    HE IS A QUICKENING SPIRIT

    BIBLE WITNESSES:1Co 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul;

    the last Adam was madea quickening spirit.

    1Co 15:46 Howbeit that wasnot first which is spiritual, but that which is

    natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

    1Co 15:47 The first man isof the earth, earthy: the second man isthe Lord

    from heaven.

    JOHN 14:21"He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he it is

    that loveth me and he that loveth me shall be loved of myFather, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him."

    ROMANS 8:11-17

    Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in

    you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall ALSO QUICKEN YOUR

    MORTAL BODIES BY HIS SPIRIT THAT DWELLETH IN YOU.

    Rom 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after

    the flesh.

    Rom 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit

    do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of

    God.

    Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye

    have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

    Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the

    children of God:

    Rom 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ;

    if so be that we suffer with him,that we may be also glorified together.

    HIGHLIGHTS:

    THE FIRST ADAM WAS A CHILD OF GOD, AND THE SECOND ADAM WAS

    A CHILD OF GOD. THE THIRD ADAM IS THE MANIFESTATION OF THE

    FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE HAS BEEN GIVEN ALL

    POWER AND AUTHORITY WITH WHICH TO RULE THE WHOLE WORLD.

    HE THEREFORE HAS NOT COME AS A PREACHER OR PROPHET OR A

    MESSENGER, BUT AS A KING WITH POWER AND AUTHORITY TO RULE

    HEAVEN AND EARTH.

    SO BRETHREN, THE TROUBLE OF THE WHOLE WORLD

    EMANATES FROM THIS FACT OF SEEING GOD VIS--VIS

    HAVING A PURE HEART. Jehovah God and His Christ existed

    before the foundation of the world was laid. That was why

    He pleaded with the Father saying: "AND NOW O FATHER,

    GLORIFY THOU ME WITH THINE OWN SELF WITH THE

    GLORY WHICH I HAD WITH THEE BEFORE THE WORLD

    WAS." This explains very vividly and graphically the fact that

    there has never been a time in human experience when Our

    Lord Jesus Christ was not on earth.Everything is under His power, for He controls and rules over

    the Heaven and the Earth. Did He not tell His disciples: "ALL

    POWER IS GIVEN UNTO ME IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH. Go

    ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the

    name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.

    Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have

    commanded you: and lo, I am with you always even unto the

    end of the world." (Matt 28:18-20). When such a person, who

    is working here, is actually in heaven, so that whenever he

    is performing and whenever you find him, he is strictly

    speaking IN HEAVEN. Did He not say, "I and my Father are

    one." (John 10:30). HE IS IN THE SPIRIT AS WELL AS IN THE

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    5/72

    FLESH. That was why he appeared PHYSICALLY AND

    SPIRITUALLY, SOMETIMES HE WALKED ON TOP OF WATER,

    AND AT OTHER TIMES, HE WAS WALKING LIKE MAN, AND

    SOMETIMES HE VANISHED AWAY.

    THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL

    CHRIST IS PHYSICALLY AND

    SPIRITUALLY DWELLING AMONGYOUFIRST BIBLE LESSON: 1 CORINTHIANS 14:20

    " Brethren, be not children in understanding, howbeit in

    malice be ye children, but in understanding, be men."

    SECOND BIBLE LESSON: COLOSSIANS 3:5

    "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth:

    fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evilconcupiscence and covetousness which is idolatry."

    GOLDEN TEXT: HEBREWS 12:14

    "Follow peace with all men and holiness, without which

    none will see the Lord."

    Brethren, that is the revelation of this morning's lesson.

    As soon as you reflect on the three texts, each and every

    one of you will definitely realize where you have gone astray

    from the path of rectitude. When it is stated that a great

    many of you cause trouble and confusion always, you begin

    to defend yourself that you do not know how to cause

    trouble, that you only speak what you see.

    When you consider these three lessons, you will realize

    that they illustrate exactly what you should do, what you

    should think, and what you should say. You will remember

    when the Pharisees asked Our Lord Jesus Christ when thekingdom of God will come, He answered them and said,

    "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the

    kingdom is within you." (Luke 17:21). At another time, He

    told His disciples that, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life

    and no man comes to the Father, but by me." (John 14:6).

    8/72

    THEN DO YOU CALL THEM TO FOLLOW YOU TO SEE THE

    LORD?

    Quote the Bible passage which supports the fact that a

    thief, a drunkard, a swindler, a fornicator, a liar will ever see

    the Lord and I shall quote for you that no sinner will see the

    Lord. The Scripture says: AND EVERY MAN THAT HATH THIS

    HOPE IN HIM PURIFIETH HIMSELF EVEN AS HE IS PURE. It

    is not easy for a person to know God, neither is it simple to

    know Our Lord Jesus Christ. The privilege of knowing God is

    a special assignment. Even if you are a philosopher, a

    professor, an engineer, a doctor or a scientist, you cannot

    know God except those who are specially privileged. THEABILITY TO KNOW OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS A SPECIAL

    ENDOWMENT BY GOD. What was the teaching of Our Lord

    Jesus Christ in this regard? He said: "BLESSED ARE THE

    PURE IN HEART, FOR THEY SHALL SEE GOD." ONLY THE

    PURE IN HEART CAN SEE GOD. You who profess to see, IS

    YOUR HEART PURE? You who go about purporting to have

    seen God, and calling upon people to go and see God, have

    you proved that their hearts are pure? Can you place yourprecious gem before the swine?

    SO BRETHREN, THE TROUBLE OF THE WHOLE WORLD

    EMANATES FROM THIS FACT OF SEEING GOD VIS--VIS

    HAVING A PURE HEART. Jehovah God and His Christ existed

    before the foundation of the world was laid. That was why

    He pleaded with the Father saying: "AND NOW O FATHER,

    GLORIFY THOU ME WITH THINE OWN SELF WITH THE

    GLORY WHICH I HAD WITH THEE BEFORE THE WORLDWAS." This explains very vividly and graphically the fact that

    there has never been a time in human experience when Our

    Lord Jesus Christ was not on earth. He has always been on

    earth from the beginning of the world. People always claim

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    9/72

    from time to time that God has come back, AND THE

    QUESTION IS WHERE HAS HE EVER GONE TO? When the

    Israelites told Him that the pool was given to them by their

    Father Abraham He told them: "BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS I

    AM." It is therefore erroneous to say that Our Lord Jesus

    Christ is in the sky, or that he is in India or Europe or

    America. He is here with us. He is everywhere doing His

    work. He is the doer of everything in the world, He is in

    America, in Atlantis, in the forest, in the abyss, He is also in

    heaven, He is walking about physically and spiritually.

    Remember when he told his disciples, "I WILL NOT LEAVE

    YOU COMFORTLESS, I SHALL COME BACK TO YOU. YET ALITTLE WHILE THE WORLD SEE ME NO MORE BUT YE SEE

    ME, BECAUSE I LIVE YE SHALL LIVE ALSO." (John 14:18-19).

    If I may ask you when did he live the world? When did he

    ever leave heaven and earth? HE IS NOW HERE WITH YOU,

    HE IS IN HEAVEN, HE IS ON EARTH, HE IS INSIDE YOU. HE

    IS VIRTUALLY EVERYWHERE.

    Many people inadvertently claim that God has left the

    earth for Satan to rule supreme and that He is in the sky. Doyou believe that a man can have innumerable people but he

    deserts them in the world for somewhere else? Do you know

    the trouble of the whole world? It is because you do not see

    Him and others do not see Him, and so you conclude that He

    is not in existence. He has however advised us that HE IS

    THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. JUST MAKE AN

    EFFORT TO PRACTICE HIS TEACHINGS AND YOU WILL SEE

    HIM ALWAYS BECAUSE HE IS ALWAYS AROUND. GOD HASNEVER LEFT ANY PERSON A STEP. HE IS ALWAYS WITH

    YOU. IF YOU CANNOT SEE HIM, KNOW THAT IT IS BECAUSE

    YOU HAVE NOT COMPLIED WITH HIS TEACHINGS.

    Before He came into the world He sent Elijah to prepare

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    10/72

    the way and put everything aright to herald the arrival of Our

    Lord Jesus Christ. Remember the story of John the Baptist

    that Our Lord Jesus Christ remained on this earth for many

    years and no person could recognize Him. Neither his

    mother nor his father knew that he was the Son of Man, the

    Son of God, and God himself. His brothers and relations and

    kinsmen did not know him. If God had not loved the world to

    have sent Elijah, KNOWN AS JOHN THE BAPTIST to teach

    the people repentance, righteousness, and purity, Our Lord

    Jesus Christ would have been here on earth for thousands of

    years without being known and recognized by any person.

