“And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie, but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life”.

ARE YOU READY FOR THE KINGDOM?
Beloved, the New Kingdom of God, which you had heard of and prayed for, is here with man. We are told that, the Kingdom of God is neither food nor drink but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. So beloved, always bear in mind that, the Kingdom is embedded in love, peace, joy, goodness, humility and the rest of the virtues of God. The Kingdom of God stands for oneness and togetherness. This explains the answer given when the Pharisees asked Christ when the Kingdom of God was coming. And He replied that the Kingdom of God will not come with signs to be observed, nor will they say, it is here or there, for behold, the Kingdom of God is in the midst of man.

The Kingdom of God does not constitute eating, dancing and merry making; rather it constitutes joy, holiness, silence, peace and truthfulness. The Kingdom of God does not constitute the construction of express roads neither does it constitutes the purchasing of ostentatious cars. Moreover, the Kingdom of God does not constitute the craftiness, immorality, deceitfulness and other vices, which you indulge in. The Kingdom of God does not tolerate illness and plights. Therefore, healing of the sick and giving people vision about how they are being possessed, and removing charms from people are not the main concern of the Kingdom of God. Our Lord Jesus Christ in one of His statements said that, not all those who call Him Lord, Lord would enter the Kingdom of God but those who do the will of His Father in heaven. He further stressed that, on the judgement day, many will say to Him, “Lord, Lord have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in the name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you, depart from Me, you that work iniquity”. St. Matthew 7: 22-23.
It is not the Holy Oil that constitutes the Kingdom of God; neither is it demonstrated in being able to bath very clean; rather, the fear of God among other virtues, makes for the Kingdom of God. You must have heard the national chairman of the Crusade Fellowship saying that, no one is worthy of this Kingdom because of our arrogance and pride, but that everyone is called into the Kingdom out of mercy.

I feel that the sentence, THE LORD IS IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE, LET ALL THE EARTH KEEP SILENCE BEFORE HIM is a good reminder for anyone who comes in here, to shun discussion, arrogance, pride, noise-making, and violence, and embrace peace, silence, humility and decorum. Necklace, finger and earrings, bangles, medicated creams, and shoes are not needed in the Kingdom. Nothing defiled is acceptable in the Kingdom. Hairdressing, using of dressing cap, and wearing of gorgeous dress, is not required here in the Kingdom. But everyone is expected to be in peace, silence, and humility and generally be fearful of the Lord.

The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and the angels are here in the Kingdom. Moreover, all the prophets of old are present here in the Kingdom. If God were to open your eyes so that you may see all those present in the Kingdom, you would have sympathized with yourselves for the unwholesome things, which you indulge in. If you should be opportuned to see one angel, you would then realize that, none of them lifts up his face due to the extent to which they reverence, respect and fear the Father. The angels are always lying low, conscious of the fact that, this is the fullness of time for God to be glorified by all and sundry and not a time for arrogance and violence. The Kingdom of God is holy and undefiled. For this reason, a carnally minded person is not suitable for this Kingdom; such people should steer clear. Beggars are not needed in the Kingdom. So beggars, take note. All that is needed in the Kingdom is righteousness, peace, joy and the fear of God. For you to inherit the said Kingdom, it is imperative that you shun violence and pride and embrace peace and humility; this is the Kingdom which is very tough to inherit.

No material thing is needed here. Our Lord’s Prayer states, ‘Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven’. God wants obedience and absolute humility. This must be done for the glory of God. We do not come here to worship any thing but the Almighty God who created heaven and earth and the things therein. We are enjoined that, the Lord is Spirit, and that, where the spirit of God dwells, freedom abounds there. This freedom calls for everyone to worship, reverence and honor God as due. God alone is worthy to be worshipped, reverenced, feared, honoured and glorified. Therefore, it is incumbent on everyone to worship, fear and glorify God as due, everywhere and every time.

The Kingdom of God is not the streets, roads, houses and the like that exist, rather man is the Kingdom of God. That is why you must humble yourself, have mercy, peace, goodness and all other virtues and avoid being defiled. The Kingdom of God needs love and righteousness. That is why you should be righteous. God requires love and respect. Therefore, you must always love, respect and fear God in your mind, thoughts and deeds; for by so doing, you have glorified Him.
Everything in the entire world and in heaven belongs to God. All that you need to do in order to please Him is for you to glorify, fear and worship Him. We should also be truthful to one another in order to please God. Shunning of segregation pleases God much. So beloved, you need to abide by it.

The Kingdom of the world does not constitute of distinguished members of the society, the gorgeous and the ostentatious things of this world. The Kingdom of God requires none of these things. Recall, when the disciples of Our Lord Jesus Christ were indulging in fighting and struggling for higher positions among themselves, Our Lord Jesus Christ showed to them a little child and enjoined them that, they could only inherit the Kingdom of God should they be like the little child. If you had heard the Sabbath Children answering the questions posed to them, during the quiz competition, you would have been astonished. I do not think you can answer any of the questions, which these children answered. One of the questions asked is, ‘who is the greatest in this Kingdom? What would you give as an answer, if the question were posed to you?

In St. Matthew 11: 11. Our Lord Jesus Christ said:
“Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist, notwithstanding he that is least in the Kingdom of heaven is greater than he:”
What was said about Jesus the Christ? He healed the sick, was preaching ceaselessly, was good, kind, charitable to all and sundry with all amount of humility. In fact, He humbled Himself till death. And as a result of the humility, He possessed was given a name that surpasses all names. Always try to abide by the injunctions of the Holy Spirit. Try and acquire every gospel from the Everlasting Gospel Center and abide by them, because if you fail to do these things, you would regret at last. Make sure you impart to others what you derive from practicing the gospel of God, to avoid regrets at the end. Being a president, chairman, treasurer or occupying any other position in the world does not mean anything; the only profitable thing is for one to be humble. Rejoice not for donating a fat sum of money to the services of God, for this is not worth anything, for God is the Sole Owner of all things. Instead, rejoice for having worshipped glorified and feared God. For these are the things needed in this Kingdom. The spirit of violence and arrogance which you possess are from Lucifer because, violence, war, fighting, pride etc., are earthly. The spirit of controversy in you is the spirit of Lucifer. In fact, it is the spirit of Lucifer that is ruling over humanity. That is why the world lives in violence. Houses of Assembly, senate, Presidency and the entire world are at loggerheads with themselves as a result of the spirit of Lucifer prevalent. But unfortunately, people keep on blaming God for designing certain things the way they are. The entire world has so valued and preferred the things of this world to the extent that, most people always become annoyed and bothered for not being rich or blessed with certain things. Oblivious of the fact that, these things are vanity. Psalm 24: 1-5 states:
“The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein for he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart, who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitful. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation”.

When you hear that Jesus Christ cursed some people at the temple and chased them away, you should not misconstrue the temple to mean the created structure, for the temple in this case, refers to people’s heart. Our Lord Jesus Christ having seen that the Jews had a great lust for the things of the world decided to flush such lust out from the people. So beloved, always come here with a pure heart, to avoid being beaten, as Jesus did to the Jews. We have been told that the worldly people always think of the carnal things and that, being carnally minded is dead while being spiritually minded, is life and peace. There is no worldly person who has peace and hope for the Kingdom of God because their hearts are filled with carnal thoughts and desires. We are taught that, the eyes of the Lord are always on the righteous. This is to prove to you that God needs nothing carnal but heavenly things that are righteous. The carnally minded human beings would never bow down to God till eternity and cannot please Him because they are at all times waging war against God. Now that you request things forcefully from the Father, does it mean that the Father is your mate? Those who claim that God is not in existence are the carnally minded people because their thoughts can never allow them to think anything good. On the other hand, a spiritually minded person would always be glorifying, fearing and respecting God because his thoughts always reflect the heavenly things.

This Kingdom is the one dreamt about by King Nebuchadnezzar and interpreted by Daniel, the Prophet. Most Britons in the olden days were seeking where God was worshipped without carnal desires and thoughts to the extent that, they bought a piece of land in West Indies and dwelt there. Americans on the other hand, has become the land of Satan where violence, vices and sins dwell. Lucifer has conquered America and is ruling over it.

THE VIRTOUS KINGDOM
It is only humility that is needed in the Kingdom of God That is the reason why you are enjoined to humble yourself so that God may exalt you. Here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, we do not worship any other thing, but God; God has come by Himself into the world. That is the reason why humility, the celestial attribute should be possessed by those who so wish to be enlisted into the Kingdom. God dwells in us, and does not need anything defiled. As a result it is incumbent on every member of this Kingdom to purge himself of anything that defiles the body. Having been defiled, God is bound to leave you empty, because He does not dwell in defiled places. One of our Publications, THE FIRST STEP TO GOD stresses the need for us to stop beating of drums, burning of candles and incense, and clapping of hands. These things do not glorify God, hence we are told to do away with them. Your duty on earth is to glorify, honor and fear God. It is imperative that you shun violence and segregation and embrace love for one another. The Bible has told us that, anyone who wishes to be friendly with the world, is God’s foe, and the moment you are friendly with God, you have automatically become an enemy of the world. The Americans are friendly with the world by trying to invent things extraordinary, and as such they are God’s foe and have failed. If out of your desire for one to come into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, you advise a person to put on his shoes and come into the hall, you have failed, because you are friendly with the world, but an enemy to God. So beloved, do not be deceived by anybody, because we are those that worship God both in spirit and in truth. Read the first lesson again:

FIRST LESSON: REVELATION 11: 15
“And the seventh angel sounded, and there were great voices in heaven, saying, the Kingdom of this world are become the Kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever”.

BROTHERHOOD, THE KINGDOM OF GOD
Where is the Kingdom referred to as the Kingdom of God and His Christ? It is Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. In the past years, you were indulging in various sins like falsehood, immoralities, drunkenness and the like, but today, the reverse is the case, because you have been changed completely by the Father. Those who indulge in sins ceaselessly are of the world and are in the Kingdom of the world. But having been called into this Kingdom, you are exposed to the Divine Teachings of God, and being baptized with water, you have been changed completely. By this time, you are suitable to be addressed as a child of God in the New Kingdom of God and His Christ. All the things written in the Holy Bible are exclusively about man, and not any other creature. The most important aspect of it, is how and why man should be changed from his sinful state to the way of rectitude. A man can only be changed if he possesses all the virtues of God, which in fact informs the reason why the Father always enjoins us to possess love, peace and other virtues.

The people of the past generations were very adamant to the words of God and could not hearken to the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Sequel to the fact that He found people not regarding His teachings, He said:
“I have yet may things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now, Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth; for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak; and he will shew you things to come. St. John 16: 12-13.

The said Holy Spirit of truth is now in your midst. We are told that, knowledge makes one to be proud and pompous, but love leads man unto righteousness. For instance, it was as a result of the knowledge, which our first parents professed to have possessed that they became proud and ate of the forbidden fruit. Unfortunately, it was after they had eaten of the said forbidden fruit that their problems and hardship emanated. The lifestyles exhibited by the people of the world are counterfeit for they are carnally minded. This explains why confusion and untold hardship manipulate the world, as there is no love, peace, fear and respect for God. As a result of this, the people of the world claim that, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members are fearing and worshipping man, instead of joining them to enjoy life.

When the foundation of the world was yet to be made Brotherhood of the Cross and Star was in existence. All the material things like clothing, shoes, cars, houses etc, are newly introduced into the world just as stealing, falsehood, immoralities and the like, are also newly introduced into the world. But today, people are complaining that, restrictions are too many in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. However, the truth is that, whoever is not destined to be here, cannot be here, as said by Our Lord Jesus Christ in St. Matthew 15: 13. “But he answered and said, every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up” Sequel to the above text, every body should know that the Father is here on earth, just for the purpose of uprooting the counterfeit life style which the people of the world are indulging in.

Some time ago, the inhabitants in different parts of the world were using different commodities as money, until recently when people started having their own currency. The entire inhabitants of the world are carnally minded; they always long to acquire one material thing or the other. There is nobody in the world that is truthful. Do not think that the Father’s assignment here on earth is to pray for you to acquire the material things of this world. The Father is here to aid you change from your sinful ways to the way of rectitude.

The world had since perished; for that reason, the Father found it imperative to come to the world personally in order to change man from sinfulness to righteousness. If you listen to the testimony that one Brother always render, you would have known that the entire world is empty. If Brother Amadi who has a doctorate degree in religion and philosophy, and lives in the United Kingdom for years, should proclaim that, all the Universities are empty and without knowledge, one should then realize that, the whole world is empty and without knowledge. This is to show you that, God uses the little or relegated things to disgrace the big or exalted things. The knowledge of the world is not required here in the Kingdom. God is not a white, therefore the English language you boast of speaking very well, is insignificant. For this reason I always tell you to compose every song in your local dialect. Humility is not learnt but it is inert but pride and arrogance are learnt and practiced. So, know from here that, humility is godly and heavenly, while pride and arrogance are earthly, carnally and counterfeit.

Mankind was given every plant with seed for food, but today, you are eating falsehood, immoralities and drunkenness. Would you say that the things you eat are the food you were meant to eat? Our Father, Abraham engaged in cattle rearing and farming. The trade by barter system of exchange of the past is still in vogue in the world. That is the reason why you see one country exporting what it has in abundance to other countries who are in need of such goods and commodities, and in return, imports what she does not have. This is of no use at all. If people were to emulate our Father, Abraham, there would have been much food for all. And there would not have been any problem in the world. The fact that mankind has refused to eat the food (fruit) which he was meant to eat the different diseases and illnesses will continue to plague them. But, whoever eats the correct food as prescribed by God cannot become aged and cannot complain of any stomach ache, for the fruit you eat is the flesh of Our Lord Jesus Christ. But so long as you have failed to abide by the injunctions of God regarding the food you eat, Genesis 1:29 you will continue to have various problems.

SHUN MATERIALISM
The material things of this world are enslaving most people, yet they are still vowing not to bow down for anything made by man. Have you now seen the extent to which the people of the world are stupid? God deserted Adam and Eve due to fornication (defiling God’s dwelling place). So beloved, for God to dwell in you forever, you need to keep yourself holy. It is immorality that killed our first parents, Adam and Eve. If you care to be saved, you need to shun immoralities; for a child who walks circumspectly would kill what killed his father, but a child who does not walk circumspectly would be killed by what killed his father. Immorality is so dreadful a sin that, Christ commented on it thus:
And Jesus answering said unto them, the children of this world marry, and are given in marriage. But they, which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. Neither can they die any more. For they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. St. Luke 20: 34-36

You would know that there are three categories of eunuchs as recorded in St. Matthew 19: 12.
“For they are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mothers womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men; and there are eunuchs, which have made them self eunuchs for the Kingdoms of heaven’s sake, he that is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
Eve was married to Adam and they begot children but at a later time, Adam decided not to be intimate with Eve any longer. He decided to remain undefiled a eunuch from that time. With that attempt, God helped Adam to get rid of the lust of a woman, and from that time till the period of 930 years which he (Adam) lived on earth, he interacted as a brother with his wife, Eve. The people of the world however, have rejected this good example. They can do anything to be intimate with women from their date of birth to the date of death. And the women too are not left out of this unwholesome act. Note that the main aim of keeping a woman and man as the case may be is to procreate. But today, men and women have changed this course to something else; this is the source of their problems. Immorality gives birth to cases of abortion in the world. This unhealthy phenomenon has claimed lives of some promising youths in both advanced countries and the developing ones. But the question is, why do man indulge in immoralities? Let it be known that, immorality cannot avail you anything, instead, it kills. Immorality demarcates man from God, because God had earlier enjoined us that, we should be holy, else, He would not dwell in us but that, He would desert us. Presently, God is waging a war against sins and this is the Armageddon war, which you had been hearing about. The aim of this war is to eradicate sins and evils from His dwelling place. Once God succeeds in this war, man will then be fit for God to dwell in.
But for God, no other person can change a fellow man. Healing the sick is an easy task but the ultimate work one can boast of, is to change mankind from sinfulness to righteousness. That is the reason why I always bring to your notice that the government wages war against indiscipline, while Brotherhood of the Cross and Star wages war against sins. This Kingdom of God is holy and should be kept holy. That is why it is incumbent on every member of this fold to abide by the injunctions of the Father and purge himself from sins and embrace every virtue of God. The Father has conquered Satan in the Armageddon war. Hitherto, Satan ruled you, but now the Father has come, conquered Satan and has drawn His people to Himself. Having been brought into this Kingdom, you have to do away with sins as best you could.

THE PARADISE LOST, REGAINED
After creation, man and animals co-existed in harmony. There was no issue of one killing the other for meat or in self-defense. But as time went on, man started treating the other creatures ruthlessly. Consequently, the hostility spread to all the other Kingdom like the fish, birds, reptiles etc. the animals on their part, in self defense started killing man at sight. The original order of life as designed by God was about peaceful co-existence in love and oneness. This was however destroyed by man due to his lust and wickedness. Now, I have peace and oneness to the world. Before now, mankind had completely deviated from the rule of love and created artificial code of life based on segregation, differences and wickedness. You now allocate names and titles to yourselves, as a mark of superiority over another. Have you not witnessed the gradual fall of the kingdom of the world and also the rapid growth of the kingdom of God? The entire system of the world is in shambles and confusion.
What prevails now on earth is love. The love of one another is the law in force now. No sinner is granted entry into this Kingdom because it is exclusively for the righteous. The beneficiaries of the kingdom have been granted profound peace and joy in the whole of their lives. All the children of God have every cause to eschew sins and live in love and righteousness. This is the time of joy for all the children of God. Where in this world can you see a group of people say, up to five hundred in number in a particular gathering without rancor and violence even with the presence of law enforcement agents? But here in this Kingdom, no matter the number of people and the size of the gathering, we are always in unison, love and peace, devoid of any form of violence. In spite of this, we do not employ the services of law agencies to protect both property and people.
Where in the whole world apart from Brotherhood, the Kingdom of God, can you see both the rich and the poor eat together and drink from the same cup? Here, you have professors, Royal Highnesses, Commissioners, Lawyers, Doctors, Artisans etc, share everything in common. We do not segregate nor discriminate at all. In short, as the whole world is gradually being united in peace, love and righteousness, segregation, stealing, murder, gossip, blasphemy etc, are replaced by virtues of God. In other words, in the nearest future vice shall be completely eradicated and replaced by virtues of God. Have you not experienced a remarkable change in your life in Brotherhood? This is exclusively the working of the Holy Spirit. Read the second Bible lesson once again:

SECOND LESSON: HEBREWS 12: 28
“Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear”.

CHRIST: THE EPITOME OF HUMILITY
Brethren, have you now realized the reason why you should serve God wholeheartedly? You should at all times avoid living a sinful life and embrace righteousness for the sake of gaining this Kingdom. In the past, you were ignorant of this knowledge hence Christ said that, all those who came before Him were thieves and robbers. St. John 10: 8. Of all the prophets of old and those that came in the name of the Lord, Our Lord Jesus Christ was the only begotten of God. Those who were before Him neither know God nor imbibed His Divine words. They were all projecting their personal glory. If you should recall, you would realize that, of all the people that were baptized by John, it was only Our Lord Jesus Christ who got the Holy Spirit. At the completion of the baptism, the Holy Spirit descended upon Him and was declared the beloved Son of God. St. Matthew 3: 17 He is the only one who baptizes man with the Holy Spirit and with the spoken words. The people of the world could not understand Him because of the state of their sinfulness. Christ was the epitome of humility. He demonstrated absolute humility to the people in all He did. Throughout His 33 years on earth, lived a complete righteous life devoid of blemish. Therefore, as a follower of Christ, it is not performing His word that is important but it is for you to emulate His lifestyle to the letter. You should copy His meekness, humility, self control, kindness and selfless service to humanity. He did not quarrel with any man. All His services were rendered free. He treated everybody equally. He did not impute sin to any man rather, His main concern centered on the welfare and salvation for all. Throughout His ministry, He was not heard in the streets.

Your life as a member of Brotherhood should project you as a light in any community you find yourself. You should not do anything that is capable of dragging the name of God in the mud. When you fornicate, kill, steal, hate, fight, quarrel, discriminate or sow the seed of discord, you have soiled the name of God. There is nothing else that God expects from you apart from holiness. You cannot build a house for Him, for He does not live in a house built by man, after all, heaven and earth belong to Him. Everything under the sun belongs to God. It is left for you to subject yourself to the dictate of the Holy Spirit so that He can take over your whole life. You are the house of God; God has no other dwelling place. So, if you give up yourself to the dictate of the evil spirit due to your sinfulness, you have yourself to blame for rendering your Creator homeless. You should purge yourself of any trace of evil. Whenever you say, ‘LET’, the devil will surely depart from you.

Forward ever and backward never as all hands must be on deck towards the glory of God. Once God makes His abode in you, you have overcome the world and things would take a new turn in your life. Under such condition, you would be thinking about the salvation of others and your life would be centered on God. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is the Kingdom of God on earth long expected.
The people of the world rejoice and boast of their horses and chariots, but we in this Kingdom are joyous and boastful in the sense that we are saved. Our joy is in Our Lord Jesus Christ that was nailed to the cross for the salvation of man. We are not interested in the material things of this world but in the Kingdom of God. Our goal is in righteousness, peace, and everlasting joy. Everlasting life is also our goal. It is quite true that a seed of maize cannot yield fruits except it is sown and finally germinates. When it grows, it yields plenty of fruits. Have you not seen that Christ has yielded many fruits today? He is now heard and worshipped all over the world. His name has spread to wherever man is found. None can deny the existence of God today. With the presence of God, His children are at liberty to spread the good tidings of their Father’s Kingdom throughout the world. Satan has therefore buried himself in shame. Satan has nothing to do with the creation of man nor can he provide life. Therefore, why should Satan mislead man? You should realize that the most powerful weapon that Satan dreads is the word of God. Whenever you preach the word, Satan is bound to take to his heels. There is much joy in this Kingdom among the children of God. There is a very big gulf between the children of Brotherhood and the world. Here in the Kingdom, we do not drink, fornicate, loot, defraud, gossip, nor live according to the prompting of the flesh. We do not practice what is preached and regarded by the world. We live in unity, oneness and love because of the existence of God in our midst.

THE DWELLING PLACE OF GOD
In times past, God did not have a place to lay His head. He had no house just as it is written:
“And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man hath no where to lay his head. St. Matthew 8: 20”.

Our Lord Jesus Christ lacked a place to lay His head because man had defiled himself, thereby ejecting God from His house. But today, the situation is different. The dwelling place of God is now with men and it ever remains unshakable. Many people who have now come to the realization of this fact have abandoned the world and baptized into Brotherhood. That is the reason why the people of the world keep on wondering what the Father has given to you to keep you in the Kingdom. They are surprised to see the influx of people into the Kingdom. Some of the men from the world who mistakenly think that they could use their wealth to entice some sisters in the fold for marriage are easily rebuffed whenever they approach them. Being so surprised at this, they become confused. For this reason, they are greatly confused and believed strongly that, there is something secret in this Kingdom. The only secret that is still hidden to them is absolute righteousness. The real meaning of the term, ‘the new lease of life’, as used in this Kingdom is quite different from what is understood by the world. It is because of this ignorance that the children of Brotherhood often express their sympathy to the people of the world. The people are merely awaiting the impending doom that would befall them.

I have completely changed you (members of Brotherhood) from all manners of sin. You are now counted worthy in the sight of God. You are now living a life devoid of vice. It is therefore your duty to teach the people of the world what I have taught you so that, they too might be partakers of the glory of this Kingdom.
He, who is in you, has taken complete dominion over your entire life. You can no more experience poverty, sorrow, weeping, gnashing of teeth and lamentation. Also, you need not be guided by anyone because the Supernatural Teacher is in you. He is the one who teaches and directs you in all matters. Everything under the sun has been brought under total subjection. Be rest assured that joy, peace, prosperity and every good thing has been restored to you. The reign of Christ is for eternity, for there will be no other Kingdom apart from Brotherhood of the Cross and Star forever.
The promise of God is now fulfilled in this generation. He has written down His laws in our hearts and has forgiven our sins. You have been intimated of everything about the Kingdom. Therefore, you should not be in doubt of anything at all. Have you seen that the Lord is merciful to your un-righteousness? This was the covenant made to us several generations ago. Read Hebrews 8: 10-12. In appreciation, you have to reverence God and give Him His due glory. So beloved, since God has taken dominion of your entire body, you should refrain completely from all manners of sinfulness, so that He will continue to abide in you. He is the sole provider of everything you need. You have been advised:

“Follow peace with all men and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” Hebrews 12: 14.

God is immortal and all that follow Him are equally immortal. Any man who wants to see the glory of God should refrain from all manners of sin and be baptized in to the Kingdom in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. If you do this, you will surely see the glory of God. You have been charged to go from house to house office to office, market to market, throughout the world to preach the gospel. Wherever you go to, your presence alone is enough to scare away every diabolical thing. In the real sense, it is not the wish of the people to commit sins. Many are compelled into sinful acts as a result of the spirit in them and above all, put a deaf ear to the sound teaching. Therefore, it is your charge as soldiers of God to meet the people face to face and impart to them the sound and recondite teachings of the Holy Spirit. They should receive the word of God and accept baptism. By so doing, they will surely gain salvation. If they accept this, the Holy Spirit will be infused into the bottom of their hearts. Read our golden text once again:

GOLDEN TEXT: REVELATION 21: 27
“And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie; but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life”.

WE ARE CHOSEN
It is said, many are called but few are chosen St. Matthew 20: 16. If you decide to give yourself any name or you continue to flirt from one church denomination to the other, without practicing the laid down principles as observed in this Kingdom, you are merely groping in the dark. You have read from our golden text that, there shall in no wise enter into it, anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie but they which are written in the lamb’s book of life. One is not considered worthy in the sight of God on the basis of bodily beauty, the amount of wealth possessed, but the level of righteousness attained. In order to be counted worthy, you must refrain from vices, you must love your fellow man, love God, show reverence to Him and glorify His holy name. If you have any bit of sin in you, you are not qualified for this Kingdom.

None has ever come into this Kingdom and led by the Holy Spirit without testifying about the presence of God. As soon as you come in here, even before you slip into the ‘Beautiful Gate’, the first thing that strikes you is the presence of God. As soon as you surrender yourself to Him, your problems will be completely taken away. Brotherhood has nothing to do with sinners. For you to be qualified for this Kingdom, you have to be free from sin. In this Kingdom, we do not marry nor are given in marriage. But, whoever had married before now should remain as though he is single. What we are after is brotherly love. Disassociate yourself completely from the lust for materialism in order to be able to serve your Creator wholeheartedly.

Brethren, a stroke of a cane is enough for the wise, may God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

THANK YOU FATHER.

EVERLASTING GOSPEL DELIVERED BY THE HOLY FATHER, LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER AND SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE (WHQ) BCS 34 AMBO ST CALABAR NIGERIA

“A KINGDOM WITHIN MAN”

FIRST LESSON: ST. LUKE 17: 20-21
“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the Kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, the Kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! For, behold, the Kingdom of God is within you”.

SECOND LESSON: ST. MATTHEW 6: 19-21
“Lay not up for yourselves treasurers upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasurers in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt. And where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also”.

GOLDEN TEXT: ST. LUKE 20: 35-36
“But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. Neither can they die any more; for they are equal unto the angels; and are children of God, being the children of the resurrection”.
THE CHILDREN OF GOD HAVE ARRIVED
Beloved, you should read that pamphlet titled, “MY MISSION” and you will realize that I have already established the Kingdom. What is left is for you to preach about these good tidings of great joy. Christ spoke about the coming of the Kingdom. That Kingdom is here now. Have you not seen the Kingdom? Are the children of God not here? My mission is to teach, exhort and establish the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom has been revealed unto everybody. Can you deny knowledge of this? You were told about the coming of the Holy Spirit. Has He not arrived?
Do not go out and preach Olumba but preach about the Father and the Kingdom of God and any one who is in doubt should come and see things for himself. Remember the brother from Germany who donated a bus to the Father. Some years ago, I advised you to tighten your belts and guide your possessions in this Kingdom jealously, today have you not seen what is happening? You used to struggle to offer prayers here but now, do you still have chance to pray here? You claim to be a pastor and so you are the right person to pray how dare you lay claim to such position? When you claim to be a chief security officer what can you secure?
The Father is the only teacher, the instructor, the guard and everything you can think of. The Kingdom of God is like the mustard seed, when planted, it germinates and grows into a very big tree and brings forth fruits and the birds of the air go there in their numbers to feed and build their nests on its branches. Have you not seen the manifestation of the parable here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star? When you claim to be preaching, what are you preaching when you continue to steal and lead a life of sin daily? This is the Kingdom, which was expected long ago. Tell the world that the Father finally establishes that Kingdom.
Christ charged you to go and tell them that the Kingdom is at hand. But I command you to tell them that the Kingdom is here. Tell the people to come and see the oneness in the Kingdom as practiced by God’s children at 26 Mbukpa Road, Calabar, Nigeria. The disciples asked Our Lord Jesus Christ when the Kingdom would come. He told them that the Kingdom will not come with signs so that man may behold it here or there, but it is within you. We have seen the manifestation of the Kingdom in this generation. Even the whites have seen it or how could that brother from Germany send a bus to us? The Indians, the Russians, the Americans and indeed every nation is aware of the manifestation of the Kingdom of God, and if you claim ignorant of this then you must be joking.

There is no more time for jokes. Cars, ships, planes and other means of transportation will soon be sent in their numbers. This is the time of joy. There is joy in heaven, and in all planes of manifest. The children of God have arrived. Their pews will soon be fully occupied by children of God from all races. Whatever your assignment, pursue that vigorously but realize that children of God have arrived and it is their duty to pray always. No other person is authorized to pray here for God does not hear the prayer of a sinner. These children are those to pray and break loose the chains of evil because they are the mouthpiece of God. All you now need to do is to store your treasure here as those brethren from Germany have done.

The time for you to behave irrationally is gone. The Kingdom of God is now manifested here on earth. You do not need to gaze into the sky any more. God is here on earth with us. You have to move from house to house and spread this good news. The money you used to spend on women of easy virtue and other irrelevant things should now be channeled into the service of God. We have got a New World that cannot be corrupt and when you commit yourself to the up-keep of these children, your salvation is guaranteed. Irrespective of your status and position, you must be concerned about the welfare of the children of God. We are all part and parcel of this Kingdom. Let your mind, your love, and all you are be in this Kingdom because we are all saved.
Be informed that the dwelling place of God is now with men and God shall be our Father and we shall be His people. God does not deceive and He cannot be deceived, even till eternity. That is the promise of God and that is why Christ taught us to pray and say ‘Our Father, who is in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven…’ The long expected Kingdom has come as requested. Therefore you have to rejoice about this and lead a good and righteous life, forsaking all manners of unruly behaviors. All the things Christ testified about are now fulfilled. Therefore our joy is made full. Read the first lesson:

FIRST LESSON: ST. LUKE 17: 20-21
“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the Kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said the kingdom cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or Lo, there! For, behold the Kingdom of God is within you”.

WE ARE ONE
All the while, the world was waiting to see the children of God. Right from the time of Adam, man has been waiting to see the prophecies of the Kingdom coming to manifestation, that the dwelling of God will be with men and God their Father and man, the people of God. This has been revealed thousands of years ago. Men have waited anxiously for this to happen but in vain. But almost when all hopes were lost the redeemer appeared. It is stated that none will perish except the child of perdition, and there is no child of perdition in your midst, everyone is in his position. Isaiah and all others are in their position and the Son of God is in His position. Therefore, do not be worried over anything, because God has come to keep each of us in our respective positions. Wherever the mother-goad is accommodated will also accommodate the little one. If we rejoice in the children of God and accept them with one mind, then we are equally qualified as the children of God. If we deposit our wealth in this Kingdom, then our hearts will be here for we all are here as one.
Discard the idea of giving out your money in pursuit of mundane and frivolous things, rather, concentrate in the service of God. Since we have been opportune to have the Kingdom as ours, you should live a life that is in keeping with the teachings of the Holy Spirit. This is an everlasting insurance scheme and once you insure yourself and property in it, they you are saved. The children of God are now found everywhere and once you rejoice with them and commit yourself to the service of God, they you will not have problems. Let all your hope and faith be in God, love these children, and you will be saved.
When the two angels sent to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah went into the house of Abraham, as he entertained them, they told him about their mission. Abraham told them that his cousin, Lot lived there and then asked if they, the (angels) saw about a hundred righteous men whether they would destroy the cities. The angels said no. Abraham reduced the number to five and the angels accepted to save the cities even with that low number. Unfortunately, they could not find any righteous person that was why the cities were destroyed. But today, the reverse is the case because the children of God are here in numbers and so, the Kingdom of the world have become the Kingdom of Jehovah God and His Christ. Thus, our joy is full.
Do not lament because you are not a virgin, but you are a brother or sister of God. However, because of your faith in this Kingdom, and the joy that you express in these children the whole world is saved. There is only one Shepherd and the flock is equally one. Read the second lesson again.

SECOND LESSON: ST. MATTHEW 6: 19-21
“Lay not up for yourselves treasurers upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal; But lay up for yourselves treasurers in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also”.

THE SPIRITUAL INSURANCE
The above constitutes a wonderful advice. The entire humanity is invited to come and receive this gospel of salvation. Do not continue in your unruly ways of life. Let all your treasure be deposited here in this Kingdom of God, for nothing can break into and steal neither could moth consume. Whoever deposits his wealth here is equally saved. Any faith without work dies a natural death. Abraham was saved through righteousness, which was occasioned by faith. Therefore, every person is saved through the faith he has in this Kingdom.

Everyone must contribute to the upkeep of these children of God every first Sunday of the month. This is incumbent on all inhabitants of this world. The brethren from overseas donated one hundred thousand naira (N100, 000.00) and a bus Bro. Ime Akpakpan donated a car and different people have donated different things and because of this we received salvation, for it is stated that it will be through the child that the parents get salvation. Do not lament over the fact that you are not a virgin. Forsake sins, stop telling lies, do not steal again, or commit fornication, love one another, rejoice in these children of God and have the fear of God in you, then you will be saved. Any other thing you may do will be of little benefit but when you keep your treasure in this Kingdom, the benefit is immeasurable.
The Kingdom of God has been revealed unto you, the Kingdom is the children of God. Once you think of doing any good thing to these children, you will have eternal peace. You will be promoted your family and community will be saved. One brother has decided to build a house for these children at Biakpan and before these children left here to Biakpan on pilgrimage, the Biakpan community decided that no Biakpan indigent should go to anywhere but should stay at home to receive them. This was to fulfill the nomination that as many as receive Him gives He the right to be the children and see to their upkeep. Your salvation is guaranteed but if you fail, claiming to have established a church, or have entertained strangers, have fasted and prayed, healed or give vision then you have not started.
Rejoice with the children of God and tell the world that the Kingdom, which Christ talked about, has finally arrived. With their mere passing through any place, peace will ensue and in no distant time you will see what Calabar will become. No date has been fixed but it must come to pass. This is the time to support the children of God and by doing this, your ways are perfected. Your farms bring good yields, your businesses flourish, you have promotion in your working places and finally you receive eternal salvation and nobody oppresses you anymore.

DO AWAY WITH SIN
King David wanted to build a house for the worship of God but God told him not to do it because his hands were full of blood. It is not going on ministry work that is the matter, but the main thing is to forsake sins. God does not listen to the prayer of a sinner but whoever practices the injunctions of God, the same has his prayers answered by God and God equally use the prayers of one faithful man to save the whole world. No matter how the inhabitants of the world pray, with their idols in their houses, God does not hear them but the moment one person who walks according to the prompting of the Holy Spirit prays, everything is accomplished. Up till this day, it is Our Lord Jesus Christ who makes intercession for the whole world. God did not hear all other prayers. If you read the book of Revelation chapter five, you will see about the prayers of the Saints and only the prayer of Christ was used to salvage the whole world. And now, you have the one who speaks and his prayers are answered as the Kingdom of this world have become the kingdom of Jehovah God and His Christ.
The world is saved and the joy of the entire humanity is great. We now have hope, faith and love and we are no more condemned. We have only this one Kingdom and all the angels, spirits, all creatures in water, on the earth and waters, beneath the earth are all in it. Do not sow the seed of division; do not say you are from this Bethel or that. Do not claim to belong to one race or another and stop praying for particular places, for this one Kingdom is sufficient unto all of us.
You have heard how all the believers during the era of Our Lord Jesus Christ shared everything in common and till now; we are still in the same Kingdom where we have to share everything in common. For those who do not forsake sins, if you go out and tell somebody that the Kingdom of God has arrived, where is the sign of this Kingdom in you? Where is your faith?

The wise men, when they received the revelation of the birth of Christ, traveled for two years before getting to Bethlehem. And when they arrived, they inquired where the newborn King was, for they had traveled to worship Him. When they finally located Him, they worshipped Him and presented gifts unto Him. They were in this same Kingdom of God. Wherever the children of God visit, everywhere is illumined. At Edo State, they have living quarters. Their activities are quite distinct from that of others. They do not drink the water you drink; they do not eat the food you eat; they do not talk the way you do; they do not dress the way we do because they are quite a distinct set of people. The song they sing, you are witnesses to the difference; even the way they walk. When they shall start to go out you will see what will happen at any place they will land. Just one anthem they render will redeem everybody and all fetish things are completely wiped out. This is what they have come to do. This happening was prophesied long ago and this is its manifestation. Read the golden text again:

GOLDEN TEXT: ST. LUKE 20: 35-36
“But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage; Neither can they die anymore; for they are equal unto the angels; and are children of God being the children of the resurrection”.

THE ABORIGINES
Those who own this Kingdom were not known but now this has been revealed. It is said locally that it is the food that a sick man loves that he eats even to the grave. And so the fornication you are regarding as your hobby, the stealing, telling of lies and the unseeming ways you used to exhibit will not lead you to any good place in this Kingdom. These children have nothing to do with any sin and they are not under any law. No drinking here, no anger no lies, no stealing, no fornication and adultery, no love of money or material things because they are the children of resurrection and they are the children of God. Because of what they do, they are qualified to inherit this Kingdom. This happens to fulfill the nomination that they that die with Christ will resurrect with Him and when they resurrect with Him, they will live with Him.
The children of God will go to America, Russia, India, among other countries. They will equally enter all parts of the world to perfect things. There is no more division in the whole world.

It is stated that those who would be counted worthy of inheriting this world neither marry nor are given in marriage. They do not have anything to do with idolatry, no business with court actions, planting of farms or engaging in other activities. They do not contest for anything and they have no business with sins. Their duty is to do the work of God. Their songs constitute vision, testimonies, and indeed, everything about them constitutes the words of God. They have nothing to do with carnal tendencies. Therefore, do not go and discuss any material things with them.
Recollect the testimony of sister Ekpo about one brother who was baptized into Brotherhood but later went back and engaged in the carnal things. In the course of this, he lost his wife and problems struck him from every angle. She said when the children of God went to Biakpan and prayed for him, everything became normal and she reconciled with brother Ekpo who incidentally is his elder brother. She said that the brother testified that since the day the children of God visited them at Biakpan, his eyes were opened and that he had done away with all his fetish objects because he had nothing to do with them anymore. This is why I told you that the coming of these children means salvation unto the entire world. There is no place they will not enter; even your house will be visited by them and all the fetish things you used your money to acquire will be swept away and burnt by them.
The Biakpan chiefs, who went to receive them with caps on their head, had those caps thrown away by the children of God. Just as Christ did with the money doublers in the temple of God. They did the same to the Biakpan Chiefs who apologized for not knowing that such is not permitted. The children have no business with any material thing and they do not look at anybody’s face. Therefore let us thank the Father because the work of darkness is over and everywhere is illumined by the radiance of their light.

At Ohafia, one of the Royal Highness told the children of God to appeal to the Father to send them to the Head of State because the type of song they render can change anybody’s mind and with that, the whole world will be in peace. These are words of prophecy though he was not aware that it has already taken place. Anywhere the children of God are, they are before the throne of God. This is why we have every reason to rejoice because in this generation, we have seen the manifestation of the Kingdom of God.

Do not go to them with your fornication spirit, if you have them tempted, as a tempter, be ready to bear the consequence of your temptation. Do not seek to be a child of God, if your name was not there before the foundation of the world was laid.
Nothing unruly is wanted because there must be one flock under the control of one shepherd. But everyone should be contented in his position and honor such a position and repent of his sins. But commit all your wealth into the service of God in this Kingdom. Lead a life commensurate to your calling because there is no more division in the world; no man, no woman and we are all one as children of God.
Stop jumping from post to pillar for such things are not required here in this Kingdom. All the members of this Kingdom must surrender themselves to God. Do not look at the children of God as little children, for they are great spiritually. That is why no visionary, pastor, student or Christ Servant can go near their pew except you allow them to lead you. If you are not in spirit, you can not understand who they are. As you used to behave irrationally, realize that such is not what God wants and the time for that licentiousness is over. It is their duty to teach the pastors, the bishops, the Christ Servants and students and all groups of persons found on earth. They have established the Kingdom and everything about them is one, one common purse, one mind, one tongue and one behavior.

It is said that a stroke of cane is enough for the wise. He who has ears should hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the world. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

THANK YOU FATHER

“ABSTAIN FROM FORNICATION”

1st Lesson: 1 Corinthians 10: 8
“Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.”

2nd Lesson: 1 Corinthians 6: 18
“Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.”

Golden Text: 1 Corinthians 3: 16-18
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is Holy, which temple ye are. Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.”
Brethren, that is the theme of our revelation this night. It seems to Me that you have listened attentively to this vision and prophecy. If we had examined ourselves, we would not have been judged by God. But when He judges us, He chastises us so that we may not be condemned with the world. God had never tempted us because man cannot be tempted of God. But every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his lust and enticed. It is said that a child who walks circumspectly will subdue what destroyed his father but a child who walks carelessly will be killed by what had killed his father. You are very much aware of the cause of Adam’s death. It is that same thing which killed Adam and Eve, our first father and mother that is causing great confusion and commotion in the whole world today.

FORNICATION IS DEADLY SIN
Even the children of Israel were subdued and killed by this dreadful sin on their way from Egypt to the Promised Land. You have been told in the Scriptures that a total of 600,000 Israelites of 21 years old and above were delivered and brought out of Egypt excluding women and children, but only two persons finally reached the Promised Land. Why? This sad situation was caused by fornication. You have been told that a total of 23,000 people died in one day because of fornication. They died not because of lies, stealing or any other sin but because of the sin of fornication. All these things happened unto them for example and they are written for our admonition, upon when the ends of the world are come so that we may not indulge in the sin of fornication, and suffer death. If you like pray, but prayer cannot prompt God to change this situation. If Adam and Eve, our first parents were driven away from the Garden of Eden and they subsequently died because of the sin of fornication, what do you think of yourself?

All the difficulties we are experiencing today and through which the world will continue to suffer, are not caused by any other sin but fornication. Luckily for the world, I have come to realize that they do not regard fornication as anything sinful. Even as I am delivering this gospel, most people are conversing; some are sleeping while others are singing. Nobody considers fornication a dreadful sin. Neither women nor men count it sinful to commit fornication. You want God to give you life, money, husband, wife but entirely forgetting about asking God to destroy the instinct of promiscuity and fornication in you completely so that you may live a righteous and pure life unto Him.

THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MAN
God has no other house except the human body. The tabernacle of God is with men. God does not dwell in any other thing but man is the home of God. If Adam and Eve did not fornicate, troubles and afflictions would not have come upon the world. As you heard in the morning, God is a spirit and He has come to lead. He has come to teach, and to direct.
He is the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. The pertinent question is where does He dwell? He dwells in the heart of men. Another significant question is can a fornicator dwell with Him, or can the Almighty God dwell in the heart of a fornicator? The answer is No! Anybody, who through the sin of fornication, defiles God’s Temple, him, will God destroy. If you commit fornication, you have disappointed God and that house automatically is useless and stands condemned. This is because fornication amounts to urinating, and passing faeces in God’s temple, and His great hope of dwelling in man is defeated consequently the house has to be condemned and destroyed since it is not fit for habitation. Beloved brethren, if we had known that whatever sin we commit is without the body but when we fornicate we defile the temple of God, we would have forsaken earthly lusts and abstain completely from fornication. The most dreadful dilemma about fornication is that people of all ages, races, creed and religions are involved. If you scan through the entire population of the world right from children to the adult, no one is free from committing fornication.
Men and women of diverse backgrounds, whether a chief, king, president, governor or academician, poor and, or a robber are all neck deep in fornication. Preachers, soothsayers, doctors, traders, women have turn round to practice and patronise it nicely. Some people would stand up and declare how committed they are in the service of the Almighty God, when they are fornicating seriously. And I ask is fornicating synonymous with serving God?

FLEE FORNICATION
Whoever commits fornication has no fellowship with Our Lord Jesus Christ and has got no share in this Kingdom. He does not gather with Our Lord Jesus Christ but scatters abroad. There is no other sin more painful to God than fornication. To God the shame alone is debilitating. It has been revealed to us especially in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star that God does not dwell in man-made buildings, in cars, ships, or in any other thing but He lives inside the human body which is your body. It is, therefore, your onerous duty to keep this house clean in order to make it habitable for the Most High God, its builder.
Even if you fill this room with money, God is totally uninterested. If you line a bevy of girls who are immoral and defiled, take them away for God is not interested in them. If you pack a million or more handsome young men who have defiled themselves and hand them over to God to use in His vineyard, He will not use them because they are useless. But before God, only one person who maintains his purity and sanctity is greater than a million defiled people; God does not want anything from you except that you should flee fornication.

GOD WHO DWELLS IN YOU IS A SPIRIT AND INVISIBLE
Who is the person who keeps himself pure? He is the person who flees fornication. Even as your caller is holy you also must be holy in all your undertakings. It is written you must be holy because I am holy. What God requires of you, is complete abstinence from fornication: God does not require your children, house, position, book knowledge, money and motor car. He wants your body and its purity. It is a mistake and even ignorance for somebody to think of building a house for God.
Never you make such a statement again. It amounts to showing disgrace to the Almighty God. It is equally erroneous for anybody to say he wants to erect a very big cathedral to God because of His kindness to him. It is a big disgrace. Do you not realize that you are God’s temple and that He dwells in your hearts? You had been told in the morning that God is a spirit, and that the wind blows wherever it chooses but nobody knows where it comes from or where it goes. If your body is dissected, that spirit cannot be found but He is dwelling in you. He is invisible. We are His husbandry, the building of God, the city He has built. He walks about in us, and does all His things. It is said that whoever defiles this building, him will God destroy.
Adam and Eve did not commit murder, theft, prepare charms and juju but were indulging in the act of fornication. Then God was annoyed with them. That is why they were driven out of the Garden of Eden by God. All the problems and afflictions besetting the whole world are attributable to the sin of fornication. All the tooth gnashing, death, lack, diseases are due to fornication. The disappointment wrought on God is unbearable. The Comforter Himself has descended, but where is He going to dwell? The first houses, He built as Adam and Eve, where are they? The have been destroyed. It was a very sorrowful situation when God went out one day only to come back and find defiled and dilapidated buildings. That is why He cursed and drove them immediately away from His presence.

MAN IS THE CITY OF GOD, DO NOT KEEP IT UNKEMPT
After sometimes, He came back and offered Himself as a Supreme Sacrifice, using His precious Blood to wash us clean and then instructed man not to fornicate again. On His next advent, He discovers that Adam and Eve have again, in defiance of His instruction, defiled their buildings completely. I implore you to ponder over this issue. If you were the one who comes back to find this situation, how would you feel? Where then do you want Him to dwell? Because He has come to dwell with men, to live inside our bodies, in our hearts, and to move about in our bodies as His husbandry and His City.
If you have defiled this building where do you expect Him to live? You are blaming the situation on apparition, juju, witchcrafts, and man. Stop blaming these non-existent things but ask yourself this pertinent question? Have you not defiled the temple of the Most High God? Do you not demolish the temple of the Most High God? Have you not eaten the forbidden fruits which your first parents, in disobedience to God’s command, ate and died? Did God not openly told Adam that he would die, any day he tastes of that fruit because it is the fruit of the tree of good and evil?
CRUSADERS DO NOT FORNICATE
You publicly profess to be crusaders. Are you a Crusader? Why do you continue to fornicate? You also profess to be a member of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Yes you are, there is no question about it, but why do you continue to fornicate? You claim to be a real child of God, if you truly are, why do you commit and patronise fornication? Brethren, can you realise the cause of your condemnation?
This is why God has chosen this week and named it “World Wide Crusaders’ Week.” He does not require your money or any other thing of yours but He singularly wants you to shun fornicating. To keep your body undefiled, to maintain your sanctity and purity, and He will return to His house and manifest His glory at will because the human – house belongs to Him.

FORNICATION IS A GREAT WICKEDNESS AGAINST GOD
Do you not remember what happened to Joseph? If Joseph had yielded to the seduction of Potiphar’s wife and had carnal knowledge of her the children of Israel would have perished completely. To indicate to you that the children of God are always born not made, when Joseph was tempted by his master’s wife, he yielded not and asked her “How can I do this great wickedness and sin against God”? Joseph was only a slave but look at a governor’s wife in her exalted position condescending so low to ask Joseph for sexual intimacy. Can you see how satan behaves? But Joseph said, there is nobody who is greater than myself in this house, my master has entrusted everything in the house to me and put them under my care, but as for you, he has not given you to me, you are his wife. I cannot commit this hideous crime. Can you see what has happened? Potiphar has entrusted everything in the house to Joseph. So that you may know that, nothing is as painful to God even to a man as fornication and adultery. Portiphar without even an investigation into the allegation by his wife that Joseph wanted to know her carnally, immediately cast Joseph into prison. This fornication which you are joking with, is the most painful offence a person can commit against God.
Even if you can sing like a nightingale day in day out, if you do not forsake fornication, know it from Me that you have not yet started. You have not shown your preparedness even if you dry fast for a whole year, you do not eat food, drink water or take bath but continue to fornicate, your effort is in vain and indeed a waste of time. Some of you are testifying that you do not eat meat, fish, or drink wine or do any other thing contrary to God’s command, but what about “The king of Crimes” Fornication?

Have you refrained from it? Some people are generous with their wealth, undertake house to house gospel ministry, but what about this sin of fornication? Have you refrained from it? This heinous sin is what has held back the world and has spelt on its inhabitants afflictions, poverty, murder, theft, robbery, bribery, corruption, wretchedness, swindling and lamentations, and none of the above is as painful to God as fornication. As I do not want to overload you let our first lesson be read.
1st Lesson 1 Corinthians 10: 8
“Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.”

FORNICATION IS AN INSTRUMENT OF DEATH:
Have you seen death you fear? You are inviting death unto yourself as long as you continue to fornicate your fear of death not withstanding. You are always overcome with evil because you continue to fornicate.
You pray that God should take away sickness, temptation, penury, and enmity but you are fornicating. Do you not realise that fornication is the cause of sickness, temptation, penury, enmity, death and all your problems? We have a spiritual song, which says “When the Lord is with me, who can fight against me.”? Except the Lord keeps the city, the watchmen watches but in vain. Except the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain who build it. If we do not allow God to live in our hearts and we in Him, what can we do?

THE SPIRIT IS A SILENT GUEST
He is a Spirit. He is invisible but dwells in us. That is why we are advised not to commit fornication. He does not live in any house built by man. He dwells in our hearts. He lives inside our bodies. If a child is able to abstain from fornication, that child is the dwelling place of God. When you pray to God to give you money to enable you go on ministry work or give alms to the poor, I ask you, do you think God does not go on ministry work?
You are aware that when the battle is tough, the king is always the Commander-in Chief of the army, and He says you should give Him chance; you should maintain your sanctity and purity. He sent angels and they could not perform these duties. He sent His prophets they had no ability to undertake these assignments. At last He sent His only begotten Son, and man hard – heartedly crucified Him. Now, who do you want Him to send that you will not kill? Since you want to rob shoulders with God, when angels are sent down, you will send beautiful women with plaited hair and make up to them and the angels will fall. He also sent down His great prophets, and you produced beautiful women, with hairs all over their bodies, with European accents to them and they, unable to resist the temptation, yielded. Dear brethren, whenever you come across a community where a man from above is found, the people would produce beautiful women and the man would fall. When you see such a community run away from it.

Brethren, what has God done unto you? Is this the time that somebody has done to you a good thing, and you pay him back with a bad coin?

REFRAIN FROM FORNICATION
What particular sin has God committed by creating man in His own image and regarding him as His house, vineyard, city and husbandry where-in He may come and live in order to maintain His glory and honour. But you deceive yourself that you are Crusaders, you put on your white robes, you claim to be a Brotherhood, an Elder, Chorister, or Pastor, but fornication has eaten deep into your fabric. You are no more recognised. It has submerged you. Give Me a chance in your heart. Shun fornication completely. Let men and women refrain from fornication. Wait and see, in a very short moment you will see what God will use you to accomplish. Since 1960, I started announcing that I am looking for a virgin, you pay deaf ears and instead start to laugh. I want neither you nor your wealth, but virgins who have not defiled themselves.
Today, God has brought the Crusaders who are the real children of God and children with the fear of God in them, from now on, fornication has been stamped out from among you. Do you always come to God confessing that you have violated the Ten Commandments? Forget about that side. Just forsake fornication. The Father will come in and live in you. Do you remember one of the commandments, which provides remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy What is the Sabbath? It is your heart. Our Lord Jesus Christ at one occasion asserted ‘I am the Lord of the Sabbath’. If therefore you keep yourself undefiled, He will pass in and dwell therein because His dwelling place is habitable.

BROTHERHOOD DOES NOT FORNICATE
The Father deliberately invited the Crusaders so that the big log in your eyes might be removed. If you profess to be a child of God but you do not refrain from fornication, you are a deceiver. If you claim to be a Brotherhood but you persist in fornication you are a deceiver.
Any person who has resolved to serve God but does not refrain from fornication is a deceitful person. From the moment in time that God elected Paul he had no relationship with any woman throughout his life. That is why he is adjudged the most hard working of all the Apostles. For Our Lord Jesus Christ had declared that “He is a chosen vessel unto Me to bear My name before the gentiles, kings and the children of Israel.” And so Christ dwelt in him and Peter was not able to undertake the type of work he did, nor was any other person able to do it. Because he was not the one who did it by his own ability but Christ who dwelt in him. If, therefore, you refrain from fornication now, He will pass into your body and everything will be well with you. He works in such a way that you are confounded. No person can claim to do anything because he is not capable. Christ is the only worker, the only provision is that you should surrender yourself to Him and fornicate no more, be you a man or woman refrain completely from fornication and let Him pass into His house and you will be bamboozled at what He had done.
MEN AND WOMEN SHOULD LEAVE EACH OTHER ALONE
He does not require that we should do anything. What can we do? We are blind, lame, deaf, dumb, and are dead as the door nail. However all is not lost but abstain whole heartedly from fornication, men should leave women alone and women should leave men alone. That is why it is said, if you bestow all your goods to feed the poor and give your body to be burnt but you do not surrender yourself by abstaining from fornication, you have not done anything worthy of praise.
Those who have refrained from fornication, whose spirit of fornication is completely dead in them, have the right to knock their heads and thank God. Every person, man or woman who abstains from fornication has the right to thank God because he has a share in this tree of life. Because it is that woman prostitute who is pinning you down. Many of you here are lamenting and praying that the Father should deaden your sex organ. Some contemplating whether they should cut off that part of the body. For as this gospel is going on if you see a woman, you will be burning in your lust for her. If you see a man, you stick your neck on him despite the gospel denouncing fornication.

SEX INFLUENCE IS POWERFUL
Brethren, the sex influence is very weighty. Some complain that it is the woman who has charmed him or vice versa, it is no charm at all, but it is the sexual influence, which is most powerful. It destroys great kings and learned men: it demolishes wealthy persons, the government, the church and every other thing and so condemns the whole world. Now many people are crying and lamenting because of the sin of fornication and its punishment?
IF YOU DO NOT WISH THAT THE CHRIST SHOULD RULE OVER YOU, YOU WILL BE ELIMINATED:
I am making this proclamation from High Heaven to the whole world. Go and tell it to your church denomination, millionaires, government, scientists, kings and principalities, philosophers, astronomers and to astrologers that total abstinence from fornication is required because it is the sin which has brought untold suffering to the inhabitant of the world. Because the Father alienated the flesh to Himself to rule, He has appointed Our Lord Jesus Christ to control all flesh, but if you refuse that He should rule over you, then destruction sets in. As you sit down or stand, nothing can have dominion over you. It is only God who has dominion over you. Whoever does not wish that He should rule over him will be annihilated. This is the last world; there will be no other. If you like, He will rule over you, but if you reject Him, you will be eliminated. Have you heard what He has said? But those mine enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring hither and slay them before Me. Who are those who do not wish that He should rule over them? They are those who do not want to forsake fornication, this means that you do not wish that Our Lord Jesus Christ should reign over your body
A great number of people when they listen to a gospel such as this, will become so petrified with fear but as soon as they go back, they again become entangled in it head-long. This means that you have demolished the house and do not wish that Our Lord Jesus Christ should reign over you, you are therefore, declared a wanted person.
This gospel must be given to any person who wants to become a Crusader or enroll in flesh as a Brotherhood. Give it to men of all stations in life, the governor, the president, Archbishop, millionaire, professor and scientist. The gospel should be disseminated to all parts of the world, and in water for the water Spirits.

NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH
This is the vision which John the Divine had, in Revelation when he said that I saw the first heaven and the first earth were passed away and a new heaven and new earth appeared and he continued to say I saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem coming from God out of Heaven prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And he heard a great voice out of heaven saying behold the tabernacle of God is with men and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain for the former things are passed away. Give Him the chance in your heart that He may come and dwell there in. Have you given Him the chance in your heart?
Now God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit have come down according to His promise to dwell in His house but unfortunately his house is defiled. When He dwells in your heart, you will not die again, will never be sick and will never be poor and will not do any type of work again, you will now be in Heaven. The trouble and problem afflicting the world is attributable to the fact that people do not give Him the chance to enter into His house.
Know ye, therefore, that the Father has opened your ears because Our Lord Jesus Christ used to conclude His discourses by the Words “Those who have ears let them hear”. God has today opened all the human ears in the world and you will hear the Word of God. The Father’s farewell address of January 1983 had enjoined that all members whether they like it or not, it is incumbent upon them to hear the Word of God from this year, all must also practice the Word of God. The farewell addresses for January, April and August will be compiled into one book and every body should have it in his library. From now till eternity it is incumbent upon all children of God to practice the gospel. The second lesson will now be read. Listen attentively, of course I have given all the inhabitants of the world and angels also the ears to listen to and assimilate these words.

2nd Lesson: 1 Corinthians 6: 18
“Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.”
Brethren, have you heard that? An adage has it that what is delicious in the mouth of sick person, he will continue to eat that until he dies. Can you not realise that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Those who continue to fornicate have sinned against their own body, and have sinned against God.

FORNICATION DEFILES THE BODY
If you have been in Brotherhood for twenty years but you do not yet refrain from fornication, your twenty years are but nothing. If you have just come to Brotherhood today and you refrain from fornication, you are better than somebody who has been here for a million years but still persists in fornication. If you are in the world or in any of the church denomination but do not fornicate, you are better than somebody who professes to be Brotherhood and puts on the white raiment, a hundred times. These are they who will inherit this glory, they are found in the different church denominations and in different communities, they have seen this glory but they have not yet been manifested in the flesh, they rejoice in the glory.
A fornicator has not yet seen this glory. And so brethren, know that every sin you commit is without your body but whosoever commit fornication sins against his own body. It was the sin of fornication, which killed Adam and Eve. God is calling upon all the inhabitants of the world to flee fornication both men and women, government and church alike, spiritual churches, necromancers, soothsayers, men of all stations in life both big and small to run away from the sin of fornication. Tell the millionaires, the kings and emperors and principalities, the governors and presidents, the church dignitaries to run away from fornication.
What Adam would have done in the beginning, he rather asked in the end; when God told him not to eat of the forbidden fruit, if he had not eaten, he would not have been disgraced. But at the end he asked God to remove the sex urge from him, and God indeed removed the sex urge, that was why he could live for a further 930 years. Brethren, you cannot do that out of your own volition but ask Him. Do not ask Him for money and health but ask and plead with Him to take away from you that sex urge.

FORNICATION IS INTERNAL CANKER-WORM
It is not an external disease but an internal canker worm, which eats into the fabric of your body which no person can control because it is not your pleasure to continue with the hideous sin. You may be sitting doing some other thing but the urge begins to burn in you and you are pressurised to commit fornication, after the act you will realise yourself but it will be too late because you will be too helpless.
Do you know from where it comes? It is hereditary and you inherit it from your great grand father, it is latent and it is not easy to suppress it by force, if you do it by force you harm yourself. It is from the blood of your great grand father. He committed fornication; even your first father Adam committed fornication. This sin is hereditary from Adam and Eve. It is said I will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon the children unto the third and forth generation of them that hate Me. For that reason, many have cried and lamented that God should kill them but He has not killed them. When men see women they begin to fidget and become lousy, sticking their necks. When women see men they also burn with urge for sex even if you want to shot them down, they are not bothered, because they are swallowed up in their desires.
FORNICATION INFECTS ALL PARTS OF YOUR BODY
You have heard that lesson, it says every sin that a man commits is without the body but whoever commits fornication has sinned against his own body. It permeates into your flesh, bones, blood stream, joints and marrow and ligaments and will infect and contaminate all parts of your body, rendering them useless. If you take any drug, you will urinate it out, if you drink any type of wine you will also urinate out, if your rub anything on your body, you will wash it off, but when you fornicate, the element will forever remain in your body. That is why the Bible confirms that we were shapen in iniquity and born in sin, because that blood of fornication is over-whelmed in you.
Your first sexual intimacy is with a female prostitute, and it was a male prostitute who broke your virginity, that is why you carry about with you the mark of fornication. You find in this world people gallivanting the streets like he-goats, full fledged men with cars packed by road sides lamenting and begging in a women’s house and if moral persuasion is not applicable they use combat by committing forceful rapes against a girl or a boy. It is because of that permeating promiscuous blood. So brethren, I am shedding tears for you Crusaders and the inhabitants of the whole Brotherhood world that you should forget about what had transpired in the past and refrain completely from fornication. Because it is a pathetic and sorrowful situation for God to fail fulfilling His own will in the world. Since He had promised to fulfill His will, it is impossible that He will deviate from it.

ONLY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST CAN CLEANSE YOU
See to it that the precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ will not be made of none effect. Who ever plant coco-yam expects the multiplication of the specie seen and whoever marries expects children from the marriage. Our Lord Jesus Christ did shed His Blood: because the blood of a goat or cow cannot cleanse you. The blood of any man, thief, murderer or any son of man cannot cleanse and redeem man but the precious Blood of God alone cleanses the sin of fornication from your body which Adam and Eve initiated in action.
The reason that God has left man with utter abandonment and allows him to suffer under the angel is for this sin of fornication, because every sin that a man commits is without His body but any person who commits fornication sins against his own body. It means that when man commits fornication the house of God is defiled and rendered uninhabitable and so God cannot dwell in it. This explains why they are afflicted. If God dwells in you and you in Him what can harm you? Death will have no dominion over you, neither man, nor sun, moon, or any other thing can rear its ugly head against you or flap its wings.

FORNICATION SEPARATES MAN FROM GOD
Do not be deceived into believing that there is any secret thing in Brotherhood. The only secret thing is that when you refrain from fornication, God the Father and the Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit will dwell in you and have dominion over you and control you.
Whenever you commit fornication you become like an orange whose juice has completely been sucked out and the fibre is thrown away. When you fornicate, you become like a woman who has reached the end of her child bearing age, and can bear no children any longer, she must be left alone. When you commit fornication you are like a plantain stem, which after the ripe bunch has been cut off becomes useless. The only hope of God is to dwell in your body and when you defile the house, you render yourself useless, and uninhabitable. Let us have our golden text:

Golden Text: 1 Corinthians 3: 16-18
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is Holy, which temple ye are. Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.”

Brethren, have you heard what is read to you? The Scriptures warn that you should not fornicate as some of them committed and died 23,000 in one day. It is said, know ye not that you are the temple of God and that the spirit of God dwells in you and if any person defiles the temple of God him will God destroy. Can you observe the high incidences of death in the world in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening, in the night and at every moment of time taking toll of both young and old, small or great, of lawyers, judges, millionaires, kings, queens, presidents, governors. Why? It is only that you have rendered yourself useless.

FORNICATION BRINGS ABOUT DEATH
What has brought about death? It is fornication. God has come to dwell in His building, which is your body so that He may be glorified because He has come to assume His reign both in Heaven and on earth. If He does not rule, no other phenomenon can rule. This is the reign of God. So whosoever does not accept His rule, must be eliminated. Those who accept him will reign with Him and be glorified with Him. This is not the time to plead with any person; this marks the final epoch.
Do not disturb yourself building a church. There is nothing like church, man is God’s building and He is a Spirit and dwells in you. He does not live in another place apart from your body. You notice Him within yourself. He is talking to you and indwelling in you and for this reason nothing has dominion over you. You neither suffer under the rain, the scorching heat, death or sickness.

A Samaritan woman told Our Lord Jesus Christ ‘you say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship, but our forefathers worshipped in this mountain.’ But Our Lord Jesus Christ told her, ‘woman believe Me the hour is coming when you will neither worship the Father in this mountain nor yet in Jerusalem.’ For you worship what you do not know but we worship what we know for salvation is of the Jews. And He said but ‘the hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in truth, for the Father seeks such to worship Him.’ He then concluded, ‘God is a Spirit, and they who worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.’

YOU ARE THE TEMPLE WHICH SHINES
John the Divine also bore testimony when he said “I saw no temple therein for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the Temple in it; and the city had no need for the light of the sun neither of the moon to shine in it for the glory of God did lighten it and the Lamb is the light thereof.” What is the significance of this? It signifies that you are the temple, and the Lamb, and the Father shines in you and you are the light, and your body is an embodiment of all wisdom, power, wealth, glory; you are the city of God, the city of the King and the Kingdom of God. From the beginning of the world no person has pleased the Father. Solomon built a temple and others went to the mountain. These were erroneous. This is the appropriate time, the fullness of time that was predicted that God would dwell in man. Since I am making this declaration from Highest Heaven every inhabitant of the world is listening to this gospel; all Spirits and Angels are also listening to this gospel. Waters, Hades, Heavens have all received this gospel. Do not worry yourself any longer to look for money with which to serve God or to build a house for God where you can worship but refrain from fornication. Behold there is a stranger at the door knocking and waiting for you to open. Open the gate of your heart and He will enter. Purify yourself, deny and denounce fornication.

IF YOU DEFY YOUR BODY, GOD WILL DESTROY YOU
From this moment you listen to this Gospel, refrain from fornication and comply with the contents of this gospel because the Scriptures have advised: “Today when you will hear My voice harden not your heart!” If the one who spoke to them from the earth and they hearken not and were not saved how much less him who speaks to them from High Heaven, how do you hope to be saved. Man is neither God, or Christ, or Spirit, or Jehovah, but you are God’s building, and God’s husbandry, flee fornication and when He passes into your body, He will be glorified and you with Him. Tell it to traditional rulers, wise men, wealthy men, and churches that if they defy the temple of God, them will God destroy.
Those who marry hundred women should call a halt to their venture; those who indulge in plurality of husbands should abstain. There is time for everything, and this is the era of God, the owner of the vineyard has come into His vineyard, let Him pass through.
Disseminate this gospel to every body everywhere, so that no one would argue that he did not hear. All women in the Association of prostitutes should be advised to withdraw forthwith, for the job is destructive and killing. All those who go about prostituting, jumping from pillar to post in search of a woman or man, should be advised to stop immediately.

Both men and women should advise themselves on this issue of fornication because the destruction and calamity that will befall fornicators is dreadful and incomprehensible. They will be dying and perishing in millions. What you witness in the world today is that the wrath of God is visited on people. They have ears but bluntly refuse to listen to the Word of God. God is not poor. He is never in lack; therefore your demand to come and minister unto Him is uncalled for He has come to serve and also to be served. He has to rule over you in love, joy, peace and humility, and to have dominion over all His creations.
Heaven and earth belongs to God, the world and the fullness thereof belongs to Him and we are also His property. Do not choose a house for Him for you are His House, city, and vineyard; surrender yourself completely to Him. If you accept Him, keep yourself undefiled and surrender yourself to Him, you will reap the fruits of the earth. But if you are disobedient and defy the house of God, He will destroy you.
Take this gospel to the president by hand, to the governors, to the Prime Minister, Kings and Queens, Emperors and Traditional Rulers, send it to the Government and other institutions, send it to intellectuals, the Queen of England and men of all stations in life. Advise them to refrain from fornication.

Brethren, I do not intend to be tedious unto you, one stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise. Those who have ears, let them hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

Thank you Good Father.

EVERLASTING GOSPEL DELIVERED BY THE HOLY FATHER, LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU, SUPERNATURAL TEACHER AND SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE (WHQ) BCS 34 AMBO ST CALABAR NIGERIA

AFTER 1999 SOMETHING SPECTACULAR WILL HAPPEN

First Lesson: Romans 8 v 14
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Sons of God.”

Second Lesson: St. John 15 v 9
“As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you; continue ye in My love.”

Golden Text: Revelations 2 v 4 – 5
“Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou hast fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”

The warning from God
This voice is coming from the highest plane to all parts of the world. All the nations of the world should listen attentively to this Lesson. Let all the trees in the forest, the animals in the forest, the birds in the air, the fishes in the sea, human beings, angels and all created and uncreated things, listen to this message because it is a message for the entire world. The time for the judgement of God is at hand. You have already been told that judgement will begin from the house of God. Let nations, human beings and angels not joke with the time.
You have money, children, clothes, houses and other things in the world, but I have one thing against you. You have health, landed properties, children, husbands and wives, and many other things and none of these things are evil. Do not forget about these words: “Heaven and earth and the fullness thereof belongs to God.” The man of God asked:
“Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who shall stand in His Holy place? He that has clean hands and a pure heart, who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.” Psalm 24:3-5 That is why this message is sent to you from the Most High, to all human beings, animals, trees, birds, fishes and angels, so that no person may live to regret.
This message is also directed to the millionaires, professors, judges, highly learned persons, kings, emperors and all sorts of people in the world. Whether you go to church or not; whether you make concoctions or not; whether you are a necromancer or not, whether you are a man or a woman, black, white or coloured; this message is for the entire world. The wrath of God will be visited on all human beings, all animals and all of God’s creation, which have not walked along the path of rectitude. The time for the judgement of the Lamb of God is at hand. Since God is Love, Mercy, Truth, Patience, Humility, Self-control, Peace, Joy, Lowliness of heart; that is why He has chosen to send this message to the entire world. God is not slow to redeem His promise, but He has long patience and wants every person to become truly repentant. He had sent this same message to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. When He heard about their transgressions, the atrocities that they have committed, their indulgence in roguery, fornication, adultery, whoremongering, etc, He had to send this message to the two cities. If you like open the book of Isaiah 1 v 10 – 20; when you get home read this portion and you will discover that the message given to you today, was sent to the two cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. The world today is the same Sodom and Gomorrah.
You who stay at home building houses and say that you are building a house for God; when you indulge in roguery, you say that you are doing it for God. God has told you as He has told the two cities of Sodom and Gomorrah that the sacrifices of unrighteousness are not pleasing to Him. All that you are doing from day to day are the same things that the people of old were doing. If you read the book of God, you will discover that there is nothing new, everything that is happening now is exactly what happened in the past. The world of Noah is exactly what we have today. When Noah preached for a period of 120 years and the people paid deaf ears to his preaching, this is exactly what you are doing today. As the people of old put the words of Noah into disdain, so are you putting the words of God today into disdain. The Ark, which he built as instructed by God, was converted into a public toilet by the people of those days. It also became a place of salvation and redemption when somebody by accident fell into the excreta became well, so also others who had difficulties had to go and swim in the excreta in order to become well. No one has ever stopped to think about repentance. The only thing that prevailed was that whenever anyone was sick he was always directed to go to Noah’s Ark and fall into the faeces and he would become well. Look at the world today.

What is happening today is exactly what happened in the days of Noah, If the people of old had listened to the voice of Noah, which was the voice of the Most -High God, then God would not have destroyed the world. If the people of the two cities of Sodom and Gomorrah had listened to the voice of Lot, which was the voice of the Almighty God, God would not have destroyed the two cities. Today is the last of all the ages, the last of the era. This is why He has directed this message to all the creations of God, to all the winged creatures, the wind and the hazards of the weather, the rain and the sun, and all the created and uncreated things.
This is the time for the judgement of God; this is the time when all trees must bend and all tongues sing His praises. All human beings, all animals, birds, fishes and creeping things have to recognise God now. Remember that in the beginning there was only one flock and one shepherd. Now everybody is staging a return to the Garden of Eden, so that we may all remain in one flock under one shepherd. Remember that at that particular time, there was no wars or rumours of wars, no quarrelling, fighting, drinking, fornication, adultery, concoctions, charms, talisman or any evil was found there during this time. Human beings, animals, birds, fishes and all created things lived together. Together with all of these things, God Himself lived there; our Lord Jesus Christ lived there; all the angels, the good people of God, human beings, animals, birds, fishes, trees and other created things lived there, because they remained in that one love. What led them? The Spirit of God led them. You are told that all those who are led by the Spirit of God, they alone are the children of God. When we say this to you, it seems as though we are speaking in a strange language to you.
What is the Spirit? The Spirit is God. What is God? God is Love. What is Love? Love is Mercy. What is Mercy? Mercy is Humility. What is Humility? Humility is good Conduct. What is good Conduct? It is to serve one another. The sum total of all that are enumerated is what is called God, and that is how to be led by the Spirit of God.
In those days, man did not kill animals or fowls, and snakes or animals did not bite man. They all existed in love, and lived together side by side. You are true witnesses to the fact that the animals, trees, etc. did not create themselves, all came into existence by the spoken Word, which is the Spirit. After creating all these things, God saw that it was good, and so He sanctioned all of them. You are witnesses to all these good things and you admire the flowers and the green leaves, and say how beautiful they are. Sometimes you observe how the domestic animals are very good and beautiful. The goats, hens, sheep, cows and all the others, God created all these things and saw that they were good, because He Himself is good; that is why He created all these things and wanted them to live together in love. At that time, there was no distinction between human beings, fishes and animals, all of them walked according to the Spirit; according to the instructions of God; according to the laws of God; according to the truth, humility, patience and all the virtues of God.

There was no curse, juju, mermaid, fornication and whore mongering, because the Spirit of God led all of them, and they complied with the instructions of our Lord Jesus Christ, “Love ye one another.” This is what He has said today, “Nevertheless I have somewhat against you because thou hast left the first love.” Adam was told to eat all the fruits in the garden, but he should not taste of the one in the middle of the garden, because it was the tree of good and evil. Any day that he would taste of that fruit he will surely die. From the day that they had tasted that fruit, they departed from God. From that day until today, no person walks by the Spirit of God. This is what is used in condemning all human beings, trees, all animals and birds, because they no longer walk in the love of God. It was for this same reason that the world of Noah was destroyed. Because the people did not want to live together in love, and love the trees, animals, birds, fishes, creeping things and all the other things, and to remain in the love of God; that is why that world was destroyed.
During the time of Lot, the two cities of Sodom and Gomorrah refused to walk according to the instructions of God; according to His love; according to His grace, humility and His truth; for this reason these two cities were destroyed. It is stated also, that the Father wanted to destroy the world for the third time, and His Son offered to come and fertilise the ground, and put manure around it; and then offer Himself as a supreme sacrifice, to see if man would repent. You have forgotten one thing; He said, “If I go and manure the whole place and if the people become truly repentant, then they should be saved; but if after I have manure the whole place, they still refuse to repent, then they can be destroyed.”

FIRST LESSON: ROMANS 8: 14
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Sons of God.”

Brethren have you heard what is read to you? That is your only channel of salvation. That was the first instruction that was given to Adam and Eve. He said, “I will teach you everything, you will not listen to the angels, or any other person, but listen attentively to Me, because I will teach you everything.” The only thing that we have to do is to listen to the Almighty God, which is the voice of the Spirit. If we listen to Him attentively and abide by His instructions, which says, “Love ye one another” and we love every person as we love ourselves, then we are saved. Adam was the Son of God for as long as he continued to keep the instructions of God, but from the time he ceased to comply with the instructions of God, he was no longer the Son of God. God is the Word. The Holy Spirit is the Word. If you do not comply yourselves with the instructions of God, it means that you are not children of God. When you erect a building, to whom do you build this house? When you marry a wife, to whom have you married this wife? My duty and your duty is to walk according to the instructions of God. The same thing was said by our Lord Jesus Christ when He said, “I can on my own do nothing, as I hear I judge, and My judgement is righteous, for I do not seek My own will but the will of He who sent Me.” He was the Son of man, the Son of God and God Himself, because He complied with the instructions of God.

Why Abraham and Moses were not the sons of God? It is because they erred somewhere. The reason why our Lord Jesus Christ who was the Son of David, Joseph, Abraham, and who was born by the Virgin Mary became the Son of God was because He complied Himself with the instructions of God. It is irrelevant whether you have one leg or one eye, whether you are a tree or a stone or an animal; once you comply with the instructions of God, you are a child of God. You will be surprised that none of the things, which we see, is new. Healing the sick is not new, raising the dead, making the deaf to hear, or the lame to walk; all these things are not new; what is new is complying yourself and walking according to the instructions of God. You must always walk according to the prompting of the Spirit. Where you are directed to go is where you go; when God say you must not do a particular thing you should not do it. If you comply with this, then you are a child of God. Sometimes you argue that “I have never committed murder, I have never committed theft and I have never fornicated,” but have you never disobeyed the voice of God?
Do you not know that in as much as you do not obey the voice of God, you do not walk according to the Spirit? You do not walk according to His love, and you do not walk according to His truth. His word is life, peace, truth, power and His word is everlasting. You do not have to speak according to your own volition, but you have to speak according to the voice you have heard; and you do not have to do anything according to your own prompting, but you have to act according to the prompting of the Spirit. The only thing that Christ used in conquering the whole world is that He always acts according to the prompting of the Spirit. Since the creation of the world there has never been anyone who walked according to the dictates of the Holy Spirit. The only person who has done this is our Lord Jesus Christ. Have you ever heard that He committed murder? Have you ever heard that He committed theft? Have you ever heard that He committed any act of sin? Did He ever hate anyone? Have you ever heard that He quarrelled with any person? Because the Spirit of God led him, the Father led him. When He was praying, He was always listening attentively to the Father. If the Father said He should run, He would run; if the Father said He should sit down, He would sit down; He obeyed whatever He was told to do by the Father. If you like you can read through the book of St Matthew or the synoptic gospels, and you will see that all the things written in all these pages; that our Lord Jesus Christ had never arrogated anything to Himself; He said that everything came from the Father. He said that the Father said this, that the Father did that; He never credited anything to Himself.
Have you not heard that when the Holy Spirit descended upon Him, that the Spirit led him into the desert? Not that He led the Spirit into the desert, but that the Spirit led him into the desert. He Himself would not have wanted to go into the desert, but He was led by the Spirit into the desert. Whatever He did was as directed by the Holy Spirit, because He had surrendered Himself as an instrument of the Father. Therefore wherever the Spirit took him, He had to follow. Read all the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and you will discover that He was referring everything to the Father. He never said that He Himself said anything, but He always said that the Father said or did. He said, “I can on my own do nothing, what the Father tells Me that is what I say because His instruction is everlasting life.” God cannot tell you to go and commit murder, or prepare concoctions; He cannot tell you to go and marry a wife or to beat up someone. He cannot tell you to do anything evil.
It was revealed through the Prophets that God will teach you everything, and that those who learn of Him will follow Him. There is nothing in the world that can lead you to the wisdom of truth. No human being can lead you, no tree, no animal, no bird or fish; nothing at all created can lead you to the accurate knowledge of the truth; it is only Our Lord Jesus Christ Who can teach you and lead you to the truth. Remember when the people said, how can He behave in this way, He has never seen the walls of any classroom; why is He so intelligent and indulgent? He told them that any person who practises My words would discover whether they come from Me or from the Father. He also continued to say that anyone who speak out of his own volition is looking for his own glory, but whoever speaks the words of He who has sent Him is the truth and there is no guile in him.

Have you not heard His instructions today? Continue ye in My love as I have continued in My Father’s love. God is Love; our Lord Jesus Christ is Love, and He has taught us how to love. We should therefore continue to abide in His love. No children do anything apart from what their father does, and no servant can do anything apart from what he has seen his master doing. As long as the son does not do what the father is doing, such is no longer the son. Any slave that does not listen attentively to the voice of his master is not a good slave. When you say that you are building a house for God, when did God actually tell you to build a house for Him? The Prophets has spoken that God does not dwell in houses made with hands. “What type of building will you erect for Me, did not My hands create all these things?” Oh ye disobedient and heady fellows who do not believe in the words of God.

