer injurious. I am now a saint. I am now doing the work for which He separated Me from My mother’s womb and for the preaching of this Gospel.”

33.      May be you never knew that when he (Paul) came to the midst of the Brethren, all of them were on the run. Barnabas called them back and said he (Paul) is no longer a persecutor of the Brethren. He is now one of us.

GOD’S CALLING IS NOT ACCORDING TO AGE

1.          KEEP ON QUOTING MY PAST. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO COMMEND MY PRESENT. MAY BE YOU NEVER KNEW THAT WHEN YOU WERE A SINNER, NECK-DEEP IN UNBELIEF, CHRIST DIED FOR YOU. GIFTS AND CALLINGS OF GOD ARE WITHOUT REPENTANCE. Amen.

2.          So, go ahead accusing him of what he did and what he did not do until I come to the Word of God, matters will straighten out. Amen.

3.          1 Samuel 3:1 Meanwhile little Samuel was helping the Lord by assisting Eli. LB

4.          What did he call him? LITTLE SAMUEL. Where was he serving? In the house of Eli, where Hophni and Phinehas were grown-ups. God knew a day was coming when He would remove Hophni and Phinehas from being priests because of their wild profligacies which they were practicing even in the temple of God.

5.           He started nurturing an infant under the tutorship of their father. He saw the wild life those men were living, but he had no part in it.

6.          If people like Sunday Chukwu who values his age more than any other thing was there and Samuel came, God has ordained me priest. He will say, “Little boy like you. You had a dream. May be you are suffering from malaria and you do not know it.”

7.          What did God call that boy? LITTLE SAMUEL. Somebody will ask, “Why little Samuel when I am there? Why must it be this little boy when elders like us with wisdom and experience and very well known in the Faith. People that can read Bible. People that can make statements that will have impact. Why little Samuel.”

8.          God has made His choice and his choice is final, whether it sinks well with you or not. Querying it means querying your eternal life, for your eternal life is in the hand of He whom God has sent. A chosen, sealed and approved vessel. Why little Samuel? Why this drunkard?

9.          1 Samuel 3:19 – 21 And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. He never let one of the word of Samuel fall to the ground. Why? God was the one speaking through Samuel. Somebody who values his height and age and his stature and the number of years he had spent in the temple before Samuel was born, do you think he will pay attention?

10.      Well, he quoted humility when he is not humble. Humble yourself before the LORD God Almighty that you may be exalted in due time, for God resisteth the proud and gives grace to the humble, for if you exalt yourself, God must surely humiliate you.

11.      Why little Samuel? But look at the little Samuel. God is with him, making all the words that came out of his mouth to be effective, for they were THUS SAITH THE LORD. But they did not see the LORD behind him. They could not see the LORD in Samuel. They saw little boy. Little Samuel.

12.      Everywhere is calm. THE CLOUD IS HERE. That is why you are calm.  THE CLOUD IS HERE. Look at the atmosphere. Very humid, yet you are sweating. This is because the burning of the Word, the cutting and slashing of the Word is at work. Amen.

13.      I want somebody to raise his hands against the Word.

Verse 20: And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord.  And the Lord appeared again in Shiloh: for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord. KJV

14.      1 Samuel 16:11 – 13 from “The Lord has not chosen any of them,” Samuel told Jesse. “Are these all there are?” “Well, there is the youngest,” Jesse replied. “But he’s out in the fields watching the sheep.”

15.      “Send for him at once,” Samuel said, “for we will not sit down to eat until he arrives.” So Jesse sent for him. He was a fine looking boy,...

16.      He was what? A frail looking boy. Another boy. Not only boy, but frail. One that walks like someone without any strength at all. Walking like a dying person.

17.      The reason why he was the one chosen to shepherd the sheep in the wilderness, thereby forfeiting him and even the sheep in the event of an attack by predating lions. He was eating but does not look nourished. He was not as plump as his siblings.

18.      Look at what happened. Samuel went at the command of the LORD to the house of Jesse to anoint a King that will replace King Saul. Jesse brought out all his children, grown-ups. They came out, very handsome in appearance, tall, fair to look at.

19.      The Bible said, “Samuel examined all and said, ‘Jesse, the LORD has not chosen any of them. Is that all you have as your children, because I am sent to your house to anoint whosoever He will direct My hands to.’” The man said, “Well, it remained but one, a small boy, frail-looking.”

20.      He thought that God’s choice for a king might be drawn from the hefty ones. The tall and the huge, who will mount the pulpit and make hoarse voice, who will serve God mechanically using their muscles.

21.      He (Jesse) said, “There is but one small boy left, frail-looking in appearance.” “Go and fetch him for me” Now, Samuel commanded.  “We will never sit down. We will never eat. We will not drink until we have seen the boy in question.”

22.      So that you will know that God had seen your hefty stature and your high academic attainment, your material wealth and everything, yet He went the other way. Nobody does path finding for death.

23.      Verse 12:  So Jesse sent for him. He was a fine looking boy, ruddy-faced, and with pleasant eyes. And the Lord said, “This is the one; anoint him.” AND THE LORD SAID, “THIS IS THE ONE. ANOINT HIM.” THIS IS THE ONE. ANOINT HIM.

24.      If it were in your own day, a big man would have rushed to remove the hand of Samuel, “Remove your hand! Go and pray. Are you sure this is the one God said you should anoint? What does he know about this Faith? Remove your hand. Son of Man made a mistake to have given us Sister Ogochukwu’s first son.”

25.      You see why I told you that a gentle man in the days of Jericho will find it difficult to enter Rahab’s house. But that’s the house of salvation for those that would act by faith.

26.      THE PROPHET SAID, “WHEN GOD GIVES YOU HIS MAN FOR A WORK, YOUR DUTY IS NOT TO QUERY HIM, BUT TO RALLY ROUND HIM, FOR IF YOU STAND ON HIS WAY, YOU ARE STANDING ON THE WAY OF GOD. THE ALMIGHTY MUST SURELY JUDGE YOU.”

27.      THE ALMIGHTY MUST SURELY JUDGE YOU. YOU STRETCH YOUR HAND AGAINST HIM, YOU ARE DOOMED TILL ETERNITY. THEN YOU KNOW THAT HE IS THE LORD’S ANOINTED. TOUCH NOT MY ANOINTED AND DO HIM NO HARM. Amen.

28.      I know that you were thinking that this would be the case before. Maybe you heard Bro Joe Ogbuka referring to you, how the Son of Man gathered Enugu and Nsukka to resolve their impasse and finally gave them a Message, WHY ARE YOU RUNNING WITHOUT THE ORIGINAL BATON? It is not that type. This is open rebellion. This is open rebellion. Rebellion against Constituted Authority. Amen.

29.      Have you not heard that GOD’S INSTRUMENT FOR LEADERSHIP IS DIVINE? You do not know how many people that have been engrossed in this hopeless situation. You may be seeing Nsukka, but you do not know that the Spirit has engulfed all the Local Assemblies, especially among the Elders that do not welcome the ordination of the youths to be overseers over them. They have become dictators and cabals. They have become Boko Harams and Fulani herdsmen.

