The Sabbath Is
Universal And Compulsory
By
Apostle Jude
Opening
Benediction
Apostle Jude: Son of man, as myself is standing present in the midst of the children of God, even so we make the light of the Holy Spirit shine forth for all those who believe.
Son of man, we have given them a new heart and a new spirit.
We give them new power with which they shall worship God.
We give them the spirit of holiness, the spirit to keep the rites of holiness.
Why Rites
Of Holiness Is Necessary
Apostle Jude: Today, the rites of holiness is no longer in the midst of humanity. It is no longer in the midst of the children of God.
The Head: That is true. Many do not keep the rites of holiness.
They are no longer serious with it.
Apostle Jude: Son of man, will that prevent the holy ones from coming into their midst?
The Head: No, it shall not. But humanity shall be falling backward more and more.
Apostle Jude: Shall it prevent the Holy Spirit from standing in their midst?
The Head: The Holy Spirit is able to stand, but it is better for the children of God to keep the rites of holiness, so that they shall be as radiant as the Holy Spirit. If they do not keep the rites of holiness, when the Holy Spirit stands in their midst, they shall be falling backward more and more, diminishing in brightness like a quenching fire. And if they do not keep the rites of holiness, when the Holy Spirit goes, they shall be in utter darkness, even so without any help and without any hope.
Apostle Jude: Ourselves are cancelling all the evil spirits that make people not to keep the rites of holiness. Son of man, as the power of the Holy Spirit is radiant unto all the ends of the earth, even so all the unholy spirits, all the unclean spirit are quenched.
God Blessed
And Hallowed The Sabbath
Apostle Jude: Son of man, the removal of all the unclean spirits is necessary because today is the Sabbath Day.
Is it true?
The Head: It is true.
Apostle Jude: Today is a day that God has hallowed. It does not mean that God did not sanctify all the other six days.
The Head: That is true, but there is one day that is different and special, the Sabbath Day.
Apostle Jude: Do humanity ask themselves why is today, the Sabbath Day, holy?
Why is today different?
The Sabbath Day.
The Head: Many do not ask. Instead, they are only looking for reasons, which to give, in order not to keep the Sabbath Day holy.
Apostle Jude: Humanity read from the Holy Book that God blessed the Sabbath Day and hallowed it.
The Head: Yes.
Apostle Jude: Why were the words, blessed and hallowed, used?
The Head: It is because the Sabbath Day is the key to blessings, favours, success and prosperity.
Various Meanings Of Blessing
Apostle Jude: And the word, hallowed?
The Head: It is because God is holy, and themselves have to be holy, so that they can receive the blessings of the Sabbath. The Sabbath has processes and procedures. It is not what is done anytime, anyhow and anywhere [not by founding various types of religions, churches, ministries and fellowships].
Apostle Jude: Son of man, humanity do not know why God said that Himself blessed the Sabbath Day and hallowed it.
The Head: That is true. They do not know.
Apostle Jude: Blessed, son of man, blessed, blessed and blessed, is only one. Blessings come from the hands of God. Blessing means hope, progress.
The Head: It means good things, wellbeing, getting good things free, which people call luck; open door which is prosperity, favours,
Apostle Jude: There is no human being who is able to bless, expect God.
Is it true or false?
The Head: It is true.
Apostle Jude: Anything that comes from the hands of God into the hands of somebody, it is a blessing. And that thing should be hallowed, because it is holy.
The Head: Yes.
Apostle Jude: Tell humanity, blessing is not prosperity only. Blessing includes good things and holiness, living a holy life. It is not a must that ourselves say that something is holy, before humanity should know that what comes from God is holy.
Every child given by God is a holy child.
Is it true or false?
The Head: It is true.
Apostle Jude: Every word that comes out of the mouth of God is holy. That is what myself is explaining whether God opens ways for them, and blesses them with riches and wealth.
Riches and wealth are things made holy.
Is it true?
The Head: It is true.
Apostle Jude: This is because defilements and pollution are not there. But it is humanity that defiles themselves, and are defiling all things.
Favour.
Which favour?
The Head: It is favour from the throne of God, and which moves from the hands of various people to reach somebody’s hands.
Apostle Jude: Yourself answered very well.
Should it be kept holy?
The Head: It is first holy, and humanity should accept it with holiness and use it in holiness.
Apostle Jude: Anointing, by which God blesses many people, is it holy?
The Head: Yes, it is holy.
Apostle Jude: What of stars and destinies?
The Head: All of them are sanctified as holy.
Apostle Jude: Son of man, then why it is that when it comes to God’s own, people do not value and use holiness?
The Holy Book said, “And the Lord blessed the Sabbath Day and hallowed it.”?
The conscience of humanity does not reach, does not understand, that the various blessings which they receive from the hands of God come on the Sabbath Day. Various talents become radiant. That is the meaning of the word, blessed.
The Head: Thanks be to God.
Apostle Jude: Various answers to prayers and deliverances come on the Sabbath Day.
The Head: Yes.