You continue to resist the will of the Holy Spirit, even as your forefathers did. When you kill someone you say that he does not walk according to the instructions of God; or you see somebody who belongs to another church, you cast him into prison or beat him up and say that he is causing confusion everywhere. I ask you, is this how to preach the words of God? If the Spirit of God does not lead you, what are you? Can you see how pitiful we are? Do not boast in any wisdom of this earth. But boast in this wisdom of truth. He has brought love to us because He Himself is Love; the Son is Love; the Holy Spirit is Love; therefore it is a must that we love one another. We have no other instruction at this end of time, the only instruction is that we should love one another and continue to abide in this love, as He has loved us.
Adam departed from the love that is why the world was visited with wretchedness. Our forefathers departed from this love by committing murder, stealing, committing fornication, whoremongering, concoctions, charms, talisman and doing all sorts of things; that is why they fell from the way of rectitude. Go and read all the records of our Lord Jesus Christ, about His life and teachings; He did not teach anything apart from love. What do you think it is to walk by the Spirit of God? It is to comply with the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ, because His teachings constitute life, love, and it is God. It says, love your enemies and pray fervently for those who persecute you, so that you may resemble your Father who is in heaven, because He causes the rain to fall on the just and unjust, and the sun to shine on both the just and the unjust. If you love those who love you, and hate those who hate you, what spectacular thing have you done? Abraham, Moses and Adam did the same thing.
We should be perfect even also as our heavenly Father is perfect. You should not eat any animals, nor kill the birds or fishes, for this reason also you should not tell lies, commit murder or whoremongery, beat any person, or cast anyone into prison. If you read Genesis chapter one, you will discover that after God created man and every other thing; He prescribed the type of food that man should eat. He said, “You should eat from all the trees bearing seeds and fruits; these seeds and fruits shall be your food.” He gave man the superintendence over the animals in the bush, the fishes and birds, over all the creeping things, that he should superintend over all these things and love them. He did not give him the instruction to kill the snake, lizard or any animal, or to cut down any trees. God Himself does not commit any atrocity; therefore He cannot direct any one to kill anything. Now that it is said that a goat and cow is sacrificed to a mermaid or for concoction; I want to ask you whether any of these things have goats or any animals? God creates all these things Himself.
Now that you say that you are indulging in the preparation of concoctions, or that you are worshipping mermaids, charms, talisman, concoctions, etc. I tell you that all the things that you find, whether they are bark of trees, roots or herbs, sand and gravel or any other thing. Does God not create these things Himself? How do you know that when you say woe unto this tree that you have not abused God? How do you know that when you say to animal, woe unto you, that the animal you have cursed is not God Himself? You think that God is as stupid as you are. When you remain and have nothing wrong with you, for no reason you begin to fight and struggle with one another. He has divided Himself into all the things that you see in the world. Some parts in the ground, these are the Spirits, some in the animals, some in the trees and all the other things that you see. The Spirit of God creates all these things; therefore they are mini gods. All these things are human. The sand, stones, trees, animals are humans and all of them are your brothers. It is therefore incumbent on all the human beings to love the trees, animals, birds, fishes and creeping things. He has not directed that you should go and worship a tree, or pluck leaves and pound them into concoctions and rub them on your body. As He is protecting you, so is He protecting all the other things; as He loves you, so He loves all the other things. As He directs you, so does He direct all the other things.

SECOND LESSON: ST JOHN 15: 9
“As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you; continue ye in My love.”

Have you seen what it is to walk by the prompting of the Holy Spirit? There was love in existence from the beginning of the world. That love was with God, and that love was with the Son and the love is with the Holy Spirit. How many categories of love do you have? It is only One Love. Christ said, “As the Father has loved Me, so I love you, abide ye in My love.” You have no other city or country in which you live, your country is Love. The country of the fishes is Love; the country of the trees and animals is Love, and we have to live inside this Love. What is the Father? The Father is Love. What is the Word? The Word is Love. What is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is Love. What is Love? Love is you. If you do not love the person that you see with your eyes, it means that you have no love. You have to love Me and I will reciprocate and all of us have to love one another, because we are members of the family of God.
Whosoever love God must love his brother also. If you love God you must love the fishes. If you love God you must love the animals. If you love God you must love the grass. If you love God you must love the trees, the creeping things, the winged creatures and all the other creations of God, because He Himself is found in all of these things. If you abide in His love you will never be annoyed, you will not quarrel with anyone, you will not steal and you will not commit any of the other sins and vices. If you steal money in order to build a house, or cast someone into prison, it means that you have no love. Do not look for God anywhere else, look for Him in Love. Do not look for our Lord Jesus Christ somewhere else, look for Him in Love. Do not look for the children of God somewhere else, look for them inside Love, because Love is the beginning and the end. That is why we are told today to continue in that love. Paul asked, “What shall separate me from the love of Christ? Is it hunger, sickness, imprisonment, wretchedness or death? Nevertheless nothing can separate me from the love of God which is Christ Jesus.”
If we love the brethren, it means that we are walking according to the prompting of the Spirit; it means that we are walking with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Everything will pass away, but love will never pass away forever. God loved the Son, but He surrendered the Son to come and die in order to redeem you and Me. The Son loved the Father, that is why He accepted to comply with these instructions, and because of the love He has for us; He accepted to come and shed His precious blood for your redemption and Mine. We must therefore reciprocate the love, which our Lord Jesus Christ has for us by loving the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Whoever loves his brother has passed completely from death to life.

Knowledge will pass away, prophecy will cease, visions will vanish and all other things will pass away but love will endure forever. Knowledge is man made, but love comes from God. Love has no grievous to anyone. Love is the fulfilment of the law. Love does not tell lies, is not annoyed, does not hate, fornicate, commit adultery, steal or deceive anyone. It is because man departed from the first love that death, sickness, poverty and all the encumbrances came into the world.
Go and tell all the people in the world, the angels and all the creations of God, because I am declaring this from high heaven that whoever does not have love is in death. So brethren, obedience is better than sacrifice. Since Adam departed from this first love, do you not see what has become of the world? Send someone to a university to study medicine and let him return to cure all sicknesses; I tell you that this is nonsense because if you have no love, you will always be faced with difficulties, problems, sickness, wretchedness, death, hunger and all other things. What is the wisdom behind your killing of somebody in order to get money, or casting someone into prison in order to get money? Fighting with somebody in order to get money, or doing any other thing to acquire money, when you know that by doing all these things you will continue to be wretched?

Sometimes you say, “I want to be a millionaire, traditional ruler, great man or to have prominent children.” Have you not heard what has been read to you, that whoever does not have love abide in death? Have you not heard that the wages of sin is death? The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus? Do you not want eternal life? Whoever hates his brother remains in death, and he has no share in this kingdom of God. It is because the Father does not want you to perish, and the entire world, that He has sent you this last message. This is an everlasting gospel, which will never be preached again, and you will have to comply yourself with it, in order to have everlasting life. This gospel must be preached to the entire world, that is why we have to tape record it and have it produced in pamphlets, and then distribute it throughout the world, so that no one will be able to say that they did not know about this gospel.

When you argue that you have not paid tithe, and because of this you have annoyed God, that is useless because God does not want your money. When you say that you have no child, therefore when you die there will be nothing to remember you by; do not think about such things because God is not interested. When you complain that you have not built a house like those of your age group, God does not want any building. Any day that He wants a house He will build one for Himself. God only want one thing from you, and that is that you must go back to that first love. When you argue that you cannot attend service, you have no white garment and you cannot go barefooted; God is not interested in your white garment. There is only one thing that He has used in condemning you from the time of Adam. The punishment besetting the world today is not such that you should bear, but because your fore fathers and all of you have departed from the first love, that is why you are visited with all these tribulations. It is prophesied that you should not be puffed up. Any day that you are puffed up, the candlestick will be removed from its place. What is there in the world that you can boast of? You cannot boast about anything apart from love. When you have love, you have life and you have everything. Of what use it is for you to be a king, a president, a governor, a minister, a millionaire, a learned person, or that you have wisdom? All these things are useless. Sometimes you argue that you want to serve your country, constituency, church and your community. Which are you going to serve in? Or you say that you want to establish a government and leave the leadership to your children. With what are you going to do all these things? Do you know where you and your constituency and church will go? Since God does not take pleasure in the death of an evil person, that is why He has directed this message to you, so that you may become truly repentant and enter into everlasting life.

After 1999, I have told you before and I am repeating now, that something Spectacular will happen. All the Gospels preached and tape-recorded and written will come to pass at that particular time. The testimony of our Lord Jesus Christ is the Spirit of prophecy. There has never been a time that the Word of God touches down and return empty handed.

GOLDEN TEXT: REVELATION 2: 4 – 5
“Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou hast fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”
Brethren, have you seen how great the love of God is for us? Have you any argument to put forward, because I see the whole world as people who do not have love. No church denomination, no black- man, white- man, or coloured. No facets of society or institution have love. That is why you are overshadowed with darkness. This gospel must be submitted to Me, if not today, by tomorrow. This gospel must be written and circulated to all the children of men in the world. If you have no children, money, work and relations you cannot be condemned for these things. There is only one thing used in condemning you and that is, you have left that first love. If you perish today it is not because you have no husband, wife, children, a job, or that you have not administered to the poor, but you will perish because you have departed from the first love of God. Compare this gospel with the writings in Isaiah 1 v 10 – 20, summarised in the Revelations, “Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou hast fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”

This gospel serves as the final stage of the changeover. Therefore you have been given a commission to go and preach this gospel to the millionaires, governors, kings, presidents, emperors and principalities. Tell them that if they do not return to the first love and repent, the candlestick will be removed from its place. Go and preach to the Pope, Archbishop of Canterbury, Pastors, Reverends, Evangelists and Apostles; and all those who have formed their own churches and have many branches. Tell them that if they do not return to that first love of God, God is prepared to remove the candlestick from its place. You realise that He searches the hearts and reins, and that He does not look at things on the surface, but looks deep inside. He searches your heart and brain. He does not look at these beautifully decorated cities and their high standard of civilisation. If you do not repent, then the candlestick has to be removed from its place.
If anybody ask you why the world is beset with problems and difficulties, tell them that the world has departed from the first love of God. God does not look for your money, wisdom, houses, or anything at all. He wants you to have that love, and extend that love to all His creations. He says that we should not steal, fornicate, indulge in whoremongery, make concoctions and you should love every person as you love yourself. Love is not clothing, food or building. It is that you should not impute sins on anyone, think evil about anyone, or speak evil about anyone. Do not disregard anyone, despise anyone or sow the seeds of discord. Take everybody as yourself. It is said that the children are not the ones to provide for the parents, but it is the duty of the parents to provide for the children. God does not look for your wives, children, money or clothing, but He does not want you to perish.

Remember when Peter took up the sword to cut off the ear of one of the servants of the high priest; our Lord Jesus Christ told him to put away his sword, because whoever lives by the sword must surely die by the sword. Whoever kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Evil men will wax worse, deceiving and being deceived. Refrain completely from all manners of vices, because no vice can serve any useful purpose to any person. From now to December you must completely change your lifestyle. You must withdraw all your court cases, and be reconciled with all your adversaries. You must not indulge in any vice. You have to look for the black goat when it is not yet dark, because when it is dark it will be impossible for you to find it. Right now there is nothing like concoctions, juju, money, or houses in existence. All these things are regarded with disdain. If God had not loved us, He would not have given us such large latitude in order that we may become altogether changed. You all know that you are all instruments in this Vineyard, and when you complain that you have pain in your waist, head, back, stomach, etc; this is erroneous. The problem is because you have departed from that first love and you have no love towards another person. This is the cause of your problem. You ask what is the cause of the trouble in your family; it is because you do not have love. When you ask what is the cause of the trouble in Nigeria? The cause of the problem is because Nigerians have no love. When you ask about the cause of the trouble in Africa, it is because of lack of love. The trouble in the Western World is because no white man has any atom of love in him. When you ask about the trouble and tribulations in the whole world, it is because of lack of love.
You always say that God is your witness that you have love. Today after this gospel, can you say that God is your witness that you have love? Today after this gospel can you defend yourself? God is no respecter of person. After hearing this gospel, go and give it to the Pope, Archbishop of Canterbury, and find out if any of them have love. The Pope has no love, the Archbishop of Canterbury has no love, the Army Officer who says he want to defend his nation give him this gospel to read and he will see whether he has love. If he had love, he would not have committed murder by killing people. When you stay in the court and say that you are a judge or magistrate, and you condemn someone to death or send someone to prison, have you got love? You say that you are working for the government, you are a policeman and you arrest somebody because he has committed murder or stolen, for this reason you throw him into prison, have you got love as a policeman? Is it possible for satan to cast out satan? Can you use sin to take away sin? God says that He does not look on any other thing that you have done, but He has looked at one particular thing, and that is that you have departed from the first love.

I do not condemn Abraham, Isaac and Moses; all of them committed murder. Were they directed by God to go and kill any person? Abraham, when he heard that his nephew Lot was abducted by soldiers; he went to that community and destroyed everything, and then return home with spoils of war. When you claim that you are a friend of Abraham, because he was a friend of God, do not go to that aspect of being a friend of God. When you claim to be a disciple of David, I will warn you not to be a disciple of David. This gospel is intended for every person in the world. It is the last gospel, the everlasting gospel, and therefore you have to comply with the contents of this gospel. You have to go back to that first love of God. If our Lord Jesus Christ did not come to redeem mankind, how do you think that Abraham, Moses and David would have been saved? After all these things have been done, have you seen any peace in the world? The changeover symbolises your returning to that first love of God, which you have departed from. Every person has to return to that first love. We are retracing our steps back to the Garden of Eden. Many of you are still hunting animals, killing birds and animals; and afterwards you scratch your head and say, “God forgive me,” it is too late.
When you kill your goat; looking left and right and you do not see anyone you say, “Let us quickly eat up this thing and go away.” When you capture a goat in order to slaughter it, it begins to bleat because it is trying to help itself, but you do not want to let it go, and you chop off its head. These animals that you are killing, have instincts; it is only that they have no reasoning faculties. The only thing which man has used to outwit animals is that man has reasoning faculties. If you want to kill an animal, it knows that you are going to kill it, but it has no reasoning faculties to know how to escape from you. When you are going to steal, you have reasoned with yourself that maybe those people will have prepared for you with guns, swords and machetes. You also will prepare yourself and be armed. You will have your disciples lay ambush around the house as you go in and steal. You have already prepared yourself well.
So brethren take this gospel and preach it to your wife, and to the angels. I know that every person is listening now. Even the angels are listening. The angels, who do not comply with these instructions, stand to perish. The significance of the changeover is for every one of us to confess our sins and become truly repentant, and return to that first love. The only way to changeover is to be completely reborn. And become reconciled to your adversaries; those you are quarrelling with, those you have been speaking evil against; you have to become truly reconciled. And then refrain from stealing, fornication, preparation of concoctions, whoremongery, and then go back to that first love.

This gospel will be taken to the whole world; it will be preached in all the nooks and corners of the world, before the end comes. Do not preach about the church denominations or man, but preach about love. Tell them that no person in the world has love. Tell them that God has revealed that love to us and that God wants us to return to this first love. All those who have love are the children of God. The whole world is languishing in the hands of the evil one, because all the people in the world are now dying out.

I have no intention of being tedious unto you; one stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. Let those who have ears, hear; may God bless His holy words, Amen.

Thank You Good Father

AN EVERLASTING GOSPEL DELIVERED BY THE HOLY FATHER, THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER AND SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU (WHQ) 34 AMBO ST CALABAR NIGERIA

BAPTISM “CRITERION FOR SALVATION”

FIRST LESSON: ST. MARK 16: 16
“He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned”.

SECOND LESSON: ACTS 2: 38-39
“Then Peter said unto them, repent, and be baptised everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call”.

GOLDEN TEXT: ST. JOHN 3: 5
“Jesus answered, verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God”.

FIRST AND SECOND BAPTISM
Brethren, the texts above have summarized this gospel. You have been reading these portions for years, yet you could not understand what they meant. This gospel is meant to reveal to you that those who practice the injunctions of God must be saved, and also those who are qualified for the Kingdom of God.
There are two major things needed in the Kingdom. The first is to repent and refrain from all manners of sins, and the second is baptism by immersion in water. This will qualify you for forgiveness and remission of your sins by God. We have two types of baptism in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star – Baptism of forgiveness of sins and that of the Holy Spirit. If you undertake one and fail to take the other, it avails you nothing. If you had committed any sin, no matter how grievous that sin was, once you are baptised into brotherhood, you are washed clean. Since you have repented and refrained from your sins, our Lord Jesus Christ and the Father will forgive all your sins. That is the first baptism. The second baptism is that of the Holy Spirit. If God bestows you with the gift of the Holy Spirit, your heart will be pure. Consequently, there will be no judgement against you anymore. You will be completely free from all problems.

If you are bestowed with the gift of the Holy Spirit, yet your sins are not forgiven due to the fact that you are not baptised, you are not saved. If you had received the baptism of the Holy Spirit but do not accept that of immersion in water, there is no salvation for you. On the other hand, if you receive baptism of immersion in water but does not receive that of the Holy Spirit, you are not saved. Though you may have received several baptisms from all corners of the world, if you fail to receive that of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star your sins will not be remitted, which indicates that you are not saved. This is because this baptism is preceded by repentance. This is the judgement. Whoever knows that he/she is a sinner, such a person has to go to Christ by repenting and refraining from those sins and then, get baptised. Apart from this, there is no salvation. Salvation eludes so many people who refuse to be baptised into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star having been baptised in their previous denominations. They do not know that any baptism without a proper confession of sins is no baptism. Let it be known that whoever baptises with all his sins with him is not a baptised member of any church; and in such a case, he cannot be saved.

However, if after receiving the aforementioned, you still believe in and continue to prepare diabolical substances, go on marrying so many wives and in fact, indulge in any sin, it means that what you had received was not the baptism of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ said that whosoever ‘believeth and is baptized is saved’. He however, did not add that, after the baptism whoever goes back to his sinful ways should still be saved. If you realize that you are a sinner and repent of your sins and accept this baptism, it means you have died and resurrected with our Lord Jesus Christ, through this way, all your sins are forgiven. These two types of baptism are necessary because through them, the true children of God, who are scattered all over the world, can easily be identified.
It should be noted that not all the inhabitants of the world are bestowed with the gift of the Holy Spirit. The second lesson reveals that you should repent and be baptized so that you may receive the Holy Spirit. This promise is for you, your children and your great grand children. All those who do not possess the gift of the Holy Spirit are not His true children. Though you may be baptized (by immersion in water) and your sins forgiven, if you do not receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, it means you are not His true follower. This is because you cannot sing, preach or heal. This indicates that the Father has not elected you for His glory.
Do not blame any person who has received baptism, but does not receive the Holy Spirit, for he has not yet been chosen. Such a person can neither surrender himself to God nor believe that God is the one doing the work in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Whenever such people receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, they will believe fervently. That is why we have these two types of baptisms. You can now understand why the golden text emphasizes on the point that one must be born of water and spirit otherwise he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. If your sins are not forgiven and you have not received the Holy Spirit, then, you are not worthy of this Kingdom. Some people confessed some of their sins leaving others. If you refused to confess all your sins, you cannot receive the Holy Spirit. Do not forget that the confession, baptism and reception of the Holy Spirit constitute the first death and resurrection. Revelation 2: 11 states that “…. He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death”.
Therefore, it is mandatory that you confess all your sins before baptism, for if you did not die with our Lord Jesus Christ, you will not resurrect with Him. On the other hand, all those who participated in the first death shall not ‘taste’ of the second death.

THE ESSENCE OF CONFESSION OF SIN
Whosoever does not believe in the truth cannot be saved. Believing connotes refraining from former vices and involvement. When this is done you are free. Also, once you receive the two baptisms as practiced in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, you live a problem free life, because you are one with the Father. In fact, you will become a new person in our Lord Jesus Christ. A lot of people who claim to be church- goers are still plagued with various illnesses. The reason is that, they were baptized with their sins in them, which tantamount to no baptism. As earlier been said there is no meaningful baptism that could be effected when a person has not denounced his cults and all the vices he or she had been practicing. It is not confession of sins alone that matters. The crux of the exercise is repenting and refraining from sins. Take the case of a man from Eniong who came to this place, for instance, when the book, ‘First Step to God’ was given to him, after going through it, he left with the excuse that he had to complete his rounds of medication in the hospital first. Meanwhile, this man was receiving treatment in the hospital, but the gospel in that book abhors that. And for that reason, he fled and till now, he had not returned. He did not realize that if he had confessed his sins and got baptized his sickness and problems would have been over.
If baptism were to be of no importance, our Lord Jesus Christ could not have requested John the Baptist to get Him baptized. Read St. Matthew 3: 13-15

“Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbade him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him suffers it to be so now, for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him”.

Our Lord Jesus Christ baptized at the age of 30 (thirty) in the month of August. That was the day He died the first death, and for that reason, the second death had no dominion over Him; so He resurrected. That is what is applicable to all the children of God; death has no power over them. What you call death is no death but a spiritual transfer. The first death is that day you repent and completely refrain from all sins and get baptized. When you are baptized (by immersion), and do not go back to your former vices, but surrender yourself to the service of God, you cannot die anymore. This is because; you have no more association with the agents of death. What are the agents of death? They are fornication, lies, stealing, murdering, backbiting and many other vices.
All those who are still lustful of the world and the fullness thereof, inspite of their baptism, shall be damned. Our Lord Jesus Christ, for instance, was a qualified carpenter from His youthful age to the age of thirty. All along, He was doing the carpentry work, but after His baptism, He received the Holy Spirit without measure; and since then, He did not go back to carpentry. He continued with the work of God having surrendered Himself fully to Him (God). Up till this moment, He has been in active service without slumbering. This is the model of all believers.

You may recall that when our Lord Jesus Christ was not baptized, Satan did not tempt Him. Immediately after His baptism, He was taken to the wilderness where He fasted forty days and nights. There and then Satan tempted Him. Read St. Matthew 4: 1-10. It should be noted that our Lord Jesus Christ could not succumb to these temptations because the Holy Spirit led him. Note very importantly that this Holy Spirit was bestowed upon Him just after His baptism. Therefore, when Satan departed from Him, the angels ministered him unto. Similarly the angels shall minister to those who had decided to forsake all forms of sins and get baptized. On the other hand, those who have refused to forsake all forms of sins and get baptized shall be damned.

Henceforth, before any person is baptized, must read this gospel and be prepared to refrain from all vices and evil practices, which are not in consonance with the tenets of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. If this is not done, your baptism should be regarded as an ordinary bath in the water. However, if you hearken to this teaching, you will be free from all bondage of sin and Satanism. You will then become the real child of God. Romans 6: 2 asks: “…How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” Our Lord Jesus Christ died once and thereafter He lives. Those who are dead and can never resurrect are those who have never been baptized. The root cause of death without resurrection can be traced to the wrong preaching given to new converts – that once they are baptized, all their problems are gone. They are not told to repent and refrain from sins. These new converts therefore, go in for baptism as though they are going to the hospital or to the necromancer. Whosoever knows and confesses his or her sins, repents and baptizes is saved. This is because his sins having been forgiven on earth, is forgiven also in heaven. Whether you are a Royal Highness, king, queen, pope, archbishop, millionaire, billionaire, general or field Marshall in the armed forces you have to abide by this teachings. Apart from this, you have yourself to blame.

DENOUNCE YOUR OLD WAYS BEFORE BAPTISM:
The two baptisms – Repentant and Holy Spirit are very important. If you undergo these two types of baptisms, you will have nothing to do with anger, fighting, bearing malice or anything that will cause discrimination, discomfort and segregation. This is why some people say that they are baptized into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, yet they can not pray, preach nor practice any gospel. In addition to baptism of repentance, if you had received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, you will not gossip, backbite, tell lies, indulge in idolatry, commit adultery, smoke tobacco and take all types of drugs. Do not ask any person to rush for baptism so that his sickness, court case or other problems may be cast away. Let the person confess all his or her sins, repent and refrain from such sins, then receive baptism. Thereafter such a person is washed clean and free from all judgement in heaven and on earth.

If you know you have committed too many sins and cannot bear the burden of them any longer, take refuge in our Lord Jesus Christ. This could only be done through repentance, refraining from and abhorring sins. After this, you will have to accept baptism as administered in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. No prayer or fasting could save you without the above stated method. This is confirmed by the words of our Lord Jesus Christ as recorded in St. Matthew 11: 28 “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”.

Most people in various denominations baptized converts with the least opportunity. This should not be so. In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, for instance, I did not baptize any person from 1956 to 1957. It was just a month to our departure to 26 Mbukpa that I started baptizing people. This was because; I did not want to baptize just anybody – those who do not believe in our Lord Jesus Christ. The first sets of converts were baptized about end of July 1958 to August of the same year. On this note therefore, no baptism should be administered to any person who has not believed in God; does not know what is sin and cannot accept having ever committed any. Before 1958, all the people who came for prayers and to attend services, had had to denounce their various churches, cults, secret societies and other sources of power they believed in. How then could I have baptized such people? It was at 26 Mbukpa Road, Calabar that some people started discarding their rings, bangles, charms and amulets. If God did not apply His great wisdom, He would not have had any follower on earth. At that time, I could not place My hand on people’s head for any reason if they could not confess all their sins.
If you had begrudged any person, you had to go first to make peace before I could pray for you. At that time, whoever did not denounce his or her charms and cults, I did not pray for such a person.

THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
The spirit, blood and water move and work in unison. Most people in the prison yard and those in different precarious situations are being disturbed by the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit is in you, you will be punished of any sin you commit; and if you continue in sin, your end is death. In this wise therefore, once a sick person confesses all his sins truly and repents wholeheartedly, all his sicknesses will vanish completely.
Many people are plagued with various problems. The cause of their mishaps could be traced to the fact that they are not baptized. This fact could be confirmed in Acts 2: 38 where Peter advised the men of Judea during Pentecost to “repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost”. Similarly, any person who does not possess the Holy Spirit must be baptized. So that he may receive it. The churches do not possess the Holy Spirit, yet they claim to be God’s children who are serving Him. How can you be a child of God or serve Him without the Holy Spirit? Those who must serve God satisfactorily must serve Him in Spirit and in truth. (St. John 4: 24)

Most people say they do not want spiritual church, but they crave for the ‘real church’ or what they call orthodox churches. Consequently, you can see their failure and perdition and how they die daily. As you go about praying for people and giving them money and other gifts, can such things save them? Though you may buy a car, a house or other things to a person or even train him in the university, he cannot receive salvation unless he confesses, repents and be baptized as is done in Brotherhood. Someone may pray for another and all his sickness, poverty and his hardship vanish but if he does not possess the Holy Spirit, he is not saved. It was for this reason that our Lord Jesus Christ commissioned His disciples to go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost…’ (St. Matthew 28: 19-20). Therefore, anyone who realizes his or her sins and repents and gets baptized is saved and will be free from any judgement. On the other hand, he that feels he or she has no cause for repentance and subsequent baptism is condemned and nothing can save him. If he likes, he may distribute all his wealth to the poor and be charitable to all, at the end he must perish because he believes not in God.

The gateway to this Kingdom is by confession, repenting and refraining from all sins and then baptism (by immersion). As you emerge from the water, you have received the Holy Spirit. If anybody had not confessed repented and refrained from all his former vices and evil ways do not baptize him. If you do, it will be of no use, because the new spirit will be at war with his ‘customers’ (sins). He therefore, will not stand fast in faith to God. From today, if any person desires to be baptized, ask him or her to confess about all his cults, secret societies, different sources of power and wealth. In other words, all his sins must be confessed before you baptize him. On the contrary, all those who realize their sinfulness and seek for baptism should be baptized. Do not beg or plead with any person to accept baptism. The first lesson below emphasizes on this point.

1st Lesson: St. Mark 16: 16
“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned”.

HOLY SPIRIT IS RECEIVED THROUGH BAPTISM
Our Lord Jesus Christ died because of our sins. If you realize that you are a sinner and believe in the fact that confession, repentance, refraining from all your sins and then baptism (by immersion) is the only way to Him, He will never disappoint you. For those who claim to have been baptized somewhere and that one does not baptize twice, leave them alone for judgement shall be against them. When you read in the Bible that the children of God will judge the world this is that judgement. Read 1 Corinthians 6: 1-5.

The baptism of John the Baptist signified repentance; so that people may believe in our Lord Jesus Christ. This baptism was also for the remittance of sins. Did you know that this is judgement and that any person who has no cause for repentance and baptism is condemned? It is said that ‘they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts’. (Galatians 5: 24). This can only be achieved through confession, repentance and finally, baptism. When once you are dipped into the water, all your charms, juju, evil desires and lust, die completely. Nothing rules over you apart from the Holy Spirit.
When the churches fast, they do it between 6 am to 8 am actively. Beyond 9am to 10am many will fume. By 12 noon, food is kept all round so that they will eat and live. They cannot fast effectively for long because they have not crucified the flesh. They therefore, had not received the Holy Spirit, which could have empowered them to fast.
The entire world is still in the flesh. Whenever the Holy Spirit has taken dominion in your body, no power can either threaten or push you about. When any power or force hits at you, it breaks and cannot penetrate; for a local axiom has it that, ‘two cocks cannot crow on the same roof’. Similarly, the Holy Spirit and elementary (evil) spirits cannot stay in the same temple. That is why people change from bad to good and good to better and finally to best when they baptize and keep to the tenets of Brotherhood as taught by the Supernatural Teacher.

All the powers and forces in the entire universe put together cannot remove any child of God from Brotherhood. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is an unshakable Kingdom. The moment you are baptized, you become one solid being having been possessed by the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit alone that controls your actions and operations. From the day you accept Him, all your problems are gone and there is no judgement for you. Do not be afraid of either death or any power.
When people say that a Brotherhood member is poisoned, charmed or shot with a gun, I normally conclude that such a person is not a true member of this fold. No weapon can kill a member of Brotherhood (BCS), whether spiritual, physical or otherwise. He/she is above destruction. Remember the promise of our master and Lord Jesus Christ that those who believe and be baptized shall not be hurt by anything whatsoever. (Mark 16: 16-18). If you know that you are not really baptized, go immediately for baptism so that you may no longer be in fears. It is out of mercy that the Holy Spirit is changing the entire humanity from evil to good. He who does not experience this transformation cannot know the difference between good and bad. This is because, under the influence of evil spirit, murder is not a sin, likewise charms and amulets. Those who indulge in these things believe that it is a way of protecting oneself. However, let it be known that there is no salvation in any other place in the entire universe. You have read that we were shaped in iniquity and in sin did our mothers conceived us (Psalm 51: 5). Consequently, from the first man, Adam till now, we have all sinned and has fallen short of this Kingdom. God, the merciful Father knows this and so He opened the only available channel. This channel is this baptism, which procedure had earlier been explained.

He who continues to pray for money and wealth should stop seeking for such things, but for his salvation. The government, your parents nor other power or person cannot help you. You cannot help yourself either, because we have all been clothed with sins. Only our Lord Jesus Christ could help us through the above stated method. Forgo everything you know that God will not be glorified so that you may be able to please Him. God does not want anyone to perish, that is why He has opened this way unto the entire world. NO other baptism can forgive and remit your sins. You can be a worshipper in any church denomination, but first come here and be baptized into the proper way, so that your sins will be forgiven and remitted. Only the Almighty God can forgive the sins of any man or human being. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is the real Kingdom of God, where the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit (the Trinity God) dwell. NO angel can forgive or remit your sins. If the Almighty God forgives your sins, no other person can judge you again and you will be free forever. This is not because of your good qualities but through His grace.
Formerly, when I tell members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star that they were with the Holy Father, they had always been left with little doubts. They doubted the possibility of any person staying with the Holy Being. However, today the scales have fallen out of their eyes and they have seen the truth of the issue. The songs rendered here and all wonderful testimonies you give in this place are not heard in any other organization. The sins you have refrained from, are those, which the world enjoyed most. The type of life you live, people outside may regard you as a fool for not leaving Brotherhood to work for money and other mundane wealth. Little did they know that here, you have seen what the world have never seen; and that where you are, is the Kingdom of God. You cannot be snatched out by anybody.
As a member of Brotherhood, you have ‘put on Christ’, though the world accuses you for worshipping a man. They also say that you have been given something, which protects you wherever you may be. This is true. You have been given what is not in the world, because you have been freed from judgement. Consequently, our Lord Jesus Christ had taken dominion in your body, and so, you are defeating all powers of death, poverty, sickness or lamentation.
If any person prepares charm or diabolical substances so as to harm you, he or she is wasting his/her time. Whatsoever they do against you, instead of harming you, will return to them as a boomerang. That is the cause of all the sufferings amongst them. Anybody they get baptized and receive the Holy Spirit, their eyes will be opened and they will realize their former folly.

For you to administer Holy Oil or Water, prayers and visions to someone who neither believes or baptizes is a futile effort. He or she cannot be saved. There is no much time, to be wasted. Help yourself now, for the time is short. Members of Brotherhood have cause to rejoice immensely with the Father for giving them such a Kingdom and glory, which cannot be shaken, when they did not even believe in it. Consequently, there is no sighing, crying, tribulation, suffering and lamentation for them anymore. All adverse conditions have been removed from them.

When it is said that the Kingdom of the world has become that of God and His Christ, you are the ones being referred to. Formerly, you were idol worshippers but today, you are a Brotherhood member enjoying the full protection of the Almighty God. This is because from the very day you believed and got baptized, you had received the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the Kingdom of this world has become that of the Almighty God and His Christ. A true child of God in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star serves God 24 hours without any complaint. Those of the world cannot stay up one night without complaint.
It is said; ‘fear not them, which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear Him, who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell’. (Matthew 10: 28). Today, all members of Brotherhood are free from the above warning because they are not under any law. Nothing can kill you anymore. It is very pathetic to see a Brotherhood member going to a necromancer, juju doctor, or taking any form of medication. This is because, Christ having taken possession of you, no other power works in you. If you are involved in any diabolical practices against any person, it cannot be effective. It should be known that, you are not what you think you are. All Brotherhood members are not just human beings; they are ‘SPIRITS’. It is this ‘spirit’ that does all things. You are only a witness to the work of the Holy Spirit. Any person that points an accusing finger at you does so to our Lord Jesus Christ. To prove this, if you go back to eat the former food, which you discarded, you will not be comfortable. Thus, the choice of food to be taken is the entire prerogative of the Holy Spirit indwelling him. Be rest assured that you are in the New World and in the Kingdom of God. You are therefore, free to go about preaching, singing and testifying about it. Read the second lesson again:

Second Lesson: Acts 2: 38-39
“Then Peter said unto them, repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children and to all that are afar off, even as many as Lord our God shall call’.

THE NEED FOR REPENTANCE
The above lesson is applicable to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. As earlier been stated: the baptism of John was for repentance, while that of Brotherhood is for forgiveness and remittance of sins. I thank God for the baptism of John the Baptist, because it brought man to the knowledge of the true God. Through his baptism, people believed in our Lord Jesus Christ. After the baptism of remittance of sins, the Holy Spirit is given to such a believer. In fact, this promise has been made manifest in the children of Brotherhood. Whoever baptizes you, be he a child or an adult as long as he is a baptized Brotherhood, your sins are remitted. However, if any other person who is not in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star administers the baptism, it changes to that of repentance. Every other baptism in the world is undertaken for repentance, so that those who accept such baptisms may believe in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star as the New Kingdom of God.
Simon Peter was baptized seven times before he met our Lord Jesus Christ. If he had not received the baptism of John, he would not have known our Lord Jesus Christ. After the era of our Lord Jesus Christ, I have not seen or heard of anybody, who truly baptized people for the remission of his/her sins, every person seems to be baptized so that their problems may vanish. Henceforth, let it be known that if you force someone, by much persuasion to be baptized, it means that you are the one who had accepted the baptism and not the person.

The best thing to do is to preach the word of God to someone. When the person listens and by what he hears, asks how he/she can be saved, you then have the chance to inform him to confess, repent and refrain from all sins; then he will be baptized. Let him know that after the baptism, he will receive the Holy Spirit. Consequently, if he believes, and accepts baptism, he is saved. Somebody who is entangled in so many secret societies and cults, and who is deeply involved in traditional medicine and occultism may become bored about his situation. If he comes to you to know what he may do to be saved, you can tell him that, unless he forgoes all those former entanglements, repents and be baptized, he cannot receive salvation. If he believes and baptizes his sins will be remitted and he will be saved.
A Brotherhood member is not expected to sue somebody no matter the offence. He is not supposed to kill. He must not be a liar, fornicator, adulterer, idolater or quarrelsome. A Brotherhood member must not be an immoral person or laden with iniquities. In those days, if you have a case pending in the court, you will not be prayed for or baptized unless you have withdrawn the case from the court. One woman who had a land case with her brother came to Me then and I told her to forgo the land for him but she vowed that she cannot do that; and so was not baptized. She had since been transferred to the world beyond. Many other people perish in the same way. A Brotherhood member does not take any type of medication; neither does he administer such on other people. He must not initiate into any traditional custom of the world. He must not count or impute sins on others and should not bear malice. Brotherhood is the New Heaven and the New Earth where righteousness reigns.
There are two things our Lord Jesus Christ holds and ready to give free to whosoever merits them. If any person confess his sins, He will first wash the person clean and also give him the Holy Spirit. Take note of the fact that, people from all races have committed various and numerous sins. Read Romans 3: 9-10. However, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has been established so that these sins may be remitted.

Brotherhood is love, peace and goodness. The forgiveness and remittance does not stop with the sins of this generation. It covers the sins of different generations such as those committed in the era of Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Melchisedec among others, and other generations yet unborn. Do not direct any person to Calabar, Biakpan, or give any person Holy Oil or Water. Rather, when they ask how they could gain salvation, tell them to confess all their sins, repent and refrain from such sins, and then receive baptism. This is the only sure way to salvation. Do not hearken to those who are out to deceive you, that they will give you ‘spirit’ at the bank of the water, in the forest, hills or mountains. Come to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and receive the Holy Spirit, free. The spirits you receive in any other place are elementary which later turns to destroy you.
A lot of people have problems in this Kingdom because they have refused to forsake their former cults and secret societies. This group of people could be likened unto a man sent away his old
Wife to marry a new one. After a short while, he rented a house outside the matrimonial home for the old wife. He secretly goes to the old wife; sleeps and eats with her. Gradually, the old one draws nearer until she comes back to the home. Immediately she enters the home again, trouble sparks and the entire family becomes disorganized. This is how some members of Brotherhood go back to their former societies, which they had earlier abandoned. One of our brothers from Trinidad who said he was a member of 36 secret societies for instance had gone back to them. Such people are bound to have problems, for “no man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment…” St. Matthew 9: 16-17.

The memorandum of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star makes it clear that a Brotherhood member has no association with the world. Similarly, the Holy Spirit has nothing to do with weeping, lamentation, fornication, murder, wars, and all manners of sin. The Holy Spirit brought peace because He is the King of Peace. He also brought joy and everlasting life to mankind. Any Brotherhood member who does not possess the Holy Spirit is an unbeliever. Such members are faithless. Faith cometh by hearing the words of God. Give people the words of God and they will ask you what to do in order to attain salvation. That was what happened to the Ethiopian Eunuch. Read Acts 8: 26-38. Immediately he baptized, all the Eunuch’s sins were forgiven and he received the Holy Spirit. Accordingly, whoever rejects baptism, his sins will ever be on him in this generation and the one to come.
This is the last chance given to all children of God to practice love, humility, charity, patience and all virtues of godliness. Our Lord Jesus Christ said ‘if ye love me, keep my commandments; and I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another comforter, that He may abide with you forever. Even the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him; but you know Him, for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. (John 14: 15-17). Accordingly, the Holy Spirit is the one doing all the great works in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.
Formerly, the world claimed that Brotherhood’s leadership is satanic. Now, they have seen love, righteousness, peace, patience, meekness, joy and holiness in the Leader himself, and their eyes are now opened. This is because if Satan can have true love, righteousness, holiness and all virtues of godliness, then it ceases to be Satan but God. Read the golden text again:
Golden text: St. John 3: 5
“Jesus answered, verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God”.

THE NECESSITY OF SPIRITUAL REBIRTH
In order to gain entry into the Kingdom of God, you must crucify the body and its lusts for you cannot serve God and Satan at the same time. You must forsake all sins, repent and be baptized; then you become a newborn child in the Spirit. The children of the world cannot do any good because they will be directed by one mind; to do good and the other takes the opposite stand. They end up doing the wrong thing, which is evil. On the contrary, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star believes in good deeds. There is peace, love, meekness, righteousness, joy and all godly virtues expressed by only one individual. That is why they usually comment that all Brotherhood have one voice.
Our Lord Jesus Christ has fulfilled His promise as stated in John 14: 15-16. That comforter is now with us. We therefore have nothing to worry about. We all live unto God and not to the world. We have nothing in common with the world. What we do is help the world, just to fulfill the principles of love, which is in us. The Holy Spirit has already revealed that any person who has any type of charms or diabolical substances should throw them away. Do not keep any such things in your house. The Holy Spirit is the force that is doing all things in this Kingdom. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

THANK YOU FATHER.

“BE LIKE GOD, FOR YOU ARE MINI GODS”

1ST LESSON: ST JOHN 10: 34
“Jesus answered, Is it not written in your law, I SAID, YE ARE GODS”

2ND LESSON: ROMANS 8: 16
“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our Spirit that we are the children of God”

GOLDEN TEXT: ST. JOHN 10: 35-36
“If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scriptures cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, thou blasphemest; because I said. I am the Son of God?”

BE LIKE GOD, FOR YOU ARE MINI-GODS
Brethren, open all your ears, your intellects, to imbibe this gospel. And the Father has already endowed you with the ability to understand these unique teachings and the recondite wisdom of truth. I implore every person to listen with attention. This recondite wisdom of truth is going to be proved mathematically to you as geometry and algebra. This gospel is going to bring to nothing the wisdom of wise, prudent, the great scientists and the philosophers. Therefore, it is imperative that you all open your minds and receive this gospel. The first question is do you believe in what is written in Genesis to Revelation in their totality? I need an answer? If you believe what is written in the Holy Bible, do you believe in what is written in Psalm 82: 6-7
“I have said, ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High, but ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.” That is what you are supposed to keep in mind always. Was it not written that ye are Gods? You often deny the veritable truth that man is God. The question is, if man is not God, what is he? Did God not create man in His image and likeness? I therefore stand here in the highest heavens to proclaim and affirm that you are Gods.

YOU ARE THE LITTLE GODS
When it is said there are Gods of the Heaven and Gods of the earth, we are all the Gods of the Heavens and Gods of the earth. Although you are the minor Gods, God is God; the size and form makes no difference. That is why God Himself, even the Spirit bears witness that we are the children of God: But the record should be put straight that you are not the Father, the Lord or the King. We have only one Father and one Lord. But you are of God and sons of the Living God. So you are little Gods. This has to be revealed to you, and it had been said and has been prophesied that this generation shall not pass away until these words are consummated. Therefore whenever you see a man, you are seeing God. And that is why wherever you see a man, that is God in His self-reflection.

WHAT YOU DO TO MAN IS DONE TO GOD
Whenever you call man God, you do not make any mistake in doing so. There is no better name you should call a man than God. It stands to reason therefore to reveal to you that whenever you commit any act of evil against your fellow man, you are directly doing it to God. If you think you are fighting with a man, you are making a great mistake, you are fighting against God. If you steal another man’s property, kill him, fornicate with his wife or children you are offending God. If you treat a man badly, hate him, disgrace him or abuse him, you are offending God. If you wage any war against man, you are directly waging war against God. If you curse or calumniate against any man, you are doing it to God. If you refuse to help a man, you have also refused to help God. If you manipulate a man or be crafty to any person, you are doing that to God. If you ill-treat or frustrate a man, you are doing the same thing to God.
If you are charitable to a man or love him, you are doing so to God. Therefore do not waste time gazing at the sky in the vain hope of seeing Jesus the Christ come back. Because, after all you are all Gods. Why you are God in the plurality is that you are the minor Gods. Each man is a small God. He is just like mother goat who gives birth to young ones. Are the young ones not still goats? It is just like a person who marries a wife, and she later delivers a bouncing baby; will you then say that because the new born baby is a child, he is not a human being? That is the fundamental situation that is comparable to the supreme God and the little Gods.
That is why you are asked to “love one another even as I have loved you”. And He goes on to say “I was hungry, and you gave me food, I was naked, and you gave me clothes, I was in the hospital, and you paid me a visit. I was in the prison yard and you came to console and comfort me”. And you will ask, “Master, when were you hungry and I gave food to eat, naked and I clothed you and visited you in the hospital or prison custody?” And He will answer and say, “Once you did this to any of your brethren, you were directly doing it for me”.

THOUGH MORTAL, YE ARE STILL GODS
What is man, My dear brethren, tell Me what man is? I am challenging the whole world to tell Me what a man is, if he is any other being than God. What is it that a man is not capable of doing? Our Lord Jesus Christ had said that a son can not do anything except that which His Father has asked Him to do. God had authorised man to rule over all other creations including fishes in water, birds of the air, animals in the bush, the moon, sun, star, fire, water, trees and everything. Man has been given the mandate to oversee everything; he rules and lords over them all. Man ate of the fruits of the tree of the middle of the garden and became as wise as God. When God saw that man has become as wise as Himself, He ordered that he should be driven out of the Garden of Eden so that he should not further worsen the situation by eating the tree of eternal life. Had man eaten this fruit of eternal life, man would have been immortal. But because he was driven out, man remains mortal.
That is why Psalm 82: 6-7 say, “But ye shall however die like a man or fall as the princes. Therefore if you die today that does diminish the fact that you are a mini-God. The erroneous concept held by a number of people should be disregarded. (And this gospel’s message should be delivered to the Father today by all means). It is idle to keep on insisting that man cannot be God. What of the portions of the Holy Bible, we are treating now? Have you forgotten about it? Therefore it is true that man is God, and whoever contests this truth will see the fire of God’s wrath burning on his head.

GOD IS IN HIS ELEMENT WHEN HE TAKES HUMAN FORM
It is then senseless to say that God should not come physically to dwell with man on earth. It is self-defeating to hold unto this misleading idea that God cannot be in the form of man. You keep on bothering yourselves about all these elementary and childish ideas concerning God. That is why dear brethren, it is clearly stated in the Holy Bible that whoever does not love, is in darkness. And if you do not love your fellow man, how can you love God whom you cannot physically see. It is high time that you stop that foolishness. I wonder how to make you accept without any doubt that man is God. The only thing that can perturb man is the shame and disgrace that man has all the time been subjected to, once he is of God. Yes it is man’s inability to bear such hardship and humiliation. Yet man is a mini-God in reality, and also the image of the living God. So always bear this in mind that whatever you do to men you are doing to God.

CHIPS OF A BLOCK OF GOLD ARE GOLD
Brethren, that is why the Father has given the teachings on equality to support the fact that any evil done to another person is done to God and done to yourself. We are all the children of God. For example if you cut off small portion from gold and use in making bangles, earrings, or finger rings, gold will still remain gold, no matter into what shape it has been committed. So you are chips of God. Therefore whatever good thing you do, you are doing it for God, and also to yourself. Meanwhile, when you know the truth, the truth shall set you free. As soon as you come to the realization that man is God, you will no longer commit any evil against any person. You will no longer do any vicious act against any fellow man. And eventually you will stay in love with your fellow man.
Meanwhile, if you visit a strange place, which is fully electrified, with good roads and other modern infrastructures, but there is no single individual, what will you do there? If you dream and you happen to see a strange city which is without people, what will you tell people when you wake up from sleep? But on the other hand, if you see a man in your dream with long beard, seated in a kingly throne, with all his paraphernalia, and he tells you in a deep voice, I am God, when you wake up the following morning, you will tell people that you have seen God. I do not mean to manipulate you, henceforth, if any person says that he is not God, you should tell him “man you do not know thyself”. That is why I do not hate, or cheat you nor am I being cunning to you. I love and so extend My expression of love to all of you because I know that you are part and parcel of God Almighty.

BUT THERE IS ONE ALMIGHTY GOD – OUR FATHER
As it is recorded in St. Matthew 23: 7-10, Our Lord Jesus Christ has said that you shall call no man Rabbi, for one is your master, even Jesus the Christ and all of you are brethren. You should call no man Father upon the earth, for one is your Father which is in Heaven, neither call you any person master or teacher for only one is your master and teacher even Jesus the Christ.
We have only one Almighty Father and one Almighty Lord and King who owns the universe and us. We cannot exist alone. We are just like the branches of the tree. Does it mean that if a person has one thousand children, the children are no longer his own because they are too many? Or will you say that we are also not the children of the founder of this earth because His children are rather too numerous? Therefore that kind of foolish reasoning should stop forthwith. This gospel shall be written, and published for distribution to the entire world. You should also help in giving out copies to people who dare to contend with you on the fact of man being God in reality. Those who refuse to believe are unfortunate. The word of God cannot come out for nothing. Its intent and purpose must always be fulfilled. If you are not God, what are you? Where do you come from? Gold could be used to manufacture any jewelry, gold-ring, gold bangles, gold earrings and necklaces. Turn gold into anything, gold will still be gold. So God remains God even though we call the outcome by the word man. Let our 1st lesson be read, as I do not want to belabour you:

1st Lesson: St. John 10: 34
“Jesus answered, Is it not written in your law, I SAID YE ARE GODS”.
You claim that you believe in the words of the Holy Bible, why do you not believe that man is God? I believe very firmly that whenever you hate a man, you automatically hate God. When you see a man, you are seeing God. Man is the temple and the house of God. Man is the farm or the vineyard of God. If there is something that can make you to come to the realization of yourself, it should be this unique gospel given to you. Today, therefore, whatever good you do to a man, you are doing it for God.

THE EVIL YOU DO TO OTHERS BEFALLS YOU
When you come to this recondite wisdom, you will not hate, backbite, cause division, fight, cheat or fornicate. Our Lord Jesus Christ used His precious blood to atone for our numerous sins and to unite us together. Those who have come to this consciousness cannot create a situation whereby they build tin gods to lord it over others.
There is nothing very effective or meaningful, that an individual can do of his own. We should not allow the blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ to be in vain, this blood He has shed to unite humanity together. The only unifying force, which can withstand the test of time is love. The limit which, Adam could reach was where his wisdom stopped. If he had come to the wisdom that God is dwelling in man, he would not have done what he did. You are witnesses to the fact that when a child is born, you have to groom the child to grow up to be a useful individual. But while the child grows, you will not be conscious of his growth. If man had realized himself he would not have stolen, taken drugs, kill, fornicate or hate his fellow man. But the wisdom eluded him because he does not know himself and does not have enduring patience.

WE ARE GODS WHEN WE ATTAIN PURITY
The ten commandments were brought by Moses for the guidance of man. One of them says that “You should have no other God besides Me”. The sum total of it all is that you should purify yourself. Then all the vices such as fornication, backbite, murder, should be refrained from, and it is in this state of absolute purity we can realize ourselves as Gods. God and the Spirit of God in us bears witness with our spirit that we are God and children of the living God. The emphasis is laid on “the spirit in us”. If you say that you are not God, what are you? The Lord God wants all things to be under the supreme Lord and King. We have spirits in us which witness with another that we are God’s children. The Father is the one who owns everything and us, and Jesus Christ is the Lord of Lords, and the King of Kings.

WHEN YOU FEED THE HUNGRY AND GIVE AIDS TO THE POOR YOU ARE DOING IT FOR GOD
Brethren, I do not say things with the intent of tricking you. When did God stay hungry, or when was He thirsty and so on? So when God says “when I was hungry”, it means “when man was hungry”. Therefore whatever you do unto man, you are doing it to God. And in doing good you are directly glorifying God. The so called wisdom of man, has been exposed as zero, because if he had so much wisdom he could have known that when you help another man, you are helping yourself and God also. After all man does not even know the number of strands of hair on his head. It is only God alone who can accord any person the ability to do anything. Although man is God, yet he is not the Father or the Lord and King. It will be recalled that the interpreter, Bro. Essien wrote a book of which the chief physiologist in the University became very critical. Although he agreed with what Dr. Essien the interpreter wrote on the concept of vegetarianism was true, and that the eating of fish and meat should be stopped, but he said this was a secret to be hidden away from the general public in the interest of the profession. He failed to realise the health hazard and the overall interest of the masses who have in one way or the other met their death because of professional self interest.

I am happy whenever there is the Elder’s Week, the Father uses it to reveal much recondite wisdom of God. For instance you may call your God to come and help you; and eventually a man comes to render you some help, and you call upon a man to come and help you, but God comes to your aid. You can see that even in a small child, there is that semblance of God in him. If you do something for your fellow man, you are in effect doing it for God.
This could be likened to a situation where people are playing in a pool of water and one of them continue to dive into and out of the water asking the rest to find him. As he continues to dive in and out of the water, he may finally disappear from their sight. The on-lookers may think that the swimmer is drowned inside the water, because they do not see him. But suddenly the man they supposed to have got lost in the water emerge to the surprise of the on-lookers. He is the same person. Does these things not happen in this way? This reveals that God is with men, hiding in their midst. But have you seen him? The same God lives in you. You are the vineyard, house; you are God’s sheep; you are His vineyard, you are God’s city, you are man and you are spirit. Even as the spirit has confessed that ye are Gods, but do you believe this? You are not conscious of the God in you because you do not know yourself: even from the hair of your head down to the toes of your feet. No man can do anything of himself except the ability to do so comes from the Father.

If the Father does not give you the ability you cannot know anything about God. I again referred to the case where the Father used the interpreter to publish a book sometime ago, on the medical aspects of vegetarianism. The book circulated around the medical college of the University. But the chief Physiologist became infuriated with the contents of this book. He was annoyed not because the book contents is untrue, but because his view was that, he should not have revealed this secret to the public. Because that is only restricted to the medical profession, which is not exposed to students who take it as a course in the medical school. The interpreter was almost expelled. But in the heat of the crisis, the Holy Father appeared on the television and preached a sermon on the concept of vegetarianism to the whole nation and the world. This sermon of the Father was universally accepted and this interpreter was freed.
At the end of it all, it became clear that what the Father used the interpreter to write was the truth with the full backing of the Holy Spirit. And so this is what is happening today. If the Father does not give you ability to know that you are gods, you can never know, let alone accept the fact that you are gods. That is why when God pass through someone to help you, and some one else tells you that it is God who renders the help to you, you doubt it. You will wonder how come it is God? But if man is not God, what then is man? Think of a situation when you conceive a plan to deceive another person and immediately this your evil thoughts and plan interacts with the mind of that particular person. He would make plans to deceive you also. And eventually as you succeed in deceiving him, each rejoices that he has deceived the other. Both of you are fools. This reveals that any evil plan that you conceive and eventually do to any person, you are thinking and doing same to yourself. That is why Our Lord Jesus Christ say “any city divided against itself cannot stand; and any kingdom divided against itself stands desolate and is bound to fall”.

The main reason why Christ shed the blood was to unite all men together. And once the blood was shed, this unity of all the children of God had been achieved. Every person has been united unto the Father. And there is only one Father, one Lord and one King. He is an indivisible whole. The entire earth is also but under the control of man, including the water, fishes, animals, birds, trees and all other created things are subjected unto man to rule over. If all these things are subjected under your rulership, why do you still say, that you are not God? If you are not God, what else are you? Blindness is a bad sickness and Our Lord Jesus Christ knew this quite well. That is why for merely saying that “I and the Father are one” He was killed. What if He had said openly He was God, don’t you think that they would have killed Him earlier? Because of man’s blindness, Our Lord Jesus Christ implored us to love our enemies, pray for those who persecute, ridicule and say all manner of bad things against us the children of God so that we might resemble our heavenly Father, for He makes the sun to shine on the just and the unjust and sendeth rain to both good and bad people. We should be perfect as our Father is perfect. This confirms that we have one and same God. That we should love one another as the Father loved us. This clearly indicates that when you slap a man, you are directly slapping God; whenever you tell lies to a man, you have told lies to God. If you had known this, you would not have carried out any evil plan against any man. For it is said any kingdom divided against itself cannot stand.

MAN AND GOD AS INSEPARABLE AS FLESH AND BLOOD
The cause of evil, hardships and untold sufferings, prevalent in the world is because every man plans against his fellow human being. And because of this the Kingdom of the world has fallen, never to rise again. No progress or prosperity, but adversity all round. Had you known this, who would have killed his fellow human being knowing that the man is God? Who would have arrested his fellow man or count sin against any person? You would not have done that if you had this recondite wisdom that anything you do unto man, you are doing same directly unto God.
You can see God even in the sands of the soil, in the water, trees, animals, man and all creation. That is why if you look at a man, you should be afraid to talk to him. You should dread him, because of the God in him. If you are afraid of doing evil to mere man, so much more if it be to God Himself.
You can recall vividly the story of Shylock and Anthonio in Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice. It was an agreement between Shylock and Anthonio that if Anthonio would not repay the debt he owed Shylock, within the given period, Shylock would accept no other compensation whatsoever, but a pound of flesh from nearer Anthonio’s heart. As the case proceeded, the wife of Anthonio used the technicality of the law profession and accepted the evidence of the case, that Anthonio must pay for his debts. Shylock was given the knife to cut out the pound of flesh from nearer Anthony’s heart, but provided that no blood should drop down in the process. How can this be: it was impossible for Shylock to cut the pound of flesh from Anthonio’s chest without any blood so also you cannot separate God from man. That is why Christ said let the wheats and the tares grow together until the harvest when the wheats will be gathered into the barn and the tares set on fire. But now you have resisted the will of God, there is no way you can kill a man without killing God; and there is no way you can tell lies to a man without telling same lies to God. Whatever you do unto a man whether in thought and/or in deed you do same unto God. This is why Our Lord Jesus Christ said let the wheats and the tares together grow until the harvest, but today you don’t allow the will of God to take place. You that argue, debate and be a Thomas. Listen to the second lesson:

2nd Lesson: St. John 8: 16
“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our Spirit that we are the children of God”.

Have you heard that? You are all small gods, you are not the Father, you are not the Lord, and you are not the King. For the Gospel itself bears witness with our spirits that we are gods. Do not be deceived by the phraseology. The expression that ye are children of God means that ye are the smaller gods. But if you are not God who then is man? Tell Me. You can now see the cause of the downfall of the entire habitants of the world because no one person knows himself.
It is said man know thyself. If you knew that you are God, would you have done anything ungodly? You would not have told lies; committed fornication and adultery? You would not have stolen or murdered, consented to the worship of trees, stones, snakes and other aspects of idolatry, you would not have committed any ungodly act.
Remember when Our Lord Jesus Christ healed a person on a Sabbath, the Pharisees accused Him of disrespecting the Holy Sabbath. But He told them My Father worketh, hitherto I work. That a son cannot do anything unless that which he sees his father doing. That is why He said “I am the way, the truth and the life, that no man come unto the Father but by Me. I am the vine and My Father is the vine dresser”. So we are the branches. As long as the branches cannot produce any fruits independently of the tree, so we cannot do any good thing unless we are part of the Father.

The problem with the entire world is that we do not know ourselves; we do not know ourselves to be any good. And because we do not know ourselves we do not also know that Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and Saviour, we stay like sheep without a shepherd.
The word of God has made it clear to us that we are the temple of the most High God. It is the Spirit of God, which dwells in us. The Holy Spirit dwelling in us is responsible for all these good works we do. He takes us to many places to perform various wonderful works. We should never feel that these works are done by ourselves. These works are performed by the Holy Spirit. We are just His tools and witnesses to these wonderful works done by the Holy Sprit.
That is why when you are directed by the Spirit to reveal to a person that she is a witch, she wonders how you come to know that she is a witch. She will say that you must be a witch also to be able to know her as a witch. When God speaks the words, which pass through your mouth to other people, such spoken words often come to fulfillment. The people will become afraid of you. And would ask you to go away with your witchery. This is so because the word you have spoken have become manifest. The God in you has been using you to travel and say things to the people and your words always come true. All these point out to the fact that you are gods. But with all these things, did you ever know, let alone accept the fact that you are gods?
The expatiation “The Father” connotes the supreme being. And from Him all the creation take their existence. The expression Lord and King connotes Our Lord Jesus Christ, who had been appointed to oversee all the creation of God. Now if five people are chosen and sent on a trip, it is customary to appoint one of them as the leader or head of the group. He is still a man. There has always been a head of group. The other members of the group are not different, in any way, from the leader of the group. The group, the body remains one, leader plus followers together.

That explains why Our Lord Jesus Christ told His disciples; “for I have not yet ascended to My Father, your Father, My God and your God, therefore, touch Me not”. And He said “if you know what this means” you would rejoice indeed because I tell you, I go to My Father who is greater than Myself”. What does that greatness mean? That indicates the bigger Father (God). So the Almighty God has SWALLOWED up all other gods. But the fact that we (the smaller gods) have been swallowed up by the Almighty God does not in any way deprive us from being Gods. We still maintain our position as mini-gods.
All those who are involved in the successful production of this gospel, the blessing due to them can better be imagined than described. Now the scales have fallen off your eyes and the wax removed from your ears and your stone-heart made soft and you will realize that all the bullying of people, boxing one another, dehumanising people and all other atrocities committed against man are against God. It has become clear to you that anything whatsoever you do to any man you do directly to God. Right here in our midst there are some people who have perceived some evil thoughts against other people. My children since you have been exposed to this recondite wisdom of truth, all those negative thoughts in your minds have been discarded. You would henceforth think well of every person.
Right now, we are the sons of the Most High God. However we have only one Almighty God, one Lord and one King, this is what has left people wondering why the one and only God should be present in you, in Me, in every other person. This only shows that they are not convinced on the omnipresence attribute of God. The truth is that we have one God Almighty and we are the mini-gods. Thus, oneness of God with all His creations is inevitable. With Him there is no division, no class distinction. Your position and status in life cannot alter this oneness whether you are a child or adult, a male, or female, whether you are poor or you are rich. It has nothing to do with this conception of oneness and equality.
We are all small gods, sons of the Most High God. This one and only God is the one present in us all. There is only one God and one Son of God, but when you add together all these smaller gods, they constitute Jehovah God and His Christ; which is just one God. The Father, God and the Holy Spirit are but one God. The Father is not different from the Son. The Son is not different from the Father. They created all things and thereafter the Son to rule over all the creations. The Father and the Son are one indivisible entity.

It is said that half education is dangerous. The ignorance of the fact that man is God has led many people into empty boasting that they belong to the mermaid family. What is the tree that you worship, the water, stones, animals and other creatures that you are given to worship? Are all these things not created by God and subjected to man to rule? Who is man? Man is a god. There is only one God who is present in each and every creations of God. But after God had completed all His creation, He breathed His own spirit into man, this is what makes man greater than every other creations of God. For as man has been set up, all other creatures of God have been subjected under the superintendency of man. As soon as you believe in this gospel, you have got your salvation and I believe that this gospel salvages the entire world. And whatsoever remains for the salvation of man this gospel has already completed it.

MINI-GODS MUST RESEMBLE GOD
All the teaching that you receive here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star confirm this fact. God can never tell a lie. We are Gods and therefore it becomes inevitable for you to be revealed as the Gods that you are. And therefore it becomes clear that you should no longer wage war against any person. You do not need to lie or commit murder and other atrocities. For if you fight, whom are you fighting against? If you steal, whom do you steal from? The fact is that we are just one indivisible entity with the one and only Father. It is also said in Romans 8: 19 that the whole world is anxiously expecting the revelation of the children of God.
And so now you have all been revealed as the children of God. It has also been said in 1 John 3: 2, that we are the sons of God, “it is not yet revealed what we are, but that when He shall be revealed, we shall see Him and we shall be like Him”. Is it a simple thing for anyone to tell a man not to eat fish and meat? Is it a small thing for a man to stand before the congregation and tell them not to drink? Is it a simple thing for a man to stand at the Alter and declare that man should not fornicate? Any person who dares so forbid his congregation gets into trouble even before he ends his sermon. His course would not be found, soon after he quit speaking, I ask you? Is it so simple thing for anyone to stand and declare that man is God?
Just try it and see the consequence. Even you have heard a testimony that right up there in the north, one person stood up to say something like that, people surrounded him and called the police for him. Even the government of the country would not take it kindly with anyone who would arrogate himself as being God. In Bendel State somebody proclaimed that he is God and the government of Bendel State got him locked up. They told him to stay there in the cell and tell people how he ever became God. But this one has declared and proclaimed from the highest heaven that man is God, all men are sons of God, and man is mini-god of the most High God.
Right now every person has come to the understanding of the truth that man is mini-god. Not the Almighty God, but little gods. Therefore as gods even though small, you have to resemble your Father the Almighty God. You have to resemble your Father in love, in truth, in patience, in humility, meekness and lowliness of the mind and in every other virtue. In this way you the small gods and your Father, the Almighty God would be one. That is why when the disciples of John the Baptist saw Our Lord Jesus Christ and His disciples baptising. They told John “Look the person you baptised, is now baptising other people over the Jordan”, that John should give them the authority to go and stop him (Christ and His disciples) from baptising people. But John the Baptist told them, “No one can receive anything except that is given Him from Heaven”.
It is not that Our Lord Jesus Christ did not know all these, but it was not given Him to have expounded or expantiate on the divine teachings. For it is written about Him that He should speak in parable and preserve the recondite wisdom until the Comforter the Holy Spirit comes and unfold the truth teaching and lead every man to the accurate knowledge of the truth. Therefore Our Lord Jesus Christ had to conform with the prophesy by speaking in parables. But right now the Holy Spirit has come indeed to reveal the recondite wisdom in full. Right now the scales have fallen off your eyes. You are very much aware that any person whosoever stands up to say that He is God, you will see that people will not allow him to ever go scot-free. But now I stand in the highest Heaven to declare that you are gods, sons of the Most High. And you also testify that you have seen God face to face yet nobody lay hands on us. Let our golden text be read to confirm that all the words of God will not pass away unfulfilled.

Golden Text: St. John 10: 35-36
“If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scriptures cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, thou blasphemest; because I said. I am the Son of God?”

YOUR CLAIM TO BE MINI-GODS IS NO BLASPHEMY
Have you not seen how the truth has been proved? Can anyone challenge this? None, for God Himself has said in the bible that ye are Gods. What sin has a person committed if he says he is God, and that you are Gods? If you believe that you are God and every one believes that he is God, there is that tendency to avoid hatred, killing division, envy etc. Rather we shall regard ourselves as one flock under one shepherd. When you say that you are gods, you do not err. It is however blasphemous to say, you are the Father, Lord and King. Are you the Father, the Lord, the King? No. You are not.

MAN IS THE GOD OF THE EARTH
When you hear of God of heaven and God of earth, you are the gods of the earth. You are equally the salt of the earth, and as the salt of the earth, you have to sweeten things for all persons. When you hear a person exclaiming, God, come and help me, it is man who is used to give the help to that needy man. The Father is the one who owns everything, while Our Lord Jesus Christ is the one who Lords over everything. Still we are all Gods. None of us can do anything by himself unless the ability is given to such a person by the Father. And so we do everything in accordance to His injunction. For it was written “this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord, I will put My laws into their minds, and write them in their hearts, and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to Me a people. And they shall not teach every man his brother saying, know the Lord, for all shall know Me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more”. Have these words not come to full manifestation today?

AS GODS, BE THEREFORE AS VIRTUOUS AS GOD
It is evident that we are the different parts of God, but we are constituted into one; that is why it is said that as soon as you come to this realisation, or recognise the fact that you are Gods, it will then be incumbent on us to do everything to resemble God. That means that you should be humble, meek, patient, merciful, truthful, loving and so on. In all aspect of your life, you have to show that you have the virtues of God in you. If you were not Gods, why should He give you the power to rule over fishes in water, birds of the air, animals in the bush, all creeping things and all His creation. And above all, why did He create you in His image. No far reaching changes will take place in us except we follow His pattern of life as God; we are duty bound to resemble Him. He will not need any other teachings about Him except the practical aspect of His life. What is the image and the likeness of God in us? They are love, joy, mercy, temperance and the rest of the heavenly virtues. Right now we should be identified by these virtues in words and practice. You are the salt of the earth and wherever you go to, you should be so identified. That is why wherever you find people with unsolvable problems such people are advised to go to Brotherhood for solution. You are all witnesses to this truth that wherever you go, you are being identified and approached as the children of God. And wherever you offer them prayers and the word of God they have peace, joy and happiness. I would further prove Biblically to you that you are gods. Hebrews 2: 8 confirms this claim as the self evident truth. It is said that blindness is a bad thing, all powers are in you, but you do not come to this realization. Hebrews 2: 8; refers:- “Thou has put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him”. It is unfortunate that you have not realized that you are the power house of God. All the powers have been given to you but you are yet to realise or utilise the power.

JEHOVAH GOD AND HIS CHRIST ARE IN FIRM CONTROL OVER ALL THINGS:
It is a fact that Jehovah God and His Christ are in control over all situations in all the planes of manifest. They have to rule and reign over everything and put everything in the divine way. We should therefore not claim superiority over any person. We should stay peacefully with one another, showing absolute expression of love to one another. That is what this Kingdom admits of, no fighting and quarreling. There is no man or woman, no young or old man, no black, white or coloured people. This Kingdom is a model of stability, joy, peace and happiness. There is no lighting of candles here, there is no beating of drums, and we don’t use incenses and perfumes. We are to pool all our resources together for the common good of all the brethren. And at the end of it all there would be joy and stability for the Father and His children. It is the responsibility of the Father to take care and to protect all His children all over the world. A child would always take care of his father where he is thankful to the Father for good done to him. And since it is the Father who takes care of all His children we therefore have to be grateful to the Holy Father.

THIS GOSPEL’S BLESSINGS ARE UNIQUE
I give thanks to the Father having released this unique gospel message to the entire world. The Father has blessed those who write this gospel, the interpreter and those who are to listen to this gospel are immensely blessed. Those who shall be associated in one way or the other in the production of this gospel for dissemination and those who shall read and put same into practical application are greatly blessed. Those who believe in this gospel, the Father has blessed them, and this gospel message above all, has brought salvation into the entire universe. We have to resemble our Father, because usually a good child resembles his Father. We have to listen to Him. We must love him and have faith and belief in Him. We have to put all our hopes on Him. We do not have to be disorderly any longer. We should not constitute ourselves into busy bodies to hinder the progress of others who are using the spirit of their daily endeavours to foster the work of the Father in the vineyard. Let us leave all judgement and vengeance in the just and powerful hands of the Father. A child does not speak in parables.
When a child kills an animal in the bush, he is the owner of the animal while in the bush, but when the animal is taken home, it belongs to his Father. When the Holy Spirit did not come, we had been disorderly and unholy in our lives; but now that the Holy Spirit has come, you have to put on godliness. You are very aware of the Spiritual song we used to sing. “Spirit of the Lord come and lead us”. It has been written that you will lead us. Henceforth we should allow the Holy Spirit to be leading us in all aspects of our lives. If the spirit directs us in all our affairs, we shall have no problems. This is just the summary of what has been done during the week set aside by the Father through the Elder’s Week. The week has been a unique one in which the recondite wisdom of God has been expatiated unto His children.

Brethren, I do not want to take you further, it is said that a stroke of the cane is enough for the wise, let those who have ears to hear, let them hear, may God bless His Holy Words. A-men.

Thank you Good Father.

AN EVERLASTING GOSPEL DELIVERED BY THE HOLY FATHER, THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER AND SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU (WHQ) 34 AMBO ST CALABAR NIGERIA

“BEFORE HONOUR, IS HUMILITY”

1ST LESSON: JAMES 4 : 10
“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up”.

2ND LESSON: ST. LUKE 14 : 10
“But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shall thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee”.

GOLDEN TEXT PHILLIPIANS 2 : 8-9
“And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name”.
Brethren, that is our lesson. That is what is mostly lacking amongst you. But the Father knows the different shortcomings in you and day after day, He is removing and demolishing them. If you were to humble yourself before the Lord, would you have quarreled before Me? Would you have fought before Me? Would you have murmured against any person before Me? Would you have argued before Me? All these unwholesome behaviour reveal you. If you should commit these offenses before Me, what happens behind Me? You struggle to sing songs and to offer prayers before Me. You scramble for positions before Me.

MAN’S FRAILTIES
The Father has seen your shortcoming, that is why He has chosen this night to lay bare, these shortcomings before you. There is none of you in Brotherhood who is cool-headed and humble to the other person. Even if you speak to a very small child, he will warn you not to speak to him in that manner. A wife in the house does not accept to humble herself before the husband. Similarly, the husband does not submit himself to the wife. Even a stranger in the house will claim that the house belongs to his Father, Olumba Olumba Obu and as such he will break open your bedroom and search your boxes and wardrobes to remove whatever he likes. He will claim it is Obu’s box if you dare ask him.

HUMILITY: THE FOUNDATION OF GREATNESS
The way and manner you speak one to the other, leaves much to be desired. It does not seem you have received any teachings from God. Wherever you go to, you want to sit in the forefront. Wherever you find yourself, you want to be known. Have you heard what the first lesson said? “Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up”. One of the most important virtues in this Kingdom is humility, because it is said before honour is humility. If you were to be humble, you would not struggle for common bread. If you were to humble yourself, you would not live a reprobate life.

ANY POSITION A MAN OCCUPIES CALLS FOR HUMILITY
Today, the Father has taught us to be humble even while walking along the streets, or in our homes, or at functions and wherever else we may be. In the matrimonial home, the husband is yours, but do not seize the privilege to do anything you like. Everybody knows that the man is your carnal father and that the woman is your carnal mother but do not boast and exalt yourself because of this. Humble yourself. Everybody knows the Father gives the car you drive to you. Humble yourself to the ground. Whether God has made you a chief, your position calls for humility. If God has appointed you a governor, humble yourself to the point of prostrating. If God has ordained you a pastor, humble yourself to the ground. If the Father has made you a Leader’s Representative or at whatever position you are kept, humble yourself in the sight of God always.

DO NOT PRAISE YOURSELF
If we can humble ourselves and not puffing up, God will lift us up. You know one spiritual chorus we have which says, “if you want to walk with me, humble yourself as a little child”. Whether you are a choirmaster or choirmistress, whatever you are, you have to humble yourself. Even if you erected the Bethel building, the money you spent in building belongs to the Father, the Bethel is built by the Father, therefore, humble yourself. Allow others to praise you, do not praise yourself.

HE WAS EXALTED BECAUSE OF HUMILITY
Brethren, the most important thing in this Kingdom of God is humility. It is a promise that those who humble themselves, God will exalt them. Have you not heard what happened to our Lord Jesus Christ? It was because of humility that God gave Him a name, which is above every name. It was not because of raising the dead that God exalted His name. It was not because of preaching the word of God in every city that God exalted His name. It was not because He made the blind to see that God exalted His name. But it was because He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. His humility implies that when people slapped Him, He did not retaliate. When they made allegations against Him, He did not bandy words with them; and they jumped on Him, but He did not budge, to the extend that Pilate snapped at Him: “Upon all these allegations He says nothing to defend Himself”. But He kept quiet. Even when Peter cut off the right ear of the servant of the high priest, He rebuked Peter. And said, “Put up thy sword into the sheath; for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword”. He picked up the piece of ear and put it in its place. It was then that He told Peter, “Thinketh thou that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He shall presently give Me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be”? Can you see humility at work?

ALWAYS ALLOW THE WILL OF GOD TO PREVAIL
He was so humble to the point of prostrating on the ground to plead to the Father, saying, “Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from Me nevertheless not My will, but thine, be done”. Can you observe humility? He has never resisted the will of God; but in your own case, you keep certain conditions before God. That if He does not heal you of your infirmities, you will not take Him for the true God, or that He should not allow your enemies to laugh at you and ask where is that your God? Do you not realize that these things amount to vainglory? You speak unseemly against God. You speak forcefully and without the fear of God.

CALL UPON THE FATHER WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING
Remember how that Pharisee prayed with arrogance, expressing how he paid tithe of one tenth of his earnings, fasted twice a week and not like unto the evil man, the Publican. Can you see pride and pomposity in him? But the Publican could not even lift up his eyes to the sky. He placed his hands on his chest and prayed God to be merciful to him a sinner. Can you realise absolute humility at work? But in your own case, you will forcefully shout on Olumba Olumba Obu to do one thing or the other for you. What does this show? You cannot shout on your carnal friend or brother in that manner. But Olumba Olumba Obu is the name you shout on at random and even use it as threats to people along the streets.
What are these things? They signify vainglory and strife. At certain times you come out here and pray for one hour. What does it mean? Is it not pomposity? Brethren, we should strive because the things we have less regards to, are highly esteemed before God. When you are beset with a little problem or sickness, you will seek to apply medication as means of help. Is that humility? Are you not after self-help ventures? Why do you not surrender yourself completely and let the sickness carry out its intention in you. Somebody comes to abuse and curse you, and you return fire for fire. Have you humbled yourself? Have you surrendered yourself unto God? When our Lord Jesus Christ was cursed and abused, did you hear His voice?
Brethren, let us humble ourselves. You are also witnesses to the fact that upon all the allegations and blackmail, you have not heard His statement of defence. Many of you struggle for the inclusion of Brotherhood’s name in organised functions and ceremonies. Have you ever heard Me ask for such recognition? I do not want it in any way. Brethren, I do not intend to take you far, the first lesson will now be read:

1st Lesson: James 4: 10
“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up”.

Brethren, have you heard what is read unto you? You who promised not to agree with whatever somebody says, have you heard what is read unto you? Those of you who are arrogant, have you heard that? Those of you who try to help yourselves, have you heard that? Those of you who are self-conceited, have you heard it?

LET HUMILITY OVER-RIDE YOUR OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
It is not he, who saves himself that is saved but he who surrenders his life. If per chance somebody collects your belongings in an extortionate way, you hand it over to God. If you are cursed, abused or your character defamed, if you do not retort, the Father will repay you. I have taught you that even in your families, you should not bother about anything. Take the least position, as a very sinful person. Wherever you are invited, take the least seat. Do not seek for a place on the high table but chose the lowest.
Brethren, if we practise this gospel which tells us, “humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up,” we will see it work like magic. Put it to test and you will realise how you will be exalted. The reason behind buying glamorous dresses, living in imposing houses and seeking for position is that you may be recognized. Have you been recognized? All this time you have been quarreling, fighting and bringing out your eyes from your socket, are you not struggling for positions? Do you have these positions? If you should know that you are ever before God, in your house and everywhere, would you not have humbled yourself before Him?

ALLOW THE WILL OF GOD TO REIGN SUPREME
This promise is an eternal covenant. You have observed it even here in Brotherhood. Have you ever heard or witnessed us saying there should be rain or that there should be no rain? It is an insult. Have you ever heard us pray that somebody should not be sick or that God should not allow our enemies to ask where is that your God? Have you heard us say that a particular thing should happen and not the other? It amounts to vainglory, pomposity and arrogance. Have you ever heard us murmur against God or questioning why He should do one thing and not the other.
What is required of us by God is absolute humility. He will not fail to lift you up if, from this day, you humble yourself and become like a fool. Even in your pattern of life, the way you speak, speak with reverence to God, and give Him glory. When you are walking, march the ground as if it belongs to somebody, for it is not yours. Even though it belongs to your Father, you ought to walk carefully. Whatever you are engaged in, do not behave as if there is nobody, because there is somebody, When you are thinking, do not be so high-minded as if you are the only cock to crow. Always think little of a thing with the mind that God is in existence, and give Him glory. When you are speaking, say nothing unseemly. Speak with gentleness and lowliness of heart, knowing that God is in existence. When you exalt yourself, He will debase you.

ONLY GOD LIFTS YOU UP
There were events in the life of our Lord Jesus Christ that would have caused Him to speak and raise His voice, but can you notice how He behaved? In the midst of tribulation and death, He left everything with humility to the Father. Whether you are the first daughter or first son and the family tends to reject you, do not bother. Do not look for the position. If your right as the first son, or second son or first daughter or as a child has been denied you, do not question. Forget about it, do not seek for recognition; God will surely remember you. It is not the person who claims to be something before God, is recommended by God. Also it is not he, who exalts himself that is being lifted up by God, but he, who humbles himself, is lifted up by God. Even if you are before a little child and he commands you to stand still, obey with respect and God will lift you up. Even if a brother abuses you and calls you names, and questions your stand in Brotherhood, say peace to him and go your way quietly. God will lift you up.

NAME ABOVE ALL OTHER NAMES
A critical examination of what happened to our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross reveals His humble nature. They jeered at Him and asked, “If you are the Son of God, come down and save yourself”. He said nothing but kept quiet. I do not think that there is any person in the world who can argue that what happened to our Lord Jesus Christ has ever happened to him. It is because of His humility, even unto death that God had highly exalted Him, and given Him a name, which is above all other name.
People had come and gone, but which of them has God exalted and given Him a name which is above every name? People preach the word of God, raise the dead, make the blind to see, the lame to walk and are generous to people, but God has not given any of them a name which is above every name. Elijah himself prayed to God that there should be no rain and for three years and six months there was no rain. Was that not vainglory or strife? After sometime he prayed that God should open the sky and God did, and there was rain. Have you been told that God gave him a name, which is above every name? Even our father Abraham, when he heard that Lot, his nephew, and his entire household were arrested by the army, he was not humbled. He rather gathered four hundred soldiers and marched to that city and liberated his nephew. Upon the shouts on our father Abraham, do you find God giving him a name above every name? It is on this basis that our Lord Jesus Christ did say, in My Father’s house there are many mansions. God can give you good health, but does not lift your name up. He can give you children but He will not lift your name up. God can bestow eternal life on you, but he will not give you a name above every name. He has diversities of gifts but the greatest gift is for Him to lift your name up. To whom does this gift belong? It does not belong to millionaires. It does not belong to preachers. It does not belong to healers. It is meant for those who humble themselves to the point of prostrating. That is why it is said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of God. When a person smites you, buffets you, spits on you, extorts your belongings, and you neither budge nor retort, you have the qualities of our Lord Jesus Christ. You are denied your rightful position, or whatever may be done to you, and you do not say anything, neither do you bother. These, are those whose names will be lifted up by Him. But whom amongst you will afford to sit down in his house and somebody marches in and holds people captives and beats them up without his rising up in defence? If you rise up to fight, it means you have failed colossally.

