ODOEMENA THE SON OF MAN “THE ROCK OF AGES” “Truth
has no substitute” © BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY WORLD-WIDE
Once you take in
the Word of God, live by the Word of God, your life will bear witness that you
are of God. Because, all that God condemned, you must condemn them. All that
God delights in, you must love them.
—Son of Man
(MARRIAGE—THE OLDEST INSTITUTION
ORDAINED BY GOD-Volume 1)
God
has purposely picked a Bride for Himself through the mouth of the Prophets,
through the mouth of the Apostles. He severed them, reveals His will to the
Apostles and Prophets and gave them His nature. As long as you are in this
Bridal Ministry and you hear flying words from anywhere and you start
panicking, it is a sure sign that you are not in the Faith of Son of Man.
We
can publish it wide that we are the saved of this dispensation because the
obstacle has been removed. The plan God has for salvation, the nature God has
for salvation, has been revealed to us as revealed to the Son of Man and He
revealed it to us. –The Son of Man.

CHAPTER 1
LET
CHRIST BE YOUR EXAMPLE IN WORDS AND IN DEEDS
|
F
|
irst Thessalonians 5:22, “Abstain from evil, shrink from he that gives
aloft from it every evil “in whatever form or whatever type it maybe”
2.
Oh glory! In whatever form, in whatever
shape; no matter the name of that evil, the Bible said “give away, do not come
near it, do not get associated with it.
3.
“And may the God of peace Himself sanctified
you through and through, separate you from profane things, make you pure and holy
consecrated to God and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and
complete and found blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ”
AMP.
4.
Note, and found blameless at the coming
of Christ our Lord with spirit, soul and body; everything in you.
5.
Remember the topic: “the essence of the Gospel we preach is to
present every CHILD OF GOD blameless in the sight of God”. That is the
goal, that is the target. Anything outside it is useless.
6.
Look at Titus chapter one, the Lord
included it as a qualification for a Deacon or a Bishop.
7.
Verses 4-6 “Titus my true son in our common Faith...”
8.
In our what? Common Faith. In other
words, Titus obtained the same Faith with St. Paul, it is common among all the
saints.
9.
“Grace and peace from God the Father and
Christ Jesus our Saviour. The reason I left you in Crete was that you might
strength out what was left unfinished and
10.
… Elders in every town as I directed
you. An Elder must be blameless, he must be husband of one wife”
NIV.
11.
Note, he must be blameless and husband
of one wife. There are so many other things that are alined after it but I want
to underline that word “blameless.” An Elder, that is a Bishop, it is
applicable to a Deacon.
12.
“To Titus, mine own son after the common Faith:
Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our
Savior.
13.
For this cause left I thee in Crete,
that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders
in every city, as I had appointed thee: If any be blameless, the husband of one
wife, having Faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.” KJV.
14.
“These Elders should be men who are of
unquestionable in integrity and are irreproachable, the husband of [but] one
wife”. AMP.
15.
These Elders should be men who are of unquestionable
integrity and irreproachable! Somebody that is without reproach. It means
without blame. For you to be a Deacon, a Bishop or Elder in the Church; you
must be a man of unquestionable integrity. Unquestionable character in the Church.
16.
Every brother must see you as a source
of solace, comfort and company. Moreover, every brother or sister must see you
as an encouragement. Not like Brother Moses.
17.
We need encouragement in this Eha-Amufu Church,
instead of the person becoming a source of encouragement; he becomes a source
of discouragement all through.
18.
I remember my last visit to this
Eha-Amufu Church was to judge his case. You remember I visited the matter a day
back. My last appearance in Eha-Amufu was to judge Brother Moses’ case, when he
became stubborn, arrogant and uncontrollable in the Church. He troubled the Church
for many, many months; behaving recklessly.
19.
If he could sit back quietly and cast
his mind back, he would have recollected the voice that delayed his appointment
as a Deacon. You know that there was a voice that said his appointment was
delayed for too long, for many, many reasons. Because he could not measure up,
he could not come up.
20.
At a time he was trying to measure up,
the wife was failing. At a time his wife was trying to measure up, he himself
was failing. However, this time around two of them are now lowering the
standard.
21.
I am only allowing you to remain in that
office because you entered that ditch with that office. Thus, if you are
climbing out, let me hope you will climb out with that office. The same way
your Pastor entered into that ditch with his office, and he is trying to climb
out with the office, with his wife also.
22.
Other brethren, learn a lesson from
there. Remember it takes Almighty God to wipe off this fault because already
their ministries have been blamed. That is why we are now pleading God to
remove the blame, otherwise, they just escort us like Brother Gibson, pray that
Almighty God will remove this stain, that is the blame.
23.
The same way it is to all of us in this
most holy Faith, so keep on praying that Almighty God will show us the last mercy
and permit His grace to blot out all those old, old blemishes.
24.
Hebrews 7 verses 25-26, “Wherefore
he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing
he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
25.
For such a high priest became us, who is
holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the
heavens”.
26.
Note the quality of the man whose
servants we are—a high priest that is set aside from sinners, separated from
sinners, blameless in all his ways, pure and holy. That is his quality and that
is the man we should look on to who is the Author and Finisher of our Faith. Let
Christ be your example in words and in deeds.
27.
2nd Peter chapter 3 verse
13-14, “But in keeping with His promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven
and a new earth. The home of righteousness. So then dear friends, since you are
looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and
at peace with him...”
28.
Make every effort, you that are looking for
the translations of the saint. You want to be in the number that will be
translated.
29.
“...But
we look for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise, in which
righteousness (uprightness, freedom from sin, and right standing with God) is
to abide”. AMP.
30.
I am trying to bring out one thing, all
that are expecting the translation of the saints, the Bible said that they must
strive earnestly, put in all that is in your power as your effort to make sure
that you must be found in Him blameless without spot, without blemish at His
appearance.
31.
Remember, He did not come for everybody;
He only came to the people that are ready for Him. That is why the Bible said
that before His appearing; the Bride has already made herself ready. In other words, the Bride has come to a
blameless condition.
32.
