DISOBEDIENCE, ITS CONSEQUENCES AND THE MERCY OF GOD.

ACTS 10:1-19
CORNELUS WAS A GENTILE WHO LOVED AND WORSHIPPED GOD; HE WAS NOT A JEW. GOD SENT AN ANGEL TO HIM, TO TELL HIM TO SEND FOR PETER. AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME THE MEN HE SENT ARRIVED PETER'S GATE, GOD GAVE PETER A VISION OF ANIMALS THAT THE JEWS REGARDED AS UNCLEAN ACCORDING TO THEIR TRADITION. THE VOICE FROM HEAVEN SAID "RISE EAT", BUT PETER PROTESTED THAT THEY WERE UNCLEAN. THE VOICE BACK WITH COMMANDING WORDS AND SAID "WHAT GOD HAS CLEANED, YOU MUST NOT CALL UNCLEAN. THE VISION CAME THREE TIMES BEFORE THE MEN CORNELLUS SENT ARRIVED HIS GATE.
POINTS TO NOYE
CORNELUS WAS A GENTILE, AN OUTCASTE (OSU) ACCORDING TO THE JEWISH TRADITION. BUT GOD MADE PETER GO TO HIM AND NOT HIM COMING TO PETER. IT SHOWS THAT IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS IGBO FREEBORNS, AND AS CHRISTIANS TO TAKE THE GOSPEL TO THEM AND SET OUR CAPTIVES FREE. BUT WE CHOSE TO LIVE IN DISOBEDIENCE BY REFERRING TO THEM AS UNCLEAN AND UNTOUCHABLES.

--IT WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT THAT THE VISION CAME THREE TIMES AND THREE GENTILES CAME. SOME WOULD HAVE ARGUED TODAY THAT THE DEATH OF JESUS DID NOT GIVE ALL MAN FREEDOM IF THE VISION CAME ONCE OR TWICE. THREE VISIONS FOR THREE GENTILES MEANS THE WORK ON THE CROSS WAS COMPLETED. GOD IS PERFECT

--CHRIST HAD DIED AND RESURRECTED BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. BY HIS COMING AND DEATH JESUS OFFERED THE FINAL SACRIFICE AND THE BARRIER AGAINST THE GENTILES WAS LIFTED. THE GENTILES HERE INCLUDES THE IGBO FREE BORNS, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT JEWS. THOUGH SOME IGBO CLAIM THAT WE ARE OF THE JEWISH DESCENDANTS BUT GOD HAS COMMANDED YOU AND I NOT TO CALL ANYTHING HE CREATED UNCLEAN.

SOME CATHOLICS CLAIM THAT PETER IS THE FIRST ROMAN CATHOLIC POPE. IF THIS IS TRUE.... GOD GAVE YOUR FIRST POPE A VISION THAT YOU MUST NOT CALL WHAT HE CLEANED UNCLEAN, YET YOU DISOBEY.
2PT 1:21 SAYS, THE PROPHETS DID NOT THINK THESE THINGS UPON THEIR OWN BUT THEY WERE GUIDED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD.
WHAT AND/OR WHO ELSE DO YOU WANT TO SEE OR HEAR BEFORE YOU OBEY GOD'S COMMAND!?

KINGDOMS AND NATIONS HAVE EXISTED BUT THE DISOBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF GOD DESTROYED AND BROUGHT THEM DOWN.
IN 2CHR 33, KING MANASSEH THE SON OF HEZEKIAH BUILT ALTAR AND CARVED IMAGES TO BE WORSHIPPED IN THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD., WHERE GOD SAID "IN THE TEMPLE OF JERUSALEM, IS THE CITY IN JUDAH----HE HAS CHOSEN FOR NAME TO REMAIN FOREVER.
WE ALL KNOW AS CHRISTIANS THAT OUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF GOD. WHERE HE HAS CHOSEN FOR HIMSELF TO REMAIN FOR FOREVER THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT WHOM WE HAVE RECEIVED FROM HIM. 1COR6:19.
THE HOLY SPIRIT CANNOT DWELL IN A BODY THAT DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THE FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST. COS ONE PRECEDES THE OTHER.
GOD SPOKE TO MANASSEH AND HIS PEOPLE BUT HE DIDN'T LISTEN. SO THE LORD BROUGHT THE ASSYRIAN ARMY AGAINST HIM AND THEY BOUND HIM WITH BRONZE SHACKLES AND TOOK HIM AWAY TO BABYLON.
GOD IS SPEAKING TO YOU, TO US AND TO THE IGBO NATION/TRIBE TODAY. HE IS SAYING, YOU MUST NOT CALL WHAT I JEHOVAH HAS CLEANED THROUGH THE DEATH OF MY SON ON THE CROSS UNCLEAN. STOP OSU AND OHU CASTE PRACTICE IN IGBOLAND.

