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).

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.

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
7/29/2019 He is a Quickening Spirit 3
47/72
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