What is more, if you are a member of
that Bride, just like a woman that is going to be wedded, she must not start
preparing when the Bridegroom has come. Early hours of the morning she will
just take her bath, dress herself very well and wait for the man to come and
take her.
33.
The same way, the Bride must make her
ready before the appearing of the Bridegroom. Now that the appearing of the Bride
is around, very much at the doorstep, very much at the corner, one step to come
down, is the Bride ready? Can we say that the Bride has attained that perfect
stature? Can we say that the Bride is now without blemish? Are you not that Bride?
You are a part of the Bride; I am a part of the Bride.
34.
I am saying as an individual, am I
ready? Am I without blame now? Are you ready? Are you without blame now? If He
should come in any second from now, if He should come down now in the next two
minutes or three minutes, are you ready? Man or woman, this is the question we
must answer.
35.
The essence of
the Gospel is to present every CHILD OF GOD blameless in the sight of God.
This is the question you have to answer. Amen.
CHAPTER 2
THE
HOUR OF REAL SPIRITUAL SURRENDER TO GOD
I did not make altar call, this is the
hour of real spiritual surrender to God. This is the time for real total
surrender, if you have never surrendered to Him before, this is the hour.
2.
Are you not waiting for the translation
of the saints? How prepared are you now? How ready are you now? Take note of
this song, it is a song I want you to pay attention to: “When the Lord shall
come to take His saints away on the rapture day, on the rapture day, will you
go with Him?”
3.
It is the right question for you, answer
my dear brethren.: “When the Lord shall come to take His saints away on the rapture
day, on the rapture day, will you go with Him?” Is the right question for you,
answer my dear brothers; answer my dear sisters.
4.
The
hope of this Gospel, the essence of this Gospel, why we preach and die, why we
labour day and night, why we go without food, we go without clothing, why are
we tossed about by human beings, ridicule everywhere is to be translated?
5.
Are you not now indebted to God if you
fail Him at last? What will distract your attention on this planet? Is it
wants? Lack of money. Is it death? Is it sickness? You will be a foolish person
if you allow your work that will perish to distract your attention from this
great objective.
6.
You see why you must pray to God in this
hour and say, “God save me to the utmost.”
7.
Almighty visited us and told us that
many Churches have missed the mark. There was a strong vision, a fearful one
where some local Churches were seen, some were wearing pants, some were naked,
some were walking zigzag. And the Apostle has to separate Onitsha Church from
your midst. And the Voice said, “I have left this Church.”
8.
I am trying to say that your condition
is the condition of your brethren nationwide. Now that they have never heard
this message, in other words, the tendency is there that they have missed the
mark now. Why not place yourself in the mark now?
9.
The Bible said that we will do well if
we keep the whole of the Gospel in memory. We know that Satan has been our
adversary, always anointing us with evil spirit.
10.
A little while we see ourselves
forgetting the whole of the message, forgetting the target that is set before
us, and we see ourselves misbehaving, mess ourselves up. God sees rebellious
instinct rising up in us both men and women. Misbehaving, walking contrary to
the message of the Kingdom.
11.
This is a very serious hour. I can hear
many voices in our midst. Satan is not happy with this message. Satan is trying
to make all the ministers to labour in vain. After saving others, they will become
cast away. Commit all of them in prayer before God. Satan is not happy with
them.
12.
Now he is now coming through their wives.
If Satan cannot get them, he will come through their wives, anoint them falsely,
weaken them also and make them fail in their ministry so that that man will be
blamed. Pray for the ministers’ wives.
13.
Be reverend, we must be in the spirit.
Brother Emma from Opi Church, be in the spirit. This is not an easy matter. Pray
that the Almighty God will reveal what is happening around you. This is the
hour you must give yourself close to Him because many eyes are now on you to
destroy you. But you are not seeing them; they are running around you, you are
not seeing them.
14.
In this Faith, we have our doctrine for
our little children and all our families. When Satan has failed to get the husband
and wife, he will turn to the children, anoint the children and start
disturbing the peace of the family, disturbing the families so that the
ministry of their parents will be blamed. Shall we raise our children in the
presence of God!
15.
This is a very serious hour, be
reverend. Who will not tremble? Who will not fear? I warn you to be careful.
You see His move coming in our midst, you see the prove of He that has called
us into the Faith.
16.
Since, He has never ceased from talking
to you, leaving no stone unturned, yet many are still rebellious. This is a very
serious hour.
17.
SATAN HAS VOWED A VOW TO MAKE SURE THAT
THIS MINISTRY IS BLAMED IN OUR HAND, BUT GOD HAS VOWED A VOW THAT HE WILL
REDEEM HIS SAINTS AT LAST.
18.
Many a time, Satan will come through our
maidservants. Satan can come through our maidservants, for that reason let us raise
up our maidservants and say, “God, they are part of our families.”
19.
Be very careful for God is a Consuming
Fire, for God is warning, for God has told us: “Who can believe this? God
coming to take human flesh to make sure somebody is saved.”
20.
You have heard it: I have pardoned you
for the last time. I have forgiven you for the last time by divine
intervention. He has granted you divine reconciliation.
21.
Eha-Amufu Church, He that establiseth
you has granted you divine reconciliation. Your sins are forgiven.
22.
This is a terrible condition, in other
words in all these years you were disturbing people thinking you are in the Body,
not knowing you are outside. Have you now known the mind of God? That you are
all outside the Faith until this day. Have you now heard the mind of God that
you are worshipping Him amiss all these years?
23.
Your lives can now blossom again. Why
not lift up your voice and glorify Him! Thank God for identifying with us. For
confirming His word, for justifying His Most Holy Name in the midst of His
people. For causing the bone to rise again.
24.
If there is anybody that is sent for
this salvation ministry, everybody would have been pointed to that person, whether
it is Gordon Lindsey, TL Osborne, Billy Granham, Andrew Miray, CS Spogeon,
Kenneth Hagen, Kenneth Scotland, Oral Robot, Richard Roberts, Ramond King and
the host of them.
25.
Assume there is one that is on the land
holding this everlasting Gospel, the Lord would have pointed everybody to that
person. Amen.
CHAPTER
3
THE
LORD, HE IS THE GOD
I am going to say few words scripturally,
and scriptural truth, then I will leave it behind. It is not the first time you
have heard about it, I am going to bring it up again by the way of putting you
in remembrance.