PATIENCE IN TRIBULATION
I know that many of you are sad about this gospel because when you hear people say that Brotherhood is Beelzebub, witchery, vampire, apparition, you are infuriated with such a person hoping that you are doing the work of God. The moment you do this, you have failed completely. Do you think that the Father is not the doer of all these things? He knows about them. They are meant to test us. It is said, “Blessed is he who endures temptation. I personally know that these are all tests. That is why I am what you find Me. Because from time to time, He makes known to us that there is going to be examination. That being the case, I have no problems at all. In your own case because you have neither seen nor known Him, that is why you react violently to what you hear. You are red when it is said that Brotherhood is Beelzebub and vampire. You will no longer go to the person’s house because you will feel he has offended you. Do you seek after glory? Because it is said that Brotherhood is not one of the Christian churches, you rise in anger to defend. Is that not strife? I am not interested in whatever you call Me. Whether you call it apparition or anything; I have no business in it.

THE FATHER IS A MODEL OF HUMILITY
It is said when you see the dead man tears will begin to roll down your cheeks. Now you have seen the dead man, where are tears on your cheeks? I instruct you to forsake sin, neither to tell lies, nor to fornicate, but you still commit sins and yet I always turn round to beg you not to be exasperated and not to do those things anymore. I have the full right to expel you, or excommunicate you without any redress or anything flapping its wings.
Are you not surprised that when a person steals, he will demand to be taken to the Father, that the Father may offer him tea. And of a truth, when he is taken to the Father, the Father will give him tea. The action of the Father is a mark of humility. Somebody may stand here and fight and yet you do not find Me saying a word. This shows humility. I have surrendered any action to the Father. But a foolish person will taunt that he stands before the Father to do whatever he likes and no person can do anything to him.

TO THE WORLD, THE LEADER’S APPREARANCE IS INCOGNITO
Our Lord Jesus Christ had said, “I can of mine own self do nothing; as I hear, I judge: and My judgement is just, for I know that His commandment is eternal life”. All that I do here are commensurate with the commandments found in this Kingdom of God. Have you ever found a person as great as this and yet He is neither known in the government, or in the church denominations, or in various homes. No person recognises His existence nor gives any regard to Him. A state governor would pay visit to this state and would call to see a paramount ruler or a chief. If any person visits this state, he will call at a necromancer, mermaid priest and others. Have you ever heard any person suggesting that a courtesy call should be paid to the Leader? Who is He? Who knows Him? Do you see us bother? There is no problem at all. When there is any occasion that requires the governor to attend any church services, he will attend the so-called established and orthodox churches. But for Brotherhood, they will say it is no church. Do you see us argue? I am not interested at all because such things are not important.

BROTHERHOOD IS THE CITY OF GOD
Candidly, throughout the entire world, this is the only place where God is found, where the word of God dwells. It is a very significant place and yet the world acknowledges it not. I am not worried about it. But in all monetary affairs, donations and contributions, Brotherhood will be remembered. In any other sphere of life, it will be argued that Brotherhood is no church, it may not even be mentioned. Do you notice us argue? If it were you, you would have argued. It was the instruction I received from the hands of the Father. I do not count these things as of any significance but I am simply using them as examples unto you. You should also learn of all that Brotherhood has done because they are the instructions of the Father. Even the type of works which is done generally and for the individuals in this Kingdom, who honours and reverences God? Have we ever worried about this? We have not, because these are so meant to be.

BCS CANNOT BE RECOGNISED CARNALLY
This instruction is for Me; it is for you and for the entire world. A great number of people feel that the Leader does not see, hear, or has conscience or could do anything whatever. This is erroneous. What happens is that we are following the instructions of the Father. There are certain places where the Father had been invited to their occasion but the people do not even take cognizance of the representatives of the Father. These representatives are not given any attention nor offered seats. Yet they will keep on drumming, dancing, drinking and doing many other things. During donations, the Father will be called. After the presentation of the donation, they will begin to shiver and ask whether the representatives will drink or eat? That will mark their departure. In many other places, when such representatives attend even in the church denominations of reverend gentlemen, they would not even take cognizance of them. But it does not matter. They were only concerned with what was said. “Give to him that asketh thee.” They give and go their way. The second lesson will now be read. Listen attentively to what is going to be read unto you.

2nd Lesson: St. Luke 14: 10.
“But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, friend, go up higher; then shall thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee”.

Who is the speaker? God Himself speaks. That is the pattern, which the children of God should lead. Many people should be present this night to listen to this gospel. When they go outside, they shout on Olumba Olumba Obu; that Brotherhood is God; that Brotherhood is above all; or seek for Brotherhood’s share. Such persons who go about fomenting trouble should be here to hear this gospel. Pastors, Apostles, Evangelists and indeed all of you who are pompous and arrogant should come in here and listen to this gospel.

ABHOR ARROGANCE
Immediately you are ordained a prophet, you will not allow any other person a chance. You will assume superintendency over everything. The moment you are ordained a Pastor, you will no longer want to hear what any other person says. Nobody, in your estimation is capable of advising you. You do not reckon on what others say. You are called Christ’s Student without even knowing the meaning of a Christ’s student. But you do not allow people to pass along the streets. You will claim superiority over every other person. The same thing applies to the Christ’s Servants, the elders and others. Every person struggles for everything around, but have you heard what the portion says?
You have merely been invited here. You do not know the content of this Kingdom of God. You should sit on the ground with absolute humility. Even if you are consecrated an Elder or whatever position is assigned to you, sit on the ground. When the person who invited you appears to find you on the ground, he will call you up to a higher seat.

THE HIGHEST POSITION IS THE ONE OCCUPIED BY THE HUMBLEST PERSON
Do you think that Pastor is the highest position in this Kingdom? Would you think that Apostle is the highest in this Kingdom? Would you think that Elder is the highest in this Kingdom? Or would you think that it is the Christ’s Student who is the highest? Or do you think that it is the virgin who is the highest? Which of these do you think is the highest position in this Kingdom of God? It is the position of a person who humbles himself to the point of prostrating on the ground. In whatever position God has placed you, do not count yourself as anything. You are made a Leader’s Representative to look over all these things, do not give yourself authority over anything in that dormain. Wait till the owner comes and He will lift you up. In anything at all, wherever you wish to go, or are sent on delegation, take the lowest seat where the people meet.

BROTHERHOOD COMES TO SERVE
It is the advice I had given that Brotherhood is not out to seek for positions either in government circles, or church denomination, or in cities, or from any person for that matter. Brotherhood has come to serve God. This instruction is for all the children of God throughout all the four- corners of the world. If you are the first daughter, or first son, or the father, or whatever you may be, if you take the lowest seat, counting yourself as nothing, you will hear people calling on you to get up. Every person will want to lift you high. Even when somebody robs you of your right, and they struggle over it, they would start quarreling amongst themselves, and complain that the owner has not even said a thing about it, why do they scramble and fight? They will recognize you as the owner.

DO NOT SEEK YOUR OWN GLORY
Brethren, do you possess this wisdom? Do not struggle for anything with any person here on earth. Do not allow anything to worry you about any carnal thing, because it is God who exalts you and God also abases you. You are a child of God, and that is accepted. God is your Father, this is also true, but you have to humble yourself. Wherever you go to, do not put up yourself as the good and beloved child of God. Humble yourself to the lowest point. Do you remember when our Lord Jesus Christ asked Peter, saying, “Of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? Of their own children, or of strangers? Peter saith unto Him, of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, “Then are the children free”. Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them”. He further told Peter, “Go thou to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth; thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for Me and thee”. Do not forget that He is God, He is the Son of God, and He is the Son of man. But because they did not know Him, even if they knew Him, observe how humble He was.
He neither encouraged nor fomented any trouble. He did not seek for His own glory as you are doing. It is said “He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true”. Do you remember what happened when our Lord Jesus Christ walked around the sepulcher and met with the man who used to come out of the sepulcher, who was possessed by the evil spirit. When he told our Lord Jesus Christ, I know that you are the Son of the Living God, torment me not for my time is not yet up. So the devils besought Him, saying, “If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine”. Our Lord Jesus Christ obeyed and did likewise. Can you notice humility? He was not opposing to it, nor did He torment or kill them. The devil possessed man opted to be driven into the swine. The herd of swine ran violently into the sea, and perished in the water. When they that kept the swine saw these things, they fled into the city and reported everything. The entire city came out and met our Lord Jesus Christ and besought Him that He should depart out of their coasts. He quietly went His way. He did not stop for a moment to ask what He did or to show that He was the Son of God and able to cause fire to consume them. Gently He left them without making any statement.

I AM NOT THE DOER
Can you not recognize the fact that He is the only truthful Teacher? God has noted all the things He has done and has found Him worthy to be a Leader. It was not only on the day He was crucified, but right from the time He came into the world, His life-pattern had been the same. Every work done in the world today is done by our Lord Jesus Christ, but have you ever found Him standing up to declare that He is doing the work and that the work is not done by Leader O.O. Obu but Himself. Right now many people are jealous that the glory which should have been given to the Christ is rather given to an ordinary human being and they ask who Olumba Olumba Obu is. They are very exasperated. The irony of it all is that the Lord Jesus Christ who is doing everything does not even worry about it. All the church denominations congregate and in their prayers report to the Lord Jesus Christ, that Satan is going to snatch all his followers, and that he should kill Olumba Olumba Obu. But our Lord Jesus Christ does not say anything. He is doing His work orderly. There is nothing the church denominations have not done to Me. You are aware of what they say whenever they come in here, and they say He is neither Jesus nor His brother, nor know where He comes from. “A man who suffers from Hernia does not complain of pains but the neighbour complains of sleeplessness because of his pain.” I have told you that I am not the person doing the work but when you go out, you tell people that Olumba Olumba Obu is one thing or the other, but I continue to tell you that I am not the doer.
You have heard what is read to you, that when you are invited to a dinner, you should sit down in the lowest room. When the chief host comes, he will tell you to go higher, then will you have glory in the presence of all the guests who sit at meal with you.

DO NOT SEEK AFTER MAN’S GLORY
Do you not remember when our Lord Jesus Christ made bread for the people and they ate to their satisfaction? They at once said this is of a truth the prophet that should rule over them in the world and so conspired to make Him king by force. When our Lord Jesus Christ perceived that they would come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed from them and hid Himself. Why did He run away? Have you found an errand boy delivering his messages in parables? He did not seek after any glory from man but after the glory of God because the glories of the world are transitory and perishable. No man can ever glorify you. I am telling you this that you may know yourself so that whenever somebody will come to lift you up and you accept it and start to puff up, you have failed.

FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT REVEAL CHRIST
Do you remember when our Lord Jesus Christ asked His disciples, “Whom say the people that I am”? They said John the Baptist, but some say Elijah and others say one of the old prophets. He turned and asked them, but whom do you say that I am? Peter answered and said thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Then our Lord Jesus Christ said: “Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jona; for flesh and blood had not revealed it unto you but My Father which is in Heaven”. But at the end He charged them that they should tell no man that He was the Christ until the consummation. Why did He behave that way? If He had started telling people that He was the Christ, God would have abased Him.

THE CHRIST WAS EQUAL WITH GOD
When the people wanted to make Him a king, if He had accepted and allowed Himself to be enthroned, I tell you of a truth, God would have reduced Him into oblivion. Since He was God, He could not assume such a position because He knew that such carnal things are transitory and perishable. He was God, and He was the Son of God and equal with God, but did not think it robbery to be equal with God. But made Himself of no reputation and took upon Himself the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of man. That was why when a man battered Him on the face and asked who battered Him, but He did not budge at all. Even at your places of work the head of department says you will not be promoted, you should go to Olumba to give you promotion. If you are a tenant, the house owner will give you notice to pack from his house and go to Olumba Olumba Obu to give you a house because you accept that man is God. What can he do to Me? I know him; He cannot do any harm to me. Go and tell Him to give you a house. And in the midst of his rage, he would boast that he had disgraced a BCS man and he spoke unseemly against the Brotherhood Leader, because he cannot do him any harm. All such things are foolishness and nonsensical.
It is said blessed are you when men shall revile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad for great is your reward in heaven. Do not allow anything to induce you to exalt yourself. Even if you are made the chairman of the occasion humble yourself, because you are not the chairman. Even while you are sitting on the ground, the owner comes to lift you so high, continue to humble yourself to the point of prostrating. Do not make any noise.

NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT
Remember, what He said to Pharaoh. He said for this reason did I lift you up, in order to show My power so that My name would be sung throughout the world. He exalts you high and He abases you to oblivion. If man were wise and intelligent whenever God or man lifts him up, he should maintain absolute humility. This is so because no condition is permanent. You have seen things for yourselves but you have no wisdom. But now, I have shown you the truth, which is in this Kingdom. Our downfall arises from the fact that when God lifts us high; we begin to puff up. But watch lest haply you fall into temptation. Upon all the shouts of the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when did He express such joy through orchestra? He sees all the evils we commit and all the good things we do, He is the doer of the work, but have you heard His voice? Some people argue that Christ is dead and He makes no statement. Some maintain that He is in the sky, others argue that He no longer exists, others says He has no power, but have you heard His voice, though He has heard all and has known all, He does not bandy words with any person.

ARGUMENT AGAINST THE DEITY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
This explains why people do believe that our Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God. They ask why God so condescend to the extent of entering into the womb of a woman, and how a woman could deliver God, and that such child cannot be God. So they refuse to believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. They also argue that if He were God, there was a guest -house where men of all station of life including lawyers, doctors, professors lodged but why should He condescend Himself to be born in the manger. This is, as it was, indicative of the absolute humility of our Lord Jesus Christ. When it was known at that time that our Lord Jesus Christ would be born. Herod, the king and the princes arranged and prepared their houses because they thought that the Christ would be born in their houses, but to their utmost dismay He was born to a mere carpenter who had nothing to eat, and to Mary, a simple virgin. These are some of the things, which made it conclusive that the ways of God always delude the wisdom of man. If we accept the advice of this day, and the way and manner in which it is revealed, indeed, you will be saved.

THE CHRIST DID NOT COME TO DESTROY – BUT TO SAVE
When our Lord Jesus Christ wanted to go to Jerusalem, He passed through a small Samaritan village. There, the people did not receive Him because He set His face as though He would go to Jerusalem. The disciples asked Him whether He would desire that they command the fire to come down from heaven to consume them even as Elijah did? But He rebuked them and said you do not know what manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save and preserve them.
Brethren, Brotherhood has not come to puff up, or to be arrogant or to blow its trumpet, but to humble itself to the point of prostrating. And so brethren, I do not wish to take you further than this, the golden text will now be read.

Golden Text: Philippians 2: 8-9
“And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name”.

Brethren, have you heard that which is read unto you? It is said before honour is humility. It was not for any other thing that His name was lifted up but for the reason of His humility. If our Lord Jesus Christ comes in as we are sitting down here, have you seen Him? He has always been working on earth but who has seen Him? Some people build storeys that when He comes He might live therein. Some others surrender a whole bank for Him for the reason of following Him, but have they seen Him? Yet He is here on earth.

IMPERSONATION OF THE CHRIST
There are about three persons in the United States of America who deceived others into believing that they are the ‘Christ’. The Americans have spent their money rejoicing, and making other preparation because they erroneously believe that, Christ in His next advent would be born in America. Inspite of their heavy investments for this purpose, the people who impersonated the Christ died as fowls. Among the Chinese, several persons have claimed to be the Christ. In other places also others have staked similar claims. If somebody comes to lay a claim before you that he is the Christ, he is not, because our Lord Jesus Christ can never confess that He is the Christ. That would be tantamount to vain glory.

YOU ARE WHAT GOD MAKES YOU
When you humble yourself to the point of prostrating, God will exalt you high up. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Have you not realised His grace through humility? Have you ever found a man whose name has been exalted above all other names by God? Never you again seek after glory and vain honour for yourself. If somebody asks you, who you are, tell him that you do not know who you are. Whatever the Father desired that you should be, that is what you are, but you cannot be whatever you claim to be. Never you suggest anything to yourself. Never you claim anything as your own. Allow God always to fulfill His will in you. Whatever people may arrogate to you, have no regard for, because God knows that it is a test. Whatever the Father wants you to become, you will see it, you will not decide for yourself, but the Father will do His will.

WHO ARE YOU TO DICTATE TO GOD
We should thank God always for the glory He has revealed to us at this end of time. It is said He humbles Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him a name, which is above every name. Somebody is indebted to you, and you decide to teach him a lesson. Somebody curses you and you swear you will speak to him in the language he understands. Somebody makes an allegation against you, and you argue you will show him what you are. Have you heard what has been read to you? When you demand that the Father should speak so that something happens and to speak again so that nothing happens, have you heard that it implies vainglory? Allow whatever the Father wills, to come to manifestation. It is so because He owns us and wherever He keeps you should be all right with you. If we want Him to exalt our names then we should humble ourselves to the point of prostrating.

ONLY GOD DOES EVERYTHING
I sympathise with those who claim that they are the Christ, or God, or Jacob, or prophet or pastor. I am nothing at all. I do not even exist. Have I ever told you that I have power or that I can do anything? Even here in Brotherhood some persons claim they have power and they can heal the sick, and that they can do many other things. Have you ever seen a man like doctor, engineer or professor who does not arrogate certain powers to himself? In My own case I always tell you that I have no power, these words are not spoken by Me, I do not even exist, and I want nothing. It is bamboozling to hear that some people announce that all sick people should be taken to them for healing, because there is power in a particular Bethel. But I want to put it before you that I have no power, since I do not do anything; it is the Father who does everything. From where does that action or that pattern of life derive? Can you not realise from where it emanates?

WHOEVER SHALL BE GREAT MUST BE A SERVANT
The gospel of today has revealed to you what each of us should do, and this explains why we should all come into this Kingdom of God. It is said that if you want to walk with Me you have to humble yourself as a small child. It is also said whosoever wants to be a leader should enslave himself to others. Even as the Son of man did not come to be ministered unto but to minister and to give His life a ransom for many. He says whoever will be great among you should be your minister. Which, therefore do you think is the highest position in this Kingdom? It is that whosoever wants to be great he should be a servant, also whosoever is the greatest must be a servant. That is exactly what you find in Brotherhood. If you want to be the greatest and you start to minister unto others, but when you are appointed to that position, you start to puff up, you would be down graded and your corpse will not even be seen. This explains why some people here, when they are not yet ordained prophets, they accept all types of jobs menial and otherwise, but when they are ordained, they will feel so elated and will return to their houses to rest, and will not even attend prayers. Such persons do not know themselves. I cannot explain why spectacular things happen on Sunday nights and I want this gospel produced very urgently.
When you are called Obu’s son, you will not allow people to pass along the street. Most especially if I invite you, you will become so elated, proud and pompous, and you will tell people not to come near you and whether they do not know that you are Obu’s son? And others will begin to raise their eye- brows and question why the Leader should give preferential treatment to you. You will be a subject of jealousy by others who nurse grievances against you. That is why none of you here accepts to submit himself to others. If you want to pass through a certain place and somebody touches you in an attempt to tell you not to pass, you will push him back and ask him if he does not know that you are in the house of your Father. Brethren, such pattern of life is very pitiable. Even in other church denominations or bethels in which you are a member, you have to humble yourself as you are taught, do not count yourself as anything throughout your life. It is humility, which is the most important virtue in this Kingdom. When somebody curses and disgraces you, spits at you, or you are not considered when anything is shared, you are not given a place to sleep and your name is not even mentioned, do not budge at all, even if you are called names you have to endure and tolerate.

DO NOT SEEK TO DEFEND
Do not report to any person, or to react at all, do not take any other action, do not defend yourself, do not be exasperated because the Father knows, and it is for the reason of this humility that you will be exalted. Why you are confused and easily irritated, always exasperated, could not obey simple orders, and that you cannot forgive, is that not seeking self -glory? Whoever seeks the glory of God has no problem at all. Even if you go to a certain place where people call you thief, apparition and expel you, do not make a statement of defence that you are not a thief, but you have to walk quietly away.
Some people continue to inquire to know what is in Brotherhood? What is in Brotherhood is humility. The world says that the Leader is dead, that He is a cannibal, a murderer, a dracular; behold I am standing here, have I made any statement of defence? Have I refuted in the newspaper or through the Radio or Television or in any magazine? If I do that, it implies that I have exalted Myself.

So brethren, I do not wish to be tedious unto you. One stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. Those who have ears let them hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

Thank you Good Father

“BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER”

TEXT: GALATIANS 4

SIN IS HEREDITARY FROM OUR FOREFATHERS.
Brethren, the theme of our lectures is derived from Galatians 4: 28-31.
The problems, tensions and confusions besetting the entire world emanate from the failure of mankind to comply with the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says that a woman should marry only one husband and vice versa, but a majority of people in the entire world have objected to this divine injunction. It is also said that neither a man nor a woman should commit fornication and adultery, but you do not appear to heed these instructions.
The Bible has also advised us not to kill, tell lies, indulge in the preparations of juju, concoctions etc, but to be humble, patient and peaceful, but nobody wants to comply with these instructions.

Can you realize the gravity of the punishment, which has been meted out to mankind as repercussion for not keeping these instructions of God? All problems, difficulties, wars, famine, economic recession, unemployment which beset the entire world are because of being disobedient and resistant to the divine will and the injunctions of God. God has informed us that Isaac was the son of Abraham and Sarah, and also the son of promise. But Ishmael the son of Hagar, the Egyptian, was not the son of promise. Who is the freeborn and who is the son of bondage? Abraham had two prominent children. He had Ishmael and Isaac, and the latter had to submit more to the instructions of God because he was a child of promise.
As a matter of fact, Isaac was not born of the flesh and blood, but of the spirit, and so, was more submissive to the parents than the other son. You are now privileged to know the difference between the child born of the flesh and blood and one born of spirit. A child born of flesh and blood is the one born through the sexual intimacy of the father and mother during which union the parental tendencies pass through the blood to form the child. The spirit of fornication and adultery, anger, segregation and even sicknesses such as gonorrhea, fits, syphilis etc, also pass from either sex into the child, and that is why it is said that “Blood is thicker than water”.
It is through this medium which the Bible says that the iniquities of the parents are visited on the children. It is this blood of theft, fornication, murder, anger, falsehood and other vices which consist of what is known as the flesh and blood which indeed are causing confusion and tension all over the world. When the scripture said that you were sharpened in iniquities and born in sins, these constitute the sinfulness of the parents of the child who are infested or contaminated with theft, fornication, murder, false, anger, treachery, envy, impatience, deceit through whose blood the child is born into the world.

Some of you used to ignorantly say that the children of nowadays are so bad, and I am asking you to tell Me what is responsible for that? It is the parents who are responsible because the sins of the parents are visited on the children. But a child born of the spirit is the promise child born without the sexual union between the husband and wife. This can be made possible through the efficacy of the words of promise by God Himself.
Brethren, there was a certain German national who was hospitalized sometime ago because he was anemic. Consequently, the doctor in charge prescribed that some blood was needed so as to administer blood transfusion for him. When he was informed about this, he emphatically declared that unless the blood is extracted from his fellow German national, the blood transfusion should not be administered. That is the trouble that has engulfed the whole world, racial discrimination. We have various textures of blood because as our faces are different so also are the blood groups on our bodies. Flesh is the carnal body constitution, and you are advised not to get involved in vices such as anger, murder, backbiting, fornication and adultery and the rest of the vices because these tendencies pass through the process of blood into others or even into the children yet unborn. The blood through which a child is born into the world is the true replica of you, and your child will have the tendencies of behaving like you and committing the same vices, which you had been indulging in.
Therefore, when you are told not to commit sins, this instruction is given for your own benefit, and not for the benefit of God Himself, because the sins you commit shall bring more abominations to you, and would further aggravate the tensions and the problems in the world.

THE CHILD DOES WHAT THE PARENTS ARE DOING
You should never forget that whatever you are, that is what your child shall also be. Why do you have to blame your child when he is displaying your tendencies obtained through blood? That is why it is often said that blood is thicker than water because if you are a thief, murderer, malicious person, a fornicator etc, your child certainly will inherit all these characteristics from you through blood and the blood can’t be extracted at all. That is the first mistake you have committed. Once you have the sexual union with your wife or husband and you bring forth a child, and you are aware that you are an ill-mannered person or malicious person, do you think that your child will be different from you? Any attempt to exonerate yourself from or dodge the sins your child indulges in is illusive. These are your true tendencies he inherited through blood during birth, and these tendencies are exhibited irrespective of age.

THE ONE SIN THAT CAUSE STANDSTILL IN THE WORLD
If you want your children to be well meaning citizens of your country, you have to cultivate the habits of refraining from all manners of sins, and this is for your own benefit and good reputation. Right now, there is one particular sin, which is waging war throughout the whole world, and it is fighting all the world inhabitants to a standstill, and that particular sin is fornication. Everybody knows that it is bad, yet everybody is enjoying it. It is a truism that your forefathers married as many as five, ten, or twenty wives and despite these numerous wives, they were still not satisfied, they still had to flirt with other women, the numerous children they possessed notwithstanding.

In view of the foregoing, this adulterous blood is transferred into their children during birth. Most of the diseases afflicting humanity today such as syphilis, gonorrhea, leprosy, fits, hypertension etc, are transmitted from one person to another during sexual union, between man and woman. Most of the vices such as murder, malice, anger, hatred, drunkenness are also transmitted to others through blood during fornication and adultery.
That is why when a white man impregnates a black woman or a woman who is not from his race, he will not own that child even though he will do everything humanly possible to support that woman and her child to take care of themselves. If a white man marries a black woman and they bear a child, what do you call that child? Is he a white or black person? That child is mulatto. He is neither a white man nor a black person, and eventually an outcast. His behavior will be abnormal in all respect. Sometime he would have the tendency to behave as a white person and in another period he would equally behave as a black man. Why is it so? If a white man marries a white woman, what will be the complexion of that child? Similarly if a black man marries a black woman, what will be the texture of the body of the child born?
If a black man stays in a white man’s country, for a number of years, even as long as thirty years, he will still behave as a black man displaying all the tendencies of a black man, his social interactions amongst the whites notwithstanding. He will still shamelessly display those crude tendencies of uncivilization. It is a surprising thing to notice that the blacks in European countries and in the United States are still behaving in the same way as the blacks in Africa. Involving in bad behaviour although they learn or work as doctors or professors and are professionals in different fields of human endeavours, but yet their many years of stay in these places have never made them change their moral values and concepts because blood is thicker than water.

If you are crafty or indulge in the preparation of juju, concoctions, fornication or murder, you are not just learning how to do it, you inherited it right from the blood because your fathers and forefathers actively indulged in these vices and the tendencies cannot be eradicated just immediately. These are the things which most of the black people do not know, but the whites understand a little bit of this recondite wisdom, but not fully. In the sense that they (the whites) are still indulging in vices such as drinking of alcoholic liquors, snuffing and smoking affecting or destroying their constitution.
If it could be possible for all and sundry to come to the wisdom of this truth, and they refrain from all manners of vices and we hold ourselves together with the surest hope that in the nearest future all will be well. That is why Paul had made a statement, which is recorded in 1 Corinthian 7: 37-40:
“Nevertheless he that standeth steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin doeth well. So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well, but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better. The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth, but if her husband is dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom, she will only in the Lord. But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgement; and I think also that I have the spirit of God”.

Why did Paul make this statement? It is because if you marry a child of God, it stands to reason that the blood that will be transferred to your children will be pure with fear, love, peace and other attributes of degree of the qualities of God in the character and the behaviour of the person. Why it is difficult for a man born of the flesh and blood to practice the words of God is that he has been a spoiled and contaminated man right from his nature. What Our Lord Jesus Christ employed in comforting humanity is that we are saved by sheer grace and mercy of God. Well, that should be accepted just like that. Therefore, there is no other way than to accept this concept and to tolerate and practice the love of one another. There lies our salvation. What type of preaching are you going to deliver to people who have been so spoiled or contaminated in sins through parental blood, that means that the old man is still dwelling in you.

1 Corinthians 5: 1-5
“It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as if not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife. And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed. In the name of our Lord Jesus when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ. To deliver such a one unto Satan for destruction of the flesh, the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus Christ.

GOD CREATED MAN AND WOMAN FOR HIMSELF ONLY
God did not create a woman for any man neither any man for any woman; He did not decreed that a man or woman should be sexually intimated to bring forth any child. Rather His divine intention was that the spirit of God should overshadow a woman to bring forth a child, so that whatever is born of that woman will be spiritual and holy and if that very purpose of God had materialized there will be no problems in the world.
On the other hand, God has created a man to live a pious life, and if a man were to live such a pious and righteous life, his spirit will eventually not be polluted, to this end and the children the man would bear will be pure and sanctified children. And that is why when you have an intimacy with a woman and what comes out as a result of that union is a replica of you, and those tendencies will show themselves in that child who is born.

ILLUSTRATION
There was a certain man in this town who was to be ordained a Reverend. Another black already ordained reverend opposed the idea and advised the white reverend gentleman who wanted to ordain him not to do so because his father was a renowned necromancer. He was certain of his opinion that this man, the proposed reverend, would end up as a necromancer. The white man said that such idea was superfluous and beset with a superstitious belief. The man also said that his suggestion was a primitive concept because he never realized the blood tendency problems.
The black reverend insisted that the white man would certainly regret the spiritual short-sightedness of his action because his words will come to a fulfillment. He refused to be associated with the ordination, and so he did not attend the celebration the day this man was ordained. As a matter of fact this reverend gentleman in the course of time was caught red-handed in the preparation of concoctions and charms in a hideout within the vicinity of the town and his photograph was taken without his knowledge. Secondly, the ordained reverend had a place in the ceiling of his church where he placed some fetish and other objects he believed could influence his adherents and compelled their obedience and submission. He used to go secretly to various popular necromancers for the preparation of concoctions with goats, fowls etc, and unfortunately for him in one of his several attempts, he was caught by his members who also took his photographs as a witness to show to his adherents. Whenever this unfortunate reverend gentleman mounts the altar, he would preach about charms, apparitions and witchcraft and all sorts of hideous things to frighten his members. Similarly, he would tell his members that heaven helps those who help themselves, an assertion, which lacks a biblical support. In view of the above, you will acknowledge that the reverend was misdirecting his members. He got involved in initiation into various occult and mystical societies, and finally died a pagan deeply entrenched in heathenish.

You would realize that this very reverend gentleman was invited one day by a member and some leaves were applied in his eyes, and he later discovered that all his members and adherents were wizards and witches. He then stopped it, and was able to know better.
Brethren, this story has then exposed to all of you that the cause of all the troubles and difficulties in the world emanate from the misdirection and the distortion of the Christian doctrines by the worldly orthodox churches. And all forms of religions and the blood we inherit from our parents. If it were possible for a man or woman to stay for a while without having the carnal knowledge of the opposite sex, all would have gained some level of perfection and righteousness. It is very wrong for somebody to say that another person has spoiled my child, this act is self-inflicting. The day you will be privileged to realize that blood is a very precious thing, you will refrain from indulging in vices such as having intimacy and all problems and difficulties will be a thing of the past.

The simplest thing to do therefore so that the spirit of vices in you might die out completely is to stop any further sexual intimacy with any man or woman for at least three to six months. You will be free in mind and you will be in perfect peace. You can undertake a studied experiment on this truth to prove what I am telling you if you chose to do so. Why I say that you will be different is that your forefathers were chronic sinners, indulging in drinking, snuffing, smoking, murder, idolatry, fornication and adultery. All these tendencies are in you. When a person does not have any carnal knowledge of the opposite sex, the person will not experience problems in life, no fear and no lack of self-confidence, but once the person indulges in sexual intimacy, he/she will start to have problems.
That is why many of you are so fearful now. Whereas, you had no such terrible experience before. You were never sickly before, but now you have lost the confidence you used to have in life, you have now resorted to use of charms, talismans, concoctions to protect you, but still lots and lots of evils continue to befall you. You become more prone to all these evil tendencies which have all surfaced once again. If you had the right senses, could you not understand that if you are in sexual union with any person who has all these evil tendencies and diseases such as gonorrhea, syphilis, leprosy, palsy, fits, etc, all will pass through the blood into your body.

WHY HUMANITY HAS NEVER BEEN CHANGED
You will now realize that all evil tendencies with the resultant sufferings in the world arise out of the sexual intimacy between a man and a woman. Similarly, all the bad children we bring forth into the world who fight, cause confusion, and commit suicide, emanate from that very reason. It is too late and it will be an exercise in futility for you to pray that God should take this or that. If you use a white earth to mould something, how can you change it to black earth or vice versa? You could then see that these situations had become immutable. To this end, a man of God continues to be a man of God, and a man of the world continues to be a man of the world, and this situation is permanent and immutable.
“He that committeth sin is of the devil, for the devil sinneth from the beginning, for this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil”.
Brethren, have you heard that? That is why you have heard that people will come out from the waters, another plane of creation and when you see them with their beauty or handsome you will be attracted to go and be intimated with them. In the course of doing so, you will infuse and contract to yourself certain incurable diseases and spirits of vices which will be very harmful to you. And that is why St. Paul warned against these vices when he recorded in 1 Corinthians 7: 5. Paul had foreseen these things even though he wrote these things when he was fairly advanced in age. It is quite clear to us that if you have a man who is a celebrated or chronic fornicator who comes into this room, and he finds no woman to fornicate with, he will therefore not do thing with the pillars; eventually he would stay without. But if a woman comes in, he would be aroused to plead with the woman to stay with him because he has now got an opportunity. So it is with you, if you had stayed for quite a while without having any sexual union with any woman, but immediately you do it again, all the tendencies will return back to you in a greater force than before. If unfortunately you go astray to commit that kind of sin, you should fast and pray so that the actual spirit of God which had departed from you might return to you. You should then come to the realization that all the evil things you had committed come from blood, and that is why you find it difficult to understand and to practice the words of God because blood is thicker than water.

A MAN BORN OF SPIRIT HEARS AND UNDERSTANDS THE WORDS OF GOD

St. John 8: 47
“He that is of God heareth God’s words, ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God”.

If a man is not born of spirit, he cannot hear the words of God. For example, if Isaac had been an ordinary person born of the flesh and blood, he would have resisted his father who wanted to cut off his head as s sacrificial lamb for God. You cannot try it with your six-year old child now, and you will notice his reaction if he would not even reverse the action to sacrifice you instead. All your children are hanging about your neck and if they ask you questions, you will hardly be able to answer.
I am aware that many of you run from your houses because your children so much pester your life, but of -course, that is your blood. There is one Doctor Ikeme whose second son wanted to kill him, and in fact the situation was so tense that he had to obtain police protection and escort. Although the child died a very miserable death some few years ago, that was a very unusual and odd situation. There are many people who now own such recalcitrant children all over the world. They get their parents beaten and driven out of their houses, and that is the result of fornication and adultery which you are being advised to refrain from.
It is often said that children of prominent men are never successful in life, and I am asking you to tell Me, which prominent person who has never been a flirt or prostitute? Is there any chief, paramount ruler, a governor or president etc, who has never been a liar, fornicator, swindler, smoker or drunkard or who does not indulge in the preparation of charms, concoctions, and murder? And if they were so deeply involved in evil tendencies, how could they have good children? When a person is not good, how can he produce good children? When you argue that children of policemen and lawyers are never good or successful in life, can you tell me that these professions are good ones? Incidentally, they are cunning, and liars. Their wives are also bad, because the blood from their husbands have contaminated them and eventually, no amount of preaching can change them from their evil tendencies.

It is something shameful to see that all the African Heads of Governments are swindlers, and they also openly receive bribes. They are drunkards, smokers, snuffers, and liars. They are adulterers and fornicators who flirt about with wives and daughters of their citizens in the public. They also get involved in sharp practices in contract work, whereas if white men are given these positions, they will respect themselves and control their offices judiciously. They will control themselves from the enticing proceeds, powers and the paraphernalia of their offices.
Right now in this country, the whites are still better respected and more trusted than the Nigerians themselves because of their sharp business practices. The Nigerians also betray their fellow Nigerians in business deals. They keep on messing around so they have no self-respect for themselves quite unlike their white counterparts. Have you ever seen or heard when a white man takes another white man to court in Nigeria? But yours, both here and in the white man’s country, you freely take court action against your fellow black man with abject abandon. This is caused by evil tendencies in the blood inherited from your fore-parents.
IT IS ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT CAN CHANGE A PERSON
If the Holy Spirit is not with you, it is not easy for you to refrain from fornication and adultery, smoking, drinking, anger, hatred, murder, snuffing and the rest of them because these are inherited from parents. It is expedient for a person to be a man of God and die poor as a man of God, so that your children shall be blessed, and the blood tendencies in them shall be pure and sanctified. You should make an effort and God will help you out of the doldrums of sinfulness.

1 Timothy 4: 8
“For bodily exercise profiteth little, but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life, that now is, of that which is to come”.

What I am imparting to you is the recondite wisdom, which even the whites do not understand.

AN ILLUSTRATION
In a certain city, there lived a money magnet that had chains of storey buildings; estates and all sort of landed property. He was very rich by all sense of the word. He went and saw a particular lady who was a paragon of beauty, and needed her hand in marriage. She came from a royal family, when the rich business tycoon asked her for marriage, all the elders in the community advised him not marry from that family. That it was unfortunate that anybody who married from that family had to become poor and wretched and would finally meet with a disaster.
He being a self-centered person and quite perceptive of his enormous wealth thought that to be a joke, because he thought that with his tremendous bank accounts, nothing on this earth can ever render him poor. He said that if he did not marry the girl, he would commit suicide, and took no interest at all in all the pieces of advice the elders gave to him. He asked himself, shall it be that the lady shall eat too much; the elders are talking nonsense, he asserted. He said that even if the lady will be spending as much as five thousand Naira a day, his billions of Naira loaded in the banks shall never be exhausted as to make him bankrupt.
The members of this particular family neither steal or kill, but they are poor and wretched, and of course, that never bothered this young money magnet and popular business tycoon. Finally, he went and contracted all the marriage arrangements with the parents and relations of the lady and paid all the money demanded from him and took the lady home. Within a while, his storey buildings started to catch fire here and there, and less than three months after his marriage with this lady, all his known properties were in great ruins. The trouble was not that of his wife because naturally, she was sober, serviceable and well mannered. She personally was not a spend thrift and she did not eat much and so spent less on food. The history of the man’s losses and ruins emanated from his pride; his wife was not instrumental to any of these unfortunate events. That is what the blood tendencies and parental heredity can do.

TEST ALL SPIRITS BEFORE MARRIAGE
That is why I am telling you that there is blood of poverty and wretchedness, there is also the blood of riches and money. When the blood of money enters any place, anything you touch will bring you money, and people will not realize from what sources the money comes to you. There is the blood of peace and tranquillity and wherever such people are found; there will be perfect calmness. The ways of the blacks are so far away from the stack realities of life’s norms and values. The case of the whites are quite distinctive since they are not all that so mindful of the physical beauty, but mostly they concern themselves with the spiritual aspect of what a person is. A person must be thoroughly discerned or investigated in order to know how useful she will be in the house, her facial appearance or ugliness notwithstanding. The blacks do not believe in these spiritual investigations of person before marriages. The commonest belief is that once a person has money, it’s all right, you can get any woman to yourself. You can go to the hotels, schools, and even on the roadside and collect as many women as you possibly want, but forgetting that it is that blood which will cause confusion everywhere. If your parents are evil people, they are malicious and idolatrous; it may not be possible for you to serve God because of the blood tendencies in you. Your mother or father will also hinder you from serving God, and even if you make a good attempt to serve God, the ability shall be inhibited because of the blood you inherited from them. That is what is called the flesh and blood, it is not you doing all these things, it is that sinful blood in you which had caused you to behave in the way you are behaving. That is exactly what Paul had said as recorded in Romans 7: 15-21.
“You have to refrain from all manners of sinfulness now and live a life of contentment, and consequently your future will show every element of righteousness”.
That is the blood in you, you are desirous of doing good, but the blood in you will prevent you from doing it. The problem is that the blood is fighting against the spirit and vice versa. For instance, when the gospel is being preached to you here, you become very sorry for your life and your evil doings, but as soon as you go out from here, the flesh will take dominion over you, and you degenerate back to your situation you had formerly found yourself.

CHILDREN OF FLESH AND BLOOD ARE IN OPPOSITION WITH THE CHILDREN OF THE SPIRIT
Our Lord Jesus Christ over-come the world, because He was not born out of the sexual union of Mary and Joseph. But was conceived of the power of the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit overwhelmed the blood, and that which was born had the complete attributes of God which are the truth, goodness, love, faith, peace, humility, patience and temperance. His brothers and sisters that were born after Him. Could not believe in Him, because they were born of the flesh and blood in respect of the sexual or carnal union of Joseph and Mary, and so could neither practice the words of God as preached by Our Lord Jesus Christ nor believe in God His Father. That was the reason there were some conflicts between Our Lord Jesus Christ and His brothers and sisters.

St. John 7: 3-8:
“His brethren therefore said unto Him, depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. For there is no man that doeth anything in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, show thyself to the world. For neither did his brethren believe in him, Then Jesus said unto them. My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you, but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil”.

Why did His brothers and sisters not believe in Him? It was because they were carnally and that was the blood of Joseph and Mary. They waged war against Him because it was a matter of the flesh fighting against the spirit. One was of the spirit, while the others were of the flesh and blood these were incompatible. They had differences in life, and could not agree in anything, They did not understand Our Lord Jesus Christ and He also could not understand them in that Our Lord Jesus Christ was born of the spirit, they were born of the flesh and blood. This is why you all use to spend sleepless nights thinking of the carnal things more than the spiritual things. Preach what you may, you will always see any two people discussing carnal things, while the spiritual things are relegated to the background.

All carnal things are given priority attention, while the spiritual things are given little or no attention at all. If the Holy Father says that He has given promotions, houses, motor cars etc, all would shout ‘AMEN’ at the top of their voices because these are carnal things. Conversely if the Holy Father asks that all should refrain from all manners of sinfulness, you will not answer anything. These are indicative of the fact that you are carnal minded. But I will not fail to teach and lead you to the path of righteousness. In the same token, if the husband does not believe in God, but the wife is a great believer and does all acts of righteousness, the children born between such union are pious children because of the sanctity of the wife. Similarly, the same situation is applicable to the believing husband who has an unbelieving wife.
This is in keeping with the scriptures which says that I will visit the iniquities of the parents upon the children and upon the third and the fourth generations of them who hate me, and I will show mercy to all those who keep My commandments and love Me.
It is very easy for a believer to convert a person who has not known about God. Especially if a man of God goes to marry from the family who do not know something about God, and the moment you are intimated, the woman and whatever will come out as the result of that union, will be a pious and righteous child. You will realize that the field is wide, but the reapers are few, and we must have to take heart in order to achieve our goal. That is why whatever happens to you, could not be attributed to you, because you are desirous to practice the gospels, but the ability is not there.
Your father spoiled you. It is the blood of murder, theft, swindling, smoking, drinking, fornication and adultery which has been responsible for the state of affairs you find yourself in. It should not be construed that the spirit of God is not in you. That is the warfare which exists, the desire to do what is good, but that blood in you hinders the spirit of doing good, even as recorded in Galatians 5: 17

“For the flesh lusteth against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other, so that ye cannot do the things that ye would”.

Do you now not realize that if we try as much as possible to practice the words of God, this will give your children and your children’s children the impetus to practice the words of God much better than you, and eventually you will reach perfection. Have you seen sons and daughters of the rich, the well to do the kings and queens practicing the words of God? They cannot. Those who are pretending to practice the words of God are the juju-doctors, necromancers, fortune-tellers etc; they do it in their own way, the way that suits their fancies. That is why you often find that the sons of the pastors, reverend, or bishops are not doing well or are at variance with the things which pertain to God, because they are not the true children of the bishops or pastors. If they were the real children of the bishops, they would surely be successful in life. The children who are always successful in life are often the children of those who are always in the service of God in the true sense of it. Instead of your parents to die as millionaires or billionaires, kings and queens leaving large legacies for you, let them die as paupers and leave truth as a legacy for you. St. Luke 6: 20-23
“And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God. Blessed are ye that hunger now, for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now; for ye shall laugh. Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the son of man’s sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy, for, behold, your reward is great in heaven; for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets”.

REFRAIN FROM SINS IS THE ONLY PASSPORT TO THE KINGDOM
You have to refrain from all manners of sinfulness now and live a life of contentment, and consequently your future will show every element of righteousness. Elizabeth and John had only one child who is more than thousands of children. If John the Baptist were to be the blood child of Zacharias, he would not have been able to do the work of God. Since God works in a mysterious way, whosoever works in good faith for Him, He has to reciprocate that kind gesture to Him equally. Whatever way we have chosen to obtain complete abstinence from sin, whether we are poor, whether we are leprous, whether we have children or no children, whatever may be our situation in life, we should rest assured that our future is very bright. You should ponder over the situation of Job when he openly accepted to serve God. He was stricken with abject poverty, all his children died and he himself was sickly, yet he did not deny God. He neither murmured nor blasphemed against God, and at the end, he had more prominent children, he was richer and more prosperous spiritually and otherwise than before.
You will then come to this realization that it is much more beneficial to be in the service of God. Any person who wants to serve God, must put himself head-deep into His service, not to stand haphazardly with one leg inside and the other leg outside. Then will he testify with his tongue to show that God is good and generous, once you work for God whole-heartedly, all your life; He will reciprocate this kind gesture.

Let My peace and blessings be with the entire world, now and forever more. Amen.

THANK YOU FATHER

“CELIBACY” – ITS RELIGIOUS SUPPORT

1st Lesson Luke 20: 35
“But they which shall be counted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.”

2nd Lesson 1 Corinthians 7:29
“But this I say, Brethren, the time is short; it remaineth that both they that have wives be as though they have none.”

Golden Text Revelation 14: 4
“These are they which were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are they, which follow the lamb wither so ever he goes. These were redeemed from among men being the first-fruits unto God and the Lamb.”

My dear Brethren, here is a factual revelation of what has been, from time immemorial, to be confirmed as true through the passage of time. Though some people may be angry while others may argue or quarrel over this word. It is not meant to disturb you beyond considering whether you are one of those to follow Christ. For it is in your interest that you are today privileged to have this sort of revelation.

THEY MADE SACRIFICES FOR THE LOVE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD
The anxiety-ridden and frustrated world is making a last resort to following Christ. There is no other way to make mankind to be saved. Moreover, the position as a saint, apostle, or disciple of Christ holds out a charm for many an aspiring Christian. Many people are called out of the world to serve God in order to have a share in the Kingdom of God. Among them are those who have made themselves eunuchs for the love of the Kingdom of God.

HOLINESS A SURE WAY TO GOD
Whoever desires to be a child of God should be holy. A fornicator or adulterer is defiled, and cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. Celibacy has proved a very reliable precautionary measure against defiling oneself with women. Though it is obvious that not all people can accept this word, for those who want to follow Christ and forsake the whole world, the qualification is holiness. Such a situation is not at all embarrassing if only it is understood to be simply, the same as being faced with a choice between marriage and Christ: much as it is between the world and the Kingdom of God, or between life and death. You may then be going to church everyday, pass sleepless nights in long prayers, place your parcels of prayer request for a good and beautiful housewife at the sanctuary of God, marry or give in marriage, but without the full knowledge that choosing Christ is a different thing.

CHRIST THE SPOTLESS LAMB
Christ is the lamb without blemish, a spotless Bridegroom whose virgin attendants are undefiled. Nuptial arrangement, in which virgins usually follow the bridegroom in this world, though natural, is symbolic of the spiritual marriage feast of Christ to which those undefiled by men or women, are the only acceptable attendants: remember the five foolish virgins.
We do not want you to be like them. Where all are wishing to follow Christ, all are supposed virgins, but the number of those to meet and actually walk with Him are limited as illustrated by the unpreparedness of the five foolish virgins. Whether the story is of virgins without oil in their lamps, or of people without the wedding dress, or those who refuse to attend the wedding feast, one thing is meant to be illustrated; that any person who is defiled with women/men is unprepared and cannot walk with Christ.

THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH
The wages of sin is death, and whosoever defiles his body with women is liable to suffer death. Today’s world is filled with hatred, illness and sorrows caused by sin. Whoever is not pure is likened unto salt that has lost its savour – good for nothing, but to be thrown away and trampled under feet. Anyone in this condition is already dead.

FOLLOW THE EXAMPLES OF HIS DISCIPLES
The holy life of the undefiled with women is not only to be envisaged, but practised as done by saints both living and of blessed memory. When Saul became Paul, he counted for nothing everything including marriage. Wishing that his examples be followed, he wrote:
“But, what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things, but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.” (Phil 3: 7-8).
Peter and the other disciples left everything and followed Christ. They remained for Christ, pure and undefiled in marriage.

PROPHETESS ANNA, AN UNDEFILED WIDOW FOR 84 YEARS
Prophetess Anna married for seven years, then her husband died and she remained and died a widow, undefiled for eighty-four years. Why then should some women say that they could not do without lovers? God is love, health, joy and life. It is therefore foolish to condemn as harmful or inconvenient any condition that fashions our bodies for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, Christ and God.

TRUTH IS BITTER
Some prelates and laymen who have understood this gospel have successfully taken to celibacy for the same reason as Paul, Peter and Anna. Truth is bitter, but we are not to hide any truth, which has been highly acceptable to those who are anxious to gain the Kingdom of God. Christ is walking about here on earth, but you cannot see Him because you profane your bodies with (sex) men and women.
1st Lesson: St. Luke 20: 35
“But they which shall be counted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.”

LET EVERYBODY SEARCH HIM/HERSELF
My Dear Brethren let everybody, big or small search within themselves whether they have a share in eternal life. All those who are married look distressed at this word. This is not time for weeping or writing petition to the Author of the word. All those who are destined to live, and the resurrection from the dead are preserved by God. That is why those who are unfortunate in marriage should rejoice instead of lamenting over their ill luck. To them eternal life with Christ means more than compensation. It is a prize of triumphant life. It is the fulfilment of the highest Christian idea of living for Christ and for Christ alone.

FOLLOWING CHRIST HAS NO AGE LIMIT:
Following Christ does not respect age or sex. We are simply asked to remain undefiled by men or women. You may have heard some people argue that the Kingdom of God is not for women or youths, this may stem from the observation that women and youths are most carnally inclined than elderly people. But God is no respecter of persons. Mary was a young virgin, Paul a youthful man. In Acts 21: 8-9, it is recorded that Philip the Evangelist in Caesarea had four daughters, virgins, who did prophesy.
2nd Lesson 1 Corinthians 7: 29
“But this I say, Brethren, the time is short; it remaineth that both they that have wives be as though they have none.”

MAKE UP YOUR MIND NOW AND FOREVER MORE. AMEN
This is a way out for all those who are married already. A lot of what we regard as pleasurable are death. In order that our work as Christians may not be a waste, let us hear what the scripture says. Whenever you practice the word, even in a hundred years, only then will you see Christ. There is no wife, husband, church or government that can help; only individual determination can.
Golden Text: Revelation 14: 4
“These are they which were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are they, which follow the lamb wither so ever he goes. These were redeemed from among men being the first-fruits unto God and the Lamb.”

DEFILEMENT, A STUMBING BLOCK TO MANY A CHRISTIAN
The 144,000 who will follow Christ wherever He goes are those who have cut the time short to remain undefiled with women or men.
Let nobody deceive you, that there is any other condition. If Adam and Eve did not defile themselves, they would not die and there would be no want. You will be duly rewarded for whatever good work you do: paying of tithes, feeding the poor, visiting the sick and so on; but if you want to follow Christ. You must be undefiled by women or men. Following Christ is no joke. But what is impossible with man is possible with God.
Pray that God will help you to remain undefiled by women or men. Know that Christ is here with us. If we open the door for Him, He will come in and dwell with us and we in Him so that we may be heirs together for eternal life.

A stroke of cane is enough for the wise. Let he who has ears hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the entire world. May God bless His Holy Words.

Thank you Good Father

CHILDLESSNESS IS NOT A CURSE

1ST LESSON: ST. LUKE 23: 29
“For, behold the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck”.

2ND LESSON: ST. MATTHEW 24: 19
“And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days”.

GOLDEN TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 2: 15
“Notwithstanding she shall be saved in child bearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety”.

Brethren, the text constitute what we intend to reveal to you this morning. You are apt to think the same way the Ethiopian Eunuch did when he answered Philip, how can I know when I am not taught? When the Ethiopian Eunuch was reading a portion from Isaiah 53 that Philip went to him and asked whether he understood what he was reading? He answered saying, “How can I, except some man should guide me”? It is because of your need to understand that we have chosen these three lessons today to reveal to the Four Corners of the world.

CHILDLESNESS IS NOT A CURSE
We want to disprove the thinking of the world that bearing children is doing the work of God. And that whoever does not bear children is not doing the work of God. It is because of this belief that many women lament over their plight if they are childlessness. And I ask you, what has childbearing got to do in this Kingdom? If you have children what has that to do with this Kingdom? If you are childless, what has that to do with this Kingdom?
I am going to prove this point to you like one proves the theorems in algebra and geometry as I am going to use a live tortoise in consulting any oracle. Because many women have no children, they steal, tell lies, indulge in the preparation of concoctions and live every abominable kind of life. Have you heard the texts read to you? Also you may find a married woman, who is kind, respectful to her husband and does not tell lies, nor steal nor fornicate. But because she has no issue, her husband engages another woman who brings forth a brood of vipers. When you argue that the house should belong to her? This gospel is not meant to console the barren nor is it meant to grief those with children; they are free to do whatever they like. They have no thought about God anymore. They do not see any need for attending church as long as all their children remain alive. Have you heard what is read to you? Others rather complain of insufficient or the complete lack of children. They complain of having miscarriage and other forms of disorder that affects pregnancy. With these happenings they conclude that God does not love them. Have you heard what is read to you this morning?

CHILDLESSNESS DOES NOT GUARANTEE PROSTITUTION
If you perish in your barrenness it is not because you have not given birth but rather because you have consulted native doctors and soothsayers and indulged in every form of diabology in order to have children. In the same token if any woman that gives suck and brings up children is saved, it is not because she has brought forth children that she is saved. It is rather because she has faith and love.
When it is said, “Sing O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry loud, thou that didst not travail with child”. You find some women who are barren and those that have not married jumping from pillar to post fornicating, because they are childless. It is not your type who is meant in that passage. You may also begin to feel elated because it is said that women will be saved through childbearing. Childbearing is not the end of it. Unless you have in addition love, faith, righteousness and reverence for God, it will be incomplete. Many men also decide not to marry that they may share in the blessedness of the barren. Even at this, such women still fornicate, tell lies and commit all forms of evil. That blessedness does not extend to them. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision nor uncircumcision availeth anything, but faith, which worketh in love. I am telling you this so that you may be cleared in your conscience that this Kingdom does not depend on children or on wife or money or beauty. Do not continue to deceive yourself into believing that because you have reared up children you have thereby accomplished a great service before God. There is no service of God in childbearing except it is accompanied with faith, love and every good deed.

OBEDIENCE, NOT MARRIAGE WORKS SALVATION
Another group of persons when they hear that those that shall be accounted worthy to inherit the Kingdom of heaven neither marry nor are they given in marriage concludes that they are perished because they have already married and brought up children. This lesson has made it clear to you that you shall be saved if you have faith and keep the commandments of God. The word of God is two-edged sword. Some, on hearing of marriage they claim it is a carnal thing. Who told you that there is any carnality in this Kingdom? It is compared to the gospel, which says that it is very difficult for the rich to enter into the Kingdom of God. When the poor hear this they begin to dance that the Kingdom is their exclusive domain. We do not mean that kind of poverty. If I do not reveal the word of God to you, you will never understand its meaning. You can compare this to two portions of the Bible which says “woe to them that give suck in those days”, and another which says, “blessed are the wombs that never gave suck”. The word of God is a one-way traffic. Whether you are a man or a woman is immaterial. Once you have done what God wants you to do, you are free. We should not mix the worldly things with things of this Kingdom.

THE LOGIC OR REWARD FOR SELFLESS SERVICE
You will remember that while Our Lord Jesus Christ was watching the people put money into the treasury, a widow put in a mint, an equivalent of two farthings. Our Lord Jesus Christ commented that she had put more than all of them. Till today people do not understand the meaning of that statement.
What is meant by that statement can be compared to the riddle which says there are one hundred birds on a tree when one is shot, how many will remain? The foolish will reply that ninety-nine birds will remain, whereas you know that the rest will fly away at the instance of the gunshot. You cannot use human reasoning in understanding God. You may continue to read the Bible for 100 years but if the Father does not reveal it to you, you will not understand. You are just floating. How do you understand this situation where people do donate millions but a woman puts a mint, two of which are farthing, is said to donate the highest. How does she donate more? With your human reasoning you will never understand nor be convinced that the person who has given the farthing has put more than the rest. I am going to show you that the wisdom of God is truth and there is no lie in it. It is said that man looks at the appearance but God looks into the heart.
Now somebody has one million naira and gives out half a million. He is still left with another half million naira. Another person has half a million and gives a quarter of a million. He is still left with another quarter. This woman had a mint, which was two farthings and it was all that she had. This was all her hope and sustenance but she put all into the treasury. Do you not see that in giving all, she has given the most? The other person is left half a million. But this woman is left with nothing. That is why she has given the most. She has given the most because she gave all, while the others gave some. Did you ever come to this understanding?

THE LUST FOR CHILDREN LEADS TO SIN
In the same vein, a woman who separates herself from marriage in order to serve God, and does so with all her heart, is better than the one who marries and brings up children. The other woman who brings up children is to be pitied, because of bearing children; she has consulted native doctors. She has been injected with all sorts of concoctions. Do you not realise how pitiful she is? In the first instance, when she does not bear a child, she will go to the soothsayer, she has to perform various sacrifices so as to have a child, and she is very pitiful indeed. Also, because she does not have a child, she forsakes her husband to marry another. Some even go for D and C. “What kind of child will you bear which has led you into all these things?” Is he going to take you into the Kingdom of God?
How many men or women can truly boast that they had their children in the normal way? You had never wanted to be at the soothsayer but because of child you are there. Very many things that you would never have done, but now you have done them in order to have a child. Will you and this child enter together into this Kingdom? Even though you have not done anything to have a child, strictly speaking, your child will not take you into the Kingdom of God. Your lack of child will not remove you from the Kingdom of heaven either.

WHO MADE YOU A PROVIDER OF CHILDREN TO THE CHILDLESS
That is why when “One of the company said to Him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me”. Our Lord said unto him: “Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? And He said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesses”.

Our Lord Jesus Christ first asked him, who made me a judge or a divider over you? That is the question we should ask ourselves. When you claim that one woman is saved and the other is perished who has made you a judge or divider among men? When a woman is in her house you flock in large numbers asking her whether she would not want to have a child? You claim that you can do what will help her to have a child. Who has made you a judge and a divider among men? Who are you? Where do you come from? Again when someone bears children, you will ask her whether she does not want to enter into the Kingdom of God. Does it mean that if you bear children you will not enter into the Kingdom of God? Brethren, God is one and monotheistic. Whether you are a Jew or Greek, a male or female, once you do what pleases God, you must enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Whether or not you give birth, does not take you into the Kingdom of God. Whether or not you have children will not remove you from the Kingdom of God. If you have twenty children, you should understand that it is mundane and is never a factor in obtaining this Kingdom. Also, if you have no child, that has no bearing with entering into this Kingdom. If you keep to the instructions of God you will enter into this Kingdom. Heaven and earth shall pass away but the words of God shall never pass away forever.
If we were to receive and believe in this gospel of today, none of us would have any troubled mind. It is said, what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and looses his soul? It is said that it is better to enter into the Kingdom of heaven with one eye than to be cast into hell with two eyes. We should not disturb ourselves about having children or not having children. Your child does not take you into this Kingdom. Rather, if we have faith and continue in good deeds, we shall inherit this Kingdom.

1st Lesson: St. Luke 23: 29
“For, behold the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck”.

MAN HATES WHAT GOD LIKES
Brethren, have you heard that passage? It is a very easy thing for the women who have not given birth to enter into this Kingdom of God. But it is not easy with mothers. You see how the wisdom of God is higher than man’s. Today very many women who have not given birth complain that God does not love them. I am saying that you are the one who hates God. “The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage; but they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage; neither can they die any more; for they are equal unto the angels, and are the children of God, being children of the resurrection”. Who deceived you that if you do not give birth you are perished? Open a verse in the Bible, which says that you will not gain salvation because you are childless.
At all times, whatever is loved by the people of the world is hated by God, and what God hates are the things the world delight in. Today no matter how beautiful your wife is, no matter how good and obedient she is, you continue to beat her and treat her as a slave, maybe for the sole reason that she has not given birth to a child. Upon your wife’s education and good manners, you abandon her and pick a thief so that she may bear you children. When your wife gives birth, you will say that the house belongs to her. Do you not see how foolish the two of you are? You that continue to blame God for not giving you a child, and complain that God does not love you, have you not heard what is said? It is said that the time is coming when it shall be said, “blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps that never gave suck”. Why do you not rejoice in this statement? Why do you continue to mourn?
Agreed, you are a Brotherhood, but until you have a child will I know that you are serving God? Are you told that a child is the passport to God’s Kingdom? Now you know that you can only enter into the Kingdom of God through righteousness? It is similar to what the Bible says that Solomon built a house for God, but the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands. What kind of house can you build for God when He Himself created everything? If He needed a house, would He not have built it for Himself? What kind of a child do you want to give unto God of which He has not? Is He not the creator of all men and everything? Every time you continue to say that you want a child, and because of this desire you fornicate, consult juju and mermaid, and go in for D and C. what kind of a child is it? Have you not heard the scripture? Do you think you can enter the Kingdom of God through childbearing?

EARTHLY PLEASURES ARE TRANSITORY
Remember the story of Lazarus and the rich man? The same thing will happen to those who have children but fail to practice the word of God. The rich man ate to his satisfaction leaving the crumbs under his table. Lazarus fed on those crumbs. After sometime, Lazarus died and was taken to the bosom of Abraham. After sometime, the rich man also died and was taken into hell fire, “and in hell, he lifted his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime received thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things, but now he is comforted, and thou are tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed; so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot, neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence”.

I am not discouraging the pregnant women and those who give suck. I am also not discouraging the barren. I have brought the truth unto the whole world. The truth is this, if you do not do what is pleasing in the sight of God, you will perish. When many women hear ‘blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bear, and the pap which never gave suck, they abort when they get pregnant. Do you think that you will enter into this Kingdom of God? As it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God, so shall it be with those who give suck and those that are pregnant in those days.
When you take a look at the happenings in the world, would you say that it is a convenient time for bearing children? Is this the time to beget children? I want an answer from you because everything is laid bare before you. You that question God and ask why you have no child? You who claim that God do not love the other woman because she has no child; do you now realise why God does these things? It is because He does not want you to perish. Whomsoever He has chosen, He has chosen and does not want them to perish. If He gives you one child, rejoice in that, if He does not give you any child, rejoice. This is the time for everyone to serve Him. What we can do in order to enter into this Kingdom, let us do. Do not rejoice because you have a child and do not rejoice because you have no child.
How many children had John the Baptist? Our Lord Jesus Christ had how many children? Are all the inhabitants of the world not the children of Christ? When you argue that if you do not deliver children the population will not multiply, you should realise that the population has long been multiplied and increased ever before you came. Right from when God said, “Go ye and multiply” it was accomplished. Whether you have children or not, since God had made the pronouncement, it is as good as accomplished. Therefore, do not rejoice that you have children or should you rejoice that you have no children. Rather, rejoice because you have practiced the word of God. It is the only passport into this Kingdom.
Many women rejoice in having children. They will want them to become all that is desired by proud parents. They will send them to universities and to overseas. When people see this they will exclaim that this woman loves her children very much. They will say that the woman is very wise in her actions. I am telling you now that there is no wisdom in what she is doing. Do you not remember that story I told you about the widow?

ILLUSTRATION – THE WIDOW WHO DEFERRED GOD’S CALL
There was a widow who had four children and since God wanted to save her, He called her husband so that she may use the remaining part of her life in serving God. She refused God’s call. God spoke to her saying I did not call you to bear children but to serve Me. She replied that God should exercise patience until she would complete educating her children. Do you not know that bearing children can be with the antelope’s concept of bearing children? The antelope bears children so that they may feed her, and save her the trouble of walking in the snow. When the young antelopes came, the mother antelope realised that she still had to go under the snow in order to find food for the family. It is exactly the same situation when you have children. You want to bring up children so that they may serve you. You are bringing another burden unto yourself. What time will you have left at your disposal to serve God? When do you work out your own salvation?

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE PREREQUISITE TO GOD’S KINGDOM
Any person who seeks for this Kingdom should understand that this Kingdom does not consist of money, beauty, husband, wife, children or food. This Kingdom consists in righteousness. You pray for a husband so that you may be able to serve God very well. You do not understand what you need. You pray to God to give you money so that you may use it in serving Him. I say you are not ready to serve God. What did He tell that rich man: He said “Yet lackest thou one thing: Sell all that thou hast and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, and follow Me”. You who pray for children, money and so forth, have you heard what Our Lord Jesus Christ said? He said, “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Brethren, if God has extended this call to you, be absolutely satisfied with the position He has kept you. Do not ask questions so that what befell that widow will not befall you. If you have two or three children do not put your hope on them, because the children will not save you. Service to God is the only source of your salvation. Also, if you have no children, that does not constitute any problem to you. Do not seek for it rather go and practice what God wants, namely: love, self-control, truthfulness and righteousness. These virtues alone will admit you into the Kingdom of God. For it is said: “Today when you hear His voice do not harden your hearts”.
You are very fortunate in that you were already married but at the fullness of His time, He took away the husband. May be He also take the wife and children aside and say to you, it is time to serve God. Why do you still worry yourself looking again for the carnal things? It is said that everyone will carry his own burden. You are carrying your own burden. Even a child is carrying his own burden. This Kingdom of God demands individual sacrifice. Let us read our second lesson. Listen attentively, those of you who boast and rejoice in your children. It is all vanity and does not take you to anywhere. No good thing comes out of this claim but rather perdition if you hang your hope in that and do not practice what God wants.

2nd Lesson: St. Matthew 24: 19
“And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days”.

GOD PUNISHES THE DISOBEDIENT
Brethren, have you heard what the scripture says? He said, do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever makes himself a friend of the world is making himself an enemy of God. People will not enter into this Kingdom for that reason? Those that are with children in those days and those that give suck, if you perish and fail to enter into this Kingdom, it is because of children, it is because you have become pregnant or it is because you have given suck. Now the glorious thing has been turned into a shameful thing and the shameful thing into a thing of joy, since you mock the barren woman and praise the one who gives suck.
Tell Me why you should boast in children? You say that God loves you and has blessed you. On your child you call, and introduce them saying, Okon, come here. This one is a lawyer; the other one is a doctor. I ask, where does it take you? That story about the widow continued till the widow finished educating her four children. They all graduated and got married. Was that all? But what befell the four of them. God told the widow that it was not a child or children that brought her into this world. Rather, she was told, she had come to serve God. She was advised to leave those things and serve God. She begged God, ‘O please, wait a little longer, let me continue my humble prostitution and bring up these children’. She finished building her house. She also completed their education and consummated their marriages. What happened in the end? She entered into the world and started enjoying life. She drove in expensive cars and visit nightclubs.
She did not remember to do what God sent her. One day, after returning from a party, she dropped dead. In the world beyond, she was put into a concave. Since she was obstinate and failed to serve God and engaged herself in a worthless venture, she was to remain in that suffocation. Within a short time, the four children died and all of them were put into the same place with the mother. They were all in hell, under torment, but in the worldly arrangement you will praise this woman for her discretion. My question is what was her reward? You always say that money is nothing, clothing is nothing and that a child is everything. What is a child before God? God alone has the glory.

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE KEY TO HEAVEN
It is said, ‘today when you hear His voice harden not your heart. If you want to enter into this
Kingdom, practice the word of God. Whatever He has instructed you to do, do just that. Even if you are a millionaire, that name does not save you if you fail to do what God wants you to do, which is righteousness. Those that have children have their joy and hope in their children and so cannot please God. Those that have money put their love and joy and faith in their money and cannot do that which is pleasing to God. Those who have husband or wife put their love and hope in them and thereby constitute themselves enemies of God. To have a wife is good. It is also a good thing to have a husband. To have money is equally good because everything is yours. But be careful that you do not allow anything to debar you from serving God in the right way. For it is written, “Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy”. No matter how rich a person is, his life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses. His life is in the hands of God. That is why Paul said “but what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord”.

FLEE LUST
Do not let a child constitute your fall from this Kingdom of God. Do not, because of a husband, derail from the path of God. Do not, because of a wife, fall from the Kingdom of God. Do not, because of sickness, forsake the way of God. Do not; because of what to eat and what to wear you fall from grace. Because we shall not be saved by any of these things but shall be saved only if we do that which is pleasing in the sight of God.
Now that we are celebrating the 1985 Holy Queen Mother’s birth, after all, she is not the only one that gave birth. Rather, we are celebrating this week in honour of her virtues – love, righteousness, kindness, and patience, which she had. Till eternity God only loves good and hates evil. At no time has God encouraged evil. He does not take bribe and He is not respecter of persons. Let us listen to His instruction by loving and serving Him so that we may be saved.

BACK UP YOUR CLAIMS WITH GODLY VIRTUES
Do not ever think that there is anything, which you can do to save yourself. Is it only Our Lord Jesus Christ who was crucified on the cross? There were three people on the cross that day. Why could not the blood of the others be used in saving the world? Do you think that if Jesus had retaliated when He was spat or slapped that His blood would be used in saving us? You have heard that because He humbled Himself unto death that is why His name has been exalted above every other name. Did He not say that not all those who say unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven? But he that doeth the will of my father which is in Heaven. Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you, depart from me ye that work iniquity.
Forget about building a house for God and filling it with money because if you do not do that which is pleasing in the sight of God, your money will perish with you. That is why He said, “And though I bestow all my good to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing”. In this New Kingdom we have only one way. We all should look at this one light in order to gain salvation. Let our golden text be read so that you who continue to think that you can get in through the window may understand that you will never enter. It is a one way traffic.

Golden Text: 1 Timothy 2:15
“Notwithstanding she shall be saved in child bearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety”.

YOUR CONSOLATION SHOULD BE IN THE GOSPEL
Have you now realized the chain that links the gospels? It is said that woman shall be saved in proposition, “if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety”. It is just like what He said to the rich man: “Go and sell all that you have and distribute to the poor and come follow me”. He did not say that he would be saved only by selling and distributing his wealth. He also added, “Come, follow me”. That is where the knot is tied. It also means that though your bestow all your goods to feed the poor and give your body to be burned but you do not come and follow Him, it means nothing. If your consolation had been that since you have given birth to children you are saved, you are deceiving yourself. If you do not have the love of God, if you do not do that which is pleasing to God, you are not going anywhere. This word is for Me and you and the entire world. If two of us remain in love, bear each other, love one another, tell the truth, be humble, and continue to worship God in reverence and godly fear, we shall be saved. When the politicians of the world want to disgrace a barren woman they will refer her to this passage which says that a woman shall be saved through child bearing. When the woman sees this she will exclaim that she is lost, now, Mr. Politician open to St. Luke 23: 29 and also read to her blessings that are pronounced on the barren and the paps of which ever gave suck.
Brethren, you will realise that no word means anything in itself unless you investigate it to its end. A great number of people believe that if you believe and are baptised, you are saved. That is not the end to your salvation. What, if you do not practice the word of God? You will not enter. “Nor they are not all Israel, which are Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children but, Isaac thy seed be called. These are they which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: But children of promise are counted for the seed”.
If there is a woman who does what is pleasing in the sight of God, no child will save her. Your being a woman does not save you. Your being a husband does not save you. Whatever you are is in vain and does not save you except you do what is pleasing to God. You have heard of the ten virgins who went to marriage feast. Five of them had oil in their lamps; the other five had not. About midnight the bridegroom came. The five who had oil went with him. The other five requested oil from the five who had but were advised to go and buy theirs since the little they had was not going to be sufficient for both of them. As they went to buy oil the door was locked before they came back. Do you think that they had no children? Do you suppose that one gets into this Kingdom with a child? Do you think you can walk into this Kingdom with your brother? Do you think you will walk with your husband into it?

DO NOT DEFER GOD’S WORK
Whom do the five with oil represent? They are those who have faith in God. They have love and practice righteousness. That is why Our Lord Jesus Christ said, I must work the works of Him that sent me because the night is coming when no good thing can be done. I am Always surprised when I hear people say they have to care for their mothers or put their houses in order before they go on ministry work. Remember time and tide waits no one. You heard that young man who told Our Lord Jesus Christ that he would first go and bid his family farewell. Do you ever hear any more of him? He is perished. His father is perished. He himself is perished, but Jesus is still reigning.
There is nothing that we can compare with the Kingdom of God. I have carried a tin of oil; I have also carried a tin of water. I know the weight of both. What is life in the world? It is a loss. What did you bring with you and what will you take back? Why should we not run the race as those that want a prize? I think that Our Lord Jesus Christ is the one who understands more than all the heavens and all men. Paul saw this Kingdom faintly. Christ had likened the Kingdom of God unto treasure hid in a field, which when a man found, he hideth, for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

REACH FORWARD TO THE CROWN
Paul was a lawyer and a Pharisee but when he saw this Kingdom afar off, he forsook his profession. He abstained from marriage, separated himself from the world that he may obtain this Kingdom. When you come here you pray God to give you a child and husband and money. Where do these things lead you? They lead you to perdition. It is said: “Are you called in uncircumcision? Do not seek circumcision. Were you called in circumcision? Seek not for uncircumcision. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love”. If you were called when you did not marry a husband, do not now seek for one. Rather use this opportunity in serving God. If you are called when you had no child, do not now seek for a child. Use the opportunity in saving your soul. If you were called when you had many children, do not drive them away. Use the golden opportunity to serve God. Let every person remain in the state wherein God called him. Your position in this world does not save you unless you answer to this call and serve God with faith, love and obedience to His words.
God does not call any person at the time such a person is perfect. He does not call you at the time you believe in Him. He calls you when you do not yet believe. He does it this way so that you too should be merciful to those who do not believe in Him. Because He called you when you did not believe, now that He has extended this call unto us, we should forget all that we left behind and reach forward to the crown. We should reach forth to practicing His words, His love and other virtues. We should strive in loving him and doing those things that are pleasing to Him.

WHY THE HOLY QUEEN MOTHER’S WEEK IS CELEBRATED
The Holy Queen Mother’s Week is not celebrated because she gave birth. It is rather celebrated because she had faith, love and righteousness. That is the reason salvation has reached us. If each of us will have implicit faith in God and love Him, if we love each other and serve God, salvation will be extended to us. This is the only way. Even if you are a child, and you love God and have faith in Him, you are saved. If you are an old man but you practice righteousness and have faith in God, you will be saved. God does not save us unto this Kingdom because of any other thing apart from faith working through love. You complain saying, people are troubling me, and there is no employment, money, and food. These are not the concerns of God. If you abide by the instructions of God that is all you need in order to enter into the Kingdom of God. If we put on Our Lord Jesus Christ, since He suffered in the flesh, we shall also suffer in the flesh. Any person who suffers in the flesh has refrained from sin and so we shall refrain from all sins. All that He wants is for us to refrain from sin and separated ourselves unto this Kingdom.

Brethren, I will not take you further. A stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. Those who have ears to hear; let them hear. May the Lord bless His Holy Words. Amen.

Thank You Good Father

EVERLASTING GOSPEL DELIVERED BY THE HOLY FATHER, THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER AND SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU (WHQ) BCS 34 AMBO ST CALABAR NIGERIA

“FORGIVENESS IS THE KEY TO GODLINESS”

1ST LESSON: ST LUKE 17:4
“And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.”

2ND LESSON: COLOSSIANS 3:13
“Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man has a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye”.

GOLDEN TEXT: ST. MATTHEW 18: 35
“So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not everyone his brother their trespasses.”.

Brethren, this is a singular and spectacular Gospel. It will not be much but brief. It has nothing to say about fornication, stealing, anger and other vices but is centred on forgiving one another. If you do not give into works of the flesh, like adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulation, wrath, strife, sedition, heresy, envying, murdering, drunkenness, revealing, and such like vices but you fail to forgive others, their trespasses against you, then you are lost. Brethren, have you heard that word? That is why I always tell you that I would wish that you were here always to hear all the things that make man stumble revealed to you. Today, I do not intend to be tedious unto you.

Our topic of discussion will be forgiveness. If anyone offends you and asks for forgiveness, you must forgive him. If one offends you seven times a day and asks for forgiveness seven times a day, you are duty-bound to forgive and forget. The Key to This Kingdom of God is in the word, FORGIVENESS. This was in the last of the teaching our Lord Jesus Christ imparted to His Disciples. He also practised this teaching. As the Last Food He had with the disciples is called the Last Supper, so is this Gospel called the Last Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

FORBEARANCE
Any time you are sick or exposed to any afflictions that tends to take your life, the first thing to do is to forgive all those who offended you and everything will be well. If you have someone in your mind that you have not forgiven, you have caused death to yourself. Though you have practised all the other gospels and you fail to practice this one, salvation will surely elude you.

COUNT NO SIN FOR ANYBODY AND FORGIVE.
If someone calls you a thief or murderer, abuses you, steals from you, kills your relation or a member of your family, do not count sin on him. You must forgive and forget. If someone commits adultery with your wife, assassinates your character and that of your wife, or worse still unlawfully impregnates your daughter, burns down your home or destroys your property wilfully or not, you are duty bound to forgive and forget.
If someone lies against you, or in fact deals with you nonchalantly commits any act or manner of sin or atrocity against you it is your responsibility to forgive him and forget what he has done against you.

FORGIVENESS IS THE SHORT CUT TO THIS KINGDOM
It is neither long nor wide. Pass through this door and you will surely inherit this Kingdom. This Gospel is short but tedious. Since you were bent, all the offences that have been committed against you must now be forgiven and forgotten. If someone has waylaid you, or destroyed and assassinated your character, forgive him NOW. This Gospel is founded on Truth. It is salvation to those who believe and practice it, but damnation for those who ignore it. The route to Heaven is open to the entire world if they forgive one another. THE PROVISO: Our Lord Jesus Christ gave this injunction to humanity:
“So likewise: shall my heavenly Father do unto you if ye from your hearts forgive not everyone his brother their trespasses”
If you do not forgive others their trespasses and offences against you, God will surely retain your own trespasses likewise. You, who claim that even if God was to descend on earth, that you will never forgive, tell Me, do you now see your problem? If you are so righteous and practised all the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ, but fail to bow to this Gospel being revealed to you today, Salvation will surely elude you. If you practice this Gospel, you will have eternal life, but if you fail, damnation awaits you. If you do not forgive you will be filled with darkness and this situation will lead you to commit more hideous sins. If you learn to forgive, from today you will be filled with Light and this Light will lead you to practice more righteousness. Darkness will never prevail over you. Your ways will be open. All ailments and tribulation will flee from you.
To forgive costs nothing. It is neither singing nor dancing. It is not fun either. Many people are fond of saying that they have no money, or melodious voice to sing. Neither can they speak languages, nor have the means to go on missionary visits to spread the word of God; but I tell you brethren that it does not need all those to please God, rather sit down where you are and practice this Gospel of forgiveness. You will notice that forgiveness is not among the Ten Commandments. It is a distinct and new law, which is more powerful than all other commandments.
If’ one professes to be a Christian and this knowledge of forgiveness eludes him, let him know that he is a child of perdition. If you observe this commandment alone you have fulfilled all other Laws and your ways are opened bearing in mind that the Israelites wanted to observe the law and have salvation, but they failed and perished in the final analysis.

THE RELATIVE CHAIN-LINK
You have heard that, “For whosoever shall keep the law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, do not commit adultery, also said do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery yet, if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law”. Now if you practice this Gospel, you have covered all other commandments thereby obtaining justification by grace from God, with salvation as its aftermath. I am not saying that you will be saved. I am saying that you are saved already. You are all aware of the fact that it could not have taken as much as 140 years to journey from Jerusalem to Egypt and then Canaan. This is simply parabolic in its usage. If you practice this gospel, you will realize that the sins against the Ten commandments constitute the long route to salvation whereas if you forgive one another, God will forgive you and you will pass through the short route to salvation.
If you assimilate this Gospel and practice the same, you are saved for eternity. Brethren, this Gospel is harder to practice than the others. For someone to take your wife or husband and you are enjoined to forgive that person and forget the whole thing seems very difficult, but if you practice it that is where your salvation will be. Think of someone taking away all your money by deception, and the very next minute that person passes you on the road with all pride and arrogance, yet you are told to forgive that person. It is not an easy task.
Again, consider someone who goes to bear a totally unprovoked and unjustified false witness against you and yet you are asked to forgive him. It is also difficult to forgive someone who has robbed you blind. Do not think about whatever that is done against you because forgiving your enemy is the way to salvation and eternal life. If you start from today to practice this Gospel, it will be peace to your soul and your way also will be full of light. The day you vow that you will never forgive your enemy, that is the day you have paved the way for your destruction.

