Revelation of Sister Claire Andoun in Heaven

In my previous article, I wrote about The Home Going of Sister Claire Andoun Solomon, which took place on May 10, 2017. Since then a sister from Heaven Seekers Church in Ghana named Naomi Brako testified on video before the Church that the Lord revealed to her how sister Claire made it to heaven. Here is how it happened.

The Dream Given to Sister Naomi
On June 19, 2017, the Lord gave her a message from Psalm 24 and afterward he asked her to add Psalm 25 to it. So she read those two Psalms. That evening she went to the church service, and after church she told them she asked the Lord to give her a message again. So the Lord told her to read those two chapters again. After reading Psalm 25 she realized she was so sleepy she couldn't do anything. She heard a voice saying to put the Bible down and sleep, so she did so.

She does not know how long she had been sleeping when she suddenly appeared somewhere. She saw sister Claire lying on a sick bed, but at the same time sister Claire was also standing close to her. Sister Claire said, "Behold," and sister Naomi saw her appear on a screen. She said, "Have you seen? When I was on my sick bed about to die, the prayers of the saints that were praying for me and asking the Lord that if I had sinned that He should forgive me -- have you seen it?" And she made Naomi understand that even while she was lying on her bed, she was also pleading for forgiveness of sin, because the Lord made her understand that she had sinned. And on the screen, Noami saw some of the saints were praying for her, including her father and mother and other saints who were praying for her. She saw another group, too, whom she thought were saints that sister Claire used to fellowship with or pray with. She thought they were praying for her, but she saw that in their minds they were saying, "She's getting what she deserves."

Claire told her to "Look at the angels who are preparing and waiting on me to take me away." And Naomi saw that even while she and others were praying for her sins, the angels were waiting to take her away. And she realized that truly they took her along and they entered into the clouds. Naomi kept looking on and she saw that the heavens had opened. While looking at her, she said, "Wow! You have arrived." So Naomi decided to join her, but sister Claire said, "No. You cannot just enter like that."

And she saw that sister Claire, with whom she was chatting, was changing -- her skin and her nature, her body, and everything was changing. So Naomi was looking at her and telling her, "Wow, you look so elegant and so beautiful!" Naomi wanted to go along with her, but she said, "No, you haven't finished your work, so you can't just enter that place."

And while she was talking to her, Naomi realized heaven had come so close to her that she can't describe it. Sister Claire asked her, "Heaven has come so close to you. Do you understand why heaven has come so close to you?" And she told her, "Heaven has come so close to you. I'm going to explain it to you. Heaven has come so close, as a matter of fact, the Lord has brought heaven so close to men."

Claire made her understand that we used to think heaven was so far away from us, but now it's not like that. Heaven is so close to us, because the Lord is revealing mysteries to us. Some things we previously thought were not sins, the Lord has revealed them to us. We now have much knowledge about heaven and how to get there. And Claire made her understand there were so many things we thought were not sins, but the Lord has made us realize it, even some things that go on in matrimonial homes.

And sister Claire made her understand that she didn't go to heaven by her own merits. It was the grace of God that took her there. It wasn't by her own doing or her works. And she made her understand that the Lord isn't coming for just anyone who maybe calls upon His name, but rather someone who does the will of the Father and keeps His commandments.

Jesus said, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." (Matt 7:21, NIV)

"In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome..." (1 John 5:3, NIV)

"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." (Rev 22:14, KJV)

Then she saw a number of people in a group there, and sister Claire said she should go tell them that she's not in hell. So while sister Naomi was going, she saw that sister Claire's father and mother were in the crowd, so she told them that she was not in hell. And sister Claire told her that the Lord even revealed to a pastor in the Heaven Seekers Church named Albert that she was not in hell, but he didn't believe it. But later on the Lord made him believe that she wasn't in hell.

Then she saw how beautiful sister Claire was looking, and her skin color, even her teeth, how shiny they were, and her nails. She was looking so glorious and so beautiful. And she saw that another sister was with her, who was the late sister of a deaconess in her church named Jane.

She saw that the dress that sister Claire was dressed in was so beautiful, so she asked, "How come you have this beautiful dress?" And she told her, "When I went to heaven the angels had already sown it there for me." And she showed her another dress that she would be wearing on the banquet day of the Lord, the day when He will have His marriage feast, and sister Naomi doesn't even have the words to describe how beautiful that dress was. As Naomi was looking at her crown, she saw that her crown was also so glorious!

Sister Claire told her that normally they (apparently sister Claire and the late sister of deaconess Jane) have been coming into the midst of Heaven Seekers Church in Ghana to worship with them, even though they do not see them. They are coming into their midst as angels to worship with them, so sister Claire said she should tell the church all about it. It is possible that sister Claire may have also meant that the saints in glory in general -- not just herself -- are normally coming into our midst to join us in worship. Sister Naomi seemed to indicate in her testimony that this is a "normal" occurrence that happens "sometimes" when we worship.

"Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us..." (Heb 12:1, NIV)

Also sister Claire was speaking Chi with her, so she asked her, "While you were on earth, you didn't understand Chi, and you couldn't speak Chi, so how come now you are speaking my own language with me?" And she said, "Over there in heaven you are able to speak all manner of languages, so no matter the language you speak, I can communicate with you."

And Naomi noticed how nice and glorious her mansion in heaven was, so she asked her how she came to possess it. She replied, "It began when I surrendered my life to our Lord Jesus Christ, and then I went about evangelizing, using my life as an example, to win so many souls unto the Lord." And she made Naomi to understand that the Lord was so pleased with the fact that she was using her own life as an example to evangelize to others and to win so many souls to Him. That's how she got the mansion, but she entered into heaven, not by any merits, but it was just by the mercy and the grace of the Lord, because she sinned against Him. But when she went to the Lord for forgiveness, He had mercy upon her and forgave her of her sins. That's how she was able to enter into the kingdom.

So sister Naomi asked her, "Then what about us? Are we also going to have buildings?" Sister Claire replied, "Some of them are now at the foundation level, some have not yet been started, and some are at the extent that now they are breaking." May the Lord have mercy on us!

And as Naomi was looking at her building, sister Claire told her that it would take a year to move through all the various parts of the building. May the Lord have mercy on us and grant us a building as beautiful as that. Sister Naomi says, "Her building was so high and mighty! My beloved, my prayer to the Most High God is that may He have mercy on us, may He help us so that we'll also be able to work for Him well, so that our works will be able to build us such a mansion. And may He have mercy on us and also take us into His kingdom."

The Vision Given to Brother Albert
Afterward a pastor named Albert testified. This is the pastor whom sister Claire told sister Naomi about in the revelation, saying that the Lord had revealed to him that she was not in hell, but he didn't believe it. He said he remembers the morning that sister Claire passed away, on May 10, 2017. They were having pastor's prayers, and their lead pastor, who was present, informed them that she had passed away. While the others were still deliberating about her issue about her death, he was just sitting quietly, and the Lord revealed a lady to him. He saw that there was something black coming out of her nose. But suddenly her appearance changed and she looked so glorious, and the Lord told him, "This is sister Claire." The Lord made him understand that the former state he saw her in was the state she was in before she died.  But now the new, glorious state he was seeing her in was how the Lord has made her. But he didn't believe it. He was still doubting it within himself. And because of that, he did not even inform his lead pastor or wife. Neither did he tell deaconess Jane. He only informed one person.

It was only later that the lead pastor's wife heard it and she asked him, "Pastor, I heard you saw sister Claire in a vision, and you didn't even inform me." After he heard sister Naomi's testimony before the Church on June 24, 2017 he shared his testimony before the Church about the vision of sister Claire, so that it could be part of the video recording in support of sister Naomi's testimony. And he said, "Up until now I haven't even informed any other person until I said it here yesterday. I didn't inform deaconess Jane. This is to prove that what the Lord revealed unto deaconess Naomi and unto me is indeed the truth. So if someone tells you that he or she has seen sister Claire anywhere else, this is what the Lord revealed to me that she was indeed able to make it [into heaven]. Amen."

The Lord's Message for us in Psalms 24 and 25
I also want to discuss the two Psalms that sister Naomi received from the Lord in answer to prayer, because they contain a very important message for us, regarding sister Claire's eternal destination. Remember that He told sister Naomi to read Psalm 24, then He told her to read Psalm 25, and later when she prayed for another message, He told her to read the two chapters again. It was after she finished reading Psalm 25 that a great sleepiness came over her, and she heard the voice tell her to close the Bible and sleep. After she did so, it was during that sleep that she had the dream in which the Lord revealed to her that sister Claire made it to heaven. So please read these, and ask the Lord to speak to you.

As you read Psalm 24, listen to the Lord as He tells you who may ascend into the hill of the Lord and stand in His holy place. Listen to the Lord tell you who shall receive a blessing from the LORD and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is directly related to the revelation about sister Claire, because she ascended His hill, stood in His holy place, received a blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from God who saved her. She had clean hands and a pure heart, and that is what you and I must have, if we hope to make it to heaven.