2.
Also, other Churches will learn a lesson
from there. Maybe the Lord decided that I should come to Eha-amufu knowing that
all of them will be in the fellowship, that all the Churches around will be in
the fellowship and then see the Lord coming down to grant the last pardon to
Eha-Amufu Church; so that God will have witnesses.
3.
For the Bible tells me that God has
never done anything without a witness, that in their own presence, when
Eha-Amufu used the last stick of match. I told you that He that sent Me is with
Me, He has not left Me. If you do not know how the Lord said it in the
scripture, pray that the Lord will take you there. It is a scriptural voice.
4.
If I should tell you everything, it then
means you are no longer searching the scriptures. Search the scriptures where
you think you have eternal life. However, the scriptures testify of no other
person but the Person—the Son of Man, the one and only true God—standing in
your midst.
5.
What am I saying? There is only but one
thing by which you know the antichrist: He will never acknowledge the headship
of the Son. The Son is the Head, the Lord; He is the true God.
6.
Even from the Old Testament, some of the
ministers have these things in their houses when you are in the Pentecostals.
Have you not come across a poster bear “the Lord, He is the God”? Many of you
had it in your house.
7.
First Kings 18 verse 39: “And
when all the people saw it , they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD,
he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.” KJV.
8.
Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 35: “Unto
thee it was showed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is
none else beside him.”
9.
The Lord, He is God. Who is the Lord? I
mean that men acknowledge that the Lord, He is the God. You can read it in your
own Bible lest you say I am a liar.
10.
All these posters were full in the
market; many of you purchase them and placed on the walls of the house. Then He
came up and told us that Christ is that Lord. You said yes, every tongue must
confess that Christ is the Lord. Now the Lord, He is the God. Then you were
told that Christ is Almighty God, you were doubting but you are having it in
your houses.
11.
You see, when all the people saw what
happened, they fell on their knees and said, “The Lord, He is the God; the Lord
He is the God.” Who is the Lord? Christ is the Lord. The Bible said, “At His
Name, every knee must bow; every tongue must confess that He is the Lord. All
the tongues must confess that He is the Lord.” And they said, “The Lord, He is
the God.” People bought this thing and placed it on their walls.
12.
Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 35: “Unto
thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is
none else beside him”. KJV.
13.
There is none else beside Him. Unto thee
it was showed and that thou mightiest know that the Lord, He is the God. Who is
our Lord? Christ! Do we have two Lords? No!
14.
Many of you are having these posters,
some use it as calendar. Go to Pentecostal mission, you will see many of these
posters. Ask the man, “Do you believe this?” He will say, “Yes I believe it.” You
ask him, “How do you believe it? Yet you cannot acknowledge it.”
15.
You have to be very careful in this Faith.
This Faith is a very delicate Faith. It is a parallel line Faith; you cannot
meet with any Pentecostal in this Faith. We all meet at infinity.
16.
Holy Ghost told us at the beginning of
the ministry that anywhere you are going in this Faith and you jam with Pentecostal
or any other group, He said, “Stop, something has happened there: it is either
you have deviated from the way, or they have repented.”
17.
Because if they repent, they will meet
you. If you deviate from the way, you will jam them. These are the only two
conditions where we will meet: Either we have left the correct way; then we jam
them. Or they have repented, then they will meet us.”
18.
This Faith is not a Faith where you will
say, “Well, I am going to that Church. It is like this one.” NOTE IT VERY WELL,
IT CANNOT BE! Even if it is like, it is not this most holy Faith. Cocoyam is
like yam, is it a yam? No.
19.
Just like foolish Pentecostals, blind
people that read Bible upside down, that John saw the Spirit of God descending LIKE
a dove, then they went and drew a dove, that where they (John and his
disciples) were baptizing Jesus Christ, that a dove perched on his head.
20.
No dove perched on Jesus’ head. The Bible
never recorded that there is any dove on Jesus’ head. Read your Bible. It said
that the Spirit descended like a dove. It is not a dove; it is just like a
flash. Not everybody saw it, only Prophet John saw it. It was a spiritual sign.
It was a sign that God gave John, a Covenant between John and God alone.
21.
They kept on baptising people at the
bank of Jordan, when he see one coming, carrying the sign of supernatural,
declaring Him the Son of Man. John continued baptizing people and he was
looking at the sign, he could not see any.
22.
People continued coming, until one day
the young man started coming. Then John the Baptist told the people to wait, “Behold
the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world.” He saw something
following him which no human eyes could see. But he saw it being a Prophet.
23.
So it is, the Lord can come here and say
brother come, go to that group you will see one having so, so and so sign that
is him. That person may come and sit down here. The Lord has already transformed
his eyes to see things human eyes cannot see. While he was sitting down, before
you know it he rose up and then started demonstrating.
24.
Why did the devil acknowledge him? Because
devils are supernatural beings, they could see supernatural things. He gave
them charge never to speak again.
25.
St. Mark chapter 1 verse 34 “And
he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and
suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.” KJV.
26.
Why? Because they knew him. But before
then, look at verse 23-24, something happened there:
27.
“And there was in their synagogue a man with
an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
28.
Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do
with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who
thou art, the Holy One of God.” KJV.
29.
Note, the devil said, “I know thee, who
you are, the Holy One of God.”
30.
Jesus Christ went further in verse 34, “And
he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and
suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him”. KJV.
31.
Let us not carry the matter too far. Who
was the Saviour that was sent to the Gentiles? That a young lady that was
possessed of a devil with her own mouth saying, “Leave these people alone,
these are messengers from God that have come with message of salvation.” Who
was the person? St. Paul. He was a saviour and he could speak to that person,
“Get out of this place! close your mouth!”
32.
At another place the person troubled him
and he said, “Get blind for a season.” Before their eyes somebody led the
person away. That is the message.
33.
Then I remembered one in my own day that
was privileged to go to a place where there was a woman filled with devils,
evil spirits that she even possessed great powers from the devil that she could
command the rain to come down and stop. That by mere making of a sign, she
could kill human beings and publish his or her obituary. She will say, “Watch
this person,” she will just make a sign immediately. The following morning, the
person obituary is published.