THE GREAT REWARD IN PRACTISING THIS GOSPEL
Brethren: you can now see why our Lord Jesus Christ said that those who initiated His crucifixion should be forgiven by His Father- God, because they never knew what they had done. If our Lord Jesus Christ had not uttered this statement, He would have perished. There would have been no way our Lord Jesus Christ would have been forgiven. What sin is greater than that committed against our Lord Jesus Christ? Yet He asked the Father to forgive His accusers and enemies, because they did not know what they were doing.
Note that the people who crucified our Lord Jesus Christ did not come forward to beg for forgiveness before He said those words. Whoever you are; whatever position you have in this life or before God; if you fail to forgive your enemies, you have failed woefully! Romans 12: 19 says,
“Dearly beloved avenges not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath, for it is written, Vengeance is Mine: I will repay, says ‘The Lord’. It is the duty of God to avenge even for the smallest rat, goat, trees, birds and the whole humanity, if they adhere to His injunctions. Whatever you do to someone else, God will do the same in the exact measure to you.

ONLY THE FATHER CAN FORGIVE AND ADMONISH
God is your Father as well as the Father of the other person. You and your entire household, friends and enemies, have the same Father. If anyone sins, he exposes himself to the vengeance of God. God does not have a special love for anyone whereby He gives concessions. No He is not a respecter of persons. He judges in righteousness. That is why He has said that you should forgive who ever trespassed against you, so that He will equally forgive your trespasses against Him. If you fail to keep this particular injunction, you have automatically become a victim of His judgement and vengeance. Consider this parable;
“The Kingdom of God will be likened unto a certain king who would take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, who owed him ten thousand talents. But for as much as he had not paid, the king commanded him to be sold and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down and worshipped the king, saying, Lord, have patience with me and I will pay thee all. The Lord of that servant was moved with compassion and he forgave him the debt. But the same servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred pence; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying pay me that thou owes me. And his fellow servant fell down at his feet and besought him saying, have patience with me and I will pay thee all.
And he would not; but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. So when his fellow servant saw what was done they were very sorry, and came and told their lord what was done. Then his Lord, after that he had called him, said unto him. O thou wicked servant; I forgave thee all that debt because thou desire me. Should not thou therefore have had compassion on thy fellow servant even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was filled with wrath, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him….” St. Matthew 18: 23-24
What happened to this wicked servant will surely happen to anyone who after pleading with God for the forgiveness of their sins and shortcomings, and he is forgiven but would refuse to forgive his fellow man even for the smallest offence committed on him.

YOU CAN ATTRACT FORGIVENESS
You recall when the disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ asked Him to teach them how to pray, as John the Baptist had done with his followers. The Lord taught them thus:
“…And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors…! St. Matthew 6: 12. Forgiveness is the Key! Many times people complain that God does not answer their prayers; and now you have seen that this particular prayer has found you and I. The question is have you forgiven those who have sinned against you? If you say our Lord’s prayer, given above, and fail to comply with it and fail to forgive others you have committed a double sin. Due to the adulterated nature of life in this world, the crafty and shallow wisdom of man has been exposed. Mankind now ask God to teach them how to forgive, relegating the prayer of our Lord above to the background. I ask, how many times are they going to be taught? Our Lord said, “And forgive us our debts as we forgive others their debt…” Brethren, it is now clear where your problem hangs, you can fast and pray till your life is almost spent. If you do not forgive those who sin against you, you are lost.
YOU MAY GIVE YOUR BODY TO BE, BURNT BY FIRE, SHARE ALL YOUR RICHES WITH THE POOR, CONDUCT FEAST EVERYDAY, BUT IF YOU FAIL TO FORGIVE YOUR ENEMIES, ALL WHAT YOU HAVE DONE IS IN VAIN:

A lot of you sitting here have got someone in your minds you now want to forgive and any time you come across these persons, you sigh. As you have decided not to forgive that person, you have exposed yourself to the judgement of God Unless you forgive that person and make peace with him, forgetting all what has been done to you, your way to salvation is still far-fetched. If you do not reckon sins against your neighbour, none will dare reckon sins on you. There would be no law courts, prison or police. If you do not reckon sins on your neighbour, your heart is pure and clean, and you can see God and fully communicate with Him. Love and forgive your neighbour and speak the truth. Be free with every one in everything. As I do not intend to be tedious unto you, let us now have the first bible lesson:

1st Bible Lesson: St Luke 17: 4
“And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.”

Brethren have you heard that? Upon all the sins committed by human against God, which had previously moved God to destroy human race, but for our Lord Jesus Christ who came to atone for our sins. God forgave the world her sins. Since man has no iota of righteousness in him, nor can he forsake sins of his own accord, God decided to forgive man out of His tender mercies.
The parable given above are for the people of the world. Upon all the sins of the world, God forgave because of our Lord Jesus Christ. And He says we must follow suit. But, see a man whose wife has been coveted by another man. Despite all pleas for mercy from different quarters, this man whose wife was coveted by another man stiff-nakedly decides to take the life of the wanton man. See the way Potiphar quickly imprisoned Joseph, when his wife falsely accused Joseph of attempting to rape her. And I ask you how would Potiphar find out the truth? Did salvation not elude him because of his actions?

FORGIVE ONE ANOTHER
Brethren, the entire world is filled with sins but because of our Lord Jesus Christ, God forgave the entire world. Then He gave an injunction that the whole world must learn of Him. When people complain that there is so much suffering in the world today, though Our Lord Jesus Christ has atoned for our sins, it is because the world has not learnt to forgive and forget.
Moses gave the well-known law, that one must love only those who love them and hate those who hate them equally. Even now you proclaim that this is the era of our Lord, yet you repay evil for a good turn that has been done to you. Our Lord Jesus Christ said in St. Luke 17: 3-4 that “Take heed to yourselves; if thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turns to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.” Thus in this New Kingdom of God here on earth, we do not know what is called sin. Since Christ died once for our sins the life He leads now has nothing to do with sin. Sin therefore has no power over us. All those who now-input sin on others has crucified our Lord the second time and have publicly put shame to His Holy Name. All those who do not forgive others do not believe that the Lord died for our sins and such people are woeful sinners. They have rejected life and are consumed with afflictions and sufferings in multiform.

The word of God says,
‘For he shall have judgement without mercy, that hath showed no mercy, and mercy rejoiceth against Judgement. “James 2: 13. If you are fond of forgiving others you have escaped judgement and you are already saved. Where is your salvation, you who reckon sins against others? You are a rogue, but when another rogue breaks into your house you fail to forgive him. And I ask you, how do you expect to be forgiven for your own roguery? What sin has someone committed against you that you have not committed against someone else? What do you lose in forgiving others so that God will in turn forgive you? Brethren, do you know that lack of spiritual understanding has exposed you to doom? It is in your own interest to forgive others because your own sins are more grievous and heinous than those done against you.
If someone says woe unto you what has it got to do with you? Do you lose anything? What pain has it inflicted on you that you cannot forgive? You are not a thief but someone stands up to swear that you are one. Does his oath or allegations make you a thief! Why then can you not forgive him? You have not committed adultery with someone’s wife or husband, but your accuser stands up to condemn you vehemently. Is it God who knows everything? Your only way to salvation is forgiving one another regardless of what you have suffered. If you do not forgive your offender, both of you are bound to be lost!
If you claim to be a true Brotherhood, do not reckon sin for anyone. Rather always be ready to forgive and forget and be free with everyone. Our brother, Paul said in Philippians 3: 13 –
“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before”. What is the actual meaning of forgetting those things, which are behind? It is forgetting all the offences and sins committed against you by others. Immediately this is done, your ways are open and you continue then in well doing. Do you know what hinders you from doing good and practicing the injunctions of our Lord Jesus Christ? It is your failure to forgive and forget.

FORGE AHEAD IN WELL-DOING
Our Lord told that young man who asked His permission to go and bid farewell to them which were in his house before he follows Him, “And Jesus said unto him, no man having put his hand to the plough, and looking back is fit for the Kingdom of God.” St. Luke 9: 62.
We are saved by grace. This grace is obtained by forgiving others. It is very simple. You realize that you are a sinner and that your neighbor is also a sinner like you. If both of you forgive one another wholeheartedly, God will surely forgive your sins and give you salvation. You do not lose anything in forgiving others. What do you lose by forbearing one another? You rather gain pardon and exoneration from the judgement of God. What will you profit in taking someone to court? You and your offender will surely perish through this act. People are tempted to ask why Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members no matter their numerical strength, avoid strife and unrest. The reason is because they are under grace and no matter what their fellow members do to them, they always forgive and forget.

GRACE ABOUNDS IN MIDST OF SINS
Satan has vowed that he will not allow anybody to serve God; this is the reason why he has infested the entire world with retaliation. God seeing this introduced a short cut for man to enter into this Kingdom and this short cut is forgiving one another. If you uphold this injunction, you are saved and nothing shall pluck you from the hands of God. If someone has not offended you, he is always bold to your face, but the minute he offends you, he falls on his knees to beg for forgiveness, whether he is a governor, president etc. And if you forgive him, he will acclaim you as a true child of God. You may note that hitherto this man never used to greet you, this is why offence has to come for grace to abound.
If you give a person one million pounds, he will have the appreciation that you have given him money, but he is more appreciative when he steals your money, and you refuse to sue him to court or disclose it to anyone. There is no greater work of God than forgiving one another. This is why you are advised to have love because love goes with mercy and forgiveness. The word forgiveness sounds so small but it is the most difficult word to practice. Because it seems that you claim perfection, I expose to you that none is perfect. Someone is elected to a position and instead of using his position to forgive and teach others forgiveness, he starts to show others that they are less fortunate and cannot be elevated as he was because they are sinners. And I ask you, was he elected because of his good works? Let us now have the second bible lesson:

2nd Lesson: Colossians 3: 13.
“Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man has a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye”.
That is what you are called to come and observe and practice. Forbear and forgive one another as Christ did forgive us. As our Lord Jesus Christ washed the feet of His disciples and it came to the turn of Peter, he said:
“…and Peter saith unto Him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith unto Him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, if I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me….” St. John 13: 6-8. Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all” St. John l3: 9-10.

OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART
Many of you are exposed to what evil people have done to your families when you were very young and now grown up, you swear to get back at them. May be some one you served or lived with or was adopted by, really maltreated you and now you bear him grudge till today. Such attitude is death! What do you call witchcraft, juju, mermaid and Satan? It is the act of not forgiving one another. It is said, ” O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man, out of the evil treasure bringeth forth-evil things’. St Matthew 12: 34-35. You can see that if you forgive others, your heart will be pure and clean and whatsoever you speak will reflect good things and you are free. Peace and light will attend your entire endeavor.
But if you do not forgive others your heart is enkindled with smoky fire and you are covered by darkness. This position will surely expose you to other vices. It is said that we are under Grace and not Law. Grace is forgiving others. It is said that those who wish to obtain justification through law have been separated from Christ. Woes unto those who wish to obtain salvation through observance of the Law, but cannot completely observe the law.
Brotherhood members are under grace. And when someone comes to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, he is asked whether he bears someone grudge or malice in his heart and if so, he should remove such things from his heart, forgiving and forgetting what has passed and thereafter, he should be baptized. Once this is done he is filled with the Holy Spirit and there is no condemnation for him. You are witnesses that if you come before Me five times a day, what I ask you is whether you harbor any malice or anger against anyone? Immediately you are forgiven, you are free! If you then forgive others who wronged you your problems are gone; but if you go back to renew your previous grudge, your problems will automatically come back in full force. Then you start to complain that all your problems have come back and though you have gone to The Holy Father, yet they persist. And I ask you, have you forgiven those who wronged you? This is the secret of this Kingdom.
If you owe someone N1,000.00 and out of mercy he forgives you because you cannot pay, it does not mean that you have paid your debt. Anytime he is not on good terms with you he has the right to demand for his money. Don’t you see the wisdom of God? He has asked you to forgive and you will be forgiven. If you reckon sin on anyone, He will also hold up your own sins. Do not come here as a good man devoid of sin and start to observe the faults of others as if you are perfect because you are trying to judge. Let us now have the Golden Text:

Golden Text: St. Matthew 18: 35
“So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you if ye, from your hearts forgive not everyone his brother their trespasses.”

Those who have ears let them hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

Thank you Good Father

“GOD’S PROMISE AND ITS EFFECT”

TEXT: 1ST CORINTHIANS 12: 1- END.

LOVE IS GREATEST
I have decided to use the above text as a source of this lecture because of the turn out of events in the world today. I want everyone to reflect on the text with the view of deriving one or two lessons from the excerpt. If one looks around the world today to see what is going on, he will discover that so many people are too arrogant. Even here in Brotherhood some people do not allow others to speak where they are because they think that those ones are not as rich as they are. The fact that you have money does not make you a reservoir of knowledge. Many people think that because they are rich, they are therefore the only cocks to crow. People do not want any other person to play any part in the Bethel because they claim they single-handedly built it. Many people who are blessed with different gift brag and boast about their talents. Those who are blessed with the gift of vision would stop giving visions to people at the slightest provocation so that people would know their importance in the Bethel. Those given the ability to preach would discontinue any time they are not happy. These people would always hold people to ransom all because they want people to recognize their talent. They want to prove that they are indispensable. These sums up the fact that man is arrogant with what he has.
Another point to note is that everybody is a part in the whole system. That is to say, no one can effectively function in isolation. The whole system within which we all operate with our various gifts could best be likened to a combustible engine. Even a small nut can render the whole engine ineffective. But if all the component parts are functional, then the engine can operate effectively. Whatever is your talent is for you to contribute your quota to the success of the entire system. I want you to know that of all the gifts, love is the greatest of them all. This is why it is summarized in verse 31 of the above text thus:

“But covet earnestly the best gifts; and yet show I unto you more excellent way”.

There is no person, nation, or group of people that can shape this world to the standard expected by God. Neither the whites nor the blacks can make the world a good place to live in. This is to emphasize the fact that no one should look down on anybody, no matter how lowly placed the person is. Do not judge anybody if the person is not practicing the word of God. Put in your best and work towards the glory of God. What you should know is that, everybody is blessed with one gift or the other and certain individuals are entitled to certain rights and privileges, which others are not.
Do not discriminate against any creature. Every creature has a definite purpose on earth. Everything works towards the glory of the Creator. As far as love is concerned, we are indivisible whole. We should not bother ourselves for anything because everything has its own function. Man cannot perform the duty of fishes, animals, birds, rodents, insects, bacteria, and other micro organisms and vice versa. God has a purpose for His Creation. Man should shun discrimination and work towards helping others to function effectively for the overall interest of the entire system.

This lecture is a thought provoking one. Someone may say that he is not a member of Brotherhood but the person is a taxi driver who conveys people from one place to another, by the virtue of his job, he is a member of Brotherhood because, without him, the movement of people could have been impossible. And if people could not move from one place to another, they would not have performed their duty. The entire system therefore would have paralyzed. We are all members of Brotherhood and functional units of the whole system. If one of us ceases to function effectively, the consequences is that the entire system will be affected adversely.
For someone to claim that he is not a member of Brotherhood shows that the person is a liar. As long as you were created by God, you are a member of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. It does not matter where you belong. Wherever you are, you must perform your functions. Everybody has a task ahead of him to perform in order to enhance the effectiveness of the overall system within which we all exist. For instance before one accepts to live in a decent modern house, many things are taken into consideration. There must be a kitchen, toilet, bathroom, water, electricity among other necessary things and if a house lacks these, then it cannot be seen as a modern house.

WHO IS A BROTHERHOOD?
The government provides her citizens with social facilities like schools, hospitals, markets, recreational centers etc. All these and many more things are meant to improve the lots of the masses, yet they claim they are not members of Brotherhood. The fact that you contribute to better the lots of human race is enough for you to be a Brotherhood member. So long as you are interested about the comfort of your fellow man, you are a Brotherhood member because Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is love. You should know that all gifts are from God and no matter how a man lives his life, God is responsible.
The spirit in human beings is the same but people are gifted differently. We should therefore see ourselves as one indivisible whole. If anything happens to anyone (a unit in the system) will definitely affect all of us. This is so because one faulty unit has a negative chain effect on the entire system. The entire world is one and we are attached to it through love. The angels, sun, moon, star, men, birds, animals, plants, insects, water, air etc, are all components of this system. What keeps the world is the unity, which exists among God’s creation. Even within your body, there are various functional sub-units. If any part fails to function, you will automatically cease to function.

“Do not fail to serve God because of one thing or the other. You should know that God sees and knows everything. You want to be a millionaire, Governor, President, Professor etc but have you intimated the owner of these positions? Why do you think that you can successfully get hold of these things without first informing God, the owner and Creator of every- thing and positions? You should know that, if you work for me I will work for you. Endless and brutal struggle for wealth and position are not the best ways to get them. God is the owner of everything, the heaven, the earth etc, are all His. He is also responsible for sharing them. He gives His things to those He loves and to those who serve Him and keep to His words; and not to someone who scrambles and wants to grab”
Another interesting point to note is that, in each of these functional sub-divisions, there is always one to lead and control the affairs and proper functioning of the entire set up. That is why in all countries, communities, towns, villages and families, a particular person is elected to rule other members. It is sheer foolishness to think that a man cannot rule over you. This is the handiwork of God and nobody can change this order. The Scripture at 1st Corinthians 9: 24-27 states:

“Know ye not that they, which run in a race, run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air. But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection; lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a cast away”.

By now, you should realize that, whatever happens on earth was already recorded in the scriptures. It is said that, “…they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize”.
Now, take a look at the politics of the world, many people will vie for a post where millions of money is spent on campaign yet, only one person will be elected into the post and others will suffer defeat and financial loss. The world is working according to God’s plan. Man must rule to confirm God’s words and many will fight to be elected to rule but at last, one out of the lot will be selected. Whoever is elected will be the ruler, and as a part of that system, one cannot reject that person’s rule. Immediately the mantle of leadership is given to the elected person, he becomes the ruler and you, the subject. If you cannot accept man to rule you, I wonder whether you want a tree to rule you. It is only man that was created to rule and it is a matter of necessity that man must rule.
People’s ambition for leadership and rejection of another leader comes from arrogance. It is better to accept things the way God wants them. We should not discriminate against anybody because we are one in God. Do not rejoice for your high position, qualification or sex. Many people make false claim that it is president Babangida who is ruling Nigeria. If this is true, what about God? If there were no air, land, trees, water, human beings etc, as created by God, what would he rule? Many people are myopic by misappropriating Government funds because according to them, government money belongs to nobody. This trend should stop. You cannot cheat someone in order to survive. Those you cheat to swell your purse are God’s children. Such unwholesome act cannot contribute to the well being of the world.
God keeps you in your position so that you can work hard to alleviate other’s problems. You are not to use your position to contribute to another person’s woes in life. And you should share whatever God gives you with others. When making policy decisions, you should be fair to all persons irrespective of tribe, class and sex. Let the interest of the people you rule be uppermost. Do not introduce politics into religion. In governing, you should be guided by God’s injunctions and you should practice love.
Do not see yourself as being superior to another person and you should not look down on any particular race or tribe as inferior. God owns everything that sustains man. We should see ourselves as our brother’s keepers and know that whatever one does to another, same will be done to him. And believe also that whatever a man sows same will he reap. Do not struggle for position. One thing you must know is that, one person must rule at a time. And if you were destined to rule at the appointed time, you will definitely rule. Do not blame anybody for the strange happenings in the world because God is responsible for everything. Take this illustration as a lesson.

ILLUSTRATION
There was a queen and a widow with four children who lived in a certain village. The queen, because of her position claimed one of the widow’s plots. The widow being a less-privileged person went to the court to seek redress. But contrary to her expectation, the court decided the case in favor of the queen. Out of frustration, the widow decided to seek vengeance in the hands of God. She got baptized into a particular church and then presented her case to the pastor of the church. The pastor advised her to forget about the plot but that she should take up preaching. Before now, she had been given a religious pamphlet to read. She was touched by the contents of the pamphlet. As such, the woman and her children accepted to do the work of God wholeheartedly.
The queen had no child and during holidays she played host to her nephew. One day this boy was still enjoying his holiday with the queen, he came across the widow’s daughter and became interested in her and decided to marry her. The boy vowed never to get married to any other woman if not the widow’s daughter. He loved the girl so much that He would not want anything to stand between him and the girl. And to lure the widow into accepting her daughter to be married to the queen’s nephew, the boy decided to undertake the entire financial problem and education of the widow’s other children.
The fact that the queen had no child, this boy became the heir to her property and estate. Not long after the nephew took the widow’s daughter for marriage, the queen died. And according to her “Will”, the nephew became the owner of all she had acquired including the land she usurped from the widow. As God would have it, because of the extent of love the man had for his wife (the widow’s daughter), he also made his will where the wife became the legal inheritance of his property. It was not long the man also died. And now the questions are, who was the owner of both the queen’s property and that of the nephew? Whom would you say is responsible for that situation?

GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM
The above illustration confirms the fact that whatever God keeps for you; there is no one on earth that can take it from you. It becomes a matter of amusement for one to see a man scramble for property and even go to the extent of killing another for it. You scramble and eliminate people simply because you want to be wealthy. Is this behavior in line with the teachings of Christ? The scripture says:

“Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all other things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6: 33”.

Do not fail to serve God because of one thing or the other. You should know that God sees and knows everything. You want to be a millionaire, Governor, President, Professor etc. But have you intimated the owner of these positions? Why do you think that you can successfully get hold of these things without first informing God, the owner and Creator of everything and positions? You should know that, if you work for me, I would work for you. Endless and brutal struggle for wealth and position are not the best ways to get them. God is the owner of everything, the heaven, the earth etc, are all His. He is also responsible for sharing them. He gives the things to those He loves and to those who serve Him and keep to His words, and not to someone who scrambles and wants to grab. If you like consult witch doctors or hire thugs to assist you to eliminate your competitors, you are deceiving yourself because the will of God must be done at the end of it all. I want you to take particular note of the following texts:

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all other things shall be added unto you St. Matthew 6: 33

“And Jesus said unto him, thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and with all thy mind Matt.22: 37.

For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers, but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. 1 Peter 3: 12
“But if any man love God, the same is known of him”. 1 Corinthian 8: 3
“For bodily exercise profiteth little, but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come”. 1 Timothy 4: 8
Ponder over these excerpts. The carnal things and the struggle to achieve them have little profit. How long can one stay in the office as a governor or president in spite of his desperate moves and of what gain are these positions to God? One must know that the things of this world have a limited life span but God’s things are for eternity. Nothing is greater than the gift of God. Everything belongs to Him and He gives these things only to those He loves.
It is sheer foolishness for one to be so desperate and frantic to get at a particular goal. You should bear in mind that you can not get what God did not give to you despite your effort. And except He loves you, you cannot get anything from Him. For you to induce God to love you, then you must as of necessity, do His will.
Why did God make Abraham the Father of all nations? Was it not because of his righteousness and faith in God? Romans 4: 13. If this is so, why then do you feel like killing anybody who stands between you and your goal in order to attain your dream? How comfortable are those who forced their ways into power? Have they not been abased?

I bring the truth to you through My teachings because the world is empty and vain. I do not want anybody to fall into the similar ways of old. I want everybody to realize that there is no gain in the worldly positions and wealth. The best and most rewarding thing to do is to serve God and receive His blessings, which will bring other things to you. The rational thing for man to do is to shun all the unprofitable things and decide to serve God with all his body and soul so that He may see him through his problems and exalt Him accordingly. Try God by doing His work and see if He will not surprise you with His abundant blessings.
What on earth is greater than the promise God made to Abraham? God told him to flee his birthplace to an unknown land. He did not resist but hearkened to the still voice. Today has the promise of God to Abraham not come to pass? And that promise has passed on to his descendants. So what we enjoy now are the fruits of God’s promise to our forefather – Abraham.

Galatians 3: 27-29 states:
“For as many of you that have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male of female, for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise”.

We are the heirs of Abraham. In other words, all the children of God are the heirs of Abraham. Abraham was called the friend of God because he pleased God by obeying Him.
Those politicians, millionaires, warriors and impostors of the world who want to get a particular thing by fair or foul means should read this gospel between lines. All those who seek for power, thieves, and dupes, among others the message of this gospel should dawn on you now. I laugh you to scorn whenever I sit back to see all the mess you engage in all in the name of succeeding. And for the fact that you want the Father to effect your request, you come here to give false impression about yourself. Immediately you leave this premises, you go back to your former habit and claim that you tricked Leader Obu and got what you wanted? In this case, you are rather deceiving yourself and not God.

LEARN FROM HISTORY
You cannot get anything from God except you heed to His instruction. Your claim that you have got everything is completely false. You have not got anything. God is the owner of everything and same He gives to whom He loves. And except you do His work you cannot get His love. And except He loves you, you cannot get His favour. If God decides to give the entire world to you, there is nobody who can take it from you. This is the knowledge that the world is yet to come by. I therefore charge you to go out and get the world informed that God is the owner and giver of all things. And our father, Abraham had God’s favour for his faith and obedience to God; any of his descendants who abide by God’s words will live to share in these blessings. As long as we are the heirs of Abraham, that promise has been extended to us.
According to the scriptures, God promised to give Abraham a son and that son was no other than Christ. Nobody can nullify God’s promise to man. Read Galatians 3: 15-16. God made this promise to Abraham four thousand years before the actual birth of Christ. We are all the heirs of Abraham, as well as Christ’s. The birth of Jesus the Christ has a manifestation of Abraham the Father of all nations. Have you ever heard another person who is being referred to as the father of all nations apart from Abraham? The most important note from this promise is that, Our Lord Jesus Christ is the greatest of all creations of physical manifestations. And whoever refuses to give Him His due honour is a sinner. Even when Christ knew His place as the greatest, He did not blow His trumpet; He rather humbled Himself even to the death on the cross. In God’s appreciation, He exalted Christ as the Lord, “to the glory of God the Father”. Read Philippians 2: 6-11. God’s promise is ever sure and His will is most favourable and takes precedence over any other thing. He is only the perfect Being. This is why the scripture has it that:

“Except the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain, that build it; except the Lord keep the city the watchmen watches but in vain”. (Psalm 127: 1)

What have you learnt from the mistakes of others like Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, Herod and even the Soviet Union of the contemporary generation? What God has done in this generation in particular cannot be under-emphasized. His works in other generations were not as pronounced as the ones of this generation. Before now, the USSR had no regard for God, and their citizens claimed that their country was the strongest and most powerful group in the world. God overlooks their boast and gave them time to repent but they did not. Today, they have been abased and the world does not know God is responsible for the economic and political woes of the Soviet Union. America believes that what befalls USSR is their own making. But today, I want everybody to know that every happening is the exclusive responsibility of God. Once He makes any pronouncement, it must as of necessity, come to pass at the appointed time. All the frivolous requests like I want a son, cars, money, mansion, qualification, position”, etc, are baseless. If you serve God and as a result you induce Him to make a promise to you, it then means that you have gotten everything. The so- called world super powers spent their resources and time on manufacturing deadly weapons. The entire world was afraid that when these weapons would eventually be launched, the world would be brought to an abrupt end, but I always promised that despite the huge investment of unimaginable amount of money, no country would launch them. Many people scoffed My words because according to them, the possibility of the super powers not launching these deadly weapons was very remote. But the question was how could they launch it when the owner of the world has not given them approval?
I had made mention of these things in My gospel entitled, “What is Nigeria’s Ideology”? In it, I mentioned that I have set South Africa free of Apartheid. It was a matter of time. The fact that I had pronounced freedom for them, that ended their sufferings. The word ‘LET’ has never been so effective except now that the Creator has decided to make use of it again. Its first use was during creation. All pronouncements are therefore made to materialize with “LET”.
The main issue of this gospel is taken from Psalm 34: 1-end. The Lord has promised to slay the wicked and those who hate righteousness shall be desolated. If you think that your duty is to scramble for land and eliminating others to reach the top, you will definitely suffer a mysterious death. If death is the price you have to pay for your inordinate ambition.

It is often said that the children of the so- called prominent people do not turn out good in most cases. There are reasons for such a situation. A poor man cannot be scrambling for land that does not belong to him rather, it is the affluent who go about depriving the less privileged people of their legitimate property. But it should be borne in mind that the riches acquired by foul means do not last.
Anybody who inherits evil becomes an evil person and anyone who is groomed in righteousness becomes a righteous person. If you are bad, then your children will definitely turn out bad. Take King Saul for instance. His two sons both perished in the war between Israel and the Philistine and their father Saul died as a result of the sad news. That marked the end of Saul. Recall Prophet Eli and his two sons. Though Eli would have been succeeded by one of his sons when he died, God has a way of doing His things. God decided to pass through Hannah and brought forth Samuel, the child of promise who was favoured by God to succeed Eli. Eli only regarded Samuel who was taken to him by his mother as a tithe and not as a threat to his throne. He did not have the slightest idea that Samuel would succeed him. It was the will of God for Eli’s reign to end with him by eliminating his sons who were the possible heirs to his throne. They were both killed in the war front because Samuel was destined to succeed Eli.
I am warning you emphatically to fear the Lord for there is a price for those who do not fear Him. God can do anything, anytime without your consent and nobody can counter His decision. You have a duty to perform and that is to spread the gospel of God to all the nooks and cranny of the world. You must do it willingly because it was written about you. If you refuse to do what God assigns to you, you must get ready to face His wrath. The punishment may extend to your offspring.

THE FALL OF ISRAEL
Take the case of Israel into consideration and learn from it. Before now, Israel had been God’s chosen people, but because of disobedience, they have now become a laughing stock in the world today. They now engage in wars here and there, losing millions of people. What now remains of the Israelites is what should best be described as refugees. In the whole world, no king was ranked higher than the king of Israel i.e. King Solomon. But because of the adultery and idolatry, he went contrary to God’s ways. This led to the fall of Israel, which hitherto had dominated the world history but today, it has fallen to rise no more.
Israel, which was a renowned race, has almost completely gone out of the list of high-ranking nations. The Roman Empire has almost completely wiped them out of the promised- land. If they had strictly adhered to the words of God, their Creator, Israel would have been the Kingdom of God by now. What is the position of Israel today with threats by other nations and of people? Their disobedience is the cause of all these troubles. If they had obeyed God, they would not have had any trouble. If God stands by you there is no man who can challenge you and go scot-free.
Seventy years after the death of Christ, the Roman Empire killed Israelites leaving only seventy thousand people and forced them out of their land. They are now living on charity from advanced nations. If you care for anything good to come your way, you have to honor God. The Americans you are hearing about today are Britons who decided to look for a new place to settle and when they discovered that parcel of land, they decided to settle there. The present land occupied by the Americans belongs to Indians. Why they survive till today is that, most of them have accepted to serve God. You can know this when you take into account the number of churches that have their Headquarters there. It is only five hundred years now since British nationals occupied that land. This explains why war broke out when British nationals wanted to leave Britain for the new world – but for the fact that God stood by them because God knew that these sets of people would serve Him in future in the new land. It is not only the Britons alone who dwell there. Africans too are living there and they are the ones referred to as the black Americans. The blessings of this land knew no bounds when they accepted Brotherhood of the Cross and Star with open hands.

This “new- world” does not scoff with God. Many impostors have gone to America to deceive the people that they are gods so as to get houses, cars, aircraft etc by false pretence. This is only possible in America for the people want God by all means. This consciousness is the source of their rapid pace of development, technologically and economically. They lead the world now. America knows and values God more than any other country of the world. Before their Senate starts a session, the Senators have to commit the day’s business into God’s hands. They seek for God’s leadership in everything they do. But here, you are still pouring libation.

May My Peace and Blessings be with the entire world. Amen.

Thank You Good Father

THE EVERLASTING BIBLE LECTURE DELIVERED BY THE HOLY FATHER,
THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER AND THE SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD
LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU.

MAN AND THE UNIVERSE

TEXT: Genesis 1:1-31

In this generation, the Holy Spirit is personified. His Mission on earth is to return man to his original position in the Garden of Eden.
From the beginning of things, it was not God’s intention that man should kill any animal and eat as food. From the foundation of the world, God has not decreed that man should eat meat, fish, or bird. Man was only given seeds and fruits as food. But by transcending the ancient landmark, man has now disobeyed the ordinances of God. Upon his aspiration to know all mysteries of life and to acquire all the wisdom of the world, man is still ignorant. Human beings are blind and deaf in spite of their various academic attainments and mundane discoveries.
I want to reveal to you that there is no other thing in existence apart from the word, which is God. Genesis chapter 1:1-31 tells us that God created Heaven and Earth. He had no deputy in carrying out these activities.

ANIMALS, BIRDS, WATER, FISHES ETC., ARE ANGELS AND GODS.
He created everything in the universe; day, night, fishes, birds, animals, trees, sun, moon, stars, fruits and other things. Now that you walk on the ground what do you think the earth is made of? It is the word. Who is the word? The word is God. Therefore earth, water, sun, etc are the words which are invariably Gods. In short, God’s creations are God Himself.
When you hear that God is omnipresent, it means He is in each of His creations. Hitherto, when you were not led to this wisdom of the truth, you were superstitious and call other animals, juju, identify snake as Satan, and some big trees in the forest you named totems. The likeness of God is in each of His creations. It is said man know thyself and thou shall know all things. The leaf that you pluck is spirit and since the spirit is God, the leaf is God. If you know yourself, you will never pluck the leaf of a tree. The spirit is the word and the word is life.
The creations of God had been in existence from the foundation of the world. All the images you see in the dreams represent the actual object in the terrestrial plane. When you hear that God delegated power to man, to govern and rule over other creations, it is God himself who rules through man. Man is only a figurehead. The main difference between human beings and other creations is that man is endowed with the power of reasoning while animals and others live by instincts. If God did not rule His creations through human beings, man alone would not have had the power to control animals, such as elephants, leopards, tigers, and other dangerous animals. God made man superior to other creations of His but has the same spirit of God, which is the word.

THE COMPOSITON OF MAN
The earthly ‘house’ that a human being dwells is made of water, blood and spirit. Water occupies about three-quarters of the human body. The three elements are one. Whenever the word becomes flesh and dwells among men, he is made of the word, Holy Spirit and the Father, and the three are one. The stones, sand, wind, fire, insects and others are all gods and have ability to talk, walk, hear, and do everything as human beings. They are spirits and all of them came by the word of God. The various roots and herbs that doctors use to prepare different concoction, little does he know the spirits involved.
MAN IS THE HOUSE OF GOD WHERE ALL WHAT WE SEE IN THE DREAM DWELLS
Some times birds, or insects fly across somebody’s head and that person dies at the same time. You may in ignorance, attribute the cause of his death to juju or that the bird was sent by another person to kill that fellow. It was not sent by anybody, birds and insects are angels of God and capable of executing punishments upon evil doers. Sometimes, you may pray over ordinary water drawn from the tap and give it to a sick person to drink and he becomes well immediately. Do you know who is in the water that heals a sick person? He is Our Lord Jesus Christ.
When you walk barefoot on the ground, the vibration of the earth under your feet heals all your sicknesses and solves all your problems.
All these illustrations prove to you that God is in all things and that He is the only one existing in diverse forms. There is nothing that exists in the earth that did not first exist in the spirit world. All the designs for airplanes, cars, buildings, radios and others existed in spirit before they are manifested in the flesh. Nebuchadnezzar had a dream and saw golden images. When he woke up, he assembled all his wise men; astrologers, magicians and soothsayers but they could not give the correct interpretation of the dream. He then threatened to kill them if they fail to interpret the dream.
Daniel came up and gave the correct interpretation of the dream. The golden image is what the Roman Catholic Church worships today when the bell tolls by 6 a.m., 12 noon, and 6 p.m. and members fall down to pray and make the sign of the cross on their foreheads.

MAN
Man is the house of God and inside him you have, water, trees, fishes, fire, birds, snakes, tigers, elephants, houses, women, sun, moon, Abraham, Moses, Elijah, John the Baptist, and Our Lord Jesus Christ. All the creations of God are found inside a human being. That is why sometimes, some of those things come out of human. Therefore it is quite wrong for one to say, I do this or that, but always say we do this and that because you are a house that contains all God’s creations.
LEADER O.O. OBU DOES ALL THINGS THROUGH THE SPOKEN WORDS
When you are travelling on a long journey and you are thirsty, just say within you, I want water, and the water in you will form a stream. You will not travel up to two poles before you see a body of water. That water came out of you. This is the reason when you come before me, I always tell you go, I have given you cheque, promotion, children, wife, husband, house, work, you are free from your case in the court. Go your sickness is cured. Why do you always doubt me? What ever I say must come to pass.
When Our Lord Jesus Christ was on earth in His first advent, what did he use in healing and all the mighty works He performed? It was only the spoken word. What did God use in creating the universe? The spoken word. Then why do you doubt what you see in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star where words alone are used to accomplish all mighty works which shake the world to its foundation.

THE HOLY FATHER IS OMNIPRESENT
As you sit down now, America, Britain, India, Germany and indeed, the whole world is within you. Do you have this wisdom? The whole world is in need of this revelation. As I am standing here with you in the flesh, I am also seen lavishly in flesh all over the entire world at the same time. Does this mean that I am alone? As I am lecturing you now physically, I am giving this lecture in all planes, in Hades and both the living and the dead have received this lecture equally as you have received. I am standing on the highest heaven giving this lecture to all of you. Sometimes in your dreams you see houses, motor cars lorries, fire, snakes, wind and other things, whatever you see in you dream is living inside you. You all are gods. Read St John 10:34-35.

THERE IS NO DEATH
What you call death is terminologically inexact. Nobody dies but only translated or transferred. Take for an instance, a snail that abandons its old shell and later on takes over a new shell. Another snail can occupy the abandoned shell. Therefore you cannot call an empty shell a snail, because the spirit is not there. The owner left the house and dwelt somewhere else. So it is with human beings. When the spirit moves out of the mud building, it dwells somewhere else. God is a mystery and nobody can understand the works of His creation. Man can become a fish, stone, elephant birds, tree, and later on can change to human form again. As we all are congregating here in the Bible Class, we are walking somewhere else in the flesh.
It is the Father alone who knows the secret of His Kingdom. As we are sitting down here, we all can disappear and change our form to something else. People of the world sometimes confront you with the question that your Leader does not travel outside; He is stationary. There is no need of my going out since I know that I am omnipresent. That is why you all see me in your different houses, farms, offices, physically and spiritually. Wherever Brotherhood of the Cross and Star children are, whether they are as many as the seashore, I am always before and behind all of them at the same time. I am not only in your houses and offices and in the flesh but I dwell also inside all of you.

ANY CREATION OF GOD HAS ITS SPECIFIC ASSIGNMENT
God has a reason for creating all the things you find on earth and each of them has its duty. The leaves, roots, bark of trees, sand; water, air, soil and other things have their distinct duties. Day and night have their purposes. When a juju doctor plucks a leaf for use, does God reveal to him the duty of that leaf? (John 3:11-12)
When people claim that they go to the cemetery to invoke the ghost to appear, it is a lie, that spirit comes out from him. That is why when Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members come to your house to pray and call upon my name, I will come out from them in the flesh and they always see me. There is no need while praying to face the East, or West, or South or North. God is every where. The earth is His footstool and heaven is the throne of God. What type of house can you build for God? (Acts 7:47-50). Who created the night and the day? It is God. Who created the whites and the blacks? It is the same God. Why should the white influence you with their colour? Who is able among you to describe to me exactly who you are? When you prayed over some body, he is not healed it means your words have no power of healing. And if you preach to somebody and the words pierce into his heart, he will repent and give testimony of the wonderful gospel. The words that you speak are not your own, there is somebody inside you speaking through you. You are only transmitting what He says. Do you know that invisible person who speaks through you?

MAN EXISTED BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD
Man was already in existence before the foundation of this world was laid, that was why God said, “let us make man in our own image”. It is only the framework that God created at the Garden of Eden but the spirit was already in existence. The only advantage human beings have over the animals is that God created them in His own image and appointed them overseers of other creations, otherwise, the trees, animals, fire, wind, birds etc would have challenged human beings. The trees, birds, water, sand, wind, insects, ground, all speak exactly like humans. They have water and blood like you. There is a certain tree you touch or try to cut down and you die at the spot because it is an Angel. Sometimes in your dreams you find your self-flying like airplane or dive inside water.
God has different forms when He comes into the earth plane. He wears a human form in the midst of men. When He is among the trees, He becomes a big tree. When He is among the fishes, He is also a fish. When He is among the flies, He is as a fly. When He goes into the world of birds, stars, leaves, roots, water, wind, grass and other creations, He becomes like one of their kind.
Many people say that Adam was God but I tell you if Adam were to be God why did he die? Brethren, God makes and unmakes, there is no person to challenge His authority. When He opens anything, there is no human or angel to close it and what He closes no one can open. He makes all things new and new things (become) old. (Romans 9:20-21). The trees and leaves have their special reasons to be used. Now if you do not know the reason and the function of a leaf or root and you make use of it, you can kill yourself. If we do not use leaves and roots for the purpose God created them, they become poisonous. The problem in the entire world and Brotherhood is ignorance of this fact.

GOD HAS NO ORIGIN
Now who can tell me the origin of God? From where did He come? The Bible says in the beginning God created heaven and earth, but does not describe the position God stood when He created all those things. Whether God is a white man, black man or woman, the Holy Bible does not tell us. (John1: 1-5). The image of God is the word. Speak to the stones, trees, flowers, grass, animals, whether they will answer you. Goats only have instincts but do not know how to receive the word of God. Because he will realize his nakedness that he has not yet started his journey along the road of practical Christianity.
When you are there in the world, you claim to know God much, but on getting here you will realize that you made a mistake. As a student goes to school every school day, so he receives lessons and becomes charged with knowledge, as you stayed away from school, so you are starved of knowledge, and knowledge is concealed from you. That is why the Ethiopian eunuch answered Philip when he asked him, “understandeth thou what thou readest?” “How can I, except some man should guide me?” you can read the Holy Scripture from Genesis to Revelation without comprehending anything, unless you are taught, you will always grope in the dark.

WHY PEOPLE ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT BROTHERHOOD
The seal has been loosened and that is what you are witnessing today. People now contend that ours is no longer the business of God. And I ask, what is it then? These things revealed to you cause people to argue that there exist some secret doctrines in Brotherhood and that Brotherhood is a secret society perpetuating mysticism. They believe that there are other secret books in Brotherhood and that there are some underlying mysterious things in this Kingdom. They pose many questions to you: why you go about bare foot? Why you do not drink, and many other abstinence? Do you know why they are turning round to the cause of your ways of life? What did God tell Moses? He ordered Moses to take off his shoes from his feet because the place he stood was a holy place. Does it follow that they in the world have not read that portion of the scripture? He also said “they, which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of resurrection.

DO NOT DRINK
God said unto Aaron: “Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation lest ye die: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations”. You are not to drink any thing of whatever brand and that is an eternal injunction. You are instructed not to touch the dead, nor to weep when your father, mother, relatives go on transfer, nor to defile your self because you have separated your self to God. Have the inhabitants of the world realized the truth? Instead they continue raining questions to you concerning one issue or the other. They are not the chosen children of God. Therefore be not disturbed when the children of the world do not come here. Because all the children of God throughout the world hear my voice and I know them, and they follow me.

I ONLY PREACH ABOUT GOD
From January to December each year, do you hear me preach about Olumba Olumba Obu? I do not preach about man, I do not preach about angels. I do not preach about tree or money, but I preach about God, and about the word of God. Therefore the children of God hear and practice the word of God. They know precisely what really is the word of God and they follow him. And He knows them by name. God knows all the children of God. He has no dealing with the children of perdition. Thus, you should not struggle for position. Do not seek to be a prophet. Do not seek to be an evangelist. Do not wish to be a chorister. For here is not a place to fight over positions. Because everything is bestowed unto you from heaven. Wherever you find your self, God knows about it, if you are His child. But if you are not His flock, He does not know you. In this Kingdom, we have no new or old members neither are there men, women or children, but all are children of God.

THE RISE OF ANTI-CHRIST
All those who are the children of God speak nothing but the word of God. They see God and submit themselves unto God. They also serve God in various capacities. That is why the Holy Scripture has said, “it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; where by we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us; but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us”.

WHAT WILL YOU PREACH TO BROTHERHOOD
When you hear that somebody has come into Brotherhood, have patience with that person because nobody comes in or go out of Brotherhood, for all are Brotherhood. Now is the era for the unfolding of the glory of Jehovah God and His Christ. That is why when one attempts to go to preach the word of God to Brotherhood members, he would be advised to retrace his steps because it is impossible to remove a Brotherhood member from this fold. For what is he going to preach to a Brotherhood member? Immediately somebody, who preaches the word of God realizes that you are a Brotherhood, he will take up his Holy Bible and go home. What can you preach to a Brotherhood?

ACCORD HONOUR TO WHOM HONOUR IS DUE
They make one sad mistake; they say you are worshiping a human being. At the same time, they profess that Brotherhood members do not accord any recognition to any person not withstanding his station in life. If it holds water that you are worshipping a human being, why have you failed to worship them? Are they not human beings? Can you see how they have implicated themselves? They say that even if one is a governor or highly esteemed person, Brotherhood members will not accord them any respect. But as for their Leader, they bow-down to worship Him. Is their Leader not human being? Are they themselves not human beings? Why have you not worshipped them?
It is this statement by Our Lord Jesus Christ, which settles the dust: “My sheep hear my voice and I know them, and they follow me.” Consider the enticements given you to withdraw from Brotherhood, but all to no avail. The entire family members will meet and promise to offer you an airplane, and to do anything to you in a bid to force you to withdraw from this fold. The entire church members will come and weep over your newfound faith in Brotherhood. But with no kobo, you will laugh over the issue. You will not lend ears to such overtures because you are a sheep of God and a child of God.

THE WORLD’S INDUCEMENTS YIELD NO FRUITS
They claim that the Father is a false god. They attempt to reduce Him to nothing but to no avail. They will tell you that your sickness is still not healed and you have no child, besides, you are impoverished. On these grounds, you should decamp to their church in order to reverse the ugly trend. But all such insinuations are always dashed to the rocks.
A man will threaten his wife that if she does not deny the Father, the marriage will stand divorced and with immense joy, the woman will pack her things from his house leaving him surprised. In the office, if the appointment of Brotherhood member is terminated, he is filled with joy and will give thanks to the Father for removing him from work. People around him will be perplexed at his action. Their conclusion is always that I have bewitched you. But is their witchcraft a weak type?

LEARN FROM THE WISE MEN
Hitherto, if you had entertained any doubt in mind, know today that, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” They will inquire about all that you have into the services of God, or what have you gained from Brotherhood. Take the four wise men as a case in point. Of all what they did to Our Lord Jesus Christ, what reciprocal gesture did He do unto them? They presented those gifts to Him because they knew and followed Him. All of them worshipped God, and they were wealthy. Just on seeing the star, they came from the East and worshipped Him because they were the children of God. It is incumbent on each of you to rejoice because you have been identified as the real children of God. Do not doubt any longer if you had done so in the past. All Brotherhood, the world over are the children of God. And they are adopted children. They are not prophets, pastors or what have you but the legitimate children of God, the heirs of the Kingdom of God.

Brethren, it is said that one stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. I do not want to belabor you, those who have ears, let them hear.
May God bless His Holy words.

Thank you Father.

“MY WORDS; YOUR WATCH-WORDS”

A Farewell Message To The Universe

SPIRITUAL FOOD: ST. JOHN 12: 40-50.
He have blinded their eyes and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should healed them. These things said a Esaias, when he saw his glory and spake of him. Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: for the love the praise of men more than the praise of God. Jesus cried and said, he that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that seeth me seeth he that sent me. I am come a light into the world, that who so ever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejected me, and recieveth not my word, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of my self; but the father, which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the father said unto me, so I speak.

SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS AND ITS ADVERSITIES

Beloved, that is the farewell message. It is the spiritual food that will suffice you till eternity and you would no longer need any other preachment. Though blindness is said to be a bad sickness, spiritual blindness is the worst. Why the world is in this deplorable state is because of her spiritual blindness. You have heard Christ said thus: ‘I did not come to judge you but to save you’. I do not want money from you neither do I need your wisdom, praises nor recognition. The truth is that if I did not come, the world would have perished completely. And with My coming, I have transformed you from depravity to eternal life. My words are such that when you put them into practice they give you eternal life. To this end, you need to imbibe all My words and practice them. My words should be your watch- words at all times. From today it is expected that you all love Me and My words because these constitute the sure way to salvation. Practice My words immediately without depreciation for they constitute eternal life. If the world had loved Christ and His words, by now everything would have been streamlined.

Even the Israelites, had they accepted Christ and His teachings? If they had accepted Christ, they would have obtained salvation from Him. After all it is said, “light attracts light”. As I have come if there was even one person who possessed love, everything would have been streamlined in the whole world. I do not need a multitude of people to work with; just one is enough for Me to use in salvaging the entire community. John the Baptist bore testimony about Christ but our Lord Jesus Christ bore testimony about My coming into the world that is why He enjoined you to have love. What have hitherto tied you down is your lack of love, nobody in the whole world has love that is why the spiritual food has it that God has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts so that they will not repent. Everything has been fulfilled as spoken by Christ. Today I want to assure you that there is no more spiritual blindness and deafness. Those who were hitherto blinded spiritually, their spiritual eyes have been opened and those who were deaf have equally been made to hear so that you will be able to appreciate this love so that all may be well with you.

AN ILLUSTRATION

I have given you an illustration about a man, his children and the eaglet. The man caught the eaglet, tended it and had it to be among his children. Then came a trader who saw the eaglet among the chicken and said to the man, ‘that is an eaglet’ but the man denied and said it was an ordinary chick. But the trader insisted saying he recognises the eaglet. And so the trader turned to the eaglet and said you are eaglet, the king of the birds, you need to go up high in the heaven and what are you doing here among the chicken? Then the trader asked the owner to throw the eaglet into the air to set it free and let it be at liberty. The owner laughed and said he will not be able to accomplish that, and so he handed over the eaglet to the trader to try what he requested. The trader abandoned his luggage and picked up the eaglet and said, though eaglet you are the king of the birds, your abode is above’. And thereafter, he let the eaglet off and it jumped down and perched again on the ground. The owner was laughing at the trader because he thought the eaglet could not go up again. The trader repeated his feat the next day and told the eaglet that you are the king of all birds, including the fowls of the earth and when let go the eaglet it went back to the ground. Realise that six days are for the thief while one day is for the owner. The trader went on with this exercise for some days and on one fateful day, as he was saying everything and letting the eaglet down as in other days, it flew off into the air and never returned to the earth.

GOD’S MOST TREASURED ASSET

The above illustration refers to the children of God. God does not have any other thing apart from man but now you do not regard man as anything, hence, you kill man, and eat as food, insult man and treat him with all amount of disdain. As I watch the way you treat your fellowman, My eyes are filled with tears, if you will allow the light of God to shine on you, then your eyes will be opened. I need one person who will practice the injunction of love so as to work with him to perfect everything in the whole world. Man is the treasure of God but the way you treat your fellow human being is very pathetic. I am looking forward to seeing the day the scales will fall off your eyes, so that you will fully appreciate My teachings so that all will be well with you. Have you bought any idea from the point so far made? Read Hebrew 1: 1-6:

The Father has opened your eyes and ears and as well broadened your intellects for you to be able to practice His words. You will no more be foolish because up till now you were deaf and blind as a result of focusing all your concentration on he earthly things. This great light was hidden from all the inhabitants of the world. Who is man that all the angels have been commanded to worship him? All the angels are under his superintendent. Angels are messengers of God and not his children; as such they have to minister to man who is His son. All the hosts of heaven comprise angels, death, sickness, wind, sun and everything is under the supremacy of man who is the only begotten Son of God. Read Hebrews 2: 1-10. Read Hebrews 3: 1-6. Read again Hebrews 4: 4-10.

THE EFFICACY OF THE SPOKEN WORD

As you are, do you know that just one spoken work from Me can stop all the things you are doing here which are inimical to the Holy Spirit? At No. 8 Eton Street, Calabar, because of the rate at which members were committing fornication, I declared that right from that day anyone who indulged in fornication would see what would happen. A sister who went and indulged in the said act died on the spot, and the man ran away. The members all came and appealed to Me to repeal the statement and so I accepted and told them to limit the rate of fornication. Even now if you cause Me to make any pronouncements you will see what will happen. All these little sins you are committing now only one spoken work by Me will just take them away completely. Do you hear Me speak on all these things you have been committing? You regard Me as a periwinkle, which you can pick up easily. You even regard Me as your equal. You do not have any fear of God because of the love I have for you. Just one spoken word will stop all these things. If you say something should happen and I say no, can such a thing happen? If I say man should stop to exist, he will not exist any more. As you regard Me as your mate, do you know the Being in your midst? Do you think I am of this world, do you see anything in Me which is a replica of yours? Why are you so stubborn? Do you want to be damned? A local adage has it that you cannot splash water on your enemies. Right now if I issue orders that action should be taken against offenders same shall be effected. Even the animals are on the alert; they have dangerous swords ready to carry out My orders.

In 1974, during August Pentecostal Assembly like this, because of your deeds, I decided to show you the judgement equipment. When I showed the said things to you, what happened in this house? I only showed the equipment not judging the world and you saw what happened. I had intended to display them for three days, but pity made Me to take them back. Darkness engulfed the whole place. Vision was even given that if the sword were taken out of the shear, something disastrous would have happened. Now, who would have been left in the entire world? You do not believe in God and do not want to stop committing sins. What do you think I came to do apart from to judge the world? I have to start the judgement with you. Therefore, brethren, practice the word of God because the time is up otherwise, you will perish. No one ever confronts God and goes home scot-free. Many people are ready to inherit this Kingdom, this I know. You have been made clean from the spoken words even as you are here.

THE DIVINE ORDER

The book “THE WITNESS’ is the revelation of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. And all the money realised from the launching of that book should be used in printing more copies and it should be distributed all over the world. This book should equally be translated into different languages and distributed to all and sundry to read. This is the first time a book has been published in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and brought before Me before being sent out. Before now the practice was that once a book is produced it is introduced into the market for sale. But this very book has taken a very different dimension. It was published by an individual at the cost of N90, 000 (ninety thousand naira). Any good thing someone does here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star try to emulate it because “light has to attract light”. And from today anything I say and you never dare to do it, it will be consequential to you. Endeavour to practice all the teachings you are given here and stop doing things on your own because anything which you do without having clearance from Me, you will have yourself to blame. Even now if you want to go to anywhere, if I do not give you the go-ahead order, you will surely meet with failure. Even when you go to eat the food I tell you not to eat, do you derive any benefit?

And when you fail to heed My instructions, do you think you have obeyed God? You have to be mindful of the spoken words of God because they are of significance. Watch all My pronouncements for they must all be consumed. The time is nigh for everything to be accomplished but things are still stagnant because I have not issued orders. That is why, from today you have to abide by all My words so that you will be saved. It is said that ‘today when you hear His voice do not harden your hearts’. You are told not to eat fish and meat, not to be angry, steal and commit fornication. Love one another and stop behaving unseemingly because all unseeming things incur the wrath of God on you.

This is when the key to your salvation has arrived, even if you want to go to the moon to do anything, if I do not consent to it you will crash land. Anything you want to do behind Me is bound to meet with failure, therefore from today abide by My instructions so that you will not perish. I know all your problems and I am gradually taking them away. There is a saying: Rome was not built in a day’. Anything I tell you to do, when you do it you will not have any problems. Stop doing things according to your dictates because this has been the source of your problems. By obeying the instructions of God you receive blessing from Him. This love I am talking about daily, do you know the benefit you will derive in putting it into practice?

THE KEY

Obedience is the key to salvation and if any of you were to be obedient to My injunctions, all would have been well with you. Do not do anything according to your heart’s desire because your heart will only end up misleading you but only abide by God’s injunctions. When Adam had eaten the forbidden fruit and Eve gave birth to the twins, Adam did not want to meet her again and so he went up the roof. Satan came and called Adam and he did not answer but when God called him, he answered. And when God asked what he was doing on top of the roof he said he was avoiding meeting the woman who was with him. So God asked Adam why he did not request for the desire to be taken away from him, so when Adam requested for it, God granted it to him. From that day they stayed as brother and sister in the house, so also it is with you here. Anything you do not want which is troubling you put the request before Me, and it will be taken away from you forthwith. It is not My intention to take anything away from you forcefully but when you are fed up with anything, then communicate with the Father and He will grant your request. Why I do not take away these things forcefully, is that it will result into some other thing.

God has time for everything. When you request Me to make pronouncement so as to accomplish a particular thing, when it is not yet time, I will not speak the word. When you are told to forsake sins do not harden your heart. If you fail to abide by all that I have taught you, then you will be known as a rebel. When you are told to walk in spirit it means you should abide in God’s instructions. Brother Essien Umo on coming here to read the Bible, started searching his bag for his eyeglasses and so I shunned him and told him to go on reading the Bible without the lenses and since that time did he not see clearly. Is he still using the lenses? No matter how thin the letters are he sees them clearly now, so also it was with Brother S.I.U. Etuk, and M. Akwang. Your main sickness is because you do not believe in God; right from the day you believe in God, all your problems will be taken away from you. Nothing is impossible with God, your coming in here everyday is not of benefit to you as long as you do not believe in God. Right from now, abide by the instructions of God. The overseas brethren have faith in God; hence, they often preach and practice what the Father delivers. Those of you who come in here do not practice the words of God and all what the Father is saying. None of you have complied and when someone reminds you of any injunctions of the Father, you will claim to have known all. You have the publications of the Father’s gospels, read them. Anything you are enjoined to forbid, the same must you forbid. This is My injunction for you today. All those who come in here to request for blessings, that time is gone. We are no more in the infant stage all have already been blessed. The moment I say go all is well, it is so accomplished, just as the flesh is leading you that is why you have been given this little message.

May My peace and blessing abide with the entire universe now and forever more. Amen.

ONE GOVERNMEMT ONE CURRENCY

First Lesson Matthew 6: 9-10
“After this manner therefore pray ye; our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

Second Lesson Revelation 21: 1-3
“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.”

Golden Text Matthew 21: 33-43
“Hear another parable; there was a certain household, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husband men, that they received the fruit of it. And the husbandmen took the servants and beat one, and killed another, and stoned other. Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
When the Lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruit in their seasons. Jesus saith unto them, did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builder rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Therefore, say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.”

THE PROPHECY OF CHRIST FULFILLED
Beloved, this gospel is a discourse on the fulfilment of the words spoken by Our Lord Jesus Christ many years ago. This is by way of reminding the entire world and declaring as a witness, the manifestation of the portions of the scripture.
The salient questions arising from the parable in the golden text are who were the husbandmen, the farmers? Who cultivated the soil and fenced the farm? Is the farmer not the householder who fenced round his farm? Who also sent out the servants to carry out the harvest? Who sent the prophets and angels, who were beaten, chased out of the farm and even killed? Was it not the owner of the farm who sent in messengers to work for him? The first group, were victimised and so were the next. Finally, He sent His only begotten son who was equally maltreated and killed. Even when the Lord told them that He was sent by His Father, the people did not believe Him. God sent down His begotten son, in the belief that the husbandmen would recognise and respect Him, yet they did not:
But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, they will reverence my son, they said among themselves this is the heir; come let us kill him and let us seize on his inheritance.

THE LORD OF HARVEST
Who was that son? Was he not our Lord Jesus Christ? Who sent Him? Was it not God, the Father?
Why did He send Him? The answer is found in His statement, which He said, “…they will reverence my Son…” For what reason did the husbandmen chase away the heir?
Their ambition was to claim the vineyard. Who do you think God should have sent after such torture, humiliation and even further threats? A local adage says, when the battle is fierce, the King takes over the command. There lies the answer. This means that the King himself has now taken over the command having seen that the battle is really fierce. He is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces. He has come by Himself.

Now is not the time for anybody to ascribe the glory and praises of God to any human being present or past. It is an act of foolishness for a man to thank Olumba Olumba Obu, Joseph, Moses, or indeed any of the prophets of old for anything. What were the prophets of old to do? Recall the question our Lord Jesus Christ asked His disciples after the parable. He asked them, when the Lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? The disciples in one accord replied that He, the owner of the vineyard would miserably destroy those wicked men, and would take away his vineyard from these wicked men and entrust it to other servants who would accurately render the farm yields to him in their seasons. That is exactly what is happening now on earth.
Which other person or being is capable of destroying this earth and re-organising or reconstructing it than the creator Himself.
CHORUS: “I have come by myself, sending no one. I will reveal myself to the world. I have not come to die again as people think. My people sing and rejoice, for I, the Lord have assumed glory.”

AN EVERLASTING REIGNING MONARCH
Beloved, this gospel centres on the fact that this is the reign and glory of the Holy Spirit. Give not this glory to any man or angel but to the owner, God, the Father who has come by Himself, sending no one. He would not have repeated the same mistake over and over again, sending messengers only to be chased and killed. This explains the reason why He has come by Himself. We should, therefore give Him His due glory and honour. We should call a spade a spade.

A TIME FOR GOD’S CHILDREN TO HARVEST FREELY
All along people have been calling Jesus, Jesus repeatedly, yet violence, hunger, diseases and death have not ceased. Our Lord Jesus came and was arrested by the same husbandmen and nailed to the cross. Our Lord Jesus Christ asked His disciples what the Lord of the vineyard would do to those husbandmen when He comes. By this question, the Lord was invariably informing the world of the coming of the Father who Himself is the Lord of the vineyard.

LEAVE VENGEANCE TO THE LORD
Christ once said that even though God may be slow in His response, yet He never forgets. Therefore, He has this day, hearkened to the prayers of His faithful ones. In another instance also, Our Lord Jesus Christ prayed the Father to let His kingdom come… (MATTHEW 6: 10). This is the exact time He pre-arranged to avenge for His children. This is the reason why Christ advised us to leave vengeance to God. Thus, He advised that if you are slapped on the right cheek, you should turn the left one for the same purpose. He also advised that if a man wants your inner wear, you should give him also your cloak, and if should desire that you go a mile with him, go two instead. By so doing, the Father will not fail to give vengeance, despite His longsuffering.

ON EVIL DEEDS
God made it categorically clear that no evildoer will be saved. This explains why He teaches us to refrain from stealing, killing, idolatry, fornication, hatred, division, and falsehood and from all ungodly acts.

ON TITHE PAYING
He has rather advised that we should be meek, prompt in tithe payments, kind, and obedient. He has promised to take vengeance on your behalf and to destroy the husbandmen and their likes.

ON OATH TAKING
He has warned you against swearing neither upon the heaven, for it is His throne nor upon the earth for it is His footstool. No man should swear even upon Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Let your Yes be Yes and your No, No. Anything short of this, the Lord says, it comes from the wicked one. Today, even Christians; swear upon the name of God as a matter of routine.

TOTAL POWER OF THE FATHER
Pilate put our Lord Jesus Christ in the dock and asked Him several questions, but He never responded at all. Out of anger, Pilate asked Christ whether He did not know that he had power to either release or condemn Him? What was Christ’s reply? Christ told Pilate that if His Father did not give him the power from above, he would do nothing. By that statement, Our Lord Jesus Christ bore eloquent testimony about the power of the Father. But today, whom do people testify about? On what do you base your testimony? The Father has come by Himself. Our Lord Jesus Christ did not relent in calling on the Father. Always, He would mention the Father either at the beginning of His statement or at the end. He made sure He glorified His Father and attributed everything to Him.

WATCH AND PRAY
It is said that if the housemaid were to know at what hour the thief would come, he would have kept watch. This means that you have to keep watch at all times in the morning, afternoon, evening, night and midnight. Who in the world is aware of the arrival of the Father as promised? The same God who sent Elijah of old, and other prophets of old, who created heaven and earth and the fullness therein, He who sent our Lord Jesus Christ is now here on earth.

THE CREATION OF HEAVEN AND EARTH
Is there anyone, who knows this fact? Do the rogues, drunkards, smokers, murderers, idolaters, the unfaithful and unbelievers know this? He has come to straighten all the crooked paths and put things aright.

CHRIST SAID:
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away. For if I go not away: the Comforter will not come unto you, but if I depart I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement. Of sin because they believe not on me: of righteousness because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more: of judgement, because the prince of this world is judged JOHN 16: 7-11.

THE TIME OF JUDGEMENT
Now is that time of judgement. He has come to address all the wrongs, perpetrated by men. Our Lord Jesus Christ explained to the people that His Father sent him but they did not believe Him. The Jews contended that it was written in their laws that the genealogy of the Messiah could not be traced. Here was a man whose parents were not only known but was assessed and found to belong to the lowest class in their society. For that reason, none then, and even now, believed in the Lord and His words. Phillip, one off the disciples, also demonstrated this act of unfaithfulness when he sought the Lord to show them the Father who He so frequently mentioned and they would be satisfied. That was when the Father came through the Son. Now, He has personally come down, using no intermediary. But who knows Him.

MAGNIFY HIS NAME
Our duty is to glorify Him, be of good conduct, and refrain from all sinful acts. Disputers of the word of God should refrain from unnecessary argument and behave well, because this is the judgement time for all. Evildoers should pray fervently for themselves. Now is not the time to continue to pray God to give you money, food, husband, wife, children and other material things. We should rather be relentless in thanking Him and praising His name, for His Kingdom is here. The kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdom of Jehovah God and His Christ and He shall reign forever and ever. This forms the good news of great joy.

HE HAS COME
He has come in His power, might and wisdom. None should feel proud of his or her material wealth and knowledge for these are nothing in the sight of God. After all, is He not the creator and owner of all things that man claims to own? He is the Lord and King of wisdom, power, health, wealth, and all things. Ours is to bow to Him, sing to His praises, glorify His name and call upon Him every time. Whether in bed, at table, on the road, in your conversations, in and out of season, we are to praise Him at all times. In times of joy and trouble, continue to call upon His name. It is blasphemous for anybody to arrogate to himself the ability to see visions, heal or do anything. It is an offence of a gross proportion for any person to trade on visions, prayer or any service in this kingdom. Members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star are the more guilty in this wise. Who on earth has power to do anything? It is God who has healed a person or opened your eyes to see visions. These visionaries and so-called healers are so faithless and full of unbelief that if left on their own; they cannot move a fly.

MAN IS EMPTY AND VOID
It is really funny to watch a man testifying how he has healed diverse illnesses, prayed until the dead was raised, and has done many more wonderful things. What is man in the first place, and what does he know? The doer of all things, the beginning of all things, and the last, is here, and we should give Him glory.
In the past, man, angels and spirits were glorified but now, is the time for God to be glorified.
Let the first lesson be read once again:
First Lesson: Matthew 6: 9 – 10
“After this manner therefore pray ye; our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

TIME FOR GOD’S GLORY
We are indeed the luckiest generation to have God’s promise fulfilled in our time. We have a Father, the Father of peace, hope, mercy, truth, and all the virtues. Time has since passed and gone when people entertained various fears. There are no more sorrows and pains. Weep not child, for the Saviour is not on His way, but is already in our midst. He is the Comforter and adviser, the only way, the truth and life. Do not give God’s glory to man, who is mere mortal and incapable of doing anything.

THE ONLY RULING FORCE
Humble yourself, and do not be proud of having power or anything. Submit to Him and give Him His due glory. In the whole of Cross River State and Akwa Ibom State here in Nigeria, there is no particular people as wicked and adventurous as those of Akwa Ibom in Cross River State or Achara Okpo in Abia State. But it should interest you to know that, the Father has come into their midst and subdued them. They were at daggers drawn with each other and not even the government; State and Federal could successfully intervene in their inter-communal boundary conflict. They have now laid down their arms because they have seen this glory. The same rancour prevailed between Adim and Agwaguna in Cross River State. The squabble defied every human solution, but by celebrating a full feast, peace has been restored in their midst and they are united as one.

LISTEN TO GOD
This is not the time to establish churches, healing homes or prayer houses. Tell even the government to listen to God and obey His rules. It is time we should love one another, humble us and become merciful and meek.
We are God’s vineyard, His temple, city, kingdom and His Christ. We should rise in concert and glorify Him as Christ testified of His glory over every statement that he made. Our duty is to chorus that His words are true. None should consult his fellow man, angel or spirit for anything. There should be no ritual sacrifice of any sort and for any reason whatsoever. The father is in perfect control of all affairs. His glory He shares with only those He pleases. Go and advise all to desist from carnal thoughts. Tell the sorcerers, prostitutes, deceivers, and swindlers to refrain from such devilish acts. People who are power-thirsty and egoistic should bow down to God and give every glory to Him. The owner of heaven and earth and the fullness therein is now here on earth.
It is God’s wish that none should perish. This is why He has come by Himself. Therefore, go and inform all those who are claiming ownership of one thing or the other, to desist from such claims; tell those who struggle for land, house and positions, to stop it, for the real owner and creator of everything is here. The owner of cities, human beings, banks, governments and their agencies, children, husbands, wives, water, air, mountain, and all things has come. Our only duty is to show complete obedience and loyalty to Him. Let us all carry the banner of Christ and His truth to the entire inhabitants of the world to follow. No matter how little the service you render to God without fee, His divine blessing to you is a hundred-fold.

THE WORLD IS EMPTY AND VOID
We have no reason to consult physicians, herbalists, sorcerers, healers or soothsayers. The whole world is empty, and human beings are also blank, without any knowledge. Man’s only hope is in the Father. What is written in the book of Isaiah, Chapter two, is here fulfilled. Let us now turn away from evil and pursue peace, love, truth, and all the virtues, which form the component parts of the kingdom. He cares, teaches, and guides us all daily. No man is capable of changing, caring for or tolerating his fellow man.

A MESSAGE TO THE WORLD
His appearance now is a clear indication that His spirit flourishes the earth. He has come with his host of angels, children of God and His long-awaited Kingdom. Let us now leap for joy, and sing to His praises. Let all those who are still at war lay down their arms. Tell litigants to withdraw all their cases from the court. The judges should desist from judging others. Let all evildoers and whoremongers refrain from their evil ways. Now is the time to obey the voice of God and turn a new leaf, for destruction is at the doorstep of every man, for the destruction of disobedient people. Tell all politicians who form the habit of deceiving the people and looting the public treasury, to desist from such. Tell the troublemakers, coup plotters, usurpers of governments and all evil doers to refrain from these.

Second Lesson Revelation 21: 1-3
“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, New

Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.”
How many of those who have been reading this passage believe in what is written in it? Who in the world today believes that God is here on earth? Christ is here with us, and so is the Holy Spirit and angels. We are all God’s children and by that, His messengers and servants.
We are now in a New World. The old one has given way with its old things. Now, ask yourself why the attention of the world is focused on Nigeria in particular, and Africa in general. Has anyone read the present events in the world in books, seen in a vision or dream? He has come to reign in heaven and on earth. He is neither Olumba nor any prophet. He is not an angel either. His glory has no beginning or an end. His reign has no limit at all.

AMERICA SHOULD BE CAREFUL
Tell America that claims to be the world police, to put its sword into its place. The same warning goes to China, Spain, Britain, France and all the troublesome countries, the world over. Now is time for peace, love, truth, and glory of God. God abhors disobedience. A local adage says that, a cock that is stubborn and recalcitrant hears very clearly only in a pot of soup. No person should take vengeance. God has promised that vengeance is His, He will repay. Members of the various secret societies should resign their membership and follow God. He is with us everywhere and at all times. Our luck is so great to be called the children of God, and given the right of son-ship.

THERE WILL BE ONE CURRENCY, UNDER ONE GOVERNMENT.
Time has since passed and gone when anger, division, war, cheating, swindling, oppression and occultism, and other evil practices rule over man. There is no distinction as to colour, age, race, sex or status in life in the kingdom of God, for we are one in the Lord. This is a completely new world in which peace, love, co-operation, economic integration under one universal umbrella prevail. It is one currency under one government.
This gospel is to be disseminated to all parts of the world. He that perishes has himself to blame, as his soul shall also perish with him. No man has ever contested with the Holy Spirit. Therefore, you have to submit to Him and live in peace. Do not seek for salvation and solution to your problems from any man. Let your hope and trust is centred on your creator. Go to Him on bended knees and He would surely give you rest.
He has said that this generation will not pass away until every word that He spoke shall be made consummate. ‘This generation’, refers to this twentieth century. The end of the twentieth century will mark the end of all hostilities, diseases, illnesses and all sinful acts. Division, hunger, and all forms of problems will be over with the turn of the century.

TRANSITION PERIOD
We are now in a transitional period into oneness, unity, love, peace, and all goodness. Now is the time to get the kingdom from the disobedient and wicked (husbandmen) and give to those who keep His commandments. In this kingdom, there is no place for divided loyalty, falsehood, self-development and whatever form of projection. He has now accomplished His will.

PROPHECY OF THE THREE NUNS FULFILLED
The First World War of 1914 came with a revelation in 1917, to three Roman Catholic nuns, that the Holy Spirit shall appear in Africa. He has since taken His advent and is actively working. The Catholic Church, when it heard the revelation by the nuns, concealed it on the orders of the then Pope. Tell me for how long can the truth be concealed? Like the mustard seed, He has germinated in Africa and all the countries in the world. The inhabitants of the world have seen Him. This explains why the whites are rushing to Africa and many are tracing their roots to Nigeria.
He is a quickening Spirit.

THE END OF VICE
He said in the scripture that all those who seek to save their lives shall lose it, but those who forsake their lives for the sake of the gospel shall gain them. All those who continue to indulge in diabolism, fetish and membership in secret societies shall be destroyed.
What we are witnessing now is the dream of Nebuchadnzzar as interpreted by Daniel. It is now fulfilled. He saw many kingdoms coming and going until a particular one that was to be resolute and strong, overcoming every other kingdom. This dream is fulfilled in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. This is the kingdom established by the Father Himself. He has come now as the Holy Spirit, having been before as the Father and the Son. The triune God is here with His heavenly hosts. He has come to put an end to prejudice based on colour, language, and economic, religious, political, or social factors. That is the final prophecy of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which has equally fulfilled. This is the reason for charging that we should go into the world and make all nations His disciples. Baptising them in the Name of the Father, The Son, and the Holy Ghost, and teaching them all He has taught us, for lo’ He is with us always, even to the end of the world. See Matthew 28: 19- 20.
Read the golden text again:

Golden Text Matthew 21: 33-43
“Hear another parable; there was a certain household, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husband men, that they received the fruit of it. And the husbandmen took the servants and beat one, and killed another, and stoned other. Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
When the Lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruit in their seasons. Jesus saith unto them, did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builder rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Therefore, say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.”

A REWARD FOR THE RIGHTEOUS
Beloved brethren, all those who are kind, loving, obedient, merciful, truthful, humble, faithful and righteous shall inherit the kingdom of God. But the disobedient and faithless ones shall be damned. Remember the case of a certain widow in the Bible who attended a fund raising. While others donated in thousands, out of her generosity she donated her widow’s mite. That was the money she had, and with this action she stood distinct from every other person because of her generosity. In that congregation were chiefs, kings, millionaires, and great men, but the woman’s donation attracted a blessing. So would the so-called great men of this world, the scientists, the royal highnesses and all disobedient and faithless people be destroyed and swept off. Only the children of God shall inherit the earth.

It is said that a stroke of a cane is enough for the wise. Let he who has ears, hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the world.

May God bless His Holy Words, AMEN.

“ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN TEACH THE TRUTH”

1ST LESSON: ST. JOHN 4: 23
“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father seeketh such to worship Him”.

2ND LESSON: GALATIANS 4: 6
“And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the spirit of His son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father”.

GOLDEN TEXT: 1 JOHN 2: 27
“But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that man teach you; but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him”.

What name will you therefore give to this place? You are told that the annointment, which you have received from our Lord Jesus Christ, abides in you. As the spirit teaches you adhere to His teachings. Also, you are told, “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth, for the Father seeketh such to worship Him”.

Our second lesson tells us that ‘and because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying Abba, Father’. The golden text tells us, “But the annointment which ye have received from Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you but as the same annointment teacheth you of all thing. And is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him”.
When you call this place a prayer house, you have failed. If you call it a service center you have failed. If you also call it a church, you equally score no point. Do not depart from the Holy Spirit teachings because He dwells in your heart. There is no other name for it than the Kingdom of God. In your house, the Spirit is teaching you. When you are lying down, the spirit is in you. The Spirit walks with you. It follows that the Spirit prays, sings, dances, gives visions sees and changes us just as one of My children has rendered in a song that the Spirit does everything. Can you not see the truism? Before the manifestation of anything, such thing had already been accomplished spiritually. The song rendered is not just a song. It is the summary of the gospel you are about to receive. What we are left with is to say Amen.
Listen to the prayer offered by the Holy Spirit. He says out everything. The testimony the Holy Spirit gives lays bare everything. This is the reign of the Holy Spirit. He says out everything. What He referred to when He said, “The true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth”, is now made manifest. There is somebody whose wish was to be the first to arrive for the opening of this Pentecostal Assembly, but since the Spirit directs him elsewhere, he cannot come. Also, there are some who had doubts about coming for the opening of the Pentecostal after hanging up on a number of activities for themselves. But since the Holy Spirit leads, such people find themselves here.

The trouble with you is that you do not believe that it is the Holy Spirit that leads. You do not also know that what our Lord Jesus Christ had prophesied are all fulfilled in this generation. Is there any one of you who had not received the Holy Spirit? Is there anyone who is not led by the Spirit? Many of you complain about your inability in executing carefully documented plans. Your plans avail nothing because what the Holy Spirit had planned must be fulfilled. What do you think the spirit in you comes to do? He has come to lead. Nobody in this world has the ability to do anything any longer because it has been written that He shall lead and He has to lead forever and ever. The flesh, its lust, affections and passions had been crucified on the cross. Therefore the Holy Spirit reigns, and His reign has neither a beginning nor an end. Do not consult any person on what to do; speak to the Spirit and listen to Him and He will tell you what to do. If He tells you to move forward, do so. If He tells you to move backward, do so. If He tells you to sit down, obey. If He tells you to keep quiet, do not speak. If He tells you to shout, start shouting, and if He tells you to laugh, do so. He is now in your heart talking to you. Whatever He bids you, that must you do. If you desire to open a healing home let Him do if He names it a healing home, call that place by that name. If He opens a place and calls it a prayer house, call that place a prayer house.
Today’s teaching is very important, for all mankind. It shows us that we are the children of God, and that is why He sends the Spirit of His Son to abide in us, crying Abba, Father. Your problem is that you do not listen to the Spirit in you. If you go to do what He has not instructed you, you are in trouble because those who worship God must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. We have to follow the Spiritual instructions. To worship God in spirit and in truth means following spiritual instructions and hearkening only to what He tells you to do. Let our first lesson be read:

1st Lesson: St. John 4: 23
“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father seeketh such to worship Him”.

Brethren, have you heard what is read to you? You are that lucky generation. This explains why our Lord Jesus Christ says that heaven and earth will pass away, but the word of God shall not pass away till all are consummated. This generation has not yet passed away; the word of God shall not pass away, till all are consummated. This generation has not yet passed away, but all the things spoken of by our Lord Jesus Christ are manifested. We still have about thirteen years to complete this generation, but all that He had said are fulfilled. Many of you are worried about what to do for God. You profess that you will cook for Him, or trade for Him. What you have to do for Him is to listen to the Spirit and obey in all ways. The problem with many of you is that when the Spirit leads, someone begins to resist Him. If He cuts off your head, you have yourself to blame. I have warned you time without number that this Kingdom is not a place where one behaves, as he likes. It is not the place you have to obstruct another person from doing what the spirit directs him to do.

Brotherhood is the Kingdom of God, which you heard would come. It is said in the Lord’s prayer, ‘Let thy Kingdom come’. Here, we have the Kingdom. The flesh does not control the Spirit; it is the Spirit, which controls everything. All rulership has been given to the Holy Spirit. He has to reign forever and ever. The reason He did not do much work in the last advent is that the Spirit was not yet glorified. Why the disciples could not do much work was that the doctrine was strange to every person. What happened then was what was billed for that era. During the short period of three years, which Christ operated, it was the Spirit, which led Him in everything. That was why He told the disciples to wait at Jerusalem until they were clothed with the power from above; and when they received the power, it was the Holy Spirit, which led them.
Our Lord Jesus Christ told the Samaritan woman that ‘the time cometh when it shall neither be on this mountain nor in Jerusalem that you worship the Father, for you know not what you worship’. We worship what we know because salvation is of the Jews. Right now, all of us in this Kingdom and many people through the whole world worship God in Spirit and in Truth. They know what they worship. There is no person in Brotherhood who does not know God. And every person who worships God in Spirit and in Truth knows the true God. Many people are suffering in prisons because they do not know that it is the Holy Spirit that is working. They are in psychiatric hospitals, and where they did not expect because of their stubbornness. Brethren, this is the reign of the Holy Spirit. What pleases God most is for us to hear His voice and do whatever He tells us to do. If He tells you not to tell lies again, you must stop telling lies. If He tells you not to take medicines again, you must stop. If He says that you should not steal, nor tell lies again, you must stop forthwith. But you do not listen; and that is the source of your problems.