30.      Now, let Me ask you this question. Please, if you are with Me sit down. Only those that are putting things in other should stand up. Sunday Chukwu, stand up! Joe Ogbuka, stand up! If you refuse to stand up, I walk you out of this place. When I come to your own, walk Me out. This is because I am in-charge. I am in-charge. I can imprison you. What I can do to you is not what I will tell you.

31.      If you were there when the small boy, Jesus Christ walked into the temple and saw the mess that was going on among the so-called Pharisees, and then used his strength with cane to cane people that were older than his grandfather, pushed them out, pulled their tables down, would you not have accused Jesus of not having respect for Elders? Be sincere.

32.      Who would have believed that Jesus Christ was the Almighty God filled with the Holy Spirit? Was there any iota of humility seen in Him by your estimation? But you want your Pastor to kneel down before talking to you, because you are a big man. Elder! Sit down!

33.      I am shouting on you because you allowed yourself to be used, for somebody to achieve his personal vendetta. Sit down! Once beaten, twice shy.

34.      IF ANYBODY IS COMING TO YOU, ESPECIALLY ON A MATTER AFFECTING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, JUDGE THE MOTIVE. JUDGE WHAT HE IS TRYING TO ACHIEVE AND WHY HE HAS DECIDED TO MAKE YOU HIS LAUNCHING PAD.

35.      I TOLD YOU HOW THEY MOVE ABOUT LOOKING FOR PEOPLE. IF THEY COME, THEY WILL PRETEND THAT ALL IS WELL. THEY OPEN A DISCUSSION AGAINST A BROTHER AND THEY WILL TRY TO KNOW YOUR OPINION. IF YOU REBUKE THEM, THEY WILL AVOID YOU.

36.      BUT ONCE YOU BEGIN TO TALK IN THEIR OWN LINE OF THINKING, THEY HAVE BOUGHT YOU OVER. YOU BECOME NUMBER ONE CONVERT. YOU WILL EVEN VOLUNTEER TO SPEAR-HEAD THE BATTLE. A BATTLE YOU KNOW YOU CANNOT EXECUTE WITH SUCCESS. Amen.

37.      We received a Message titled FEAR GOD. FEAR GOD! Attention this way. We have seen small boys. I said, “We have seen small boys.” Little little boys it pleased God to choose for a divine work, to the neglect of the Elders. And the Elders were fuming.

38.      REMEMBER, IT WAS LACK OF RECOGNITION AND ACCEPTANCE THAT MADE KING SAUL TO DISHONOUR SAMUEL. IS IT NOT TRUE? OK.

39.      1 Thessalonians 1:4 – 5  We know that God has chosen you, dear brothers, much beloved of God.  For when we brought you the Good News, it was not just meaningless chatter to you; no, you listened with great interest.

40.      What we told you produced a powerful effect upon you, for the Holy Spirit gave you great and full assurance that what we said was true.... LB

41.       Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. KJV Amen.

42.      1 Timothy 1:2 – 4. To Timothy, (my) beloved child:...

43.      My beloved what? CHILD Grace (favor and spiritual blessing), mercy, and (heart) peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord! I thank God Whom I worship with a pure conscience, in the spirit of my fathers, when without ceasing I remember you night and day in my prayers,... AMP

44.      To: Timothy. Timothy, you are like a son to me in the things of the Lord. May God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord show you his kindness and mercy and give you great peace of heart and mind.

45.      As I said when I left for Macedonia, please stay there in Ephesus and try to stop the men who are teaching such wrong doctrine.

46.       Try to do what? Stop the men! A child! A child will stop men who are trying to inject falsehood. I kept you there for you to stop them. Bro David, you see where you omitted,

47.      Put an end to their myths and fables,... Do what? Put an end to their myths and fables,.. Like to the stories we heard. They are mere myth and fables. No reality at all. Do not give them a breathing space, no matter how highly placed they think they are. Place them where they belong to. Is anybody above the Word of God?

48.      What if Timothy had a man like Sunny Chukwu? Who will tell Sunny Chukwu, “Come down from the pulpit” or “Look at the way I want it.” He (Sunday Chukwu) will say no and have the effrontery to come and report to Me how he rejected the instruction from the Pastor, even from the pulpit publicly.

49.      What type of dishonor is that? Yet, you want the Pastor to honour you. “So, the Pastor does not honour me, and for that reason, I do not honour him”. Does he know who placed the Pastor there? God does not honour me. for that I do not honour God. Is it not madness? Well, I do not know what I will say. I never knew that he could be as senseless as this.

50.      ...Put an end to their myths and fables,and their idea of being saved by finding favor with an endless chain of angels leading up to God—wild ideas that stir up questions and arguments instead of helping people accept God’s plan of faith. LB

51.      2 Timothy 4:17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me,... The strength of every messenger from God is God, for the Prophet said, “When God sends a man, He backs him up.” God does not send a man and remain behind. God can never send you forth with salt and still draw rain on your way. Does God do that?

52.      Wherever he is, God is there with him. Even if he sins, you will not rebuke him. It will take God to rebuke him, for he is not your servant. He is not serving you. You never engaged him. Did you employ him? Did you place him there? Do not worry. I am coming to that. Amen.  

53.      But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the [Gospel] message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was delivered out of the jaws of the lion. AMP

54.      Acts 20:28  “And now beware! Be sure that you feed and shepherd God’s flock—his church, purchased with his blood—for the Holy Spirit is holding you responsible as overseers. LB Amen.

55.      In every Local Assembly, who will the Holy Spirit hold responsible as overseer? [The Congregation answers, “The Pastor”] The Pastor? You have answered very well. Bro David sit down. You are weak. Somebody pick up the Bible from him. That is what we do in the battle front.

56.      Verse 28:  So keep watch over yourselves and over all the flock which the Holy Spirit has placed in your care. Yes! Be shepherds of the church of God, which he made his own through the blood of his Son. GNB Amen.

57.      Verse 28: Take care and be on guard for yourselves and the whole flock... The whole Church. Did it say minus Deacons, minus Bishops? No matter who you are, you are subject to the Authority. Take heed to yourself and to the Flock of God which He has made you the overseer, for you are going to answer for it.

58.      If there is a problem in this Local Assembly, will I be asking questions randomly? I will hold the Pastor. Whoever that committed the crime the Pastor will now look for him.

59.       Take care and be on guard for yourselves and the whole flock over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you bishops and guardians, to shepherd (tend and feed and guide) the church of the Lord or of God which He obtained for Himself [buying it and saving it for Himself] with His own blood. AMP

60.      1 Timothy 4:16 Keep a close watch on all you do and think. Stay true to what is right and God will bless you and use you to help others. LB Amen. Stay true for that which you know is right, and then use it to help your Brethren. And God will also bless you. Amen.

61.      I wanted to see any evidence that their Pastor did anything with impure motive. I did not see any. They were mere spurious, baseless, unfounded allegations, all aimed at undermining his integrity and his office. Instead of helping him, they are frustrating him. Amen.

62.      Look well to yourself (to your own personality) and to [your] teaching; persevere in these things (hold to them), for by so doing you will save both yourself and those who hear you. AMP

63.      Hebrew 13:17 Obey your spiritual leaders... Do what?  and submit to them... As long as God has placed them before your eyes, submit yourself to them.