Psalm 24
A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and all it contains, The world, and those who dwell in it. For He has founded it upon the seas And established it upon the rivers. Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? And who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood And has not sworn deceitfully. He shall receive a blessing from the LORD And righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face—even Jacob. Selah. Lift up your heads, O gates, And be lifted up, O ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in! Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O gates, And lift them up, O ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in! Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah. (Psa 24:1-10)

Now as you read Psalm 25, listen to the Lord as He shows you how sister Claire lifted up her soul to the Lord and trusted Him before she died, while she was on her sick bed. Listen to Him as He tells you how she feared the Lord, asking Him to pardon her iniquity and forgive all her sins.

Psalm 25
A Psalm of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. O my God, in You I trust, Do not let me be ashamed; Do not let my enemies exult over me. Indeed, none of those who wait for You will be ashamed; Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed. Make me know Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; For You I wait all the day. Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and Your lovingkindnesses, For they have been from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; According to Your lovingkindness remember me, For Your goodness' sake, O LORD. Good and upright is the LORD; Therefore He instructs sinners in the way. He leads the humble in justice, And He teaches the humble His way. All the paths of the LORD are lovingkindness and truth To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies. For Your name's sake, O LORD, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great. Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way he should choose. His soul will abide in prosperity, And his descendants will inherit the land. The secret of the LORD is for those who fear Him, And He will make them know His covenant. My eyes are continually toward the LORD, For He will pluck my feet out of the net. Turn to me and be gracious to me, For I am lonely and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses. Look upon my affliction and my trouble, And forgive all my sins. Look upon my enemies, for they are many, And they hate me with violent hatred. Guard my soul and deliver me; Do not let me be ashamed, for I take refuge in You. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You. Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all his troubles. (Psa 25:1-22)

I think this Psalm is very appropriate, because there are so many people who consider themselves believers, but are convinced sister Claire went to hell. They are very vocal about it and have come out with their false revelations about it. I have a message for those people: "Do not spread false reports." (Ex 23:1). Gabriel Doufle is one of them and there are others, who claim to have received revelations from the Lord that she is in hell. Doufle seems to be triumphing over such "revelations" of her demise, as if they prove that his prophecy about her and brother Owour was valid. How sad that he and others would do so! They are not glorifying the Lord. And many of them are actually quite nasty in the way they go about it, even condemning others who say she is in heaven, as if it makes the Lord angry to say she entered into glory, and as if saying so endangers their own soul. The Lord said we would know false prophets by their fruits, and these are not good fruits.

Recall how sister Naomi saw in the dream that there were people who, instead of praying for sister Claire while she was on her sick bed, were thinking in their hearts that she was getting what she deserved. This is true, because those people that she once had fellowship and prayed with are now coming out against her treacherously. These enemies of hers are now seeking to exult over her death, as if they are hating her, saying she got what she deserved. The Lord guarded her soul and delivered her from all that, so that they did not triumph over her. In the end, she was not ashamed, because she took refuge in the Lord. Though she was afflicted, He was gracious to her. Though the troubles of her heart were multiplied, He brought her out of her distress.

Putting it All Together
In conclusion, brother Albert is definitely correct that his testimony helps to prove that what the Lord showed to him and sister Naomi is true. On May 10, the day sister Claire died, he received his revelation of her entering heaven, but he initially did not believe it and he only informed one person. Sister Naomi did not know about this on June 19, when she received her revelation from the Lord about sister Claire. And in that revelation sister Claire told her that the Lord had revealed to pastor Albert that she made it to heaven and he did not believe it until the Lord later helped him to believe it was true. She could not have known this on her own, since she had no prior knowledge of the vision given to him. Praise the Lord!

These revelations are definitely from the Lord, in my opinion. The Scripture says “‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy." (Ac 2:17-18). Both the dream that the Lord gave unto sister Naomi and the vision He gave unto brother Albert bring glory to God, as well as the message He gave us in Psalms 24 and 25. They also demonstrate His riches in mercy, and encourage us to a life of purity, obedience, and service to the Lord.

The message is clear that she is in heaven with the Lord. May it encourage you to pray, work for the Lord, serving Him, using your life as an example, evangelizing others, winning many souls to Him, and also stir you up in your own walk with Him to live in righteousness, holiness and truth.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"

Claire Andoun Solomon's Encounter with Jesus

Claire Andoun Solomon

It was four years ago that I had the privilege of coming to know sister Claire Andoun from Cameroon. Initially I saw a video she produced with a warning for women, so I contacted her to vet her character and see if she was genuine. We spoke together on the phone for the first time on May 21, 2013. In that phone conversation, she shared with me her testimony, which I would like to share with you here.

She spoke about the need to be blameless, according to God's Word (Mt 5:48). The will of God is our sanctification. As the apostle Paul said, "For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality." (1Th 4:3)

He is preparing us. She gave God the glory for her life. She grew up in an environment of fearing God, praying at 5:00 AM. In her household, they believed that Jesus is the only way.

