Part One

In Genesis 1:1, the bible says "in the

beginning God created the heaven and

the earth". But have you asked

yourself, what happened before the

beginning? If we would add Genesis

1:0 to the bible then the verse wouldsay "before the beginning was, God is".

God was there before the beginning.

This means, God must have carefully

planned creation from the beginning tothe end even before he began the

creation process. God had an idea of


4/66

what to do when the earth was withoutform and void, God knew that light

would be the solution. God knew where

the fishes, animals and plants would be

created from, He also knew that eventhough man would be created from

dust, man must live like Him, so He

breath life into man to differentiate

man from every other creature. From

that singular act, I understand that I

carry a part of God inside of me. Please

understand me, God didn't breathe life

into animals and yet they are living.

The life that God breathe into man is

His kind of life, His Spirit. That's why

Adam lived for 930 years even after hisdisobedience against God; God's


5/66

personality was resident inside of him.That's why Adam could name all the

animals and creatures even without

going to school. Man was supernatural,

he knew all things! The reason why

Jesus came is to restore this glory to

man. So I'd like to encourage you

today, you're in God's plan; none of

God's creation exists by chance, no!

They exist for a change! It doesn't

matter how you came into this world,

God has a plan for you. The devil does

not give children, children are heritage

from God. The way you came into the

world might not be pleasing to God but


6/66

what matters to God is the fact thatyou came and He has a plan for you.

Come to think of it, if God didn't want

you in this world He wouldn't have

allowed your conception! Rememberthat no one is good for nothing,

everyone is good for something, you

only need to stay FOCUS! May God give

us understanding!

Part Two

The potentials of a thing are related to

its source. "Myles Munroe"

A product can only produce based on

the demand its manufacturer had

placed on it. A car will never run at a

speed of 200km until its manufacturerdesigns it to do so. The capacity of a

product is based on the features loaded

into it. When God wanted to create

plants and animal, He spoke to the

ground, that's why every plant needs

soil to grow. No product would exist


8/66

without its source. Animals feed onother animals while some feed on

plants, because they are all made up of

sand. When plants and animals die,

they return back to the ground. Also,when God needed to create fishes, He

spoke to the water; no aquatic creature

would survive outside water. When God

needed to create man, He spoke to

Himself "let us make man in our own

image - Gen 1:27". And God is a Spirit,

that also qualifies man to be a Spirit,

and that also means man cannot

actualize his potentials without God

because every product must rely on its

source for proper functionality. Man isnot a body and soul, man is a Spirit


9/66

that possesses a soul and lives in abody. A plant without soil is dead

already, so also is a man without God!

You cannot know your actual capacity

until you know your source. I didn't

know I could write, sing and teach until

three years ago when I gave my life to

Christ. Helen Keller was deaf and blind

at the same time, and because of that

she couldn't speak. But today she's is a

world known writer, this is possible

because man should not depend on the

disability of his body to maximize his

God given potentials, man is not a

body, man is a Spirit. Your body was


10/66


11/66

Part Three

No one can fix the parts of a product

like the products manufacturer -

"Emeka Anslem"

When God created the Spirit, soul and

body of man, He called the triune

nature of man "human being". He alsodesigned a manual for man's

functionality; in this manual He

described the potentials or the Spirit,

soul and body of man. Every

manufacturer of a product would

always draw your attention to the


12/66

manual of a product to know itspurpose and full functionality. If you

don't read the manual you'd not know

the full potential of the product. I

believe this is why God had to makethe believers manual available to the

human race. The manual contains all

the possibilities of man and all the

atrocities man should not commit. God

gave Adam this manual when He told

him "eat from any three in the garden

except the forbidden tree". But man

disobeyed God, and became faulty in

operations; he could no longer function

well. Now, instead of man to return to

his Manufacturer for repair through the"warranty seal of forgiveness", man


13/66


14/66

His Son, And that without faith it isimpossible to please God. That further

explains that God functions by faith,

and for man to function like God man

has to function by faith. A man thatfunctions outside faith is

malfunctioning! If God has said in the

manual that "as you think in your heart,

so will you do", He means nothing is

impossible to man as long as he can

think it, but man has to do this by faith!

Remember that God is the source of

man's creations, if the source functions

by faith, the product must also function

by faith. The potential of a product is

related to its source! May God give usunderstanding!

Part Four

"Don't make God look like a liar, youneed to rise up and obey His

commandment" - Emeka Anslem

In Ecclesiastes 12:13, the bible says"let us hear the conclusion of the whole

matter: FEAR GOD, and KEEP HIS

COMMANDMENTS: for this is the whole

duty of man". It's lucid that the word"fear" in that context doesn't mean "to

be afraid" but "to have reverence for".