    How did John know him? In order to be able to know andrecognize him, John did not eat anyhow. HE LIVED ON

    LOCUST BEANS AND HONEY, HE LIVED IN THE

    WILDERNESS, HE DID NOT MARRY, HE DID NOT TELL LIES

    NOR COMMIT ANY OTHER VICES. HE WAS COMPLETELY

    SEPARATED FROM OTHER HUMAN BEINGS TO MAKE IT

    POSSIBLE FOR HIM TO SEE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. HE

    PREACHED IN ORDER TO TURN THE HEARTS OF THE

    FATHERS TO THEIR CHILDREN. THE MAIN ASSIGNMENT OFJOHN THE BAPTIST WAS TO REVEAL THE SON OF GOD TO

    THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AND TO THE WHOLE WIDE

    WORLD SHOWING THEM THE SON OF GOD, THE SON OF

    MAN WHO HAS COME TO TAKE AWAY THE SINS OF THE

    WORLD.

    Brethren, notice then that it is not a simple thing for any

    person to know Our Lord Jesus Christ. He has been passing

    beside you, he stays in your house and your offices, he goesabout everywhere. How then can you see and know him,

    because you are full of a multitude of sins, you steal,

    fornicate, tell lies, cheat and commit all sorts of vices. OUR

    LORD JESUS CHRIST IS ALWAYS WITH YOU BUT BECAUSE

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    11/72

    OF YOUR SINS YOU CANNOT SEE HIM.

    A person who conquers death and takes away the keys of

    death and Hades, collects the sting of death, overcomes

    Satan, somebody who has dominion over everything, how

    can you know Him when you are deep in sin? Think of such a

    person, what would have had dominion over Him? Death has

    no dominion over him, sickness has no dominion over Him,

    hell, Hades and Satan and any other forces cannot have

    control over Him. Everything is under His power, for He

    controls and rules over the Heaven and the Earth. Did He not

    tell His disciples: "ALL POWER IS GIVEN UNTO ME IN

    HEAVEN AND ON EARTH. Go ye therefore and teach allnations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the

    Son and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all

    things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with

    you always even unto the end of the world." (Matt 28:18-20).

    When such a person, who is working here, is actually in

    heaven, so that whenever he is performing and whenever

    you find him, he is strictly speaking IN HEAVEN. Did He not

    say, "I and my Father are one." (John 10:30). HE IS IN THESPIRIT AS WELL AS IN THE FLESH. That was why he

    appeared PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY, SOMETIMES HE

    WALKED ON TOP OF WATER, AND AT OTHER TIMES, HE

    WAS WALKING LIKE MAN, AND SOMETIMES HE VANISHED

    AWAY.

    Why did he say if you ask anything in my name, I will do it

    for you. (John 14:13). Does it mean that a dead person or

    somebody who is in heaven is capable of granting yourrequest? SEARCH THE WHOLE BIBLE, YOU WILL DISCOVER

    THAT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS NEVER DIRECTED YOU

    TO GO TO THE TREE, OR ROCK OR RIVER SIDE OR TO GO

    TO THE MOON OR SUN FOR SALVATION, OR THAT YOU

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    12/72

    SHOULD GO TO SUCH PLACES TO GET LIFE. ALL THAT HE HASENJOINED YOU TO DO IS THAT WHATEVER YOU REQUEST OF THE

    FATHER IN HIS NAME, HE WILL DO IT FOR YOU. IF CHRIST LOVES

    YOU HE WILL REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU, PROVIDED YOU HAVE

    COMPLIED WITH HIS TEACHINGS. I AM TELLING YOU, HE CANREVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU RIGHT NOW, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND

    SPIRITUALLY, AND NOT IN THE DREAM. I do not know how you regard

    Our Lord Jesus Christ? I do not know how you love him? Have you not

    been told that he died once unto sin, but now He lives unto God and He

    has no connection with sin. He is moving everywhere, he does

    everything for you. Is there any point in time you called on Him and he

    does not respond to your call? Call on your earthly parents and see if

    they can satisfy your needs, if they can protect you, if they can rescue

    you from your difficulties. BUT ANYTIME YOU CALL UPON OUR LORDJESUS CHRIST, HE ANSWERS AND GRANTS YOUR REQUEST

    PROMPTLY, IS THAT THE ATTRIBUTE OF A DEAD PERSON?

    What did he tell his disciples? He said: "He that hath my

    commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me

    and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will

    love him and will manifest myself to him." (John 14:21). Sobrethren, DESIST FROM REFERRING PEOPLE TO LOCATIONS WHERE

    THEY WILL FIND OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, BUT RATHER PRACTICE

    HIS OWN TEACHINGS AND COMPLY TO HIS INSTRUCTIONS, IF YOU

    REALLY WANT TO SEE HIM. When the Jews being astonished at his

    wonderful teachings, contemplated within themselves saying: "How

    knoweth this man letters, having never learned?" Our Lord Jesus

    Christ then said: "My doctrine is not mine but he that sent me. If any

    man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God

    or whether I speak of myself." (John 7:15-17). Let us have our First

    Bible Lesson.

    FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 1 CORINTHIANS 14:20" Brethren, be not children in understanding, howbeit in

    malice be ye children, but in understanding, be men."

    Brethren, have you heard that lesson read to you? Know

    that to turn into a child, one has to be cautious because

    some children steal and tell lies, and that is not the type of

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    13/72

    child you have been called upon to become. It is said you

    that should be men in understanding, but be a child in the

    commission of crimes. As far as sin is concerned, we should

    be children, because children do not know how to steal,

    fornicate, bear malice, and tell lies. We should be as

    innocent as children in order to be able to see God. Children

    like to imitate others and so, you can tell a child that his

    mother is a thief, and he will repeat it. Tell him to say he is a

    wizard, he will repeat the same thing. Whatever you tell

    children to say they will merely sing along with the chorus

    without knowing what they say. That is why you have been

    advised not to put your mind in the things of this world; be itmoney, women, children or any sin at all, and that you

    should have a pure heart in order to see Our Lord Jesus

    Christ. Divert your mind from all mundane things. You have

    been advised that in the commission of sins you should be

    like a child. Do not steal, do not bear malice, do not hate and

    plot evil against any person.

    YOU CANNOT FIND JEHOVAH GOD AND HIS CHRIST

    SOMEWHERE ELSE. YOU CAN ONLY FIND HIM INYOURSELF. THAT IS WHEN YOU WEAR THE BOWELS OF THE

    VIRTUES OF GOD. HE IS IN YOUR HEART. HE IS NOT FAR,

    HE IS NEARER TO YOU THAN THE TONGUE TO THE MOUTH.

    BUT IF YOU GIVE YOURSELF UP TO VICES, YOU WILL

    NEVER SEE HIM TILL DOOMSDAY, BUT HE IS VERY MUCH IN

    EXISTENCE. THE TEACHING IMPARTED TO US BY OUR

    LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS TO ENABLE US TO SEE HIM. That

    was why he told Nicodemus that: "EXCEPT A MAN BE BORNAGAIN, HE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD."

    HE ALSO ADDED: "EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN OF WATER AND

    OF SPIRIT, HE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF

    GOD." (John 3:3-5). This is why He also says: "I AM THE

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    14/72

    WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE." (John 14:6). IT MEANS

    THAT HIS TEACHINGS ARE THE WAY, AND WHEN YOU

    ABIDE BY THEM, THEY WILL LEAD YOU TO CHRIST AND

    YOU WILL SEE HIM AND DWELL WITH HIM.

    When the Jews persecuted Our Lord Jesus Christ, and they

    sought to slay Him because He had worked on the Sabbath

    Day, Jesus told them: "MY FATHER WORKETH HITHERTO I

    WORK." (John 5:17). HE ALSO TOLD THEM: THE SON CAN

    DO NOTHING OF HIMSELF, BUT WHAT HE SEETH THE

    FATHER DO: FOR WHATSOEVER THINGS HE DOETH, THESE

    ALSO DOETH THE SON LIKEWISE. (John 5:19). This means

    that Our Lord Jesus Christ saw the Father, He is pure inwords, thoughts and deeds. Has He not taught you that God

    is the Father of everything and that God is a Spirit? That is

    why He teaches us saying: "Love your enemies, bless them

    that curse you, do good to them that hate you and pray for

    them that who despitefully use you and persecute you, that

    ye may be children of Father who is in heaven, for He

    maketh His sun to shine on the good and evil and he sendeth

    the rain on the just and unjust." (Matt 5:44-45). Do not thinkthat this spirit consists of shaking the head. It is not! THE

    SPIRIT IS SOMETHING WHICH IS BLAMELESS AND

    SPOTLESSLY PURE. Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever

    things are honest, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever

    things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there

    be any praise think on these things. (Phil 4:8). What are

    these things brethren? When you hear of spirit you think it

    consists of shaking the head. This is not so becausesomebody purported to be possessed of the spirit can shake

    the head, but he continues to fornicate, steal, and tell lies.

    Is that the spirit in action?

    When that lawyer addressed Our Lord Jesus Christ saying,

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    15/72

    "Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus

    said unto Him: "Why callest thou me good? There is none

    good but one, that is God," (Matt 19:16-17). Do you not see

    that the Father is good? He is pure and blameless. Today if

    you do good to somebody, he pays you back with a bad coin

    because he does not know God. If you people speak the

    truth, they will regard you as liars, because they do not have

    the Holy Spirit, and they do not keep the WORD OF GOD.