34.
She could command arrows—unknown arrow
will come down from nowhere and pierced somebody. And because of such
supernatural powers, the whole of Agbosu rallied round the woman as a Prophetess
in their midst.
35.
I know of one that met the woman and it
became a battle of two snakes. The woman went round and said, “Aba people
should hear what will happen.” She said, “Get ready, the press will publish it”.
She trusted in her power so much and thought within herself, peradventure the
power will fail, she went and purchased raw acid and placed by the corner. Then
she said, “If my power will fail, this one will not fail.” And then she was
ready, her eyes red, waiting from morning till evening.
36.
The husband who knew all these things,
who has been with the woman for twenty-two years is a witness to all these
things. A one time general superintended of that Agbosu who had already invited
a man of God knowing that the man of God will not come alone, that he must come
with one person or two. The man became afraid for he saw all these things and
the threats. He knew it was not an empty threat.
37.
What did the man do? The husband ran out,
went to the main road at Okigwe road and then stood there from eight o’clock in
the morning till four o’clock in the evening. Why? Because that was the direction
he gave the man of God he will take. He intended to stop him on the road and
divert them to his younger brother’s house somewhere, to avoid bloodshed
because the wife has already made up her mind and he knew there was no going
back.
38.
Thus, while the man waited and waited
and waited; you see, Almighty God Who knows all things wanted to take the
glory. He brought His servant and two young men that came with Him through
another road straightaway to that man’s house. And they were there at exactly 1:30pm,
waiting.
39.
While the man was at the main road on
the map he gave them, the Lord took them through another road straightaway,
face-to-face with the woman.
40.
You see, by 4:30pm, our brother came
back to his house thinking that they will not be coming again because he was tired,
because he waited on the main road from eight o’clock in the morning till four
o’clock in the evening. Thus he went to his younger brother’s house and said,
“Well, I have not lost any hope, let me just go home and wait.”
41.
Getting to his house, he saw some fatty
people. The man almost fainted. The man then sat down there for he did not know
what to do for we were there.
42.
After little exchange of greetings, the
next three minutes we opened our mouth to praise God. We praised God so loud,
we never knew that when we closed our eyes our brother opened his eyes and went
very close to his wife intending to hold her if she would react. The thing
continued and continued until we went into preaching.
43.
The voice roared, the discernment went
forth, searched the whole house and every corner. Nobody can believe this truth
except if only you were there.
44.
The thing was so great that the Prophetess
bowed down, knelt down and hands were laid on her. She became powerless. The
meeting continued till midnight. Then at exactly 1:00am, all others slept. But
the Son of Man remained awake somewhere watching the situation. The woman
remained awake till six o’clock in the morning for anointing was in the whole
house.
45.
A little while the anointing left her,
then she went and recouped. From time to time she will go and consult one thing
or the other. She kept on doing all these things until everything died and she
could not receive any other reply from those things. Then she now resulted to
the acid.
46.
She lifted up the cup of acid, but a
voice came saying, “Do not try it! These are servants of the Most Holy God that
have come with the message of peace.”
47.
The woman collapsed, carrying the cup of
acid, then throw it away together with the bottle, came and confessed it with
her own mouth. THAT WAS WHY THE WOMAN TILL TODAY, SAID THAT THERE IS NO OTHER
CHILD OF GOD ON EARTH EXCEPT ODOEMENA; THE ONLY HUMAN BEING SHE RESPECTS AND
FEARS ON EARTH.
48.
You know, God knows what He is doing. I
remember at another time a woman who was possesed of evil spirit, she did not know
anybody that is called Peter Odoemena, she did not know anything, she has not
seen anything. That was around 1994, how many were there? Let me stop the
testimony. You can tell your brethren.
49.
I tell you these things, for the Bible
said that they overcame by the words of their testimony and the power of Christ.
Sister Elizabeth and Sister Ojiakor were all there. You have many, many things
to tell your people. Brother Moses, were you not there? Brother Ifeanyi, were
you not there? Sister Charity, were you not there? By the witness of two or
three persons shall the truth be established.
50.
You see, the thing was so terrible that
day. It is a powerful night. The evil spirit moved the woman up as she clinched
her eyes tightly closed; and to the greatest surprise of the whole Church she
voiced out the Name of the Son of Man and was pressing to the pulpit. She said,
“You, Angel, I know you very well. You are a Son of the Most High God. You are
Peter; you are my God.”
51.
She continued pressing and pressing and
pressing until I left the pulpit. She ran to the front, she went straightaway
to the pulpit and mounted the pulpit to show you it is not the spirit of God.
52.
Because I went and bow down and said, “God,
if this is anti-spirit, cause her to stay in the Most Holy place. She just went
straightaway there and mounted the place. Her eyes closed and continued
talking, while I replied from the floor.
53.
I said, “God; now it is clear! If you
will deliver this woman, gently move her back to her seat.” Immediately, nobody
heard it, she just left the place back to her seat.
54.
What I am trying to say is that devil
moves. You know a time came when the sons of one Sceva, a Jew, they felt they
have been with Paul so much, they were Evangelists; “After all we are baptized
with the Holy Ghost. The Bible said go and preach, go and do this, go and do that!”
55.
The mustered their energy, went out to
cast out demons and heard something there, “Paul I know, Jesus I know; who are
thou?”
56.
Before they knew what was happening the
mad man was loosed, overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they
fled out of that house naked and wounded. They ran away naked.
57.
You see, do not ever make a mistake of
rising one morning and say you have been with the Apostle for too long. “After
all Jesus the Christ said, Jesus said;” wait a little. That will not be your
condition.
58.
Do we all have the spirit of healing? No
sir. I mean that gift is a gift. Not all possess the gift. Can we all prophesy?
No sir. Can we all speak in tongues? No sir. If I may dare all of you, I will
just say “I am in all of you”, then you will just go and kill yourself. Not all
have the gift of discernment, that is why if you are not careful, you will lay
hands on the wrong person.
59.
I know a man, many years ago we heard
his testimony. A mad man rose up while William Branham was on the pulpit, the
ushers wanted to hold the man but nobody could succeed. Some policemen that
were there rose up to stop the man but the man just over powered the people and
he had his target to tear William Branham apart.