You are told not to commit fornication again; but you refuse. Many of you continue to eat meat. Even now, you still eat strangled meat. But the Holy Spirit has told you not to eat meat again. There is no need preaching to anyone again because the Spirit, who is in you, teaches you everything. He has shown you that lying is not good; you should not steal, tell lies, and indulge in the preparation of concoctions. The Spirit has taught you everything, but you refuse. Because of your stubbornness you have problems. Many of you have been told from your childhood that you are not of the world and that you have to serve God, but you argue; and until today you are still arguing. This accounts for the poverty you now find yourself in.
This generation is the generation of the Holy Spirit. I am telling you that if from today you submit unto the Spirit, all your problems will be over. We do not know witches, mermaid, or ghost; but it is your disobedience, which brings your problems. What He says you should not do is what you do and for this reason you suffer. If the Spirit tells you to do something and you refused, He can inflict you with any kind of sickness at that instance. Rather, you can disobey the voice of man or that of the government because there is nothing they can do to you. But if the Spirit warns you not to do a thing, like He has told you not to steal and you go to steal, He can cause you to become blind instantly and no one will question Him.
Zacharias, for example, was in the Alter serving God and the angel Gabriel appeared unto him. He told him that his wife would give birth to a male child who should be called John. Because he doubted and asked how this thing would come to pass since he and his wife are old, angel Gabriel told him, since you do not believe you will become dumb until the day this thing is fulfilled. From that time, Zacharias was dumb until the day his wife put to bed John the Baptist, when he started to speak again. That was his profit. Many of you are suffering in like manner. You do not know that the spirit is the Father; He is the Lord, and so, He can punish you in any way because of your disobedience.
Many of you question whether going on ministry work will solve your problems. Yes, if you walk in the Spirit and comply with His directives, you have no problems. It is the Holy Spirit who is working in this Kingdom. The Spirit can tell you to fast for one day and break a little feast. If you obey, your property, which was lost about twenty years ago will be brought back to you. We should not indulge in diabologies; we should not consult any person. We should not entertain any thoughts but we should rather listen to the Holy Spirit. Whatever He tells you to do, do that and all will be well. The Holy Spirit is the Father, the Mother, the Son, the Friend, the Wife, Money, wealth and everything. The time for any person to knock you on the head has passed. The time for you also to behave, as you like has passed. When some of you are told by the Spirit to go and greet somebody, you resist and say that you have already vowed not to have anything to do with such a person. That is the source of your trouble. If you fail to go and greet that person, you could be punished. Remember what happened to King Nebuchadnezzar. Who has ever resisted the will of God and gone scot -free? Many of you are resisting the will of God; and by doing this; you invite problems to yourself. The Holy Spirit has taught you everything. If you do not want to obey Him, that is left to you. The Scripture says that we have carnal fathers who have chastised us for their own profit, and we submit to them. Shall we not listen to the instruction of the Holy Spirit and live? Let the 2nd lesson be read:

2nd Lesson: Galatians 4: 6
“And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the spirit of His son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father”.

Since you are the children of God, He has poured out that Spirit into you. That is why we call Him Abba, Father. The statement that a brother shall not teach his brother, his neighbour saying, know the Lord, for all shall know Him from the least to the greatest is fulfilled today. You err when you say that a year old child does not know God. A child of one year, or two or even three knows God very well, even better than you do. The child knows his father right from the womb. Is he not a Spirit? Brethren, be not deceived. Your shortcomings hinge on obduracy. All the troubles, deaths, sicknesses, poverty, gnashing of teeth that beset you result from your refusal to listen to the Holy Spirit. Secondly, you do not realise that this is the reign of the Spirit. Also, you do not know that you are the children of God, and for that reason, He sends the Spirit of His son to dwell in your heart.
Brotherhood means the children of God. He has poured His Spirit into all the inhabitants of the world. But many of them, because of ignorance, as I had already pointed out, are in hospitals or remand homes, or under detention; some are in the grave subjected to various forms of punishments because of their ignorance. You have heard that some ate and slept; some became sick while some went on transfer. If we should search ourselves, God would not judge us. If the Holy Spirit directs you to give two naira to a person, do not refuse with the flimsy excuse that you gave him something last week, but he was not grateful because you may be punished by any form for your refusal to give him the money.

Our Lord Jesus Christ bears eloquent testimony of this when He said, whoever blasphemes against the Son of man shall be forgiven, but whosoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit shall neither in this generation nor in the generation to come be forgiven. As for Me, I do not fear any other thing apart from the Holy Spirit. I fear neither man, nor government. Because the Holy Spirit is called the fearful. In your own case, you have a time schedule when you feel the impact of the Holy Spirit. It is different with Me; I am always with the Holy Spirit. If He does not direct, I do not act. If He does not see, I cannot see. If He does not alter anything, I cannot change anything on My own. Whatever is introduced by Him, is what I follow.
What the flesh loves, the spirit does not love. What the Spirit loves, the flesh does not appreciate. But I declare to you now that, right from today, you should listen to the Spirit. What He teaches that you must do. Do not question. Do not argue because the Holy Spirit has power to do anything. What He shuts, there is none to open. What He opens, all the inhabitants of the world cannot shut. It was on this note that Peter told the elders and the judges whether it would be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God. If the government invites you, but the Holy Spirit tells you not to go, stay put, for nothing will flap its wings. If the government tells you to sit tight, but the Holy Spirit tells you to move, you should move immediately. If you delay, the punishment that will come to you will be immense. What can the government do to you? The Holy Spirit reigns in heaven and on earth.

The reason you are told to fast, stop eating fish and meat, and to refrain from other vices is to enable you to really see how the Holy Spirit performs His functions. When you see the Holy Spirit at work, you will know that you are in the Kingdom of God. The ammunitions we glory in, such as guns, aeroplanes, atomic bombs, are regarded as rubbish before the Holy Spirit. By making a pronouncement, all those things will be completely demolished. Millions or battalions of army are like filth before the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit talks, they will all sleep. The weapon of war we have is not carnal. If a man is able to invent and bring in new techniques, what do you think about God? What do you consider of the words of our Lord Jesus Christ when He said; “if I go, He shall come, but if I go not away, He will not come unto you”.
It is because our Lord Jesus Christ saw that the people did not believe, or have any faith in Him. For this reason, He decided to go back to the owner of the vineyard. He said to them, ‘I have yet many things to tell you, but you cannot bear them now; when He, the Spirit of truth shall come, He will lead you to the wisdom of truth. People keep asking you, ‘Did our Lord Jesus Christ not walk from house to house and from city to city? Why is it that your Leader does not walk from house to house? Is that your understanding? Is this the era of outdated weapons?

This is quite a different weapon in use. The Holy Spirit is now reigning. Would you say that the weapons used for the 1914 world war were those used for the 1939 war? If we have another war today, will the weapons of 1939 be in use? Such outmoded weapons will no longer be used. So it is with the weapon of God. The Holy Spirit has come in person. Without expectations you find things happening. Look at the case of our Lord Jesus Christ. He invited people to walk with Him, but they would not follow Him. Some promised and some bluntly refused. All the time He was going about His duties from place to place bleating as a goat. They did not believe Him. They did not reckon with Him at all. The disciples who propagated the faith were slaughtered like goats or fowls. They were not regarded as human beings. Do you expect He should come back in that name? He has come in a grand style to face the necessities of our time. If you are a white man, He enters your house without notice and deals with you the way He wants. Presidents, governors, sorcerers, juju priest, blacks, thieves and rouges have the same experience. The only panacea is for us to listen to him and do as He bids us without questioning. Anything outside this leaves you in fire.
You get sick and become poor because you do not keep to the divine will of the Holy Spirit. Have you not been told that you are the temple of the Holy Spirit and whoever defiles that temple, him shall God destroy. You are that temple of God; that is why you have numerous problems come to you. This is no longer the period our Lord Jesus Christ referred to when He said, “Foxes have holes; the birds of the air have their nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head”. You are His building and were bought with a prize. He has the right to rule over all creeping things and winged animals. Do not plead with any person to know God, for from the last to the greatest must know and serve Him. This is not the time to argue the word of God, trying to support your claims with various scriptural nominations. You should stop such acts. The only thing to do is to listen to the Spirit, which dwells in you. Let the golden text be read:

Golden Text: 1 John 2: 27
“But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that man teach you; but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him”.

Have you heard what the scripture says? One of our brothers was given a vision to go on ministry work, but he refused. His prize for refusal was hernia. He struggled the best he could but to no avail. He attended hospital for surgical operation, but on getting to the theater, there was no more hernia. But by the time he got back home, the hernia re-emerged. It was then that he was reminded of a vision that he was given, to go on ministry, which he refused. If he should go on the ministry work, he would see the manifestation of the glory of God. One his way to the ministry work, he branched into a bush path to ease himself. By the time he finished easing himself, the hernia disappeared till today.

Brethren, but for your stubbornness, none of you would have any problems. If you listened only to the Spirit the owner of the house and do as He bids you, you would not have problems. Can you realize why it is said that the Lord is Spirit, and where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty? All the things you do are deliberate sins and you work against yourself. You console yourself by saying that Olumba does not know what you are doing. Is the omnipresent Spirit of God not seeing all? Does He not reward you accordingly? It is said that the Spirit that abides in us is zealous about us. He resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.
At times, when you enter into the path of iniquity, He will confuse your intentions and demolish all your plans. You would then attribute it to witchcraft, mermaid, apparition, enemies and so forth. From today, do not listen to the flesh. Whatever happens in this world, do not give a superficial judgement. Listen to the Spirit and He will tell you the meaning of what has happened. Do not bother yourself again going to make inquiries from any body. In all things, listen to the Spirit. Since you come to Brotherhood, have I ever invited you to all night prayer session? Have I invited you to pray in the desert and make your request to God? Have I ever set aside a special prayer day? Have I required a group of people to accompany Me to the vestry for a special prayer? Why must I do that when God dwells in Me? Have you ever heard Me advising you? The adviser is there. If you do not hear Him, there is no other voice to adhere to. This explains why I keep telling you to listen to the Spirit and do as He directs you. Since God has come, He has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. You have only to receive instructions from no man but from Him. Do not advise any person again. We have the same Spirit in us with diverse gifts. The trouble you create for yourselves is the misunderstanding of this issue. When people close to you pray to their God, you have no right to go and disturb them, because God does not send you.

Here, we walk according to the dictates of the Spirit. The Spirit directs us and we have to obey. Obey the Holy Spirit and God will be happy with you. Do not argue. Even as I am standing, if He tells Me to alight from the pulpit, I will do that with speed. I do not have to waste time. Should you delay, you cannot foretell what would happen. Pray always. There is no time limit for praying because it is the key to this Kingdom. I told you time without number that before I enter the Alter from the vestry, I have to pray. Before I leave the pulpit, I have to pray again. Before I stand up to bless you after the gospel, I have to pray. After that I have to pray again before leaving for the Alter. When I arrive at the Alter, I have to pray. What happens in your own case?
The Holy Spirit does all things. He chooses the texts. He preaches. He answers Amen. I have told you this but you would not hear. The flesh avails nothing. If you continue in the flesh, it pays no dividends. You have eyes but cannot see ears but do not hear legs but cannot walk. But the Holy Spirit is omnipresent and omniscient. What He teaches you need not question nor doubt. It is for this reason that I always listen to Him. During the 1939 war, when people were running up and down, since I had surrendered Myself unto Him, He told Me to be calm and that nothing would happen, I remained calm. We have never departed from each other. Come to think of it, if the Spirit of God abides in you, where do you need to go? The situation is then very clear. Whoever abides in the spirit, and hearkens to the Spirit, has no problems because He is always true. If He told you that nothing will happen, nothing will happen too. When you want to leave, where will you leave Him to? He is with you and He is in all things.

What happened during the Nigerian civil war? People dug trenches, took cover in many places did you hear that Obu ran to any place? The Father told Me to be calm, for there was no war with Him. There were no trenches, nor protective shelters. Indeed there was no problem. I told members to remain in their houses, for their houses were Bethels to shelter those around them. When you are in Spirit, you can remain in any city and nothing that invades it will get on you. You can walk around in the heat of it quite unseen. I do not know what you think about the Spirit. This spirit is God. When God is with you, there will be no occasion that anything evil will stumble on your way. Your only problem is your recalcitrance. You are faced with numerous problems. When you are heady. If you had listened to the song rendered by one of the choirs, you would have heard the summary of the gospel. The word is the Spirit. The word is God. The word is money. The word is a mother. The word is everything you can think of in this world. The word and the Holy Spirit is one and the same thing. If the Spirit tells you now to leave for any place on the surface of the globe, do so immediately. Do not pose any question as for what you are going there. While there, you will meet somebody who will tell you he had sought for you for quite sometime. Today, you are well informed that as the same anointment which abides in you, teaches you; listen to Him and do not depart from His teachings any longer. Do what He tells you and refrain from what He tells you not to do. You need no one else to teach you, whether the person bolts from the blues, or from the water, or from water beneath the earth.

A stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. He, who has ears, let him hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

THANK YOU FATHER

POSITIVE THINKING

GOLDEN TEXT ROMANS 14:23
And he that doubted is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith; for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

DOUBTFULNESS BREEDS DISAPPPOINTMENT IN LIFE
Have you seen the source of all your problems? You claim to be bewitched by your enemy, and that someone is against your progress. You also attribute your predicaments to witches, incubus, juju, mermaid and other evil forces. But this sermon is going to reveal your real problem. By the time you read through it with concentration, you would have known the real source of your problems and disappointments in life. You have been told to believe in the Truth, which is life but that doubtfulness is death, suffering and all the woes that betide you. All problems in life emanate from doubtfulness. Whatever you embark on, in this life, if it does not originate from sound belief, it is an exercise in futility and it, goes with suffering, lack of progress and death. There is one spiritual chorus, which has it that:

“It is through faith that one gets into this kingdom.”

If you claim that a certain day, (Sundays for example), is not a good day for you, because of your believe that day would not be good for you. You also claim that friendship is not good with you; this is quite true because you are in doubt of it. You claim that marriage is not favourable to you; yes; it must be so because you do not believe in it. You do not believe in marriage and you do not like it, if you dare force yourself into it, marriage would dash you to the ground, tear your clothes, pierce your eyes and block your ears. You say, ‘If I eat in the night, I do not feel well.’ Accordingly, if you dare take food at night, you would suffer from it. If you claim that garri does not go well in your system, any day you dare touch it, you would suffer from instantaneous stomachache. What is the cause of all these problems? It is said that, whatever you do if it is not from your total belief and faith, it is a sin.
You claimed that someone hates you; yes, someone would never like you till tomorrow, because of your negative view about people. You claim that a particular man, is a witch, I cannot go to his house, so that he may not bewitch me. As a result of this, you live in perpetual fear and worry. If the man passes by and you happen to catch a glimpse of him, immediately you feel very uncomfortable and weak. You would not mind to tell people that the man has bewitched you. If you want to embark on a certain venture, you get yourself tensed up in a situation of indecision. You get confused whether or not to go into this venture. If you find yourself in such a position, the best thing to do is to steer clear of such business; it would not work out well. Since you have doubted your chances of success, you are bound to fail if you finally go into it.
Someone comes to you to beg for something of which you obviously have. In your heart, you place yourself in a situation of indecision; “should I give or should I stop to give out this thing, you ask yourself”. You continue to ponder whether to tell lies or to say the truth. Dear brethren immediately you do this, you have put yourself into trouble already. If you finally give out the thing, it attracts punishment instead of blessing.
Upon all your years in this Kingdom and your claim to be religiously inclined, did you know that whatever you do which does not come from your total belief and faith is a great sin? Someone invites you to join a partnership in opening a business, but you start to doubt whether or not the person would dupe you. Eventually, if you change your mind to join the business, you would experience a loss. It may even land you in police case or in a sick bed in the hospital. The reason is that, you never believed in the success of the business from the onset.

It is said that:
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and up-braideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. (James 1: 5-8)

Doubtfulness; has caused a lot of untold hardship, problems, confusion, woes and ruin in the entire world. That is why I am prompted to expatiate on this recondite wisdom because the situation in the world is very pathetic.
Take for instance, your frequency in coming to the hall to hear from the horse’s mouth yet you are frosted with doubt. Do you drop doubt from your mind? How many people really believe that they are saved? What you are reading is not out of vision, dream nor prophecy but the word of God. Whatever you doubt about before finally embarking on it; is a sin on your part. You want to marry a person but people try to discourage you. On your part, you reluctantly say ‘Well let me try and see how the marriage would go’. Do not attempt because you do not believe in the marriage. I repeat do not dare to marry the person anymore because, if you finally get into it, you would meet failure. But whatever you believe in, the opinion of others notwithstanding, go on with it; whether crossing a mighty ocean, jumping a flame of fire or whatever situation, provided you sincerely believe, you would go through it successfully. You would also see the glory of God clearly manifesting in you, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

TESTIMONY
If you were opportuned to listen to testimonies of two different brethren from Rivers State on two different occasions, you would agree that the two testimonies pointed to one thing. They were all about faith and believing truthfully. One of them said that there was an incident of fire outbreak in their compound. As the fire razed on, people ran helter-skelter and there was a stampede. His children wailed but he had confidence in the Father. So, he called on the Holy Father, Leader Olumba Olumba Obu to quench the fire for him, since his hope and trust were on this wonderful name. Immediately, the fire was instantly extinguished. Many others who witnessed the dramatic extinguishing of the fire did not believe that it was as a result of the wonderful name called.
Eventually, the next day at that same environment but not in this brother’s house, fire broke out due to their disbelief. They ran to this same brother of the previous day and called him; ‘fire extinguisher please come to our rescue. They rather referred to him as a ‘fire extinguisher’, instead of his real name. He, without hesitation, went to the scene. With this same wonderful name, (Leader Olumba Olumba Obu) he commanded the fire to quench and immediately the fire miraculously quenched. As a result of this, so many of them got baptised.
If you were in the position of this brother, you would run miles away, because you do not believe in God. So many of you are spiritually empty, because you have no faith in God. That is your main sickness – faithlessness. When you are faced with little problems, you become so weak and faithless. What then is your benefit in coming to hear from me from time to time without building up your faith in the Father?
People may point accusing fingers to certain group of people as terrible necromancers, witches, juju priests or murderers but so long as you do not believe on these things you move very majestically on your way. Even when any of these necromancer persons sees you at a distance, they would hide to make way for you because of the spiritual force in you. As you move about, this force that accompanies you would destroy all the diabolical substances on your way.
In a small village called Ikot Ubok Udom about twenty years ago, a preacher was to be poisoned in his Bethel. He actually saw when this person dropped the poison in a vessel containing the holy water but, he damned the consequences, and with a cup he fetched the water and drank. After drinking he pronounced, manure, and true to his faith, he was not hurt at all. He even ordered for another cup, and nothing happened to him at all. Do you see what faith can do?
You go to your brother’s house and a very delicious meal is presented before you, but because of your doubtfulness you say to yourself, ‘if I take this food it would be injurious to my health. I do not know whether or not there is poison in the food’. As far as you have this doubt in your mind do not dare to take this food. If you try, even if it is one ball of foo-foo, you would slump to the ground and start vomiting blood on the spot. At this point, you would confirm your earlier anticipated fears that the food was poisoned. It is quite untrue, there was nothing like poison in the food but your doubtfulness.

A PRECIOUS GIFT
Therefore, this gospel is delivered to you as a precious gift, so that if you were a king of doubtfulness you should drop it henceforth, because doubtfulness is the worst sickness for any soul. You claim that, you have tried different things without success; yes, it is because of nothing but doubt. There is no evil power behind your failure in achieving anything; it is because you have doubted God.
You often claim that everybody has a word of testimony but none for you. Have you not heard about a brother who magnified God in his testimony? He said, if he had the time he would continue to testify till even the next morning. This brother testified that in his village, a man got missing and the whole community assembled to consult a necromancer.
He alone objected to this, believing that he has a Father, who is greater than everything. So, when he appeared in the village assembly, he told the gathering that nothing should be considered because there is a Father who is able to do all things. Filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, this brother promised the villagers that within three days they would surely see this missing person. “Whether the person was dead or not, within the next three days he would he seen.” He assured the villagers. The next day as a hunter went on his expedition; he saw this man in the forest and brought him home alive. What was responsible for this?
Many of you refuse to say out what is revealed to you. You often claim that people would not believe you or that they would laugh to scorn, should you dare say it openly. Many people are really glorifying God, for their wonderful experience in this Kingdom, but some of you do not gain this experience because of your doubtfulness. Some of you do not even behave as baptised members at all. There is nothing that God cannot accomplish. Let me declare it openly to you that, it is not because of your goodness, nor love for God in a situation, which He shows His mercy to you. But your greatest hindrance is doubt. You find yourself entangled in serious problems because of doubtfulness.

TESTIMONY
There is another testimony, in which a gang of robbers surrounded a man. They forced this brother into their car and sped off to an unknown destination. He was not shaken because, he believed that the Father was always with him. To him, the robbers had their guns as their protection but he had Olumba Olumba Obu as his fortress. They drove him far into a remote place, a place when you find yourself in, should consider it the end of your life. They ordered him to get out of the car with at least five hundred Naira (N500.00) as ransom or else he should forget about his life.
At this point, this brother expressed his regret that they ought to inform him earlier because five hundred Naira was too small amount for them to demand from him considering his level of wealth and status. That he has more money at home to give, even more than the amount they demand. Since he believe in the Father and has the Father as his protector, he told them with all amount of confidence that if they had informed him, he would have prepared for them, at home
As a result of their quest for quick money and since the man could not produce the needed amount on the spot, they acted foolishly. They asked him whether the money was really at home. He quickly confirmed this and assured them that they would be well taken care of if they should accept to accompany him to his house. As they drove close to the site of his company he pointed at his workers who were still working. He asked them to stop the car when they finally got to his house.
He came out and asked them to follow Him upstairs. ” Come and get the money”, he assured them. Some climbed the stairs along with him while the others stayed to keep watch. Immediately he opened his door, he went straight to his wardrobe, removed the mufti on him and put on his soutane. He told them ‘now is the time, you all are in your military uniform, I too have to wear my own.
To their greatest surprise, he told them that he had no money to give to them that they could do their worst. They threatened to shoot him, he rebuffed and even asked them to take him where they felt was safer for their action. As they were standing contemplating on the next line of action to take, this brother abandoned them and went downstairs to board the robbers’ car. He asked them to take him along and that he was ready to follow them to any length.
His children started crying; he hushed them that Olumba Olumba Obu was before and behind him, the robbers would never harm him.
When they finally drove off, at a distance, one of them asked the man, ‘by the way, what rank have you in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star’?” He replied that, he is neither a pastor nor an apostle but an ordinary Brotherhood of the Cross and Star member. He told them that, whatever they feel they could do, he was equal to the task.
They further asked him, why he did not inform them earlier that he was a Brotherhood of the Cross and Star member. That they would not have wasted their time. They asked the man to go back and even apologised that they did not know he was Brotherhood of the cross and Star member. They drove him back to a point and asked him to go down. One of them brought out money to pay his way home, but this brother objected.
Who among you can do this? He had no gun or riffle but only the name. On your own part, you are face to face with the Father yet fear and cowardice grip you. If a little thing happens now, you would be the first to take to your heels, raising alarm while on your heels.

FAITH WORKS WONDERS
What saved this brother from this situation? Was it not faith? Faith is something you cannot see but yet you believe. If anybody reads this sermon and stamps it in his mind, ejecting the spirit of doubt from his mind, he has completely overcome all the problems of this life. If you believe this gospel and put it into practise, you will realise that there is no body, witch, juju, incubus, ghost, and indeed, nothing exist, except the Most High. He is in everything, reigns in everywhere and your way is wide open with him.
With this type of faith, people would say that the Father has given you witch, even some members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star would accuse you of extraordinary power. You would always believe that, there is nothing at all that can harm you, believing that Father is before and behind you. You would be sure that you have a Father, a real wonderful Father who owns and controls everything, nothing can flap its ugly wings again.

DO NOT LISTEN TO WHAT PEOPLE SAY
When people would tell you that this or that person is a thief, do not believe it. They would tell you, that lady is a prostitute, you should never listen to them. Instead tell them that she is a very good lady. When they say, that man is a wicked man, you would disagree with them that he is a good man. You would always believe that since the Father is in everything, he has conquered all things. This is the key to your progress in life. This is exactly what is expected of you. But if you are told, ‘look, that person is a thief,’ and you readily accept it. If the accused person come closer to you, you ask him to steer clear from you so that he would not steal your things.
When someone comes to you in order to assassinate the character of another person before you, if you believe that what the informer tells you is true; you would not always want to see the person whose character had been assassinated. You would always be afraid that if you go closer to him, what he did to the other person would be extended to you. That is your failure and downfall. In the absence of doubt one is completely perfect because, the Father had given man the power to subdue everything under the sole of his feet, but your hindrance is doubt.

OUR TELEPHONE NUMBER
In another instance, one Obenuku came up with a similar testimony. That a gang leader had sent a message to him to announce to the entire Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. That any day they discover any stealing of property of a member of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, they should know it is not from armed robbers but some disgruntled members of the fold. This is because, according to him, no real armed robber would have the mind to steal from a Brotherhood of the Cross and Star member. That Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has saved many of them from death and some of them have actually got baptised into the fold.
He said, he would have resigned from the deadly act of robbery but there is nothing he could do because, it is his occupation, which he had signed to do. He went on to say that, at first eight of them were arrested, 7 were condemned and finally executed but he alone was saved. In another occasion, 10 of them were arrested, 9 were shot but he escaped. That the Father should be praised because He has helped many of them greatly.
If an armed robber could testify to the power of God, how much more you who sits daily before the Father, hearing directly from the Horse’s mouth. You continue to doubt God even as you are sitting there with this gospel. Why do you continue to doubt have you examined yourselves? There is yet another sister from Kaduna who came here (34 Ambo Street Calabar) to glorify God, in her testimony. It is said that out of the word of your mouth, you would be judged. As far as you do not believe in God, what do you think He could do for you? What was responsible for the instant healing of the servant of the Centurion you read from the scripture? It was because of his faith. He said to our Lord Jesus Christ that his servant was terribly sick. Even our Lord Jesus Christ was a little worried of the situation and so, asked this Centurion to go that He would come and meet him at home.

Nevertheless, the Centurion forbade Him not to come under his roof, but that He should only speak a word for his servant would be healed. Did he doubt our Lord Jesus Christ? He only wanted Him to speak just a word and everything would be well. Our Lord Jesus Christ was surprised at the level of faith of this man that He said:
…Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. (St. Matthew 8: 10)
The Centurion, as you might have read in the scripture was commander of the army, in which case he issues orders to his officers and they were carried out promptly. Yet, he said he was not worthy that Christ should come under his house. It was at this juncture that our Lord Jesus Christ said:
And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the Kingdom of Heaven.
But the children of the Kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (St. Matthew 8: 11 – 12).
He finally commanded the Centurion as follows:
…Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the self-same hour. (Matt. 8:13)
When he got home, he discovered that his servant was completely healed, playing outside with others. In order to be quite convinced of the power, behind the healing, he asked them when the servant got well. They told him and it was the exact hour that Christ pronounced the word.
But in this generation, have you not witnessed something greater than this ‘Why then is your heart filled with doubt? Why, do you still doubt?

A FAITHLESS GENERATION
During the Nigeria civil war, I discovered that many members were greatly sad because even when I said hallelujah! No one responded. So, I had to declare on the spot that, right now, the war has come to an end. Did it not stop as I ordered?
You come to me and I pronounce that you have been given power, but you turn round to look for water, oil and prayer. You continue to request for one thing or the other whereas you have been given full authority over all things. What more do you want? Do you not know that you are Olumba Olumba Obu yourself?
Dear brethren, can you now see your pitfall? It is said that whatever you doubt, whether a day, month, food or work is considered as sinful on your part. The actual month, food or work, which you disbelieved, is not sinful but rather your act of doubt. This is the source of your problem.

EVEN NECROMANCERS ACCEPT THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Even the inhabitants of the world now do not doubt me. Juju doctors would go to the extent of assuring a sick person that he would pay him a certain amount if he takes his sickness to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and comes out unhealed. He would tell you that their power or potency with regards to charms and amulets has all failed, that the only place true healing is done now is Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. He would assure you that you should take your sick person to Olumba Olumba Obu for quick and instant healing. All the secret societies, occultists, necromancers and all others believe in the Father.
Some members doubt the presence of the Father in their midst. It is because of your doubtfulness that you keep on lamenting. Upon all the words of life imparted to you daily, are you still in doubt? You have been warned times without number that, you should stop the eating of meat and fish yet you continue to eat them because you are in doubt. You have also been asked to refrain from fornication, you continue in spite of several warnings because, you do not believe in the word. You have also been warned not to drink, but you continue because, you do not believe, you continue to steal and commit other vices because you do not believe at all.
A profitable assignment has been given to you that, you should go into the field for everything you need is there but because of your doubt, you cannot think about such. When you are told to hand over all your problems to Him, for He thinks of you more than you think of yourself, you doubt this claiming that if that were true, how would you be faced with all these problems? You would even tell yourself that the Father continues to say that everything is well, that it is a mere slogan, which cannot be enforced. By so doing, you doubt.

You have been given a telephone number that, whatever happens at any point in time, go on your knees and dial the Father for all would be well, you doubt this and say that, you have not such faith and that you are a new convert. But immediately you leave, your next option is to find a visionary to tell you what to do. The person would tell you that your father or mother has bewitched you, and you readily accept it. In order to solve your purported problem, they would collect from you the little money you would have used to feed yourself and children in the pretext of conducting a feast.
Also, when you are instructed that when someone strikes you on one cheek, turn the other, for everything works for your good, you dispel this telling yourself that is what they always say at all times, that all is well. How can a man like me slap me and go scot-free? ‘NO! I must pay him back.’ At this, you doubt the voice of the Holy Spirit and flout His divine order to your detriment. When you are told that you are in heaven, you quickly, in a surprise mood ask your friend, ‘do you hear what the Father has said, that we are now in heaven when in actual sense we are here in Calabar? Each time you doubt His pronouncement, you cannot benefit from it. This is the cause of your downfall.
Why is it that even those who are in overseas countries enjoys the glory of God more than those of you in the physical presence of the Father? It is because of your state of doubtfulness. You are too much in doubt.

A GUIDE TO YOUR LIFE
So, let this gospel be a guide to you in your daily life. Always remember that whatever is not from a sound belief and faith is sin. You are asked to hold fast to whatever you believe and to put it before your God. It is said that:
Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge but he that hateth reproof is brutish. (Proverbs 12:1)
In our doctrine, you can bear witness that we do not use candle, perfume, incense nor any of such things; we do not go to the river or burial ground but we depend on the word.
That was why our Lord Jesus Christ said to His disciples:
…Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. (St. Matt. 17: 20)
You have been told repeatedly that, there is no ghost, apparition, mermaid nor witchcraft, why do you continue to believe that these things exist. This is why you fail. This situation prompted our Lord Jesus Christ to give the following assurance as stated in the scriptures:
He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues:
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Then why is it that you are not accompanied with these signs? Is it not out of your doubt? Therefore, let everyone who comes across this sermon spread it to both members and non-members that doubtfulness should be stopped. When people come across a Brotherhood of the Cross and Star member, one – who believes in God and he is blessed abundantly they would speculate that there is some extra-ordinary power behind him. A mere song that a Brotherhood of the Cross and Star member sings on his way to his business renders every diabolical substance there useless and dead. What else should one add this power. If there is any man or woman in this world who claims to have evil power, I challenge him to come out, I will only send a little child to sing ordinary spiritual chorus and all his evil power would be subdued.
In Rivers State, there is one community that once had an oracle in a ‘shrine’. Then, a member of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, each time he returns from service, would sing and pass along a foot-path beside the shrine. To the greatest surprise of the people, the power of this oracle was rendered useless and the juju died off. Note that this brother was not a visioner, he was not even aware of what was kept because, he was a stranger there. But this thing died just because of ordinary songs he sang while passing on the path from time to time. Even in the nearby environment, their entire juju also died.
When they discovered this, they went to prepare another set of juju but on each occasion as this brother returned from service singing, all the charms and juju died instantly. Therefore, in order to save themselves, they had to send two persons to him. They told him that their entire juju died because of his singing each time he passed by their shrine. That he should avoid the path while going to his service. This brother was surprised and started asking them, when this actually took place. They told him that at first, all their medicine died due to his songs. They went to replenish the stock a second time, and all were dead. Have you not heard of one Friday Aha who was a great medicine man? People used to sue others in his shrine.
Because, everything that one would dread was there. But Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members sang and passed when he turned to look at them, all his medicine died completely.
As he rang his bell as usual, there was no more response. He tried all he could to awaken his juju they were all dead. So, in a bid to save himself he ran to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and got baptised.
If the world were to be given the power, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star would not have existed till now because, the destruction caused to all juju and other diabolical substances are so great. However, some members, being ignorant of the overwhelming power in the Kingdom still doubt.

THE POWER BEHIND BROTHERHOOD OUTINGS
In Oyubia-Oron their chief raised alarm because Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members rendered their entire juju impotent and useless. He called on his people to rise and do something before it was too late. All of them assembled and decided to sue Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. But others argued that they had no evidence and should they sue them, it would be an exercise in futility.
The members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star who went on outing did not sprinkle water, nor conduct spiritual work, but the whole juju in the land died. Finally, the village assembly went in disarray and confusion and decided to summon Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and claim damages. But their chief prevented them from doing so because they had nothing as evidence to show that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members caused the demise of their charms and juju. Today, that community is now very peaceful.
The ordinary outing embarked on by members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has very great Spiritual significance. That is why, the moment members of secret societies see you all in white trooping out, they take to their heels. Besides the outing, even your ordinary soutane has spiritual significance. A mere putting it on and going about your business, even in the office, everything is subdued. That is why some of these men in top governmental posts who are also members in secret cults would not want to see a member of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star in their offices.
Many of them would say ‘I don’t want to see a Brotherhood of the Cross and Star member here.’ If you do not want to see a Brotherhood of the Cross and Star member, whom else do you want to see? It is because of their doubt, that many of them get themselves destroyed in the process of trying to fight or investigate Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. You have been advised not to pray and request for anything but only give thanks to the Father.
Always believe that from the very day you had baptised of the Holy Spirit in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, you have been saved. For how many times is a person saved? Whatever the situation at any given time, always believe that everything is well. Do not doubt anymore.
Christ said:
But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (St. Matt. 6:33)
Believe fervently in God, be ready to serve Him, surrender your entire heart to Him. Stop fornication, lying, stealing, and other vices. Do all He asks you to do, go into the field and render services to God. Then wait and see if you would not experience a dramatic turn of event in your life; the glory of God would Surely manifest in you.
But being the sons and daughters of doubt, you receive this gospel with absent-mindedness, why then do you continue to avail yourself of the gospels when you are not ready to believe? Do you not know that your action constitutes a sin? If you were to believe on what is preached to you daily, you would not have experienced any problem anymore.

THE POWER IN YOUR WHITE SOUTANE
Take for example, Brother Etop’s frequent use of his white soutane. Since the day the Holy Father revealed to members that the white soutane we put on is a wonderful garment and indeed glorious to go about with, and kingly too, Brother Etop cultivated the habit of wearing it from time to time. If you should start to wear your soutane, you would not be in lack; even outsiders would treat you with reverence in any place you go.
From the day the gospel of white soutane was delivered, Brother Etop dress in white soutane wherever he goes to, even at work. This too has worked wonders for him. But in your own case, if you want to fornicate or steal, you remove it and dump one side and put on mufti, which would be difficult for people to identify you. In your satanic expedition, you get entangled with problems; people engage you in physical combat, beat you up and tear your clothes. When you finally resurface, you testify how you, a child of the Holy Father, were beaten up while on your lawful business.
It is said:
Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness (Hebrews 3:7-8)
Have you not hardened your heart? When you are warned not to quarrel and fight, you feel quite unconcerned. You fail to believe and even pay deaf ears when you are warned not to drink nor smoke. This is because; you are seriously in doubt about God. In spite of your doubt, you keep on coming here. What else do you want? What do you think God can do for you? For you to go away from the fold you cannot and to believe in God, you cannot. See the golden text below:

GOLDEN TEXT: ROMANS 14 23
And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

DO NOT FEAR ANY EVIL BUT FEAR DOUBTFULNESS
I had given you this illustration before, let me further repeat it to buttress this gospel. There was one judge who handled a case involving a necromancer. This man, knowing the seriousness of his case threatened the judge with all sorts of unimaginable things. True to his threat, the necromancer started sending ghost, thunder, juju and so on to harm this judge, but the judge was not hurt because he was not aware of what was going on; none of these things had any effect on him. He did all in his power to harm the judge but the judge was quite unperturbed. So, he decided to take a different line of action. He started sending anonymous letters to the judge threatening to send ghost to destroy him. Another day, the judge also received anonymous letter warning him that he would get lost while in his chamber. Letters continued to be sent to this judge threatening him. So, one day the judge became afraid and doubted his resistance to his diabology. As a result of doubt, he died.
At this point, the angel was disturbed by the doubtful expression of Zacharias and so he retorted:
“I am Gabriel that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season. (St. Luke 1: 19-20)
Do you see what doubtfulness caused the man? He would not have been dumb but for his doubt. The same is the case with many of you in this fold. When a vision is given to you, you get angry; a preacher deliver a gospel that touches you, you get annoyed, everything is annoying to you because you do not believe the word of God. Then, the question is what do you want from God?

A stroke of a cane is sufficient unto the wise, let those who has ears hear, may the Lord bless His Holy words.

“PRACTISE THE WORD OF GOD”

1ST Lesson: St. John 14: 21
“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.”

Golden Text: St. Matthew 7: 24-25
“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.”

FAITH CONNOTES PRACTISING THE WORD OF GOD
Beloved, have you now realised what is meant by faith? Being faithful simply means accepting to practice the words of God every time, every where. Often people mock at you when you claim to have seen God face to face. This is as a result of the fact that they always see you indulging in sins.
A woeful sinner who claims to see God face to face does not understand what he says. You are often mocked by the people of the world for claiming to see God face to face yet you wallow in sinfulness. It is the faithful alone that God reveals Himself to, whoever rejects the word of God cannot see God. And whoever believes not in God and His words cannot be His disciple. You have been enjoined not to steal, tell lies, fornicate, use medication, quarrel and engage in the like deeds. You must refrain from these so as to be saved. At any point in time you practice the word of God, you automatically become one with Him. How can you claim to be seeing God face to face yet you practice none of His injunctions? Anyone who believes not in God cannot practice His injunctions. Invariably, if you do not practice His words, you cannot establish faith in Him. Read the first lesson again:

1ST. LESSON: ST. JOHN 14: 21
“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.”

THE WORDS OF GOD IS POWER
A great number of people have failed today as a result of the fact that they have shunned His commandments. The word of God constitutes power. It is through the word of God that we have peace, love, prosperity, joy and other goodies in life including eternal life.
From January to December, I make sure the word of God is imparted to you. Yet, you refuse to practice same. To show your apathy towards the word of God, some people do pay a deaf ear on hearing the Bible that marks the beginning of each service. Note that salvation is for those who practice the word of God. Recall that in the time of Noah, only him and his household were saved. This was as a result of the fact that they practiced the word of God and had faith in God. You claim to have seen God face to face, but do you know what your statement means? Bear in mind that seeing God face to face means practicing His words and forsaking all manners of sinfulness. Having seen Him face to face, it then behoves upon you to shun all forms of hatred, malice, segregation etc., and make sure you love all equally and also practice the word of God. Read the golden text again:

GOLDEN TEXT: ST MATTHEW 7: 24-25.
“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock; and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house; and it fell not; for it was founded upon a rock.”

THE WORD OF GOD SAVES
At a point when a certain woman said to Our Lord Jesus Christ, Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breast which you socked, Our Lord Jesus Christ replied her thus:

ST. LUKE 11: 28.
“Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.”

Here in the Kingdom, you are blessed with so many things. Your prayers are answered, businesses boom, your sicknesses healed and you are blessed with all your needs. But
these things would not profit you anything if you still do not practice the word of God and have faith in God. Hence, salvation cannot be accorded you.
Irrespective of the positions you are made to acquire here in the Kingdom, in as much as you do not practice the word of God and have faith in Him, such positions are to no avail. As many as heard the word of God and did same had ascended to God. For instance, Abraham, Abel, Melchizedek, Enoch, Noah and other prophets of old practiced the word of God and were elevated. Those who practice the word of God are accounted worthy and given a place, whereas those who do not practice the word of God are unworthy and are discarded from the Kingdom of God.
Yesterday, I asked my children to read four gospels for Me. At the end of reading, I became astonished to realize that the partakers of such gospels still indulge in sins, hatred, quarrelling, fornication, and the like evil deeds. As many as do not wish to practice the word of God, do not love God neither do they love their lives. That is why things always go haywire with them.
It is of immense importance for one to practice the word of God once you practice the word of God; you are on top of the world. After all Christ in our golden text said:
“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock, and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house and it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock.”
Therefore, you have no hope whatsoever if you do not practice the word of God. It is not good for you to claim to be a Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, member yet, you still engage in the deeds, which the Father forbids. In fact it profits you nothing to be recalcitrant not to bow His words. For being a rebel, you cannot have peace, salvation or eternal life but damnation.

It is said that a stroke of the cane is enough for the wise. Let those who have ears hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the entire world. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

Thank you Good Father.

At any point in time you practice the word of God, you automatically become one with Him. How can you claim to be seeing God face to face yet you practice none of His injunctions? Anyone who believes not in God cannot practice His injunctions. Invariably, if you do not practice His words, you cannot establish faith in Him. Read the first lesson again:

1ST. LESSON: ST. JOHN 14: 21
“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.”

THE WORDS OF GOD IS POWER
A great number of people have failed today as a result of the fact that they have shunned His commandments. The word of God constitutes power. It is through the word of God that we have peace, love, prosperity, joy and other goodies in life including eternal life.
From January to December, I make sure the word of God is imparted to you. Yet, you refuse to practice same. To show your apathy towards the word of God, some people do pay a deaf ear on hearing the Bible that marks the beginning of each service. Note that salvation is for those who practice the word of God. Recall that in the time of Noah, only him and his household were saved. This was as a result of the fact that they practiced the word of God and had faith in God. You claim to have seen God face to face, but do you know what your statement means? Bear in mind that seeing God face to face means practicing His words and forsaking all manners of sinfulness. Having seen Him face to face, it then behoves upon you to shun all forms of hatred, malice, segregation etc., and make sure you love all equally and also practice the word of God. Read the golden text again:

GOLDEN TEXT: ST MATTHEW 7: 24-25.
“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock; and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house; and it fell not; for it was founded upon a rock.”

THE WORD OF GOD SAVES
At a point when a certain woman said to Our Lord Jesus Christ, Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breast which you socked, Our Lord Jesus Christ replied her thus:

ST. LUKE 11: 28.
“Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.”

Here in the Kingdom, you are blessed with so many things. Your prayers are answered, businesses boom, your sicknesses healed and you are blessed with all your needs. But
these things would not profit you anything if you still do not practice the word of God and have faith in God. Hence, salvation cannot be accorded you.
Irrespective of the positions you are made to acquire here in the Kingdom, in as much as you do not practice the word of God and have faith in Him, such positions are to no avail. As many as heard the word of God and did same had ascended to God. For instance, Abraham, Abel, Melchizedek, Enoch, Noah and other prophets of old practiced the word of God and were elevated. Those who practice the word of God are accounted worthy and given a place, whereas those who do not practice the word of God are unworthy and are discarded from the Kingdom of God.
Yesterday, I asked my children to read four gospels for Me. At the end of reading, I became astonished to realize that the partakers of such gospels still indulge in sins, hatred, quarrelling, fornication, and the like evil deeds. As many as do not wish to practice the word of God, do not love God neither do they love their lives. That is why things always go haywire with them.
It is of immense importance for one to practice the word of God once you practice the word of God; you are on top of the world. After all Christ in our golden text said:
“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock, and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house and it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock.”
Therefore, you have no hope whatsoever if you do not practice the word of God. It is not good for you to claim to be a Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, member yet, you still engage in the deeds, which the Father forbids. In fact it profits you nothing to be recalcitrant not to bow His words. For being a rebel, you cannot have peace, salvation or eternal life but damnation.

It is said that a stroke of the cane is enough for the wise. Let those who have ears hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the entire world. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

Thank you Good Father.

“RE – EXAMINE YOUR WORK.”

EVERY PERSON SHOULD PROVE HIS OWN WORK

1ST LESSON : ST. MATTHEW 7: 4
“Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and behold a beam is in thine own eye?”

2ND LESSON : JAMES 3: 13
“Who is a wise man and endure with knowledge among you? Let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom”.

GOLDEN TEXT: GALATIANS 6: 4
“But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another”.

EXAMINE YOUR WORK BEFORE YOU BOAST
Brethren, that is the theme of our revelation tonight. Let every man examine his own work so that he can have what to boast about. If you do not repent and forsake your sins, how will you know a person who is truly repentant? If you are not righteous, how will you know a righteous person? If you have not refrained from exasperation, falsehood, backbiting, fornication, theft, indulgence in the preparation of concoction, how will you be in a position to correct, or rebuke or reprove others who commit these vices?
All those who impute sins against others have not yet repented of their sins, that is why they so impute. All those who continue to find faults with others are not yet repentant. When you come across a person who goes about reporting his brethren to others, watch that person, you will discover that he has not forsaken sins. When you come across somebody who complains that no body love him, know that he himself has no love. When you see somebody complaining that someone has deceived him, or has told him a lie or has done one thing or the other adversely to him, if you investigate, he has not refrained from those vices.

ABHOR EVIL AND CLEAVE TO THAT WHICH IS GOOD
What I want you to do, is to come here and do that which is good to all men. My indebtedness to you and your indebtedness to Me is for you to do what is good to Me and I will reciprocate your example. But when you go to criticize or condemn, or tell people they are not good, you are a confusionist. But you have no right to judge, or to cheat, or to disgrace or to beat up or to insult, or to take a court action against any person. What is left open for you and I is for us to purify ourselves and practice goodness. If you profess that you are a child of God, go and do what is good to others. But when you begin to criticize, condemn, disgrace, abuse and insult, you have not done anything, because that is not the work of God.

TO THE PURE ALL THINGS ARE PURE
It is said unto the pure all things are pure, but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure, but even their minds and conscience is defiled. When you come across somebody who criticizes, or condemns or complains that people are doing one thing or the other, know that such a person is a bad man. If you come across a person who demands that you should do one thing or the other for people, to please himself, that such a person is not doing the work of God. If you profess to be a man of God, go and do to others those things which you desire that people should do unto you. Any person who professes to be a man of God can be qualified as such only if he indulges in well doing. Your childhood of God can be seen and known by your good conduct. To be engaged in reporting, backbiting, quarrelling, insulting, abusing, hating, disgracing, beating up and tale bearing against your brother, is not the work of God. To go about requesting for certain things everywhere or to collect things from people everywhere or to demand as of right anything from any person is not the work of God. To be engaged in tale bearing, you go to the left and report what somebody has done, then you pass to the right and report what somebody has said, is not the work of God. To engage in random criticism or condemnation of any person is not the work of God. It is also not the work of God to praise another person or yourself.

ONLY RIGHTEOUSNESS DWELLS IN THE KINGDOM
This is the time that we should be the doers of the word of God, doing exactly what the word of God directs us to do. This is the New Kingdom of God, where righteousness dwells. And so whatever good works any person is able to do, let him do, but evil deeds are abhorred in it. If you know you cannot do any good thing, start now to change from your critical outlook and disposition, run away from sins and all evil things and practice what is good. It is not your duty to go about criticizing your brethren, speaking evil about them insulting, abusing, condemning, and finding fault with them. Brethren, I do not wish to overload you with this lesson, the first lesson will now be read again:

1ST LESSON: ST. MATTHEW 7: 4
“Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me put out the mote out of thine own eyes; and behold, a beam is in thine own eye?”

Brethren, have you heard the word of God read to you? How will you advise your brother to remove a small piece of stick from his eyes, whereas there is a mighty beam in your own eye? How will you advise your brother to refrain from theft, fornication, falsehood and other vices whereas you are still fornicating, stealing and telling lies? How will you advise a man to refrain from all manners of sin whereas you have not refrained from a single sin? How will you enjoin somebody to do what is good and righteous whereas, you do not know what is good and righteous, how would you want to do good?

REMOVE THE BEAM IN YOUR EYE AND YOU WILL SEE THE MOTE
If you go to obtain help from a brother, and you do not succeed in obtaining it, you begin to criticize that the brother has no love, do you have love yourself? If you had love, would you have embarrassed your brother? Sometimes you receive something on loan from somebody, and when it is due, he comes so that you defray the loan. But you cannot repay the loan and you begin to criticize that, because he wants you to repay the loan, he has no love, what about you who is liable to a breach of contract, have you love? If you had love you would repay the loan. Our duty now is to endeavor to remove the big beam from our own eyes and we will see clearly to cast out the mote out of our brother’s eye.
Each of us sitting down here has a beam in our own eyes and our duty is first to remove this big beam from our eyes. It is said owe no man anything but to love one another for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. It is also said, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the prompting of the flesh. Can you realize that the debt we owe is the debt of doing what is good to all? You do not owe any person the duty to abuse or insult him, to beat him up and disgrace him, to speak slanderous words against him or to begrudge him. Whether or not somebody dances dexterously well, is none of your concern, but dance yours dexterously well. Whether or not a person sings melodiously, is not your bother but sing yours well. You are not to be concerned about the type of dress somebody puts on, neither are you concerned about the type of food he eats, you should be concerned with the acts of doing good.

JUDGE NOT THAT YOU SHOULD BE NOT JUDGED
It is said speak not evil one of another; he that speaks evil of his brother and judges his brother speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge. There is only one lawgiver who is able to save and to destroy, and that is God. Who are you who judge another? The tendency to judge one another is what causes trouble in the entire world. Many of us, before we left our houses to this place of worship, had abused, slandered, insulted, criticized and quarreled with our brothers, is that the work of God? Who has taught you to speak evil against your own brother? Who has taught you to be a beggar? Who has taught you to do that? Who has taught you to insult and disgrace your own brethren? You are only taught to do that which is good. The scriptures say, to him who knows to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin. If you go to somebody’s house and there, you observe that the house is dirty and the compound unkempt, instead of you interrogating the inmate of the house why they do not sweep the house but decided to dwell in a filthy environment. Take up the broom, sweep and garnish the house and keep it in a complete sanitary condition.
BE DOERS OF THE WORD NOT HEARERS ONLY
You go to somebody’s house and see that every where is very littered with dirty clothes, do not question the sister why dirty clothes are kept carelessly around and why they are not washed. Is it what you were sent to do? We have been taught to be doers of the word and not hearers only. If you are a child of God, one who practices the word of God, you go into the house and find it dirty and unkempt, take up the broom and tidy it up. If the dresses are dirty, wash and dry them. If there is no food in the house, you have to go to the market, buy food and cook for the inmates to eat. That is exactly what you are expected to do as a child of God. If you discover that there is trouble in the house, communication has broken down between the husband and the wife, and the relationship between the father and the children is not cordial, quickly enter into it in order to bring about a settlement. And also resolve the differences with a view to restoring amicable and cordial atmosphere for the entire household. It is not your duty to gather the children and rebuke them and scourge them, neither is it your duty to condemn the parents for not being able to look after their children. You do not have to instigate the children against the father nor will you antagonize the father against the wife and children.

DO NOT BE WEARY IN WELL DOING
Remember what Our Lord Jesus Christ said, whoever is not with Me is against Me and whoever does not gather with Me scatters abroad. If your duty now is to criticize, look pessimistic at things; do not consider things objectively. If you are flippant and critical of all situations, you should stop for a moment, “re-arrange your thinking” and go back to start afresh because you have not yet started your duty in this Kingdom of God.
What is required in this Kingdom is practicing the word of God. This is not the time to engage in rigmarole, or to make complaints to people, or to report any person to another person or to lodge a report about anything with any person. If you discover that a brother is indebted to another person, all you have to do is to defray the debt for him, if a brother is unemployed find some job for him. You come across a sister who has no feeding money, give some money. That is what you have to do but not to be destructively critical of the situation that she is poor and lazy, that she is fond of begging. Never you do it. Do only that which is good. That is your duty. God has not given any person the authority to judge any other person or to criticize or to condemn, He has not given any person the license to abuse, insult, and disgrace any person. But He has given us the license to do that, which is good in the sight of God. Whoever does what is good has brought about peace within the world.

WE LIVE BY DEEDS AND NOT BY WORDS
It does not serve any useful purpose for you to introduce yourself to people as a bishop, pastor, apostle, evangelist, an elder but it is rather useful for you to do good with a view to helping people. Were you a child of God, would you have been angry, would you pronounce woe on people? Were you a man of God, would you speak evil against any one or would you be exasperated with anyone?
Many people are fond of saying that they do not fear any person and if any person offends against them, they will rebuke him on his face. Do you think that if you show such courage and rebuke somebody publicly, you are doing the work of God? What has the scripture told you? It says: Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. God has not directed that you should oppress one who is with you neither has He said that you should abuse or curse him, nor to beat him up, nor to backbite against him, nor to criticize him. One who is a child of God and the practitioner of the word will always use the spirit of meekness, humility, patience, love, peace, lowliness of the heart to advise any sinner in order to salvage him out of his destruction. And to enable him overcome his difficulties and tread on the path of rectitude. If you express that you will only love those who love you and hate those who hate you, that is not the work of God.

MAN’S HEART IS THE SUM TOTAL OF HIS BEHAVIOUR
If you were a wise man, bestowed with intelligence, you would have trusted in and be a practitioner of the Christ’s injunction, which said love your enemies do good to them who despitefully use you and persecute you. Sometimes you opine that if it were possible to know what is in a man’s heart, things would have been different, what is in one’s heart? I want to tell you that a man’s character or sum total of his behavior is his heart. A person who goes about beating up people, insulting, criticizing, disgracing, quarrelling and fighting cannot be a man of God. But a person who unifies scattered group of people, pleads for peace, seeks for reconciliation and is peaceable with every man is a man of God, with the spirit of God. It is said if any person is overtaken in a fault, you who are spiritual use peace, spirit of meekness, patience, love, lowliness of the heart to restore him, but be careful lest you are also tempted.
The work of God is not to go about causing trouble and confusion, telling lies, deceiving people, insulting and disgracing them. The work of God is to be patient in tribulation. Rejoicing in hope, forgiving people their trespasses, not imputing sins, using the spirit of meekness to restore offenders to God their maker. Any good man of God will not plot evil against anyone, nor will he speak evil against any person nor impute sins upon any person. Brethren, I do not wish to take you further than this, our second lesson will now be read:

2ND LESSON: JAMES 3: 13
“Who is a wise man and endure with knowledge among you? Let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom”.

Brethren, can you observe the license, which God has given to us? God has given both you and I to do good work. But He has not given us the spirit of frivolity, or backbiting or quarrelling, or fighting, or insulting or criticizing. You go to somebody’s house and straight away you start criticizing him that he is maintaining his wife badly, he does not care well for his children because he beats them always and that he has not exercised patience for anything. Who has sent you to do that, is that the work of God? If you were wise and prudent, you would not have criticized or spoken evil but you would buy clothes both for the wife and the children. It is said that no man lights a candle and covers it with a bushel. Whoever is wise and prudent with understanding will demonstrate his good works. When some body offends against him, he will be very peaceful and tolerant.

OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD
Why we are taught the virtues of love, peace, truth, and patience is that we may use them to interact with those who are less fortunate than ourselves. Many people in this world who have not been endowed with the Holy Spirit find it difficult that an ordinary human being can wear the armor of these virtues. This explains why they find it difficult to associate with those who possess them. Since you have all been sent forth to evangelize the world, you are spiritual and have to use these virtues in winning them first to yourself and then to God. You cannot use fire to quench fire. You can only use water to put out fire. In the same token, you should not be overcome with evil but you should overcome evil with good. If you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not and lie not against the truth for that wisdom does not descend from above but is earthly, devilish and sensual. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, and then peaceable, gentle and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits without partiality and hypocrisy.
Many people argue that they quarrel and fight for the sake of the Leader. This is erroneous. You do not fight and quarrel because of Brotherhood or the Leader but because you do not believe in God, neither do you know what is right before God. What did Our Lord Jesus Christ tell the women of Jerusalem who were crying and wailing? He said, “Daughters of Jerusalem weep not for Me but for yourselves and your children. For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?”
If in a certain place there is trouble, stealing one another’s’ property, sisters seducing others husbands, and husbands eloping with people’s wives, when a man of God arrives at such a place, he must bring about some settlement and reconcile the warring faction. This is the work of any man of God. You are not told to go to a Bethel and constitute yourself into a court and become a judge over it to try people. Why you are sent out is that you should go and show by practical demonstration, how to practice the words of God to those who cannot practice them. When you go out you have to teach them exactly what you have been told to do. Our Lord Jesus Christ commissioned His disciples saying: “go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” My duty and our duty is for us to go out to teach people exactly what we are shown in this New Kingdom of God.
Whoever cannot do any good thing has nothing to boast about because he has not done anything and therefore has nothing to say or boast about. God does not take pleasure in the death of an evil man. God does not wish that you tempt your brother and then go about reporting him to others. God is not slack concerning His promises, but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

EVERY PERSON SHOULD PROVE HIS OWN WORK BEFORE BOASTING
Do not boast on the achievement of your father or your church, or what your family has done to God, but boast on what you have done to God. Some people boast that Brotherhood is power but they themselves have never boasted of their power of prayer and healing. Others boast that there is much love in Brotherhood but they themselves have never done any good thing. They have neither refrained from falsehood, fornication, theft, and idolatry, what is their boast? It is said let every man prove his own work and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone and not in another. Paul boasted in his achievements. Our Lord Jesus Christ boasted also in His achievements. John the Baptist boasted in his own work. They did not boast or have rejoicing in another man’s achievements, by refraining from all acts of sin, by not imputing sins upon others, by not hating or begrudging, quarrelling and fighting with others. Right now, you are still fornicating, stealing, drinking, eating meat, snuffing, retaining your membership as a secret society, you fight and quarrel, impute sins and commit many other vices, what will you boast of? If you profess to be a man of God but you steal, fornicate, worship idols and yet you are at regular attendance at worship and people acclaim you as somebody who practices the word of God. Is that assessment correct? How do you assess yourself? Sometimes you are secretly indulging in the preparations of concoction or hiding in the room to drink and fornicate but acclaimed to be very religious, is that a correct assessment of your behavior?

GOOD WORKS EXALTED OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
Our Lord Jesus Christ did the work of God, and so God exalted Him and gave Him a name, which is above every other name. Do you have anything to boast about? When you shout upon the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, do you derive any benefit? Since you used the name Jesus in your prayers, how many good things have you done? Do not boast in what your father has done or in what your child has done, or boast in what Moses, David and Christ did, but boast in what you can do. Do you remember what Our Lord Jesus Christ told the women who said, blessed is the womb that bore you and the pap which you sucked? Our Lord Jesus Christ replied, it is rather more blessed to those who hear the words of God and practice them. The golden text will now be read:

GOLDEN TEXT: GALATIANS 6: 4
“But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another”.

Brethren, have you heard that? You have not refrained from any act of sin, you do not believe in God, but the whole world acclaims you as the child of God, would you appreciate such a complement? You are still fornicating and stealing and telling lies but you rise up to testify that you have refrained from fornication and theft and falsehood, are you deceiving yourself or are you really righteous? Have you ever seen a preacher or any other person confessing on the pulpit that he is a drunkard, a snuffer, a fornicator, a liar, a necromancer, a thief, and a member of a secret society? The church denominations preach to their members that they should do what they preach and not what they actually do. Who preaches that type of gospel? Our Lord Jesus Christ said, learn of Me for I am meek and lowly in heart. Emulate My example and walk according to My footstep, as I love you, ye also love one another. When Our Lord Jesus Christ wanted to wash the disciples’ feet, Peter objected to His washing his feet but Christ told him, if I do not wash you, you have nothing with Me. If He did not wash his legs, how would He have told him to go and do likewise to others?

PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH
As you are, you have no love, you are not truthful, patient, humble and peaceful but you advise somebody to be humble, truthful, patient and peaceful, from whom will they emulate the example, how will they keep these injunctions in as long as you do not keep them. You are aware that you preach what you are. When you mount the pulpit and preach to people that they should not steal, fornicate, drink tell lies, you are telling them that you do not commit these offenses again. If you do not break any of them again, they will learn from your examples and your sermon will be effective.
Why you remain in the church denomination and cannot practice the word of God is that they preach to you to do what they say and not what they do. You are a born Presbyterian, your parents have no good qualities, even if you remain there for hundred years, you will have nothing to boast about. You have been a Brotherhood but you continue to steal, fornicate, indulge in the preparation of concoction and tell lies, what will you preach?

IT IS ONLY ON THE FATHER THAT ALL BOAST
Let Me tell you one thing, you can only boast in the Father, you have no boast of your own. Have I seen somebody practicing the word of God? What about you: I want you to boast in your work. There is no person who can preach. What will you preach, as you have not refrained from sin? You always tell people that they should follow you to see somebody who can preach and practice the word of God. But it is said every person should boast in his own work not in the work of another person. The main reason that you bring people to see the Father is that you cannot boast of anything because you steal, fornicate, tell lies, and indulge in preparations of concoction. Since the Father alone practices the word, He is the only model people should follow, that explains why you direct people to Him, what about you? It is said each person should boast in his own work.

PREACH AND PRACTISE SO THAT YOU HAVE LIFE
Preaching alone cannot change any person but practical demonstration of what one preaches can change people. If you were a member of a secret society, you would indulged in the preparations of concoction, fornicated, drank, but when you come to the truth, you refrained from all the vices and then go about testifying to the people that you were a member of several secret societies. But now having seen the truth, you have denounced your membership of the societies, which you were an arch fornicator and womanizer, but now you have refrained from drinking and preparations of concoction. All those who listen to you who had been your friends would be convinced and you would have followers. Others who looked at you as a way-ward child would be happy to see you reform, they would also follow you to the Father. If the women who were in love with you come to your house, and you politely tell them that you have now become a Brotherhood. And you have refrained from fornication and warn them not to come to your house again; they would be so bamboozled that they will decide to follow you to the place of worship. I see that you people are doing what the Jehovah Witnesses are doing. They give testimony about the miracles wrought by Our Lord Jesus Christ. You also give the same testimony but you have nothing to boast of. Those who testify in this way are false witnesses because they did not actually see when Our Lord Jesus Christ wrought those miracles. We should boast in our own work and not in the work of Paul, Peter, John or Our Lord Jesus Christ. What is your boast? Have you refrained from fornication, idolatry, and all acts of sin? If you refrain from these vices, you have something to boast about.
I am again declaring from High Heavens that since 14th February 1942, I threw a challenge to the whole world if any person would succeed to ‘MAKE ME ANGRY’. This is My work I can boast of. What is your boast? You are advised not to steal, fornicate, tell lies, drink, and kill, but have you complied? I have gained total abstinence from all these vices. This is My boast. What you do and what you cannot do, I cannot boast for you.
St. Paul said, “And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now, they do it to obtain a corruptible crown but we are incorruptible. I therefore so run not as uncertainty so fight, I not as one that beateth the air. But I keep under my body and bring it into subjection lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a cast away” 1Corin.9: 25-27.
He also advised Timothy when he said I have fought a good fight; I have kept the faith. Henceforth, there is laid for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord the righteous judge shall give me at that day and not to me only but unto all them also that love His appearing. What is the use of being a Christ Student but still fornicate, you profess to be a pastor, you fornicate and steal and tell lies. Those who do not practice the gospel of God have nothing to boast of. Each of us should boast in our work not in the work of others.

Brethren, I do not wish to be tedious unto you. One stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise. Let those who have ears hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

Thank You Good Father.

“REFRAIN FROM IDOLATRY”

1ST Lesson: 1 Corinthians 10 : 7
“Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”

2nd Lesson: Romans 1 : 23-24
“And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves.”

Golden Text: Acts 7: 41- 42
“And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of Heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?”

Brethren, that is the theme of our revelation. This is also the cause of all the problems, tribulations, afflictions, poverty, sickness and death still besetting the inhabitants of the world. You may think that there is nothing wrong with idolatry, but I want to tell you that there is a lot to this sin. Right from the day you make unto yourself a graven image, an idol and bow down to worship it, that marks the beginning of all your woes and sorrows.
From the day you initiate yourself into any secret society, God abandons you and that is the beginning of your sorrows. Right from the day you go to consult with a sorcerer, God forsakes you and you are visited with the wrath of God and death. Your problems starts from the day you receive a ring or talisman or amulet for one reason or the other.

HAVE NO OTHER GOD BEFORE JEHOVAH GOD AND HIS CHRIST
What has brought about the prevailing conditions in the world – wars, fornication, lies, hatred, division and quarreling is the sin of idolatry which you do not regard as serious. And God says I am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the father upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.
The gospel of today is that you should have no other God. Whether it is in the form of ring, leaf, gourd, chain or mask, you should not accept. If you are told that the charm is for protection against thunder, do not accept. It is God who is everything. You may be told to bury certain preparation in the ground, do not bury anything, do not comply with any such instructions, and do not believe in them. That is what separates man from God. It is the greatest offence in the sight of God.

IDOLATRY DESECRATE MAN
There is nothing that has defiled the world, man, family, house, and community, as idolatry. It is the greatest sin in the sight of God. Unto this day, the inhabitants of the world have refused to disentangle themselves from diabolical things. This is what has brought about the spiritual war and you see what will happen to all those who do not refrain from diabolical things. You should not doubt what would happen to the world.
You have no husband, wife, money and house. These are no problems. What about all these preparation of concoctions and amulets and rings and talisman you have? The moment you forsake all these things, you are free. If you like you can try it right now today. Forsake all your diabolical things and whatever you have for protection or prevention. Do not believe in diabolical things again, and you will realize that all your problems and afflictions, sicknesses and wants and all your sins are taken away. You will then have a straight record with God and your name will be written in the Book of Life.

ABSTAIN FROM ALL APPEARANCES OF DIABOLOGY
If somebody gives you a rod, do not accept it; God is not a rod. If you are given a handkerchief, do not accept, because God is not a handkerchief. God is not a piece of wood. He is not a stone. He is none of these things. But God is spirit, He is truth and love and life. God is the Father.
Do not believe that there is any other thing that can save you. There is nothing that can save you apart from God. I am telling you this with all boldness and that is why when a stranger comes here, I have to take him into every nook and corner of the Vestry to prove to him that there is no earthly power here. The moment you have a little diabolical thing whether book or ring, I have nothing to do with you. Do you know that the worldly people do not know God? If they were to know God, they would not refer to Brotherhood as Beelzebub or ghost or mermaid. They would not say that there is something underneath it.

DIABOLOGY LEADS TO OTHER SINS
You will see somebody who was not a fornicator, drunkard or a liar; but right from the day he goes to acquire a ring or a talisman for protection, he becomes a fornicator, smoker, drunkard, and liar; and he begins to indulge himself in every form of sin. He is easily given to anger. You can see the price of idolatry. This is the recondite wisdom for all the whites and blacks.
You cannot refrain from telling lies, anger, stealing, and greed until you forsake idolatry. And as long as you continue to have other gods you will fornicate and drink and steal and tell lies until you are sorry for yourself. That is why you are given this instruction today that we should not be idolaters as those of old were, who were destroyed.
Whether it is juju, mermaid, tree or rock rebuke them because they are nothing. You affirm that of course, they are nothing but all the same, you still have the ring on your finger and you console yourself that you cannot see how it defiles your body. The body is not yours but the Lord’s. Why do you put on the ring or talisman then? You cannot tell me that you are just putting it on for show. The moment you keep any such thing, all sins and evils will converge in your body because God has left you.

SINNERS AND CRIMINALS PROTECT THEMSELVES WITH CHARMS
All the sins that are in the world are brought about by idolatry. There is no robber who does not prepare charms. All those who commit other sins, fornicators and liars, all indulge in diabology. Necromancers, thieves and other sinners are given to idolatry since it is God who has given them over to this abomination because they refused to know God. That is why they die by the roadside and are eaten by beasts.
The first condition in Brotherhood is that if you have initiated into any secret cult like the ekpe, ekpo, and obon or into any secret society as amorc, ogboni, freemasonry, you have to deny them completely, otherwise you have no share in this kingdom. Christ has said that every plant, which my Father did not plant, will be up-rooted. You can see how this is manifesting today. Charm-diggers are digging charms everywhere. When they come to your house, they will dig out everything, which does not give glory to God, from the earth, waters, in America, India, Russia and everywhere.

IDOLATRY IS AN ENEMY OF GOD
The sin of idolatry is the last enemy of God and it is what defiles man. It is what separates man from God. It is Lucifer who has introduced drinking. He is the person who has introduced idolatry and he is at the head of all diabolical means. These are what defile the world. And right from that time, the Holy Spirit will desert you and you are at the mercy of death, hades, afflictions, tribulations, sickness, lack of peace and joy. You are neither alive nor dead. It is written that except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain who would built it, except the Lord keep the city, the watchman watches but in vain. Who is it that can protect you, who is it that can build you up except God? He is the one who builds us. He lives inside you. He is with you and walks with you.

BROTHERHOOD IS FREE FROM DIABOLOGY
I have told you that this is not a long gospel, but it is the truth and is always bitter and the worldly people will lament over it. So I will not take you further. But go and investigate into the churches and individuals one by one and see if you will not find one thing or the other which is diabolical in them. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is the only place where you cannot find any diabolical thing.
The world turns round to say that Brotherhood is apparition, beelzebub, and mermaid. Are they sane at all? Let our first lesson be read. If there is any among you still having his ring or charm for preventing thunder, forsake all of them because it is God who is everything.

1ST LESSON: 1 CORINTHIANS 10: 7
“Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”

All necromancers and idolaters, God has rebuked. You cannot sleep again; you see witches and apparitions. The angel has to pluck out your eyes and push you around because you are Gods but you bow down to worship a tree. It is a disgrace to God and right from that day, God has to hand you over to animals and insects to treat you the way they like.

DIABOLOGY SEPARATES MAN FROM GOD
You accuse Brotherhood of worshipping a human being and yet you worship trees, rings, rocks, leaves and water. You fall down before a shrine and ask it to save you. Is that not sinful? It was for this sin that God sent Elijah to come and destroy all the worshippers of Baal. That was quite a small thing compared with what is going to happen at this end of time to all idolaters. There is nothing that separates man from God as indulging in diabolical things, which you do not regard as sinful. These shaky things which you keep for your protection, that bring tribulations and destruction unto you. There is no sin that you will not commit the moment you indulge in idolatry and you will suffer in hell for it.

DIABOLOGY DRIVES AWAY PEACE
There is no native doctor who has peace. There is no sorcerer who has peace, there is no person who has ring, chain, rod or amulet who has peace. These are things, which hinder them. They are covered with darkness and their eyes are darkened because they are in hell fire.
Their works is to drink, kill, fornicate, smoke and indulge in every evil thing. You will tell lies even to yourself. You are angry at every little thing. You cause trouble and disgrace yourself before the young and the old because God has forsaken you. Have you not heard that outside the city are dogs, fornicators murderers, whoremongers, sorcerers and idolaters? Many of you ask why your brother does not come in here because he has love and is kind. It is because of the diabolical things he is keeping and worshipping which has stopped him from coming in here.
Man is a fearful creature. You can stay with someone in a house and he has a ring without your knowledge. He may tie some charm on his waist and even drink some but you do not know what he is doing. You do not know that he has certain charms with him. The moment you consult the juju doctor, you will neither see nor hear anything because God has forsaken you.

GOD ABHORS ALL DIABOLICAL THINGS
If you have no charm, you are one with God. You will have patience and love; you will not commit any sin again. But if you have even one charm, God will throw you away. You become a laughing stock. You will indulge in every sin in the world and every evil thing will visit you. That is why when you come to Brotherhood, the first thing is that if you have charms or some other diabolical things in your house, you have to forsake them completely otherwise you cannot remain here for long. After a week you will go back to your charms.
The moment you consult a sorcerer, right from that day disaster will strike. Whether you believe it or not, something evil will happen to you. This is to prove to you that God does not appreciate anything diabolical. Some people complain that they have been in Brotherhood and have not benefited from it. If you are a Brotherhood why do you have charms in your house, why do you consult with necromancers, why do you seek protection from these things? Do you not know that God does not like these things? Do you not know that these things bring destruction and death and all the sufferings in the world?

CHARMS CAN SAVE NO MAN
It is said that whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and for the sake of the gospel shall be saved. Brotherhood, which has nothing diabolical, has been a terror to the whole world. They argue that it is beelzebub, ghost, mermaid and every evil thing. But they who are all these things are languishing in sorrow and pain while Brotherhood is rejoicing. The surprising thing is that if you tell your father or mother or brother or uncle to forsake charms, they will ask if you want them to be killed by witches. He will ask if you have not seen how numerous his enemies are. “If I come to Brotherhood will your Leader give me something for protection?” They will ask?
Right now you are not using anything. You do not receive injections and you have no charms. When you tell them this, they will not believe you. They continue to say that there is something in your pocket, and around your waist, in your mouth; and that he cannot afford to go without something. If you do not forsake preparations of concoction, mermaids, juju and all similar things, you cannot have peace, when you forsake them you have peace. What has made you wretched is that ring, talisman, that charm you have buried inside your house, the one you have injected into your body, and these are the things that have made you wretched. It is what has brought about all your sufferings. From the day you gather these things and throw them away, you have all that you lacked plus eternal life. You say you are jobless and so you prepare charms so that you may have a job. You will not have any. You indulge in charms so that you may have a car or that people may love you, you will not have any of these things. If you rather forsake these things and pray to God, you will have promotion and people will love you and you will have everything. That is the order of things.
God does not want the world to perish at this end of time. I am standing in the Highest Heaven and declaring to all those who have idols of one kind or the other, to forsake them completely and make peace with God because this is the time for peace. Otherwise the destruction that will visit you will be terrible. This is a spiritual warfare waged by the Holy Spirit. Some of your problems emanated from the rings and amulets and charms, which you have acquired. It is not that there is anything in this, but is just that God does not like them and that is why you are beset with all these problems.
You have heard that God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden and from that day, they suffered all forms of afflictions and tribulations. So it is with every one who is an idolater. From that day you indulge in idolatry you have to suffer want and all forms of sickness and afflictions. But as soon as you forsake them, your way will open and you will see God face to face and find peace in your life.
Heaven and earth and their fullness belong to God. What belongs to God also belong to His children. Why then do you continue to suffer? It is because you have forsaken God and have gone to bow before rocks, trees and streams. You prepare food for these things and ask them to save you. It is for this reason that God has forsaken you. It is because of all the abominations that you have committed, you lie with your sister, and you kill and tell lies and indulge in all evil things. It is for these reasons that God has forsaken you. Let our second lesson be read:

2ND LESSON: ROMANS 1: 23-24
“And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves.”

When you go to the juju doctor’s house, when you visit the occultist and the mystic you will find woods and masks and rings and chains and diverse sorts of objects, and I ask what are in these things? What are they? You will be told that the ring is for a certain purpose, the talisman is for protection, and oil is for good luck. The necromancer himself is overwhelmed with darkness and this has been the source of all the sorrows, lamentation and woes which visit the world.

TO ESCAPE THE WRATH OF GOD, FORSAKE ALL DIABOLOGIES
It is for this reason that we are looking for a virgin land where we can settle down; separated from the world because the entire world is polluted. We will build our own houses in that forest. Even if it means living in the uncleared bush for sometime we will accept it, as long as we keep off from the pollution in the world: because you cannot convince the world even by going from city to city, to forsake these diabolical things. In the throne of King or chief, you will find a mask, charm or one thing or the other. They are so used to it that they cannot forsake it.

WARNING AGAINST INDULGENCE IN DIABOLOGY
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind to do those things, which are not convenient. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie; that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
As the last warning to all of you, as a final opportunity given, you are warned this day to throw away all your charms and rings and talisman and diabolical things otherwise the spiritual war which the Holy Spirit is soon to start will not augur well with you. It is said do not be afraid of the lions because they have been chained. There is neither juju nor charm; there is neither mermaid nor concoction and there is neither ghost nor apparition. Fear not, for people merely use them as means of their livelihood. They use them in deceiving you. But there is no diabology. They will keep a carved doll and order with a chart that it should do certain things. They prepare another one and call it “Mama” and another one “Akpan”, they will tell you that these were what protected your forefathers: it is a lie. The moment you accept them, you are covered with darkness. God will forsake you to all forms of afflictions. Thieves will break into your house. Hunger, sickness and all forms of problems will visit you and you will attribute these to charms. There is nothing like charms. It is your belief in idolatry that has brought about your downfall.

THE WRATH OF GOD
If you were not really a sheep, the testimonies given to you by juju doctors, sorcerers, necromancers and mermaid priests would be enough to convince you that apart from God, there is nothing like preparation of concoction, juju or charm. You are separated from God and you are beset with sickness, lack, poverty, death, the day you accept and believe in diabolical things, God hands you over to all abominable deeds. Right now it is said; this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, I will put my laws into their minds not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers. I must have to destroy all these evil powers which prevail against you, so that you may serve the living God. The wrath of God is upon all necromancers and juju doctors, upon all who have rings and talisman and amulets. The wrath of God is upon all those who believe in these things.
Go and tell your father, brother or friend who believes in diabolical things that God is not a ring, talisman or an amulet. Tell him to forsake all such things because God is Spirit and He lives in us.

WHY PEACE ELUDES MANY PEOPLE
Our Lord Jesus Christ has said that at the end, the Son of Man shall send forth His angels, and they shall gather out of His Kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity. If you like go to Obubra, Ikom, Ogoja or Aqua-Ibom and listen to their testimonies because they have felt the impact of the power in Brotherhood. Very many of you would have been millionaires, you would not have been sick or in lack but for the rings, charms and preparation of concoctions which you have. Indulgence in diabolical things makes it impossible for good things coming your way. Heaven is here and hell is also here. Right from the day that you go to prepare one charm or the other for protection, you are thrown into hell. All those who forsake these things are in Heaven.
That explains why many people on converting into Brotherhood, confess that they have peace. This is because they have thrown away all their charms away all their charms and diabolical things which they acquire, many others confess that they cannot find peace. The reason is that they still worship juju and continue to have belief in diabolical things. That is why you do not have peace.

GOD APPOINTED MAN TO REPLENISH AND SUBDUE THE EARTH
Many come into Brotherhood and later on backslide into the world. This is because you have gone back to sacrifice unto the mermaids and juju. For this reason, you are being handed over to the hosts of Heaven. Whoever has forsaken the world and all the things in it should in no wise go back into these things because they bring tribulation and death. When you go to consult the sorcerer and when you indulge in the preparation of concoction, you are therefore not helping yourself; rather you are destroying yourself by such acts. There is no sin, which annoys God as someone worshipping juju, mermaids and things that are under your feet. You defile yourself when you do this. When God created man what did He say? He told him to be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and over the fowls of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth. All the creations are under the control and rulership of man. God did not tell man to go and be ruled by the tree. He did not tell man to bow to the wood or rock or stream.
You are the image and likeness of God. You are one with Him. That is why no other things annoy God as man putting on a ring, chain or carry a rod or talisman with the belief that these charms have power. Practicing the lessons imparted to you does not imply bowing down to worship anything. We are only concerned with practicing the Word of God and you are free. From the day you forsake the Word of God and believe in your heart that there is witchery and juju, you are overwhelmed with darkness. You are given over to the angels for punishment.

TO THE PURE, ALL THINGS ARE PURE
“I know, and I am persuaded by Our Lord Jesus Christ, that there is nothing unclean of itself. But to him that esteems anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.” In the same vain, there is no juju, mermaid, apparition or charms except to the person who believes that these things are existing. Think about this: Who has made the stones, the trees, the angels and everything? It is God who made everything. And where is God? He is right here on earth. Who is greater – Is it God or His creations? You can now see your nakedness?
Do not be deceived by any person who claims that he acquired power from America. Tell him to go away with his power that we do not require it. Do not allow any person to deceive you again. Right from the day you receive a ring, or bottled preparations of concoction, observe yourself and you will realize that you have met with destruction. All the things we count for wisdom and foresight are what have brought destruction unto us. If you had come into Brotherhood as fools, when you were told to forsake all your diabology because they do not exist, if you had complied with this, you would not have had any problems.

ABIDE BY THE INSTRUCTION TO THE CHARISMATIC LEADER
I am your Leader and I use the truth to execute judgement. I use the truth in waging war; I am on the top of the palm tree telling you that the fruit is not yet ripe; but you stand on the ground and argue that it is ripe. Now the inhabitants of the world are calling Me juju, ghost, apparition and beelzebub. But there is no scratch or incision on My body. I do not believe any such things. Do you not realize that if you resemble Me, you will also be called the same names?
If you want to save yourself, God will forsake you but if you surrender yourself to God, He will save you. How can juju or charm save you when God does not protect you? Why do you not understand? Since you started consulting oracles and indulging in preparation of concoctions, what benefit have you derived?

THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS RENDERED DIABOLICAL THINGS INEFFECTIVE
Why is it that when you are told that there is a certain powerful man at such a place, you follow him? When you go around you will discover that all the diabolical things are dying away. In Imo State you heard about the priest of the ‘god of thunder’ now serving God in the bethel. Right from the day you indulge in diabology you have no faculty again, you are blind and everything in you is damaged. Your house is desolate because God has forsaken you. Let our golden text be read again:

GOLDEN TEXT: ACTS 7: 41-42
“And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of Heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?”