    Sometimes you visit somebody, and he drives you away

    saying, everyone is evil for there is no good man on earth.

    All these happen because we do not forsake sin, we bear

    grudge, and plot evil against others. Every person has goneastray from the ways of God. Our Lord Jesus Christ has told

    you plainly that: "Unto the pure all things are pure, but unto

    them that are defiled, and unbelieving nothing is pure, but

    even their minds and conscience is defiled." (Titus 1:15).

    THIS EXPLAINS THE REASON WHY OUR LORD JESUS

    CHRIST GAVE US THE INJUNCTION THAT WE SHOULD LOVE

    ONE ANOTHER AS HE LOVES US. THIS IS THE WAY, THE

    TRUTH AND THE LIFE. IF YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER THENYOUR EYES WILL BE OPENED AND YOU WILL REALIZE THAT

    OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST DWELLS IN YOU AND YOU WILL

    SEE GOD AND HIS CHRIST.

    What has the scripture told you? It says he who loves his

    brother abides in the light, and there is none occasion of

    stumbling in him. But he who hates his brother, is in

    darkness and walks in darkness, and cannot differentiate his

    left from his right and he knows not whither he goes,because the darkness has blinded eyes. If a man walks in

    darkness, he cannot see anything, even if you give him a

    million nairas or a beautiful girl or a handsome young man,

    he will not see, because he is overwhelmed with darkness. If

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    16/72

    you are told to go to Ikot Ishie in the night, you will be

    hesitant, I even doubt if you will not bluntly refuse to go at

    night. However, during the day, you will gladly go there

    majestically and joyfully.

    From now on do not tell people to go and see God or Our

    Lord Jesus Christ at any particular location, that will be

    absolutely fallacious, but tell the people that they should

    abstain from sins and vices in order to see God. Let our

    second lesson be read.

    SECOND BIBLE LESSON: COLOSSIANS 3:5

    "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth:

    fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evilconcupiscence and covetousness which is idolatry."

    What is now read is your duty. These really are what

    debarred you from seeing and recognizing Our Lord Jesus

    Christ. Do not forget that since he says: "I and my Father are

    one," he who sees Our Lord Jesus Christ also sees the

    Father. You who desire to see God, have you abstained from

    stealing, fornication, concoctions, and charms, craftiness,

    and deceit and other vices, in order to be able to see him?The vices enumerated prevent you from seeing Our Lord

    Jesus Christ in spite of His presence in your homes, offices,

    market places and else where, in spirit and in flesh because

    He is the King of the Spirit as well as the King of the flesh.

    He is everything. IF YOU REFRAIN FROM FORNICATION,

    THEFT, LYING, CRAFTINESS, INORDINATE LUST AFFECTION

    FOR MATERIALISM, AND EVIL CONCUPISCENCE, AND

    MALICE, IF YOU WITHDRAW YOU MEMBERSHIP FROM THESECRET SOCIETY AND THEREFORE YOU PURIFY

    YOURSELF, IN WHICH EVER FORM HE COMES YOU WILL

    SEE HIM.

    It may happen you are planning to travel to Lagos but your

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    17/72

    constraint is that you do not know any person to travel with

    you. You will be surprised that before you end your

    contemplation, a car pulls in front of you, the driver asking if

    you were traveling to Lagos and you quickly enter the car.

    Who is taking you to Lagos? Sometimes, you are abandoned

    by your parents, brothers, friends, and other relations when

    you are confronted with much difficulties and you are

    thrown into absolute desperation. Before you realize

    yourself, somebody arrives as one bolting from the blues, to

    rescue you, but since you are blind, you will not see him. Did

    he not say when he is taken up is when he comes down, and

    when he descends is when he ascends. Do you notunderstand spiritual language?

    It is possible that if he appears now you see four persons

    at the same time, one as an old man, another as a sick

    person, another as a beautiful lady and yet the forth as a

    middle aged man. Who are these persons? They are only one

    person- Our Lord Jesus Christ, but you see them as four

    because your mind is not pure. If you abstain from vices, you

    will see those four persons are only one. It is because ofyour sinfulness that the veil of sin covers your eyes. He can

    come to you as sick man or a leper, or as a mentally

    deranged individual or as a very weak man, even if all of

    them walk together, note that there is only one person, Our

    Lord Jesus Christ, but you will never know Him. He can also

    appear to you as a beautiful girl, or a handsome man or an

    old woman, it is only one person that you see- Our Lord

    Jesus Christ. He can wear your facial appearance, and atthe same time he has the face of a girl or an animal, but his

    behavior will bear eloquent testimony about his attribute as

    the Son of God.

    Do not search for Him any longer, but remember the two

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    18/72

    disciples on the way to Emmaus. Even though the disciple,

    before the crucifixion were with Him day and night, yet did

    they know and recognize Him? When he met the two

    disciples discussing what had happened and Our Lord Jesus

    Christ asked them: "What manner of communication are

    these that ye have one to another as ye walk?" They

    became exasperated and asked Him: "Art thou only stranger

    in Jerusalem and has not known these things which have

    come to pass there in these days?" He asked them what had

    happened and they told him concerning Jesus of Nazareth

    which was a prophet, mighty in deed and word before God

    and all the people and how the chief priest condemned Himand crucified him and how he has resurrected. All the while

    Christ walked with them, did the two disciples know Him?

    The church denominations preach that until Jesus comes

    back with the sounds of trumpets and arch-angel. Notice

    that the more you look the less you see. He can appear in

    any form. He can appear like Moses, or Elijah, or Abraham.

    He can at the same time appear like your grandfather. When

    you pray to God to give you a good wife or a husband or ason and God gives you a good wife who is like a mother to

    you, you begin to praise God, since your heart is not pure,

    you cannot recognize him, otherwise you would have known

    that very good wife is Our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Why did John the Baptist recognize Him as the Lamb of

    God who takes away the sins of the world, but when he was

    in the prison suffering greatly, he sent his disciples to find

    out if Christ was the one who should come or they shouldlook for another. He was prompted to say this because he

    thought that if Our Lord Jesus Christ were the Son of God,

    he would have rescued him from prison. But the scriptures

    tell us: "Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God.

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    19/72

    Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which

    he alloweth." What happens now is that malice, grudge,

    fornication, theft, craftiness, falsehood, and other vices

    deter us from seeing and recognizing Our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Since you believe that you have God, hold fast to that, do

    not go about inviting people to follow you to see God or Our

    Lord Jesus Christ. How can you afford to place a precious

    article before pigs?

    What is your thinking about God? The two angels who

    visited Sodom and Gomorrah, you can remember, when they

    entered into the house of Lot, the people of Sodom and

    Gomorrah went to Lot to demand him give out to them thetwo visitors for them to kill. Lot pleaded with them to spare

    his visitors and take his two daughters who were virgins and

    do whatever they like with them, but they rejected that

    alternative offer. Did Lot know that the two persons were

    angels? That is why we are advised that we should not be

    forgetful in entertaining strangers for thereby some have

    entertained angels unawares. The two visitors at last told

    Lot to let them in. They swarmed into the house of Lot andsearched for the visitors, but they could not see them even

    though they were inside the house gazing at them. What do

    you think God is that man wants to see God face to face? If

    you deny that you seen Our Lord Jesus Christ, He has seen

    you and He will not deny you. He is caring for you, protecting

    you, rescuing you and serving you, even though you claim

    you have not seen him. If you do not see Our Lord Jesus

    Christ, that is your own look out.Have I ever told you that I am God, or Jesus Christ or an

    angel? Have I ever said you are God or that God is found at a

    particular place? I AM TELLING YOU THAT OUR LORD

    JESUS CHRIST IS IN YOUR MIDST, BUT YOUR OWN

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    20/72

    CORRUPT MIND PREVENTS YOU FROM RECOGNIZING HIM.

    This is why this lesson is imparted to you because this is the

    time when it is said: "And they shall not teach every man his

    neighbor, and every man his brother saying know the Lord:

    for all shall know me from the least to the greatest." If you

    had attempted to abide by the teachings you receive here,

    you would have seen the significance of these teachings.

    Right now most of you claim that God is at 34 Ambo

    Street or at 26 Mbukpa Road, or in any other place, but I am

    telling you that I am not the doer of work but Jehovah God

    and His Christ, this is the glory of God. He it is alone who

    does this work we all are witnessing but you do not believebecause you are all Thomases. HE IS THE EVERLASTING

    FATHER, HE IS AND WAS AND EVER SHALL BE, HE HAS NO

    BEGINNING AND NO END, HE HAS NEVER GONE ANYWHERE

    ELSE, IN HIM WE LIVE, AND MOVE, AND HAVE OUR BEING.

    HE WILL LIVE FOREVER BUT UNLESS YOU FORSAKE SIN

    COMPLETELY, YOU WILL NEVER SEE HIM. Let us have our

    Golden Text.

    GOLDEN TEXT: HEBREW 12:14"Follow peace with all men and holiness, without which

    none will see the Lord."