When she was a teenager, one day while she was sleeping after prayer, a bright light appeared to her, heaven opened, and a ladder came down. She saw a man, who had the skin of a white man, dressed as a King, wearing sandals. She knew He was Jesus. She could see the Holy City and words in front of her. He said, “If you read my Word and obey, then I will give you that city.” Afterward the words disappeared and the ladder rolled back up and all became dark.

Later on she began to disobey the Lord. She left home, lived a worldly life, and became stubborn. Although she went to medical school, she actually wanted to be a musician. She sang in nightclubs and pubs. During this time, she forgot all about seeing Jesus in that encounter she had as a teenager.

Her mother told her that when she was in the womb, the doctor told her the child would trouble the world. When she was in prostitution, her mother called her and told her to abandon that practice and give her life to Jesus, but she didn't. Then she began to have children.

In 2009 she saw the testimony of Daniel Ekechukwa from Nigeria. She got convicted by the Holy Spirit, saw her nakedness, and fell on the floor, crying out, “Jesus, have mercy on me!” She repented of her sins. The next day, she found a Bible and looked for a church. It was a Wednesday morning. She found a lady who gave her a Bible, whose husband was a pastor. He talked to her, but ran out of time.

She continued to look for a church that she could understand, and one that preached the Word, but she could not find one. There was no hunger for God in the churches. Then her landlord invited her to his church.

She cried out to God and saw herself praying for a sick woman who got healed. Heaven opened, Jesus came down, and she was afraid. He said, “Peace be with you.” He instructed her and the woman who was healed to keep praising God, so they did so, and He praised with them. He also danced with them.

Then He opened the Bible and said, “I have something to show you. You’re lazy.” She had been previously wondering if laziness was a sin. And He said, “If you’re lazy, you won’t pray or read your Bible.” She asked the Lord if she should go to that church that she was invited to by her landlord. He said there were things He didn’t like about it, but said, “Go there for now.” At that church, she was not allowed to sing in the choir until she dressed properly.

One day as she was crossing the street, a tour bus driver called out to her and wanted to get her phone number. Although she told him that she was a child of God, he didn’t recognize her as one, due to the way she was dressed. In fact, he mocked her when she told him that. She couldn’t understand why he didn’t recognize that she was a child of God.

Afterward a lady, who wasn’t even born again, told her that the way she was dressed was not holy. So she cried out to God. At church the pastor’s wife affirmed that she was not dressed properly. Then she found the testimony of the woman who had been a worker for the devil, and she got rid of the trousers. She stopped bleaching her skin, but mascara was the hardest thing to let go of.

She prayed with a brother, who apparently did not believe in outward holiness and thought that she had some kind of spiritual confusion. He took anointing oil and prayed over her eyes. Then he said, “There! You can put on mascara.” In saying this, he implied that it wouldn’t be a spiritual problem now.

Then one day after that the spirit of death came to her, and she felt as if she was dying. She thought, “The mascara is going to take me to hell.” She got up and threw it in the toilet.  After that she could breath freely again.

Afterward she stood firm on her conviction about holiness, without which the Scripture says no man shall see the Lord (Heb 12:14). She didn’t go back to her old ways, and the Lord showed her the real beauty in her. She continued to seek Him in the Word. Then one day during the second day of a three-day fast, the Lord showed her that the Church is dirty. In a deep sleep she saw herself in the Church. The Lord took her out of the church in a vision. She could see that women, men, and children in church were half naked. He said, “My Church is Dirty!” Then He showed her that there is a strange power that has come into the Church, because this unclean spirit has been invited in by the women of God, and the pastors will not preach against it.  This strange power is the Queen of the Coast, who leads the sisters in the Church to dress immodestly. That was how the Lord birthed her ministry to transform the world, which she called Virtuous Women in Christ. Her ministry emphasized the need for holiness, not only inwardly, but the kind that can be observed outwardly in one's life

During the course of time, my wife and I became friends with sister Claire and had many other conversations with her. Then recently on May 10, 2017, nearly four years after we came to know her, she went home to be with the Lord, which I have written about in my article, The Home Going of Sister Claire Andoun Solomon. If this message of complete holiness is new to you, then I encourage you to prayerfully investigate it to see if it is really true, because your soul depends on it. This is the will of God, even your sanctification.

The Home Going of Sister Claire Andoun Solomon

In my previous articles, Godly Attire and Adornment -- Seven Divine Revelations, and Garments of Godliness, I have written about sister Claire Andoun from Cameroon, who was a dear sister in Christ that preached the biblical message of complete holiness. On May 10, 2017, after a brief illness, she passed from this life into glory. She was a friend of mine, and many others around the world as well. She will be missed by all who love her, and I send my sincere condolences especially to her husband, children, and parents. She left behind a seven year old, a ten year old, and a thirteen year old child. May the Lord comfort them in their loss.