16/66

Man's duty is to reverence God and doHis commandments, but it appears man

has grossly neglected the "duty" part of

this scripture. It's also lucid that many

people reverence God but do not keepHis commandments. God's

commandments is not just the Ten

Commandments that you're familiar

with, God's commandment is in every

verse of scriptures! For example; the

bible says "we should be fruitful, and

multiply, and replenish the earth... And

have dominion over the earth". There

are very few individuals who are

keeping this commandment! Many

people are not having dominion overthe earth; rather the earth is having


17/66

dominion over them. Cigarettes, harddrugs, alcohol, money and jobs are all

products of the earth, and yet they are

having dominion over many individuals.

It might interest you to know that

fornication is a product of the earth,

because the body of man was made

from the earth, and it's the lust of the

body that leads to fornication. Abraham

was a man that had reverence for God

in every area and he also kept God's

commandments. When God

commanded him to possess a land, he

did accordingly. When God told him it

was time to have a son, he had the


18/66

son. When God told him to be thefather of many nations, he did

accordingly. The same God has told

you to have dominion over the earth!

Listen to this; If you're not havingdominion over those issues of your life

then you're being disobedient! And the

next verse of that scripture says "God

will judge every work". I can imagine

God asking a man why he didn't get a

job when he was alive. Hmm, if you live

by the Ten Commandments alone then

you might never be prosperous. The

Ten Commandments were given to

humanity so that we won't disconnect

from God just like Adam disconnectedfrom God because he disobeyed God's


19/66

commandment. But asides that singularcommandment, God gave Adam many

other commandments that guaranteed

his fruitfulness on the earth; God told

him to work, to eat from any tree

except the forbidden tree, and many

others, and Adam was keeping all the

commandments. Listen to me; if God

has commanded you to be prosperous

then you have no choice than to obey

Him. If God had said "it shall be well

with the righteous, he shall eat from

the fruit of his doing", it means you

can't be jobless for any reason! Don't

make God look like a liar, you need to


20/66

rise up and obey His commandment.Remember! Obedience is better than

sacrifice! May God give us

understanding!


21/66

Part Five

"Everyone is pregnant with something"- Emeka Anslem

Abortion is the ignorance of

responsibility. Abortion is not just whena woman terminates a fetus; it's a

complete denial of obligation. Many

politicians make promises with great

potentials before they get elected intopower, but as soon as they are sworn

in they abort these potentials, thereby


22/66

putting the lives of their followers atrisk. It might interest you to know that

abortion itself is as old as time! God

deposited a potential to rule over the

earth in the first man, and instructedman never to eat from the forbidden

tree else he'd surely die. Death is the

termination of potential, and that's

what the first man did, he aborted the

potentials of many generations and left

humanity to run life at a risk. The

reason why I used the word "risk" is

because the reproductive system could

be destroyed in the cause of the

abortion, and this is why many

individuals are not productive in life.Everyone is pregnant with something,


23/66

Satan stole the first pregnancy, Jesuscame to make up for what the devil

stole, and all you have to do is to give

Him a chance. Because in other to be

pregnant again there has to be a re-

process, and that's why God sent His

Son Jesus to impregnate humanity with

new potentials. But remember, what

you're pregnant with can only be

valued when it has manifested in the

physical, it's therefore not enough to be

pregnant with something but also to do

something to deliver in a grand style.

Let me leave a word for Doctors who

abort lives, "your mother did not abort


24/66

you", if she did you won't be a Doctortoday! May God give us understanding!


25/66

Part Six

"The wrong attitude confuses your

source" - Emeka Anslem

The strength of a thing is dependent on

its source. God spoke to me in a dream

this morning, He said "many individualshave been blessed by Me but they walk

away from the blessing through wrong

attitudes". And I remember that it was

a wrong attitude that separated Lot

from his source of blessing. Lot was

supposed to have internal control


26/66

towards his herdsmen but he wasreluctant, perhaps he was rubbing

shoulders with Abraham, and that's

why he lost it! Listen, you're not

permitted to rub shoulders with yoursource! When you do that you'd rub

your blessing away completely. God is

your source, and He has told you the

conclusion of the whole matter, "fear

Him and keep His commandments". If

you're not reverencing God then you

must have an attitude problem, likewise

if you're not keeping His

commandments then your attitude

needs to be checked! There are many

believers who don't pray, and yet Godhas said they should pray without


27/66

ceasing. There is no pleasure indisobeying God; you only have an

attitude problem. God has reasons for

every commandment He gives to you;

for example, the reason why God said

we should pray without ceasing is so

that He can cease the enemy from

coming to us! It was when Abraham

saw that Lot could not control himself

that he decided to separate Lot from

him, and as soon as Lot separated from

Abraham things started going down. I

pray, things will not go down for you!