60.
Then the Prophet said, “Leave him alone”.
He just bowed his head and he said, “If I am your mouthpiece let this man bow
down at my feet.” Nobody heard what he said. He just looked up, immediately,
the Spirit lifted the man up to six feet and floored the man at the Prophet’s
feet. He went there and lay hands on him, then revived him.
61.
That is the way God moves. But in my own
very eyes, I mean it is not a story now. In my own very eyes, one day I was
present in that Church that time. A very strong woman that used to beat men in
her day was possessed of evil spirit. She rose up from her seat when the
anointing was too great in the Church. The thing pulled her, brethren, we saw
something that marvelled us.
62.
Her muscles, her eyes bulged out. She
was moving her hands and was advancing towards the pulpit steadily. Ushers could
not stop her and she was coming intending to land on the preacher. You have
never seen something, the thing continued coming.
63.
Then God was in the Church, the Voice
said from the pulpit, “Calm down everybody! Leave her alone.” While she was
coming and advancing, I could see panic set into the Church. Brethren were
expecting to see the woman land heavily on the preacher.
64.
A little while there was silence, the
preacher bowed his head and said, “God, bring her to myself.” Watch, the spirit
just pulled her to the side of the preacher in the pulpit. Two of them stood
behind of the pulpit before the whole Church. I was standing boldly; she was
standing boldly also.
65.
A little while the voice said, “If you
will deliver her, gently take her straight to her seat.” Nobody heard it. In
the next second, off the Spirit pulled her and settled her in her seat, there
she was delivered.
66.
When she was delivered, that was when the
testimony came that she received a voice that asked her to run into the bush, but
she said no. Then that told her, “Okay, go and kill the preacher.” That was the
one she responded to.
67.
What am I trying to say? When you see
scriptures we are not preaching letters now. We do not say in the Bible days,
we are back in the Bible days. All these things are happening in our eyes, we
are living witnesses. If they do not happen, we cannot testify of them. What is
more, we testify to God’s glory. God has done a lot of things at least to
establish our Faith on a solid rock.
68.
That is why I wonder when I hear that a brother
has backslidden, I say, “Backslide for what? What did he see on the way that
makes him backslide?” You say, “I am confused!” What is confusing you? You say,
“I got confused along the way;” where did you get confused? Left for me, I cannot
just tell.”
69.
That was what nearly killed Eha-Amufu Church.
The pastor said he was confused, in what area? He said, “I cannot just say. For
many years, I cannot just say.” Somebody that is confused did not know what is
confusing him until God has to come down and tell him what is confusing him,
then he said, “It is truth.”
70.
When others were destroying those dead
books, we never knew he kept his own. From time to time, the devil will ask him
to untie one part. He will untie the part and then start reading and reading
until his vision changed. A little while the message will come out from the
Apostle, he will take that one in, two of them will clash. Two of them will go
to his head and then clash. Who will not die in that condition?
71.
In other words, you knew the truth of
what happened. Within that period of two years and about four months, our
brother ran mad. Each time he comes to Onitsha, I will just see a picture of a mad
man. There was nothing he could do rightly. Even in his own domestic affairs,
he was confused, he was confused about life.
72.
When you start discussing with him, you
will discover that he was not even hearing anything. A little while you hear “I
am sorry, I am sorry.”
73.
You see I want to tell you something
repeating one thing over and over again; and you start doubting whether this
man is a human being he claimed to be.
74.
The Lord permitted it to be so, so that
others will learn a great lesson. That was exactly what happened to Onyema.
Right now, he is mad. He does not know where to go. Take him to denomination,
he will never be there. I am telling you the truth. He cannot be in any
denomination and he cannot start his own movement—very much confused about
life. He does not know whether he is going to be a millionaire, he does not know
whether he is going to be poor.
75.
At times, he will hate his job. It is a
dangerous condition. The next time he will acknowledge that he is God, the next
time he will call it devil: “This thing, I do not know! In short if it will be
this, let me be.” You cannot hold him anywhere and he cannot hold himself
anywhere. So he will continue until he will die.
76.
Nobody should make the mistake of going
to see him, leave him alone. He has to settle the matter with his God. The Lord
has permitted to put him that way; otherwise, he would have deceived Opi Church.
If the Lord did not put him that way, he would have deceived all of you.
77.
If the Lord did not out him that way; he
would have deceived that Church. The Lord put him that way so that everybody
will see his nakedness. Hence, wherever you see him, you will know what is
happening in him. The matter is very clear.
78.
How can somebody come to me and say, “I
met Onyema, Onyema said”. You know where he left him. You met a mad man, for
that thing which you said Onyema said, meet Onyema the next day, Onyema will
say “I did not say so.” You cannot quote him.
79.
His father knows what he is passing
through. Go to his father, his father will tell you that this man is mad. Besides,
he will tell you the time it started that is from the time he abandoned the Faith
and he became mad. The man will tell you clearly that from the time he left
that Church, Onyema has been misbehaving. The man does not want to be in this Faith
because, he cannot pay the price but he knows that the Faith is truth.
80.
Anybody that wants to serve God, this
man will point them to that Church. However, he will first of all tell the
person that it is hard.
81.
What brought these words of
encouragement? Is it not the scriptures? That the devil knew God. The devil even
calls him the Son of God, the Son of the Most High God.
82.
What I am trying to say is that, it is not
only you that know that I am the Son of Man. Even if you do not acknowledge it,
Satan knows that I am the Son of Man.
83.
I know where I am standing and making my
declaration, I do not say it so that you will believe. That you do not believe
cannot change it. Shaking your head cannot change it; it is a finished matter
from the foundation of the world.
84.
Whether you believe it, He that
commanded the whole world to come with their cameras, didn’t He know that He
was unveiling Himself? Was He not the One that started it? Amen.
SECTION 2
OUR
CONDITION IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS OUR CONCLUSION
Bishop Fryde
Okoh
Household of
God
Enugu
13th
May 2012
CHAPTER 1
ON THE WAY
TO PARADISE
For
any transmutation to take place, there must be a reaction. The reaction is the
experience. Experience is a great teacher. It sanctifies our consciousness,
reforms our persons and fertilizes our souls. It conquers fear, illuminates the
mind and confirms our stand. One without an experience is stunted.