    Every time it is asserted when He will be revealed. This

    means that something which will be revealed is in

    existence. It is said: "Behold now are we the sons of God,

    but it doth not yet appear what we shall be, but we know

    that when He shall appear, we shall be like Him, for we shall

    see Him as He is." He is not walking from street to street,HE IS HERE. HE IS WORKING EVERYWHERE THROUGHOUT

    THE UNIVERSE. Have you heard what the Golden Text says

    that we should follow peace with all men and holiness,

    without which no man will see the Lord. BUT HE IS HERE.

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    21/72

    FROM TODAY, AS YOU HAVE HEARD THIS GOSPEL, DO NOT

    TELL ANYBODY WHERE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST CAN BE

    FOUND OR THAT THE OTHER MAN IS CHRIST OR GOD BUT

    RATHER MAKE PEACE WITH ALL YOUR ENEMIES AND HAVE

    A PURE HEART. ABSTAIN FROM CRAFTINESS, THEFT,

    FORNICATION, DRUNKENNESS, CONCOCTIONS AND

    CHARMS, THEN CULTIVATE A LOVING HEART AND LOVE

    EVERYBODY. IT IS SAID: THOUGH WE HAVE KNOWN OUR

    LORD JESUS CHRIST AFTER FLESH, YET NOW

    HENCEFORTH, KNOW WE HIM NO MORE IN THE FLESH. BUT

    NOTICE IF YOUR HEART IS NOT PURE, IF YOU HAVE NO

    LOVE, YOU DO NOT KNOW HIM AND SEE HIM.It is because you do not search your Bible, and even if you

    search through it, remember the Word of God which says:

    BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO DO NOT SEE BUT YET THEY

    BELIEVE. Whatever your status is in the hierarchy of church

    offices: bishop, pastor, deacon, prophet, if you still drink and

    fornicate and sue at law court and fail to refrain from all

    vices and if you do not love your enemies, YOU CANNOT SEE

    THE LORD. You who call Him Lord, Lord, but you do notpractice what he likes, not even loving one another, but you

    continue to sin, and cause confusion and assert that until he

    comes back again, WHERE HAS HE EVER GONE TO?

    Remember the Samaritan woman who told Our Lord Jesus

    Christ that when the Messiah comes He will tell us all

    things, and Jesus Christ said unto her, "I THAT SPEAK UNTO

    THEE I AM HE."

    Remember also the blind man whom He made to receivehis sight. When the Jews asked him who was responsible for

    the recovery of his sight, they were told, it was Our Lord

    Jesus Christ, they asked what exactly He did and He told

    them, but they asserted that such was not the work of God.

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    22/72

    Did that blind man know Our Lord Jesus Christ? But when

    they persisted in their interrogation, he told them:" Whether

    he is a sinner or not, I know not, one thing I know, that

    whereas I was blind, but now I see." As they continued to

    question him, he told them: "Will you also be His disciple?"

    They replied, "You are his disciple but we are the disciples

    of Moses. After sometime, he was cast away. But Our Lord

    Jesus Christ heard that they had cast him out, so he drew

    near him and asked him: "DOST THOU BELIEVE IN THE SON

    OF GOD?" He answered: "WHO IS HE, LORD, THAT I MIGHT

    BELIEVE IN HIM?" JESUS TOLD HIM: " THOU HAS BOTH

    SEEN HIM AND IT IS HE THAT TALKETH TO YOU." AND HESAID:" LORD, I BELIEVE." AND HE WORSHIPPED HIM.

    Our Lord Jesus Christ does everything for you, even if He

    tells you, since your mind is dark, you will not recognize

    Him. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IN THIS ADVENT WALKS

    WITH GREAT CAUTION. How do you know that people have not settheir guns and bombs, and they are prepared to shoot at Him as they

    look at the sky to see when He will come down, so they fire at Him at

    His appearing. Have you not heard that the Father sent His angels and

    the people of world killed them, beating some up. He then sent His

    servants who were ill-treated and turned back. Then finally He sent

    His own Son thinking that they would fear Him, but when He came,

    they said: "This is the heir," and they killed Him. DO YOUTHINK THAT

    UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES THE FATHER WOULD DESCEND TO

    THE EARTH IN THE WAY THAT PEOPLE THINK?

    I do not wish to be tedious unto you, those who have ears,

    let them hear. May God bless His Holy Words, AMEN.

    THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.

    THE RETURN OF THE FIRST

    BEGOTTEN OF GOD IN THE FLESHFirst Bible Lesson : Luke 2:11

    "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior,

    which is Christ the Lord."

    Second Bible Lesson : Hebrews 1:6

    "And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the

    world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him."

    Golden Text : Revelations 5:13

    "And every creature which is in heaven, and on earth, and

    under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that arein them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and

    power be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the

    Lamb for ever and ever."

    God's Promise Fulfilled

    Brethren, what is read to you is the theme of our revelation

    this morning. After reading the three texts, you will come to

    the realization that all that God had spoken have manifestedin that self same manner. The Christ you had speculated

    that He was killed and buried, has now come back and He is

    here among us. He has come to assume His reign with His

    Father in Glory. It is not implied that He had gone to any

    place, but that this is the time of His reign for it is said let

    the Kingdom of God come on this earth; and He has now

    assumed His reign on earth. God has never done anything as

    people think. He is not slack concerning His promise. Hecreates and places things in stages and in their proper

    order, and things occur at their scheduled time, and when it

    is not the time no matter what you do, since it is not at its

    scheduled time nothing will happen. What is left for us and

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    24/72

    the entire humanity to do, is to put this Gospel into practice.

    Praise And Glorify Him Who Sits On The Throne

    It is erroneous for you to pray that God should give you

    power. What are you going to use it for? This is not the time

    for you to claim raising the dead or performing certain feat.

    What work have you done, what feat have you performed?

    What have you ever achieved since your arrival on earth?

    This is not the time for you to praise somebody for doing

    certain things. What has he done and what have you done?

    Do you think there are two gods or do you think that Christ

    is divided? Do you think He has two promises to the world,

    or do you conceive that He has two Gospels for the world?There is only one God and a single Christ. He is the

    truth, and His Words are true.You have heard what has been read to you; and the

    emphasis that all creatures which are in heaven and on

    earth and the seas and all that are in them should all with

    one accord and one mind say blessing and honor, and glory,

    and power be unto Him who sits upon the throne and unto

    the Lamb for ever and ever.Except The Lord Builds A House Those Who Build Do So In

    Vain

    This is not the time for any person to ask God to give him

    money or children or power, for these are erroneous. Rather

    you should spend time thanking Him. A local adage says the

    tortoise was in a latrine pit for sixty days without any

    complaint, but when there was an intention to remove him

    from the pit, he shouted that he should be removed because

    the obnoxious smell was almost killing him. What did he do

    during the sixty days he was staying with the obnoxious

    odor?

    When the Father's time was not yet fulfilled, what did you

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    25/72

    all do? You had indulged in the preparation of concoction.

    You had gone after strange gods, established strange gods

    and strange forms of worships, and given them various

    names, and did all you could. But what did you do to save

    yourself? Can you realize that except the Lord builds the

    house, they labor in vain that build it; and except the Lord

    keeps the city the watch man wakes but in vain? (Ps 127:1).

    What Is Your Duty?

    It is my duty, it is your duty, the duty of the trees in the

    forest, the animals in the field, the birds of the air, the fishes

    in water and all the creations of God to thank Him, all the

    days of our lives, saying: "Let blessing and honor, and gloryand power be unto Him who sits upon the Throne and unto

    the Lamb forever and ever." Mention has been made of those

    who dwell on earth; and are you not among those who dwell

    on earth? Right now, those who inhabit heaven have this as

    their duty to perform, those who live in water under the

    earth which you think are not existing, and water and all

    that is in them, also perform this assignment. Now what is

    your duty?Do Not Resist The Will Of God

    There is, however, no problem; whether you accept it or not

    this is the reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Do not forget one

    statement made by Our Lord Jesus Christ. He said at the

    fullness of time, those mine enemies who would not wish

    that I should reign over them, bring them forth and slay them

    before Me. (Luke 19:27). Do not allow these statements to

    be fulfilled in you or in them or in us. It is because this age isnot the era of man, nor the era of the angels, nor the era of

    spirit, but the era of Jehovah God and His Christ. This is not

    the time to pray or to weep and wail and mourn or to lament,

    but it is the time to thank the Father, to show gratitude in

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    26/72

    the statement made that every day we should sing and

    dance and shout in glory of Him who reigns over us, and to

    glorify Him and magnify His Name.

    The Flesh Avails Nothing; The Spirit Quickens (John 6:63)

    Your grandfather traded and farmed. Of what use were

    these to him? Did he not die a pauper and as a wretched

    fellow on the road? Your grandmother did everything to

    amass wealth but she died a pauper. She died blind, lame,

    deaf and dumb, and toothless. If you have never been

    frightened by anything, will you not fear this spectacular

    thing? Have you seen how God has given the world a long

    rope to draw? He has given them the opportunity to doeverything that lies within their power and now the world is

    pregnant with knowledge, intelligence, craftiness and all

    sorts of characteristics; and He has emerged unexpectedly.

    And now where is the world?