Have you seen the source of your mother’s problems? Have you seen the source of the problems of your father and community and society? Have you seen the kind of punishment they are suffering upon themselves? Go and ask any secret society member who has denounced all these things and you will realize the joy, peace and prosperity, which they have by forsaking these idols.

NO IDOLATER HAS PEACE
You will be told to bring goats and hens and drinks. You will be told to buy certain things so that they may prepare you a certain charm. These are the things that bring wretchedness to you forever. There is neither juju doctor or society member who has peace. All of them are in hell fire. Do you not know what is called hell fire? That is why this warning is given to all men and angels not to worship whatever are created by man. Do not accept rings and talisman again. Do not go to somebody to double your money for you. All these are nothing but destruction. Have you seen what has been the cause of death? When you do these things, you are handed over to the hosts of Heaven. That has brought about death in the world.
When the Israelites asked Aaron to prepare a golden calf for them, they sacrificed to it, and God sent down angels to destroy them. Thousands died in the wilderness. That is the reason why death afflicts us. Your children are dying and you are dying. God has given you to the hosts of Heaven to deal with you as they please because you have forsaken Him to worship idols.
The time of foolishness is now gone. Go and tell your community, government, and company that all of them should seek after God and forsake all their idols. They were not created by these things but by God. The Holy Spirit has come to straighten what was crooked. There is no other power, which can rear its head. The Holy Spirit is in control of everything. Do not be afraid of anything. Wherever you want to go, you are free because there is nothing that can harm the children of God.

MAN FORSAKES GOD WHEN HE INDULGES IN DIABOLOGY
We have to thank the Father He has come in the power of the Holy Spirit to remove all the shaky things and whatever does not bring glory to God. Do not be deceived with flattery words, which lead to death. The Father has come. The Son has come. The Holy Spirit has come to fight with the powers of darkness. When you have pains on your legs, it is because you have gone and collect rings, talisman and charms from the juju doctor. You complain that you have been in Brotherhood but you have not found peace; do you actually look for peace?
You say that you have been in Brotherhood without having money; do you look for money? You say you have been in Brotherhood without deriving any benefits; do you look for benefits? Has God not told you not to bow to any graven image? It is a disgrace for a Brotherhood member to go to a necromancer for protection. There is no other power. The day you think of it, God forsakes you. Rather we forsake Him. Right from the day we indulge in diabology, we have forsaken God; He also hands us over to the hosts of Heaven.

GOD HAS CURSED ALL NECROMANCERS
Let us forsake juju, mermaid and concoctions and reverence the living God. Shedrach and his two friends refused to worship the golden image. They could not bow to any created thing. The reason that they were put into the fire was that they swore they would never worship anything made by man, whether stone or iron. The first and foremost thing, which we have to do, is that we should not bow down to anything created by human hands. Do not believe in them. Do not pour libation whether it is on your own or in your family. Do not think of it and do not have anything to do with them, because it is destruction.
God has forsaken all the necromancers and members of the secret societies. God has forsaken all those who have one form of protection or another. They are all in hell-fire. That is why suffering has been visited upon the children of men. It is disobedience and hardness of heart that has brought about the sufferings. They confess that they have never killed any person but that they have some rings for personal protection. What are you using the ring for? Is it the ring or God who created man?

Brethren, it is said that one stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. I will not be tedious unto you, those who have ears to hear, let them hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

Thank You Good Father

RELATING WITH CHILDREN

1st Bible Lesson: Luke 18:16-17
“But Jesus called them unto him and said: “suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of God. Verily, I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein”.

2nd Bible Lesson: Luke 9:47-48
And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him. And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

Golden Text: Luke 9:47-48
“And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their hearts, took a child and set him, by him and said unto them. whosoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me; for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great”.

The Comforter unveils the Truth
Beloved Brethren, this is spiritual nourishment that we are going to acquire this morning. It is nourishment that has existed from time immemorial in its prepared form and we are only going to partake of it. God admonition on the relationship between adults and children has been made known from time. I am therefore not going to tell you something new. As our Lord Jesus Christ said, when the Comforter come, He will not speak of His own authority, but will only recall all that had been said and clarify to you what may not, have been understood. Make no mistake today, to credit Leader Olumba Olumba Obu with the final authority on this subject. As we derived all that we do and say here from the scriptures.
You are our witnesses on this score; You will no doubt agree with me, that the whole process, can be likened to a school where children are taught, and later put to a test, as a means of ascertaining that they actually understood what they learnt. We here just revise what we learnt from the scriptures, as we come closer to the final days that are already here.

The reminder
My advice as we get closer and closer to these days is that God in His infinite mercy is giving you this gracious opportunity for revision so that if you never hitherto believed, you should do so. Go and tell the world therefore that the end of the world is drawing near. On this note, I feel it is incumbent to remind you of what God said about children; His relationship with children, and His regards for them .It is on this basis that God looks at the world as little children. That statement of our Lord Jesus Christ that the kingdom of God is like little children is not clear to the world, You are aware that the world is moving forwards. What is this progress of the world? It is the children who are born. What you have not seen, the little children will see; what you cannot do, the little Children will do and where you cannot reach, they will reach.

Parents Cruelty to Children
It is quite piteous at this end of time to observe how you curse your children, when you pronounce woe unto them, If you go to a person’s house and see how he treats his children, you marvel at it, because he treats them like beasts. Very many children as soon as they hear the voices of their parents would want to vanish because of fear. Some of them quake at the sight of their parents. Even a person who is not capable of fighting his equal will always wage war against his children at home. Even a fellow who pretends to be quiet here becomes a talkative at home with his children. Most people who claim to know Jesus apppear to be very cruel with their children.

Children are innocent
Brethren, it is not easy to know how to bring up children. We should think very seriously about this because our attitude towards children leaves much to be desired. Children need to be studied and cared for. They just come into the world in innocence, and do not know what is in the world. They are all like tombstones. If you want to know the nature of children, compare a newly born child with a goat, sheep or calf, it does not understand, it looks blank. We do not know that our trouble is based on the fact that we fail to know how to get on with children. You only ask God to give you children, but you do not know how to bring them up in the fear and knowledge of God. If I tell the task involved in caring for and bringing up children, you will realise what great task you parents have. Among the whites, one who is a millionaire is satisfied with a lone child, because his preoccupation is how to bring up that child in a proper way.

Show Good Example
It is not difficult to rear children; rather what is difficult is how to nurture them in the knowledge of God. The trouble of many parents arises from shabby and maltreatment they mete out to their children. You complain that your child is useless and is not worth anything. You also complain that your children do not know God. Who is responsible for this? You are the cause; it is due to your useless attitude. Name any person whose parents do not know God, and they grow up to know God, and got related to Him, and I will tell you many people from the Bible who followed God from the good examples of their parents. What you sow is what you reap.
To bear children should not be our first duty on earth, but rather our duty should be to lead a life of righteousness acceptable to God. However, in your cases you begin with going to soothsayers, necromancers or consult oracle and mermaids, drink concoctions and wear charms in order to get children. What will become of these children when you get them through such means? You do not want to know God, you do not love; you steal, fornicate, curse, abuse and call people names. If you lead this type of life, what will become of the children you want to bear. You want money, cars, ships, houses and many children, but you do not want to know God and keep His commandments. You do not want to know anything about goodness, nor do you want your children to know and appreciate the way of God. What will be the fate of the children you crave to bear.
Do you know that all your blessings come from your children and the blessings of your children derive from your pattern of life, so that the symbiotic type of life of parents and children has much influence on the shaping of the life of the children? Remember what our Lord Jesus Christ said, “suffer the little children to come to me, for such is the kingdom of God”. Then he called the children and blessed them. Little children make up this kingdom of God, but do you recognise them, and do you bless them and get them close to you to appreciate your life?

Bless your children
I do not mean blessing them with wealth when you build houses for them, buy new clothes for them and prepare delicious food for them, but you should bless them with the words of God. Bring them up in the fear and knowledge of God and teach them the way to righteousness, employing simplicity, humility and understanding. This is the greatest legacy you can leave for your children.
The Most Important Thing
Those who were here yesterday heard a story on a similar subject: the kingdom of God.
This is to show you that bringing up little children and making them responsible human beings is the most important things to do. The world depends on the children as the future generation. It is true that there are people who are bad naturally, it is also a veritable truth that the environment plays an important role in the moulding of a person.

What you sow is what you reap
Evil men are born as a result of what the parents have been doing. It is what they sowed for their children. The evil you committed comes back on your children. If you steal, your children will be taken to roguery. If you fornicate, they will take to fornication. If you indulge in witchcraft, concoctions or charms, they will take to be same indulgence. When you, therefore, procreate a child, that same blood of roguery or witchcraft will recur. If I should take you any longer, you would realise that all what happens came from our ignorance in the treatment of children.
Before we can have good children, we have to refrain from doing evil completely and be determined to do well. Instead of pronouncing woes, we encourage them. By so doing, they will become good children. You are true witnesses to the fact that no person speaks good words to his children, he has no regards for them, and he ignores them, and consoles himself by saying provided they live. What do they live for?

Children are like empty pot
The reason why our Lord Jesus Christ compared the kingdom of God with little children is that little children are like blank sheets of paper, and empty pots, and it is your job as a parent to fill the pot and write on the blank sheet of paper. What ever you fill in the pot or write on the paper will show in the adult life of the children. You are aware that babies when they are born, are motionless, you have to move them about; they must be moulded by parents as to the formation of the part of the body. Any mistake by the parents leaves permanent deformities in the children. Whatever comes out of the life of a child is what was put in it. God has made it clear that we should treat little children kindly. We should desist from cursing them, pronouncing woe on them, calling them fools and saying what they do to you will be done to them by their children. In short predicting their downfall. When you speak like this, what do you think your children will become? Why is a cow more knowledgeable than human beings? It is because when a cow delivers, it will use its tongue to lick and clean the body.

The Importance of Blessing
You have been hearing how parents bless their children. Blessing is important. Abraham blessed Jacob. If Isaac had blessed Jacob and Esau at the same time, there would have been no trouble. But instead of blessing Esau. He told him he had already blessed Jacob and that there was no more blessing. He added that Esau would be subject to his brother Jacob whereas it would have been simple to bless two of them for the sake of peace. As a result of this, Esau and his descendants became subject to Jacob. That is exactly what happens when you curse and abuse your children. When you pronounce curses on your children they are cursed.
Again, Jacob called his twelve children to bestow his blessings. He pronounced curses from the first son down until he got to Joseph whom he blessed lavishly saying. He would be wealthy, elevated high tower, wise, fruitful and many other good things and that all would be subject to him. Was it impossible for him to bless all the children? Who was the cause of the trouble? What is the cause of trouble in your family? Who is responsible for its lack of performing well? It is the curse you pronounce on children. What have your children done to you to prompt your ill treatments for them? You always remain with them with heavy hearts and long drawn faces whereas they do not know anything. You should lead, guide, teach, mould, and be a light unto them with smiles instead of being fastidious.
If your child is a thief you had been a thief. Whatever he has done he learnt from you. Why do you not use kindness, patience, and truth to rear them up in the knowledge of God? By so doing you will remove the several curses pronounced on your family. As to the question of eating, most of your children do not eat from your plate and with your spoon. Which is greater? your child or your spoon? You do not allow your children to go near your bed, not to talk of their sleeping on it; you would not allow them to touch it. Is it how God has told you to treat our children?

Lead a Good Example
Instead of thinking of how you will lead a life of good example to the children, you go about stealing, fornicating, and indulging in preparing concoction, charms and consulting oracles before them. What type of life do you want them to live, when they grow up? God says: “I will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon the children unto the third and the fourth generation of them that hate me and showing mercy unto thousand of them that love me and keep my commandments”;
Think of how such a family will be blessed. Is the light of God shining in such a family? Now, one person has a hundred children, the hundred children bear one thousand, and the thousand, bear ten thousand and the multiplicity thus continue. What is the sense of having so many children without the knowledge and awe of God?
Which family was Sodom and Gomorrah descended from? Who were their great ancestors? Nothing happens without a cause, which can be traced. Sodom and Gomorrah descended from the first son of Noah. The descendants lived and multiplied into the city of Sodom and Gomorrah. The first son of Noah was cursed by his father. He went away, the descendants waxed in wealth and knowledge, and become prominent people who established the two cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Why did Noah curse the son? Because he saw his father’s nakedness, and laughed at him. If Noah had led a good life, he would not have been drunk, and would not have slept naked, and his first son would not have laughed at his nakedness.
This curse passed unto his children and his grandchildren. It was however, the second son who, when he discovered what happened covered the father’s nakedness and took him to a place of rest. Later on, when he returned to consciousness, he was told that the first son laughed at him, but that the second son covered his nakedness. It was because of this, that he cursed his first son. This is an example of “woe unto you” pronounced on your children. Noah cursed his first son, later the curse passed unto his descendants who were finally destroyed in Sodom and Gomorrah. Of what use was the destruction to Noah who pronounced the curse?

1st Lesson Luke 18:16-17
“But Jesus called them unto him and said: “suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of God. Verily, I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein”.

Parents’ Negligence of Children
Brethren, have you heard the lesson? Why do you bear a child and abandon him? Why do you impregnate a woman and when she bears a child, you run away from the child and the mother? Why do you bear children but later you drive them away, asking them who is their mother? Whose duty is it to care for a child, is it the mother’s or is it a joint responsibility of the father and the mother? Do you know that to reject a child is to reject blessings of God, life and all other good things? If you reject him do you know what the child will become? You, who commit abortion, do you know what the child comes to do or who he is – whether he is John the Baptist, Jesus Christ or Moses?
When pharaoh wanted to exterminate all Israelite male babies in Egypt, the mother of Moses, because of her love and humility, did every thing to save the life of Moses. If she had been negligent, and the infant Moses had been killed, who would have delivered the children of Israel from Egypt?

Parents are indebted to God
After the departure of the three wise men, the angel advised Joseph and Mary to take the child, Jesus, to Egypt because Herod was seeking to kill him if the parents did not obey the angel and the infant Jesus was killed. Who would have redeemed the world? We therefore have a responsibility for all little children.
You are indebted to God unless you nurture them up in the fear and knowledge of God. You have to teach, guide and love them, whether they are your own children or children of other parents. If you do this you will receive blessings from God.
Till today, many communities are still crossed about twin children and their mothers. They kill the children and their mothers. And some say that they do not want two babies, why? But for the timely arrival of the Christian Missionaries, who would have rescued the twins and their mother? Today some of these twins have become prominent persons in the society.
You who deliver a number of children and abandon them with their dad, and run away in favour of prostitution, thinking that you want the father to suffer, where are you going to? When you abandon them you cannot receive the blessing of God. Because of such attitude, the children suffer. Some parent who have separated, adopt the attitude of throwing their children from father to mother and vice versa. You do not know you are torturing the children who themselves have come in the likeness of God.
This gospel is not a simple one that one can easily understand and practiced, especially when it comes to the question of proper care for children. Look at a situation where mothers were taking their children to our Lord Jesus Christ for blessing, but his disciples prevented them and ordered them to be taken away. Unless you begin to change your attitude towards children, things will never be good in the world.
Here is an illustration: “There is a huge tree, which needs to be cut down, and you have an old blunt axe as well as knives which are no more useful. You are like these blunt implements. When God sends these little children, who are like sharp axes and knives, capable of cutting down a tree”; you reject them and ill-treat them; can you realise your foolishness? The word of God is preached to you, to enable you know how to get about with little children, how to nurture them when they are growing up and at different times. It is only when you know them that you are able to bring them up in the fear and knowledge of God. You say you want to serve God, and that if you were to see God that you would do everything for Him, the little children sent to you are the likeness of God therefore whatever services you would have rendered to God, had you seen Him render unto these children. If you want to prostrate to God, prostrate to these children. If you want this world to be good, you have to get along with children, with good attitude. Do not curse them, always bless them, be simple, tolerant, loving, show mercy and peaceful attitudes. Use humility to lead them to the type of life God wants them to live.

Parents should provide for their Children.
Realise that whatever you do to a child, he will grow up with that? If you beat, curse or torture him, he will apply the same attitude. And when he becomes a parent, he will apply the same attitude. If we continue with such attitudes, when do you think the world would be reformed? Is it the small that should bless the big, or the big that should bless the small? Is it the son who should minister unto his parents, or the parents who should minister for the son? What have you done for the children to warrant your abusing them every day? Is it because you regard them as defenceless and that no person would ask you any question? Most of the times, you abuse your children because you feel they have not sufficiently provided for you. What have you done yourself upon all the blessings of God? Are you not ashamed of yourself when you cannot provide for your children you turn around to ask the children to provide for you? It is not the children who should provide for the parent but the reverse should be the case. Where would the children get these things from in order to supply to the parents? If you serve and provide, you will receive blessings from God. These are the children of God, the Christ of God; they therefore need to be cared for properly. From now on do everything as if you are doing to God. . What ever you do to a child are done to God and this goes with blessing.

Stop Maltreating Children
The father of Abraham did not know that his son will become the father of many nations Was he himself the father of many nations? When the mother of Moses delivered Moses, did she know that Moses would be the person to deliver the children of Israel from Egypt? When Mary delivered Jesus, did she know that Jesus would be the Christ, Messiah, and the supreme Ruler of the universe?
I cannot enumerate all the good things, which have been done by men born of parents. We should help the children, supply what they lack. The attention of the parents should be focused on nurturing of children, speak well of them, care for them, provide for them, whether you know them or not, whether white or black. It is only in this way that you can be blessed. Do not order them about, harsh them up. Do not starve them and do not be difficult with them. The whole world should stop maltreating children!

Golden Text Luke 9:47-48
“And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their hearts, took a child and set him by him, and said unto them. whosoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me; for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great”.

Have you heard that lesson? You are now looking for God in the sky and Jesus to come down from the clouds. What about the children in your midst? Do you receive them, and are you happy with them?
The whites have gone very far from the blacks in this direction. A black man may go to the Western world and stay there for ten to twenty years, and may come back as a typical black man. Because he fails to imbibe the western world’s attitude towards children. Our Lord Jesus Christ said that any person, who receives him, receives he who sent him. Have you accepted Christ? You have always driven away the children who come to you. Sometimes children are very much surprised at the way they are beaten by the parents; you beat them up and say that they should die if they want to die. You complain that your child does not respect you. Do you respect your child? Who would respect the other? Don’t you hear that the three wise men travelled all the way to worship the infant Jesus? Do you respect and accept children? Our Lord Jesus Christ was a child. If you do not accept these children as the kingdom of God you cannot enter into it. Have you ever shown those monstrous eyes, which you show to your children to your equal or do you do this because you feel that they have not got any person to protect them? Is it evil for a visitor to come to your house or is it evil for a brother to call at your house and give you solace?
Do you know that these children are definitely sent to help you, put right what was wrong and to amend the mistakes you have made? You say that luck has run out of you. Have you ever wished your children luck?
We should now ponder over these questions and retrace our steps and show better attitude towards our children, because they are greater than we are. They are great prophets and Apostles of old who have now reincarnated. They are greater, see better, think clearer, and are purer than our selves. If you are not as pure as they are, you have no share in the kingdom of God. Now that you call him names, has he ever followed you to fornicate, to steal to drink? They do not know anything; they are as harmless as a dove. Why then do you oppress them and blame them? Are you not the person who taught them how to steal, fornicate and tell lies? You take them to soothsayers, and juju doctor, you direct your daughter to meet with a man. If she refuses you curse and disown her. You ask her to tell lies. When she refuses, you drive her away from your house. You teach the children all the evils they commit left for them alone; they would not hurt a fly.
If you were a rogue, you have to forsake stealing and live a life expected of you by God The children are sent to you in order that you may care for them, you should therefore try to care properly for them.
In this kingdom, many people claim that if it were in their youthful days they would have done this or that. Now that you are old and are weighed down with your sins, what about these little innocent ones? Would you not give them the chance to perform, by nurturing them well? Let us re-examine the golden text.

Christ, the Friend of Little Children
Brethren see what God has revealed to show you that God loves little children. In your house, you do not allow children to come, you always drive them away, saying that you do not want them to soil you or your house. Our Lord Jesus Christ advises us not to forsake the little ones, because the kingdom of God is like them. What lesson has our Lord Jesus Christ now taught us? If our Lord Jesus Christ went as far as knowing and recognising little children, holding them up and blessing them, then every person should be aware of the significance of blessing children. That blessing bestowed on little children by our Lord Jesus Christ has passed on to all children in the world till today our Lord Jesus Christ is the friend of little children, He walks with them, converses with them, sings with them and blesses them. Let us emulate the example of our Lord Jesus Christ by feeling free to talk to children, eating with them singing and conversing with them.
Do not worry yourself by having many children, and not being able to care for them, but be rested with having a few children and caring well for them in the fear and knowledge of God. It is wrong to say no child, what about all the children around?
Who owns them? They are the children of God if they are God‘s children they are your children. Therefore you should care for them, whosoever wants children is foolish and whoever wants many children is equally foolish, but any person who cares for children, serves and ministers unto them is great in the sight of God.
The whole world should love little children care for them, nurture them, in the fear of God in this way you will bring up a generation of good people.
It is foolishness for one to say the children of nowadays are senseless or useless. If they are senseless or useless, it means their parents are senseless or useless. It is a reflection of parent’s attitude. The reason why John the Baptist is great is that Elizabeth his mother was a lady devoted in the service of God, and his father Zacharias was a high priest. The union of the two brought about the greatness of John.

Why was Christ born of Mary? It was because Mary was a virgin who served God diligently, and Joseph was also devoted in the services of God. It was because of Mary’s chastity and devotion that she became the mother of the Son of Man, Son of God Christ the Messiah and the God incarnate. If it were you, you would have caused Mary and Jesus to be killed, because it was a law that any woman betrothed to a man who becomes pregnant without her husband’s knowledge should be killed. Who is that man to whom a beautiful girl is given in marriage and who has no intimate knowledge of the girl, but finds her pregnant and would not cause a lot of trouble or divorce her? We are told that Joseph was making secret plans to divorce Mary, but the angel of the Lord warned him, that she was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. If it were today, even if the angel warned you, you would do away with the woman. This is to demonstrate that Joseph was devoted to God and because of that our Lord Jesus was born unto him.
There is nothing you can teach little children, but do not look down on them, look on them with mercy, with tolerance, with patience and with respect. The whole world should live properly with children. We should speak well to them, act well and think well about them. Let us pray God to use children for the original purposes he intended to use them.

Brethren I do not want to take you on a long and winding course. Those who have ears to hear let them hear. May God bless His Holy words, Amen.

Thank You Good Father

EVERLASTING BIBLE LECTURE GOSPEL DELIVERED BY THE HOLY FATHER,
LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER AND SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE
(WHQ) BCS 34 AMBO ST CALABAR NIGERIA

SALVATION FOR THE RIGHTEOUS

TEXT OF DISCOURSE: ST. MATTHEW 25: 1 – END.

There is one major lesson, which this chapter gives and the thrust of this discussion is verse forty- six. (St. Matthew 25: 46).
“And these shall go away into everlasting punishment; but the righteous into life eternal”.

From the above excerpt, only one way leads to eternal life. Aside from this way, all other roads lead to perdition. The Bible Class is organised twice a week in order to expose you to the teachings of Christ. And any one who fails to practicalise the teachings imparted to him is bound to be led to perdition. We are enjoined to follow the narrow way instead of the broad way. The narrow way leads to eternal life while the broad one leads to perdition. Not too many people are of this narrow path which leads to eternal life. And those who are aware of this road misuse the opportunity. The laid down principle is that, all those who would be saved are those who abide and practicalise the teachings imparted to them by the Father and no matter how numerous those who shun the teachings may be, they all would be destroyed.
Do not think of how numerous the inhabitants of this world are and do not think of how small the number of those who practice God’s teachings are. Rather, note that no matter how small the number of righteous people and large the number of sinners, they will be saved and destroyed respectively. This is because the condition is that salvation is only for those who practice the word of God. Neither your power nor your knowledge will be able to save you. Destruction is the end of your evil deeds while eternal life is the reward for your righteous deeds. This explains why Christ has openly pronounced thus:

“While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. (St. John 17: 12).

If someone tells you that the unrighteous (those who shun the gospel) would be saved, do not believe him for such a person is a liar. A person who is unrighteous but decides to write the inscription O. O. O., all over his body, cannot be saved, rather, he would perish with the inscription on him. Read John 17: 10-12. No matter what happens, no sinner would be saved. The word of God is preached to you daily and ceaselessly, therefore, your failure to imbibe them will lead you to destruction. The theme of this discourse is that the unrighteous ones will be destroyed. For instance, ten maidens are said to have gone with their lamps, each to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. When the foolish ones took their lamps, they took no oil with them, but the wise ones took flasks of oil with their lamps. Think of it, are these five foolish maidens not those destined for perdition while the five wise maidens are those slated for salvation? The illustration above depicts the fact that it is the unprepared people who will be destroyed at the end of time. What we have been discussing thus far, has to do with judgement. That is what would happen to those who shun the teachings of Christ. Read St. Matthew 25: 40.

“And the King shall answer and say unto them, verily I say unto you, in as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me”.

What the Father has been doing all along is what the biblical excerpt has. You cannot see God physically, and so, the excerpt above enjoins you thus: ‘As you did it to one of the least of these brethren, you did it to me’. And this could be likened to a situation where a creditor enjoins his debtor to redeem his debt to some one else, say, his representative. And if you pay such debt to the said person (representative), it then means that you have settled your debt. But your failure to pay it to the said person means that you have contravened the instruction of your creditor as such, you are bound to have problems. Beloved, the shortest way to your salvation is what you have just heard as recorded in verse forty of our text of discourse. Read St. Matthew 25: 44-45.

“Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee ahungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them saying, verily I say unto you, in as much as ye did it not to one of the least of these ye did it not to me”.

Beloved, have you seen the difference between the verse forty and forty five of the chapter? The difference there is that, while verse 40 constitutes salvation, verse 45 constitutes destruction or perdition. The said verse forty- five is a broad path, which most people follow. Unfortunately, this path leads to perdition. Verse forty is the narrow path, which very few people tread. This path leads to salvation and eternal life.

SELL ALL YOU HAVE
The scripture enjoins you to sell all that you have and give the proceeds to the poor. Now, the question is how many people have been able to practice this injunction? Whatever a man does to a fellow man or to any other creature, he is doing same to God. And this constitutes the narrow path. The works that God can do through you is equally such works that God can do through the birds, fishes, trees, animals and the like. But the question is, did you know this fact before?

ILLUSTRATION- ONE GOOD TURN DESERVES ANOTHER
Once upon a time, there lived a king who wished to marry a wife. The woman in question who the said king intended to marry was so beautiful that many people by then sought her hand in marriage but all efforts proved abortive due to the fact that she did not find someone worthy of her hand. Because of the woman’s behaviour, the king was always in sorrow. There lived also a young man whose name was Charming. When this Charming saw how sorrowful the king was, as a result of the lady’s behaviour, Charming asked the king not to worry for he would influence the situation. Charming promised to talk to the woman to accept the king’s love. Charming then left for the dainty woman’s house, alone with his dog. On his way to the woman’s place, he felt like defecating. As such, he got inside the bush to ease the tension. While he was in the bush, he saw an owl, which was trapped. And since the owl was still alive, he (Charming) had to rescue it by freeing it from the trap and set it free. While Charming was still on his way to the pretty woman’s house, he became thirsty and went to drink water from the nearby stream. On arriving at the stream, he saw a big fish trying to prey on a small fish. He rescued the smaller fish by scaring away the bigger fish. After setting the smaller fish free, he left and continued on his journey. He did not know what all these things meant. That is why a local adage has it that, one who urinates in to the river does not know that if the relations from the mother’s side do not drink, the relation from the father’s side will drink it.

Charming was not related to the king in any way. But he decided to undertake such an assignment. When Charming got to the woman’s place, she was on her throne. The princess was informed about the presence of Charming and she asked him to be brought to her. When Charming was taken to her, he informed her and others in the palace that the king of his city wished to marry her. As such, he was sent to her by the king. The princess in response told Charming that she had a problem which was about a village which had a ghost which was always fond of killing the inhabitants of the village. And added that should Charming be able to go to that village to get rid of the ghost, she would accept the king for marriage.
The princess was not ready to marry anyone as at then. That was why she decided to give one excuse or another to her suitors. She created an uneasy task for her suitors. She knew that the ghost was daring, powerful and undefeatable. Besides, she knew that, the ghost had twenty heads. With that Charming would not be able to conquer it. Rather, he would be killed by the ghost. But Charming accepted to go to the village to fight this grotesque figure with his dog. He decided to take this risk so that the princess should marry the king, and so that the king should be happy. Immediately Charming got to the ghost’s territory, it raised an alarm that an enemy was around. While there, the owl he rescued from the trap saw him and accosted him twice. The owl reminded him of the time he rescued it from a trap in the bush and as such, it was ready to assist Charming in his mission.

As the grotesque figure moved towards Charming to harm him, the owl flew to the ghost and plucked out one of its eyes. The owl repeated his attack on the ghost the second time and left the ghost useless by removing the remaining eyeball. Thereafter Charming and his dog joined hands with the owl to attack the ghost. At the end of the fierce attack, the ghost was killed. Before then, the princess was at home rejoicing that Charming had been killed by the ghost. Without knowing that the reverse was the case. After Charming had killed the ghost, he took home the head of the ghost and handed it over to the princess. When the princess saw this, she was sorrowful because all her plans did not yield any desired result. Thereafter Charming requested her to follow him home as agreed but the woman refused and again set another task before Charming to accomplish, if he really wished to take her home.
The second task was that, Charming should go to a certain waterfall and fetch her water before she gives her consent to marry the king. The waterfall was demarcated by a very thick forest, which had all types of wild animals. But Charming and his dog did not mind the risk involved. So, they were determined and set out to fetch the water. On reaching the forest, they were confronted with several wild animals. But fortunately, they (Charming and his dog) were not harmed. While in the stream, the owl that helped him to kill the ghost reappeared from the forest and decided to fetch water from the stream for Charming. The water was a special one, which made anyone who bathed with it to be young and good looking. In order to rescue Charming, the owl collected the pot from Charming and went to the waterfall and fetched the water. Charming took the water to the princess and asked her to get prepared to leave with him for his city. But the woman disagreed strongly and again set another task before

Charming.
This time, she asked Charming to go to a certain river to collect ring for her. The river was very deep, and so, after the discussion, Charming took off with his dog to the bank of the river. On arrival, he met with the fish he had saved. The fish was surprised but happy to see him. The fish therefore decided to use that opportunity to reciprocate what Charming did for it. The fish then dived deep into the river and later came up with the ring that the queen was searching for and gave it to Charming. Note that this was the fish, which Charming had saved from being eaten by a bigger fish on his way to the queen’s place. Having given the controversial ring to the queen, she was exceedingly glad and had no alternative than to follow Charming to their land with all her belongings. And finally, the marriage was officially contracted between the king and the queen.

INGRATITUDE
This king was very popular and rich. After the marriage ceremonies, they settled down for marriage. At this juncture, something worthy of note happened. Whenever meal was prepared for Charming, if he was not there to eat, the queen would not eat. The king was suspicious and worried over this development and so, he queried the action of the queen. He concluded that there must be something fishy between the queen and Charming. But this was far from the truth. The queen merely loved Charming for the role he played in her marriage to the king. Not pleased with the extent of cordiality existing between Charming and the queen, the king ordered that Charming be bundled and put into the lions den alleging that charming had committed adultery with his wife. By the king’s words he was dumped into the lion’s den. While there, the queen still continued to send food through people to him. She did this because she acknowledged Charming’s contribution towards her marriage to the king; the risk he took and the patience and courage he had.

A MAN REAPS WHAT HE SOWS
As if the king was not satisfied with the punishment he meted to Charming, he poisoned and replaced the poisoned water with the only water available for the queen to drink, so that when the queen drinks of it, she would die. But as the Father would have it, the king himself unconsciously went and drank the poisoned water and died. After the death of the king, the queen ordered for the release of Charming from detention. Automatically, Charming became the queen’s husband. With this current development, Charming became the legal owner of all the king’s property. This goes to confirm the saying that the reward for God lingers on till it is received. You should realise that it is not fair for one to be tired in doing good.
Charming had no intention of marrying the queen; he had no intention of having an affair with her. But as God would have it, even though Charming did not have any mind of marrying the queen and could not dream about such a thing, as far as his status was concerned, his goodness placed him above every other person in the heart of the queen. The situation had willed him to be so. This confirms the truth that whatsoever a man sows that also shall he reap. (See Ephesians 6: 5-8)

THE LAW OF KARMA
If you have not started believing the word of God, start now. No goodness is lost. God has a way of rewarding those that show goodness to God and even to his fellow man. Do not do good things in the hope of being rewarded. Whatsoever evil you do to another the same, and even in greater measure will be returned to you. This is what is referred to as the law of Karma. Do not be afraid of doing good, notwithstanding your position on earth, a servant or master. Whatsoever you want to do you should do it heartily as to the Lord and not unto man. Note that you will receive the reward from the Lord. (Read Colossians 3: 22-25). No material wealth can bail you out of the reward of evil deeds. If you take delight in evil practices, you must receive the reward. And nothing can deprive you from the reward for good works if you take delight in goodness.
I keep warning you that you should not take delight in free gifts that you have not suffered for. Make sure that whatever you have is what you laboured for. After all, the goodness and evil of man live after him. Notwithstanding the risk involved in doing good, continue doing it, be rest assured that God will surely reward you for doing so. This is the will of God. If you do this, you show that you love God.
The world teaches you selfishness, strive and lust. Shun the world and its useless lust but hold fast to the love of God. It is a guarantee for everlasting life. (Read 1 John 2: 15-17). If you start now to practice true love as demanded by God, you will not have any problem any longer. Begin now to love all and wish every one well. Hating everybody at first calls for problems in your lives.
Charming of our story loved God and had his due reward but the king on the contrary, hated God and received his reward too. If you love man, it means you love God. If on the contrary you hate man, you have hated God. In summary, whatever you do to God’s creation, you are doing same to God. (Read Matthew 10: 40-42). Let it not be your belief that until you build a mansion for God before you could be said to have loved God. All God’s creations are God’s representatives; therefore one good gesture done to them is invariably done to God. It serves no useful purpose committing sin, rather, whosoever indulges in sin is enslaved to it, and cannot have eternal life. (See John 8: 34-35). Read Revelation 11: 18, 1st John 4: 20-21:
Did you know that by hating man you have hated God? Are you aware that you cannot have eternal life if you hate your fellow man? If you hate, you have condemned yourself. The only way out of this impending trouble is for you to repent now and plead for forgiveness, else, you will loose your soul to eternal destruction. Love is a guarantee to eternal life. Christ’s illustration attests to the fact that any good thing done to another person is invariably done to God. (Read Matthew 25: 34-40). For the reward of hatred and selfishness read (Matthew 25: 41-46). You should now realise that there is a commensurate reward of punishment for anything one does. Take particular note of the lesson derivable from the word of the scriptures recorded in 1st Peter 2: 17.
“Honour all men, love the Brotherhood Fear God honour the king”.
You are in danger if you give yourself up to be misled by the evil one to go contrary to this divine injunction. God does not punish you, neither do I, rather, God had set aside punishment for all that goes contrary to His teachings and eternal life as the reward for those that obey Him. You cannot get the true teachings of Christ elsewhere, except in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. And so, practice what you are taught for they qualify you for everlasting life.

THE WAGES OF SIN
Read Matthew 5: 39-42.
“But I say unto you, that ye resist not evil; but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away”.

Sequel to the excerpt above, God has never enjoined us to indulge in any sinful act. If we indulge in sinful acts, we are subjected to punishment. In fact, once one commit sins, he has perished. In the same vein, anyone who curses or says a bad word against a fellow man is in hell. The content of the above biblical excerpt is what you are taught. Therefore if you indulge in cursing and hating a fellow man on the reason that you are a child of Olumba Obu, you have yourself to blame for going contrary to the injunction of God. Because no matter who you are, so long as you are a sinner or evil doer, you are bound to be punished accordingly by God. It is the sin you commit that is responsible for your problems in life. No matter how minute your sin is, you are bound to be punished accordingly. (Read 2nd Timothy 2: 22).

“Flee also youthful lusts; but follow righteousness, faith, charity peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart”.

Let My peace and blessings rest and abide with the entire world, now and forever more. Amen.

Thank you Good Father.

SIGNS OF THE JUDGEMENT TIME

FIRST LESSON: MATTHEW 13: 49 – 50
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

SECOND LESSON: MATTHEW 25: 45 – 46
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

GOLDEN TEXT: REVELATION 11: 18
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

A WARNING TO EVERYONE

Brethren, this is to disclose to you openly that all that are happening are signs of the judgement time. The different stories you hear like; twenty vehicles being involved in an accident and all the passengers in the vehicles losing their lives; houses getting burnt, earthquakes and all the tragic occurrences are signs of the on-going judgement. Every man is being rewarded according to his deeds. This is the reason these texts are being read out to you, to serve as a reminder and warning to everyone for the judgement is no respecter of any man. Therefore, this is the end of time, the time of judgement, it is no longer the time to preach.

This is not the time for one to plead or advice one another to do that which is good; flee from evil because judgement is at hand already. If you forsake sin and do that which is good, you are saved, but if you fail to do good but cling unto evil, you have perished. For the scripture has it that; “Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” (Matthew 24: 34)

The time has come when the righteous shall be separated from the sinful ones. Therefore, whatever you sow, same shall you reap. Whatever you find within you is exactly what you are. Therefore, if you can use this opportunity availed to you to save yourself, to avoid perishing. This is no longer the time for anyone to play games, quarrel, fornicate, lie or exhibit stubbornness, now is the judgement time. The angels are all in readiness for the Armageddon war, when the unrighteous will be destroyed and removed from among the righteous, then the righteous shall be rewarded greatly according to their steadfastness. Whenever you hear that the old world is passing away with its lust and being replaced by the new world, it means that the old world is evil and the angels shall destroy all the wicked ones along with the old and evil world. All forms of lies, cheating, oppression, fornication, crime, fighting, shall all be wiped away. These vices are not required here because they are those things, which defile the world.

You may think that you still have some time to live the kind of life you desire to live and commit all kinds of sins you wish, but I AM NOW TELLING YOU THAT THERE IS NO MORE TIME. That is why you have been told that you should endeavour to do that which is good, because all those who do good shall have their reward. All those who do good shall have a good reward, all those who practise love will have the reward of love, all those who exhibit humility will have the reward of humility. Be you sane, insane or foolish, know fully well that there is no more time for anyone to commit sin because sin leads to perdition.

The only time left is for us to use and do only what is good, speak the truth at all times, refrain from sin and enter into the vineyard to work for God in order to save souls. All those who in the past have never received this Gospel should today receive it, all those who had in the past lacked love, should strive hard to exhibit it henceforth; all those who have indulged themselves in one sin or the other should use this opportunity to refrain from sins and be repentant, else they would be cast into the lake of fire. All that which was written about this end of time is what is now happening. As has already been read unto you; “So shall it be at the end of the world; the angels shall come forth, and remove the wicked from among the just. And shall cast them into the lake of fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth”.

Therefore, whatsoever thing you find in your life is as a result of your deed. For the angels have already been sent into all the nooks and crannies of the world to separate the sinners from amongst the righteous. Therefore, we are very fortunate to have had these teachings imparted unto us because a lot of people have not come to this knowledge. They have not realised that all the things that they see like, accidents, fire outbreak, theft, murder, are all signs of the judgement time. But you and I are fully aware of this time.

The scripture states that; But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. (Matthew 24: 43) . The scripture further advises thus; Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. (Matthew 24: 42).

Impart this message to your father, mother, family, friends, church denominations, governmental bodies and to the entire world at large, that the judgement time has come, therefore every sinner should refrain from all manners of sin. All the occurrences you witness daily are not the working of man, that is witchcraft, apparition, mermaid, charm or concoction; but it is the handiwork of the angels because they have been sent forth into every corner of the world to execute judgement, to destroy the wicked and cast them into the lake of fire and to lead the righteous unto their rest.

This is no time for one to sleep and relax, nor is it the time for one to keep late nights just to carry out evil operations; this is not the time for one to harbour evil thoughts, or engage in any sinful act. This is the time for us to strive hard towards righteousness in order that we might be saved. There is an Igbo rendition that says; ‘We are saved, we are saved, any one who did not know that before, now knows it.’ The children of God know that the end has come, the angels also know that the end has come but satan, the deceiver, says that there is still time.

But I am telling you now that there is no more time for now is the judgement time, the time for everyone to receive the due reward for their deeds, therefore we all have to work towards righteousness in order that we may be save. All those who have always engaged in one evil deed or the other like stealing, lying, stubbornness and, preparing concoction, should know that the time has come for us to refrain from all those things or else we stand to face perdition. This is no longer the time for carnal practises of man to man, but now is the time for the action of the angels, the time for the Armageddon war, because it is their place to separate the wicked from amongst the just. Every thing evil or unholy will be swept away by the angels, be it witchcraft, concoction, evil spirits, mermaid, they all will be swept away from the surface of the earth.

All those who have refused to submit to God, all those who have refused to believe in God, those who keep doubting God, and who have refused to practise the injunctions of God shall be swept away from the surface of the earth and into the lake of fire. This is what is already going on. That is why you keep hearing of cases of accidents, fire outbreaks, and many more. This is not the war of money, war of land, houses, war of studies, war of food, war of blood, it is no carnal war, but spiritual, which is fought by the angels to separate the wicked from among the just.

That is why you are being told to spread this message to all and sundry that all that they are seeing now, all that is going on now is as a result of the end of time. The angels are now battling with the wicked ones to wipe them off the earth’s surface, and all the righteous shall receive the due reward for their deeds. This is a golden opportunity and a time of great joy for the children of God who are the peacemakers, merciful, faithful, honest, meek, practitioners of love, charitable, those who fear God and practise His words. But for all atheists and evildoers, this is the time for anguish and great torment to be unleashed on them. If you should use this time to play games and go on committing sin, you would perish because the angels who are the messengers of God are no respecter of any man; they carry out God’s command to the letter. They are a threat to the evildoers, but not to the righteous.

FIRST LESSON: MATTHEW 13: 49 – 50
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

NO SANCTUARY FOR SINNERS

Brethren, have you heard that? It is said that an eye witness is a better narrator of the event. The end of the world has finally come. Be you a child or an adult, be you white or black, rich or poor, male or female; regardless of your status or race, once you are a sinner, you would equally be swept off into the lake of fire. There will be no hiding place! The only solution for you is to abstain completely from sin and do only that which is righteous. This is the reason why you have to disseminate this Gospel to all the countries, not only in the western world but to everywhere so that they also may be saved. Because all the cases of flood, plane-crash, war and all other things happening over there are as a result of judgement, the actions of the angels. Men of great wisdom, the self acclaimed wise men of this world, why is it that this wisdom of God has eluded them? Have you seen how God has brought the wisdom of men to nought? Your claiming to be a Roman catholic, a member of the Apostolic church, Presbyterian church or any fraternity is no criterion for you to be saved.

The only possible way to attain this salvation is to refrain from sinful acts, to put the teachings of God into practise, else you would as well be removed from among the just and be cast into the furnace of fire along with the rest of the things that do not bring glory unto God. The trouble in the world now is how to remove the wicked from the just. The liars, thieves fornicators, sorcerers, adulterers, unbelievers, the recalcitrant, murderers, oppressors and all kinds of evildoers have to be separated from the just in every part of the world and cast into the furnace of fire, then the righteous shall inherit the earth.

This war is not that of the man versus woman, it is not that of the whites versus blacks, it is not that of the poor versus rich, neither is it that of the churches against churches. The war is of the angels against the evildoers, those who have refused to submit unto God, those who have refused to do that which is righteous. It is the war of removal of all the unjust from the just. Do you not see the reason why all through the 365 or 366 days of the year I keep admonishing you? It is for you to know your position and save yourselves. Be you a child, be you an adult, make use of this opportunity and save yourself by doing good. Drop all forms of doubt, stubbornness, insolence, stealing and let go of your evil ways, strive to do what is righteous, so that you may be saved. There is no hiding place, the same stories repeat themselves everywhere, the angels have been put on guard everywhere; therefore, repent and save yourselves. Your appearing in white at all times does not help you. Your laying claims of being a Brotherhood is of no avail because this is not a case of Brotherhood, fatherhood or any ‘ hood’, you wish to say; but against the evildoers. Therefore, if you are a sinner, repent of your evil ways, turn from your evil ways and do good, else you will perish.

Tell it unto the bishops, archbishops, cardinals, popes, governors, presidents, judges, royal highnesses and all rank of people, that the execution of judgement exempts nobody; it is not a case of what status you have attained, but is against all evildoers. Therefore whoever is guilty of any evil deed will as well be swept into the lake of fire. God does not want the existence of the wicked among the just again, therefore the angels have been sent into the world to execute this, hence the calamities you witness. For all the wicked ones must be removed from among the just. All the sinners have no rest any longer. So long as they do not repent of their sins, they will perish; but if they become repentant and live a righteous life, they shall be saved. But for the righteous, they should be exceedingly glad for their time of joy has come and the time for their rulership has come.

You cannot be saved through your wife, child, mother, father, brother, sister, friend, or anybody, each man is saved by his own deeds. All the admonitions given to you is on how to forsake sin because you can only look for the black goat when night has not yet come. Be you a churchgoer or not, be you rich or poor, flee from sin and do only that which is good. Do not go to church to seek for money, wife, husband, child, wealth, cars, houses or anything, but go to church in order to repent and be righteous so that you may gain entrance into this Kingdom. Just as it was in the days of Noah, he preached for one hundred and twenty years but none hearkened unto him and when the flood came, it consumed them all. So also was it in the days of Lot (Sodom and Gomorrah) when God told them that He was displeased with their sacrifices due to their iniquities. When they appeared before Him, He hid His face from them. That He did not delight in their vain sacrifice; their incense had become an abomination to Him.

He said, “To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. (Isaiah 1: 11 – 20).

And they refused and the whole of Sodom and Gomorrah was consumed by fire. Our Lord Jesus Christ did say and I quote: Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. (Matthew 24: 35- 36). This is how the way of the Lord is, what you consider to be a joke is what God considers serious. If you were to repent and turn away from your evil ways, you would rejoice at the end. But if you should harden your heart and believe that nothing will happen, then I tell you of a truth, that in a little while all the workers of iniquity will be swept off the surface of the earth into the lake of fire. (Matthew 24: 37). But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Therefore, we should really repent, because this truth has been disclosed to us and everything made known unto us.

We have been fully taught and we should no longer expect more teachings because the judgement time has come and whosoever perishes after all these, does it on his or her own account and his blood shall be upon his head. We have been taught to love all men, humble ourselves, be truthful all the times. So we should practise these teachings and flee from sin.

SECOND LESSON: MATTHEW 25: 45 – 46

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

THE RIGHTEOUS EXPERIENCES NO HARDSHIP

Brethren, have you heard that? The sword shall devour all those who do not possess love and do not practise the teachings of God; and for this set of people is eternal torment and damnation. But it is eternal life and joy for those who do the will of God in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. There is a spiritual chorus which says that; ‘This is the time of Jesus; therefore, every sinner be repentant, the murderer should cease to murder”. The righteous only hears the rumours, but do not experience because they have been elevated; glory, joy, peace and all good things have been given to them. This is the time of joy for the entire children of God. God does not want any of us to perish that is why our Lord Jesus Christ said that; ‘no sheep of Israel’s house shall be lost except a child of perdition’.

He wants all of us to be repentant of our evil ways, turn to Him, so that we all may assume glory with Him. As it was said by our Lord Jesus Christ that; And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. (John 17: 13). So that it may also be fulfilled that which is stated in the scripture that; Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 7: 21).

He that does good, does that to his own benefit and he that does evil, does it to his own detriment. Wherever you find yourself is as a result of your own deeds. Therefore, let us be good servants and messengers that would return with joy. Do not lament weep, mourn, prepare concoction, get angry, do not also trouble your minds, for this is the time when the true children of God are revealed. This is the time when the evildoers will be exposed, tormented and removed from among righteous men and cast into the lake of fire where they shall wail and lament. Do not boast of your beauty, wealth, children, family, status, knowledge or any other thing, let your boastfulness be in your ability to practise the word of God. As our Lord Jesus Christ did say; He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. (Revelation 22: 11).

All those in the service of God with a pure and clean mind; continue ye still in that way. Let the honest keep up his honesty, all the righteous should as well continue in their righteousness; for now is the time for everyone to be rewarded according to their deeds. It is not all those who profess to be Brotherhood that are Brotherhood, but those who do the will of God. And also, not all those who are outside this fold shall perish, but all those who do evil; for all those who are outside this fold, but practise the teachings of God, shall be saved. This is the time of great joy for all the visioners, preachers, choristers, peace-makers, merciful, benevolent, patient, and all those who practise the injunctions of God, because of a truth, I tell you, the glory of God has manifested in them, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. So brethren, disseminate this Gospel to all nooks and crannies of this world. So that all those who misconstrue and believe that they shall be saved by their wealth, money, beauty, wisdom, status or any mundane thing will realise their folly and become repentant, so that they may be saved. Also spread this Gospel to all the meek, humble, patient, benevolent, preachers, prophets and all the workers of righteousness who have backslidden, owing to one fact or the other like poverty, childlessness and many more obstacles, which now is their time of joy.

Now is the time of glory for all those who have steadfastly waited upon the Lord: for now is the time for them to receive their due reward according to their deeds, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Reach also unto all those who defile the world, by waging wars against the children of God, stealing, committing murder, preparing concoction, fornicating and atheists that now is the time of judgement, when every man will receive the due reward for their deeds; preach unto them and bring them to repentance, that they may be saved.

GOLDEN TEXT: REVELATION 11: 18

And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

ANY BROTHERHOOD WHO COMMITS SIN IS NOT KNOWN BY GOD

Brethren, this is the time, which was written about. All those who are in the habit of showing ingratitude to God, questioning Him, lamenting and accusing Him, have they experienced any suffering yet? They still consult the oracle, concoct, steal, fornicate, commit murder, tell lies, say all manner of evil against God, doubt the existence of God, and even question God’s design, the Bible portion has clearly revealed that; “Thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants and prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth”. Do not say that because you are a Brotherhood, you can just do what you like; for I tell you of a truth, that God does not know any Brotherhood who commits evil. With truth He passes His judgement, with truth He fights and conquers. All those who, on account of practising the Gospel are reviled and persecuted by men should be exceedingly glad for the time has come when they shall receive the due reward of their righteousness. But for all those who make all kinds of evil utterances against God and His ways the time for their wailing and gnashing of teeth has come; for they shall be wiped off the surface of the earth.

Therefore, the entire world is very fortunate and lucky indeed for having received these teachings; because it is not the wish of God that we perish, but that we be saved. All the righteous men, meek, humble, faithful, patient, benevolent, peaceful, merciful and the practitioners of love are all problem free and elevation is theirs. There was a certain government that enacted a law, “War against indiscipline”, but here, what we have is “ War against sin”. The Armageddon war is against sinners and not against the righteous. What we now have is the manifestation of that reply, which our Lord Jesus Christ gave to Peter, when He asked Him that; ‘after forsaking all and following you, what shall be our reward?’. The reply was that … Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. (Matthew 19: 28 – 29)

This is what is happening to all the righteous men, now is that promise manifested. This is the time of everlasting joy for the righteous ones, those who reverence God. This is the time of their rulership and the time for them to eat the good of the land. This is the time for wailing and gnashing of teeth for all the thieves, murderers, sorcerers, adulterers, fornicators, liars, and all those who have destroyed and defiled the earth.

Brethren, it is said that a stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. He, who has ears, let him hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

THE BIG MAN SYNDROME

Golden Text: St. Luke 18: 17

“Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.”

AN UNCOMPLAINING SERVANT
Beloved, it is said that to be fore-warned is to be fore-armed. You who are in the habit of scrambling for exalted positions, take note of the warning above. Except you receive the Kingdom as a little child, you cannot enter into it. If your motive in this Kingdom is to assume exalted position, you have perished. If you come by anybody that professes to be a very important person in this Kingdom, disassociate yourself from him, for such a one is already in hell fire. It is a very serious offence for one to see himself as a very important person in this Kingdom. The truth remains that the self-acclaimed “big men” cause the problem of this world. The principal stock in trade of these so-called big men is evil practices. This accounts for the reason why I am telling you that you should not identify with everybody that says that he is no more a child. You are a living witness to the fact that a little child is an embodiment of humility and obedience, whereas anyone who professes to be a big man would always view himself as one that is above the laws of God. He is thus, not humble, meek, not even tolerant. He wants to be worshipped by all. True as this is, how then can such people serve God?

The problems of these so-called big men are enormous. The same is the case with anyone that says that he now can see clearly, that his eyes are opened, or that he is now in the light and that hitherto, he was in darkness. These groups of persons see themselves as the people of substance in the society and that, without them, nothing can be done. Who are you to feel that nothing can be done without you? God is the doer of everything and not man. For you that are desirous of the Kingdom of God, humble yourself like a little child and receive this kingdom else, you have perished.
There are no two ways to following God except you humble yourself like a little child.
I have told you to learn of Me, have you ever seen Me professing to be very important? I am humble, meek and mild and same must you be, if you care for the Kingdom of God.
A lot of people think that wealth is a qualifier to the Kingdom of God. Far be it! What qualify one for the Kingdom of God are humility, love, faith and truth. The little children, you should note, have no problems. They do not commit sins; theirs is righteousness to practice at all times. They do not think of any carnal thing. All they delight in is truth and love of God. They are always ready to serve and obey whatever instructions are given to them. Obedience is what they live for. Whereas the exact opposite is the case with those professing to be ‘big men’.
Beloved, let us learn to behave like the little children. Let us always abide in love, obedience and truth. Refrain from carnal thoughts, words and deeds and hold unto that which is pleasing to God. Let us, like the little children, not subject ourselves to our personal thoughts. We should always listen to and do that which the Holy Spirit directs us to do. Let the Holy Spirit direct you in all you have to do. Do not deviate from the teachings given to you here everyday. Listen to His teachings and put them into practice. These teachings, you will realise constitutes life. Just like the little children that is always ready to learn, let us always learn from the Holy Spirit, if you desire eternal life.

It is difficult to deal with an adult, but a little child is humble, meek, lowly, loving, truthful and willing to learn. These are the qualities required of us by God. In case you did not know who a little child is, a little child is a servant, an uncomplaining servant. It does not matter the magnitude of work you give a little child, he is ready to put in his best, but an adult will tell you outright that he is too big to be a servant. An adult prefers being served to serving; whereas the reverse is the case with a little child.
Except you humble yourself like a little child, you cannot follow God. You should be ready to serve humanity selflessly and to worship God in spirit and in truth and wholeheartedly. From today henceforth, see yourself as a new-born baby. Do not, at any time, see yourself as an adult. You should, at all times, be willing to learn just as a little child. It is only in so doing that you can inherit the Kingdom of God. You are duty bound to devote your life to learning from and practising all that you are taught in this Kingdom.
The little children, as you know, do not spare any time doing anything other than serving God.
It is very rewarding to serve God even as a little child. Recall that if Hezekiah had not served God while he was a little child, he would not have had more years added to his life. 2nd Kings 20: 2-6 If you do not serve God now that you are young, what can you do when you are old? You can only gain entrance into this Kingdom as a little child. Put aside all the wisdom you feel you have acquired so far and humble yourself as a little child if you desire to enter into this Kingdom. Disassociate yourself from the vainglories of this world and follow God sheepishly so that He may teach and make of you what He wants.

Beloved it is said that a stroke of the cane is enough for the wise. Let those that have ears hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the entire world. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

Thank You Good Father

“THE CARDINAL COMMANDMENT”

SPIRITUAL FOOD: ROMANS 13: 9

For this, THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, THOU SHALT NOT KILL, THOU SHALT NOT STEAL, THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, THOU SHALT NOT COVET and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF.
LOVE

Beloved, all the commandments of God are centred on the love for one another. This is so because, if you have love for one another, you would not commit adultery, kill, steal, bear false witness or covet. In fact, you would not commit any sin. Differently put, the fundamental law of God is love for one another. You know all other laws are embedded in love.
It is very wrong to view repentance from sin as a gradual process. It is either you refrain from sin and become righteous or you continue in sin. For it is said, if you want to be white, you should be as white as snow or should you want to be black, you should be as black as charcoal. If you know that it is good to be righteous, practice righteousness all the days of your life. On the other hand, if you delight in sin, continue in sin to the best of your ability. Let it be known to you that whatever stand you take, you will be duly rewarded. If you choose sin, you will have death for your reward and should you choose righteousness, then you will have everlasting life for your reward.

“For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (ROMANS 6: 23).
You are a living witness to the fact that year in, year out; I preach nothing other than Love. This is so because I know that love constitutes the Kingdom of God. You have a task ahead of you to reach this love. I am assuring you that as many as preach the Word of God which is that Love, have been given the right of son-ship in the Kingdom of God. These are the children of God.
It is no disputed fact that only our Lord Jesus Christ taught the word of God. He taught that we should refrain from all manners of sin and practice only righteousness. He disclosed to us that all the laws of God are founded in the love for one another. Whosoever has love for one another has fulfilled all the laws of God. And the Bible has made it clear that love is the fulfilling of the law.
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. (ROMANS 13: 10).

Beloved, it is said that a stroke of the cane is enough for the wise. Let those that have ears hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the entire world. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

“THE CONCEPT OF VEGETARIANISM”

1st Lesson St Mark 1:6
“And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild-honey’:

2nd Lesson Romans 14:21
“It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak”.

Golden Text: I Corinthians 8: 13
“Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend”.

THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH

I think after listening to these texts, your brains are now alert and your eyes are opened. We do not speak out of our own authority, but we speak as we are empowered by our Lord Jesus Christ. As John the Baptist had said, no man can have anything except it be given him from heaven. Our Lord Jesus Christ confirmed this when He said, I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. Howbeit, when He, the Spirit of Truth shall come, He will lead you to the wisdom of the truth. (That is the authority quoted). He shall not speak of Himself but what He heard from Me, that will He reveal to you.

LOCUST WAS NOT INSECT BUT BEAN:

The first correction that I have to make is the (Efik) translation which renders locust in our first lesson, as an insect of the grasshopper species. This is a blatant and misleading translation. It means locust beans and not locust as an insect of the grasshopper species. An example of the bean is what I am holding up, which you should all gaze at. If you argue that it is locust (grasshopper), does that not mean that John fed on animal? Because locust the insect is an animal. Where do you find locust (grasshopper) again these days?

As God had said that the fruits and seeds of all herbs and trees shall be food for man; that was why John ate the locust beans. The misleading translation should be corrected with immediate effect. Since it was God who sent John to the world to practice the truth, that was why it was said beforehand that John would come neither eating nor drinking. This was in consonance with the commandment of God in the beginning, that the fruits and seeds of all trees and herbs shall be man’s food. It was for this reason that John the Baptist fed on locust bean and honey. Throughout his mission, he was not sick but he was rather filled with power. That was a living example set for us. For this reason, do not go back into your former ways of life.

GOD PRESCRIBED FOOD FOR MAN:

You may begin to cogitate what manner of food you will eat. I am also going to tell you, what God had said in this regard. The type of food prescribed for man by God is found in Genesis 1: 29. From today that should be your food. Today is the day to sort things out. Like a local adage says, “the cow has delivered in the market place and there is no need, its closing its legs”. There is no point hiding anything since many church dignitaries will be highly interested in this gospel. Read the food prescription for man:

GENESIS 1: 29:

“And God said, behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat:

Beans is food. Melon is food. Groundnut is food. Orange is food. Paw-paw, Pineapples and all kinds of fruits and seeds are food for man. The instruction is that the fruit and seed of every herb bearing seed and every tree yielding seed, shall be food for man. That is to say, all seeds and fruits of any herb or tree upon the surface of the earth, shall be food for man. You are true witnesses to the fact that beans, as foodstuff is rich in all food requirements and sufficient for man as food. I know, as you know, the food nutrient in beans. You know too about melon, bananas, oranges, paw-paw, plantain and countless number of fruits and seeds abounding everywhere upon the surface of the earth.

THE ESSENCE OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN:

The Garden of Eden is not a folk tale. It is simply a reality. If fruit bearing herbs and trees are planted, they provide people with more than enough food. The instruction to man had been that all the fruits and seeds shall be his food, but one was singled out which he should not eat. From the time the knowledge became elusive to the people of the world, they departed from the path of God. The Spirit of God in man was dead, and the Spirit of God departed from man.

There was no time that God instructed man to kill and eat birds, animals, or locust insects, because these animals have their kingdoms. God’s motto is: “live and let’s live”. The earthworm has its kingdom. Birds have their own kingdom. God does not tell you to have conflict with them, but has spotlighted that all the fruits and seeds of herbs and trees shall be your food. Have you fed on fruits and seeds, and you are not satisfied?

TROUBLES DERIVED FROM EATING MEAT AND FISH

There are many fruits for any one to eat. You cannot count them all. If we plant them, including coconut, there is not one that you are forbidden from eating. Eat, and drink water and you will be satisfied. John the Baptist ate locust beans and honey and was satisfied. Is the purported “Beelzebub oil” in Brotherhood, not made out of honey? Is it not the oil that is used in healing various sicknesses?

All the troubles in the world which hinder man from knowing God and the imminent ruin of man, results from eating meat and fish. By this act, the world has departed from the ways of God, to the path of perdition. It brings about sickness, afflictions, gnashing of teeth and death to man. You can bear witness, that if God did not love man by sending John the Baptist in his fashion, the world would have perished. You will note that it was neither John’s father, or mother, or the priest who advised John not to eat meat, since they were killing and eating animals with bones and skin. As our Lord Jesus Christ had said, anyone who is filled with old wine will not need new wine, because he will always say the old is better for him. But in this case, what option do you have? I know many of you will not sleep. Your hearts are troubled about the seeming difficulty in practising the gospel. What is so difficult in practising this gospel?

FRUITS AND SEEDS ARE MAN’S FOOD

It is the first commandment God gave after creating man. He said, “Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat”. This is the first instruction given by God to man. Many people complain of what to do, and argue if they cannot eat things like egg or milk. Egg is a bird. Milk is taken from an animal and so it is part of an animal. Do not eat any of those things. They are not prescribed for man. The only food prescribed for man is either fruit or seed. If you love life, follow the prescription. Our Lord Jesus Christ at the end of every preaching would say those who have ears let them hear. The children of God who are the children of this Kingdom, do not find it grievous to practice. It is rather pleasant to practice. If you follow the prescription, you will no longer be sick, you will have no pains, there will be no movements of objects in your body system which you attribute to witches and wizards. The fish and meat you eat, causes these problems, because you have eaten of the forbidden fruit.

I do not yet want to dwell on the repercussion of eating meat and fish. The penalties and disadvantages I do not treat. I am only dealing with the superficial aspect. At another time, I will speak on the disadvantages, repercussions, and the untold penalties to mankind. Come to Me by tomorrow, or at anytime you chose. There is a book in My possession written by a white man titled, Why You Don ‘t Have to Eat Meat. I will give you to read. I do not read the book. I know that he may not deal deeply on the issues but if I go on to expatiate on this issue, you will cry and shout to the top of your voice. If you eat a piece of meat, it is poisonous.

ANIMALS AND MEN HAVE INSTINCTS BUT MEN HAVE THINKING FACULTY:

Do you not know that the animal is human? (or likened unto) God your Creator, also created goats, hens and all the animals. He first created them before creating you. Your brethren are the “animals”. Any animal is your brother, and you are a brother to the animals. If any cut is inflicted on you, blood will come out. Blood will also come out if a cut is inflicted on a goat or hen. If you compare, the blood looks alike. You have instinct, and they too have instinct.

If there is a person in this building, an animal will know that there is a person. When you speak, the animal hears. The animals equally speaks. But since God has given you the power of superintendency over them, you should cater for their welfare. You are not told to kill them. Because of this role, God gave the reasoning faculty which is the likeness of God in man. That is the only aspect that men surpass animals. Otherwise the animals could manufacture guns and shoot you, as you manufacture to shoot them. Animals smell, see, hear, speak, walk. The only sense that eludes them is the reasoning faculty. God does this intentionally so that man can use it as the instrument of governing the animals.

THE ANIMAL AND TREE KINGDOMS:

I tell you that they enjoy themselves in their own kingdom more than you, to the extent that they do not even imagine there is another kingdom. When you see them gathering you may feel they are playing, not knowing that they are deliberating on a very important business. They have various institutions as we have. They have chiefs, police force, the army and every other institution.

All animals created have both male and female. The trees have their own kingdom. They attend meetings, have their chiefs, converse and do their own thing, their own way. Their kingdom is equally very enjoyable. If I say that you are a member of either the plant or animal kingdom, you will wonder how. Do not bother about that aspect but believe that you are also a tree, or a fish, or an ant or bird. Therefore, you are a brother to them all, and they are your brothers.

I have many things to tell you, but I cannot tell them all at once. Because some may not be of much good to you, and some will do far more greater good than you imagine. God did not enjoin that you should rule over man. All human beings are of one kingdom, and are given the same glory. He appointed man to superintend over fishes, animals and other creatures. If man makes an attempt to govern man, he will put up stiff resistance and even ready to fight.

USE OF ANIMALS:

In the northern part of the country (Nigeria) and around the desert regions, animals are used as means of transportation. These animals carry loads, listen to instructions and do many other things. The horse is an example of such animals. If we were to know ourselves, we would train them all. They are the ones for man to govern. They can go on errands, carry loads, keep watch over the house; while a man goes about his normal business. When you try to exercise such control and power over a human being, you will be opposed all-ways. The power of superintendency of man over animals is the first grace man has lost. If you were to cater for, and feed the snakes, goats, dogs and other animals, they would watch the house, go on errands, sweep the floor and do other domestic chores. Brethren, the effort we waste in training men, if we were to concentrate our attention in training the animals, they would have given similar responses. We would use them for our errands, sit back to enjoy our glory. What obtains now? You are antagonistic against animals. While you kill them, they also attempt to hurt you. With such a situation, can you exercise any control and authority over them?

THE GRACE WHICH ELUDES MAN:

You can see how the whites train dogs, and other animals. If you keep one dog to keep watch over the premises and it barks, every person will be scared. There are various things animals can do if they are trained.

If you train a parrot, for instance, it can call somebody’s name and report situations. In your absence the parrot can keep record of all those who called at the house, and report same when you return. That is one grace man has missed.

It is on this basis that we are told to love them. If we were to love them, re-direct our attention to training them, they would equally pick up. A human being is born with the same characteristic features as animals, and into similar circumstances. If the animal should be given the same care, attention, and treatment, as its human-being counterpart at birth, massaging and stretching the necessary parts of the body, cutting hair and clothing, the animal would respond as human beings. You are not more beautiful or handsome than an animal. They hear when they are spoken to, and can move when they are told to do so. Some animals can convey you, as well as loads, from one place to the other. That is one grace we have missed because of our stupidity.

ANIMALS ARE ALSO HUMAN:

More so, you do not know that when you kill an animal, you have killed a human being. When, for instance a native doctor demands a cock and hen from you, he is in effect asking for a man and a woman. He does not know this and you do not know too. But the moment the cock is killed, a man is dead somewhere. When you kill a cock you have become a murderer and will stand before the judgement seat of God to answer for it, and you will also be killed.

Can you realise why you are told not to kill any fish or bird or any other animal? It is because they are all human beings. Abel did not know that all the sheep he was tending were all humans. When God demanded that Cain and Abel should offer sacrifices unto Him, Abel chose the fattest of his ram, and offered it to be burnt as a sacrifice. He thought that he was presenting a ram not knowing that he was offering himself. He gave his own life. It was not Cain who killed him, it was self inflicted. Can you realise the wisdom I have brought to you? It is the recondite wisdom. If he did not offer that ram, he would not have given his life and nothing would have happened to him. You pray to God to take away death. Where do you intend Him to take death to? You are still killing fishes, hens, cocks and other animals. Are those not human beings you are killing? People die as a result of what they do.

MEAT DEFILES THE TEMPLE OF GOD:

Secondly, whenever you eat meat or fish, your heart is troubled because you have defiled the temple of the living God. The house becomes impure. Wrath, strife and all kinds of filth will fill the house, and you will not have peace. Then, the Holy Spirit has departed from you. The moment the Holy Spirit departs from you, love has departed from you. Peace has left you. Truth has left you. Mercy has left you and patience is elusive. What you find are ill feelings and anger, fighting and quarrelling, because you have defiled the temple of The Most High God. Your eyes will be darkened, while you will be eclipsed in spiritual darkness, indeed, you are dead already.

Can you realise the recondite wisdom of God? It is on the basis of His wisdom; that He said, Elijah will come before the Messiah. That was why John the Baptist, who came in the power and spirit of Elijah, neither ate nor drank any other thing apart from that which God had prescribed from the beginning, namely: fruit, locust beans and honey. Because of this, his eyes were opened to know God. Upon the number of people in Israel, who was able to identify our Lord Jesus Christ? By feeding according to God’s prescription, John recognised God, his heart was clean, he was wise and powerful, and the Father dwelt in him.

A lot of people still contend that till our Lord Jesus Christ comes back, some are of the opinion that He has not yet come; while others claim that there is no God. Because of eating of fish and meat, man is overshadowed with darkness, and he dies. Sickness, anger, animosity are all found with you. You always pronounce woe on people and their mothers. There is no peace, no matter how rich you are. Your heart is always troubled as a result of eating meat. Because of the tendency to eating meat, a young girl no longer menstruates. Little children suffer different forms of sicknesses. How come all these things? It is as a result of the meat and fish you eat which defile the body, the temple of the living God. There is no more life in you, and all your life is wasted. Your ears will be blocked, and your life is not worth its salt. The doctor says you are anaemic? It is true, you are bloodless because you do not eat fruits which constitute the body of our Lord Jesus Christ and which provide blood. Fruits give you blood and life, and power and good health, and beauty and all the glories of God. You have left the glory of God to base things. I do not intend to belabour you, our first lesson will now be read.

1st Lesson: St. Mark 1: 6

“And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild-honey’:

Have you heard that? If you begin to eat fruits from today, brethren, you will no longer grow old. You will not be sick and you will not have any pains. You will ever be young. You will no longer know what it means to be angry, your eyes will be open and you will see God face to face, as you enjoy this Kingdom. You will have much blood, power, and vitality. When you refrain from meat, death, sickness and lack will be afraid of you. When you refrain from meat and fish, you will no longer know anger and troubled heart. You will experience real bliss and peace in your innermost heart. You will always be happy, because the Father dwells in you and you in Him. You will see His glory everyday.

THE SOURCE OF JOHN’S POWER:

What gave John the Baptist the sort of power he had? It was because he kept to God’s prescription by eating only locust beans and honey. If you begin from today to live on fruits, you will have the same power because the Father dwells in you. There is neither witchery nor ghost nor charm. It is the meat and fish you eat that move as animal and fish in you. When you are examined by the medical doctor, he will either tell you that you are anaemic or have impure blood. It is true you are bloodless or your blood is impure or your blood contains too much water. This is true because you continue to eat meat and fish.

As God has made coconut with water in it, so has God put sweetness in paw-paw, so has He made man and equipped him with all good things. You are God’s building, His husbandry and His city. It is because of disobedience that you kill animals for your meat, and as a result you suffer. When it is reported that somebody is fat, why is he fat? Is it not the result of stealing, prostitution and surfeiting? Is obesity a good thing? Come to think of the effect of meat on man. God has created fishes, hens and goats into very lowly and dishonourable places. When you eat their meat, where do you find yourselves? Can you not realise how you are living as beasts? Even animals are now wiser than you. If you no longer eat meat, mourning houses will cease to be kept, necromancers and juju doctors will fold up. All the secret societies in the world will cease to exist. Consequently, you will no longer have any problems. You will feel sound and happy, Brethren, I will want you to come in and enjoy this Kingdom. People will no longer die, because the animals you kill are human, and when you stop killing them, they will no longer die, and human beings will consequently not die as a result. People will no longer be sick. Goats will not be missing. Animals will no longer be killed, but will be allowed to carry on their businesses while human beings go on theirs. In that way, life will be worth living for both men and animals.

WHAT MAKES UP CIVILAZATION:

Brethren, open-eyed blindness is a grievous sickness. When you claim that you are civilised and your eyes are open, what evidence of civilisation do you have? Do you think civilisation subsumes speaking and reading the English language? Engineering is not a product of English language. English language is not used in manufacturing or inventing anything. It is the product of God’s knowledge. Do you think that the person who invented aeroplane was learned? It does not require being learned, God is the one who teaches man to do everything, without the direct application of any language.

It is said, when the Comforter comes, He will lead you to the knowledge of the truth. If we are able to maintain our purity and sanctity, and practice this injunction of God, that means we will only be conversing with and answering questions from God. You will no longer argue that God is in the sky, but you will see Him face to face. He will use you to wrought mighty works. In all things you shall be free.

When people talk of going to the mountains or to Jerusalem, what actually do you go to do there. Here is God before you, conversing with you, but your sight has been blurred and your ears blocked by the meat and fish, which God has directed you not to eat. God is not far from any person, but we ruin ourselves; most especially by eating meat and fish. This way, we defile the temple of God and it attracts perdition and sickness into our system. When you eat goat meat, the goat will seek a place of abode in you, and begin to move around you. These animals whose meat you eat, move in you, and you complain that you are poisoned or charmed. There is no one poisoning us, but we have introduced foreign bodies into our system. “Whatever tastes delicious in the mouth of a sick man, that will he eat and die,” according to a local adage.

DISEASES ARE CONTRACTED INTO THE BODY THROUGH EATING MEAT:

Brethren, it is good for one to hearken to the injunctions of God. The moment you depart from the instruction of God, you face destruction. Are you told that John the Baptist was ever sick? Are you told that he was ever hungry? Throughout the period he lived, he neither drank wine, nor took snuff, nor committed any other vices. He depended on the locust beans and honey for food. He never suffered hunger till the day he completed his assignment. Therefore, a man lives not by food or meat or fish. God has done a wonderful thing for us.

Imagine the abundance of foodstuff; yams, cassava, plantain, beans, maize, groundnuts, rice, and all kinds of seeds and fruits. Tell me, what more you need for food?. If you cultivate these crops, there will be no problems.

From cassava you can prepare many varieties of food: garri, foo-foo, cassavita, sliced cassava, and whatever else you want. If you eat and drink water, you will be sumptuously satisfied.

LESSON IMPARTED FREE:

Whoever continues to eat meat has been billed for perdition. The reason is that, I cannot see why your life can be adversely affected if you do not eat meat. It rather helps you to live a better and more pleasant life. If you go to many parts of the world, like Jerusalem, they neither know nor have lot of foodstuff as we have here, but rather, they live on fruits. You claim the whites are powerful and civilised, that is due to the fact that more of them practice vegetarianism. As I am teaching you now, it is not pleasing to those who have pre-knowledge of this truth, since they feel they had spent a lot of money to acquire the knowledge.

This lesson is not acquired free. It is a very significant and efficacious lesson, but I have given to you free of charge. You complain that your dreams are confusing, or that you cannot remember your dreams as you used to do when you were young. Your dreams should be confused because of the meat and fish you introduce into your body, which defile the body. Experiment from today, that you have heard this gospel. As the Scripture says, today, when you hear His voice, harden not your hearts. If you keep to the prescription of God and eat only what you are told to eat, you will witness a remarkable change, your eyes will be opened, your ears will be opened, your understanding will be broadened. You will hear about and witness for the glory of God, as well as find peace for your soul and long life for yourself. The second lesson will now be read:

2nd Lesson: Romans 14: 21

“It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak”.

Have you heard that? If you stop eating meat all will be well with you. The money you spend on meat could well be saved, or utilised in more beneficial ways. When you buy a cock for your house, your neighbour is hopeful that he will be given a gift. Your children in the house also think they will have a share. Every person around will be looking at you. If you eat the meat and refuse to give your neighbour, you have called for trouble. If you do not give the meat to your children, they will begin to plot how to get the meat, since you have denied them the privilege. Can you not see how the inhabitants of the world are unnecessarily preoccupied with theft of hens, theft of goats and other meat products. You stay in a bar to eat five full chickens, or up to five dogs at a sitting, to the extent that you exhaust your salary, that one day, and even get indebted to people and on top of this, you suffer from dysentery. “I know that those who sells animal products will be angry, but their anger cannot affect me “.

THE WORLD SEEKS FOR LIFE WHERE THERE IS NO LIFE

God has kept time for everything. The time of foolishness has passed. This is the time for the Holy Spirit to lead you to the knowledge of truth. As has been rendered in a song by one of the choirs: the world is looking for life where life cannot be found. Do not eat meat anymore. Do not drink wine. Do not kill and eat hens, goats or any animal, for they do us no good. Eating of meat does not admit you into the Kingdom of God. Refraining from meat does not remove you from the Kingdom of God. What, therefore, is the use of eating meat?

There are many people who will kill and eat human flesh in the absence of hens and goats. About 99 percent of the inhabitants of Africa are cannibals. If we no longer eat fish or meat, there will be no more killings and we will not only have peace, but we will see God, be alive, be rich, and will be devoid of all problems. Complaints of meat poisoning, fish poisoning and so forth will be a thing of the past, since you eat neither fish nor meat. Anger, troubled-heart and repression will no longer be experience. At all times you will feel pleased. At all times the Holy Spirit will dwell in you, and you will have the feelings of satisfaction, peace, good health and power.

MEAT DEFILES THE TEMPLE OF GOD:

When you eat meat or fish and pass effluvium, the obnoxious smell will cause every person around to run from you. The reason is that your system is dirty, and the air reflects your inner self. What do you think your body looks like in this light. God is not there with you, because the temple is defiled. You are the temple of the most High God. It is said that whoever defiles the temple of the Most High, him shall God destroy. You destroy the temple of God by eating meat and fish. There is nothing that I can safely point to, as the benefit one derives from eating meat. I have not seen its usefulness to man. The only thing I see in meat is its evil, punishment, death, lack, sickness, tribulations to man, and the departure of God from His own house. People always cry that God should help them refrain from fornication, but why is it that you cannot defeat the younger son, and you go to challenge the elder son to a fight? If you do not refrain from eating meat and fish, how can you refrain from fornication? If you do not refrain from eating meat and fish, how can you refrain from anger? If you do not refrain from eating meat and fish, how will the Holy Spirit dwell in your heart?

MEAT EATING IS ENEMY TO MAN:

This is the greatest enemy of man. If it were not so, God would not have instructed that all seeds and fruits of trees and herbs shall be your food. This instruction is clear and distinct and admits of no other interpretation. If you introduce any other thing, you are to blame.

ABSTINENCE FROM MEAT IS IN-BORN IN ME:

I thank God immensely, because at first, I wondered what kind of life I was living, without eating meat, or fish, but I know that the Father was doing His work. You cannot have anything except it is given to you by God. I tried as a man to eat meat or fish, but could not. It is not that it is lawful to Me to eat meat or fish, but I neither need nor appreciate them. I have never tested them since I was born. I have no business with such things. When one complains that he has the urge to eat meat, I wonder what stimulates such urges in man. I have no business with meat or fish. I am not implying that you should stop eating them as well, but I am impressing upon you that I have no need for them, since I know myself. I did not know that the Father wanted to do a significant thing for the people of the world. Were it not so, how will I preach this gospel?

When you argue that you want to be like the Father, what do you imply in your argument? But you have neither refrained from meat or fish. Can you realise the cause of the downfall of many in BCS? Can you also realise the power in Brotherhood? You complain that the Leader has not shown you the source of power here in Brotherhood. Have I not revealed this power to you today? Those who eat meat are now very sorrowful, and do not knock their heads on the ground. God loves this generation immensely. As He had sent John to live that sort of life and to leave an example for mankind, so does He teach us purity and sanctity. You know that maize by itself is food. Banana, plantain, oranges, and other fruits are more than sufficient. I do not know what has become of the inhabitants of the world. The lesson taught you now is not an extract from any book; neither is reference made to any authority. I was born with this understanding.

THE GOSPEL IS A BOMB SHELL TO THE WORLD:

Brethren, it is high time that you be crowned. Do you see the gentle progression from simple to complex? We started with telling you to refrain from sin, removing all its vestiges from you. The gospel delivered today is a giant leap. I know that many people find it difficult even to say hallelujah, especially when they begin to weigh the possibilities of refraining from meat. Today, the urge to eat meat is taken from you. The inhabitants of the world will shout, when they listen to today’s gospel, that “Leader Obu has ‘killed’ them”, that He has instructed that people should no longer eat meat or fish. They will ask, what does He want them to do? I have prescribed what is required of man to eat. People who sell animal/meat products and restaurant owners, some who are even present in this hall, are almost petrified. They are thinking of what to do with the animal/meat they have in stock, and pleading that I should give them a little more chance.

Did you know all this while you were killing people and yourself, you did also defile the temple of God? It is for this reason that your sensitivity to minor threats are high. When a little thing happens, you will die. You age out within a few years. If you begin today to refrain from meat and fish, you will ever remain young, healthy, and beautiful. All the body requirements will remain intact.

IF ALL REFRAIN FROM EATING MEAT, ANIMALS WOULD NOT BE KILLED:

You may argue that you have not slaughtered any animals, you only buy and eat. If you stop eating, that person killing animals for sale will not find market for his trade. If a native doctor is no longer consulted, the next thing will be for him to abandon his practice and engage in another job. If a woman determines to take to prostitution, and because of this, she sets her house and adorns herself as is normally done; and throughout a whole month no customer calls, if she lacks customers for months, she will have a change of heart. In the same way, a young man who promises to be intimate with every woman, wherever he goes his request is turned down, and he is abused by women, will be dissuaded by the disgrace he faces, to leave promiscuous life with utter abandonment. If women do not accept the approaches of men, men will warm their seats.