2.
According to
an Igbo adage, “the frog says that it is
not everybody who has his hands on the ground that is a wrestler”.
Christopher Columbus added, “you can
never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore”
and Ralph Waldo Emerson commented thus “when
it is dark enough, you can see the stars”.
3.
From our
Great Teacher, Apostle Peter Odoemena, these words of wisdom affirms, and I
quote; “You have seen all these things, I
have never disappointed you. Each time you call I have always responded. Other
nations will call and call in vain. Each time you call, God will respond.
4.
He said be very careful that you will not forget what your
eyes have seen and what your ears have heard. In other words, if the people
should be steadfast in their loyalty and faithfulness to God, there must be
something that will sustain them. What is that thing? Their experience.
5.
What sustained Israel? What sustained the people of
God in that day was nothing but their experience. Sustained by their
experience. What and what were their experience? Things they saw, things they
heard, things that happened in them. SOMETHING YOU SAW WITH YOUR EYES, YOU
HEARD WITH YOUR EARS, IT HAPPENED TO YOU AS A PERSON, CAN YOU FORGET IT SO
EASILY? NO!
6.
NO MAN ABANDONS GOD UNTIL HE HAS FORGOTTEN WHAT HIS
EYES HAVE SEEN, WHAT HIS EARS HAVE HEARD AND WHAT HE HAS PASSED THROUGH. NO
MAN, NO WOMAN THAT HAS DEFINITE EXPERIENCE WITH GOD EVER FORGETS GOD.
7.
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT BACKSLIDING IN THE HEART,
BACKSLIDING IS A SURE SIGN THAT THE PERSON HAS NO EXPERIENCE. Anybody that has
experience can never backslide. This backsliding is only associated with people
without experience.
8.
Sustained by my experience. I am not saying sustained
by his experience or sustained by their experience. Some people are sustained
by experiences of some people. If you are sustained by somebody’s experience,
you have no experience. Nothing is sustaining you, you have no anchor. Sustained By My Experience, By Son Of Man,
Page 52, Vs 18-21.
9.
An Anonymous
writer has these to say; “Endurance is
the spirit which can bear things not simply with resignation, but with blazing
hope. It is the quality which keeps a man on his feet with his face to the
wind. It is virtue which can transmute the hardest trial into glory because
beyond the pain, it sees the goal”.
10.
Another
anonymous writer added thus “He whose
courage has made way against turbulence of opposition, and whose vigour has
broken through the snares of distress, has many advantages over those that have
slept in the shades of indolence, and whose retrospect of time can entertain
them with nothing but day rising upon day, and year gliding after year”.
11.
We all know
quite frankly that this journey is not a simple one. Every father who wants to
train his children to be confident, focused and reasonable in future, must not
got to sleep but must continue unabated to direct, inspire, teach, correct,
rebuke and drill the child until his aim is achieved.
12.
In doing that
he may be harsh, he may be hard, he may even subject the child to a strident
condition to enable him bring out the best in him or her. So God is training us
to be different from the crowd. We are a micro in a macro setting. As we are
following the Cloud and not the Crowd, there must be a great difference between
we and them.
13.
God made it
clear to us in the message, No Deception Is Of The Truth, Vol 2,
Page 54 and I quote, “Whatever you are
hearing, whatever you are seeing, whatever you are passing through God had
already told us about all those things ahead of time, so we are not shaking one
bit. Even if it remains one person in this faith, God must be worshipped as a
human being.
14.
It is because we have preached it, believed it that is
why we are being troubled, buffeted about. That is why we are being treated as
criminals. Thus for our experiences to compare favourably like this, we know
that we are on the right track.
15.
By this, we know we are on the right track. We are not
shaking. Let Heaven fall. As many of us who made everlasting covenant with Him,
and are sure and certain that we are not deceived, this is His ordained way
from the beginning of the world. unquote
16.
So brethren
having heard this, are we not on the right track? For God can never and will
never deceive us. His ways will always marvel the minds of men. Our individual
experiences on this journey remains His ordained way for us.
17.
God said and
I quote.“Sustained by my experience.
There must be something that will sustain you! Something that will hold you in
this faith. You call it your anchor. Remember, anchor is something that holds a
canoe or ship in the river bank.
18.
A fisherman anchors his ship to a stake and then gets
the thing down. No matter how the tempest will blow the canoe or ship will be
held by the anchor. If the river will carry that little canoe, it will pull off
the stake then the river will carry the canoe”. Sustained By My Experience PAGE 79, VERSE 20-21
19.
These
experiences we encounter on our journey to paradise, are they too grievous for
us to bear? Are they wearing us down? Are they breaking our legs so that we
can’t scale the lofty heights of the mountain? Or are we visionless to see or
know that all were preplanned for our own good. These experiences will open up
new vistas for our spiritual development and attainment.
20.
God said in 1st
Corinthians Chapter 10 Vs. 13 and I quote, “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but
God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able,
but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able
to bear it”.
21.
An unknown
author said and I quote “True strength is
keeping everything together when everyone expects you to fall apart” and
Greg Kincaind adds; “No matter how much
that falls on us, we keep plowing ahead. That’s the only way to keep the roads
clear”.
22.
It takes a
mind that has passed through rugged experiences in life to appreciate one who
is on the same track. Someone on a fast lane cannot understand or appreciate
what the man on the slow lane is experiencing. The fast lane is a speed lane
and the driver can not picture any scenery in its glory but only experiences
them in silhouette.
23.
Can his brake
save him if there is any mishap? If he is asked, can he describe what he saw on
the way to his destination? These are pertinent questions. The man on the slow
lane is gradually moving, capturing all the actions, reactions and beautiful
landscapes on the way. He has acquired more experiences about the area he is
travelling through. He is safer and he is enjoying his trip.
24.
He is like a
man climbing a ladder. Taking them one after the other in rungs until he gets
to the top, but if he jumps any rung, he has created a vacuum which nature abhors,
and so he must come back to fill that gap. The experiences he encountered while
moving up the ladder in stages are what actually will sustain him if mishap or
challenges occur. We must pass through the universe as mere mortals
experiencing our ordained experiences without short-circuiting any.