AGAIN IN NUM 20:8
GOD COMMENDED MOSES TO SPEAK TO THE ROCK BEFORE THE ISRAELITES TO POUR WATER FOR THE PEOPLE TO DRINK, BUT MOSES CHOSE TO STRIKE THE ROCK.
GOD WAS DISPLEASED AND SAID TO MOSES, "BECAUSE YOU DID NOT TRUST ME ENOUGH TO HONOUR ME AS HOLY IN THE SIGHT OF THE PEOPLE, YOU WILL NOT BRING THEM INTO THE PROMISED LAND.
GOD IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER MORE!. MOSES WAS PUNISHED FOR DISOBEYING GOD.
GOD HAS COMMANDED US SAYING, YOU MUST NOT CALL WHAT I HAVE CLEANED UNCLEAN, YET WE DISOBEY BY PRACTICING OSU AND OHU CASTE SYSTEM IN IGBOLAND.

CONCLUSION

YOU CRUCIFY CHRIST OVER AND OVER AGAIN EACH TIME YOU DISCRIMINATE, STIGMATIZE, REJECT AND CALL THE ONES WE TAGGED OSU AND OHU UNCLEAN.
NO COMMUNITY LEADER, KING, FRIEND, BROTHER, NOT EVEN THE DEITY WILL APPEAR BEFORE THE JUDGEMENT THRONE WITH YOU.
THE SIN OF DISOBEDIENCE, PRIDE AND MISREPRESENTATION OF THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST WILL STOP YOU FROM ENTERING INTO ETERNAL LIFE WITH CHRIST AS GOD HAS PROMISED US. THOUGH YOU MAY HAVE GAINED THE WHOLE WORLD AS AN IGBO FREE BORN, KNIGHT, CHRISTIAN MOTHER, PASTOR, WORKER, KING, COMMUNITY LEADER, BUT LOSE YOUR SOUL IN HELL.
GOD IS MERCIFUL AND SO COMPASSIONATE. IT HAS NEVER BEEN HIS WILL FOR YOU AND I TO PERISH. . THERE'S ALWAYS A WARNING AND PLEADING FROM GOD BEFORE HE VENTS HIS ANGER.
REMEMBER THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS A NATION AND SIN IS A REPROACH . WE ARE LIKE SLAVES IN OUR OWN COUNTRY .
LETS REPENT BY OBEYING GOD.
OSU AND OHU CASTE PRACTICE IS A SIN AGAINST GOD AND HUMANITY.
MAY GOD DELIVER US, AMEN

My beautiful igbos and biafra nation. I believe in viagra and I also believe in the togetherness of the igbos. That's why I have brought the issues of an ancient and evil practice called Osu caste practice to our table. Some of us want restructure and others say biafra it's a clear indication that an igbo man is no longer happy in Nigeria.
We shout equity, equality, justice, etc we say that we are marginalised. Yet we say no to our own brothers freedom . We discriminate against them. And call them unclean just like the northern S call us uncles. Let's put our house in order. He that goes to equity must go with clean hands. Our fathers did what they thought was best for us in their days of ignorance, let's not continue in that line.
Leprosy was once a curse from the gods, they killed twin babes until D missionaries came and stop us. We know better now.
Join us on whatsapp no 08156446434, and facebook account stopOsu CastePractice . Let's talk about Osu, the significance, benefits and harm to our land. The blood of the Innocent is still reaching to God. Let us the free borns right the wrongs of our fathers. I love biafra

Osu, ohu, ume is ancient and evil. Our fathers did what they thought was best at that time.
Leprosy was once a curse from the gods. They were dumped in the forest to die.
Our forefathers once killed twin babes, cod they said it was an abomination for a woman to both two babies in a given pregnancy. Mary Slessor stopped them.
They were ignorant, and we will be foolish to continue in their ignorance.
This is 21st century, it our life and our land. The elders of today can nullify the effect of the osu caste curse with a counter ritual.
The kings can set them free cod his throne is a symbol of authority.
Let's stop the inhuman and despicable practice. It has no positive effect, rather it promotes discrimination, hatred, war, conflicts and people die in the process.
Join us on whatsapp no 08156446434, facebook stopOsu CastePractice, let's talk more on its benefit and harm to the igbos.
The blood of the inocent was spilled and some placed curse on us before they died and their blood is still crying to God.
We are igbos and we are Great.
Let us the free borns, diala, nwadial, amadi set them free. Be part of a positive generational change. Our children will be proud of us. I love the igbo nation and I love biafra

Hello I agree with you partially. Charity they say begins at home. We can't bind osus, ohus, and umes in igboland and seek freedom from Nigeria /North.
He that goes to equity must go with clean hands.
Join us on whatsapp no 08156446434 and facebook on stopOsu CastePractice. Let's share ideas and experiences.
Let us set them free for the unification of the igbos/biafra.
There must be a way out.. They only ritual/sacrifice that is irreversible is the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. There must be a way out, even the traditional way.
Pls join us... Your idea may bring their freedom.
Tnx