But remember, maintain the right

attitude towards your source! God


28/66

didn't stop blessing Abraham until Lotlost control; it was after Abraham

separated himself that God spoke to

him again, so Lots problem was also a

problem to Abraham. In Romans 1:28the bible says "Because those people

refuse to keep in mind the true

knowledge about God, he has given

them over to corrupted minds, so that

they do the things that they should not

do". That was exactly what happened

to Lot, he was given over to corrupted

people because of wrong attitude, and

that was where his downfall began. I

pray again, you will not fall! May God

give us understanding!


29/66


30/66

its beautiful potentials. The plantdepends on the soil because plants

where originally made from the ground.

And everything ever created is always

related to its source. Now, man wasmade from God; God spoke to the

source of everything He created. He

spoke to the ground to produce plants

and animal, He spoke to the gases of

the air to produce all kinds of birds; He

spoke to the waters to produce aquatic

organisms. But when it came to man,

He spoke to Himself saying "let us

make man in our own image", so man

came out of God. And just like the seed

depends on the ground to fulfill destiny,a man must also depend on God to


31/66

fulfill destiny. If the quality of a productdepends on the quality of its source,

then the quality of man should be

dependent on the quality of God. An

healthy soil would produce an healthy

plant, a mighty God would not produce

less than a mighty man. If nothing is

impossible for God then nothing should

be impossible for man. The baby in the

womb can be likened to a seed that is

still within the ground and has not

germinated. The upshot of the seed

towards the surface of the soil can be

likened to the delivery of the baby.

Now the fact that the plant is now


32/66

visible doesn't mean the plant can bedisconnected from the soil, it would dry

off its potentials. The same way, no

man should disconnect from God

otherwise he'd never fulfill hispotentials on earth. You are of more

quality than man rates you. Stand up

and release your inner qualities! May

God give us understanding!


33/66

Part Eight

"The original purpose of a product is

the initial intention of its creator" -

Anslem Emeka

People who see problems never solve

them; people who solve problemsnever see problems as they appear. In

every nation, there are a percentage of

people who work hard, watch hard and

talk hard. In Nigeria, 5 percent work

hard, 15 percent watch hard, while 80

percent talk hard. So we have more of


34/66

people who talk things out than peoplewho work things out. Development

should not be talked or watched out, it

should be worked out! Nigerians abroad

practically deny their country, many ofthem hate to be identified as a

Nigerian, many of them complain about

the happenings in Nigeria. Even back in

Nigeria, almost everyone talks about

the happenings. We need to stop

talking and start working towards the

development we seek! If God created

you a Nigerian and placed you in

America, He didn't make a mistake, He

must have had very good intentions for

that, and His intention is definitely notto complain, because God hates


35/66

complains.

Now let's do some analysis;

If Benjamin Carson denied his black

race, I'm sure he won't be the famous

Benjamin Carson today. I think he was

focused on achieving rather than

defending his nation, where he was

notwithstanding. Achievement naturally

breaths defense. If I become the

president of America tomorrow, I'm

sure all these mediocritic

communications would stop. Nigerians

abroad, did Obama deny his country

before he became a president of


36/66

America? Does it mean his country isnot corrupt? And even more than

Nigeria? God didn't make a mistake

when He made you a Nigerian, wake

up and begin to see reasons ratherthan problems. I believe God wanted

unity between America and Kenya, that

was why He made Obama the

president of the united state of

America.

The moral of this message is; whoever

you are, whatever you are in wherever

you are, God had an intention before

He created you. May God give us

understanding!


37/66

Part Nine

"Every product has an identification

number that links it to its source" -

Emeka Anslem

The idea of a serial number is toidentify a product with its

manufacturer. And its important to let

you know that "God started the identity

process". The bible says and Iparaphrase "for whoever God created,

He did fore know, He also predestined


38/66

and called". In that context, theword "foreknow" means "God's

intention before He created you", the

word "predestined" means "your

purpose or destiny", while the word"called" means "your identity". After a

product is purchased, the next step is

to register it with its serial number so

that its manufacturer can identify with

it and send possible updates or

troubleshooting skills. If you refuse to

register the product, the manufacturer

would not recognize that the product is

in use and therefore would not send

any update or help kits to you. The

same way, every believer has toregister with God Whom is their


39/66

manufacturer. Man had an automatedregistration process, but the devil came

and stole the generation of man, and

man began to operate without

registration. But Jesus came as a new

Manager of man; He came with His

sweet and mighty word to retrieve

these stolen products. Jesus created a

new platform for the registration of

man, and that is salvation. The day you

give your life to Christ is the same day

you register with God. Many people

have neglected this fact, they feel they

can operate without due registration.