64.      Obey your spiritual leaders and submit to them (continually recognizing their authority over you),... Amen. Continually recognizing their authority over you, no matter how highly placed you think you are in the society. It has nothing to do with worshipping God.

65.      ...for they are constantly keeping watch over your souls... They are constantly keeping watch over your souls. You will say, “THIS LITTLE SAMUEL. THIS LITTLE DAVID. THIS FRAIL-LOOKING BOY.” IT IS GOD’S CHOICE. But you mighty Goliath. You mighty Goliath. With your mighty Goliath, God is saying you are not My Choice. This is My choice. This is the man. Anoint him.

66.      I know that if I had enquired from Local Assemblies or told them to nominate or to vote, these boys would not be in the pulpit. I would have made the mistake of our fathers by putting Sanhedrins and Herodians there. Listen to Me. BIG BIBLE IS NOT BIG FAITH. The tallness of my child does not mean maturity. Amen

67.      Obey your spiritual leaders and submit to them (continually recognizing their authority over you), for they are constantly keeping watch over your souls and guarding your spiritual welfare, as men who will have to render an account (of their trust)... AMP

68.      They will render an account of their trust. So, the Pastor you are despising, neglecting, ridiculing, fighting is the one that will give account of your soul. Whatever he tells God concerning you that is what God will take, for he is the one God placed there and the one God listens to.

69.      Somebody might be thinking that I am clamping down on Sunday and Bro Joe Ogbuka. No! I am clamping down on the spirits. Wherever the spirit can be traced, I am clamping down on them, making them to see how dangerous it is for a man to open his mouth to speak blasphemy against a man of God, talk more of rebelling openly against him and causing others to do same.

70.      If you had ended it in mere words, it would have been a different thing, but you cemented it by courageously writing to My Office. You thought it was a light thing; because I thought you were wise when I pulled your legs, “Can I have whatever you are saying in writing please. I want those documents.”

71.      And then you began your nocturnal meetings. You began your real clandestine campaign. Campaign of calumny against a celebrated office ordained by the Almighty God, because you have your personal vendetta to achieve. If you want to be something, it is your right. But we want to know why you want to be something. Amen.

AWFUL CONSEQUENCES OF REBELLING AGAINST A MAN OF GOD

1.            1 Samuel 18:28 – 29  When Saul saw and knew that the Lord was with David and that Michal [his] daughter loved him,... When Saul noticed that God was with the little boy David, it is like when Cane noticed that God had accepted the sacrifice of Abel, something must happen.

2.          When Saul saw and knew that the Lord was with David and that Michal (his) daughter loved him,

3.          Verse 29: Saul was still more afraid of David; and Saul became David’s constant enemy. AMP

4.           Saul became David’s constant enemy. Can you imagine? What causes it? How come it is this man that God has decided to be with? Immediately he noticed it, David became his constant enemy. Not minding that this was the same man that wants to marry his daughter, he (Saul) went and bought a dagger with which to stab him (David) to death. Amen.

5.          I think I better give you Scriptures so that you go home and crosscheck because of time. Put down in your jotters. If you read them, it is for your own good. You refuse to read, it is to your own detriment.

6.          1 Kings 13:1-6

7.          “As Jeroboam approached the altar to burn incense to the golden calf idol, a prophet of the Lord from Judah walked up to him. Then, at the Lord’s command, the prophet shouted, “O altar, the Lord says that a child named Josiah shall be born into the family line of David, and he shall sacrifice upon you the priests from the shrines on the hills who come here to burn incense; and men’s bones shall be burned upon you.”

8.           Then he gave this proof that his message was from the Lord: “This altar will split apart, and the ashes on it will spill to the ground.”  The king was very angry with the prophet for saying this. He shouted to his guards, “Arrest that man!” and shook his fist at him. Instantly the king’s arm became paralyzed in that position; he couldn’t pull it back again! 

9.            At the same moment a wide crack appeared in the altar and the ashes poured out, just as the prophet had said would happen. For this was the prophet’s proof that God had been speaking through him.  “Oh, please, please,” the king cried out to the prophet, “beg the Lord your God to restore my arm again.” So he prayed to the Lord, and the king’s arm became normal again. LB

10.      At the Lord's command a prophet from Judah went to Bethel and arrived there as Jeroboam stood at the altar to offer the sacrifice. 

11.       Verse 2: “Following the Lord's command, the prophet denounced the altar: “O altar, altar, this is what the Lord says: A child, whose name will be Josiah, will be born to the family of David. He will slaughter on you the priests serving at the pagan altars who offer sacrifices on you, and he will burn human bones on you.” 

12.      Verse 3: “And the prophet went on to say, “This altar will fall apart, and the ashes on it will be scattered. Then you will know that the Lord has spoken through me.”

13.      Verse 4:  ^“When King Jeroboam heard this, he pointed at him and ordered, “Seize that man!” At once the king's arm became paralyzed so that he couldn't pull it back”. 

14.      Verse 5: “The altar suddenly fell apart and the ashes spilled to the ground, as the prophet had predicted in the name of the Lord. 

15.      Verse 6: “King Jeroboam said to the prophet, “Please pray for me to the Lord your God, and ask him to heal my arm!. The prophet prayed to the Lord, and the king's arm was healed.” GNB

16.       By the word of the Lord a man of God came from Judah to Bethel,as Jeroboam was standing by the altar to make an offering. 

17.      By the word of the Lord he cried out against the altar: “Altar, altar! This is what the Lord says: ‘A son named Josiah will be born to the house of David. On you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who make offerings here, and human bones will be burned on you.’” 

18.       That same day the man of God gave a sign: “This is the sign the Lord has declared: The altar will be split apart and the ashes on it will be poured out.”

19.      When King Jeroboam heard what the man of God cried out against the altar at Bethel, he stretched out his hand from the altar and said, “Seize him!” But the hand he stretched out toward the man shriveled up, so that he could not pull it back. 

20.        Also, the altar was split apart and its ashes poured out according to the sign given by the man of God by the word of the Lord.

21.      Then the king said to the man of God, “Intercede with the Lord your God and pray for me that my hand may be restored.” So the man of God interceded with the Lord, and the king’s hand was restored and became as it was before. NIV

22.      Numbers 12:1 – 9 Now Miriam and Aaron talked against Moses [their brother] because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite woman.  And they said, Has the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? Has He not spoken also by us? And the Lord heard it.

23.       Now the man Moses was very meek (gentle, kind, and humble) or above all the men on the face of the earth. Suddenly the Lord said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, Come out, you three, to the Tent of Meeting. And the three of them came out.  The Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the Tent door and called Aaron and Miriam, and they came forward.

24.        And He said, Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord make Myself known to him in a vision and speak to him in a dream. But not so with My servant Moses; he is entrusted and faithful in all My house.

25.      With him I speak mouth to mouth [directly], clearly and not in dark speeches; and he beholds the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?  And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and He departed. AMP

26.      One day Miriam and Aaron were criticizing Moses because his wife was a Cushite woman, and they said, “Has the Lord spoken only through Moses? Hasn’t he spoken through us, too?” But the Lord heard them. 

27.      Immediately he summoned Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to the Tabernacle: “Come here, you three,” he commanded. So they stood before the Lord. (Now Moses was the humblest man on earth.)