Why God
Hallowed The Sabbath Day
Apostle Jude: Humanity are looking for miracles. But God has given them miracle, and aid to them, “Keep the Sabbath Day holy.” But humanity do not know the reason and benefits of the Sabbath.
The Head: Yes, because they were not taught, and because many do not want to know.
Apostle Jude: And the Lord hallowed it?
The Head: Yes.
Apostle Jude: What is hallowed?
What is holy shall be handled with a holy hand, in receiving it and in using it. That is blessed, both spiritually and physically.
Apostle Jude: The word, hallowed, means what is most important. For God does not [play] with the Sabbath.
The Head: And that is why it is in all the festivals of God, as the High Day Sabbath.
Apostle Jude: All the festivals, it is in all the festivals.
Is it true or false?
The Head: It is true.
Apostle Jude: The Sabbath Day is important and it is the most important. That is why that word, hallowed, was used (eji tinye ya).
Why The Sabbath Is Very Important
The
Head:
1. The Sabbath is the key to long life. God wants His people to keep the Sabbath, so that they shall have long life.
2. It is a day for you to rest. By resting, you renew your health, renew your strength and renew your life.
3. Rest is good for your health.
4. The Sabbath Day is the day God comes down from heaven, as a king and as a Father, to share out blessings to His numerous children and Saints. It is only those people who are present in the Temple on the Sabbath Day that get the blessings.
5. Therefore, the Sabbath is the key to your blessings, favours, success and prosperity.
6. Your success and prosperity in life does not depend on your labour and over labour. That is why the Holy Book says, it is not by power nor by might, but by the Holy Spirit.
7. It is day of convocation, because all the creation gather in the presence of God on the Sabbath Day, during the offering of sacrifice.
8. The Sabbath Day is the day the Hosts of Angels survey your houses and residences, your families and gardens, your workplaces or schools, your business shops and plans, to bless and prosper your efforts.
9. These Angels and Archangels move with great power and glory, which can knock down somebody, make a person blind, cause imbalance in the forms of diThe Head: iness and fainting, etc. That is why the children of God must stay off the road on the Sabbath Day. The fact that people are not falling down on the Sabbath is not an excuses for breaking the Sabbath Day, because the merciless Angels with merciless sword chain Sabbath breakers, offenders, inside the hell fire, even so without their knowing it.
10. It is on the Sabbath Day, God’s appointed times and the Seven Annual Festivals Of God attended by Jesus Christ, that the Angels give the mark of salvation to the children of God, who attend the Sabbath.
11. While the Angels of death and destruction give the mark of destruction to all those who refuse or fail to keep the Sabbath Day holy.
12. The Sabbath is a sign of the people of God, and it is a sign between God and His people, by which sign you know God’s people.
13. Obedience is the easiest and quickest way to blessings, favours, success and prosperity.
14. Humanity do not know how the world was created. They do not know what materials were used to create the world. They do not know how best to live in the world, and they do not know how to utilize all the things in the world. That is why humanity should obey God and keep the Sabbath Day holy for their own wellbeing.
15. Humanity are like sojourners in a foreign land, of which they do not know the culture, customs and traditions. They are like students inside an examination hall, taking examinations, in a course which they have not studied, without knowing the questions. They do not even understand the questions and do not know the answers. It is only those who abide in Paths Of Righteousness and Covenant System Of Worship that do the right things and pass the examination.
16. Many shall regret their lifestyles at last, because the world is being used to separate those who want to become Saints from those who want to become evil spirits and demons.
17. Many shall spend their eternity in sorrows and regrets. This is because, if a student cannot answer a thousand questions in one day, he cannot answer the same in a minute. The world is now in the last minute, because the end time has gone and the end of the end time has also gone. A new age has started, and many have being caught unawares. What time remains is like a minute compared to a thousand years. Yet humanity do not know this fact.
18. If you break a Sabbath Day, you pay for it with another Sabbath Day. This means that, if you break the Sabbath a thousand times, and you later repent. When you start keeping the Sabbath Day after you have repented, you have to first fill the missing gap. By then, if you keep the Sabbath a thousand and one (1001) times. That means that you have kept the Sabbath only a thousand and one minus a thousand which is once only. [1001 – 1000 = 1]. It is like a foolish man digging an unnecessary gully, when he should be building upwards. Later, he has to spend time, energy and resources to fill up the gully, before he starts to build upwards.
19. Etc.
Apostle Jude: Son of man, that is why ourselves, the Twelve Apostles, call the Sabbath something important. The Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven call it something important. And God the Father, the FirstSon and the Holy Spirit call it something important.