You can't pretend to be registered;


40/66

once you're not in God's database thenyou're not there. A product that is not

registered would run in a trial period

and afterwards expire. The reason why

many individuals cannot achieve theirfull potential is because they are living

a life of trials and error. They've not

been activated to function properly.

Every product has a procedure to

register; God had also designed a

procedure for the registration of man.

All a man has to do is to receive Jesus

as their Lord and Savior according to

Romans chapter 10, and he'd receive

an acknowledgment from God that he


41/66

has been registered. May God give usunderstanding!


42/66


43/66

about God; man didn't need to pray toGod because God comes down in the

cool of the day to talk to man. Man

didn't need to fast; man was living a

supernatural life naturally. Man knew

everything by the Spirit of God. But

when man disobeyed God, his Spirit

could no longer connect to God, as a

result he had a dormant spirit. And for

that reason his soul began to seek for

knowledge. As a born again, going to

church is very vital because you need

to re-learn what you've lost to the

devil. Don't get me wrong, man can still

communicate with God like he used to,


44/66


45/66

sinner, He said His people. So thereason why many believers are

perishing is because they lack adequate

knowledge about their Creator. Your

greatest investment would be your

thorough engagement in knowing God!

A church should be a practical school

that teaches you how to come out of

relative situations.

The moral of this message is; we all

belong to The Church Of Christ where

Jesus is the Head. But as part of God'sexpansion plan, He divided The Church

into subsets or segments, that's why


46/66

we now have different denominationsand congregations that are formally

called churches, and every believer

must be identified with one. But the

main goal of a congregation should beto build their knowledge of God and

work in it. May God give us

understanding!


47/66


48/66


49/66

inception of man. But one beautifulthing about God is that; He will tell you

that evil exists, and He will also tell you

the price to pay when you engage in it.

It's just like the manufacturer of a car

telling you those oceans of water exist,

but a car was not designed to drive on

it, and if you rebel the car will be

damaged. Evil is the outcome of

disobedience against God. God told

Adam to eat from any tree in the

garden except the fruits from the

forbidden tree, that if he eats from it

he'd surely die. In other words, "do not

disobey me because if you do, you'd be


50/66

exposed to the wyles of satan".

Secondly, God loves man, and He also

wants man to love Him, reverence Him

and give Him glory. Man would have noreason to love, reverence or give God

glory if man was created without a

choice. Man would be like a toy that

can be controlled by a remote, that's

not what God wants. I've heard

testimonies of individuals that were

involved in fatal accidents and yet

nothing happened to them. By that act

they'd know that there is a God that

loves them, and that would also boost

their love for God. I've heard of thedead being raised back to life, I've


51/66

heard of people being delivered fromterminal diseases. Recently I saw a lady

that came to testify of God's goodness;

she had cancer, and according to her

the Doctor said she should go home

and die. But instead she went to church

to seek God's face, and she was

delivered! If Adam had repented and

asked God to forgive him, I'm sure God

would have restored him. But he didn't

go to God to restore him rather he

went to an unauthorized dealer to fix

his problems. A car was not designed

to ride on water; if it does enter water

then it would sink. And the car cannot


52/66


53/66

Part Twelve

"If your heart is not involved, then the

promises would not become" - Emeka

Anslem

I've heard Christians that complain

about the attitude of other Christians.Many of them even judge believers for

their actions. Many of them think the

Bible has been compromised because

according to them "the bible doesn't

meet their needs". Each time I hear

people talk in that manner, I'd always


54/66

say that their understanding isunfruitful. Because if you're wise

enough to know that another Christian

is doing wrong then you should be able

to approach this Christian and reprovehim. Somebody has complained that

some churches preach only prosperity.

Well if they do, that's probably the

mandate God gave to the Pastor. I was

in a very long argument last night, the

people I was arguing with are

Christians but they've began to see

things differently because of the recent

challenge they went through. They

made a lot of unscriptural arguments

and I want to share some with you.