28.       Then the Lord descended in the Cloud and stood at the entrance of the Tabernacle. “Aaron and Miriam, step forward,” he commanded; and they did.  And the Lord said to them, “Even with a prophet, I would communicate by visions and dreams; 

29.      but that is not how I communicate with my servant Moses. He is completely at home in my house! With him I speak face-to-face! And he shall see the very form of God! Why then were you not afraid to criticize him?”  Then the anger of the Lord grew hot against them, and he departed. LB

30.      Moses had married a Cushite^[a] woman, and Miriam and Aaron criticized him for it.  They said, “Has the Lord spoken only through Moses? Hasn't he also spoken through us?” The Lord heard what they said. 

31.      ( Moses was a humble man, more humble than anyone else on earth.)  Suddenly the Lord said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “I want the three of you to come out to the Tent of my presence.” They went, 

32.      and the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, stood at the entrance of the Tent, and called out, “Aaron! Miriam!” The two of them stepped forward,  and the Lord said, “Now hear what I have to say! When there are prophets among you, I reveal myself to them in visions and speak to them in dreams. 

33.      It is different when I speak with my servant Moses; I have put him in charge of all my people Israel. So I speak to him face-to-face, clearly and not in riddles; he has even seen my form! How dare you speak against my servant Moses?” The Lord was angry with them; and so as he departed. GNB

34.      Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite.  “Has the Lord spoken only through Moses?” they asked. “Hasn’t he also spoken through us?” And the Lord heard this.

35.      (Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.) At once the Lord said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, “Come out to the tent of meeting, all three of you.” So the three of them went out. 

36.      Then the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud; he stood at the entrance to the tent and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When the two of them stepped forward,  he said, “Listen to my words: “When there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams.

37.      But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house.  With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?”  The anger of the Lord burned against them, and he left them. NIV

38.      Numbers 16:1 – 11 Now Korah son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men,  And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the Israelites, 250 princes or leaders of the congregation called to the assembly, men well known and of distinction.

39.       And they gathered together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, (Enough of you!) You take too much upon yourselves, seeing that all the congregation is holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them. Why then do you lift yourselves up above the assembly of the Lord?

40.      And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face. And he said to Korah and all his company, In the morning the Lord will show who are His and who is holy, and will cause him to come near to Him; him whom He has chosen will He cause to come near to Him.

41.      Do this: Take censers, Korah and all your company, And put fire in them and put incense upon them before the Lord tomorrow; and the man whom the Lord chooses shall be holy. You take too much upon yourselves, you sons of Levi.  And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, you sons of Levi:

42.      Does it seem but a small thing to you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to Himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord and to stand before the congregation to minister to them,

43.      And that He has brought you near to Him, and all your brethren the sons of Levi with you? Would you seek the priesthood also?  Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against the Lord. And Aaron, what is he that you murmur against him? AMP

44.      One day Korah (son of Izhar, grandson of Kohath, and a descendant of Levi) conspired with Dathan and Abiram (the sons of Eliab) and On (the son of Peleth), all three from the tribe of Reuben,  to incite a rebellion against Moses. Two hundred and fifty popular leaders, all members of the Assembly, were involved.

45.      They went to Moses and Aaron and said, “We have had enough of your presumption; you are no better than anyone else; everyone in Israel has been chosen of the Lord, and he is with all of us. What right do you have to put yourselves forward, claiming that we must obey you, and acting as though you were greater than anyone else among all these people of the Lord?”

46.       When Moses heard what they were saying he fell face downward to the ground.  Then he said to Korah and to those who were with him, “In the morning the Lord will show you who are his, and who is holy, and whom he has chosen as his priest. 

47.      Do this: You, Korah, and all those with you, take censers tomorrow and light them, and put incense upon them before the Lord, and we will find out whom the Lord has chosen.^[a] You are the presumptuous ones, you sons of Levi.”

48.      Then Moses spoke again to Korah: “Does it seem a small thing to you that the God of Israel has chosen you from among all the people of Israel to be near to himself as you work in the Tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the people to minister to them?   Is it nothing to you that he has given this task to only you Levites? And now are you demanding the priesthood also? 

49.       That is what you are really after! That is why you are revolting against Jehovah. And what has Aaron done, that you are dissatisfied with him?” Then Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram (the sons of Eliab), but they refused to come. LB

50.       Korah son of Izhar, from the Levite clan of Kohath, rebelled against the leadership of Moses. He was joined by three members of the tribe of Reuben—Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth—and by 250 other Israelites, well-known leaders chosen by the community.

51.       They assembled before Moses and Aaron and said to them, “You have gone too far! All the members of the community belong to the Lord, and the Lord is with all of us. Why, then, Moses, do you set yourself above the Lord's community?”

52.      When Moses heard this, he threw himself on the ground and prayed. Then he said to Korah and his followers, “Tomorrow morning the Lord will show us who belongs to him; he will let the one who belongs to him, that is, the one he has chosen, approach him at the altar. 

53.      Tomorrow morning you and your followers take fire pans, put live coals and incense on them, and take them to the altar. Then we will see which of us the Lord has chosen. You Levites are the ones who have gone too far!” Moses continued to speak to Korah. “Listen, you Levites! 

54.      Do you consider it a small matter that the God of Israel has set you apart from the rest of the community, so that you can approach him, perform your service in the Lord's Tent, and minister to the community and serve them? 

55.      He has let you and all the other Levites have this honor—and now you are trying to get the priesthood too!  When you complain against Aaron, it is really against the Lord that you and your followers are rebelling.” GNB

56.      Korah son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and certain Reubenites—Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth—became insolent^[a]  and rose up against Moses. With them were 250 Israelite men, well-known community leaders who had been appointed members of the council. 

57.      They came as a group to oppose Moses and Aaron and said to them, “You have gone too far! The whole community is holy, every one of them, and the Lord is with them. Why then do you set yourselves above the Lord’s assembly?”  When Moses heard this, he fell facedown. 

58.       Then he said to Korah and all his followers: “In the morning the Lord will show who belongs to him and who is holy, and he will have that person come near him. The man he chooses he will cause to come near him. 

59.       You, Korah, and all your followers are to do this: Take censers  and tomorrow put burning coals and incense in them before the Lord. The man the Lord chooses will be the one who is holy. You Levites have gone too far!”

60.      Moses also said to Korah, “Now listen, you Levites!  Isn’t it enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the rest of the Israelite community and brought you near himself to do the work at the Lord’s tabernacle and to stand before the community and minister to them? 

61.       He has brought you and all your fellow Levites near himself, but now you are trying to get the priesthood too. ¹ It is against the Lord that you and all your followers have banded together. Who is Aaron that you should grumble against him?” NIV

62.      1 Samuel 8:4 – 7 All the elders of Israel assembled and came to Samuel at Ramah  And said to him, Behold, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways; now appoint us a king to rule over us like all the other nations.

63.      But it displeased Samuel when they said, Give us a king to govern us. And Samuel prayed to the Lord.  And the Lord said to Samuel, Hearken to the voice of the people in all they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not be King over them. AMP

64.       Finally the leaders of Israel met in Ramah to discuss the matter with Samuel.  They told him that since his retirement things hadn’t been the same, for his sons were not good men.“Give us a king like all the other nations have,” they pleaded. 