The Head: They engage in various worldly activities – businesses, works, ceremonies, wedding, burial, funeral, noise making, parties, even quarrels, rebukes, fighting, etc. And that is why humanity are falling down in all the roads – dying untimely deaths, failing, suffering or having sicknesses, in various ways and in various places.

But God sees the Sabbath as something important.
Humanity do not see the blessings in the Sabbath, but God sees the blessings.

Even the fallen angels are not allowed to break the Sabbath.
They do not break the laws on the Sabbath Day.
The
Sabbath Is Freedom

On the Sabbath Day:
There is no blame.
There is no sin remembered against the children of God.
Even so, none by your Guardian Angels.
And none by the fallen angels.
Nobody accuses you or blames you on the Sabbath Day.
This is because all the things which God created are at peace on every Sabbath Day. All the created things, both in heaven and on earth, rest, both spiritually and physically.
Disobedient
Humanity
Apostle Jude: It is only in this world that people break the Sabbath.
It is not like that in many other various worlds in existence.

Before
The Time Of The Israelites
Apostle Jude: Do humanity think that it was the day God told Holy Moses to tell the Israelites to keep the Sabbath that the Sabbath Day started?
The Head: Humanity, many people, think that Sabbath Day started on that day. Some even say that it was Holy Moses that introduced the Sabbath.
From
Everlasting To Everlasting
The Head: But the people, who know the truth, know that the Sabbath was in existence before the time of the Israelites and shall continue to last forever.
Apostle Jude: Before humanity started to manifest here on earth, the earth was keeping the Sabbath.
If the people living here in this holy land, called the DivineBase City, are not keeping the Sabbath, let humanity know that this land is keeping the Sabbath Day holy.
The
Worst Offenders
Apostle Jude: Son of man, does it mean that humanity do not read it from the Holy Book?

The presidents and governors.
The kings and their cabinets.

All the people in the leadership positions
and their citizens and followers.
The celebrities and their numerous fans.
The major and minor companies, and their workers.

because many people join them in breaking Sabbath.