She was a woman of faith and action, who was gifted by God in many ways, including musically, and He used her to proclaim His message to the world. She was a praying woman, who had some awesome experiences with God, some of which I have written about in Claire Andoun Solomon's Encounter with Jesus.

She had founded and led a ministry called Virtuous Women in Christ (VWC). Meanwhile she had been part of the Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW), but left that organization after a few years over issues she had with its leader Paul Rika, and her belief that the Lord was leading her to start her own ministry. For more about HOREMOW, please see my articles HOREMOW Issues and Concerns and Exposing the Darkness within HOREMOW.

After leaving HOREMOW, she continued to carry on with her VWC ministry from her home base in the UK, traveling and preaching internationally in various countries of Africa as well as the Middle East. Regrettably she followed Gabriel Doufle from Togo, Africa, about whom I have written an article regarding my issues and concerns. One of the concerns I had with him was that he prophesied to sister Claire around December 2015 that she must marry a well-known Kenyan preacher named Dr. David Owuor or else she would perish in hell. Nevertheless, she did not marry Owuor, but continued on with her ministry, and in 2016 she founded Complete Holiness Missions International (CHMI). For more about the man whom she called "Daddy" and with whom she associated closely, who has been spreading false reports about her since her death, please see my article, Gabriel Doufle Issues and Concerns.

God did some amazing things in her life, especially in the period just before she died. She moved to Nigeria in late 2016, started CHMI, and was later married to an evangelist named Solomon on April 6, 2017. On Resurrection Sunday, April 17, 2017, she received a dream from the Lord about the rapture, which I have written about in Rapture Revelation to Sister Claire Andoun Solomon. On April 22, 2017, she had a supernatural encounter with the Holy Spirit during intercessory prayer with her husband, in which they were taken in the Spirit to set Christians free from terrorist prisons. I have written about that in my article, The Bodily Form of the Holy Spirit. On April 28, 2017, she posted a video on her Facebook page with the good news about the upcoming launch of her new TV program called Complete Holiness Broadcasting Network (CHBN), which launched on May 1, 2017.

Following that video on April 28th, she became hospitalized for about two weeks with the illness from which she died on May 10, 2017. News of her death left many who knew her wondering why she died prematurely, and whether she may have been the target of a spiritual attack of some kind from the enemy. Her sudden death certainly seemed suspicious, especially in light of the negative words Gabriel Doufle spoke over her concerning marriage. In fact, because of his prophecy, some may have even wondered whether she made it to heaven.

Then on May 11, 2017, the day after she passed away, a sister in Christ in Norway, who did not even know sister Claire, had a vision of her during prayer, and the Lord identified the woman she was seeing in the vision as sister Claire. Here is her testimony:

"Jesus loves us in His kindness and He wants us to love Him back. With this, I have a great vision to share with you this morning that concerns Evangelist Claire Atongo Andoun, that died yesterday morning. This morning (11-05-2017), as I was praying around after 7:00 AM, it got to a point where the Holy Spirit gave me this vision where I saw Evangelist Claire. She is in glory and I saw her. I did not know her before; it was just yesterday that I saw her on Facebook for the first time. It was when I opened my eyes that the Holy Spirit told me that she is Evangelist Claire.

Immediately after that, I saw the angels in heaven worshiping, and heaven is rejoicing for her. Later, the Holy Spirit gave me a Scripture - Matthew 6:34 - saying that 'she did not worry about earthly things, and that was why I took her.' Then I saw angels preparing a throne for her.

As I continued reading, God gave me another vision.  I saw the cloud opening into two and Evangelist Claire walking on the narrow road and she tied (covered) her hair. Then at the end she turned and said ‘Bye bye.' Then I opened my eyes.

With this, I want to say that God is great and I am happy for her because she made it to heaven. To conclude this, when everything was finished, the Holy Spirit told me to call Evangelist Margaret Amure and I did; I have spoken to her this morning.  Please brethren, share this if you love Jesus. God bless you".  From Sister Esther Braibo (NORWAY).

Then I received the following testimony of a revelation about sister Claire that was given on May 12, 2017 to a brother named Anaele Chiedozie:

"During the Facebook live ministration yesterday, as I was about to conclude my ministration about the divine revelations of the rapture given to me, I paused a bit while I was live, because my eyes were widely opened up into the spirit world. Then I saw great trouble upon the earth. I heard a voice say to me while I was live on Facebook, tell them to prepare. Immediately I looked up to heaven and then I saw Evang. Claire Atongo Andoun with a white wedding dress, almost similar to the one on her marriage picture. I don't know her so well, but we spoke for the first time some few weeks back, because she complained to me of her bad network in Lagos.