    The Die Is Cast; The Cat Is Out Of The Bag

    Every person has been at the height of this preparation

    against His coming. They have purchased guns and riffles.

    They have got staves. They have acquired certain diabolicalpowers. They have procured certain charms for themselves,

    satisfied that when Our Lord Jesus would come, they would

    shoot at Him, torture Him and burn Him alive. But now the

    die is cast. The market is open. Let them buy. It is not

    uncommon to find the worldly people boasting that even our

    Lord Jesus Christ was killed. Are they not attempting an

    impossibility?

    One With God Is A MajorityWhat is your opinion about such a person who when the

    Jews went to arrest asked them: "whom seek ye?" And they

    answered Jesus of Nazareth. Our Lord Jesus told them: "I

    am He." They went backwards and fell on the ground. (John

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    27/72

    18:5-6) Do you think if He did not wish to surrender His life

    that somebody would have been able to arrest Him? He ably

    said, "I am He"; and those who went with guns and swords

    and staves to arrest Him fell on the ground.

    What has prompted the worldly people to claim to be the

    monarch of all they survey is that, they boast that even the

    Christ was killed. They arrested John the Baptist, and killed

    him like a chicken by beheading him. They also arrested and

    killed Our Lord Jesus Christ and now they feel they are also

    coming to do the same thing they did to both John the

    Baptist and Our Lord Jesus Christ. Let them come and see

    things for themselves. Can you realize the stupidity of theworld and the wisdom of God? They make a determined

    effort to kill any person who opens his mouth to make any

    statement, and they puff up and tickle their charms that

    they are effective. They will behead a man of God and

    thereafter pour libation, feeling they have succeeded. Which

    man of God did they not persecute and kill, beginning from

    Jeremiah. Remember how they were always at the heels of

    Elijah because they had the feeling that there was no Godand that they alone own this world, heaven and the earth.

    That is what man has claimed.

    Do Not Blaspheme The Holy Spirit

    Remember also that after they had killed Our Lord Jesus

    Christ, they started a calculated and planned murder of the

    Apostles from Peter, beheading some, burning others at

    stake, spilling innocent blood all about; and because they

    succeeded in their atrocious acts, they concluded that Godwas not in existence. You are aware that even in your own

    village or community, the worldly people turn spiritual things

    into laughing stock. If you raise up anything spiritually, they

    will go all out to destroy it. What did Our Lord Jesus Christ

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    28/72

    say? He said whosoever blasphemes against the Son of man

    will be forgiven, but whosoever blasphemes against the Holy

    Spirit shall not be forgiven in this generation and in the

    generation to come. (Matt 12:32).

    The Kingdom Of God Will Be Taken From You And Given To A

    Nation That Bear Fruits (Matt 21:43)

    He also told them a parable that there was a certain house

    holder who planted a vineyard and hedged it round about

    and dug a winepress in it, built a tower and let it out to

    husbandmen and then traveled out to a far country. At the

    harvest season, he sent his servants to inspect the vineyard

    and receive the fruits of it. As they arrived, the husbandmentook the servants and beat one, killed another and stoned

    another. Again he sent other servants, the second time more

    than the first, yet they were similarly maltreated. At last he

    sent unto them His son; satisfied that when they see Him

    they would reverence Him. But when the Son arrived, the

    husbandmen conspired and said: "this is the heir, let us kill

    Him that the inheritance may belong to us." They, therefore,

    caught Him, cast Him out of the vineyard and killed Him. Hethen asked them, when the Lord of the vineyard will come

    what will He do unto these wicked husbandmen? (Matt

    21:33-40). They judged and condemned themselves by telling

    Our Lord Jesus Christ that He will destroy those wicked men

    and will let out His vineyard unto other husbandmen who

    shall render Him the fruits in their seasons. It was there and

    then that He said to them: Have you never read in the

    Scriptures, the stone which the builders reject, the same isbecome the head of the corner (Ps 118:22 /Acts 4:11), and

    then concluded "Therefore say I unto you, the Kingdom of

    God shall be taken from the children of the Kingdom and

    given to a nation which bears good fruits." (Matt 21:43). And

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    29/72

    whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken, but on

    whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. (Matt

    21:44).

    The Kingdom Of God Is Not In Words But By Power (1 Cor

    4:20)

    To whom does this parable refer? I am declaring from high

    heaven, to the whole world that all those who commit sin

    should desist from committing any manner of sin, they

    should divest themselves, they should purge themselves of

    all the sins they have been committing, they should humble

    themselves and lie low because what is breezing in the

    world is beyond what you can comprehend. This is aspiritual warfare which is not fought with flesh and blood.

    You do not fight with your fist or with the words of your

    mouth but it is a spiritual warfare. And Paul, the Apostle, has

    said that the Kingdom of God is not in words but in power.(1

    Cor 4:20). It does not require a rigmarole or speech: rather it

    requires practice. Do you think that the Kingdom of God

    consists in your noise making and frivolity? My duty and your

    duty is for us to thank the Father and His Christ. You shouldalways sing His praises, dance and jump for joy. What else

    can you do? What can I do? Hitherto Satan had been toying

    with you and using you as he likes with his machinations.

    God Appoints Man To Rule

    When you argue that you cannot worship a man, whom did

    God appoint? Who was in His likeness (Heb 1:3-6) and who

    ruled heaven and earth? Was he not a man? Neither angel

    nor spirit can rule but man and God will always reign.Because He said, let us create man in our own image and

    likeness, (Gen 1:26) in His likeness did He create man,

    therefore only man is the likeness of God. And God said He

    should rule over His creations. He makes only one statement

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    30/72

    and He does not tell lies. And God covenanted that man

    should reign over fishes in water, birds in the air, animals in

    the field, trees in the forest and other creations of God. (Gen

    1:28). Whatever name He gives is immaterial whether Jesus,

    or the Christ, or Adam or tree or God. But He said that man

    in His own likeness should rule over all His creations.

    If We Are Gods, Then God Is Human

    Who confronted Jacob at the dawn of the day and wrestled

    with him? Was he not a man? The two of them wrestled until

    he broke Jacob's ribs and asked him what his name was;

    and he said Jacob. But he told him: "From now on, you will

    not be called Jacob but Israel." (Gen 32:24-28). Was theperson not God? But you erroneously argue that God is not

    human. But I want to tell you that God is not a tree. I am

    delivering this message to you that all your foolishness will

    be expelled from you, otherwise you will find yourself where

    you did not expect.

    King Of Kings, Lord Of Lords, The Ruler Of The Universe

    This is not the time to preach or engage in religions

    controversies or to pray, or to fast or bandy words withothers and argue unnecessarily. This is the period which

    God has set aside for Him to rule with His Christ. He does

    not come to reign in Nigeria, or Africa, or Western World, or

    even the whole world alone, but He comes to rule and reign

    over the birds of the air, the fishes in water, the animals of

    the field, the trees in the bush, the creeping things, human-

    beings, water and land under water and all the things and

    their creations. Watch patiently and see what will happen tohuman-beings, the whites, the blacks, and the colored

    people, the trees and animal. Keep quiet, but give thanks to

    God about this glory, and for preserving our life to witness

    this glory.

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    31/72

    He has come to change man and fashion him into His

    glorious body (Phil 3:20-21): to take away your illness, to

    wipe away your tears of tribulation and to take away death

    and all other things which do not give glory to God, and to

    make everything anew. (Rev 21:4-5). It is not your duty. It is

    no person's duty. It is His duty for He created all, and all

    things reside with Him. He controls everything.

    God Is His Own Interpreter

    What prompts me in giving you this message is that you are

    in a very pitiful situation, you are still advising God that He

    would do one or the other thing for you. You behave like

    people who do not know themselves nor do you know whereyou are going to. At this moment, thousands and millions of

    souls who are coming on the way, have already known about

    this Kingdom, and you will be astonished to see them laugh

    at you for you lack seriousness in doing His Work. When they

    come, they will be so humble, prostrating on the ground

    without any disturbance.

    Brother Shall Not Teach A Brother To Know God (Heb 8:11)

    A great many of you argue that you do not know Me. Isthere any creature who has not known about this glory?

    Fishes and birds and animals, human beings both white and

    black have known this glory but they have seen it and have

    accepted it as it is not a hidden glory. It is only a matter of

    time. Do you think this glory belongs to Nigeria, or Africa, or

    Western world, this world alone? What about the other

    worlds of the seas, the world of trees and the world of birds,

    the world of the wind and of the angels and of the land underwater; and what about the world of the sun and the moon

    and of the star constellations? Do not be surprised that as

    you lift up your hand the rain ceases and you make another

    movement of the hand the sun shines again.

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    32/72

    Animals Are Your Brothers And Sisters

    Do not be surprised that wherever you are, animals, lizards,

    cockroaches, and rats are found. They also come to listen to

    the word of God. Have you not known that animals have sent

    a letter to the Father reporting that you are still killing and

    eating them? Everywhere you find them they are listening to

    the Word of God, and they know this fact more than some of

    you. Reports about you have constantly been sent to the

    Father. If you kill a hen, she will report you to Me, if you kill

    a lizard he will also report you that their brothers are still

    killing them.