65.       Samuel was terribly upset and went to the Lord for advice.  “Do as they say,” the Lord replied, “for I am the one they are rejecting, not you—they don’t want me to be their king any longer. LB

66.      Then all the leaders of Israel met together, went to Samuel in Ramah, and said to him, “Look, you are getting old and your sons don't follow your example. So then, appoint a king to rule over us, so that we will have a king, as other countries have.” 

67.       Samuel was displeased with their request for a king; so he prayed to the Lord, and the Lord said, “Listen to everything the people say to you. You are not the one they have rejected; I am the one they have rejected as their king. GNB

68.      So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah. They said to him, “You are old, and your sons do not follow your ways; now appoint a king to lead^[a] us, such as all the other nation shave.”

69.      But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord.  And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. NIV

70.      All these Scriptures will point you to awful consequences of rebelling against a man of God. When you go through them, you see people that lifted themselves up against men of God at various times and how God handled their cases together with that of their families and their means of livelihood.

71.      These things are written for examples. They are preserved as a warning unto us so that we should not repeat the sad mistakes those people made by stretching out their hands, coming out openly to challenge people God placed in authority, because they felt they (authority) were too junior to them.

72.      All these cases I outlined there, you notice how junior those boys were and the LORD picked all of them at various times for different purposes. Then the Sanhedrins and the Herodians rose up to challenge the appointments and their ordinations.

WHY JUDGE ANOTHER MAN’S SERVANT?

1.          Romans 14:4 from the Good News Bible.  Who are you to judge the servants of someone else? Who are you to judge another man’s servant?

2.           It is their own Master who will decide whether they succeed or fail. It is their own master who appointed them that will determine whether they will succeed or fail.

3.          And they will succeed, because the Lord is able to make them succeed. GNB Put your hands together. They will succeed because the LORD who ordained them is able to make them succeed. Then you go and break the sky.

4.          Who can be against one who God supports? What is written in the book concerning you is written. Nobody can erase it. There is no competition in destiny. You think they will fail. Their Master will help them to stand.

5.          They are God’s servants, not yours. They are responsible to him, not to you. They are responsible to HIM, not to you. Faultfinder! Let him tell them whether they are right or wrong. Let God tell them whether they are right or wrong. And God is able to make them do as they should. LB

6.          Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: God can never allow him to fail ...for God is able to make him stand. KJV So, stop praying that he will be put to shame. As long as I am in the hollow of God’s hands, HE can never let me fall.

7.          ⁴ Who are you to pass judgment on and censure another’s household servant? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he shall stand and be upheld, for the Master (the Lord) is mighty to support him and make him stand. AMP

8.          You see, praying for a man God has placed in authority, you are making a wrong prayer. God does not answer such silly prayers. Children of God! If you believe in God, it will be for your own good. Look at verse 10 of the same Romans 14.

9.          Verse 10: You have no right to criticize your brother or look down on him. You have no right to criticize your brother or look down on him because he is a small Pastor by your assessment. Remember, each of us will stand personally before the Judgment Seat of God. LB Amen. All of us will stand personally before the judgment of God.

10.      I AM THE ONE. I AM THE SUPREME JUDGE. I WILL DETERMINE WHO WILL SUCCEED OR WHO WILL FAIL, FOR GOD HIMSELF KNOWS THOSE THAT WILL RISE AND THOSE THAT WILL FALL. IS IT NOT SCRIPTURAL? WHO ARE YOU?

11.       You have no right to criticize your brother or look down on him. Remember, each of us will stand personally before the Judgment Seat of God. LB Thank you!

12.      Did it tell you to come with your wife? Your children? Your Brother? Never! Who are you? Do not ever. All of you trailed on a dangerous ground. May be you were having the opinion that writing this to the Son of Man will make him to love you more.

13.      That goes to show that you do not know who He is. You are not yet personally acquainted with Him. Those that are personally acquainted with Him watch Him from a distance. They do not approach Him anyhow.

14.      Saint Paul said, “It is a fearful thing for one to find himself standing in judgment before God for He is a consuming fire.” You must know what He delights Himself in and what He hates.

15.       That is why I tell people, “Do  not make that sad mistake of going about telling people that you are a friend of the Son of man until the Son of Man has called you His friend.” Amen.

16.      I know today is another day. God has strengthened Me for your sake. Strengthen the Man in your right hand, even The Son of Man Whom you have made strong that we might worship you acceptably. Is it not Scripture? Amen. I am coming to something.

17.      Romans 16: 17 – 18  I appeal to you, brethren, to be on your guard concerning those who create dissensions... Be on your guard concerning those false Brethren who go about among you causing dissensions, divisions, variants, biasing your minds against your fellow brethren so that you will no longer continue with the confidence you had already reposed on them.

18.      Why do you want me to be in enmity with those you are not in good terms with? Am I crazy? Do I know the cause of the disagreement between the two of you? Why should I join you to hate somebody who did me no harm.

19.      If my friend jumps into the River Niger because of his frustrations with life, does it mean I should do the same? Is there any wisdom there? Yet you come here to sit down in the presence of the LORD God Almighty. Oh No No No No No! God is judging the Saints.  

20.      Romans 16: 17–18   I appeal to you, brethren, to be on your guard concerning those who create dissensions and difficulties and cause divisions,... You now become suspicious of your Brethren thereby bringing divisions and you then tell Me that there are Oppressed and Oppressor, cabal and also Kabaka.

21.      You go into the bush, set it ablaze and then come out to raise alarm about fire outbreak when you were the one that did it. Evil spirit. Evil character. You think that with the gallon in his hand, he is making effort to quenching the fire when actually the gallon contains fuel.

22.      Listen to Me. I said it without respect of persons or for any profession. Every lawyer is a troubleshooter. A lawyer specializes in magnifying a small problem so that his services can be hired.

23.      No lawyer will give you the impression that he is losing a case in the court and he knows he is going to lose. Is there any other thing he is doing for a living?

24.      Before you are through with what you are telling him, he will ask you a silly question, “This is a light case. Do you want to declare a war or a fight? All in your hands.” Do you want to declare a war or a fight? A funny question. You will begin to think about the difference between war and fight.

25.      Yes!  He is an expert.  He can separate the two. “Ok. You can declare an ordinary fight so that the court can separate us. But on the other hand, you can declare a war. I tell you, I will imprison him for life. I will get him imprisoned. If I lose there, I will file appeal. One way! Let me show you. There are many loopholes I will capitalize on. In short, I am going to finish him. I will finish him. I finish him”.

26.      Your heart will then be over charged. When the chips are down and you call him, he will tell you that he has a case at Sri Lanka and another one in Degema. He will now tell the judge, “He has not paid me my legal fees. So keep on adjourning it.”

27.      Any day you pay him fully, you will hear rumour the next day. Before you can say anything, he will slam the door of his car and walk out on you. The loser is the one that got deceived.

28.      One that makes a living through litigation, does he have peace? One that makes a living from troubles, does he have peace? Making peace means being jobless. Does he have any other occupation? If we can settle our disputes, they will die of starvation.

29.      What am I saying? It is a training that is engraved in them. Oftentimes, you see them unleashing the thing ignorantly. So, when you are approaching a lawyer, be very careful. If he is advising you, be very careful, especially on spiritual matters.