As I saw her in glory, I heard a loud voice say to me..... 'SHE MADE IT, SHE MADE IT, SHE MADE IT.'  Then I heard another voice say, 'Weep not for her but weep for yourself for there shall be trouble upon the earth.' Immediately I couldn't control my weeping spirit, so I shut down the Facebook live ministration on air.

I said to the Lord, 'Confirm your words to me,' as I woke up. I heard a voice say to me May 13, 2017:

'WE ARE WAITING TO CELEBRATE YOU ALSO.'  This was in reference to the sister, that had just made it because there was great celebration for her.

Am not used to sharing revelations of people I don't know too well, but I believe the Lord is showing me this for a purpose.

The devil thought that by trying to kill Jesus or the apostles or prophet of old, that all his troubles were over but in all things God uses them for his glory. CHRISTIANS MUST BE VERY WATCHFUL AND PRAYERFUL. God can allow wicked demonic powers prevail over a Christian, sometimes due to carelessness but if they truly died in the Lord, making heaven won't be a problem. Rev 21:4.

Received by Anaele Chiedozie S.
Jesus is coming very soon!"
[END OF TESTIMONY]

Since this article was written, there has been yet another Revelation of Sister Claire Andoun in Heaven, which I encourage you to read.

These are wonderful testimonies! Praise the Lord! Our sister Claire has made it on into glory, to her eternal home there, and the Lord gave a vision to a woman who did not even know her, in order to confirm it. He also gave another vision to a brother in Christ who did not know her very well and had only spoken to her once before. For those who question the message and the ministry of sister Claire, let this be a sign to them that she carried the message of the Lord and was pleasing to Him. She fought the good fight. She kept the faith. She has finished the race. Now there is laid up for her a crown of righteousness that shall never fade away. May she rest in peace.

If you would like to honor her, please leave a comment and perhaps share how the Lord used her to impact your life or just share what you appreciated about her.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

The psalmist said, "I am fearfully and wonderfully made" (Ps 139:14). It's easy to understand what he meant by "wonderfully made," when you consider all the wonderful aspects of the human body like the eyes and their ability to see, the skin with it's smoothness and ability to feel, the tongue that enables us to speak and taste, the ears and their ability to hear, the lips, reproductive organs, fingers and toes.

Moreover, DNA is another wonderful aspect that God has made, which contains the genetic code. DNA is a fine thread with a spiral-like coil shape found in the nucleus of every cell in your body -- which contains all the information each cell needs in order to function, and serves as a tiny blueprint with instructions for what each cell is supposed to do. Merely a single gram of DNA can store 700 terabytes of data! In fact, the entire human body with its estimated 100 trillion diploid cells contains about 150 trillion Gigabytes of data. If you were to uncoil all the DNA in all the cells of your body to form a straight line, and place them all end to end, they would extend for over 744 million miles. Your DNA would stretch to the moon and back over 1000 times. It would reach to the sun and back about 4 times!

Furthermore, the amazing human nose can distinguish 50,000 different smells. Amazingly an adult human body contains 100,000 miles of blood vessels, which would circle the earth four times, and is made up of about seven octillion (7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) atoms.* Just to give you an idea how large that number is, if you were to count to seven octillion, it would take you over thirty-two quintillion years without any sleep to do so. Just think of how many atoms God has arranged inside your body! There are only 9,096 stars visible with the naked eye across the entire sky from earth. If each of the atoms from just one single human body were a star, that would equal seven million times as many stars as scientists estimate there are in our entire universe!** Therefore, the seven octillion atoms in the human body is equal to the number of stars in seven million universes. Put differently, the Lord has given you seven million times as many atoms in your body as there are stars in the universe. He's certainly packed a lot into you! Dear friend, you are much more valuable to God than all the stars in the entire universe.

If each of the seven octillion atoms in the human body were the size of an average apple, and we laid them all on the ground, side-by-side so that there was no ground showing, and they were only one-apple deep, they would cover the entire planet earth 79,701,133,174 times over. We could cover over seventy nine billion planets the size of earth with that many apples!*** There would be no room in our solar system for all those planets. In fact, there would be enough to create a whole galaxy of apple-covered, earth-sized planets. Praise the Lord!

But what did the psalmist mean by "fearfully made"? The Hebrew word for "I am fearfully" is "yare" meaning "cause astonishment and awe: of Yehova himself."  Truly there are aspects of our existence that cause us to be in astonishment and awe of the Lord. Let's consider some of those aspects now. Blood is one of them. It's no wonder that some people faint at the site of blood, the red fluid that performs critical functions like carrying oxygen and nutrients to cells throughout the body. As the Scripture says, "The life of the flesh is in the blood" (Lev 17:11). According to Wikipedia, the average adult has around 5 quarts (~5 litres) of blood. A loss of only 2 quarts or 2 litres (just over 40%) of your blood, will lead to death in most cases without treatment.