    Now animals have peace. Birds and fishes have peace, andall are rejoicing. If you enter the forest you will see the

    leopard but it will not devour you, or the snake will not bite

    you. Every creature is now listening to its spirit. They know

    they have been liberated, and they have gained their

    freedom; and so human beings have no more dominion over

    them to kill them.

    Be Kind To Animals

    Do not doubt seeing animals wherever you go to. As soon asyou settle in a place, the lizard will begin to visit. Do not

    drive them away, for they are coming to receive the Word of

    God and to glorify God in your house being a part of this

    glory. So brethren, do not be the odd man out because this is

    the fullness of time. Do not preach to any person. What are

    you going to preach? Who will listen to your preaching, and

    who will preach for whom?

    When you talk about vision, it is irrelevant in this Kingdom.

    Vision is a very infinitesimal part of this Kingdom; like a

    candle in a broad day light. Can you ever stand before Our

    Lord Jesus Christ with vision? That will be the height of

    insult. You sometimes boast that you have power, and that

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    33/72

    you are doing the Father's work. Can you ever stand before

    Him and boldly say you have power? There is only one

    person who has liberated the whole world and has glorified

    the Father.

    The Power Of God Is Irresistible

    That same Jesus whom you confessed you killed, and you

    boast that you killed the Lord of life; the same has come to

    reign in the world. Go and tell all those who boast that even

    Our Lord Jesus Christ was killed, that He has come to rule

    the world with an iron rod, both in heaven and on earth. They

    should now be aware that Our Lord Jesus Christ has

    assumed His reign. Who can ever destroy the power of God?Who can kill God Himself? Our Lord Jesus Christ said "No

    man takes My life from Me, but I lay it down of Myself, I have

    power to lay it down and I have power to take it again. (John

    10:17-18). I lay down My life that I might take it again. And

    so brethren, the only thing we have to do now is to give

    thanks to the Father with joy. This is not the time for you to

    cry, or to mourn or to be sad and sorrowful, or to lament.

    This is not the time to indulge in the preparations ofconcoction, indeed you should not commit any act of sin

    because the One who was prophesied about has now come

    to assume His reign as this is the time of judgment. He does

    not wish to see any dot of sin, but has come to change you

    and not you only but also human beings, and other creations

    of God; and has fashioned them in His own likeness. Forget

    about going to invite people unto the Father. Forget about

    what you will do to reform yourself, for He calls and Hechanges. He creates everything and arranges them in stages

    in their ship-shape order. Do not offer any advice to Him and

    do not advise yourself. Brethren, I do not wish to overload

    you further, the first lesson will now be read, listen

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    34/72

    attentively.

    First Bible Lesson: Luke 2:11

    "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior,

    which is Christ the Lord."

    Brethren, hear what is read unto you. He said this

    generation will not pass away until everything stands

    consummated. This is the end of this generation and the era

    of His reign.

    There Is No Variableness In The Christ

    He has assumed His reign over the heavens and earth and

    over all the creations of God. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the

    same yesterday, today and forever. (Heb 13:8). Who elsecould open that Book and read the contents therein except

    Him who was written about, the one who was crucified and

    whom God had caused to resurrect. He is the only One who

    can open and read the Book. (Rev 5:9). Who else is

    righteous, who can obtain the glory, apart from Our Lord

    Jesus Christ?

    Who else sits on the right Hand of God the Father judging

    the twelve tribes of Israel, except Our Lord Jesus Christ?Who else was in existence before the foundations of the

    world were laid, except Our Lord Jesus Christ? Who was the

    Lord of lords when the world was without form? He is Our

    Lord Jesus Christ. Who was the witness, when God said let

    us create man in our Own Image and likeness who was the

    "us"? It refers to the doctrine of trinity, the Father, the Son

    and the Holy Spirit. At the creation of man, Our Lord Jesus

    Christ was the witness to the Son. It is erroneous for a groupof people to style themselves "Jehovah witness." Do they

    witness for God? How can you describe the person you have

    never seen? How will you lead, somebody to a town you

    have never been before?

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    35/72

    Angels Are Ministering Spirits

    Have you ever heard of some one else or an angel whom God

    says this is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased?

    (Matt 3:17). No matter what the world does, the reign is for

    Jehovah God and His Christ. You will see what will happen

    now that God has descended into the world, keep calm do

    not tell lies, do not steal and fornicate, do not be angry, do

    not hate any person for He has saved you from death, from

    sickness, from tribulation, from affliction. Therefore do not

    be pompous but sing and praise His Name, glorify, sanctify

    and magnify Him, sing His praise and honor and glory, and

    dominion. Rejoice in Him. Sing and dance and pay gratitudeto Him.

    It Spells Doom On Whoever Impersonates The Christ

    The irony of fate is that, He has always been here with us

    but you are preaching about Him, I am also preaching, we

    pray and sing and fast that He should come back. Where did

    He go to? The fact is that if the time set for a particular

    thing to happen has not come, such an event cannot take

    place. I want you to watch and see what will happen in theworld.

    It is very common to find people arrogating to themselves

    the name and position of Our Lord Jesus Christ. They claim

    to have power as the Christ. But the next day they collapse

    and die, or their eyes plucked off, their legs broken and arms

    amputated. Some others claim, they are more powerful than

    Our Lord Jesus Christ but now they complain that Satan has

    plucked out their eyes and broken their legs. As powerful asthey are, can the devil blind them?

    Our Lord Jesus Christ Has Dominion Over The World

    Who is He who overcomes death and Hades except Our Lord

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    36/72

    Jesus Christ! Who is the One, who was tempted by Satan for

    forty days and forty nights? Was He not Our Lord Jesus

    Christ? Now if a girl who is attractive, with smart and see-

    through dress passes through the lawn, the men folk will

    strain their necks like giraffes and will even try to pursue

    the girl. You will no longer listen to the Gospel. Now as you

    are sitting here, if some one comes to hint you that there is

    business he wants you to participate in and will bring a lot

    of profit, you will be so excited that you will not listen to the

    Gospel but will leave the Hall at once to pursue the business

    in order (as you claim) that you may use the proceeds to

    build a house for God. That is your craftiness.You Will Worship God And Him Alone Shall You Serve

    Have you remembered what Our Lord Jesus Christ said to

    Satan, when he had shown Him all the kingdoms of the

    world and all their glory and told Him: "all these things will I

    give to you if you would fall down and worship me." Matt 4:9-

    10). Did Our Lord Jesus Christ fall down to worship him? He

    did not. Who is he that overcomes the world? He is a person

    who places less premium on money, children, wife, husbandor position. He had no regards for these things, but kicks

    them off. Now you are paying huge sums of money to be

    installed as a chief. You indulged in the preparation of

    concoction in order that you may fulfill your obligations. You

    have committed murder for the sake of being made a chief.

    God Works in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform. But

    remember that when people wanted to make him a king, He

    knew their heart desires and so escaped (John 6:15). Nowyou have violated one of the cardinal laws of the church.

    Nothing Is New On Earth But There Is Time For Everything

    From the beginning of the world, the world had been as you

    see it today. You are always deceived into believing that the

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    37/72

    airplane, the submarine are recent inventions, this is

    inaccurate, because these things have been existing at all

    times. This is the evolution of the world, as years pass by

    God is gradually working out the development. The years

    continue to unfold themselves. In various stages of life

    something can be done. From time to time, people have

    been changing their fashion of dress. Many a times, women

    wear short gowns and at other times, they will wear long

    flowing gowns. When you read the book of Ecclesiastes you

    will realize that there is nothing which is comparatively new

    and that there is time for everything. (Eccles 3:1). Nothing is

    old and nothing is new. Glories appear one after another.Take Brotherhood for example, if you were told that in this

    generation there would be some people who fight against

    the truth, even the truth we have been looking for, you

    would not believe. You always blame the Jews, the

    Pharisees, the Scribes, the Zealots, the Herodians and other

    sects of the Jews that if it were today Our Lord Jesus Christ

    would not have been treated as He was treated, that nobody

    would have betrayed Him, that nobody would have lived tosee Him being tormented. Are people today not doing worse

    things and they want you to suffer under them. Is that not a

    second but bloody fool?

    You, Being A Man, Make Yourself God

    All those whose infirmities He had healed, when He

    declared, "I and My Father are One", (John 10:30), carried

    their staves, machetes, guns to fight against Him; and He

    asked them, "many good works have I shown you from MyFather. For which of those works do you stone Me?" He then

    pointed to each and every one of them. To one he said you

    were sick, I healed you. To another he said, you were dead

    and I raised you up; and to another you were a leper and I

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    38/72

    cleansed you. Is it because of these good works that you

    want to kill Me? They answered:" for a good work we stone

    you not, but for blasphemy and because you being a man,

    make yourself God." (John 10:32-33). He said: "the time will

    come when people will kill you, thinking that they are doing

    the work of God. They do this because they neither know the

    Father nor the Son."