30.      He may be under the anointing of a super case he is handling in a big court and then use the anointing of the case to counsel you thinking you are his client. I am telling you the truth. Immediately I read Bro Joe’s write-up, I automatically separated it from Sunday’s copyright. I say, “Sunday’s copyright.” Do you know what I call copyright?

31.      Ok. I will handle this case o. But today, I want to show you Scriptures, get you balanced, so that you wait for Me. If I do not show you Scriptures before handing it, you will call Me a wicked man. But after showing you Scriptures, I think I can execute right judgment. Yes!

32.      RULING IS NOT JUDGMENT IN THE COURT. THERE IS A DAY FOR RULING. THERE IS A DAY FOR JUDGMENT. Thank you! I am coming to something. We have lawyers here. We are living in an informed society. So, if I am erring, they know. If I am speaking the truth, they know. Even your conscience will bear witness that I am not deviating one bit. Amen.

33.       Romans 16:17–18 I appeal to you, brethren, to be on your guard concerning those who create dissensions and difficulties and cause divisions, in opposition to the doctrine (the teaching) which you have been taught. (I warn you to turn aside from them,) to avoid them.

34.       For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites and base desires, and by ingratiating and flattering speech, they beguile the hearts... By doing what? ...by ingratiating and flattering speech, they beguile the hearts of the unsuspecting and simpleminded (people). AMP

35.      By ingratiating; Flattering spirit. Even when you are in error, he will tell you that you are right and he will keep promoting you. But the other way, he is plotting your downfall, “You see the way this Brother is going, his cup is already full. By the time I am through with him, by the time the Son of Man will go through my write-up; in short, it will hit him like a blinding spell” On a second look his opponent will say, “This man has buried himself alive.”  

36.      Romans 16:17–18 ¹⁷ And now there is one more thing to say before I end this letter. Stay away from those who cause divisions and are upsetting people’s faith, teaching things about Christ that are contrary to what you have been taught. 

37.      ¹⁸ Such teachers are not working for our Lord Jesus but only want gain for themselves. They are good speakers, and simple-minded people are often fooled by them. LB Simple-minded people are often fooled by them. They are eloquent in speech. Good speakers. Freelancers. Steer clear from such people. Run away. Run for your life.

38.      Verse 17: I urge you, my friends: watch out for those who cause divisions and upset people's faith and go against the teaching which you have received. Keep away from them!  For those who do such things are not serving Christ our Lord, but their own appetites.

39.      They are serving their own appetite, their own belly. If you go to King James Version, it said, “They are serving their own belly.” Things that will satisfy the belly. When you see such people, place his brand of beer before him and then polish it with pepper soup; place tapioca before him.

40.      He will continue talking through the food in his mouth and will even lose consciousness of himself, “In short, He wants to stop us from our normal eating and drinking which Nsukka is known for.” This is because their own love means eating, drinking and dancing. Eating away their lives. The more we are together the happier we shall be. Local Gin Association.

41.      If you dare speak, they will complain of being taken back to Moses’ laws, “We are no longer under the law.” Who is this person saying we are no longer under the law? What is law? Why don’t you go mad? Go and commit murder for you are no longer under the law.

42.      And someone was posted there who said, “I do not want it here. God says No. enough is enough.” He was labelled a tyrant. He has now become a Boko Haram. He has also become a Fulani herdsman.

43.      ANY pastor THAT WITHOLDS THE TRUTH WILL CAUSE EVIL TO TRIUMPH IN HIS LOCAL ASSEMBLY. WHEN YOU WITHHOLD TRUTH, YOU CREATE ROOM FOR EVIL TO TRIUMPH, TO THRIVE. EVIL WILL MOUNT UP THERE. Amen.

44.       By their fine words and flattering speech they deceive innocent people. GNB

45.      Philippians 3:17 – 19  Keep on imitating me, my brothers and sisters. Pay attention to those who follow the right example... Keep on imitating Me My fellow Brothers and Sisters. Let those who follow good examples be your models, your role models, your icons. Emulate those that follow good example.

46.      Pay attention to those who follow the right example that we have set for you.  I have told you this many times before, and now I repeat it with tears: there are many whose lives make them enemies of Christ's death on the cross. 

47.       They are going to end up in hell,... They are going to end up where? ...in hell, because their god is their bodily desires. Their appetite. They are proud of what they should be ashamed of, and they think only of things that belong to this world. GNB Amen.

48.      1 Corinthians 1:10 – 13  But, dear brothers, I beg you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to stop arguing among yourselves. To do what? stop arguing among yourselves. Let there be real harmony Let there be what? real harmony...

49.      But every now and then, you hear somebody calling a meeting. How I wish one of their mentors called Ogechi is here today, who was quoted in their letter, that took it upon himself to summon emergency meeting. Can you imagine a common member summoning the Pastor for a meeting? Pastor, you are foolish to have attended that meeting.

50.      Who are you to organize a meeting without the knowledge of the Pastor? Only for you to summon the Pastor to come and appear. Appear for what? Who is in charge? How many drivers will hold the steering? Who was the vehicle assigned to? Who will give account of that vehicle.

51.      Let Me tell you. One thing saved you from My wrath. That you walked away and they said you slighted them and that it was a sign of disrespect, because they err not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.

52.      NOBODY NO MATTER HOW HIGHLY PLACED HAS ANY RIGHT TO SUMMON A MEETING OF THE CONGREGATION WITHOUT THE PASTOR’S CONSENT. How can you host a meeting in My own house without my consent.

53.      When Bishop Nath wanted to call for a meeting at Umuahia, he called Me I told him to go to the Pastor. The Pastor called Me to verify and I said, “Yes. He has called Me and I referred him to you. If you feel the meeting will be a good thing to you, allow him.”

54.      He opened the gate and that was how the Congregation responded to Bishop Nath’s meeting which put him (Bishop Nath) out. He was the one that hanged himself. He thought he was calling a meeting where all of them will come and condemn the Pastor. He ended it hanging himself.

55.      WE DO NOT USE MEETINGS TO RUN THE CHURCH OF GOD. ANY ATMOSPHERE THAT IS ACHIEVED THROUGH CONSULTATION IS A FALSE ATMOSPHERE. THE ATMOSPHERE PREVALENT IN EVERY FELLOWSHIP MUST BE AS A RESULT OF OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S WORD. FINISH.

56.      That is why I do not call meetings. Amen. May be some people might be holding it against Me or they think I am avoiding something. What am I avoiding? WHY CALLING FOR A MEETING WHEN EVERYTHING IS ADDRESSED THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD? CALLING FOR A MEETING IS A SIGN OF UNBELIEF. Amen. If I am obeying and you are obeying, any reason for meeting?

57.       1 Corinthians 1:10–13  But, dear brothers, I beg you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to stop arguing among yourselves. Let there be real harmony so that there won’t be splits in the church. I plead with you to be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. 

58.       For some of those who live at Chloe’s house have told me of your arguments and quarrels, dear brothers. ¹² Some of you are saying, “I am a follower of Paul”; and others say that they are for Apollos or for Peter;.. I am among the oppressed group. I am among the oppressors. You fulfill dangerous Scriptures ignorantly. Amen.