The heart is another fearful thing that God has made. It beats about 100,000 times per day and about 35 million times in a year. During an average lifetime, it beats more than 2.5 billion times. Since God has made the heart to beat automatically, He is the one that keeps it beating. You don't even have to think about it. We personally have no ability to make our own hearts continue beating or to make them stop beating, except for those who make the terrible choice of suicide. Since life comes to an end without a beating heart, we should be very grateful to God, whom we are totally dependent upon to keep it pumping.

Likewise, the lungs perform a critical respiratory function, bringing oxygen into the body and exhaling the exhausted air with its toxins. The total length of the airways within the two lungs is 1,500 miles or 2,400 kilometers. Scientists estimate that the total internal surface area of lungs in an adult is about the same as the area on one half of a tennis court. The lungs do their work without our giving it any thought. While we can force ourselves to breath faster or more slowly, we cannot make ourselves continue breathing when respiration stops. Since no person on earth can survive without breathing, and we are dependent on God for every breath we take, that's definitely something that He has fearfully made, which we should be thankful for.

Furthermore, the human brain with all its complexity enables us to think, reason, speak, and remember. Although the brain operates on the same amount of power as a dim, 10-watt light bulb, nerve impulses travel to and from the brain at speeds up to 170 miles per hour, and one single brain cell (not the entire brain) can hold five times more information than any encyclopedia. Scientists estimate the storage capacity of the brain in electronic terms to be between 3 or even 1,000 terabytes. As a point of comparison, it only takes 70 terabytes of memory to store over 900 years of history in the National Archives of Britain. In addition to all of these wonderful aspects of the brain, it is also fearfully made. It does not take much to injure it, and if it is injured traumatically, it can cause severe problems in a person's life, including headaches, seizures, blindness, deafness, personality changes, behavioral changes, memory loss, speech loss or impediment, paralysis, unconsciousness, and even death.

For all of its durability, human life is also very delicate and fragile. Small things like a little bullet, a sword, a knife, a fall, a blunt force, a tiny blood clot, a bacterial infection, or a microscopic virus can easily snuff it out. A person can be here today and gone tomorrow just like that.

However, the physical body parts are not the only things about us that are fearfully made. The soul is another part we need to consider. God is eternal, which means He is without beginning or end, and He has created us in His image (Gen 1:27). When God made us, he created not only a body, but a spirit and a soul. The thing about the soul is that once it is created, it never ceases to exist. While we have a definite point in time when we came into existence, and our mortal life ends at death, we have an immortal soul. Even after physical life ends, the soul continues to live and experience all of the same senses it does while you are alive. It can still feel, taste, touch, see, hear, know, think, and remember as when it was inside the body, but once it leaves the body, the senses become even more acute. This existence goes on throughout eternity forever without end.

It is completely impossible to ever stop a soul from existing. Once it leaves this earth it will exist either in heaven or hell (Psalm 22:26; 23:6; 49:7-9; Ecclesiastes 12:7; Daniel 12:2-3; Matthew 25:46; 1 Corinthians 15:12-19). According to the angel Gabriel's message to Daniel, “Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.” (Dan 12:2, NIV). Likewise, Jesus said that the wicked “will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life” (Mt 25:46, NIV).

Whether you go to heaven or hell will depend on what is determined at the judgment seat of Christ. "It is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment." (Heb 9:27, NASB 1977). That is an appointment that every one of us has with God, and no matter what you do, you will not miss that appointment. You will appear before God for judgment at the appointed time. When that time comes, you will meet the Lord Jesus Christ in person, whether you believe in Him or not, and whether you lived for Him or not. He already knows the exact day and hour when you will die, even though it is completely unknown to you. It is fixed. And when that moment arrives, there is nothing you can do to stop it. That is when we must give an account to God for everything done while in the body, whether good or bad (2 Cor 5:10; Rom 2:6; 14:12). Your entire life will be played back to you like a movie and you will have to give an account for how you lived, based on God's holy and righteous standard.

In my opinion, this aspect about a soul is one that is fearfully made by God. While you cannot add one single hour to your life on earth (Mt 6:27), you cannot end your existence at any point once you have been created. Even if you end your earthly life through suicide, your soul will not cease to exist. That's why we should fear the Lord. Jesus said, "But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him." (Lk 12:5).