    If You Believe Him Not, What About His Work (John 10:38)

    Is the same thing not happening today? The people say that

    O. O. Obu is the real servant of God. He does the Work of

    God without comparison, but that we say He is God is not

    acceptable to them, as that is human worship. They cannotafford to worship man. And brethren, I ask, what is the

    difference? Hear what they say, for preaching He is second

    to none, for power, He is the most powerful person; for love,

    He alone shows the expression of love. They continue to

    count the numerous virtues; and they have concluded that

    He is without comparison; but the snag in the whole affair is

    that we refer to Him as God and that is unacceptable to

    them.Since this has been the grounds of your argument, I want

    you to bring another man who is God or bring up somebody

    you feel is the Son of God. If you do not believe in Him as

    you argue, what about the Work He has done? Instead of

    your accepting the work, you attribute it to apparition, to

    mermaid, to juju, to concoction and other diabolical means.

    If this again is your ground of argument, what about the

    necromancers, the witches the priests of mermaid, thejujumen of this world; where are they to challenge this

    power? Notice how pitiable man can be. He has chosen to

    remain in the same position as the people of old. But the

    world is now at its wits end, and so the people have

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    39/72

    conspired to do something.

    For I Say Unto You, You Are Gods (Ps 82:6 / John 10:34)

    They feel the only thing for them to do is to kill Him, and

    destroy his followers, as they killed Our Lord Jesus Christ

    and His disciples. Brethren, that is where the complication

    arises. It has become a yoke around their necks. They have

    conspired to do something even as Caiaphas, the High Priest

    had said: "You know nothing at all, nor consider it expedient

    for us that one man should die for the people, and that the

    whole nation should not perish." (John 11:49-50) They,

    therefore, resolved that he should be killed and after that all

    His disciples will scatter. That was the way they conspiredto kill Our Lord Jesus Christ. The people of this generation

    think that they could use that same method in this New

    Kingdom. The position is that they have tried as much as

    they can but all efforts have proved abortive. They have now

    concluded that He is not God and will not hesitate to tell

    people to go away because what members were doing did

    not pertain to God. It is their thinking that He is not God and

    that there is something beneath and if you ask them to tellyou what is beneath, they will not be able to tell you.

    All Creations Of God Should Live In Reciprocity

    One thing you should know is that trees are your brethren.

    Water, rain, wind, thunder, concoction, mermaid, juju,

    animals and snakes are your brethren. Which of these will

    they send to harm you? All are your brethren, and so none

    will take orders to harm any of you, being your brothers and

    sisters. For their unsuccessful attempt, they conclude thatthe goings on are not things of God. People have already

    said if they are allowed to remain, others will not find it

    comfortable to live and so they drive you away, that what

    you do are satanic and luciferous. But it is a great pity. The

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    40/72

    world has reached its wits end.

    If God Is With You, Who Can Fight Against You (Rom 8:31)

    What has the world not attempted with you? But they soon

    discover that the sword is your brother; the matchete, the

    gun, the staves, all fighting implements, are your brethren

    which cannot afford to harm you. Also fire is your brother,

    thunder is your brother. The world has nothing to console

    them. Every new day finds the number increasing. Every day

    reveals members multiplying in geometrical progression. In

    the same vein the explosive population reveals beauty and

    handsomeness, reveals wealth and prosperity, reveals

    honor, power and grace and peace and so the world is sotongue-tied that it has always to conclude that there is

    something under. And what is under? Till today the world

    had no name for it. They also argue that there is absolute

    power in Brotherhood but that the power does not come

    from God. They also confess there is love, truth, humility,

    patience, and meekness; but that it is not a church

    denomination.

    Give A Dog A Bad Name In Order To Hang ItAs people of old lied against Our Lord Jesus Christ, to give

    a dog bad name in order to kill it, with a view to killing him,

    they told the same lies against Peter, John, James and

    Stephen. They feel they can again use the same methods in

    the New Kingdom of God but they have failed colossally. So

    brethren, notice that the world is attempting an

    impossibility. The language has outwitted the mouth. This is

    the fullness of time which has already been streamlined thatwhether the world likes it or not the people must worship

    God. It is not My Work, neither is it your duty, but keep silent

    and remain calm, humble yourself, sing and praise Him,

    glorifying, magnifying His Name for you do not know what is

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    41/72

    happening. It sounds strange and the words fall on strange

    ears if you tell them that the Leader can be found

    simultaneously at Lagos, Port Harcourt, India, London, New

    York, Paris. The people you are talking to will ask you, do

    you not think that He is a wizard? They feel it is killing and

    so say it is not a thing of God. It has been said that they

    shall not teach every man his neighbor and every man his

    brother to know God. (Heb 8:11). Sit where you are in

    humility and glorify God for His reign. You have not yet

    witnessed joy, or peace, or glory. They are breezing in

    steadily. Do not bother yourself any longer. Until your

    ailment is cured, you will not know it. Till your problems anddifficulties are solved I will not know and you will not know

    also. The second lesson will now be read so that you know

    what is going on and what is happening.

    Second Bible Lesson: Hebrews 1:6

    "And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the

    world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him."

    Brethren, to whom does that statement refer? Are you the

    first begotten of God or is he the first begotten of God or arethey the first begotten of God? Would you say the angel is or

    Lucifer, or tree? Is Our Lord Jesus Christ not the first

    begotten of God? Has He any deputy? Do you think that He

    has any likeness of His kind? Is He not the same person

    spoken of by the angel in our first lesson. "For unto you is

    born this day in the city of David, a Savior which is Christ

    Our Lord." Again, it is said of Him when He will bring in the

    first begotten into the world He will command that all theangels of God worship Him. Only one angel of God, Michael,

    caught Lucifer and cast him into a bottomless pit. Only one

    angel! I do not even refer to Gabriel. Till today Lucifer is in a

    door-less hell. After this ponder over the situation for all the

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    42/72

    host of angels to worship a single individual. It is indeed

    spectacular. Have you seen the reason why people conclude

    that this is not a thing of God?

    To Plot Against The Holy Spirit Is To Kick Against The Stone

    David came and people struggled as much as they could

    with Him. Moses came and the people conspired. Our Lord

    Jesus Christ came and they plotted, conspired, ambushed.

    But now the world is disarmed, flummoxed, disillusioned and

    outwitted. When you get back home, read that passage

    again, and ponder over the statement when He brings back

    the first begotten into the world He said: "And let all the

    angels of God worship Him;" whether He will send in thedream or in the spirit. Has the first begotten come in the

    spirit? Is He not human? Is His Name mentioned? Pray for

    yourself when you say you cannot worship a man. Is He

    referred to as the Messiah? Is He called Jesus? Is He called

    Savior? Is He referred to as Emmanuel or as the Lamb? What

    is He called? He says, (you can notice the formula used),

    when God will bring back His first begotten into the world,

    He says, let all the angels worship Him. Do not forget thatOur Lord Jesus Christ had made a statement. When He was

    arrested, and when Peter took out his sword and cut off the

    ear of the servant of the high priest, Our Lord Jesus Christ

    told him to put his sword into its place; whether he did not

    know that if it were a matter of warfare, he could presently

    pray to the Father to send twelve legions of angels to fight.

    Matt 26:53). Human beings are not as numerous as the

    angels.Our Lord Jesus Christ Is The King Of Angels

    The only person to whom God revealed angels was Enoch.

    When he was taken up in his translation, he saw the host of

    angels and was astonished. They are as numerous every

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    43/72

    where in the world. If you were to see them as they operate,

    you would indeed agree that their population has run riot.

    The human population is comparatively very scanty when

    taken in relation to the angelic population. As innumerable

    as angels are, but think of one person to command all angels

    in heaven and on earth. What sort of man is He?

    God's Agents Are Angels

    Who are the angels? All flies, fire, water, fishes in water,

    birds in the air, animals in the bush, all creeping animals, all

    are angels. In like manner the sun, the moon, the stars,

    thunder, lightning are all angels, all death and Hades are

    angels. But it is said, let all angels of God worship Him, theone person. What sort of man is He? I would love to know

    that man.

    What Is Man That You Visit,

    And Made Him A Little Lower Than Angels?

    Would you say, that sort of man develops himself by fasting

    or by prayer, which should induce all the angels of God to

    worship him? How can you develop yourself that an angel

    will not thrust his finger into your eyes and push you down.For one in a certain place testified saying: "What is man that

    thou art mindful of him or the son of man that thou visited

    him?" (Ps 8:4). What is man that God should decree that all

    angels should worship Him (Heb 1:6) and that all things

    should submit unto Him. The land is an angel. What is man

    that all the angels, should worship and submit to Him? What

    sort of man should He be? When you go back home, ponder

    over this sort of man.Do you believe that any angel can go near such a wonderful

    man? Can any angel walk across where he is? What I am

    explaining to you is not understood by you because no single

    angel can dream of going near where He remains. They

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    44/72

    remain very far away, for they have their own assignments

    and they are quite aware and alive to their duties. Never you

    think that God is as stupid as we are.