OTHER VICES ARE DEPENDENT ON MEAT EATING:

Wherever there is a speaker, there must be somebody to practice. Wherever somebody is practising the word, there must be a speaker. When you say that somebody is very troublesome, it takes two persons, and not one to cause confusion. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything whereby thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak. Meat and fish issue brings offence and confusion to the inhabitants of the world. A great many of the calamities in the world come as a result of eating meat and fish.

Let all the inhabitants of the world thank God, because the Holy Spirit has come at this end of time to lead man to the knowledge of truth. If this type of gospel were delivered in days of old, that people should not eat meat, the preacher would not only be the object of ridicule but would stand the chance of losing his head. But now I am preaching this sermon with boldness because millions of people in the world have already become vegetarians today. Millions are also looking for the way to becoming vegetarians. That is why the Father throws the day wide open for the entire world to enter in and receive eternal life.

When you light candles, burn incense, and accompany your worship music with orchestra in your church, I say stop drumming, go and practice this gospel. If you want power from on high, stop eating meat and fish, stop drinking, fornication and committing other vices. By that you will have power and will see the glory of God. Your eyes will be opened and you will see God face to face. I do not say you will only hear His voice, but that you will see Him physically. You will also swim in the ocean of good health and enjoy enormous wealth. You will express with surprise whether God had been around you all along. Brethren, I do not want to take you further than this; the golden text will now be read. Whether the lesson comes to you as a surprise or whether you are weeping, the fastidiousness of a he-goat does not prevent its sale:

Golden Text: I Corinthians 8: 13:

“Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend”.

Have you heard that! God has blessed the reading of today’s gospel. Even if He did not bless others. I do not quote anything by heart. Every time you argue that Olumba says one thing or the other. Am I the writer? Is it not our Lord Jesus Christ who passed through the mouth of St. Paul to write what is read to you? You should now opt to make the same statement: It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything whereby my brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak. And this is the echo of this statement that if meat makes my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world stands, lest I make my brother to offend. That is a vow which you have all taken today.

ESTABLISHMENT OF CITRUS GARDENS, ORCHARDS AND VEGETABLE GARDENS:

What God loves is what man hates and what man loves is what God hates. The native doctors all demand that you should bring a cock or hen. In mourning houses, animals are killed for meat. If every person refrains from eating flesh, there is peace, there will be neither poverty nor lack. Anger will become a thing of the past. The world will enjoy absolute peace. It is for this reason that we have acquired our own land. You will see the Garden of Eden with your naked eyes. On our land, fruits of various kinds will be planted extensively. Pineapples, oranges, paw-paw, pear and all others will be planted. You will go there and eat to your satisfaction. We will not rear any animal for food. Neither goats, nor pigs, nor cows are wanted for food since they are our brothers. The fruits and seeds of the trees and herbs are also our brothers. Since He owns the garden, He has prescribed that we should eat fruits and seeds.

KEEP THE INJUNCTIONS OF GOD:

Obedience is better than sacrifice. Why did Adam and Eve fall from the expectation of God? Was it not because of disobedience? It is said, “a child who walks circumspectly will kill what killed his father. A child who is careless, whatever killed his father will kill him also”. You blame Adam for being the cause of any suffering. Are you not also killed by what killed Adam? This explains why at this end of time the Father reintroduces a new commandment by revisiting what had already been given to man, so that it becomes possible for you to enter into the Kingdom of God, as it is not expected that you should perish. This Kingdom had not been established for trees or animals but for human beings who should inherit it.

ACQUIRE LAND FOR CULTIVATION OF FRUIT TREES:

Coconut, palm kernel, and all kinds of fruits shall be man’s food. In your community, whether it is mainland, or upland part of the country, donate land for the cultivation of fruits. Whether it is in Cross River, Nigeria or in Europe, acquire land to plant fruit trees. You will see the set up of the Garden of Eden with your naked eyes. By the Garden of Eden is meant the cultivation of different species of various kinds of fruits extensively. When they eventually yield their fruits, you can pluck and eat without any problems. You will realise that by that time we will have no difficulty. As we begin to live on the prescription of God, you will witness the gradual unfolding of the glory of God, and a comparatively different atmosphere governing our living. All what you will witness and feel – power, happiness and joy, will not give room for you to be confronted with any difficulty. You have been hearing when we say, that we are staging a go-back to the Garden of Eden. Before, you hear Me speak to you with vigour and power, in BCS, about ninety nine percent are now vegetarians. They no longer have anything to do with flesh. What remains of them is only one hundredth. These are the ones who will complain that what is left for them to do is to stop eating fish.

DIFFERENT FORMS OF VEGETARIANISM:

Your brothers and sisters have turned vegetarians. How many of you still remain eating meat and fish? It remains a little step for you to cross unto the other side and have eternal life. It is worth mentioning that (Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe) is a vegetarian. He does it in a peculiar manner. There are many people who are vegetarians though some do not practice it properly. When you ask them, they will tell you that they are still taking eggs, bread and biscuit and drinking milk. I will tell them that theirs are different.

Brethren, I think that today, being the anniversary of the Association of Brotherhood Academic Students (ABAS), is a very lucky day for all the inhabitants of the world. This is so because I have been treating this subject on the surface. But today, it is elucidative and elaborately declared from the highest heaven; Since God does not wish that we should perish, but that we should have eternal life, that is why He has sent the Holy Spirit to us at this end of time. Many people complain that they are bewitched and seek for powerful oracles to consult. Do not consult any oracle again. It is eating meat and fish which is killing you. The reason you are recalcitrant with God, is that you continue to eat fish and meat. What has darkened your eyes and blocked your ears, is that you are eating meat and fish. From this hour, as you have accepted Him, you have peace. You have seen, you have heard, and the stones are removed from the walls of your heart. You have witnessed the illumination of God.

RESOLVE TO BE EATING FRUITS ONLY:

All the inhabitants of the world have a testimony from today. All those who are in prison, the sick, the barren, and people with various problems, from today, the Father has taken their problems away. Most of your calamities and encumbrances result from eating meat and fish. God has turned His merciful eyes on humanity. He has seen that we are all blind and stupid; and for the reason, sends the Holy Spirit to lead us.

Most especially those who are in the universities. You fry here, roast there, bake and boil your food. Fry no more because that means death unto yourself. If you want to pass your examinations, eat fruits. Wisdom, wealth, power, peace, beauty, good health and long life will be bestowed on you. You have heard that in the past, people lived up to eight or nine hundred years. Why was it possible? It was because they were vegetarians. Today, young people look older than their ages. Some are obsessed. Obesity is a disease resulting from eating of fish and meat. Brethren, I will not be tedious unto you. Read again Genesis 1: 29 as your protective charm. There is no question again concerning this issue. Know now what you have to do.

Genesis I: 29:

“And God said, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which upon the

face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seen; to you it shall be for meat.

Do you have any other question to ask? That is the voice of God. The fruit of any tree is your food. Any herb that bears seed, to you it shall be for food. Now, we are in the new earth. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star (BCS) is neither a prayer house, nor service centre, nor healing home, nor church denomination. It is the Kingdom of God. Since we are back to the Garden of Eden, our food is as was first recommended by God. All fruits and seeds from trees and herbs are our food in this Kingdom. If you eat something else, put yourself in prayer. Since we are in the Garden, that is why we have to be prepared by planting fruit bearing trees and herbs.

REWARD FOR VEGETARIANS:

Many of those who are partially blind, or do not see their way, if they now begin to practice this gospel by eating fruits alone, their eyes will be opened. Those who are suffering from hypertension will have their blood normalised if they practice this gospel. Many who are certified anaemic, by practising this gospel they will be filled with blood. The blood content of one person can be more than enough to donate to a hundred other people. Those who are left with ten days to one year or so to depart this world to the world beyond, because of their disobedience. By beginning to practice this gospel, thousands of years are added to their days. All those whose faces are wrinkled, legs crooked and they are oldish, by beginning to practice this gospel, they will be rejuvenated and will become handsome young men and beautiful women.

Because of eating fish and meat, we are disconnected from God. Our link to the fountain of living water is cut short from us, thereby rendering us ineffective. From this instant, the pipe is reconnected to that fountain. You can feel the pulse inside you. You will be surprised to see yourself look very young and smart. The swollen cheeks and protruding belly will be no more. When somebody sees you, he will see you as a beautiful young lady.

You will be called beauty, and people will wonder how you come about such good health and beauty. More so, all forms of indiscriminate desires will be taken away from you. All the troubled hearts, exasperation and fighting which have formed part of you will be found no more. You will experience relative bliss and concord. This in effect is the Kingdom we were looking for. the knot that had loosened, which had caused the world to question what has brought about trouble, and leading to some blaming it on women or money or other things, has today been righted. None of these or other imaginable things bring troubles. We have been told not to kill and eat them but to superintend over them. The injunction is for you to eat fruits but you have left that which you were told to do, and have done what you ought not to do. For this reason, there is no life in you.

I will not be tedious unto you. A stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. He who has ears let him hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

Thank you Good Father.

EVERLASTING GOSPEL DELIVERED BY THE HOLY FATHER,
THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER AND THE SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE
LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
(WHQ) BCS 34 AMBO ST CALABAR NIGERIA

THE CREATOR IS ON EARTH

1st Lesson: St John 5: 30
“I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgement is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father, which hath sent me”

2nd Lesson: St John 12: 49-50
“For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”

Golden Text: St John 6: 45
“It is written in the prophets, AND THEY SHALL BE ALL TAUGHT OF GOD. Every man therefore, that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.”

THE GLORY OF GOD IS REVEALED
Beloved, this is the glory of God revealed in your midst for your benefit. This is in fulfilment of the scriptures – that in the days ahead, God would teach you everything. Today the Holy Spirit is in our midst, teaching us all things. A righteous one was sought after in heaven and earth, to open the seal; and to teach everyone written words in the book of God, but no one was worthy to open the book. It was for this reason, that our Lord Jesus Christ openly declared, that the Holy Spirit of truth would come and lead mankind to the accurate knowledge of truth. It is believed by all that there is no righteous person on earth.
God commissioned the prophets to come and teach human beings but when they arrived, they discovered that everyone derailed from the path of rectitude. Other sets of people went out, but they also found the world in that state of sinfulness. At the end of it all, He sent His only begotten son who declared to the world saying.
“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He will glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father has are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you.” – St. John 16:12-15
This is not the time for you to emulate your fellow man. Rather, it is time we all should follow the Holy Spirit who is in our midst. He had stated:

“FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAITH THE LORD; I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MIND, AND WRITE THEM IN THEIR HEARTS. AND I WILL BE TO THEM A GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE TO ME A PEOPLE. AND THEY SHALL NOT TEACH EVERY MAN HIS NEIGHBOUR, AND EVERY MAN HIS NEIGHBOUR, SAYING, KNOW THE LORD: FOR ALL SHALL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST.” – Hebrews 8: 10-11

That period mentioned is our present age. The Holy Spirit is now dwelling in us. He is our instructor teacher, Leader and the doer of all things. So, do not allow anyone to make you derail from the path of rectitude. Rather, be led by the Holy Spirit in you. As the heaven is higher than the earth, so also is the wisdom of God much greater than man. At times you would hear some church leaders asking their followers, to practise what they preach but not what they themselves do.
Some leaders advise their followers to refrain from eating the flesh, fornication, theft, falsehood etc., yet they are seriously indulging in those sins. Some of them advise their ‘flock’ to forsake fornication, but at the same time they are committing the act. They would even term such an act, holy. For now, God trusts no one. Hence, the Holy Spirit decides to come personally into the world to dwell in each and everyone. Our Lord Jesus Christ was a leader, taught by the Holy Spirit and for this reason. He was able to bring salvation to us. Our main problem is contingent on the fact that we are following individuals and not abiding by whatever advice the Holy Spirit gives us.
You have come into the Kingdom today, so that you should hear words from the horse’s mouth. It is your failure to do most of the things He advises you to do that account for your inexplicable problems in life. If it were not for the Father’s coming into this world at this end of time, the world would have perished. Whenever someone tells you something, before you react, listen to the spirit. By so doing, the Holy Spirit in you will discern whether the information is true or false. You will hear preaching, but the Holy Spirit in you will inform you that the word is not correct. At times, you may plan to do something and He tells you that plan is bad. Therefore, we have to abide by every piece of advice given us by the Holy Spirit at the expense of man’s advice. He is the one who sees things within and beyond.
The Holy Spirit does not only exist in 34 Ambo Street, but He is in the body of all His children wherever they are. He is our Leader and Teacher. Many that keep His teachings and instructions will He save. So the only person you have to emulate is the Holy Spirit.
You can find a person who was through the help of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, discharged and acquitted in the law courts returning to his former church. At the time, advises anyone who has problems to come to Brotherhood. You would also find such a person reviling and condemning Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. You need not look at such a person; rather you have to listen to the Holy Spirit in you and do all that He directs you to do. This is so because your salvation is contingent on His words.

The Father commissioned the angels and the prophets to come and teach mankind and salvage them. Unfortunately, not until He sent His only son to die, for the effective accomplishment of the task. Now, He has come by Himself to dwell with human beings and lead them in the right way. The golden text of this sermon has explicitly stated that the Holy Spirit will teach people and those who will keep His teachings will follow Him. We are really the luckiest of all the generations. Had it not been for the love of God, humbly accepting to dwell with us, we would all have perished. Therefore you should follow and emulate no other person other than the Holy Spirit. His teachings are wholesome, worthy of emulation. If you are given a vision for instance, all you need do is to listen to the Holy Spirit in you. By so doing, He informs you if the vision is correct or incorrect. Stop doing things out of your volition, as you have been doing in the days gone by, for God has now come to dwell with human beings on earth, though they do not know him. At times you do say that your heart tells you not to tell lies, commit fornication and indulge in the like sins. Note however, that it is not your heart that so directs you but the Spirit of God in you.
Christ was in the Spirit. He was the first person that God lived in; that is why He did everything according to the dictate of the Holy Spirit. Hence, He conquered. You are a witness to the fact, that on different occasions our Lord Jesus Christ was asked to heal the sick. He would wait for a while, to receive directives from the Holy Spirit, on how to go about healing the sickness. Thereafter, He would either place His hands on the patient’s head or take him by the hand or instruct him to take bath in a river depending on the Holy Spirit’s directives. Christ did nothing out of His own volition; therefore it is imperative that you do nothing out of your volition. A great number of you do make mistake by claiming that you are not being taught by anybody. If you are not being taught by anybody, how then do you have this wonderful knowledge?

Always inform people that God is teaching you.
When preaching to people, they must have the assurance, that you only say what the Holy Spirit directs you to, notwithstanding the reaction of the listener. There is a saying, that “an errand boy has never died for responding positively to his master’s instructions”.
Here in the Kingdom, it is the only one God existing that teaches all the people – Choristers, Pastors, Students, Christ Servants, or Children of God. You have but one God. Since it was destiny, that He would come and lead humanity, He has in earnest come to accomplish the set task.
If any person instructs you to fornicate or commit adultery with them, and claims, that the instructions are from God. No matter who the person is, or the position they occupy in the Kingdom; it is a woeful lie. God cannot, and will not instruct anybody to indulge in any sinful act. Also make the person to be conscious of the fact that God cannot instruct anybody to indulge in sins.
If a person tells you that God instructed him to tell you that you should embrace righteousness and be virtuous, you should keep to such instruction religiously because it is from God. In whatever fellowship and group you find yourself, always abide by any instruction given which is from God irrespective of the age, status, position and educational attainment of the person.
Here in this Kingdom, no one has the authorisation to do things out of their free volition. Nobody has a right to flout what the gospels ask us to do; instead, we should follow the Holy Spirit without resistance. Your problems emanate from the fact that you do not listen to the Holy Spirit in you. This is why you see most chairpersons, secretaries and other executive members of different organisations in this Kingdom not agreeing with one another. The reason is that, when this person tries to listen to the spirit, the other listens to the flesh. Consequently, their decision became conflicting. I am telling you the veritable truth that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is not of this world but from God.
If someone from another church informs you of instructions they received from God, and continue to advise you to fast and celebrate a love feast. Do exactly that, for it is from God. Never you shun the advice by claiming that he is not a member of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. In the same vein, if a member of Presbyterian church advises you, that God says, you should refrain from keeping the boyfriend you have been keeping. You will have to refrain from such an act, because the instruction is from God.

CRUSADERS ARE THE SOLDIERS OF GOD
Many of you here long ago were asked to come here by the Father, but you refused. So your coming here today is not the work of the flesh and blood, but it is the will of God. However, having come here. Your problems have been solved. We are those who worship God in Spirit and in Truth. Many of you reject vision, regarding it as false. That is why you become annoyed and regret ever going on a ministry work to another place if a vision directs you to do so, and you will remark that such vision is a false one. You will then go on to quote that; “the Father has never been at the Village Square yet masquerade beats up his child at the same place”. Nothing would harm you in this Kingdom if you were obedient to the Father” yet it is your act of disobedience that deprives you of the Father’s protection and blessings.
It is advisable to be in the spirit, and by so doing we would not do what pleases the flesh. There is a saying that anyone who lives according to the dictate of the flesh shall die, while someone who lives according to the dictate of the spirit shall live forever. We do not have any business in segregating against non-members and embracing our members. Rather we should love everybody equally. Your coming here this week depicts that you are all crusaders. You are all soldiers of God. You have all been commissioned by the Father to come into the Kingdom this week.
Before now, when the Father used to call you, you would resist the call into this Kingdom and imbibe the gospel from the horse’s mouth. You would attribute your inability to respond to the call to financial problem. It is high time you all come into the Kingdom from all parts of the world to imbibe gospels from the horse’s mouth. Believe fervently that by your coming to 34 Ambo Street, your testimonies are on the way, and all your problems are no more. Here in the Kingdom, there is no sickness, healthy, poor or rich, beautiful or ugly, person. For we are all one in the Lord.
Some of you lament that you do not hold any position of responsibility in this Kingdom. I would love to ask you whether you are not a Brotherhood? Never allow such thought to disturb you, instead, always listen to the spirit and abide by the instructions He gives you. By so doing, you are all right. He is the Father who sends one on an errand and goes along to accomplish the task by Him. He does everything. So it is insignificant for you to claim that you are illiterate, inexperienced, wretched, etc. As such you cannot do anything. He has even told you not to be anxious of what you would speak. When you are faced with any difficulty, the Holy Spirit will delivers you, it is not you who speak, but the spirit of the Father in you. This is a proof that He is the one who does all things for us.
God knows what is good and would always enjoin you to do only what is good. He knows that respecting the leaders is good, hence, He admonishes you to be obedient to them. Therefore, if a person tells you that God says you should disobey your leader, you should discard such advice and make it clear to him that such advice does not come from God. Let no person stop you from being charitable to the needy, orphans, destitute, widows, etc., for it is God’s instruction that such people should receive care. He has also enjoined you not to begrudge anyone or to be recalcitrant in your matrimonial homes. He has also enjoined us not to behave as if we were hopeless and comfortless, but to put everything into prayer. In addition, we have to practise the word of God. As many that have received baptism into this Kingdom, are the soldiers of God. Their assignment is to serve God every day of their lives. Read the first lesson again:

1st Lesson St John 5: 30
“I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgement is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me”

GOD OWNS YOU
As a sequel to the above excerpt, you are not the owner of yourself. Rather, it is God who owns you. He is also the one to instruct and lead you, and so, you, should refrain from speaking and doing things out of your free volition. In the compound where you live, there are virgins, even though the Father has been requesting virgins, to be brought here to serve Him. Although they are yet to come, whenever the spirit in them persuade them to come, they would all be here because this is not the time that people do things out of their free volition. The Father is often talking to us and directing us on what to do.
As the international chairperson of this Fellowship testified, there was a child of God in Lagos whom the Father commissioned to go to the prison and preach to people there. At the completion of the assignment, about thirty prisoners received baptism into this Kingdom. So this is a proof that it is the Father who directs all to accomplish every task. Anyone who does things out of his or her free volition cannot please God. Hence, they will surly die, whereas a person, who works according to the Holy Spirit’s directive, would live.
The Holy Spirit who is in our heart is jealous and desirous of our service. He needs us so seriously to avert being condemned along with other people of the world. We are God’s temples, but the people of the world are not aware of this fact. However, the Holy Spirit reveals it that we are His temples. Hence, we should not defile ourselves with sin, particularly fornication. We should live according to the dictate of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, if there is something you vowed not to resolve in your life, but the Holy Spirit directs you to resolve the situation, be sure you abide by that directive.
There is a brother in Warri – Delta State, who was given a vision by a small boy, to go on a ministry work to three stations. At the end of it, he should celebrate Feast. This brother who is a Pastor, instead of abiding by the vision, decided to scold the boy, and saw the boy as an inconsequential person. The boy reiterated to the Pastor, that the vision was from God. That non-compliance with it would result in his dismissal from office, divorce by his spouse, selling of his car and house, and that he would not have a place to shelter his children.
Despite the emphasis, the Pastor scoffed at the vision because it came from a poor small boy. In a characteristic way, the Pastor refused to obey the vision. By then, he was a boss in his place of work and had many houses and properties. After one year, the Pastor was dismissed from work. His wife left him. He sold all his property and did not have refuge for his children. Finally, he came here and testified, advising other members that no one should scoff at the Holy Spirit’s directives. So many people are disobedient and stubborn.

The scripture says:
“If we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world” (Corinthians11:31-32).

A true child of this Kingdom does not belong to any particular Bethel. Instead, they go into every nook and cranny of the world, serving the Father according to the instructions from the Holy Spirit. This explains why we have the song, ‘My disciples be ever ready by day and by night’. Do not give directives to people out of your free volition. Instead, instruct people as the Holy Spirit in you directs. Make sure you direct according to the Holy Spirit’s directive, irrespective of the position of the person you are sent to, so that you might be justified for being obedient. The receiver of the message may receive judgement accordingly, depending on his response to the instruction.
Since we have knowledge of the fact that His advice is life everlasting. We should be obedient to Him and make sure we do not resist an evil doer. The contentment of all couples with their partners is essential. On no account should you commit adultery with someone’s husband or wife. On no account must you be harsh with your children. Never segregate against any person or group of persons, but accept every one. Husbands and wives should respect each other; because a couple is one, you need to endure each other. God is not lazy and He is not an idle Being. That was why Christ said that His Father worketh hitherto and He works. Therefore God cannot instruct anybody to be a parasite. Instead, He gives everyone the ability to find for his daily bread.
Read the second lesson again
2nd Lesson St. John 12: 49-50
“For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”

LIFE ETERNAL
Make sure you refrain from adding to or subtracting from the Father’s instructions, and do not ever do what the Father does not ask you to do. In short, whenever you wish to put any message that is from God across to the listeners, tell the people the message as you receive from God as His advice constitutes life eternal.
Here in this Kingdom, it is the dictates of the Holy Spirit that everyone adheres. Besides, it is not the knowledge of education, or wealth acquisition, or beauty that is used to accomplish many spiritual assignments. Rather, it is the Father’s directives, which are used as imputes to accomplish every spiritual work in this Kingdom. The knowledge, power, and doctrine that are here in the Kingdom are not of this world, but from God.
There lived a woman who was revealed to go and minister prayers on a pregnant woman, but she refused. As a result of that, the pregnant woman gave birth to a premature child. The woman (a visioner) became lame, a price she paid for her negligence of duty. This is the cause of most problems of many people in this Kingdom.
There was also another person asked to undertake ministry work to three stations, but he refused. As a consequence, his plague was hernia. He took the sickness to hospital, it was not an easy thing to be identifying, but each time he came back home, and the hernia would re-appear. One day, he decided to go on the ministry work as was directed. Where he went, the demarcation was a river. Hence, he crossed the river to the place. While on his way to the place he felt like defecating and as he went into a nearby bush to defecate, he observed at that spot, that the hernia disappeared to date.
There are many stories here in the Kingdom for you. Moreover, your disobedience deprives you of such joy and glory. There are some people here in the Kingdom who have stayed for up to three decades, without consulting medical doctor for any sickness. Rather, what they do when they are sick, is knock their heads on the ground, fast, pay tithe, give free will offering, etc., healing them of their sickness. So there is no sickness, fear, deceit, loneliness, etc., here in the Kingdom.
Your problem emanates from the fact that you have failed to understand that the words imparted to you are from God; hence, you act contrary to them. Here in the Kingdom all the things done and words spoken are from God. You should therefore discard the habit of treating the word of God with levity. The shoe that we do not put on, and all other doctrines practices here in the Kingdom, are not pronounced by Me to be practised. Rather, it is the Father who pronounced such practices. The word of the Father is efficacious and that is why I do not toy with it and do not wish any of you to toy with it. Always be charitable to the needy and widows, for these people are Brotherhood. Never impute sin to anyone. Do not hate and begrudge anyone, for these are the words of God.
Always listen to the Holy Spirit at every time, and make sure you abide by His injunctions. Whatever He directs you to do, you must. Never allow financial problem to debar you from doing whatever God advises you to do. Any time you set of to do whatever God directs you. He is ever ready to accomplish such assignment for you by himself. The scripture has it that, as many as hear God’s word would follow Him. So always listen to Him and do not doubt His instructions, for by so doing you would be His, and salvation is yours. Do not fail to relate God’s message to whoever it is meant for, and do not claim to be a visioner. You are all visioners of God, and His mouthpiece.

HOPE IN GOD
submit yourself to Him always, and make sure your hope and boast is in Him. In so doing, He would lead you to the accurate knowledge of truth. Establish your faith and hope in Him. Do all that He directs you to do for his directives are true and wholesome. When the angel of God advised Joseph to flee with our Lord Jesus Christ, so that He would escape being killed by Herod, there was no trouble in the city. Joseph did not raise an objection to the instruction. In the same vein, you have to emulate what Joseph did by always keeping to whatever advice God gives you without asking questions. Read the Golden text again:

GOLDEN TEXT St. John 6: 45
“It is written in the Prophets, and they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore, that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.”

WHO ARE THE REAL CRUSADERS:
Beloved, following the excerpt above, it is a veritable truth, that as many as imbibe God’s words and practice them, would follow Him. While those who do not imbibe His words, and refuse to practice them. He would condemn. The many that do things out of their free volition, at the expense of God’s directive, would receive perdition as their reward. Let us be the set of Crusaders who imbibe and practise His words, so that we are called Crusaders by example.
When Saul attempted to kill David, David went and hid in a certain bush. Then God made it clear to David, that should he continue to hide there, Saul would kill him. He should therefore flee from the place. Immediately, David fled the place. You always sing that the spirit of the living God should come and lead you, as it is written, that He shall lead. There is no statement that neither a person nor an angel shall lead. Instead, it is the Holy Spirit who is to lead. Therefore, shun all other people’s leadership and subject yourself to His leadership alone.
The children of God are often informed of what would happen, before such event takes place, so that there is nothing happening in the world, which surprises them.
If you have not been taking the word of God seriously before. You should start now to practise them seriously. Whenever you are faced with one tribulation or the other, He is always there to tell you that the tribulation is a price for your disobedience, or is to test your faith in God. So always listen to Him so that you will be able to face any tribulation that befalls you with confidence.
If God instructs you not to board nor drive any vehicle throughout a certain interval of time, make sure you do just that. This is because there is a reason for giving you such instruction.

During Men’s Fellowship with the Father last week, the international chairman of the Fellowship testified, that when he came here last April, he knew that the Father would not fail to wash his feet among the twelve apostles. Hence, he decided to stay on till that night. Now a day to that day, one of the brethren who came with him that time, wanted him to accompany him home. The brother did not remember what he resolved to do and so he accompanied the brother home. On their way, they had a motor accident. During the time the Father performed the washing of the feet, the Father asked about this brother only to be informed that he had left for home. This brother blamed himself for being disobedient to the Father’s advice. This constitutes the problem we have in this Kingdom.
Disobedience brings diverse problems to human beings. That is why those whom the Father reveals Himself to and they refuse to recognise and embrace Him often have problems, as testified by many of our brethren.

Let those who have ears hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

Thank you Good Father.

“THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HOLY GHOST AND THE PROMISED COMFORTER”

Our Lord Jesus Christ said to His disciples in Matthew 19: 11 “But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.” Also, “it is written in the prophets, and they shall be all taught of God. Everyman therefore that hath heard and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me”. (St. John 6: 45).

Now that Pastors, Reverends, Bishops etc, of Christendom receive lectures from Bible colleges and seminaries, is the spirit of God there? Or are they taught by God? The need for this article comes after many preachers have visited My quarters and preached what they do not know about the promise Jesus Christ made to His disciples in Acts 1: 1-5 and fulfilled in Act 2: 14. Intellectual Christians confuse the showering down of the “HOLY GHOST”, that descended on the apostles to mean the Comforter, John 16: 7-8.

The Father teaches the reality and leads to the consciousness of the truth about this. The Holy Ghost was the Spirit of the Patriarchs, which our Lord Jesus Christ released from bondage during His three days and three nights in the grave. These combination spirit: Unity of One, settled on the apostles making them to speak in different tongues according to their nationalities when they were in the physical nations. Then their respective tongues in Acts 2: 1-7. We should not regard this as the Promised Comforter, whose power is the first and the last. He is the ‘Greatest Teacher’. His magnetic and overwhelming power is not to be compared to or with that of the Holy Ghost of the day of Pentecost. What has confused the theologians of this age is that our Lord Jesus Christ did not mention how the Comforter will come from the Father. So with the absence of how John 15: 26 will manifest, they all conclusively believe that the Holy Ghost that descended upon the apostles was the Promised Comforter. The indisputable fact is that if the Comforter or the Teacher had come, nobody on earth would have killed any apostle. Not even a hair would have fallen from their heads. For the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

Take for instance, the members of Brotherhood, though they are full with sinfulness, no angel nor demon can strike any of them, even the smallest child in their midst since the comforter is in their midst. St. John 16: 13. Our Lord Jesus Christ did not mention how or when he will come. If He comes as any Christian brethren supposes, that is, as a spirit, no one will take notice of him. Our physical eyes believe in physical things and not in abstract things. But Jesus Christ did not come as an abstract influence, but the word, which was made flesh, and dwells among us, and we behold His glory.

The expression “WHEN HE COMES”, here refers to something that can be seen, touched and conversed with, not air as the Christians imagine. I want the theologians and wise men of this world to explain to the entire world if the pronoun “HE” can be used for things not seen with naked eyes.
In my understanding, “HE” here refers to a personality, not air. The Spirit takes form by passing through a woman so that human beings can see and touch him. If this is always the natural course for any spirit to become a human being, should the intellectual mind deceive you that the Comforter shall not have flesh and bones so that we may as usual behold His glory. The Comforter has arrived, taking the usual course of manifestation, for he who will do the duty of Comforter must be seen by those whom He comforts.

Let those who have ears hear. May God bless His Holy words. Amen.

Thank You Good Father.

THE DIVINE ULTIMATUM

FIRST LESSON: JOHN 4:23
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

SECOND LESSON: JOHN 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 23:8
But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

THE PROMISES
Beloved,Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.” (John 10:8). He also said “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24)
He has come to tell and teach you everything as was stated that, “Howbeit when he, the spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth; for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, and he will shew you things to come”. (John 16:13)
What you have read would inform you that the Father is now on earth. Let us believe, accept and stand by Him. He is the only one who can lead and protect us. If we believe that the Holy Spirit has come, let us abide by His injunctions. He has come to lead us, therefore whether you are in the moon, sky, sun, earth or other places of manifest, you are enjoined to accept and abide by Him; for He has come for you. It is worth mentioning that every devilish act in the world has been destroyed and buried. To confirm this, Our Lord Jesus Christ said, ‘It is finished’.

Everything (idol) worshipped by man is dethroned, for the Holy Spirit has come to lead and direct. As far as the kingdom is concerned, He is the Leader, Guide, Guardians and Doer of everything. Many people waste their time studying the bible and carrying out investigations with a view to knowing the way of God. The Holy Spirit has now come to teach all things and lead you to the accurate knowledge of truth.
Other teachings apart from the ones that emanate from the Holy Spirit are vain and false. Remember it was stated thus: “When he, the spirit of Truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth, for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, and he will shew you all things to come”. (John 16:13)
Noah and other prophets came and preached the word of God, but the Holy Spirit has come by Himself to teach and bring all things to light for you. Many people do not believe that the Holy Spirit has come, and those who believe are not carrying out His instructions. There is no difference between those who have not believed and those who believed but refused to carry out His injunctions.

According to the spiritual Chorus: “Good Shepherd, teach us thy way as the Creator”. He is the good shepherd and Creator. It is time we discard all mundane teachings imbibed from men and angels. Such teachings are out-dated and should be packed into the ‘museum’. The Holy Spirit has come to teach. The advice is for us to receive the teachings of the Holy Spirit since it is the only teaching meant for us.
Absorb the teachings and put them into practice. He has come to teach and lead us as it was destined. At no time has it been said that an angel or man will teach Man. It is only the Holy Spirit that has been destined to teach man; and He has come to do so.

THE EMERGENCE OF GOD
God has come to put into practice all His injunctions. He has come by Himself to teach love, peace, kindness, patience and other virtues of God. It is now our sole task to listen to the word of God and put it into practice. It should be noted that imparting the word of God to people and practising it are not similar. The man who practises the word of God is the one who is counted as righteous. The only way to practise the word of God is to abide by the teachings you have received. This is the only time you have to practise the word of God wherever you are; for such are the people needed by God. The Father is day in day out teaching us what He is. Endeavour to practise what you have seen and what you have heard from Me; for this is the right time meant for everyone to practise the word.
The Law of Moses stipulates, ‘return every slap for every slap received’ because then it is an eye for an eye’. What would we gain if we adhere to this law? What would be the sign of you being children of God? Some people assert that, God has no children. If God has no children, who are you? Are we not the children of God? The teachings brought in this era would attract salvation to us if put into practice. If we love the people we see, it would mean we love God and conversely, if we love God, we would love the people we see. It is stated: ‘if you love not the man, which you have seen with your eyes, how then can you love God, which you see not? If you cannot venerate man whom you see, how can you pass the veneration to God, the unseen being?

THE PURPOSE OF HIS COMING
It is as a result of the problems in the world that the Holy Spirit has come by Himself to teach and lead us to the accurate knowledge of truth. Therefore, you are to abide by the teachings of the Holy Spirit. Beloved, so long as God is love, we must love one another, sanctify our body and abide by His injunctions, because He has come to lead and teach us. The Father has stated that God is light and they that are God’s must refrain from the work of darkness and follow light for God Himself is light. Once there is light, darkness disappears, because darkness and light are incompatible. Everything regarded, as powerful is God. Everything good and pleasant is God.
All righteousness, truthfulness and light are God. Although churches wage war against Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, yet when the light of God overshadow them, they are frightened and run away. It is because of this that:

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.” (John 4:19-22)
Now He has come with His doctrine, you should love one another, remain united, desist from eating of meat, and fish, and refrain from fornication, adultery, backbiting, murder as well as other forms of atrocities. It is only when you abide by His instructions that you have no problems. We should be thankful to the Father for the words given to us. And as the children of God, let us put His words into practice. Your problems lie in your refusal to practise the word of God. You would have no problems if you abide by His love and injunctions.

Let our first lesson be read again.

FIRST LESSON JOHN 4:23
“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.”
SPIRITUAL CHORUS: ‘I have come by myself; so that the strayed sheep would not perish’.

GOD OF REDEMPTION
Now, the Father has come by Himself to redeem us from bondage of the devil. All those who abide by His teachings shall be free. If you have not done anything to show that you are a child of God, God Himself would not recognise you. Let all your deeds prove that you are a child of God and let your fruits be that of God. Your deeds should not constitute confusion before God, but should expose and displease the works of the devil. Endeavour to always practise the injunctions of God. How can you overcome the world and become a man of God, if you do not stop seeking mundane things but seek God’s ordinances?
It would be very difficult to see or communicate with God when you do not abide by His injunctions. It is only obedient children who stand by, accept, recognise, glorify and have regard for God’s words that would dwell with Him till eternity. The light has come to illuminate the work of all men. Therefore, abide by His words and forget the teachings of the carnal prophets. The Father and the Holy Spirit have come to teach mankind. Find consolation in the words of God so you could overcome all the evil around you. Invite the Holy Spirit into your heart. He is the light, way, truth and life. The world and its passions shall pass away, but the word of God shall reign forever.

Let our second lesson be read:

SECOND LESSON: JOHN 14:26
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”

THE NAKED TRUTH
Brethren, I have always told you the truth that the Holy Spirit has come and salvation has been extended to you. All things shall pass away but the word of God shall never pass away. Not even an iota (of His words) shall be laid to waste until all are fulfilled. The salvation of God shall be extended to us on condition that we abide by His injunctions. We have been told that God is a Spirit. That spirit is now teaching us everything. God is light and truth. Whosoever continues in truth is of God.
Christ said,

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. (John 15:1-2)
He also revealed that saying, “And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.” (John 10:16)

THE ONLY JUDGE
God is responsible for what you now see in the world. God is the only judge. Accordingly, you should refer all your problems to Him. He is the three in one God; Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Commit all your problems to the only ruler of the universe; go from house to house preaching the word of God, and evangelising the world with divine word, which you have heard. If you had done these and converted others, the blessings of God could have been yours. This is the new teaching that He has brought to us.

THE LAST MANIFESTATION
Have you not seen what is happening in Nigeria and the world at large? This is the last manifestation. It is only those who abide in Him that shall be saved. You are dead if you are without the Holy Spirit of God. But if you have the Holy Spirit, you are free; you would be with God and God with you till eternity. Remain in Him and abide by His teachings. The Holy Spirit is not in you as long as you do not have love.
The Comforter has come and all His children shall be with Him. Those who speak evil against the Holy Spirit have already perished. The Holy Spirit has come to teach peace, joy, love, and truth. He says, “Call no other man teacher for He (Holy Spirit) is the only Teacher”. I want you to realise that love is the foundation of the kingdom. Love is the foundation of all virtues and fortunes. We should rejoice that the Holy Spirit has come to reign in His kingdom. Every carnal thing has been cast away, and the people in existence fall under the canopy of the Holy Spirit.

Let the golden text be read again.

GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 23:8
“But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.”
Beloved, just as you have heard from the texts, you are equally the pillars of this ministry. It does not stop at only learning. Learning is not complete until that, which is learnt is put into practice.

THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL CENTRE, ITS TASK
This Gospel must spread throughout the world. The Everlasting Gospel Centre should disseminate this Gospel to the world. Every Gospel should be recorded, translated, edited, typed, proof-read, re-edited, sent to the Father for final reading and corrections made and published for the world to read. This is their work, to evangelise the world through the Father’s Gospel. If you know how to fight, quarrel, gossip and engage in other types of sin, from henceforth refrain from all those vices because the Holy Spirit has come to reveal the secret of the kingdom to you.
Through you there would be no more problem in the world, and also through you there would be peace in the world. Refrain from doing the things that do not glorify the Father. Adhere to the words of God so that the Father would be glorified. Remember that He said, “For unto the hypocrites, unto the Pharisees and unto those who do not keep my Father’s commandment, I shall say unto them, depart from me ye workers of iniquities”.
Therefore, refrain from sin and embrace love and righteousness. This is why I teach you love and also practise it. If we should abide by His teachings, everybody would be saved and through you they would know God. Propagate love in the world because with the Holy Spirit love covers iniquities of man. All the carnal teachings of the world shall be cast into a lake of fire. The teachings received by lawyers, police, soldiers and the entire world are what would destroy them. As true Brotherhood, stop listening to angels and man. Only listen to the Holy Spirit. Let the Holy Spirit be the one to direct you throughout your life, so that it might be well with you till eternity.

Beloved, a stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. Let those who have ears, hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the entire world. Amen.

Thank You Good Father.

“THE EVIL OF MATERIALISM”

FIRST LESSON: ST. MATTHEW 10: 37
“He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me”.

SECOND LESSON: ST. LUKE 14: 26
“If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple”.

GOLDEN TEXT: ST. LUKE 9: 61-62
“And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. And Jesus said unto him, No man having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God”.

SELF-DENIAL FOR SALVATION
Beloved, the three bible texts you have read constitute the spiritual food prepared for you in this gospel. The spiritual song, which says, the marriage feast was done, but those invited refused to come, is meant for those who have been ordained pastors. If I should ask, what has really brought us to Brotherhood?
There is a saying, which instructs us to sell our precious stone only to those who knows its worth. Also, there is a biblical excerpts which has it that, we should not place our precious things before the swine, (St. Matthew 7: 6). My calling you into the Kingdom is not for you to come and donate money, neither is it for you to come and sing and dance but in order that I may feed you with the “Spiritual Food”. Most of you have been boasting of many years of your membership in the fold. But I am telling you the veritable truth that so long as you are yet to practice the gospel preached here; the many years you have spent here avail you nothing. Whoever fails to benefit from this gospel should know that he has failed to practice what is written in the first and second Bible texts.

Our Lord Jesus Christ has explained to us what really constitutes the Kingdom of God. It is likened to a treasure, hidden in a field, which a man discovered and in his joy decides to sell all that he had in order to buy the field. (St. Matthew 13: 44). Beloved, there is a spiritual chorus, which says that, you should sell all that you have and follow after the Lord. What do you think you are expected to sell and follow after the Lord? God Himself has said it openly that He is a jealous God. The testimony from one of My sons from America advises that we should always embark on evangelism to the outside world, teaching the people all what the Father has taught us, that we should avoid idleness. The good news preached to us here are meant for everybody. It also added that it is incumbent on you to make sure that you practice those teachings I impart to you. So beloved, judging from the message provided to you in this gospel, it is imperative that, you come into the hall, get the teachings imparted to you and also go out and impart the same to others. So beloved, the gospel of this day has its theme reproving you of your wrong doings and eradicating such errors.
Whoever comes in here, but fails to purge himself of all forms of material things is not worthy of the Kingdom. No matter the position one occupies here in the Kingdom, whether he is a child of God, Christ’s Servants/Students, pastors, deaconess etc., so long as he continues to love his mother, father, sisters, brothers, husband, wife and material things of this world, he is not worthy for this Kingdom. Therefore, the effort of such a person towards the progress of the Father’s work is in vain.
The injunction contained in the texts for this very gospel is not meant for only the poor, the needy and the disabled, but to all and sundry, irrespective of age and status. So, anyone who intends to inherit the Kingdom of God needs to forgo all forms of materialism.

Long ago, Christ spoke to us through His apostles and prophets among them were Paul, Peter, John and many others. But now, God is personally telling us that we are the luckiest set of people. Many people who do not have the opportunity of getting to the Headquarters received blessings whenever they read our publications and practice what is printed there in. If this is the case, how much more those who hear from the horse’s mouth and practice it.
Beloved, we need to embrace peace and shun violence, segregation, and quarrelling and other vices. This is because; it is such things that tend to destroy the image of God in us. So beloved, note that whoever comes in here with the ulterior motive of having money, houses, children, husband, wife etc., is bound to return home empty handed. This is because these things would not be made available to you. If you keep on begging for money and other material things from people, what would you say was your main aim of being called into the Kingdom? Anyone who indulges in such acts could not be rewarded with any thing godly, irrespective of the number of years spent in the fold.

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is never a hidden organization. So, for it to be well pronounced, we need to practice the word of God wholeheartedly for the four corners and the whole world to see. In fact, we should be such a set of people who always instruct the outsiders that, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is a sin-free Kingdom. This instruction can only be imbibed, if only we purge ourselves of every sin. So whoever wishes to practice this very gospel should go ahead, and on the other hand, whoever feels he cannot refrain from sinfulness should continue. But the fact is that, this gospel is nothing but a veritable truth. Since the people of the world do not embrace the truth, they do not intend to practice this gospel with the truth in it.
Anyone who keep on calling on Jesus, Jehovah and God at all times, but still loves his mother, father, wife, children and things of the world more than Christ is wasting his time because, such a person is not worthy of the Kingdom of God. Your failure to practice the injunction in this gospel means that you regard the injunction of God as a mere conversation without substance. In the same vein, anyone who does not forsake all that he has and follow God is bound to return empty as he came. Your failure to preach the gospel deprives you of the Kingdom of God. We have been told that one servant cannot serve two masters. You cannot love the world and God at the same time. It is this very thing that makes the whites, the blacks and all the churches not to be able to practice the gospel preached. So beloved, for us to be able to practice the gospel of God, we need to purge ourselves of all forms of materialism and the lust for carnal comfort. Most people wish to see the Father face to face in the vestry, but the question is, have you heard what is preached to you and put it into practice?

Furthermore, hearing and practicing the gospels preached, was narrated to us in the parable of the sower, for details, read St. Matthew 13: 3-8. From the parable contained in the passage, whoever listens to the word of God and practices the same has done the greatest work so far. Therefore, it is of no use for you to hear without practicing the word of God. But anyone who hears and practices the word of God at the same time, and also imparted the same to others is himself a ‘fisher of men’.
Again, the seeds said to have fallen upon thorns and were accordingly choked up could be likened to people who have heard and imbibe the gospel preached to them but due to their lust for materialism, they fall out of the path of rectitude. The act of coming into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star purely for the purpose of amassing wealth irrespective of the position of God, is what is happening in your midst. Moreover, it is also not uncommon to see such people derailing from the path of rectitude or abstaining from serving God, after being blessed abundantly by God. This explains the reason why David asked God not to give him too much, in order that, he might not be distracted from serving God. At the same time, he pleaded that God should not stop to provide for him with the necessities of life, so that he would not curse the name of God to be dragged into mud.

Once you have been crowned a king and provided with massive wealth, you are bound to shun the services of God. Much of your attention would be drawn to the comfort around you. The statement of David has brought to a manifestation all the words of God. The so-called distinguished people of this world do not always wish to serve God wholeheartedly. Rather, what you find them discussing at all times, is the welfare and growth of their various businesses. The distinguished and wealthy people of this world, are always money conscious. How would a money conscious person be able to serve God at the expense of his income-generating ventures?
Considering the parable of the sower as contained in the bible, the seeds said to have fallen on the rocky ground in which they had not much soil to sustain immediately they sprang up, they wither away because they were not deep rooted. This could be likened to those who embrace the word of God, but at a time when temptation and frustration start to set in, they easily fall out from the service of God.

Beloved, it is our failure to practice the word of God that deprives us of having testimonies. The question now is, what really do those people who are in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star for two to three decades, but still lack testimonies, come to do in the fold? What is their business here? Christ bore eloquent testimony to the truth. Therefore, we need to bear witness to the truth, beauty, power, glory and love inherent in the word of God. It is also our place to impart such to people all over the world. We are not to seek for wife, husband and other material things.
The other set of seeds said to have fallen along the path, and was picked by the birds. Could be likened to those people who take delight in listening to the words of God, but due to the fact that the preacher of the gospel is alleged to be a Beelzebub, mermaid, ghost and other imaginable evil things cannot imbibe the teachings of God. And those are the set of people who always profess openly that they cannot, and will not worship an ordinary man, but the real God Almighty and His Son, Jesus Christ. Nevertheless, beloved, it is not uncommon to see some of such people being completely converted to God and changed when preached to. But when they are advised that God only save those who save themselves, and as such, one should prepare concoction for speedy solution to his problems. Being ignorant and too flexible the person abides by such ill advice and derails from the path of rectitude. That was the reason why Paul instructed Barnabas to accompany him back to where they had earlier gone to preach to the people in case the evil one went there to make them fall. Read this in Acts 15: 36. Beloved, have you seen what constitute your failure and problems? It is not the listening to and assimilating the word of God that matter, rather, it is your being able to stand firm as a righteous man when problems and temptation befall you.

YOUR WEALTH COULD BE A SOURCE OF TEMPTATION TO YOU
Your temptation could emanate from the wealth you are blessed with, the position you are exalted to and your shortcomings. But those seeds said to have fallen on the good soil and brought forth much seeds could be likened to those who hear, imbibe and practice the word of God at all times. Anyone, who says that he wants God and money, at the same time, has failed. In the same vein, whoever wants God along side with a wife or husband as the case may be, has also failed. Anyone, who desires God and the glory of this world, has failed.
But whoever desires God, must of necessity, forgo all the things of the world. Without that, he or she has failed woefully. God is Spirit and does not dwell in defiled abode. That is the reason why He always forsakes us whenever we defile His temple (our bodies). God is worthy to be praised and glorified. In fact, God has no rival in the whole world. The peace, love, mercy, goodness and other virtues, possess by God, are not and would never be possessed by anyone in the whole world. The worshipping of God is very interesting, enjoyable, profitable and full of life.
This is because, in Him, you find glory, love, peace, mercy, power and all the good things of life. The word of God is so satisfying that, if supplies all the needs and desires of all those who practice it. Beloved, what is that which cannot be provided to us, if only we practice the teachings of God. Your requests before God, could always be given positive response, if you have mortified the flesh and consecrated yourself for God. This is because it is after having mortified the flesh that God (the Holy Spirit) can dwell in you. It is quite a fact that most people coming into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is purely for the purpose of having protection, healing and being provided with one thing or the other. But anyone who comes in here with such motive has failed woefully. So beloved, bear it in mind that, whoever comes into Brotherhood with the sole aim of acquiring material things has failed.

AN INEXHAUSITBLE WEALTH
God is the creator of Heaven and Earth and the things therein. He is the sole supplier of truth, love, mercy, peace, goodness and power. The blessing of God has no limit. But when I see you being deprived of such blessings as a result of your failure to mortify the flesh, and render services to God, I pity you greatly. That is why I always say that blindness is among the worst diseases. Though some people do not wish to practice the word of God yet, the whole world has been engulfed by the word. Since it is meant that the coming of the Spirit of Truth should lead you to the accurate knowledge of truth, it must happen so. He would not make any pronouncement on His own, but will bring to your knowledge all that Christ taught. St. John 16: 13. Read our first lesson again:

FIRST LESSON: ST. MATTHEW 10: 37
“He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me”.

YOUR LOVE FOR GOD SHOULD BE INDIVISIBLE
Through Paul, Christ said that, if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those whom the God of this world has blinded their eyes. But for those who were ever waiting for this gospel, the gospel cannot be hidden from them, rather, it would always be clear to them. Beloved, when you regard as a joke the fact that, we are in the Kingdom of God, but not in the kingdom of the world, I always pity you. This is the Kingdom, where people will be supplied with everlasting joy, peace. That brother from America has seen the truth and has been saved. The word of God has it thus:

“I say then have they stumbled that they should fall; God forbid, but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. Romans 11:11.

From the above text, have you seen the extent to which the Israelites suffered right from inception, for refusing to adhere to the word of God; instead they clung to the material things of this world. Now, the Jews are so impoverished that they have lost both the Kingdom of God and the material things they lusted for. That brother from America rightly confessed that there is nothing in America to be much desired of. He said that, it is a waste of money to pay much money to fly to that place for anything. What is your main aim of longing to go to America, after being informed that America is the land of Satan? You are anxious to go to India, for one thing or the other. The question is have you not seen Indians trooped in here? What do you think you can gain by going to India? You claim that the country is full of magic and so, she is spiritually powerful. Some people would want to go to England to get power. I wonder what they gain by their sojourn.
This Kingdom is life everlasting. The long expected Kingdom has arrived, but you fail to enter because of your uncontrolled desire for material things of this world. Whoever loves his or her parents or material things of this world cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. I repeatedly let you know that there is abundant wealth in Brotherhood and employment opportunities but requires truthful people. Man’s problems emanate from the fact that he is totally besotted with material things. You should realize that your persistent crave for material things constitute your problems.
If you put your mind in money, children, and wife or in anything in this world, you have failed. All those material things abound in this Kingdom. Do you seek for respect, praise, and peace or kingship position? All the things you have in the world can easily lead to your untimely death. The children of God do not seek for such things. Once they receive the word of God, they have inherited everything.

TESTIMONY
The testimony given by Sister Odudu is in fact, the plain truth. At Atlanta Bethel, in U.SA, a white lady who is the mother of the Bethel, is seriously praying the Father to send someone to sponsor her transport fare to the Headquarters of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star in order to come and stay with the Father. However, the Father is yet to grant the request. There are numerous white people who the Father has called to Himself. All of them are ready to come down here to work for the Father.
You can easily tell the weights of both edible oil and that of water if only you have ever bore the two. Therefore, you should know that this Kingdom of God, which you now joke with as a result of your quest for money will be something regrettable tomorrow. You should wait and see. A little while, the gate will close. I have preached everything and I have done everything, but what remains is for you to put into practice what I have been imparting to you. But you continue to quarrel, tell lies, steal, fight and indulge in all manners of sin. Even before visitors, your behavior is nothing to be desired of. Obviously, it is possible to hide your sins from man but is it possible to hide anything from God? It is wisely said that, whoever loves his own father or mother more than God is not worthy of Him. And whoever loves his own sister or brother more than God is not also worthy of Him. You have all read of what happened to Our Lord Jesus Christ while He was teaching His disciples, someone went to inform Him that His parents; brothers and sisters were looking for Him. But He lifted up His hand and pointed to His disciples and asked ‘who is My mother, and who is My sister or brother’? ‘He Himself answered that they were those that abided by what pleases His Father who is in Heaven. He further said that such were His mother, sisters and brothers. Have you noted that?

Now in Brotherhood, for the fact that you have been ordained a bishop, a prophet, or a pastor, you go about bragging and celebrating feast and organize thanksgiving services to thank the Father for giving you a bishop or whatever. The question is, what significance do you attached to such things? On Sunday, 27th December 1992, Akwa Ibom indigents went to conduct a feast, of thanks giving for C.O. Akpan that God had given Akwa Ibom a bishop, that God loves Akwa Ibom and that He has given to them a bishop. Have you taken note of that? What is the meaning of such a thing? That is politics. Give Akwa Ibom what? What is Akwa Ibom and who is C.O. Akpan? You boast that your brother is this or that and for that reason, you feel so proud. I want to let you know that I am keeping watch of all of you.
Do we inherit this Kingdom with the flesh? Let us watch and see. You often claim to raise money to train your child who is in school, but you refuse to support any meaningful ventures here in the Kingdom. You give excuses for not participating in fund-raising activities. But God is everything and He is in everything as such, there is no white or black world. Give thanks to God for whatever you have done. If someone is being ordained as a bishop, your own part is to give thanks to God for His work. People should not use such ordination to boast their ego.
If you are a child of God, you should give thanks to God for we do that to bring glory to Him. Give thanks to God for the songs you render instead of giving thanks to man. If you give thanks to man, which could have been given to God, you should then know that you are controlled by the flesh.
Sometimes, you boast about Leader O.O. Obu, that He is the one that rules the heavens and the earth and that at the first time of His coming, He was a white person and now He is a black person. What do you mean by this? What child’s play is that? What did Israel do? And what did Asia do? And what did Europe do? Was it not that same thing? That is why it is said that whoever loves the things of this world more than God is not worthy of Him. People want their sons to be made prophets, pastors, and bishops. They want a particular husband and wife to be ordained. Many people would want their sons or daughters to be made Christ’s Student, Christ’s Servant. Their demands are endless. I wonder what material or spiritual benefits you derive from such requests. You claim that Leader Olumba Olumba Obu hails from Biakpan as such, He is your kinsman. Does your claim suggest that the Kingdom of God is from Biakpan? You would be making a mortal mistake to conjecture that Leader O.O. Obu is from here or there. Read the second lesson:

SECOND LESSON: ST. LUKE 14: 26
“If any man come to me, and hate not his father and mother, and wife, and children and brethren, and sisters, yea and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple”.

THE COMPONENTS OF GOD’S KINGDOM
I have told you to leave Olumba Olumba Obu alone, that we should center our conversation in the spirit. And that this Kingdom is not the handiwork of Leader O.O. Obu, rather, it is the Holy Spirit that constitutes the word of God, love, peace and the truth. It is good manners and understanding, steadfastness and straight forwardness. And these are the components of God’s Kingdom. I wish all the members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star would have come into the fold in spirit, they would not have had any problems in life. At no time have I made any mention about Biakpan or Cross River State, Nigeria or Africa nor Europe. What I speak is the word of God. I am not concerned about mundane things apart from the word of God. I have not told you that I am a native of this town or that. I have no concern about the phrase, ‘I am a native of…’ You should know that this Kingdom is the fulfillment of the glory of God. God has come by Himself but has not sent anybody. Therefore, beloved, even though we had known Our Lord Jesus Christ through the flesh but since then nobody knows any man any more by the flesh.
SALVATION COMES FROM GOD
When Our Lord Jesus Christ came, He lived in the flesh. It was said that salvation comes from the Jews. And this salvation does not come from Nigeria, and neither from Africa nor from Europe, but salvation comes from God. And for Jesus the Christ to say that His disciples should not go to the Gentiles, all cities of the Samaritans but only the lost sheep of Israel shows that He was in the flesh. The wholesome thing to do is to go to the entire would to make everybody disciple of God. Having known His inadequacies, Jesus the Christ then promised that the Holy Spirit would come to teach mankind and lead him to the accurate knowledge of truth. As such, it was expedient for Him to depart the world so that the Holy Spirit would come.
What has brought about the troubles in the whole world between the Arabs and Israelites was because Abraham had two wives and two children. One hailed from Israel and the other from Egypt and these women gave birth to two children-Ishmael and Isaac. The two children constitute the source of troubles today between Arabs and Israel. But the two warring countries have continued to kill each other. Then the question is, what type of God could there be, where there is no peace? Which God does these countries worship? A popular adage has it that; a blind man cannot lead another blind man. The source of man’s troubles is not from God but from man himself.

THE PROMISED CHILD
God made covenant with Israel. And Sarah was an Israelite and Abraham too, was an Israelite. But Hagar hailed from Egypt and was a housemaid to Sarah. Since God had made a covenant with Israel and not with Egypt, Ishmael could not rightly be the promised child, but unfortunately, Sarah did not have a child in time. As a result of uncontrolled desire for materialism, Sarah instructed Abraham to try Hagar, if she could be able to bear a child for Abraham since it was not possible for her (Sarah) to bear a child any longer, because of her old age. And Abraham, on abiding by the advice Sarah gave him, the attempt was successful and Hagar bore for Abraham a son, Ishmael.
As far as the reckoning of the world is concerned, Ishmael is the legitimate first son of Abraham. This was where problem emanates in the house of Abraham. As it is with the nature of man, Hagar saw herself as a co-wife to Sarah and as such, insulted her in some instances. As such, she attempted to send Sarah packing from her matrimonial home claiming she was the actual wife because she claimed that she was the first woman to give a child to Abraham. Hagar hailed from Egypt and God did not make His covenant with the Egyptian, but with the Israelites. At last, Sarah gave birth to Isaac, the promised child. And things changed automatically in the house of Abraham. And the time, which God asked Sarah to send Hagar and her child away, came. When Sarah succeeded in ejecting Hagar and her son from the house, Abraham was not in. But when he returned and saw Hagar and her child crying outside, he had pity on them and he became sorrowful. But since it was the directive of the Holy Spirit, for such to occur, nothing was done to bring back Hagar into the house. This explains the reason why we are told that, unless the Lord builds the house and watches the city, those builders and watchmen do such things in vain Psalm 127: 1. If God was not God, there could have been war in Abraham’s house. And that war could have soiled Abraham’s reputation. This story can be source in Genesis 21: 10-14.

God is a “Master Planner” as such, what happened was not a mistake. Hagar was pregnated by Abraham whereas Sarah was conceived of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, Ishmael was a bonafide (flesh and blood) son of Abraham. While Isaac was God’s. The problem facing the whole world emanated from the controversy arising from the legitimacy of Abraham’s first son. Everyone is asking why Isaac should be Abraham’s first son instead of Ishmael? The inhabitants of Egypt regard Ishmael as the first son of Abraham while the Israelites claim that Isaac is the right person. It is that same position of the first son, which everyone is struggling for today. Such is the struggle for material things.
The Arabs recognize Abraham as their father likewise the Israelites. But the prophecy to that effect had had it that he would be the father of all. Now the question is, having heard of what was written in the book of prophets, why then should problems and segregation emanate among the inhabitants of the world? Really, there is nothing in the grave of Abraham. This is because during his death, the Arabs took part of his body and the Israelites took the other half, just for the sake of claiming the first son of Abraham. The war you always hear waged between the Israelites and the Arabs emanated from this very struggling.
So beloved, have you seen the adverse effect of materialism? Presently, if an Israelites goes to the land of the Arabs for the purpose of worshipping God, he would be killed without delay. The Christians have been advised not to regard the Moslems as being worthy. The Moslems on their part have been instructed not to count the Christians worthy. This is nothing but material controversy. So, use this instance to see the effect of materialism. The Israelites do not believe in Our Lord Jesus Christ and do not count Him for anything. This is because they regard the hometown of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Bethlehem as imaginary. Having been equipped with the information that, nothing worthy could come from Nazareth, and the Israelites themselves bluntly refused to believe in Our Lord Jesus Christ. Have you also seen the work of materialism in this case?
So beloved, you would be saved and would equally conquer, if only you are careful in whatever you do and follow after God sheepishly. For it is made known to us that, any child who walks circumspectively, would kill what killed his father and any child who does not walk cirumspectively, would be killed by what killed his father. If you should take a closer look at the government of different countries, you would realize that there are series of problems emanating from religious differences between the Moslems and the Christians. And this very war is as a result of Isaac and Ishmael. This is because; the descendants of Ishmael profess to be the patriarch (the first son) while the descendants of Isaac also lay claim to that. Is this not the main reason why a civilian president is yet to be elected in Nigeria today? None of them accepts to serve God wholeheartedly yet they want to rule. But can one without the fear of God rule?
God is love, peace, mercy, goodness and all other virtues. It is these virtues that God uses to rule effectively. But the question is, how many of the government officials posses these virtues? You complicate issues when you go out to preach about O. O. Obu. The people would never believe in what you tell them. They are of the opinion that should they believe you, it is a deviation from what their ancestors held to, about Christ and His Second Coming. Their belief will even remain an illusion. They do not want any other being apart from Jesus. No other name means anything to them. They have seen the truth no doubt, but their point of confusion lies in the new name, O.O. Obu. This accounts for the reason why I do not preach any name or person rather; I preach the truth to the world. God is the truth and the sole owner of the entire world and the fullness thereof. Christ bore witness to the Holy Spirit, which is righteousness. This righteousness is love, peace, patience, humility, long-suffering, goodness, charity and all such godly virtues. Mohammed even upheld to the truth that righteousness would come. Today, the righteousness, which is embodied, in love and clad in truth, is here.

DOWNPLAY WORLDLY LOVE
If you ponder a little while on these words, you will realize, of a truth that, it is the taproot of every good thing. The same is the root cause of the suffering of the world today and in time past. It is because of this suffering that Our Lord Jesus Christ revealed the way out for His disciples, as recorded at St. Luke 14: 26. When one denounces every worldly thing to follow God, then he will truly love God and He too, will take full control of him and everything that belong to him. Gone are the days when you loved the material things of this world more than God, Henceforth, you must only love God and nothing else.
The problems of the entire world emanate from people regarding others as their relative wife, husband, sister, and brother etc. While they regard others as not being members of their families etc. or peer groups. The problem is not limited to families only. It cuts across ethnic groups, race and sex. Except you bury these notions, and completely forget about them, you cannot be the disciple of God. Eschew the love of man or material things; you must only love God, else you have erred. This is so because, if you love God, you have loved all men and indeed everything. If you love God, your love is universal. That is the reason why you have been charged to imbibe the teaching of oneness thus, loving one another. God’s love for you is equitable and that is what you must emulate. All forms of hatred and division were brought to its end when Christ said that, ‘it is finished on the cross of Calvary. Since then, everything has been made a new. This is the reign of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit prophesied; that a woman shall give birth to a male child who shall be called Emmanuel and He shall be the savior to His people. But the birthplace of He who is to rule all nations with a rod of iron was not prophesied rather, the scripture reads:

Revelations 12: 5
“And she brought forth a male child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron, and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
Note that in this case, the age, nature, and tribe of the woman is not specified. And the question is why were these parameters not specified? It was the will of God that these things should not be disclosed He did not want confusion, rancor or violence from any quarters. Now He has taken control of everything that would have constituted a stumbling block to the manifestation of His will. And today too, you have been warned to steer clear from anything that is likely to pose a stumbling block to serving God in Spirit and in Truth. Even Christ had declared that whoever does the will of His Father who is in heaven is worthy of Him. Note also that: “He that doeth good is of God but he that doeth evil hath not seen God”.

BROTHERHOOD IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER CHURCHES
All that is needed in this Kingdom is righteousness and nothing more. You must, of necessity, adhere strictly to the injunctions of Christ if you desire this Kingdom. This is not the case with other churches of the world. In the orthodox churches, while some enjoy unlimited right, others are extricated to limited privileges. For example, in the Roman Catholic Church, no black man can assume the position of a pope. It has never happen and will not happen till the end of the church. The funniest thing is that, even though you are a white man, except you are from Italy, you cannot be appointed a pope. The present pope is the first man that is not an indigent of Italy; hence he has been exposed to threat from all quarters. People, several times have threatened to shoot him to death. This accounts for the reason why he is not steady in the papal city. The Archbishop of Canterbury broke away from the Roman Catholic Church and formed what is today known as the Anglican Church. Despite the fact that some members protested and broke away from the Roman Catholic Church, they still feel and uphold that the post of the Archbishop is exclusively for the Englishman, hence the name, the Church of England. The queen is at the helm of affairs in the Church. Does all these and many more such things portray the whites as the worshippers of God?
Here in this Kingdom, such things do not exist. None of the things done by the white can be found in this Kingdom. This is the Kingdom of God. Everything here is owned by God Himself. You cannot compare this Kingdom to any other organization in the world, not even the governments. The governments of the world cannot function, independent of consultancy services. Once in a while, different governments go to another to borrow one policy or the other. But the reverse is the Kingdom of God. God does not require the input of any man when doing His things. Thank God He has come in full swing to rule over the entire world. It might interest you to note that some of the Britons also broke from the Church of England. Alleging that they want to establish, on their own a mode of worship that will make for worshipping God in Spirit and in Truth hence, the discovery of the place known as America today.
The original objective of the first inhabitants of America was to look for a befitting place to worship God. This they did at the initial stage and as a result of their dedication and devotion in God’s work, they were blessed with wealth. Having seen wealth flourishing in the country, they abandoned the work of God and opted for the manufacturing of arms and engaging in idolatry and all other vices. Today, you have seen that deviating from the path of rectitude has caused them a gradual economic downturn. You too have to learn from their mistake.

If you do not hold yourself from greed and lust for the material things of this world, you will equally fall short of the glory of this Kingdom. Let it be noted that except you are careful and devoted, worshipping and following God sheepishly, great will be your fall. Many glittering things and honor of this world will be featuring your way at random in a bid to lure you into accepting them. But once you give into their plea, believe Me, you will fall headlong. Hence, I implore you to beware of the material things of this world if you must inherit this Kingdom.
If you appreciate positions and agitate to be there for life, like most of you are fond of doing, it then means you have forgotten about the main object of your call to this Kingdom. Where then lies your hope of survival in the turbulent days ahead? Gone are the days when the flesh was ruling the world. This is the era of the elects of God and their Father. You would recall, when the mother of the two sons of Zebedee. Requested of Christ to give her two sons, the authority to sit by His sides in the Kingdom of God, Christ told her that it is not His place to grant such request, but that it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared for by His Father. St. Matthew 20: 20-23 And again you have been warned not to call any man teacher, for all men are brethren. There is only one Master and that is Christ. The effect of this has come to play in your midst today.

At the moment, there is no doubt that if Brotherhood of the Cross and Star were to be a man-made Kingdom, the so-called ordained ones would have destroyed it, even before now. They have used their capacity as ordained ones to stage a great fight against God. But unfortunately, they have not succeeded. I have not ordained you to lord over anybody rather, I have ordained you to go into the world and spread the words of God. You are not ordained because of your good works rather you were ordained so that the power to heal the sick, raise the dead and spread the gospel would be bestowed on you. You are not supposed to apply this power negatively but positively which is the purpose for which it was meant.
Contrary to the purpose, for which they were ordained, the ordained ones have turned it to a symbol of influence and terror. They feel all should bow down and worship them because they are ordained. They allege all their actions to be right, simple because they are ordained. Most of them, from the day they were ordained till date, they have not entered the hall again. They prefer to go round the remote areas, telling the brethren there to worship them that the Father has sent them to rule them. They do not even know how to preach the word of God, not to mention of them practicing it.
They command and scold people at the slightest misdeed and proclaim themselves big men. In fact, if these so-called ordained ones were to be given the go ahead, they would have really dealt hard with others. I have not ordained anybody a Bishop so that he may rob shoulders with Me or rule over anybody. Ordination is a mere formality. It is no passport for you to cause commotion in the fold. Position or no position, if you do not practice the word of God, you are perished. But as many as practice the word of God, they are free and worthy of the Kingdom.
Do not allow your head to get swollen because you have been ordained. Do not be misled by the lust for the material things of this world at the expense of the work of God else, you will not be counted worthy of this Kingdom. I have not ordained anybody to confirm the existence of a particular tribe, interest group or state, in the scheme of things in this Kingdom. This is a universal Kingdom, devoid any form of division. There is nothing like factions in this fold. No Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Rivers etc. We are all one, as far as this Kingdom is concerned. Read the golden text again:

GOLDEN TEXT: ST. LUKE 9: 61-62
“And another also aid, Lord, I will follow thee, but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. And Jesus said unto him, no man having put his hand to the plough and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God”.

THE NEED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS
Here in this Kingdom, no man is recognized and treated with concession, every honor, respect and glory go to God alone. He is the sole doer of everything and deserves every glory derivable therefrom. He is love, truth and patience and does everything accordingly. The fact that God is love, everything in this Kingdom is done in love. Unfortunately the material things of this world have misled most of you in this Kingdom. You have given out yourself to be enslaved by these material things. And so long as you love these things, you should be sure of your doom.
When you were baptized into this Kingdom, you had one wife, but today you have a chain of wives and innumerable concubines. You were a pauper when you came into this Kingdom but today, you are a millionaire. You dupe and ask people to pay things like tithe to God and when this is done, you embezzle the proceeds. You are always striving to carve out an empire for yourself. Who taught you this? Do you ever stop to think of what your tomorrow will be with the vices you commit each passing day? You feel you have attained the greatest height ever attained by any man having been exalted in government, business, church, village, age-group etc. Is it true that you have reached a commendable height? Where lies your hope of salvation if these positions have forced your shoulders high and instilled arrogance in you? This is the root cause of your problem. You can never have peace of mind when you feel that you are occupying the most exalted position.
God, the Father is not bothered by any of your unwholesome acts. He keeps calling people to Himself everyday. Do not therefore see yourself as the greatest. In the Kingdom of God, there is no one who is the greatest except he that does the will of God. He that worships God in spirit and in truth is the greatest and he is worthy to be disciple of Christ. It does not matter what you have done, see yourself as doing anything rather, forget about the things of this world and hold fast to the work of God, if you desire salvation.

Some members of this fold claim to be full time workers in the vineyard of God, but they travel home every now and then, with the excuse of seeing their parents and relations. With this, can one rightly say that they can satisfy the work they signed for? Some of them carry about the number of years you stay here as Christ’s Student, if you do not forget about your relations and material wealth, you have failed. You can see the Kingdom of God. There is no way you can combine serving God and loving the material things of this world. The man mentioned in the golden text demanded from Christ the permission to first go and bid his relations’ farewell. And the question now is, have you read in the whole Bible a portion which indicates that the man had returned to Christ? He has not, even up till today, returned to Christ. This accounts for the reason why Christ said that any man that puts his hand into the plough but looks back couldn’t do the work of God. St. Luke 9: 62
It is of no reward to be called a child of God when you have not divorced your mind from the things of this world. If you came here with the mind that you will be made a chief, you have failed. Had you come here with the motive of being appointed the Father’s deputy, you have failed. Generally, if you came here for any material things you have failed. You had better stay back in the world and acquire these things because they abound there. None of such things is found here. Only love prevails. Do you not know that it is a very serious crime to attribute the glory of God to man or Satan? I repeat it is a grievous crime to attribute the glory due for God to Satan. This is so because Satan hates God. He would not want to do anything or identify himself with anything that is linked with God. If a fundraising ceremony were organized so that the proceeds may be used in the service of God, and an invitation letter is sent to Satan, he (Satan) would not honor such an invitation. The reason is that Satan does not donate to God’s service, no matter how rich he has. He would rather want to extort money from God to enrich himself. You have no reason whatever to waste your gifts to the people of the world, rather use it in improving this Kingdom. The only gift that the people of the world are due for is spiritual. This is the work of God and nothing else.
Use your resources in serving God and not to enrich Satan with it. The people of the world are the ones to pay tribute to you and not the reverse. The people of the world are laying claims against you; that you are one thing or the other, do not mind them, and hold fast to the work of God. Even Christ did not bother Himself with the things of the world when He started His ministerial work. The twelve disciples did not bother themselves either with their property, or any other thing rather they abandoned their wealth and positions in the world, and followed Christ sheepishly, preaching the word of God. Except you also shun and denounce completely, the material things of this world, you cannot worship God, in spirit and in truth.

UPHOLD THE TRUTH
You have seen the truth, but you have bluntly refused to practice it. It is often said that when one sees the corpse of a dead man he loved, he will be forced by the sight of the corpse to shed tears. But today, you have seen the corpse of your beloved, why have you not shed tears? Your action portrays that you did not actually love the man. In other words, you do not love the truth.
From January 1950 till today, I have not left Calabar for any place physically. I keep preaching the word of God from morning till night and to the next morning untiringly. Your academic qualifications and other vices have refused you, to learn of Me. I am stationed here because like worldly attainments cannot fetch you anything compared to what the saying goes; “a rolling stone gathers no moss”. In spite of the fact that I spare no time teaching you, what have you done to show that you have really heard Me.

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is love. It has no headquarters. Love is everything and it is the Headquarters of this Kingdom. It is erroneous to mention Calabar as the World Headquarters of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. When love is at the helm of affairs of anything, there is bound to be joy. However, you should be careful not to love the world and the things therein. If you do, the love of God is not in you. Everyday you confess that you are a sinner. What brought you here if, up till now, you have not changed? Were you called into this Kingdom solely for the purpose of confession of sins, and never changed for the better? Why are you enslaved to sin rather than to imbibe and practice the word of God? If you do not imbibe the teachings of Christ and practice the same, you will lose at the end.
Girdles are mere formality. They serve no useful purpose, so long as you do not practice the word of God. You are duty bound to take after God by exhibiting the virtues of love, peace, patience, and humility, among others. The Kingdom of God as Christ put it, is likened to a treasure of which, when one sees it, he goes back to sell all he had to acquire it, what have you sold to acquire this Kingdom apart from your evil tendencies and vices? No matter the extent of wealth you accumulate if you have no love, you are empty. This accounts for the reason why you are enjoined to humble yourself like a little child. The truth here remains that, your claims of being a big man in this Kingdom is false, except you refrain from all manner of sins.

The greatest, as far as this Kingdom is concern, is he that does the word of God. Your academic qualification and other worldly attainments cannot fetch you anything compared to what one good virtue will fetch you. One brother testified some time ago that, he was living in a house with other tenants, just because he wrote O.O. Obu at his doorpost, other tenants conspired against him agitating that he should be sent away from the house. The landlord having singled him out as one of the best tenants rejected the idea, claiming that the man has been very useful to him. He narrated his good but rare qualities to other tenants and stood his grounds that the brother should continue to live there. What do you think prompted the landlord to say those things? It is because the brother practiced the word of God, without which he would have been asked to quit. This explains the reason why I always tell you to live an exemplary life.
You err when you say that you are hated because of Brotherhood. You are the cause of your being hated. You want to kill two birds with one stone. That is to say that you condone evil in one hand and profess to be a Brotherhood member, on the other hand. This does not avail you anything. Start now to exhibit good fruit by hating and denouncing the material things of this world and hold fast to God, His teachings and praises, and you will witness a great change in your life.

It is said that a stroke of the cane is sufficient to the wise. May God bless His Holy Words Amen.

Thank You Good Father

EVERLASTING GOSPEL DELIVERED BY THE HOLY FATHER,
THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER AND THE SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE
LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
(WHQ) BCS 34 AMBO ST CALABAR NIGERIA

THE FINAL NOTICE

Do not leave sin too late …repent

PERPARATORY WORDS
This Everlasting Gospel delivered by the Sole spiritual Head, KING of Kings and LORD of Lords of the Universe, LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU, is remarkable for its timely warning and intense pronouncements.
Although painstaking care has been taken to translate the sentences and expressions from their original flawless vernacular into the English Language, that attempt to mediate these everlasting Word of God can only be approximate. The occasionally repetitive rhetorics of this homily are to emphasise the depth, power and seriousness of the AUTHOR and THE WORD.
Readers who make the effort to absorb the contents, not intellectually but spiritually, cannot fail to discern that illumination which is essentially the birthright of the Children of God as it is only they who “hear the word of God’ (John 8:47)
It is advisable not to treat this message with contempt because it has not been accompanied by a whirlwind advertorial with raging reviews; trumpeting headlines nor high profiled celebrity campaign. Indeed, most relevant messages remain so by their straightforwardness and sheer simplicity. This is it!
THE CHRIST UNIVERSAL SPIRITUAL COUNCIL OF CHURCHES Of the BROTHERHOOD 0F THE CROSS & STAR

Now takes the supreme privilege and pleasure of presenting to all and sundry the WORD of the Almighty God as expressed in THE FINAL NOTICE.

PREAMBLE: 1. Hear the word of God …
(Response: Thank you Father!)
2. You may fall down on your faces… indeed, fall down on your faces in worship of the Almighty God…
3. Our God is no respecter of persons …

1st Lesson
“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.” 1 Timothy 4: 1-2(KJV)

2nd Lesson
“Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, nut on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house; Let you light so shine before men, that they may see your good work, and glorify your Father which is in heaven”. Matthew 5:15-16(KJV)

Golden Text
“And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and
brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” Revelation: 20:8-1O(KJV)

FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS…
This message is brought up for every variety of persons and groups within the entire Universe and these include:
* those who lack faith … who do not stand firm;
* those who glory in being obstinate;
* those who claim to be in possession of personal and family shrines and fetishes and those who claim affiliation with magic, enchanters and other forms of divination and demigods …

To these people I strongly urge them to stand firm because this gospel is particularly meant for them. Furthermore, the gospel is equally directed to:
* all those who feel scornful, highly positioned and therefore claim to lead
* all those who continuously harass the household and the family of God.
* all those who lay claim to various aspects of power, prowess and feats of strength
* those who believe they are capable of performing a variety of wonders even to the extent of boasting more hard-heartedness than the pig-headed Pharaoh
* himself if the same era were to be replicated or re-enacted today…
To all these assortments of persons, I further urge that they stand firm and gird their loins because something ominous has piled up and is looming closer and closer than ever before.

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE … A glimpse of the danger…
Therefore, arising from this impending doom, I counsel that you go and spread this message to all and advise those who seek life to climb down in absolute humility and total self-abnegation; in obedience to, and ready compliance with, the instructions of the Almighty God.
This instruction is compelling because the imminent war is not physical but a spiritual one which peculiarly defies and maintains a total difference from all conventional weapons like clubs and cudgels: slings / bows /arrows; guns / tanks and inter-continental ballistic missiles. It is the War of the Lord’s Day already foretold by a religious anthem, which eloquently reveals that:

“It is the fullness of time and the Father has ordered:

• death to commence its work
• swords to commence their work
• plagues to commence their work
• famine to commence its work
• and ALL other weapons of death to commence their work”
Have you not witnessed these events lately …?

ACKNOWLEDGE GODS SUPPEMACY THROUGH HEEDING DIVINE INSTRUCTIONS
Verily, whoever fails to acknowledge the supremacy of God deserves pity. He does not appreciate what is steadily coming on which, to put is succinctly, is complete extinction. Advise all and sundry; advise yourselves with equal vehemence and sincerity that all should turn towards the path of rectitude. Furthermore, while you are on this mission, avoid the hypocrisy of double standards, lies, deceits, dissimulation and contentions because the times are not to be toyed with although God intends that all be saved.
Indeed, He comes with many destructive weapons, which I cannot recount, to you. In my usual way, when I am about to end any sermon, 1 will conclude by requesting those who have ears to hear … which is exactly my intention so that none will claim ignorance of this message.

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP…
If you embark on a war with some 10,000 men against an opponent confirmed to be ready with an overwhelming 20,000 similarly equipped warriors, is it not advisable that you hasten towards a truce and an eventual peace treaty to avert the alternative of your being completely wiped out? BE WARNED to desist from harbouring the wrong notion that God is incapable of any measured response when challenged! I assure you that God can respond in any way. If only people knew what has already transpired and what is about to happen, none would warn anybody against the practice of ANY evil no matter how little … even when such an evil appears as ordinary as offering a rebuke; extending an insult and or expressing anger. The weapons in question are not physical armaments, but spiritual and unseen; and nothing in the world can alter their set goals and objectives when unleashed.
Emphatically, be assured that God’s weapons defy all combined super-power (Britain, United States and Russia) containment.