59.       Some of you are saying, “I am a follower of Paul”; and others say that they are for Apollos or for Peter;... I am a follower of Sunday Chukwu and his group. I am a follower of Pastor Chibuzor: The cabal, the Boko Haram and the Fulani herdsmen and his group. You see what people are planting in the Fellowship in the hearts of silly people who were gullible to their antics.

60.      That is why the Bible said to such people that come with such heresies, do not give them even a second, that the truth of the Gospel might continue. But if you give them a second, they will ask for one hour.

61.        Some of you are saying, “I am a follower of Paul”; and others say that they are for Apollos or for Peter; and some that they alone are the true followers of Christ.  And so, in effect, you have broken Christ into many pieces. But did I, Paul, die for your sins? Were any of you baptized in my name?

62.      Is Christ divided. Both Sunday Chukwu and Pastor Chibuzor, did any of them die for you? Amen. You be perfectly joined together, minding the same thing, saying the same thing, in the same judgment, in the same vision, in the same thought, there be no schism among you, for it is a sign of defeat for you to begin to petition against your Pastor and against yourselves. Is it not a sign of defeat? Rubbish!

63.      Philippians 2:14 – 16 I know many might be thinking that I have overstayed. I can never overstay. That was the reason why I gave you Scriptures you will read at home.

64.       In everything you do, stay away from complaining and arguing Go to the Bible you see in the Old Testament where the people complained and murmured. And God numbered them for destruction. He destroyed them as they got along. In everything you do, stay away from complaining and arguing.

65.       so that no one can speak a word of blame against you. You are to live clean, innocent live as children of God in a dark world full of people who are crooked and stubborn. Shine out among them like beacon lights,  holding out to them the Word of Life. Then when Christ returns, how glad I will be that my work among you was so worthwhile. LB

66.        Do all things without grumbling and faultfinding and complaining (against God) and questioning and doubting (among yourselves), That you may show yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish (faultless, unrebukable) in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation (spiritually perverted and perverse), among whom you are seen as bright lights (stars or beacons shining out clearly) in the [dark] world,

67.      Holding out [to it] and offering [to all men] the Word of Life, so that in the day of Christ I may have something of which exultantly to rejoice and glory in that I did not run my race in vain or spend my labor to no purpose. AMP

68.      Romans 1:10 The reason for all these things. I keep pleading that somehow by God’s will I may now at last prosper and come to you. Amen.

69.      Pay attention. I want to handle this because it is a spirit that is injected into the heart of an innocent fellow. In one of those petitions, especially that of Bro Joe Ogbuka, he whipped up a dangerous sentiment, using too many semantics, which the unlearned can find difficult even to grasp. But not the Son of Man.

70.      Sister Moses is here today. I give God the praise. The Son of Man has never heard that Nsukka Brethren are neglecting Sister Moses and family. She has not even complained to Me for one day that she is suffering neglect from the Household of God at Nsukka.

71.      And I thank God you never said she complained to you, but you said you perceived. You are entitled to your own human perception. It may be right or wrong. May be because you lack the courage to go to her. You said instead of reconciling with her, that they are bombarding her from the pulpit, making it impossible for her and her family to be reconciled with the Brethren. In other words, throwing them afar.

72.      I have never received any complaint as such. Neither have I perceived anything like that going on in her family, for her family is My family annex.

73.      I will speak in a way that will humiliate you as Bro Joe Ogbuka now. You whipped up a sentiment of how you summoned the Brethren for a meeting to discuss ways you can come together with your finances to assist Sister in her hardship, at least by assuming responsibility over the school fees of some of her children and alleviate the difficulties they are having in feeding.

74.      How many heard it? I can read it fresh. I said, “Put it in a box.” Pay attention. You said it was another way of rekindling in her heart the problems created by Nsukka Fellowship which culminated into the death of her husband. It was a reminder which should not have been there, instead of reconciling.

75.      May be your informant was responsible for all that you penned down, not knowing the weight it carries. Were you there? You were outside. Can you stand up and tell the world what killed Bishop Moses? Do you know how his problem started? Do you know the extent we went trying to help him survive? Do you know how many stages of operations he underwent?

76.      Even her daughter that was later kidnapped. I know you must have heard many stories, both true and false from your informants. I do not need to guess. I know it is pure truth. For some people came to you immediately you embraced this Faith and started taking appointments with you. Prominent among them was Abraham Paul. I caught him. I caught you.

77.      I equally warned you never to engage any Brother or Sister in your business. If peradventure there could be one may be to work with you in your law chambers, recruit the person as an individual, based on the person’s proficiency, not on the basis of Brotherhood or sisterhood, for your business belongs to you. If the person errs, discipline the person as the owner of the work. If the person warrants dismissal, dismiss the person. And do not ever call Me to attest for anybody’s appointment. I will never.

78.      Pay attention everybody. Anybody might be ignorant about the family of Bishop Moses. It is not the Son of Man. But it is not something we make public. We gave our late Bishop a Bishopric burial that shook heaven and earth. In short, the Bridal faith made his burial a reference point, even in the generations to come.

79.      And in all, we never for one day charged the family, we assumed responsibility for everything as it is our doctrine and our manner of life. We know what we passed through. Eventually, he died. Anybody that is telling you about Nsukka Brethren, did the person tell you that when Bishop Moses was at Enugu because of the problem with the wife, I assigned the Brethren, the house of Bishop Moses to look after that family including this Brother, Chibuzor and the children rejected the entire Brethren, rebelled and called them all manner of names and accused them frivolously.

80.      The mother came back, without proper investigation, she cemented the children’s evil habits. I summoned her when I heard about it and warned her to desist from it. It was an indirect way the children decided to use to break loose. If you stop Brethren from going there to be in charge in your absence. I bet you, they will abandon the home and run helter-skelter.

81.      Brethren, did it fulfill to the letter? Emmanuel ran away. Afoma ran away. Creating more problems for their father who was lying in the sick bed. Some were found at Abuja. Some were found in the forest. Before we knew it many many things happened for which cause I took it upon Myself to call their father’s relations living at Nsukka (one night) to know what was happening.

82.      The man called Me from Bishop Moses house that he saw hell. Even their father’s relations, these children could not accommodate and they never knew the whereabout of the first two. This is the much I want you to know there.

83.      If you want to know further, pray that you will fall sick. Be in the sick bed and be receiving informants. DO NOT BE AFRAID OF THE CRIMINAL SUSPECT. BE AFRAID OF THE INFORMANT. DO NOT BE AFRAID OF THE CRIMINAL SUSPECT. YOUR SUPPOSED ENEMY. BE AFRAID OF THE INFORMANT.

84.      That is why when you come to Me to talk bla bla bla, I pretend I am with you when I know I am not with you. I rate you. I place you where you belong to.

85.      IF YOU ARE A FEEBLE-MINDED PEOPLE, YOU WILL BE DISCUSSING HUMAN BEINGS. YOU ARE OF AVERAGE TYPE, YOU DISCUSS POLITICS AND EVENTS. IF YOU ARE A GREAT MIND, YOU DISCUSS IDEAS.

86.      So, your discussion will help Me to do the right placement. Place you where you belong, without even letting you know. I may call you a fool without uttering a word.