55/66

First, they told me they've beenworking for a church for years and their

life has not changed. And then I asked

them "were you working or serving in

the church?", and from their arguments

they were serving in one of the service

groups of the church. And then I told

them; "serving in the church doesn't

mean youre working in the church. You

are working for God, and so you should

focus on God for your rewards".

Secondly, they said "the church has

built three schools, and they've not

benefited from these schools, as a


56/66

matter of fact they are not graduates".Over 5,000 people followed Jesus, but

the bible didn't record that He gave

them businesses, houses, except food

and the word of God. He had thecapacity to provide all those things, but

that was not His purpose on earth. If

he does that, the people won't follow

Him because of the word but because

of the supplies. If the church gives

everyone scholarship then it won't be

long before the school and church

crashes, because people would come to

church because of what they can get.

Third, they said "they've read all thebooks that their pastor wrote and yet


57/66

no changes". I believe the secrets of aman are in their story, and these

stories are usually translated into books

so that others can benefit from it.

Moreover, Paul planted, Apollo watered

but it is God that gives the increase.

Don't just read a book because you like

the title, read them because they can

tackle your current need.

And lastly, they said "the Holy Spirit

does not exist, that no one is filled with

the Holy Spirit". They said "people whoare filled with the Holy Spirit are people

who will see a dead man and raise him


58/66

back to life; they are people who willsee a mad man and recover him". If I

were a baby Christian I would have

given up faith by that statement. That

statement made me to understand thatthey have been serving God with their

soul and body. God is a Spirit; they that

worship Him must worship Him in truth

and in Spirit. Moreover, the gifts of the

Spirit are diverse!

The moral of this message is; God is

too faithful to fail, it is man that fails.Distributing fliers, preaching,

evangelism and most of these activities

are bodily exercise. And the bible has

warned that bodily exercise profitslittle, but spirituality is profitable unto


59/66


60/66

Part Thirteen

"The source of a thing determines it's

potential" - Emeka Anslem

Man without The Spirit of God is not

different from an animal. Because

animals were created from dirt or theground, while the body and soul of man

was also created from the ground.

Hey, the soul of man was created from

the ground?

Yes! The soul of man is the intellectual

and emotional part of man that helpsthe man to react or respond to


61/66

happenings in the world. The soul ofman can only act based on what it has

learnt or read. The soul doesn't have

the capacity to bring new innovations,

it can't think of new things, it can't

imagine things that do not exist, and it

is difficult to release your potentials

without your soul because all that it can

do or think is all that it has learnt. The

reason why I said the soul was made

from the ground is because animals

were also made from the ground, they

also have the intellect and emotion to

reason and to feel, and yet God did not


62/66

breathe in them. In other words, everyanimal has a soul.

Now, man is a triune being, he has a

spirit, a soul and a body. But the spirit

of man is dormant without a connection

to its source, which is God. The spirit of

man cannot function the way it should

without its source. Man's spirit wasmade out of nothing, but his body and

soul was created out a raw material

called "dirt". The reason why I said

man's spirit was made out of nothing isbecause the spirit of man was made

out of God, and God is not a physical

being, He is a Spirit. So man's spirit

was made out of what cannot be seen.The law of creation states that "the


63/66

fulfilling of the potential of a thing isrelated to its source". No matter how

beautiful a plant is, it would die as soon

as it's disconnected from the soil. God

told Adam not to disconnect from Him

otherwise he'd die. The plant can no

longer fulfill its potentials once it has

disconnected from the soil, the spirit of

man can no longer fulfill its potential

once it has disconnected from God.

The spirit of man without the Spirit of

God is an empty spirit. And the bible

says that "if a man be cleansed, and

the demon which possessed the man


64/66

returns and finds him empty, thedemon would multiply and occupy the

man so that his present state would be

worse than the initial one". Wow! When

the Spirit of God is absent from man,demons take over man's Spirit to

commit all kinds of atrocities. Your

body and soul would therefore be used

to fulfill the devil's potential instead of

God's omnipotence.

The reason why God put His Spirit into

man is because He wants to continueHis omnipotence with man. He wants

man to continue His mighty works on

the earth. The bible says the Spirit of

God bares witness with our spirit; thismeans the Holy Spirit needs to witness


65/66

God's creative agenda to man's spirit.Man's spirit cannot be creative on its

own; it needs the Spirit of God! Man's

spirit without God's Spirit is a

destructive spirit!

The moral of this message is; you

might think you're very creative

because you've been able to scalecertain heights in life. If you connect

properly to God, you'd yet scale greater

heights! May God give us

understanding!