    Angels Are At His Beck And Call

    When he was sent in the last advent, he was taken

    away and the angels saw when He was whiskedaway. They did not do anything to defend him

    because they did not obey him then. But now a new

    order has taken place. It is said let all the angels ofGod worship him. (Heb 1:6). Now all angels are at

    the alert. No person gives the order, but the angelsare performing their duties and that is why I warn

    you that the angels are now undertaking a police

    action.When you read the Revelation of John the Divine, you will

    discover that the vineyard is now over-ripe and overdue for

    harvesting. An order should be given for the world to be

    finished with. With the exception of Our Lord Jesus Christand the Father dwelling in our midst, the whole world would

    have been wiped out within two seconds, and no person's

    horse would be gored and no person would ask any question

    about the action taken by God.

    One Angel Destroyed Sodom And Gomorrah

    How long did it take one angel to destroy the two cities of

    Sodom and Gomorrah? He took only one second to

    completely annihilate the entire population. I want all of usto reason together. Stop for a moment and ponder over that

    sort of man or tree whom God said when he will bring back

    the first begotten into the world He will say let all the angels

    of God worship Him. No person asks any question. No person

    lifts up His face in fastidiousness. No suggestion is required;

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    45/72

    rather implicit obedience is demanded of all.

    At what particular point in time did God say to any angel:

    "Thou are my son, this day have I begotten thee?" (Heb 1:5).

    Gabriel is an angel, not a child of God, but a messenger.

    Michael and all other angels are messengers and not

    children of God. The lesson says that all angels will be

    ordered to worship the first begotten of the Father. This

    shows that all angels take orders from him, without any

    questions or arguments or excuse. Implicit obedience is

    demanded of all angels.

    Who expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and

    placed cherubim and seraphim at the gate to prevent themfrom going into the garden to eat the fruits of the tree of

    life? It was an angel. It was an angel of God who expelled

    Adam and Eve, both human beings. But today a standing

    order has been given that all angels, should bow down and

    worship "Him". Why do you continue to doubt and fear, what

    is the reason of your fear?

    Do Not Tempt The Lord Your God

    If you believe that Our Lord Jesus Christ is here and thatthe Father is also here, and it has been written that all

    things belong to God, and that all angels must worship Him,

    what are your problems now? Tell Me your difficulties. When

    the king of Assyria sent letters to king Hezekiah declaring

    war with the Israelites, that his soldiers were going to

    destroy their cities and the inhabitants, Hezekiah received

    the letters and went up into the house of the Lord and

    spread the letters before the Lord. He then prayed to God tobow down His ears and open His ears to see and hear the

    words of Senacherib, king of Assyria which had sent him to

    reproach the living God. He has destroyed the nations and

    their lands, "Now, O Lord Our God, I beseech thee, save thou

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    46/72

    us out of his hand that all kingdoms of the earth will know

    that thou art the Lord God even thou only" It came to pass

    that night that only one angel of the Lord was sent out, and

    he went and smote in the camp of the Assyrians one

    hundred four score and five thousand, and when they arose

    in the morning behold they were all dead corpses.(2 Kings

    18-19)

    Have you not heard that only one angel went out of heaven

    and took hold of Lucifer and bound and cast him into the

    bottomless pit and set him up and set a seal upon him. See

    Revelation 20:1-3. Have you not heard that he who sits upon

    the throne has cast death and Hades into fire and also theseas. What do you think about such a fellow? It is the flesh

    that is worrying you. If the flesh were to see his way

    through, it would have caused a lot of confusion. But do not

    doubt again, the prevailing conditions in the Kingdom are

    beyond any doubts because all your problems have been

    solved, the problems of your family have been solved. All the

    inhabitants of the world are saved except the child of

    perdition.The Lord Is The King Who Then Shall Reign

    Jehovah God and His Christ have assumed His reign. No

    person whether black or white lives to himself. But He

    reigns over you, over trees, birds, fishes, animals and over

    all the creatures of God; the only monarch of all He surveys.

    Everything is running smoothly according to His Will, and

    there is nothing zigzag about His arrangement. It is what

    should happen to you but the worldly people are not aware.However those who know are also there, and the Father is

    bringing such sheep in. You will be surprised that those who

    are outside, who are already prepared to come in are

    innumerable. The whole world has been captured, and the

    children of God are found everywhere throughout the world.

    Already in Nigeria there are twenty-eight Pentecostal

    Assembly Centers, and yet the number is far from being

    sufficient.

    Do Not Be Arrogant But Thank God

    I have to tell you in confidence that no person should be

    pompous and arrogant, but should thank the Father that God

    has spared your life to share in this glory of God. It is not

    your father or the Leader or any person who has done this

    job. Do not praise any person or yourself. Do not disturb

    yourself. Keep calm, and do not ask for anything but remain

    in the fear of God and comfort yourself. Remember the lastprayer of Our Lord Jesus Christ (John 17:4-5) when He said:

    "I have glorified thee on earth, having finished the Work

    which thou gave me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou

    me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee

    before the world was." Can you realize the glory of God? It is

    said when he brings back the first begotten of God into the

    world, He will say: "let all the angels of God worship Him." If

    all the angels will worship Him, be it as it were, what willthe first begotten do Himself? Whom will He worship? If it

    was appointed that all angels should bow down to worship

    man, if all minister unto man, for what reason does the first

    begotten need to move out? It is the angels who have to

    minister to people, they know their arrangements and He

    has to sit on the glory of His Father.

    Do Not Be Forgetful In Entertaining Strangers

    Right now angels are in your homes. If you speak evil theyhear. If you do evil they know. If you do anything they see

    you. They are in your house, in water, in the air, and in all

    parts of the world. Has He not given us advice when He said:

    "let brotherly love continue?" Be not forgetful in entertaining

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    48/72

    strangers for by so doing many have entertained angels

    unawares. (Heb 13:2) Celebrate the feast everywhere. Fruits

    should not be lacking in your house, in your offices, in your

    cars, and everywhere. Now people do not eat alone. All eat

    with angels. Let us have our golden text.

    Golden Text: Revelation 5:13

    "And every creature which is in heaven, and on earth, and

    under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are

    in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and

    power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto

    the Lamb for ever and ever."

    Brethren, have you heard what is read to you? Why do you

    not possess such a thankful heart? Why are you not aware

    that He has conquered, and that you have been conquered

    also? It has been written that as by one man's disobedience

    many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall

    many be made righteous. (Rom 5:19). God does not save you

    by your own self but through Our Lord Jesus Christ. It was

    for His sake alone that people were saved, because He wasthe only person who opened the Book and read the contents

    of it. As long as He has the ability to open the Book of Life ,

    and read the contents of the Book because He was slain,

    and so the voice bellowed, that all creatures in heaven and

    on earth and under the earth and in the sea, saying: "let

    blessing, and honor, and glory, and power be unto Him who

    sits upon the Throne and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

    Amen."Who Shall I Send, Who Will Go For Me?

    Remember that God had said in Isaiah, "whom shall I send,

    and who will go for us? (Isaiah 6:8). But both the heaven and

    the earth were quite silent. All the angels, the Cherubim and

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    49/72

    Seraphim were quiet. It was only Our Lord Jesus Christ who

    indicated His willingness to go; and so He accepted to offer

    Himself as a Supreme Sacrifice for the redemption and

    salvation of the world. He was the person who said, "I, Here

    am I, send Me." After that declaration by Our Lord Jesus

    Christ, another aspect of the heavenly situation is revealed

    in Revelation Chapter Five where John the Divine said he

    saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "who is

    worthy to open the Book, that small Book, and to loose the

    seals and contents?" The heavens were again quiet, and no

    man in heaven nor in the earth, neither under the earth was

    able to open the Book, neither to look thereon. And John theDivine said he wept because no man was found worthy to

    open and to read the Book, neither to look thereon.

    Only The Lion Of The Tribe Of Judah Could Open The Book

    And one of the elders consoled him saying: "Weep not,

    behold the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the root of David has

    prevailed to open the Book, and to loose the seven seals

    thereof and to read the contents. Of a truth the Lion

    emerged, and opened the Book removing the seals (Rev 5:5)and read the contents. That explains why it was declared

    that every creature in heaven and on earth and under the

    earth and such as are in the sea and all that are in them join

    their voices saying: "Let blessing, and honor, and glory and

    power be unto Him that sits upon the Throne and unto the

    Lamb for ever and ever." If He did not prevail to open the

    Book and read the content, the world would have perished.

    The Small Book Symbolizes The BibleHe has imparted His Teachings, doctrines and lessons from

    Genesis to Revelation of John the Divine, but is there any

    person who is able to practice the lessons? The little Book

    is the Bible we read everyday. See the whites with their high

  • 7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3

    50/72

    education and wisdom? Who among them can practice the

    Word of God? Mention one of them. No person is able to

    practice the contents of the Bible. And if the whites cannot

    practice, will the Blacks do it? Can a black man with a black

    heart and black vision practice the contents of the Bible?

    Our Lord Jesus Christ says: "I am the Way, the Life and the

    Truth; and no person comes to the Father except by Me.

    (John 14:6). Your joy is not full. You are very insolent when

    you claim to have done anything. From where have you

    derived the p