87.      What is more? Develop this habit. When such people come to you to talk, have it as a philosophy. DO NOT TELL ME ABOUT HIM, FOR YOU MUST TELL HIM ABOUT ME. DO NOT TELL ME ABOUT HIM OR ABOUT HER, FOR YOU MUST TELL HIM OR HER ABOUT ME, WHICH IS THE HANDY WORK OF THE INFORMANT. Amen.

88.      Now, let me land on that spurious, useless allegation that contains no iota of truth. Sister Moses is here. You can see her privately. To the best of My knowledge, she is not suffering neglect or deprivation. We assumed some of her responsibilities, even till this afternoon and we are not prepared to shelve it one bit. Rather we are going further.

89.      Let Me ask you a question. From the day you came back to this Faith, I know you have been hearing from My mouth about the Scholarship Fund. Have you given Me one naira for scholarship? Have you asked Me who and who are the beneficiaries of the scholarship fund? Answer Me from there? [Bro Joe answers, “No sir!”] No sir!

90.      But you wanted to whip up unnecessary sentiment by calling a meeting so that you can see whether you can raise money and help Sister. Before we started helping those we are helping, did we invite their attention? Did they ever know what we had already planned and executed? And we are still executing till today.

91.      This is because we have a resolve. Not everybody. Few of us. Because you did not care and you do not want to care. You do not want to know. Few of us came out. We remembered how Bishop Moses was contributing to the needy when he was alive. And we resolved that while we live, we must make sure that his dreams concerning his family must materialize.

92.      You saw the house. Enquire from the Brethren the nature of that house when Bishop died, before Sister took it upon herself, using the little resources to make it what it is today. It was a shanty. A mere trash that was refurbished, rehabilitated and reconstructed.

93.      Brethren am I telling lies? Your problem is that you mingle with fools. A learned fellow does not mingle with fools and fools do not have nothing to offer you than gossip. Foolishness! Sit down.

94.      You never toed the path of Saint Paul. When Saint Paul went to Jerusalem, he said he was not going there to see ordinary people, but he went to see the pillars of the church. Don’t you know that this Faith has Pillars?

95.      But you came and started associating with riff-raffs. People that are like you, behaving like Umezulike. A chief judge who decided to mingle with Okada riders, Okey painter, Basil, and the other boy, Ebuka. A chief judge. Let us be careful.

96.      YOUR CHARACTER IS A REFLECTION OF THE PEOPLE YOU ASSOCIATE WITH. MINGLE WITH THE WISE AND YOU BEHAVE WISELY.

97.      You have been hearing about the scholarship, scholarship scholarship. As a learned fellow who might be privileged to render help in one way or the other, by now, you should have asked Me, “Son of Man! Please, I want to know about this scholarship fund. Is it Bridal scholarship or few people volunteered? How is it financed? Who and who are the beneficiaries?” And then see if I will not give you all the information you need. The register is in My bag there. I carry the register about.

98.      And then you want to gather meeting. If you want to give her a bag of rice, the whole of Nsukka will gather as if she is a beggar. She is not a beggar.

99.      And let me sound this warning. As long as I live, this Bridal Faith has no widow. By our Doctrine, Church Order, there is no single widow in this Faith. Mama Ikebude is not a widow, for she has grown up children that are taking care of her. Let us go to the Scriptures.

100.   1 Timothy 5:3–16 I will use Good News Bible Show respect for widows who really are all alone.  But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they should learn first to carry out their religious duties toward their own family and in this way repay their parents and grandparents, because that is what pleases God. 

101.   A widow who is all alone, with no one to take care of her, has placed her hope in God and continues to pray and ask him for his help night and day.  But a widow who gives herself to pleasure has already died, even though she lives. 

102.    Give them these instructions, so that no one will find fault with them.  But if any do not take care of their relatives, especially the members of their own family, they have denied the faith and are worse than an unbeliever.

103.    Do not add any widow to the list of widows unless she is over sixty years of age. What? Do not add any widow to the list of widows unless she is over sixty years of age. If you know you are a widow here with over sixty years of age, stand up. Over sixty years of age. Over three score years according to King James version. Over! Do we have any? Do we have any?

104.   Bro Joe and Bro Sunday, be quiet over this matter. If you do not want to help any family, keep it to yourself. If you want to help somebody must you do consultation? Must you carry the world along. You are a Roman catholic. You better go to the Radio and make announcement before you do it. But pray that the person will not reject it when you bring it.

105.   Do not add any widow to the list of widows unless she is over sixty years of age. In addition, she must have been married only once  and have a reputation for good deeds: a woman who brought up her children well, received strangers in her home, performed humble duties for other Christians, helped people in trouble, and devoted herself to doing good.

106.    But do not include younger widows in the list; because when their desires make them want to marry, they turn away from Christ, and so become guilty of breaking their earlier promise to him. 

107.   They also learn to waste their time in going around from house to house; but even worse, they learn to be gossips and busybodies, talking of things they should not.  So I would prefer that the younger widows get married, have children, and take care of their homes, so as to give our enemies no chance of speaking evil of us. 

108.    For some widows have already turned away to follow Satan.  But if any Christian woman has widows in her family, she must take care of them and not put the burden on the church, so that it may take care of the widows who are all alone.

109.   This is the doctrine lest tomorrow you think that somebody is cheating you or nobody is taking care of me, seeing I am a widow. You are not a widow. We are helping you because we want to help you and not because you are a widow.

110.   We are helping you because we love you and we love God. We do not want heathen to laugh at you. Otherwise, we can commit you into the hands of your relations who are the beneficiaries of all you have. Both your property and your children belong to your relations. Do they belong to the Son of Man? Do they belong to the Bridal Faith.

111.    Let nobody ever carry this matter too far. Do not think I am crazy. If I do not say it, Bro Joe in his spurious petition has sowed seeds of discord in the heart of our Sister Moses, but I believe she is intelligent and she knows the truth on this matter. That it was a doctrine even before her husband died. And she is not the only one that lost her husband in our midst. Amen.

112.   In all their petitions, receive My reply. I will give you My reply from the Scripture. The summary.

113.    Zechariah 3:1 – 5 Living Bible only. Then the Angel showed me (in my vision) Joshua the High Priest standing before the Angel of the Lord; and Satan was there too, at the Angel’s right hand, accusing Joshua of many things. Who was at the Angel’s right hand accusing Joshua of many things? Satan!

114.    And the Lord said to Satan, “I reject your accusations, Satan; I do what? “I reject your accusations, Satan; yes, I, the Lord, for I have decided to be merciful to Jerusalem—I rebuke you.

115.   I have decreed mercy to Joshua and his nation; I will show mercy to whosoever I want to. they are like a burning stick pulled out of the fire.” Amen. I reject your accusation, you accuser of the Brethren, for I have decreed it.

116.   I have purposed it, to show mercy on him, for he is My chosen one to bear My name in the Household of God Nsukka. He is accountable to Me and not to anybody. I am the one that will determine whether he will fail or succeed. But he will succeed because My name is upon him. Who can impute sin on anybody the LORD has chosen? If God is with him, who can be against him?

117.   Hosea 10:12 King James Version. What you should be doing. All of you. Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord... It is not yet late. It is time to seek the LORD, peradventure there might be mercy at the end of the tunnel.

118.   On this note, I invite our Pastor to the pulpit.

119.   Thank you for giving Me audience.
