‘I’m Son of God sent to end corruption’

By KELECHI MGBOJI

A middle aged man from Abia State, Joel Ike, who claimed to be 'Son of God' has said that God has revealed to him how to eradicate corruption from the face of the earth beginning from Nigeria.

In an exclusive interview with our correspondent, Ike said “I am a son of God. I was born a son of God. I didn’t choose that myself. My mandate is to eradicate corruption from the face of the earth.”

He said that the distinct voice of God has been speaking to him over the years on why mankind has been sold to corruption, stressing “we (referring to himself and his followers) are Sons of God sent to solve the problems of corruption facing mankind.”

Although Ike declined being called a Christian or Muslim, at his residence at ISiaka Street, Ojo  opposite Ojo Barracks, Mile 2 – Badagry Express way, Lagos, Ike has already commenced a gathering of brethren he described as 'Sons of God'.

Hear him: “Everybody is corrupt. In families, government, churches, market; every area of human endeavour, there is corruption. So, corruption is not man-made. Man did not go into corruption willingly. What needs to be done for corruption to be wiped out has already been revealed to the 'Sons of God'. They are the ones going to do what will make God remove corruption from among men.”

He disclosed that going by the revelation he received, only the Sons of God numbering 190 men are going to be among the brethren. He said “It is only 190 people from Nigeria to be entered in the movement. And it is only in Nigeria that God has clearly revealed this solution to corruption.”

He warned that mankind has driven too far away from God the creator, but noted that God is now revealing what should be done so that man may once again find favour in God in the new dispensation stressing that something new happens at the end of every dispensation of 2,000 years.

He said: “At the end of every dispensation of 2000 years, new things do happen. At the end of the first dispensation, the flood came. At the end of the 2^nd dispensation, it was the intervention of our Lord, Jesus Christ, who by the grace saved the world. Then at the end of grace, this is God revealing what we should do.

“The period of grace lasted for 2,000 years. The world of Adam lasted for about 2, 000 years. After that, the world of commandments and laws beginning from the time of Moses, lasted about 2, 000 years. The world of grace has lasted about 2, 000 years. It has already ended. That is why I said man does not know what he is doing and where he is,” said Ike.

According to him, the first period started with Adam and ended with Noah and the second period started with Abraham and ended with our Lord Jesus Christ.

“The third period started at the end of the time of grace. The beginning is the manifestation of the sons of God as the precious fruit of the earth to lead the rest of the fruits of true vine. This manifestation will mark the end of the world. The end of the world means the harvest which is the time when evil will be removed and the good will remain on earth”.As to what the 190 Sons of God will do, Ike said "They will be hearing from God and tell the people what God is saying. All of the 190 people will hear directly from God and then tell the people what God is saying. That is what God has revealed to me, and the scriptures confirm it. So, the 190 will serve as intermediary between God and man all over the world."

Speaking further, the crusader pointed out that "Christians and Moslems don’t know where they are. They are afraid when they hear what they don’t understand. When they talk about the end of the world, they fail to understand what the scriptures say which is world without end.

"Yet they tell you the world will come to an end. This is because they don’t have the understanding. And that is why they talk about the bible contradicting itself.  There are no contradictions in the bible. If anybody can prove one to me, I throw away my own bible. There is none, and you can’t see any contradictions in the bible."

Excerpts:

Why the emphasis on corruption?

It is God's revelation which no man can question. But come to think about that, corruption is at the root of problems in the world. Everybody is corrupt. In families, government, churches, market; every area of human endeavour, there is corruption. So, corruption is not man-made. Man did not go into corruption willingly. What needs to be done for corruption to be wiped out has already been revealed to the sons of God. They are the ones going to do what will make God remove corruption from among men.

 As to what they are going to do precisely, it is left for them. Sons of God are going to follow the movement, even though there is a given number, which is 190, as written in the Holy Scriptures. It is only 190 people from Nigeria to be entered in the movement going to take off in Nigeria. And it is only in Nigeria that God has clearly revealed this solution to corruption. If any other person from any nation comes out to tell us about this revelation, then it means I am a liar.

There is going to be a movement made up of 190 people from Nigeria, though it is not limited to 190 people but they are the ones to lay the foundation, do what is required to make God remove corruption out of the country and the rest of the world.

Besides corruption, is there any other thing that God has revealed to you?

For now, the main problem facing mankind is corruption and its consequences, whether in the family, church, school, market, everywhere. And God is not happy about it. Even the holy bible has been corrupted. You know God said: “Don’t remove, and do not add.” But today, there are so many things that have been added in all versions of the bible, and the things are quite clear. But it surprises me that many of our so called men of God don’t know these things.

You mentioned that the world is without end; are you saying that the world won’t come to an end as some Christians make us believe?

When the bible talks about the end of the world, it is not referring to the physical world. The Noah’s world is not the physical world as some Christians understand it. Even when the bible talks about the earth, it is not the physical earth; all these are spiritual.

You also said that new things happen at the end of every dispensation, 2000 years, how do you mean?

Yes, at the every dispensation which is 2000 years, new things always happen. At the end of the first dispensation, the flood came. At the end of the 2^nd dispensation, it was the intervention of our Lord, Jesus Christ, who by the grace, saved the world. Then at the end of grace, this is God revealing what we should do.

The period of grace lasted for 2,000 years. The world of Adam lasted for about 2, 000 years. After that, the world of commandments and laws beginning from the time of Moses, lasted about 2, 000 years. The world of grace has lasted about 2, 000 years. It has already ended. That is why I said man does not know what he is doing and where he is.

The first period started with Adam and ended with Noah. The second period started with Abraham and ended with our Lord Jesus Christ. The third period started at the end of the time of Grace. The beginning is the manifestation of the sons of God as the precious fruit of the earth to lead the rest of the fruits of true vine. This manifestation will mark the end of the world. The end of the world means the harvest which is the time when evil will be removed and the good will remain on earth.