But such does not happen on the Sabbath Day.
The accuser does not accuse them on the Sabbath day.
More
Consequences Of Breaking The Sabbath
Apostle Jude: What does God usually tell the Israelites, when He rebukes them?
The Head: One, the Israelites have to keep the Sabbath as ordered in sequence, according to the laws of the Covenant System Of Worship.
Hmmm?
Two, if they refuse to do so, the sword, famine, hardship, devastations and destruction shall follow them, afflict them.
Apostle Jude: Also, God told them that if they refuse to keep the Sabbath, the land in which they live shall vomit them. This is because the land wants to keep the Sabbath day. And God warns them that He will scatter them unto all the ends of the earth, by slavery and captivity, so that the land shall keep the Sabbath.
The Head: That is true. That is how God wrote it in the Holy Book.
Universal
Sabbath
Apostle Jude: Son of man, that is what we are telling humanity.
Do they know that this world which, word surrounds them, keeps the Sabbath?
The Head: Humanity do not know.
Apostle Jude: Do they know that their Guardian Angels keep the Sabbath?
The Head: Humanity do not know, but they should know.
Apostle Jude: Do they know that the animals, trees, plants, herbs and grasses keep the Sabbath?
Because these creatures know about the Sabbath.
The Head: People do not know, but the animals and vegetation keep the Sabbath. Majority of the teeming world populations of humanity are ignorant of the Sabbath and its laws.
Worldwide
Disobedience
Apostle Jude: Son of man, when ourselves came down today, we saw many hindrances, all over the world, especially among the children of God.
The Head: That is true.
Apostle Jude: And in the midst of the ministers of God.
The Head: Yes.
Individual
Responsibility
Apostle Jude: The way shall be opened for the light of the Holy Spirit to shine forth.
The Head: Amen!
Apostle Jude: But we are telling them, ourselves shall do what we should do, and themselves should do what they should do. Son of man, it is not ourselves that shall keep the Sabbath for humanity.
The Head: Yes.
Apostle Jude: The Sabbath is not a battle, which a mother will fight for her child.
The Head: Yes.
Apostle Jude: Everybody shall keep the Sabbath on his own behalf.
Why Humanity
Are Suffering
Apostle Jude: Tell humanity, as they are breaking the Sabbath from day to day, themselves are answering questions from day to day – they are suffering the consequences, which includes hardships, sufferings, sicknesses, failures, disappointments, even natural disasters, man-made calamities and strange incidents, in the forms of uncontrollable crisis, recurrent agitations, massive floods, relentless wildfires, tempestuous earthquakes, merciless tornadoes, far-reaching volcanoes, devastating wars, unimaginable diseases, widespread infections, deadly pollutions, ghastly accidents, defying emergencies, embarrassing abnormalities, in various strange forms that are unexpected. Even so without people knowing it.
The Head: Humanity do not know all these things, but the message shall be made to reach their hands, to spread all over the world.
Apostle Jude: Themselves do not know that from day to day, they answer questions. They shall not go free before the throne of God, because God does not use the Sabbath to laugh. He pulls the ear, warns, from day to day, against breaking the Sabbath.
God says to humanity, “Remember the Sabbath day, to
keep it holy. Six days you shall labour and do all your work, but the seventh
day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter,
nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your
stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens
and the earth, the sea, and all that are in them, and rested the seventh day.
Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.”
Without
Excuses
Apostle Jude: What excuse do humanity have to give for breaking the Sabbath?
The Head: There is none.
Apostle Jude: Will they say that they were not given enough time?
Will they say that they were not given allowance?
The Head: They have being given all the things they need to keep the Sabbath, even so in abundance.
Universal
Necessity
The Head: In every community, in every city, school or dwelling, where people live, they contribute to the welfare of the place, by doing one thing or the other. The Sabbath is man’s contribution to the general wellbeing of creation. Keeping the Sabbath is a necessity, because failure to do so causes many problems in the future, both spiritually and physically. Just as the failure to clear the waterways causes floodings, erosions, devastations and destructions in the future.