25.
Son of man
said; “one day the winds will come to try
two buildings, the flood will come to try two buildings; the tempest will rise,
but one must stand while the other will crumble. It is a MUST. That’s why anywhere
I go, I lay a solid foundation which no man can uproot?”
26.
Tahir Shah
said “on a harsh expedition, there is no
space for anyone who does not intend to finish”. The race we are running is
not a physical race but a spiritual one which God had ordained before the world
began. Once we belong to Him, He will keep us in his closet, protecting us,
guiding us, watching over us with gratifying interest.
27.
He will use
any method He likes to bring you into His abode. He is the Almighty that
knoweth the best method to call you back. No matter the method, what is in His
mind is to bring you home-finish!
28.
In the
Message Sustained By My Experience By Son Of Man Page 66 paragraph 5 we
were made to understand and I quote:“if
what is sustaining you in this faith is not your experience, you are not in
this faith. To as many that are in this faith, in spite of the hurts and
troubles they pass through, there is nothing holding them if not their
experiences. If you are in this faith so that we can help you to hide away
yourself from the society or things like that, you are not in this faith”
Unquote.
29.
He continued
in Page 62, paragraph 44 of the same book-Sustained By My Experience and I
quote.“What sustained Timothy was his
experience with Paul. Timothy never forgot what he witnessed with his eyes with
Paul. He did not forget what he heard. Even when he was not there, those that
followed Paul reported to him and he was sure and certain. Sustained by my
experience. This message has become very necessary because it has become clear
to me that many are still in this church without any experience”.
30.
Once you are
in this faith, you must experience attack, you must be mocked, they will hate
you with passion, you will receive insults, they will jeer at you. Is it name
calling? They will invent many. After all our God whom we worship in person,
have they not been calling Him all sorts of names? Imagine!
31.
Those who
make all these unprintable remarks about us are religious charlatans and the
only thing they know is shouting Jesus! Jesus!! Jesus!!! with their unrepentant
and diabolically influenced minds. An Igbo adage says, “A scornful look at a stronger man is mere admiration”
32.
But some
organized religion within the occult world reorganize the existence of God head
on earth (though they know He is here but they don’t know where to find Him).
They marvel at the supernatural phenomenon. Can we blame the religious
fanatics? They are all blind and that’s why they can challenge their creator.
33.
A proverb
says “it is only a foolish dog that barks
at what a lion saw and ran away”. Let them call us what they like and we
remain what we are. Can they call us another name and owl shepherd another? If
it is so, we are not part of Him. If the world calls Him Satan then we all are
children of Satan, but we know more than that.
34.
So brethren
for us to receive any accolade from the religious world, it goes to show that
we are all one but once there is a gap between us and them, there must be
persecution.
35.
No religious
man or woman will accept what we preach as truth and Thomas Jefferson said “Religions are all alike, founded upon fables
and mythologies” and Abu Ala Al-Ma’arri added “The world holds two classes of men; intelligent men without religion
and religious men without intelligence”.
36.
So the
unintelligent religionists are primarily those that must attack this TRUTH
because the message of Son of Man is inflammatory to them and of a bluntest
realism. So from their attacks our faith in Him are confirmed and we gain more
experiences. These experiences fortifies our foundation.
37.
Christine de
Pizan writes and I quote “When some one
finds himself quite unjustly attacked and hated on all sides, there is no need
for such a person to feel dismayed by misfortune. See how fortune, who has
harmed many a one, is so inconstant, for God who opposes all wrong deeds,
raises up those in whom hope dwells”.
38.
And an
unknown author wrote “as a camel beareth
labour, and heat, and hunger, and thirst through desert of sand and fainteth
not, so the fortitude of man shall sustain him through all perils”. So Brethren lets us remain strong in
Him who has called all of us unto Himself. By His grace we will continue to
forge ahead.
39.
As Hailee
wrote “Be strong now because things will
get better. It might be stormy now but it can’t rain forever”.
CHAPTER 2
ONLY SHEEP
NEEDS A SHEPHERD
It
is only sheep that needs a shepherd. The aphorism that my sheep hear my voice
and they follow refers to the sheep and the master. Who is a shepherd? A
shepherd is a leader.
2.
A leader as
defined by John .C. Maxwell is, I quote “Leaders
must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them
3.
A leader must
go beyond being a people pleaser to being a God pleaser. That is our leader,
our motivator and our God, Apostle Peter Odoemena, the very Son of Man. He is
the great shepherd, the magnificent leader who has been leading us across the
dense landscape towards the glittering treasure which we have been wishing by
day and by night, but lies beyond human imagination.
4.
There is a
special kind of beauty radiating in splendor which we enjoy in every hour we
spend with Him. A gentle breeze will always come up stirring the entire
scenario with heavenly aroma defining His Majesty.
5.
In Unto
You God First Appeared To Take A People Unto Himself, page 28 (words in
block), Son of Man said, I quote, “I am
the Living Manna. That is why once you are around me, you do not feel like
going away and you don’t complain. You can never say you are hungry unless I
set you free”
6.
He remains
our ROCK OF AGES, THE COMFORTER and OUR SHEPHERD. The message coming from His
divine mouth is always hard as rock which stamps our feet on the sand of time.
In a quiet solitude He reveals to us those sacred teachings which had not been
known to man since the foundation of the world.
7.
No religious
group, no spiritual organization, no mystical group have ever come across these
hidden knowledge (absolute truth) which we are privileged to be receiving free
of charge. A good shepherd knows all his sheep and their colours.
8.
In Mixed
Multitude Part I, page 13, paragraph 10, son of man made it clear that, I
quote; “Every father knows his children.
Even if he marries hundred wives, he knows all his children. He calls them by
their names. Anybody he does not know in that family does not belong to him.
Anybody he does not know by his or her name does not belong to him. Anybody he
cannot identify his character does not belong to him”.
9.
He has faced
all his children from the shackles of religion, imperialism and bestowed upon
them (us) heavenly peace. As Malcolm X said “you cannot separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace
unless he has his freedom”.
10.