Forever is a long time, and hell has no exits. That is why you must repent and believe the gospel. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and trust in His unfailing love. Though each person is worth much more to God than all the stars in the universe, Jesus His Son is exceedingly abundantly more valuable to Him than any other person, and the Father has given Him up to die on the cross as a sacrifice for you. He has raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand. Though it may seem like nobody else loves you, and you don't even love yourself, Jesus loves you. Every breath you take and every heartbeat is from Him. Trust in His grace to save you, and live every day as if it is going to be your last.

In light of all these things, we can surely say to God with the psalmist, "I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well." (Psa 139:14).

*Each of these atoms has a nucleus comprised of tiny particles known as protons and neutrons. The atomic nucleus is surrounded by electrons orbiting it in complex pathways.

**According to USCB Scienceline, "There are about 10 billion galaxies in the observable universe! The number of stars in a galaxy varies, but assuming an average of 100 billion stars per galaxy means that there are about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (that's 1 billion trillion) stars in the observable universe!"

***This estimate is based on each apple being three inches in diameter, taking up nine square inches of surface area, which is 0.0625 square feet. By multiplying that by seven octillion, it equals four hundred thirty-seven septillion, five hundred  sextillion (437,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) square feet, which is equal to over fifteen quintillion, six hundred ninety-three quadrillion (15,693,153,122,130,395,136) square miles. Then we divide that total number of square miles by the total surface area of planet earth, which is one hundred ninety-six million, nine hundred thousand (196,900,000) square miles, and the result is seventy-nine billion, seven hundred one million, one hundred thirty-three thousand, one hundred seventy-four (79,701,133,174). That is the number of times this planet could be covered in seven octillion apples.

HOREMOW Issues and Concerns

Paul and Linda Rika

I need to publicize some issues and concerns that I have with the Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW), based in Nigeria. Brother Paul Rika, who is the International Director, and whom I had considered a friend of mine, leads it. He is married to sister Linda Paul Rika, formerly Linda Ngaujah, who is originally from Sierra Leone. I had previously published her testimony of heaven and hell, but have since removed that article due to my concerns. For more on this, please see my articles, HOREMOW Issues and Concerns and Exposing the Darkness within HOREMOW.

God bless you!

More, Powerful Testimonies

Dear friends,

For more, powerful testimonies that give glory and honor to God and His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, in addition to the ones published here on Eternal Destinations, please see Testimonies from Budapest and Preparing the Way Radio. Let me also encourage you to testify for Jesus Christ to those around you. Let's not just always be looking for the latest testimony of someone else, such as those who have experienced heaven and hell. Spend more time reading the Bible, God's Word. Do what it says, and if you have come to know Jesus, share with others your testimony of what He has done personally in your own life.

"And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death." (Rev 12:11)

"Even in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true." (Joh 8:17)

“Every fact is to be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses.” (2Co 13:1b)

"This testimony is true. For this reason reprove them severely so that they may be sound in the faith..." (Tit 1:13)

"And with great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and abundant grace was upon them all." (Act 4:33)

"And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe." (Joh 19:35)

"If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that He has testified concerning His Son. The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son. And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son." (1Jn 5:9-11)

"This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come." (Mat 24:14)

"And He ordered us to preach to the people, and solemnly to testify that this is the One who has been appointed by God as Judge of the living and the dead." (Act 10:42)

"So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus." (Rev 12:17)

Eternal Security

One of the most popular teachings in the Church worldwide today is the doctrine of eternal security, which is the teaching of once-saved-always-saved (OSAS). They teach that once we get saved, there is nothing we can ever do to lose our salvation. It is taught as if it is the gospel. If you are in a church that teaches this error, or if you yourself teach it, then I would like you to consider the following articles of mine. In these articles, I explain from Scripture what the Bible actually teaches on this topic:

If -- A Picture Paints a Thousand Words
Drifting Away
Is Obedience Optional?
Sins That Will Keep You From Heaven
You Must Be Born Again (see the section on New Life)
Avoid Becoming a Corrupted Christian
The Apostasy Parables

New Testament Books Disproving Eternal Security
Keeping Power of God

The Fruit Test of a Genuine Disciple

These articles clearly show that eternal security is not taught in the Bible. However, if after reading them you still need more proof, then you may also read the following articles:

Is Practical Righteousness a Lost Truth?
Walking in the Perfect Will of God
Striving to Enter the Kingdom of God
The Difference Between a Disciple and a Believer
Having a Servant's Heart
Holy Living in a Perverted World
The Cost of Discipleship 
Salvation with Fear and Trembling
Faith Works! 

Being Blessable 
No Turning Back

The enemy uses the false teaching on eternal security to deceive many people to hell. Please don't let that happen to you or those you love. Prayerfully read these articles and share these articles with others who believe in eternal security, so that they will not perish but have everlasting life.