Other
Consequences
Apostle Jude: Tell them, they answer the question for breaking the Sabbath, but themselves do not know this. And tell them this world in which they live is asking them questions. Meaning that the failure to keep the Sabbath is one of the reasons why humanity are having increasing number of recurrent and persistent problems in life – it is the reason why the world is getting weaker and weaker at a very fast rate; the reason why nature is failing humanity and afflicting people in many various ways.
Why The Land Vomits People
Apostle Jude: Does it mean that the earth is not keeping the Sabbath?
Why do humanity in it not keep the Sabbath?
Hmmm? Hmmm?
The Head: Even those who keep the Sabbath do so in disobedience, without abiding in the laws of the Sabbath, and majority do not know that the Sabbath is very important, both good and compulsory.
Apostle Jude: Son of man, do humanity not know that this world is like a pregnant woman who is carrying a baby in her womb?
The Head: Yes.
Apostle Jude: And whatever the woman does the child also does the same.
The Head: Yes.
Apostle Jude: If the woman travels from here to America, the child follows her.
The Head: Yes.
Apostle Jude: What if the woman is sleeping, resting?
The Head: The child does the same.
Apostle Jude: If the woman is stressed up, the child is also stressed up.
And if the woman is worried?
The Head: It is the same with the child.
The Head: Son of man, then how can this world keep the Sabbath Day, but the people inside it do not?
Is that fitting?
The Head: No, it is not fitting.
Apostle Jude: Have you seen that humanity are neither hot nor cold?
The Head: Yes.
Apostle Jude: They shall be vomited out. That is why ourselves say that humanity do not know what they are doing.
The Head: The land vomits people by killing them in various ways, through natural disasters, man-made calamities and strange incidents.
Humanity
Are Breaking Every Sabbath
Apostle Jude: Son of man, all the people who did not attend the Sabbath today, some of them are at various places breaking the Sabbath, all over the world.
The Head: That is true. Some of them are at their various homes doing various things that should not be done on the Sabbath Day.
Apostle Jude: Some are in various places, speaking various words, engaging in conversations, speeches that should not be done on the Sabbath Day. Some are making arguments. Some are busy going up and down, moving about and visiting different places.
Son of man, some are doing various business plans, agendas, including what they shall do next week, but see the Sabbath Day of God.
Where are they?
The Head: They are not in the Temple of God.
Why People
Should Attend Sabbath Prayers And Worship
Apostle Jude: Humanity do not know that it is on this Sabbath Day that they should compose themselves very well, for the next day being the Firstday, and for the next week.
The Head: That is true. Even so they supposed to be in the Temple, and know what they should do tomorrow, in the future.
Today, they supposed to be doing quiet time and meditation.
Is it true or false?
The Head: It is true.
Apostle Jude: What God is now saying to the world, how many people have received the message?
The Head: None, except very few people.
Apostle Jude: How many people know about it?
How many people receive the teachings, various corrections for the world, which are numerous?
How many people know about the messages and corrections?
Son of man, that is why ourselves came in today. Ourselves know that there are many different works, which different Angels should come in to do.
The Head: The Twelve Apostles came in today, unexpectedly and suddenly.
Apostle Jude: It is important to us that ourselves shall come, because the Sabbath is most important.
Authorization
Apostle Jude: You have to spread this message for humanity to know.
From
Generations To Generations
Apostle Jude: Some of the children of God need constant training, remembrance, reminder, because there are many people whom, if you say a word to them once, they forget about it.
The Head: That is true.
Apostle Jude: But as yourself is telling them from time to time, it enters their mind. As yourself is telling them, it becomes part of their bodies, habit.
Ourselves shall be saying this from time to time, because we shall not be teaching the congregation only, because of the people coming in the future, and for the new generations to come. And they shall teach their children and children's children.
Endless
Apostle Jude: The Sabbath is endless, from the beginning to the end.
Conclusion
Apostle Jude: Son of man, myself will conclude here (ga achịkọ).