In His
message, EVERY CLOUD LEADS TO GOD page 27 vers.25, son of man said, “my message is a revolutionary message and I
am aiming at raising nothing but revolutionaries. I am producing a radical
message that will produce radicals. As we went further, He said yes, what we
practice is attitude radicalism not rampant radicalism”.
11.
Son of Man
made it very clear to us that if there is an iota of law hanging within our
inner mind that those involved will not be able to be partakers and their
freedom is lost.
12.
In Random
Comments From The Son Of Man Vol 3, page 44 (word in block) He said, “if there is a figment of law in your heart,
a figment of unbelief to the word that has proceeded out from the son of man,
the gate can never open for you”.
CHAPTER 3
RELIGIOUS
DOGMA/ABSURDITY
Yes!
Brethren an Igbo proverb says that “those
who fight with arrows have a case to settle with blindness” and “he who puts a crown on his own head will
later remove it with his own hand”.
2.
Religions
adherents are really fighting the truth with arrow of deceit and at the end we
will know who is who, what is what and which is which.
3.
They have
crowned themselves with vainglorious and fusty old crowns. A movement or
movements that are moving on a motionless motion. Napoleon Bonaparte described
them thus “Religion is excellent stuff
for keeping common people quite”.
4.
So
Christianity, Catholic spirituality, Quaker tradition, Christian mysticism,
Gnosticism etc all have an attitude of religious faith which is generally one
that values holding to certain beliefs in the absence of confirmation including
revelatory experiences.
5.
When we
try to compare our material advancement with the larger world which houses the
religious bloc, we may loose sight of our vision. Mark Twain caught it right
with these words and I quote “you can not depend on your eyes when your
imagination is out of focus”. When you loose your focus, you loose your vision.
In the message Every Cloud Leads To God, Son of Man said, “Do not bother yourself on the earthly bread which you will eat and
perish with, but concern yourself with the bread which the Son of man shall
give which is eternal life for which cause He is sent”
6.
In His
message Why We Must Be Mindful Of The Words Of The Apostles And Prophet
Page 58 Vs 50 ,Son of Man said, “Every
true believer must have his boundary line in your dealings with all men. When
you stay in your line, you stand firm there. However, many of us do not have
boundary line for yourself, there is no way you can preserve this gospel truth:
Everything will be flying out in your lines”.
7.
God is
calling us to stand firm on our faith, no matter the situation we find ourselves. We should be mindful
of the worldly religion. It should not disturb us from our vision. There is no
way we can serve two masters. An Igbo proverb says, “A person who eats with both hands does not know actually the one that
soils his dress”.
8.
Anyone
who is a part of a family can never feel tired of staying in that family. If he
or she is a true son of that family, he must worship the God of that family. We
are members of the Godly family, the children of the supreme Deity, so we must
answer our father’s name.
9.
In the
message Put Me In Remembrance Part 2 Vol 1 by The Son of Man page 74 Vs 16,
He said, “A man can be tired of anything
but no man is tired of his family, no matter how bad your family might be, you
can never be tired with your family. Any man that is tired with his family is a
stranger, he is purchased with money”.
10.
We have
personal experiences and we have family experiences. We are sustained also by
our family experiences. There are collective experiences we share as brethren
and one who is not part of that experience is not part of that family. So
nothing can make a member of a family to start thinking of abandoning that
family. Once that thought starts coming into ones mind, it is sure sign that
the fellow is not from that linage. He is a bastard.
11.
In the
message preached by Son of Man titled Testimony Of A True Witness Page 77
Vs 43, He reminded us this, “You see why
we must pay heed to His word. If you are playing in time past, today is a new
day. That God made you to be alive today is for a purpose that you will straighten
those things that have not been straightened in your life”.
12.
Let us
have faith and he steadfast. Faith is not faith until its all you are holding
onto.
CONCLUSION
13.
“All the prophets and priests, they all bowed down to
the god of Babylon except Daniel, Shedrach, Meshach and Abed-nego from
different provinces. If there were any other one, the Bible would have recorded
it. All the priests compromised, All the Pastors compromised, All the prophets
compromised. They do not want to die. Brothers, let us be very careful”. Mixed Multitude Part I, PAGE 59, VS 50.

It is not
only pastors and prophets that are involved. All of us are involved because all
metals must pass through the crucible. If we are placed in their shoes, will we
do better? Let God help us.
2.
In His
message Identification Of The Mighty Angel In Our Midst, PAGE 21 VS 3,
the Son of Man has this to say and I quote, “there
must be something you will hang your faith on; after all, in this faith, we ask
you to enquire as much as you can to find out the person you are having dealing
with because eternal life is not negotiable. Moreover there is no second chance
in it. You miss it, you have missed it”.
BUT
3.
Our God is
God of love. A God that knows our human wicknesses. A God that always thinks
good and not evil for all of us. Our Councillor, our Redeemer and our
Protector.
4.
He said and I
quote, “we are sure and certain that we
have found refuge in the Almighty and nothing can ever destroy us here on
Earth: no atomic bomb, no nuclear weapon, no arsenal, no earthquake, no tsunami
can destroy us here”. Random Comments

Corinthians chapter 2 verse 9
says, But as it is written “Eyes has not
seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things God has
prepared for those who love Him”. Glory be to His name – Amen, Amen, Amen,
Hallelujah!

e
will ever remain grateful for your abundant love towards all of us. You have
never ever loaded us with problems we cannot carry. You have been our guide and
protector since the world began. If you look into actions and reactions, may be
by now most of us would have been forgotten.
2.
You have
always and continually been guiding us on a positive track so that we would not
consent easily and accept what we would have declined. Also, that we who
decline easily, will not refuse what we would have accepted. You have taught us
that we should not allow our background no matter the circumstances to place
our backs on the ground. THANK YOU LORD!
3.
Sir,
sometimes, as mere mortals, our faiths shake and quiver, but when it happens,
kindly redirect our vision for without you we can do nothing. Keep us afloat
and help us navigate through the stormy torrents as we approach the end.
4.
Finally open
our eyes of understanding so that we can always see our brothers and sister
challenges as our own test and challenges. We are not hoping again and we
believe sincerely that your love will continue to radiate around all of us till
eternity. You are truly Blessed.