GOD’S WEAPON IS THAT SWORD; be not deceived … repent…
Therefore, let us hear and heed this admonition, hence 1 am using today, the first day of the week to make this clarion call to all those who take God’s much vaunted vengeance as a distant joke and cynically wonder whether or where God has got missiles, warships and war planes. Such a misconception merely raises the question as to whether these physical armaments are, in fact, anything to go by. All the physical weapons when compared with the spiritual ones are mere toys fit for the scrap – heap. Know ye therefore that the real weapon is:
* the SWORD that proceeds from His mouth
* that SWORD that proceeds from the mouth of God…
that sword is what He uses to discipline, within a second, all those who act in defiance of His ordinance. The whole world put together has no weapon and therefore no defence at all. Our only defence is to completely submit to God and depart from evil.
Do not wait to be told to abstain from sin. Refraining from all manner of sinfulness is the only way to save you from the impending doom.
A GLIMPSE OF GOD’S OTHER WEAPONS …
Some examples of these weapons of war available here include the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, otherwise referred to as AIDS; Diabetes; Kwashiorkor; Cancer; Asthma etc. the totality of which are not only numerous but defy any therapy and can, without any warning, render one useless within a moment. Therefore, today’s admonition is to enable you refrain from murder, lies, stealing, fornication, adultery, deceits and all other acts of sinfulness which evil people wrongfully associate with heroism or power. In their thinking, to forego these tendencies denies them of a preconceived aggressive valour. Please be NO MORE a hero in committing evil.
Be assured that all displays of power and negative greatness have received the death knell and had been finished with.

RESIST NOBODY IF THREATENED
Emphatically the weapons available here are not physical ones. BE WARNED! Yes, Brotherhood, it is claimed, warns that to avoid perdition, all manner of evil like murder, stealing; armed robbery, adultery, fornication stubbornness etc should stop.
It further urges that we live in peace, anger not; express love and humility in order to escape this on-coming spiritual war. It advises that you should NOT RESIST if anyone threatens you so as NOT to divest yourself of this everlasting life to which we are all entitled … otherwise, you will find yourself highly disadvantaged.
Should you insist on following the path of vengeance I will merely waive you a sorrowfully resigned goodbye. Since you can neither control nor combat this on-coming onslaught, the only way out is to abstain from all evil and adhere sheepishly to the instructions of the Almighty God.

THE DANGER IS REAL
Brethren, I say these things with absolute zeal and conviction and I FURTHER assure you that the conviction, enthusiasm and zest with which I say all you are hearing today far exceed those of the distant past. If you were to know what is on going, you would pity all murderers, armed robbers and the obstinate ones. In reality, none can afford to be obstinate. Let our FIRST LESSON be re-examined.
“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.” 1 Timothy 4: 1-2(KJV
THE UPHEAVALS MORE DEVASTATING THAN PROPHESIED
Even the prophecies of Our Lord Jesus Christ disclosed to the disciples in the Scripture regarding the End-of-Time upheavals, do not constitute one-tenth of what is about to happen. You will see; for instance, that a whole country, like Nigeria or indeed, an entire continent like the Americas disappear completely from the earth? Can you imagine the whole landmass of Africa and its contents ceasing to exist in just one day? These days, European nationals of the world powers, with all their knowledge, technological advancement in arms etc. are lying low with dreaded silence. Do you still find nationals of these countries brag and arrogate airs of superiority to themselves? These observations only confirm that evidence has convincingly emerged of something which nobody ever imagined or expected would happen. Therefore, if things should be like this with the so-called men and nations of eminence, what do you think of yourselves who, by the usual yardsticks, are no better? Is it not safe for all to remain quiet and live in humility allowing the Almighty God to freely shower his grace, mercies and salvation on us…? BE WARNED! Be equally assured that against this spiritual warfare:
* death can not compete with it:
* ailments/plagues have no power over it;
* wants cannot measure up to it;
* swords/machetes and guns and all those physical weapons with which we pride ourselves and hope upon are nothing to go by.

FEAR NO MAN-MADE THREAT/POWER
It is for this reason that we in this fold are unperturbed and I advise that you NEITHER deter NOR fear any of those who threaten you with armed robbery; assassinations; deceits and vexations of all kinds. Dare these people and give them ample opportunity to exhibit their nuisances so that they can come face to face with that disarming and disciplinary FORCE/POWER which was revealed to Nebucchadnezzar (as interpreted by Prophet Daniel) and summarised as follows: –
‘…that before the end of time, various forces/powers will flourish and operate in sequence ……… but at the of it all, ONE particular force/power will emerge to dominate, subdue and swallow EVERY other power/force before it. … … ‘
Now, consider or think over those words. If all of you here were to have the knowledge of hearing and heeding these admonitions, men of anger including armed robbers etc, would crawl on their knees in repentance and would be so deterred from crime to the extent that monies piled up in unguarded and unsecured drums would remain untouched as they would never be stolen by thieves or armed robbers. Were all assassins, troublemakers, men of anger, thieves etc. to know what this End-of Time portends, none would question this message except to heed the charge urging us:
‘In the Name of Jehovah God and His Christ to preach the word of God in and out of season reprove and admonish with patience, long suffering, compassion and tolerance in every way possible.’
because of the great disaster awaiting mankind. Its form and nature can never be imagined or described. The vernacular adage says:
“neither its tail nor head can be ascertained … “
Brethren, something is both heating up and fusing close to explosion! The song just raised translates this message as:
“Let the sinner think of himself to avert perdition even in the face of all the agony and suffering (of Christ) on the cross.
and its relevance is not in doubt.

TESTIMONY OF THAT POWER … In the offensive
Recall that when recently, the Nigerian Government sent in armed troops to put down disturbances between two warring communities within its Niger Delta region, series of ironies emerged. Firstly, the armed troops sent to disarm and keep the rioters at bay found themselves, to their utter surprise, inexplicably disarmed by the two warring factions on both sides! Secondly, members of the Brotherhood of the Cross & Star, operating within the vicinity of both communities and without any physical weapon whatsoever, became the ones who kept the peace and provided the welfare for all sides. Thirdly, although unarmed, both warring groups entreated members to keep away from, and not to walk in their white garments, near or around some designated areas. It was reported that these outing activities deadened or neutralised the talisman or fetishes used to prosecute the communal war! Have you heard that? Do you know, brethren, that you are all antidotes or tranquillisers and neutralisers to appease any force whether physical or spiritual? Most of you within this kingdom are not even aware of the implication of the power available here and with which you are fortified … how much more the implication of this kingdom! Know fully well that once dressed in this white garment after baptism, you are robed in Christ and fittingly identified as a ‘fearsome being’!
But, quite frankly, do you know this? that you are all fearsome beings? Does anyone know this much?

TESTIMONY OF THAT POWER … On the Preventive
Let me refer you to the testimony about a male flirt who sought to enchant a young sister of this fold as his sex partner and so consulted a confessed magician (now a member) to prepare the charms that will seduce the girl for his purpose. After several attempts to lure the young lady into a sexual relationship, the magician confessed all his devilish efforts to the lady and asked her what sort of protection she had that so continuously defied all his magical charms directed to affect her. The poor girl did not even know what answer to give, as she did not know whether she was invested with any power or not…! WHO amongst you all here knows whether he or she is spiritually empowered or protected? Who, in fact, knows himself or herself? Ironically, most of you are still afraid of one thing or the other.
But the day year eyes (including those of evil doers, will open, none will steal nor commit any act of sin. Note that only one day the entire world will be silenced into submission and acceptance and peace will reign. To make this emphatically clear, I am not saying that this will happen in two days; I say it will happen in just ONE DAY – the very day the implication of this Kingdom of the Brotherhood of the Cross & Star is made known to you. Know also that only one angel can devastate the entire world in a second.
Do you know this…?

you who claim that you are not in subjection to any power/force

you who claim that you are indifferent to what any man says

you who claim that even The Almighty God descending from above cannot deter you from your pet intention or chosen course of action?
Do you know what God is? Some of you even pretend to be God.
Does that Name not frighten you? Well, I stand in awe and fear of that name! The song rendered which translates as:
“Olumba has overcome the war … The work of the flesh has ended”.
should be fully noted. Let our 2nd Lesson be read again:
“Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, nut on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house; Let you light so shine before men, that they may see your good work, and glorify your Father which is in heaven”. Matthew 5:15-16(KJV)

BROTHERHOOD IS UNIVERSAL
Brotherhood of the Cross & Star has manifested itself in its true and powerful perspective to the good of every person and all accepts it as the last hope of mankind and of the entire world. Nevertheless certain persons/groups/communities do rise to attack it in some ways as was the case recently where a community summoned one of my missionaries of one our healing homes to a Kangaroo Court and ordered him to disclose the source of healing power so freely displayed and prevalent in the Brotherhood of the Cross & Star. If he failed, they reportedly insisted, the establishment should be closed down and be taken elsewhere.
Anyone who happens to come from that community should be in fervent player. If one had never heard of Brotherhood of the Cross & Star, it is herein made clear that the action from that community tantamount to unbridled effrontery: but none will challenge those who engage in such unworthy enterprise. They will be properly encouraged BECAUSE that happens to be one of the dramatic ways with which the Almighty God encircles those he wishes to use for His services.
LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE …as repercussions are disastrous…
The Almighty God does not engage in warring ventures but wants us to live in peace. This notwithstanding, certain baits exist which lead many fools to wade into where angels fear to thread only for the former to get totally quagmired. Note that if you do not tempt God, nothing uncomfortable happens to you. Some people exist who have negative traits, which they wisely recognise and thoughtfully suppress or keep in check. On the other hand, there are also some others who, though aware of their shortcomings, thoughtlessly allow themselves to be carried away by a compelling longing to be heroic or to boost their ego only to get entrapped by the disciplinary force prevailing here. So also are some other people whose time has been duly appointed by providence to confront the Brotherhood. . And in so doing, get caught up in the exercise.
These latter categories of persons are reminiscent of a man who contemplates suicide and goes to play with the tail of a serpent and the local pidgin English puts it as:
‘trouble dey sleep, nyanga go wake am’
which translates classically as:
“trouble serenely lies asleep only for empty and curious pride to incite it to furry”
The insult of detaining, coupled with the idle and vain cross-examination of that Brother (as to the powers inherent in this Kingdom: so brazenly displayed by that community referred to above will attract its proper repercussion in due course; and all who are wondering what will happen as a result of that brinkmanship will watch the full drama as it unfolds for them to see or hear… PLEASE BE WARNED that most communities did pass through that ordeal! Know ye all that Brotherhood of the Cross & Star is irresistible and unassailable. It comes up ANYWHERE and at ANYTLME and manifests itself at will and has no pleading whatsoever with any person or group. These admonitions as herein NOTIFIED are not only for those who resist it but includes all those who engage in ungodly acts.

BE STEADFAST
THERFORE, brethren, I further repeat my counselling that we all labour to promote love because the world has seen this illuminating light radiating from, and the salvation available in the Brotherhood whose virtues are no longer hidden. Allow nothing to startle or frighten you. Even if the entire world including armed assailants were to gang up against you with various armaments, do not fear because they are all bound for destruction in the great fire. Neither invite nor deter them but continue steadfastly to enable the result of your good works to unfold; for it is through your excellent accomplishments that the Almighty God attracts those destined for salvation to come in. Since you do not catch a thief in your vineyard by noisy alarm, so also you cannot extend this clarion call by noise and alarm but by silently focussing your radiance for all to behold and gain entrance into the household of the Almighty God.

END OF SIN
Very soon, you will not find ONE single armed robber in Nigeria even in Africa. Neither even magicians nor assassins etc will operate to due course. Even now, those things merely exists in your various imaginations based on the fears you harbour over people’s ability to harm you with ordinary moulded scarecrows, disguises etc. When you allow your mind to be disturbed, you falter and are dead even before you realise it.
When you have the accurate knowledge of the truth over these dramatised and illusory fetishes, divination, etc.; you will move with confidence without any bother. All those fears based on make-believe fetishes; divination, demigods, magic etc. are mere illusions. They are all groundless and do not exist. Be it known that this is:

the era of the Almighty God

the era of peace

the era of love

the era of oneness
An era which is devoid of anger and rancour. Therefore I plead that we all live in love and peace. If you wish to do good, go ahead; otherwise stay quiet, humble, meek and, with sustained merciful disposition. WATCH with your eyes and await what is unfailingly looming closer and closer. God does not wish that we perish; His enduring patience operates to give us sufficient NOTICE for repentance despite our vain utterances. This should not be mistaken for weakness or inability to control the situation.
He is merely ensuring that His promises are kept despite our continuance in evil doings. Inevitably, the wisdom of our ancient sages which warns that:
“The stubborn chicken heeds instructions in the pot of soup (that is after it has been slaughtered)”
will operate against all infidels and rebels. When warnings and admonitions have been persistently drummed into your ears persuading you to desist from sinful acts of murder; stealing; lies; adultery, fornication etc. etc, and you reject all these, it takes only one day for the repercussions to affect the unrepentant ones adversely. God is no respecter of persons and we all know that He only has to blaze forth his frown for us to fall by the sword.
PREACHING IS MANDATORY … No matter the circumstances

If you: lack money

Lack strength

have no house

lack good health or are ill and, whatever your problems may be,
try to entreat and admonish people with pleadings, by going from house to house and urging them to abandon sinfulness anger, malice, counting sins for others and refrain from challenging the will of God but to maintain a lowly, humble and meek posture. BE WARNED! as there is neither repentance nor salvation in the grave. All things have been accomplished, truly fulfilled and the era of the Almighty God properly ushered in and effectively established.
The song that translates as:
“All things have come to manifestation/fulfilment; I am the Alpha and the Omega. Halleluyah, Amen”
remains significant and valid today.

THE FINAL NOTICE.. No other power exists
After such a long rope, this is the FINAL NOTICE I am giving to the entire world Do not misconstrue its finality to mean that Brotherhood of the cross & Star is cowardly or fearful of any situation; powerless: incapable of any imagined feat that the brain of man can conceive … Indeed, what can the Kingdom not achieve … ?
Nothing is beyond its reach. It is EVERYTHING. It is the beginning and the end.
All the heavenly hosts and the earth know it including the waters beneath. All things created and uncreated submit to it … including the angels. Therefore, the emphatic question remains to be:
‘WHO are you to flout instructions and neither hears nor heeds the Word of God? ? ? !!!
Have you ever heard of its fame? Even as far back as the time of Lot when his wife was asked to proceed without a pin out of Sodom and not to look back…
But for merely remembering her treasured trinket box and looking back in disobedience she has remained, till today, a pillar of salt. This syndrome will affect a number of people so as to firmly establish the word of God; as I see no reason, despite warnings, for continued disobedience to the ordinances of God. Even Europeans have relaxed their tendencies towards sin and other insulting and contesting acts of pretending to be God with or within any of the elements. Know that no other power exists either on land, air, water, fire etc. What you witness here is nothing but the real power of The Almighty God who Himself has made His dramatic advent. Meanwhile let me say this to you all: tell all and sundry including mothers and fathers; brothers and sisters; sons and daughters; parapsychologists and fetish priests; contenders or and war mongers that all those beggarly elements hitherto regarded as symbolising power, (whether in physical weaponry or magic etc) have been confined to oblivion and are no longer in existence. They should come forward and obtain peace.
Another song which translates as:
‘No other power takes dominion except God’s rulership and glory which is everlasting’
is valid please.

THAT QUESTION…. THAT ANSWER…
Next, I say this to clarify the points raised by that incident (already referred to above) where that member of this fold was subjected to detention and cross examination over the source of power inherent in this kingdom. Neither he nor any of the members present at that gathering know or knew exactly what to say in answer to that vain and harassing cross-examination. In answer to that question, let me tell you this … listen and you will see it now… That all surmounting power:

which defies water

which is an awesome thing even feared by the waters….

which will set these mighty oceans, seas, rivers, lakes and rivulets ablaze…
and not a single hay, whether in the heavens above nor within the earth beneath will be left untouched EXCEPT He, that Almighty power that pervades and prevails and which will remain unfazed, unshaken and immovable … This power as herewith confided is neither from men …

nor from any demigod

not from magic

not through money

not from spirit

nor the angels nor any other
thing to be conceived of but from:
WHAT YOU SEE HERE AND WHAT YOU ARE HEARING NOW.
Therefore, we MUST have to fear Him … and, if you were a stubborn child, please turn a new leaf…

CHRIST’S ANSWERING METHODS
Our Lord Jesus the Christ did forewarn that:
“all that was done to me will be extended to you if they believed me, they will believe you also; if they disbelieved me, they will disbelieve you also. I tell you this so that none would have any excuse to absolve himself”
Again, when Jesus the Christ used questions to answer questions: when the Jews prompted by idle curiosity confronted Christ with a question as to the source of his power; whether from man; our Lord’s rejoinder was similarly questioning as to demand the source of John’s baptism; whereby both the admission of the baptism being from God was as fatal as its denial. In their limitation, they chose and claimed ignorance to hide the fact that if John’s baptism were to be advertised as sourced from God, the issue of their non-belief in John’s mission would be held against them. If, in the alternative, it was claimed to be of man, the crowd would, in their anger over John’s downgrading as a prophet of God, stone the questioners to death.
This is the way to treat all those who, knowing you are of the Brotherhood fold, confront you members with petty and idle questions about the Kingdom. Do not go beyond their self imposed limits for that would be insulting to the Almighty God of Hosts … and NO MAN can dare the insult to God’s condescension of graciously opening the way of salvation for all arising from the mediating role of His only begotten son based on the shedding of that precious and innocent blood.
Outside that, who could have dared any insult on the Divine … who is in fact the God of Hosts…?

THE POWER SOURCE…
Without much ado pay attention to where this power comes from as we take a recast of our Golden Text:
“And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” Revelation: 20:8-1O(KJV)
Have you heard that…?
That is the answer to the source of power; and if one should dare any of those idle questions, you may see fire consuming one but the Father does not intend any of these extreme happenings because His mercies and abiding covenant are far greater than we can ever imagine and do override the ridicule and mockery with which we regard Him.
OUR JOY: The Finale
Our greatest joy lies in the fact that no matter the source and fury of the raging flames from the heavens above, His children can neither be touched nor torched! Should the source of this disaster erupt from the earth beneath, His children will remain unaffected! No power, whether sourced through man, trees / forest; fire /water / air/land exists to shake His children! Indeed, in the face of any danger or risk to life, His children are fortified and protected from all of them.

The song which translates as:
“This Almighty God should be strongly held unto …
This Wonderful God should be tenaciously held unto.
remains relevant.

I have finished. At the end of every admonition, our Lord the Christ would always ask those with ears to hear … Don’t you have ears? Therefore, let whoever have ears, hear and may God bless his Holy words. Amen!!!

THE FIRST SON OF GOD

FIRST LESSON: HEBREWS 1: 6

And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

SECOND LESSON: HEBREWS 2: 8
Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

GOLDEN TEXT: HEBREWS 7: 25
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Brethren, that is the story about Our Lord Jesus Christ. His story has got no beginning and no end. It is stated that when He is brought back, all angels of God will come and worship Him. You will note that if this covenant was established from the beginning lucifer would have bowed down too and worshipped Him. It was written that all must bow down to Him. If all the angels of God are commanded to bow down to Him, what is man to resist Him? You must note very well that the first Son and the Father are One. Do not make any mistake, believe that we all are the sons of God, but Our Lord Jesus Christ is the first Son of God. Have you ever heard that a father possesses more than one first son? If even your children are as many as the sands at the seashore, there must be a first son.

That is exactly our position with Our Lord Jesus Christ, the first Son of God. Among all the creatures of God, Christ is the first Son and He is also the last. He is the first, that is why He says that the Father and He are one. The Son cannot do without the Father and the Father cannot do without the Son. He says, “None knows the Son but the Father, except the Son reveals Him to whosoever He will”, “No one can come to me except my Father calls him”. No one can also go to the Father except through Christ. Everything Our Lord Jesus Christ says reflects the Father and the Father on the other hand mentions His Son at all times, “This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, hear ye Him”. A spiritual song goes thus, “The heavens declare the glory of God and obey Him, but the earth reject Him”.

When it is said that a single angel can destroy the world, you all jeer but I had earlier told you that the winds are angels, the sand, water, animal, sun, moon and the Star inclusive, even the thunder and lighting are God’s messengers. This is why as soon as Christ lifted up His hands in command everything subjects to Him. Whenever you call on His name everything is subdued in obedience to what was written.

MAN’S STUBBORNNESS DESPITE GOD’S LOVE

Who are you man, to resist His rule and to refused paying Him obeisance? This is the only problem I have with you. “To, which of the angels has He ever said, I have begotten you”? But God has begotten Our Lord Jesus Christ as it is stated, “When He bringeth in the first begotten into the world, He saith, and let all the angels of God worship Him”. God did not say He bringeth in the angels; He states categorically that when He bringeth in the first begotten. He did not say when He sends angel Gabriel. We are expressly told that when the Son of God shall come, all the angels will worship Him. Therefore, brethren, ask yourself a simple question “What is our position”? This should prove to you that Our Lord Jesus Christ is the King of kings.

Be not mistaken that when He comes, He will go from house to house preaching and offering prayers to the sick. Do not conjecture that when He comes He will go about healing diverse infirmities. I know you will say that He is a friend of sinners and so forth but do not forget that He made Himself a sacrifice once and for all; and there is no sin that has power over Him. His coming now is mainly to save those who have been patiently waiting for Him. He has come to rule every house with mercy, patience and love. This is why occultists declare that there is no more power anywhere, as Christ has come to rule with His Father. All angels like fire, water and all other elements, take orders from Him only; should you try you will surely fail because these angels are under the rule of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Even if you command death to destroy one’s life it will not obey you, since its power is under the rule of Christ. It is significant to note that when it is said that all angels will bow down to Him it also means that they will serve Him. Do not misconstrue that when He comes down on earth, you will be opportuned to have Him for a conversation of any kind, because He does not welcome any familiarity.

THE GREAT MONARCH

He is now on the throne while His angels exercise duties and act according to instructions. This system can be likened to the system of rule during the colonial days whereby the Queen sat on the throne while the deputies worked in the various colonies; to be more precise, here is a system the sovereign rules over everywhere through agents. It is sacrilege to ask Christ to offer you prayers or to make an attempt of shaking hands with Him; even to ask Him any question. It is quite true that when a person is not yet crowned, he mixes freely with any society, thereby any person could rub shoulders or converse with him. Once his position is changed and uplifted, everything about him changes such that he would be cut off from a common contact and unnecessary familiarity. If the Emirs of the Northern States are so reverenced, being mere human beings as they are, of what measure do you think that of Christ should be, being that He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. The Queen of England and her princes are honoured while they are placed in this esteemed position yet they are nothing more than common human beings, before the angels of God. By all means Our Lord Jesus Christ is to be honoured far more than the earthly kings, because He is a King according to the Promise. This is why a higher position and honour in any society is given to whoever passes through Christ to the Father. He said, “I am the way, the truth and the life, nobody cometh unto the Father but by me”.

Now that you profess that you do not know Him, how would you be saved? If you vow that you will never bow down for Him; who is He that will secure your salvation? If you do not reverence and honour Him through whom will you enter into the Kingdom of heaven? As a sovereign, Christ will not execute any duty except through His angels who are spread everywhere to carry out His order. You could be arrested, rebuked or hanged, then how will you escape?

Christ’s Government is the best so far because no angels can act except He receives instructions from Him. It is unlike the chaos existing amidst the worldly governments and her servants. This is a note of warning to anybody who doubted Him to doubt no more. Because all authorities in heaven and on earth have been given to Him before the foundations of the earth were laid. This is a well known fact to all angels even lucifer, the ocean, the forest, the sunshine. You are of the opinion that you will invoke angel Gabriel or project in order to see God but the question is, “where will you find them? The false prophets hold the same opinion, but I ask to know, which God they mean to see through astral projection? There is none permitted to contact God except Christ. If you like project into the last sphere, you will not meet with Our Lord Jesus Christ. If you go into the depth of the sea, He is permanently there. There is no place Christ is not available. Brethren, there is no alternative than to accept Christ as your Lord and Master. If you refuse Him, He will not ill treat you but remember that you will never escape the execution of His angels.

THE DECREES OF CHRIST

Christ has got His own edict concerning the division of labour in His Government, just as you have got assignment for the warders, the soldiers, and other law enforcement agents. When you are told that the kingdom of this world has become the Kingdom of God and His Christ, do not take it for a joke. His reign cannot be compared with the earthly dynasty. The work in His Kingdom continuously goes according to His divine purpose; no angel can ask Him any question. This is why it is said that it is unreasonable to get up and ask God, “Give me this or give me that,” Jesus do this or do that for me.” That is not the case. The condition is that you must pass through the correct channel, which is Our Lord Jesus Christ; that is why in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star we ask God foreverything through the name and blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Note that there is no use of forceful methods. At the fullness of time, His supremacy will be revealed to all. Because there is nothing whatsoever that is not under His reign. If you commit sin, there is no other person to plead on your behalf other than Christ. He is the Prime Minister of God. There is none who has attended such holiness to be an advocate for you than Him.

This is why He said that whatever He opens, none can close and whatever He closes, none can open. There is no other way for you to obtain a relief from your suffering, there is no other defender and there is no advocate other than Our Lord Jesus Christ. You have been warned never to impute sins on people because a sin is like a gutter, which when you have fallen into, the stain is difficult to remove from your clothings. This is why Paul lamented, “O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this sin?” Only Christ can save. Despite all your endeavours and sufferings if you do not accept Christ as your personal saviour, your efforts are in vain. You may credit yourself that you have given alms to the needy, that you have fed the hungry and have raised the dead; know that none of these deeds of kindness can save you except you accept Our Lord Jesus Christ as everything for you. If you have ever been stubborn to Him or have refused to listen to Him be prayerful because as long as it was said that all the angels will bow to Him, you are so insignificant for Him to be mindful of your refusal to accept Him as the King of kings.

CHASING SHADOWS INSTEAD OF SUBSTANCE

Is it not wonderful that you waste much time to acquire money but cannot spent even one minute for Christ? Christ is here, He was before the foundations of the world were laid; have you any doubt? If you disbelieve this truth, that is your problem.

Until this world passes away, He will never come to your doorpost to announce that He is Christ; nor would any person descend from above to tell you, “I am the Christ.”

Where do you think He is? He is on earth right now; He is in the waters, and He is everywhere and that is why every thing is subject to Him. All that you have got to do is to go and proclaim to the world that the former covenant is passed away and that the new covenant is now reigning as it was stated, “After those days, saith the Lord, and they shall not teach every man his brother, saying, know the Lord; for all shall know me from the least to the greatest.” Do you doubt this statement? So it was said that as the lightening flashes from the East to the West, so shall the coming of the Lord be. The Scriptures asked, “Where shall this be”? It was replied that where the carcass is there will the vultures abound. Did He not assure you that He was going to prepare a place for you, so that where He is there you shall be also? Now He has come back on earth and He has collected all His children and has united them to Himself. If someone tells you that you should go and see Christ outside, do not go, for the scriptures warned, “They will say lo He is here, lo He is there, do not listen to them.”

Do you not know that Christ is in you? He is within and without, He is everywhere. Mark you, Christ is no politician to go campaigning or the sort of a Chief to struggle for His recognition; He is the King of kings whom the universe must acknowledge. He does not plead for your recognition. It is your duty and mine to seek and accept Him as the only source of our salvation because life, truth, peace and all other virtues are embodied in Him; the Father is in Him and He is in the Father also. His judgement is just and righteous; void of human dictates, yet He is a merciful God for though He knows that you spend time in going to farm to collect food but have spent no time for Him, He imputes no sin on you.

FIRST LESSON: HEBREWS 1: 6

“And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.”

You may wonder what manner of man is this that all the angels must bow unto, but John in his vision saw an angel who was to bow to him, and he forbade the angel being that both of them were servants. Now, you have seen He whom all angels bow to; do you not believe that if He were an angel or man all angels would not have bowed to Him? For example, has any angel ever bowed down to a human being or a fellow angel? This is a prove that whatever is from heaven is very great on earth. His glory is being revealed very gradually and quietly, as He did not come to make noise. Note that nobody sent Him down to the earth plane, He seeks no service from anyone but as it was written, “All must serve Him.” Even if it is one angel alone it can represent the universe.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the symbol that Enoch saw ascending into heaven in the company of the host of angels. Christ’s supremacy cannot be compared with any other.

HIS INDISPUTABLE SUPREMACY

While He stood trial before king Herod, He stated that if He wanted to fight, He could have asked the Father to send down legion of angels to defend Him. He is a King of no mean order. It was written that His last enemy to be destroyed is death. You are witnesses that every being is afraid of death, yet the scriptures tell us that Christ shall destroy it.

Our Lord Jesus Christ has come down to judge both angels and human beings though He exercises long patience. He has come to save the world as well as you and I. If He had not come in a human form, died on the cross and ascended into heaven, there could have been no salvation for mankind. It is unthinkable to say that until Christ comes back; where did He go, and where had He been? He stated, “My Father works and I work.” You may say that afterall Mary delivered Him; is that the time He came into the world? If truly, He was delivered, then who was in heaven? Christ was the one. This is why He said, “If I tell you things earthly and you do not understand, how would you believe me if I tell you heavenly things?” He also said, “The wind bloweth where it listeth and no one knows from whence it cometh nor where it goeth, so is everyone born of the spirit”. Our Lord Jesus Christ said that no one could come from heaven except the heavenly. While you are imagining that He is here, or that He is in heaven, what do you understand by these expressions that are confusing?

What is meant by heaven is likened to the twinkling of one’s eyes by, which one sees no light just for that time but afterwards light is seen again. The word “heaven” is a spiritual language. When Our Lord Jesus Christ declared that there were some standing there who would never taste of death until this glory of God is revealed, many people took it for a joke. After the transfiguration of Christ on the mountain, Christ communed with Moses and Elijah after, which a voice from heaven declared Him as the beloved Son in whom He was well pleased and asked all to hear Him. What was beheld at that time was a great light seen everywhere. Peter said to Christ, after the disappearance of those elects, “Master let us build three tents, one for Moses, one for Elijah and one for the Lord”.

Such was the thought of man though what was seen was the manifestation of God’s glory. You have been seeing the glory of God manifested. If you doubt, tell me if it is so simple a thing for your dead father to come to you in a dream and discuss possible solutions to your problems or is it a simple thing that your departmental head comes to give you words of comfort when you are in trouble?

HE IS OUR SHIELD IN ADVERSITIES

It has been a common practice that when you are in trouble you call on your dead father or mother to solve it but in vain. Now is for you to call on Our Lord Jesus Christ at any time, anywhere and at any circumstance because He is ready to come to your aid. Those of you calling Him have seen and can testify that nothing has stood against your way? Whatever the magnitude of the assailant, once you make mention of the name of Christ, every power is quelled. Therefore, brethren, since Our Lord Jesus Christ lives, He is everywhere and He is most powerful, it is proper for us to accept, love, worship and honour Him. He comes as a thief in the night as He said before. If a man hears that there is a thief in his farm and he goes with a noisy gang, will he succeed in arresting the thief? This is why He comes like a thief when nobody will ever expect Him because everyone goes about their ways doing their normal duties. This attitude continues until all things are accomplished. Hold fast whatever you grasp, do not mind what people may say, do not mind who criticises or who praises.

If Christ reveals the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit to you, keep it to yourself. Do not allow flesh to overcome you because immediately you are away from Him, doom befalls you. There is a great quest for Our Lord Jesus Christ in the western and African countries; some are searching with doubt and annoyance while others do this steadfastly; but all to no avail. Yet Our Lord Jesus Christ is here carrying out His work. You ought to recognise Him.

SECOND LESSON: HEBREWS 2: 8

“Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.”

Have you all understood that? His promise was to come and transform us from the sinful nature to righteousness. His assignment was not to come and talk unceasingly. Our Lord Jesus Christ is power itself. This time is not the same with His previous coming. He grants you the Holy Spirit, which endows you with power to execute marvellous works. Hence He said, “All power in heaven and on earth have been given unto me”.

WHY POWERS RECEDE

The scripture tells us that when He ascended into heaven He sent the Comforter to His disciples; with various gifts of prophecy, healing and raising the dead; some received the gift of the power to control and others received the power of reasoning. Is it not wonderful that these are embodiments of one person? Since He owned them and distributed same, He has come to collect back all these power to Himself. This is why there are complaints everywhere that there is no more power in any thing except in Him, thus proving that man is a package of vanity. When you call to mind the incidence that took place during the last Nigerian civil war, how the authorities first of all snatched away every war implement without questioning.

That is exactly what Our Lord Jesus Christ has done. Furthermore when these weapons were collected from the people they were used in waging war with their previous owners. If that could be done by man, what do you think can be done by the Omniscient and the Omnipotent. He did this to render you bare so that you may continue to plead with Him for them. This is also the reason why all secret societies have failed, churches fall apart while native and medical doctors as well as all fetish priests become despondent.

If any person tells you that elementary spirits exist, that person is a liar. Now, you are told that there is no other temple other than that of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Father. The temple of God according to the scriptures requires no light for the Lamp that siteth on the throne is the light. I know that you are yet to know these things.

CHRIST ALLOCATES KNOWLEDGES PER SE

You will realise that all manners of knowledge is sent to each of you at your different destinations here in the new Kingdom of God. This is why many of you know how to construct buildings, you are able to design; these go not without understanding. Now services are rendered by the angels. Brethren, had you known where you are, and the person caring for you, you would bow in reverence for Him. Gone are the days Christ went about in canoes or walked about from place to place praying for people; it was so because nothing was accomplished. It is just as one cannot compare the war implement of the year 1914 with those manufactured and used in the year 1939, nor could the war implements used from 1914 to 1939 be compared with the present weapons. At one time you hear of atomic bomb and at another you hear of nuclear weapons, the most deadly war implement. We are thankful to the Father because each possessor of such weapon is hereby constrained to sign treaties of peace. This results in no more world wars. Their wicked designs have taught them to sell off those war implements to the hopeless African countries that use them on each other. I illustrate the heavenly things with the earthly so that you know that if the earth plane improves in principles the heavens would outclass in the improvement. Christ can never adopt the first method in anything that He is doing; He uses modern system to be consonant with today’s system. In the past when He invited people to Himself many gave excuses like “going to bury my father”, ” being in a honey moon”, etc;

Now He varies His method of extending His call just to meet up with the time. I have been telling you that the atmosphere is not what you have to take it lightly. You have to desist from improper bickering, just watch out, for He is doing His work according to His divine plan. This is why I have been telling you that you have not understood these things properly. Simply take it easy and make no fuss about things because until He has finished doing one thing or the other, you will not know when and how He did it, nor would you know that He is at work.

PILOT OF AFFAIRS IN THE UNIVERSE

Now let us take a look at what is raging in the Government and throughout the world. No one has ever asked the people to report nor has anybody told those with atomic energy not to fight neither has any person been delegated to warn the warring parties because Our Lord Jesus Christ is doing His work slowly but steadily. Should you feel reluctant to go to a certain place, you will find out that when you finally decide to go that Christ and His angels had been there already, on full operation. Now that you find Brotherhood of the Cross and Star everywhere, who is responsible for establishing them than Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Presently, centres of the worldly powers like India, America and Europe refers all those who seek spiritual aids from them to the fold of Brotherhood of the Cross, 34, Ambo Street, Calabar Cross Rivers State of Nigeria in West Africa. You may decide to travel down here out of curiosity, just to see the place from where power is said to emanate, but I assure you that the more you look the less you see. Are you not afraid of the marvellous work of Christ? Personally, I am much afraid. Be careful that you do not boast of this power. Sometimes when a sick person is brought to you, owing to unbelief in the fact that Christ does everything, you order that the sick person should be carried away. When the sick requested only prayers before the people carry him away, you offered and behold the sick was relieved and became healed.

GOLDEN TEXT: HEBREWS 7: 25.

“Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.”

Have you heard what is read out to you? There is no other power and there is no other person to whom such authority is vested than Our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the reason every prayer or speech in Brotherhood is preceded with “In the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Now that we all have turned to Him we have to seek salvation from Him for He liveth forever; there is no other source of salvation. Whenever you are encountered with fear and trouble, seek Our Lord Jesus Christ, and discard the invitations of the native doctor, the fetish and the juju priests because they are devoid of salvation and power. All our prayers are treated before Him; the prayers of those who know, accept, worship and agree with Him are promptly attended to and the resultant assistance is given. Do not beg anybody to come and receive blessing from the Brotherhood of Cross and Star. Anyone who likes to steal let him steal. He who likes to commit any sin allow him for ” I will come quickly,” saith the Lord.

Do not forget that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are here on earth. The only thing is for you to confess your sins and repent of them. When you shall have done this, He is ready to save you. As many as love Him and accept Him He authorise them to become the children of God. If you are tricky and disobedient, you are far from salvation. He said, “I will come quickly”.

Supposing that while living in somebody’s house, you create trouble and fight yet the owner of the house keeps silent; you ought to be afraid. Why the Lord is patient and silent is to make Him execute a righteous judgement. This is Christ’s week and whatever you can do, do it to prove that you have acknowledge His Kingship, and have seen Him. You are to demonstrate your joy in any way possible. Show through your deeds that you have received His manifold blessings. Do not ponder in your heart why others are not here but hold fast to your faith because many are called but few are chosen. Do not joke with the opportunity and privilege that God has bestowed on you now. Love, fear, obey, honour and worship Christ because He knows everything about you.

I will not be tedious with you. He who has ears let him hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

THE GREATEST POSSESSION

FIRST LESSON: LUKE 12:29-31
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

SECOND LESSON: MATTEW 5:4
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

GOLDEN TEXT: ROMANS 8: 17
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

SHUN WORLDLY PLEASURES
How many people among the inhabitants of the world have recognised Brotherhood of the Cross and Star as the Kingdom of God on earth? People only come to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star for the purpose of acquiring children, money, life, clothing and houses. All these people seek to be made Presidents, Governors, Chairmen; also to be exalted, recognised, praised, loved and highly regarded by others. Considering all these, can one say they are seeking the Kingdom of God?
As a Christ’s practical student, everything is naked before you; it is either you accept or refute it. Whoever knows the truth has no problem and does not regret. Those who are Christ Practical Students know what they are passing through. They do everything with caution, knowing fully well where they are heading. Hence, they are not bothered, even when people cheat on them and perpetrated whatever atrocities against them. The three texts quoted above, constitute their food.
Our Lord Jesus Christ implored His Father to glorify Him since He had accomplished all that He (Father) asked Him, to do. The people who come to the
Kingdom to urge me Father to bless and elevate them to highly esteemed positions, are such people that seek to enter the Kingdom through the window. God knows our positions; and indeed, everything about us. Therefore, it is very unwise for anybody to implore God to bless and exalt him or complain of one problem or the other. This is not a practice of a Christ Practical Student.

The Israelites stayed in the land of Egypt for four hundred and thirty years.
While there, they farmed, traded, married and raised up children; and when it was the fullness of time, they departed from Egypt. I want you to ponder over this issue; why did the children of Israel depart from the land of Egypt? Having stayed in Egypt for such a long time, the place was literally considered their home. Although the Israelites greatly prospered, and had dwelled there for such a long period of time, yet they decided to leave Egypt their homeland. Obviously, the decision was not an easy one to implement by the Israelites. Why then did they have to leave Egypt? This is applicable to the Christ Practical Students’ fold. It gives an insight into the scriptural nomination that, whoever does not forsake all that he has; and follow after Christ is not worthy to be His disciple.

Many people are in the habit of cautioning and blaming whoever forsakes all that he had for the sake of God. The question is, do people consider such a person to be ignorant of his action? These detractors actually know that he is seeking the greatest things, which is the Kingdom of God. The Israelites would not have inherited the Promised Land, if they had lusted after their enormous possessions left behind in the land of Egypt. And since they had hopes for what was greater than their belongings in Egypt; which was according to the promise of their forefather; they exercised patience despite the intimidation and suffering encountered on the way. At this moment, the entire world is in the land of Egypt; and it is imperative for us to depart to the land that is kept for us. So, we should be prepared to pass through afflictions in order to inherit the land. You are enjoined to be mindless and undisturbed, no matter the treatment meted to you; and abusive language used on you; but should forge ahead and expect what is great. As earlier said, the entire world is in the land of Egypt; and it is now for us to seek the land, which belongs to us.
Let the first lesson be read.

FIRST LESSON: LUKE 12:29-31
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

ENDURE ALL SITUATION
Beloved, you are enjoined not to be bothered about what to eat, drink, wear and should also not be doubtful for these are the desires of the people of the world. What we are required to do is to succumb to any hard situation, mockery and defamation, because of Christ among others. We should not be bothered ever if it means denying ourselves every pleasure; but should forge-ahead knowing that the future holds greater things than what was in the past. You have to do away with all material things and without relenting seek the acquisition of the Kingdom of God.
Is God ignorant of your state; why then do you lament and complain of one thing or the other? This is the Kingdom, which Christ taught his disciples to pray for. See Matthew 6:10. The Kingdom has manifested; and you have to seek it. Your race to become a President would not bring salvation to you; and cannot grant you entrance into the Kingdom of God. God knows all your needs; He knows you need eternal life, power and glory however, the first requirement is seeking the Kingdom; according to His instruction in the scriptures.
The desire to seek the Kingdom of God cannot be derived through long preaching. Those who seek mundane things have perished but those who have forsaken such material possessions have gained the Kingdom of God. Let our Second lesson be re-examined.

SECOND LESSON: MATTEW 5:4
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

SPIRITUAL CHORUS
CRY AND LAMENT NO MORE
FOR THE SAVIOUR IS NOT ON HIS WAY
BUT RIGHT IN OUR MIDST

Beloved, the above lesson does not make any meaning to the people of the world for they are still plunged in darkness since they are children of perdition. However, it makes a lot of meaning to the children of God. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is the Kingdom of God. Thus, only those who are spiritually enlightened really know what is going on in the Kingdom but the people of the world are blind to the situations herein.
Remember the dialogue between our Lord Jesus Christ and his disciples, see Matthew 13:10-11. All that you left behind in order to acquire the Kingdom would be given to you a hundred fold. What does Christ Practical Students stand for? Most people have been pondering over the meaning in vain. Collectively, these titles: Christ Practical Student, Christ Witness, Christ Student, Christ Servant and the Children of God denote the off-springs of the Almighty God.
They constitute those who aspire to inherit the Kingdom of God. A local adage maintains that, the fowl considers the things ahead greater than those of the past. For reference see Matthew 9:16-17.

No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
Lot with his family was warned against carrying any possession and turning back their faces when departing the corrupt city of Sodom and Gomorrah. But Lot’s wife whose mind was in her belongings could not control her lust, and so violated the warning by looking back. And consequently, perished. History is repeating itself in the Kingdom. To drive home this point, there was a certain brother, an Archbishop of a church, from Kenya, who forsook his entire wealth and position; and came to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. And while here, he was addressed as ‘brother’. When people questioned why he has chosen this path, he replied that he was no longer interested in the things of the world. There are other such people in the Kingdom.
Most of the people think that, people come to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star to gain starvation. Do you remember the encounter between our Lord Jesus Christ and a certain young lawyer? See Luke 18:18-22. The young man was sad when our Lord Jesus Christ asked him to come and follow Him; after having sold a1l that he had and equally distributed to the poor.

SPIRITUAL CHORUS
SELL ALL YOUR POSSESSION
AND FOLLOW THE LORD

Your numerous years spent in the Kingdom would be in vain if you do not completely forsake the world. It would be of no help to you, even if you claim absolute knowledge of Olumba and render songs of praise to God, in as much as you still cling to desires of the world. It is completely necessary that you forsake every bit of worldly things. A lot of people do wonder why a person is asked to forsake the little he has instead of further acquiring more wealth, vehicles and raising a clan of children.
Let us re-examine our Golden text:

GOLDEN TEXT: ROMANS 8: 17
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
You being a Christ Practical Student are joint-heirs with Christ, you should suffer with Him; for you would be glorified alongside Him; but you can go your own way if you are reluctant. The coming of the Ethiopian in this very year serves as a very good example to the Christ Practical Students. He rejected the one thousand, five hundred Naira (N1,500.00) that was given to him. Again, when he was given two plates of rice during feasting, he merely looked at it, smiled and then told the sharers that it would not be enough for the other brethren if he alone should eat two plates. But in your case, one person would want to eat up to five plates of rice so as to be fully satisfied.
You are expected to live up to expectation as Christ Practical Students; emulate the Ethiopian. It is most certain that, if we suffer with Christ we would also be glorified with Him.
Beloved a stroke of cane is enough for the wise· Let he who has an ear let him hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the whole world. May God bless His Holy words. Amen.

THANK YOU GOOD FATHER.

“THE LIVING TRUTH”

FIRST LESSON: ST. MATTHEW 23: 11

“But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant”.

SECOND LESSON: ST. MATTEW 20: 28
“Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto but to minister, and give his life as a ransom for many”.

GOLDEN TEXT: ST. JOHN 14: 12
“Verily, verily I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father”.

All the gospels preached to you are references and reminders about the words spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ. None can add nor subtract anything to help in the fulfillment of these gospels. Any person therefore, who would not put the gospel into practice stands to lose his chance in this Kingdom. Everyone is hereby advised to be careful of his or her activities and manners.
Many people today claim that if they were Adam and Eve; they would not have succumbed to the tempter’s ploy. Others also claim that if they were Lot or the rest of the fallen patriarchs, they would not have fallen into the temptation they experienced. The general belief amongst many Christians now is that, their faith in Christ is so strong that if they had existed during the era of our Lord Jesus Christ, they would not have persecuted Him nor denied Him. This testimony reveals the downfall of the inhabitants of the church denominations and the various religious bodies. Furthermore, the testimony proves the fact that:
“…Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (St. Matthew 5: 18).
The first lesson has made it clear that:
“…The greatest among you shall be your servant”.

That is a statement or injunction which nothing can prevent its fulfillment, not even prayer and fasting. Our Lord Jesus Christ made this statement and not Me. Christ Himself practiced the injunction before He gave the charge. Therefore, calling on the name of the Lord alone will not save you except you comply with His injunctions. The reason why the entire world has failed is because; no one has endeavored to put into practice the injunctions of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Visions and dreams would not help you, neither would anyone obtain salvation by mere distributing his money to people. Also, preaching, reciting the passages of the Holy Bible from Genesis to Revelation and shouting the name of Jesus at the top of your voice cannot help at all.
The question now is if the greatest has to be a servant, what then will people of low status be? Can you now realize why the Lord said that:

“…Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist; notwithstanding, he that is the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he”? (St. Matthew 11:11)

The only way to greatness is to submit yourself to the service of others. In other words, you must be a servant to all. Whether you are a lawyer, an engineer, a banker or a manager of chains of firms, you cannot benefit anything nor get a solution to your quest for salvation. Individual status or stature does not count in practicing the gospel. Neither your race nor colour of the skin can help you to practice the gospel except you abide in the Lord.
No person is capable of preaching the gospel or indeed doing anything except the Lord abides in him. Christ is the only one who practices the gospel and whom we have to hear from. He is the only Leader and Savior. Therefore, whoever fails to practice His injunctions does not believe in Him and cannot accomplish the signs spoken of by our Lord Jesus Christ. Can you now realize why the governments, churches, individuals have failed? The entire world has flouted the Lord’s injunction that the greatest should be the servant. God has not provided any special seat to anybody who claims to be the greatest except he who is a servant to others. If for example you visit a certain city and find their king sweeping but you go straight to his reception room and occupy his chair, have you not made a fool of yourself? If you say you want to please God and do the right, you have to humble yourself by serving others. That was what is pleasing to the Father. God abhors pomposity. For instance, it is very distasteful in the sight of God for a person to sit down at one corner and others standing by him to fan him as a mark of glory. He does not also like situation in which a person positions himself only to issue out orders to others to carry out.
Many people complain that power no longer exists and that, there is no Holy Spirit in existence. They go to make various complains and erroneous claims that God does not exist. They are in this pitiable position because; they have all flouted God’s injunctions. The only right path to life is to practice the gospel. It is the manifestation of Christ’s statement that:

“…. No man cometh unto the Father, but by me (St. John 14: 6).

It is also true that, to gain an entrance into this Kingdom is not through one’s wealth, academic achievement or power.
The term faith is clearly demonstrated by practicing the gospel. Can you now realize why our Lord Jesus Christ is the greatest both in heaven and here on earth? In the entire world, who else has the Almighty God accorded recognition as the only King and Lord? He is the only recognized person before God and He is well pleased. It is against this background that the four- (4) wise men went to worship Him with gifts. In heaven, the Lord is the King of the angels. Here on earth, He is the Lord and Savior. You could recall when the wise men arrived at His birthplace they inquired:

“…Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. (St. Matthew 2: 2)
Our Lord Jesus Christ despite His status was not arrogant but He is the life and only model for all to follow. He preached from one part of the world to the other. He preached to the rulers of the earth both in their palaces and in the synagogues. He preached to all and sundry so that mankind would learn of Him and endeavor to resemble Him. We all are living witnesses that, of all born of a woman there have risen none as humble as Christ. Amongst all created by God, including man and the angels, none has ever been declared God’s beloved other than Christ. He is the only one upon whom God declared as recorded hereunder:
“And lo a voice from heaven, saying, this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased. (St. Matthew 3: 17)
He is the only person who has the right of son-ship. This further explains why He alone prayed the Father saying:

“…. O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was”. (St. John 17: 5)

In another instance, He told the Jews:
“Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day, and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. (St. John 8: 56-58).
For those who continued to doubt Him, He asked them why even David himself called Him Lord and King. He is the greatest amongst God’s creation and none can be compared to Him. As the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, He served mankind and humbled Himself even to the point of death. In spite of His good works, His humility and love, the world saw nothing good in Him. In spite of the various persecutions He went through, He continued to serve all and to pray for His Father to forgive them for they knew not what they did. He said:

“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. (St. Matthew 11: 29)
Take particular note of the above passage because that is what He wants us all to do. This is why He warned us not to call anyone teacher for there is only one that is teacher who is the Father and that we all are brethren. He alone is the teacher of this new age and the New Kingdom. Therefore, whatever position you may occupy, whatever name you may answer and whatever profession you may engage in, you should regard this gospel as your guide. Whether you are a president, a traditional ruler, a technocrat, a scientist or whatever, that cannot provide you automatic entry into the Kingdom of God. There were prominent men in the world before and during the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ but God did not consider any of them worthy to be called ‘a beloved son’.
If any person tells you that God is relaxed in His big chair in His throne while His servants or angels continue to fan Him, ask such a person to pray fervently for Himself. God works round the clock for the good of man. Put in a different way, that which God created, has now become a problem to his creator. A local adage has it that, an antelope gave birth to its young one in order to avoid morning dew, but alas, the irony of it is that another antelope desperately runs through the wet leaves every morning in search of food for its young one. The lesson to learn here is that most of the requests you make are invitations of problems to yourself. For example, a man who prays God to give him a wife is asking for extended problems. Extended in the sense that apart from his problems, he would become the sole bearer of problems for his wife, children and the wife’s immediate relations. The problems that we have are brought about by us.

ILLUSTRATION
Once there lived a certain woman who had a stubborn and troublesome child. On many occasions when the child went out and caused one form of trouble or the other, even if he stole, the mother would use her money to close up the case. The boy continued in his violent behavior causing one trouble after the other until one day the boy finally killed somebody and was charge to court. There, he was sentenced for murder to be hanged.
When the sentence was read, in spite of the effort of his mother to use money to save him as usual, he was sentenced to death. Then when he realized that his mother could not save him any longer, he indicated his intention to confide in his mother before being led away for execution. This request was granted and his mother walked close to him. The boy pretended as if he wanted to have a word with his mother and in that process held the mother’s head close to his mouth and bit off one of her ears. Before the security agents in the court could rush in, he had already accomplished his will. When asked why he did that, the boy said that, he was giving his mother a share of the misdemeanors for letting him loose during his infancy, the mother was for that reason sentenced for culpable negligence.
It is said that, you should not seek to be teachers for their judgement is so great. For example, if a vehicle with full passengers is driven out by an ill-trained driver and eventually, gets involved in a ghastly accident, who will be held responsible for the loss of souls? The first thing a man has to do therefore is to know his creator and serve Him. What he does instead is to request for a wife, money, children and other things that are transitory. These things form the basis of your downfall and destruction. By so doing, you have invited more problems to yourself than you can bear. That is why we are told to submit to those who lead us and obey them. Your teacher is the one who will give account before God. And for that reason you should not give him cause to do the work with grief. There are problems in the world today because of the absence of good stewardship. The preachers behave differently from what they preach. They tell you to do what they say and not what they do. This explains why Christ told the multitude that:

“Saying, The Scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do, but do not ye after their work: for they say, and do not. (St. Matthew 23: 2-3)

He therefore, referred to them (Pharisees and Scribes) as the blind leaders of the blind. See below:
“Let them alone; they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch”. (St. Matthew 15: 14). Christ prayed saying:
“And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world. And I come to thee Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou has given me, that they may be one, as we are, while I was with them in the world. I kept them in thy name, those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition. That the scripture might be fulfilled”. (St. John 17: 11-12)
Today, people are clamoring to amass wealth, to occupy important political and economic positions. But no one is interested to serve God. The proliferation of churches is an indication of man’s rebellious tendencies and quest for materialism. Charity, it is said, begins at home. No person who is himself unorganized can get others organized. In the whole wide world, who has endeavored to resemble our Lord Jesus Christ? He never went to the hospital for treatment or consults any native doctor throughout His life. He did not indulge in any act of sinfulness.

This explains why He was so powerful. When a multitude of people went to capture Him, He only spoke the word by saying ‘I am He’, and they all fell to the ground. Does that not explain to you that God is power? If He were not so powerful, what would have caused Pharaoh to allow the children of Israel to go? What would have caused Nebuchadnezzer to live in the forest for seven (7) years? Herod blasphemed against God greatly and if He were not powerful, Herod would have gone away with that insult. He would not have been God any longer. To say the least, if He had not proved himself to be Supreme and Almighty, none would have worshipped Him. If He was not God and most powerful, all men would have drawn battle lines with Him and would have conquered Him by now.
If Christ were to crash-land with fanfare as the world expects, where would He land and would His enemies fold their hands and watch Him safely land? Did Christ Himself not tell the story of a certain man who gave out his field to husbandmen to watch for him? He made it clear in the story that when the man saw the heirs of the farm; they descended on him and killed him so that they would take over the ownership of the farm. Then a question was asked: What would happen to such husbandmen when the owner comes? The answer was given that; the owner of the farm would destroy such husbandmen. This explains why Christ said:
“I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing”. (St. John 15: 5)
Even when He healed that blind young man, the people discountenanced the feat believing that He did it through the power of evil, and most importantly was that He did it on a Sabbath. However, in His reply He said:

“..My Father worketh hitherto, and I work”. (St. John 5: 17)
For those who believe that God works only for six (6) days and takes His rest on the seventh (7) day, have they imagined what would happen everywhere if God should rest for even a second?

What all should note is that, no matter the space of time, God would not fail to destroy the evil ones from the surface of the earth. The inhabitants of the world are not ready to listen to and practice the word of God. The same happens in government and other establishments. People only go there to work for the purpose of making money, to destroy them and not to build. The protocols observed in both governmental and business circles are part and parcel of the security system, particularly in matters relating to having audience with either the Head of Sate of Head or Departments. You must pass through certain formalities before being allowed to meet the President of a country or even other high-ranking government officials. This is for the sake of protecting them.
If man could be so mindful of his fellow man, how much more God? If God were to expose Himself to man without His overwhelming spiritual power, man would have engaged Him in physical combat to destroy Him. For instance, Jacob who had a slight opportunity to meet face to face with the angel of God had to wrestle with Him. He decided to go to any length with the angel until he got blessed. If more persons got a similar opportunity as Jacob did, what do you think would have happened to that Being in the form of an angel?

The problems in the world today are traceable to man’s extravagant habits. When you spend more than your income, you are bound to go bankrupt. A man with no visible source of livelihood would not mind marrying two to ten wives which invariably leads to giving birth to as many children as he and his wives can breed. Tell Me if such a person can ever have happiness and peace of mind? The whole nations of the world, organizations and individuals are bankrupt because they live beyond their means. The salvation lies only in a change of heart. Read the first lesson once more:

FIRST LESSON: ST. MATTHEW 23: 11
“But he that is greatest among you shall be your servants”.
The above passage is the entry visa into this Kingdom. There is no need for you to struggle for food, money, wife, children or anything that is mundane for, there is no profit in those things. The only thing you have to struggle for is this Kingdom. If you desire to be great, you have to serve others. Do not seek to punish or cheat others but endeavor at all times to serve them and better their lot.
No person is capable of doing anything except he practices the word of God and is filled with the Holy Spirit. Many governors, presidents, and very rich men get sick and even die while their exalted positions and their wealth; cannot rescue them. But the one that practices the gospel and abides in the Lord, no matter how lowly placed, is powerful and resolute. Such is the same person who is capable of praying for any sick person to be healed. Of these two classes of persons, who is greater? Many church leaders and leaders in other religious organizations are provided with security agents to protect them.
The only way of salvation is through words of our Lord Jesus Christ. All the inhabitants of the world have alienated themselves from God, and have instead chosen carnal things as their savior. All powers in heaven and on earth belong to Christ. Neither man nor any other thing created by God has power. Instead of all the inhabitants of the world to believe in God and abhor unrighteousness, they resort to idolatry, fornication and disobedience to their Creator. There is no power anywhere except God. Man appears to be helpless and to be overcome by problems that beset him because he has refused to accept God and to serve Him.
There is great reward in heaven for all His obedient children. When a certain sick man was taken to the Disciples of Christ, they prayed for him but could not be healed. When the report got to the Lord He asked that the sick person be brought to Him. The person was brought to Him and He got him healed. The disciples, out of surprise, wanted to know from their Master why they could not heal the sick person. His reply to them was that:

“…Because of your unbelief; for verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place, and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible unto you”. (St. Matthew 17: 20)
Faith is not acquired by words of mouth or show of power but by practicing the gospel. This explains the reason behind the weakness of the various church denominations today. Our Lord Jesus Christ burnt no candles or incenses; He did not beat drums, nor go to the mountaintop with the sick to pray for them. He spoke only the word accompanied with a dramatic effect.

The entire world is empty; it is only the Holy Spirit that reigns supreme. If you desire to be endowed with the power of God, you have to practice the gospel. The word of God is peace, love, prosperity and all the good things. If we accept to serve God, He will not fail to give us our due rewards. He would always answer to your prayers promptly whenever He is called upon. It is said:
“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son”. Let reference be made to the second lesson:

SECOND LESSON: ST. MATTHEW 20: 28
“Even as the son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many”.
There is no particular person who has not benefited from Christ, in one way or the other in his life. Christ does not impute sin on any. It is one thing to claim to be a man of God or a wealthy man; but another thing is to fulfill the responsibilities of that position. Christ did not bestow people with mundane things, He did not pray to people to be rich, but offered Himself to serve all. If He had not surrendered His life as a ransom, where would man derive his salvation? He was called all sorts of derogatory names, despised at and persecuted yet, He continued to love all. He came to serve but not to judge. Therefore, if we comply with His injunctions we shall be completely free from problems.
The political entity (the Soviet Union) once regarded as the most powerful nation in the world was brought to its disintegration because of its abhorrence to the teachings of Christ. The government indoctrinated its people to believe that the idea about the existence of God was a mere illusion, apparition and an act of idleness meant for desperate people. But the question is where is it now in the map of the world today?
Other countries continue to claim to be world powers yet they are hit hard by various natural disasters. Why is it that, their power, wisdom and wealth cannot save them? In spite of their many scientific inventions and discoveries recorded yet, they continue to be visited with vicissitudes. The so-called advanced nations waste their resources in exploring other planets; certain individuals who claim to be spiritually developed embark on excessive astral projection, yet they end up on earth? Even those of us here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, if we were to realize that God is in our midst, we would not indulge in the evil that we do.
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has no problem because it adheres to the teachings of Christ to the letter. We abide by the injunctions of our Lord Jesus Christ and imbibe His lifestyle. This is golden opportunity for all to practice the injunctions of our Lord Jesus Christ. If the children of Israel had hearkened to the injunctions of the Lord the destruction they witnessed would have been averted. Christ came to the world, preached, and practiced the gospel for the world to be in peace. But immediately His ascension into heaven, men went for His disciples to torture them. He bore eloquent witness about the Holy Spirit when He said:

“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you”. (St. John 14: 26)

He made this promise realizing that no man was ready to serve God. By being nailed to the cross, it was the flesh and its lusts that were nailed. The Holy Spirit has come to rule and reign eternally. There is no place for materialism in His Kingdom. He has come as the light otherwise the world would be damned. But for the power of the Holy Spirit, the world would have by now witnessed the third (3rd) world war. This is not the time for anybody to condemn the other or build cathedrals but to practice the gospel. When the people saw our Lord Jesus Christ, they exclaimed:

“…Rabbi, when camest thou hither? (St. John 6: 25) In His reaction, Christ said:
“….Verily, Verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you; for him hath God the Father sealed”. (St. John 6: 26-27)
Which is the food that shall endure forever? It is the word of God, which incidentally man has rejected. All the conventional institutions of learning and other societies cannot give man the much-needed salvation. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is able to conquer the world; it does not desire recognition from anybody, it does not need power or anything that is mundane. It has come to save the world. This is the fulfillment of that promise that:

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth, for he shall not speak of himself; but what- soever he shall hear, that shall he speak; and he will show you things to come”. (St. John 16: 13)
The people of old disobeyed God and got perished. If you continue in that disobedience you shall also perish. Our Lord Jesus Christ did not come to seek for a wife or child, neither was He interested in anything mundane. The case with us is different; we go to God with diverse problems and requests for Him to solve them.
When the Israelites demanded to know from Christ what He came to do for them, that Moses used to pray and manna would fall from heaven for them to eat, He replied them that it was not Moses who provided the bread but His Father. He went further to remind them:
“…Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven for the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world”. (St. John 6: 32-33).
For those who claim to seek after the Lord Jesus, in what way do they seek after Him? The only way to seek after the Lord is to practice His injunctions. Whoever seeks to see the Father should practice the gospel. Whoever shall practice this gospel will do greater works than Christ did. Reference should now be made to our golden text:

GOLDEN TEXT: ST. JOHN 14: 12
“Verily, verily I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these will he do; because I go unto my Father”.
Tell the whole world, the various religious sects and all secret societies that they should practice this gospel. That, the solution to their sorrow lies in practicing this gospel. Do not worry yourself over anything but endeavor to practice the gospel. God does not lax in His promise and He honors every statement that proceeds from His mouth. Do not pray God to heal you or to provide you anything mundane. Just put this gospel into practice and see whether you will not have the power and glory of God fulfilled in you. This gospel is given to you to enhance your prosperity and as a solution to all your problems. The scripture says:
“For the kingdom of God is not in words, but in power”. (1st Corinthians 4: 20).
The so-called wise saying that, man surpasses man, but position surpasses power For example, God has the power and the world has positions. Except all the people in the corridors of governmental power and those occupying other sensitive seats come to the Father and obtain real power, they will not succeed. It is written:
“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain”. (Psalms 127: 1)
Whatever you wish to do, you have to obtain clearance from the Father. Whoever fulfills this gospel and with the promise of Christ fulfilled in Him can never again grope in darkness in search of salvation. The children of Brotherhood have Christ, the Father and the heavenly hosts because the gospel is practiced diligently. The feast you eat, the Holy Oil and Biakpan Water can never lead you to salvation. It is merely profitable to receive the gospel and practice it than to look for ephemeral things. If you allow the word of God to abide in your head you will surely have eternal life and all the good things you need. There is no elementary spirit in the whole world that can challenge a child of Brotherhood.
Should the people of the world ask you about what the Father has given to you as a source of spiritual power tell them that it is the word of God. That we should love one another by giving water to those who are thirsty and food for the hungry. Solace for those in grief and clothes for the naked. Any person who fails to practice this gospel has no share in Kingdom of God. The stone the builders rejected has finally become the chief cornerstone. This is the word of God. That is exactly what has happened in the world today. Brotherhood has come to rule the world. That is the more reason we have to refrain from sins. Christ came to save men and for any man to enjoy this grace, he has to practice the injunctions of our Lord Jesus Christ.

May God Bless His Holy words. Amen.

THANK YOU FATHER

“THE MAN YOU SHOULD NOT PUT UP WITH”

Golden Text: 1 Corinthians 5: 13
“Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.”

MY DEAR BRETHREN, Do you know that right within you is the wicked one that has been tormenting you all these years? You cannot see him, yet he is there. This wicked one goes about masked, changing like a chameleon, and is more pestering than any fly or mosquito. The question now is not whether you like to harbour this wicked man, for nobody would. When you recognise him in one form, he changes into another, even more dangerous. In this gospel, this wicked man is going to be revealed. The safety and happiness of the whole world lies in her ability to recognise and get rid of this wicked man.
Now examine yourself and see whether you have the spirit of drunkenness, pride, stubbornness, annoyance, fornication, greed and lust after worldly things. If you retain any of these, you have willfully harboured the wicked man to your own ruin. You are putting up with a Judas, and if you must not be doomed, you must remove him.

ARE YOU UNHAPPY? SEARCH YOURSELF
If you are unhappy, search yourself, and you will see that one of the above named bad spirits is behind it all. You may not like to offend your brother, but the wicked man in you forces you to. Our duty on earth is to remove this wicked man anywhere and in any form he exists.

HE APPEARS IN MANY FORMS
Recognise him just now. He is the wicked man who gives you bad advice, makes you to commit murder; spoils your good name, causes illness and death. He can use any person or thing as an instrument to ruin you. You are advised to remove such a person. Even if she is your mother, father or child, husband or wife, or a spirit that refuses to please God; even an angel that does not obey God. Any thing that is a stumbling block to a brother is that wicked person.

REFUSE ADVICE FROM EVIL SPIRITS
People like to take any advice; once it is given by the Spirit. But I am telling you to refuse any advice from any spirit that is not in accordance with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. There are many evil spirits that go about deceiving people. They say that the Holy Spirit is not in existence. They believe in necromancer and medicines.

ANGER IS EVIL
There are spirits, which tell you that fornication is no sin. These are not the Spirit of God. They should be removed from among you for they are the wicked ones. Do not be contented with removing only some of the evil acts; remove all. Anger is an evil act, it is very abnormally. See how queer some angry people are. Some do not get crossed the moment they are abused, but unexpectedly fall out with anybody who may happen to praise them. Anger misplaces values. It can turn any good thing into evil. It should therefore be removed at all costs. The tongue is dangerous when wrongly used. Some people show kindness, but go about broadcasting how useless and hopeless the person they help is – mockingly talking about that person’s poverty. Some people follow up their kindness with abuses. They use their kindness as a license to treat anybody anyhow. When kindness becomes a license to abuse, it is no more kindness but sin. Let us therefore try our best to remove the wicked man in whatever form we may find him so that we may be in peace with each other. The wicked man is responsible for all bad government and political chaos, and his ultimate removal is the only way to peace as illustrated in the story that follows:

ILLUSTRATION
Three children came from three neighbouring cities to travel in a second class train. They were the sons of kings. During a short introduction, they discovered that they were of the same age, started schooling the same year. They did not tell one another their destination. But they were surprised to find themselves alighting from the train at the same station. They were still more surprised to find that, they were going to the same house belonging to the headmaster who had served in the cities they came from. They knew this was with a purpose, but they could not say anything till it was proved.
After welcoming them into his house, the headmaster asked the first boy: Has your father learned to be patient now? He asked the second boy breathlessly: “Has your father learned to finish any work he started?” And the third: “Has your father done away with stubbornness”? Seeing that these were the true characters of their father, these boys were very much ashamed so much that they went out and wept bitterly. Weeping was useless.
One of them came up with an idea. He called the rest together and suggested that the boy whose father was never patient should go by the name Patience: the one whose father would never accomplish the work he started be named Accomplishment and the one whose father was stubborn go by the name obedience. They all decided to come home and call the meeting of the three cities for the first time in history. With the facts of their experience, they convinced the people. They asked the three old kings to step down for them. This was done.

PEACE AND PROGRESS EVERYWHERE
These cities enjoyed peace and progress under the new young kings. Those who were exiled through the wickedness of the old kings returned to enjoy freedom. Other towns that had seceded in time of bad government returned to enjoy during the new peaceful regime.

ONLY KINDNESS CAN DRIVE AWAY WICKEDNESS
Therefore brethren, let us use good deeds to drive away bad ones. For only by so doing can we drive away the wicked person that is in our midst. Let us resist the desires of the flesh. Let us walk by the Spirit. If you do this, the wicked person is out already, and you are free. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.

Thank you Good Father

THE MANIFESTATION OF GOD

FIRST LESS0N: 1ST JOHN 2:10
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

SECOND LESSON: IST. JOHN 4:16
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is Love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

GOLDEN TEXT: IST CORINTHIANS 13:11-12
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face; now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Beloved, the Kingdom is love; and everything in it is love. The Kingdom requires only love. So you are to dwell here in love for God is love. In the Kingdom, everybody has equal opportunity of seeing God; so there is no need asking another person to pray or direct you in whatever you desire to embark on.
In the Kingdom, singing, clapping of hands, praying, etc., is carried out by God with love; we dwell in the house of love. This is not a time for man to seek God; for He is everywhere, since He is Love. In the kingdom, there is no shedding of tears, lamentation, quarrelling, fighting, mourning, lack or famine.
None of these unpleasant experiences apart from love, is found in the Kingdom.
The Kingdom is therefore the salvation point for the entire world. When everybody shall have come here, then would everything be vividly seen and not even the tiniest truth would be hidden. Let our First lesson be read again.

FIRST LESS0N:- 1ST JOHN 2:10
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

LOVE IS GREATEST
Beloved, God surely takes whoever works for Him and possesses love to Himself. This is the Kingdom of God, which constitutes love. This is neither a church nor a healing home; but the New Kingdom of God where love alone dwells.
Love is the greatest in the Kingdom. Love cannot be confined to a house, and can not be carried about unless it is possessed by the person; for love is God. For this reason, you are enjoined to exhibit love for one another because wherever Love is found, there would, certainly be no sickness, hatred, fighting, lamentation, war, lack and famine; but everything remains in peace and harmony.
Where Love is found nobody needs to be advised for everything is known by everybody. Everything is done through the directives of love in the Kingdom. Let
our Second lesson be re-visited.

SECOND LESSON:- IST. JOHN 4:16
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is Love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

THE MAGNIFICIENT VIRTUE
The above excerpt explains the necessity for love. Having had the understanding that, God is love; and whoever possesses love dwells in God, and God in him. Everybody should abide in love; for Love has come to lead and direct.
Love does not need vision, gospel and admonitions. Love is the greatest and is the bedrock of every good thing that constitutes God.
God is Love, and Love is God; and God constitutes every good thing. Do not struggle for car, money and other material wealth; for with love, you have the supply of everything. The Kingdom of God does not require any other thing apart from Love. You are enjoined to ardently seek Love; because whoever has Love equally has God; and God dwells permanently with Him.
The scriptures say, God is the same yesterday, today and forever. This is why you would not see another thing besides love. Since your conversion to the Kingdom, you can attest to the fact that I have preached about everything to you and soon I would no longer preach; because I have accomplished everything.
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is no other thing apart from the Kingdom of God. It is not the kingdom of the world, a church, prayer house, healing home; but the Kingdom of God, wherein dwells righteousness.
Most people come here and still persist in lie telling, indulging in diabolism, among other evil practices. Do not be bothered; because only love works in the Kingdom. Love would continue to operate even if nobody expresses it. Love is unchanging. Let our Golden text be re-examined.

GOLDEN TEXT:- IST. CORINTHIANS 13:11-12
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face; now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

LOVE 1S OMNIPOTENT
Beloved, because love controls everything in the Kingdom, nobody should be interested in another person’s affair. The only question you are asked is whether or not you have love; and not whether or not you are saved: the reason being that, it is only Love that is Cardinal and operational in the Kingdom.
We, like the trees, fishes and other creatures of God can know our expectations through love.
No other thing besides Love is entertained in the Kingdom. Your knowledge, foolishness, advice, qualification and other carnal ideas are not needed in the Kingdom. All we need is love; because of this, we are implored to continue in love so that we may please God, since we now see clearly through a glass. The scriptures quoted as the golden text is neither a vision nor a parable but the true words of God. Some people profess to be indigenes of the Kingdom: and yet do not possess love. That is self-deception. They are not in the Kingdom of God; because therein, only love and peace dwell. You are wasting your time if you still nurse hopes of coming into the Kingdom after indulging in sin. The fact is only those who possess love and peace would go into the Kingdom; because it is a virtuous Kingdom. Any attitude that is contrasting to the injunction of love is against the Kingdom.

SPIRITUAL CHORUS

I HAVE SEEN HIM FACE TO FACE
Beloved, since you have now seen Him face to face, you are enjoined to reconcile with your brother; and refrain from all manners of sinfulness. Do not complain of being bewitched, afflicted, convicted or persecuted by the evil one; for such beliefs are not entertained in the Kingdom. This gospel is quite self-explanatory. You had always claimed of having seen a ghost, mermaid, witch and other delusions. But through this gospel and spiritual chorus, you have today seen God, His Supremacy, Power, Kindness and Rulership; and having seen Him face to face; there is no need indulging in argument about anything because every work has been concluded.
Beloved, a stroke of a cane is enough for the wise. Let he who has an ear let him hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the entire world. May God bless His Holy words. Amen.

THANK YOU GOOD FATHER.

THE MATHEMATICS OF GOOD-FRIDAY “STREAMLINED”

1st Lesson: Matthew 16: 21
“From that time forth began Jesus to show unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the Elders, the chief-priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day”.

2nd Lesson: John 2: 19
“And Jesus answered “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise up.”

Golden Text: Matthew 12: 40
“For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth ”

Our Lord Jesus Christ Laid the Foundation for His Death:

Brethren, the texts read to you, summarised the theme of our revelation today. It is said that by the

Words of your mouth are you condemned or justified. Our Lord Jesus Christ said that He would go to Jerusalem where He would be tortured, condemned and finally killed. He said further, that He would rise on the third day. I want everybody to be in complete silence, so that the wax in your ears may be removed, and your bad eyesight, due to spiritual blindness, may be restored. As you listen attentively to this gospel, all your encumbrances are taken away, and you are fully liberated. It is pathetic, to notice that the whole Christendom have lied to the world that Our Lord Jesus the Christ was crucified on a Friday. But Our Lord Jesus Christ is the truth, and His words are true. I would want the Zairians, the Cameroonians, the Liberians, the Americans, and others who are present, and indeed all the inhabitants of the world to listen, with rapt attention to this gospel, so that they can correct the wrong concept dished out to the masses by the orthodox churches. It is absolutely wrong to construe that Our Lord Jesus Christ was nailed to the Cross on Friday. This claim has no substance and lacks the biblical foundation and backing.

Many people have been to Bible colleges, or theological schools and seminaries, all in quest of

Studying religions and the Bible. Some have been to India, the United States of America, Russia and other places to study the Bible, for 20 to 30 years. If they still hold on to the argument that Friday was the first day and Saturday the second day, what about the third day? The orthodox churches keep on shouting Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, but they find it difficult to know when He was crucified. The knowledge, of when Our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified, has eluded the entire world. The significance of the Wednesday Watch and Pray, started during the time the feet of the disciples of Our Lord Jesus Christ were washed. The Thursday’s weekly fasting and prayers symbolise the day He was condemned at 6 a.m., and at precisely 9 a.m. the same day He was crucified. I thank Matthew and John and a few other Apostles, who were able to document the teachings and the crucial events during the mission and operation of Our Lord Jesus Christ. If these records were not kept, the enemies of Our Lord Jesus Christ could have succeeded in suppressing the truth, and of course the truth would not have been known. They would have permanently established their deceit and falsehood in the world for their own advantage.

God’s Words Are Sacrosanct:

Our Lord Jesus the Christ had said that heaven and earth will pass away, but not an iota of the word of God shall pass away. The word of God is not deficient in power. That is why when the word of God is spoken; it will do mighty works, and can break mighty stones to manifest its purpose. From Genesis to Malachi, the words prophesied about Him had been consummated. If you are told by someone that there will be rain by 12 noon the following day, and eventually the rain does not fall, how will you regard such a person? Similarly, if a Being tells you that there will be a heavy down-pour by noon tomorrow, and by noon the following day it rains cats and dogs, how shall you regard that personage?

That is how the spirit of falsehood and error are being differentiated from the spirit of truth. If a person says that by 12 noon the next day there will be rain, and eventually by that time there is no rain, that spirit is not from God. But if he predicts that there will be rain and it rains as predicted, then that spirit is directly from the Father Almighty. That is why He is the Truth, and His words are true. Our Lord Jesus the Christ intimated His disciples that the Comforter, and even the Spirit of truth shall be sent whose words shall be true. He also said that the Comforter shall teach and lead all to the accurate wisdom of the truth. It was absolutely apparent that Our Lord Jesus the Christ surrendered His life, and He had the power to take it back. It was He who deliberately volunteered His life and Himself to the Scribes, the Pharisees, and the Chief-priests. It was the efficacy of His words, which manifested when He said that He would die, but that His Father shall make Him to rise up on the third day. It is pathetic that the whole world has accepted the false doctrine of the so-called Christians, that Our Lord Jesus the Christ was killed on Friday. It is a misleading concept, which should be disregarded.

Our Lord Jesus Christ had said that as Jonah, the fifth of the minor prophets, was in belly of the whale for three days and three nights, so shall the Son of God be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. He said; “nevertheless, I have many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now.” But when the Spirit of the truth shall come, He shall teach and lead you to the accurate wisdom of the truth.

The Bible Confirms that Christ Died on Thursday:

We have not come here to joke, that is why we started commemorating the events of His death since last week. He was killed on a Thursday, and He remained there in the heart of the earth. You can then see that the serious miscalculation of the orthodox churches is very much at variance with the biblical records. Ironically, these are the very people who boast that they have been to seminaries and colleges of theology, to get masters and doctorate degrees in theology and religion. They are not even conversant with simple biblical events and calculations.

Our Lord Jesus Christ was killed on Thursday morning about 6 a.m. If He had been killed on Friday as advocated by the churches of Christendom, there would have been a mathematical error in calculation, as He resurrected on Sunday at 6 a.m. It is this significant event that has caused the Brotherhood world to set aside every Wednesday of the Week for “Watch and Pray”, to commemorate the unique event which ushered in a hallmark, in the existence of humanity.

Christ remained in the Heart of the Earth for three Days and Three Nights:

Our Lord Jesus Christ was arrested and arraigned before the Elders, Pharisees, Scribes and the

Chief Priests at 3 a.m. on Wednesday. This was after the last super He had arranged for that night. According to the Jews, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. was one day, and from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. was calculated as one night. It stands to reason that from 6 a.m. on Thursday to 6 p.m. on the same Thursday was one day; and from 6 p.m. on Thursday to 6 a.m. on Friday, was calculated as one night. In the same vein, from 6 a.m. on Friday to 6 p.m. of the day, was two days. Similarly, from 6 p.m. of Friday to 6 a.m. of Saturday, made up two nights. From 6 a.m. of Saturday to 6 p.m. of the same day, completed the three days, and from 6 p.m. of Saturday to 6 a.m. of Sunday, concluded the three nights. This is the veritable truth, which had eluded the world. The spoken words of Our Lord Jesus Christ have materialised, and those who believe in all these truths are saved, and all their inexplicable teachings are wiped away.

Why We Hold Three Pentecostal Meetings in a Year:

Our Lord Jesus Christ had said; But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my Name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

The April Pentecostal is significant, in that it symbolises the period Our Lord Jesus Christ suffered untold hardship, torment and death, just for the atonement of the sins of mankind. It is a period to celebrate the three essences of His mission, torture, death and resurrection. In the same vein, the August Pentecostal Assembly connotes the period when Our Lord Jesus the Christ was baptised, and revealed to the entire world by John the Baptist. That is why the observance is so tremendously significant. It was then that He was exposed to the Jewish nation and the entire world, for acknowledgement and identification as the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of mankind. Hitherto, He had been in the world for good twenty-nine years, but they knew Him not, until He got baptised at the age of 30 years. That is why we usually rejoice greatly, in the commemoration of His revelation through water Baptism.

We observe the December Pentecostal in remembrance of His Divine Birth. If he had not been born of a woman, He would not have been revealed as the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

If He had not been revealed, He would not have died to shed His precious blood for the remission of the sins of the humanity. Also, the December celebration is not for Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, but for commemoration of the divine birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ. It is axiomatic therefore, that where there are those who investigate and ask questions, there must also be a person around to give answers to such questions. This can be likened to a lingering cough that would not leave its victim. The Zairians, the Liberians, the Americans, the Russians, the Europeans, the Germans and the rest of you, might have asked why the three Pentecostal Assembly Meetings are held. These are periods; Our Lord Jesus Christ must be glorified, as was written in the Bible. He must be glorified with activities featuring songs, dancing, testimonies and recitations, in sober reflections of the real essence of observance of these spectacular and historic events, in the life of Our Lord Saviour, Jesus Christ. While doing this, such worldly tendencies as beating of drums, burning of candles and incenses, and the pouring of perfumes should be avoided. His name can better be glorified and lauded without the use of all these things. I would like our first lesson be read once more. Inform your parents, friends, relations and everybody else, why these three Pentecostal Assemblies must be commemorated.

1st Lesson Matthew 16:21

“From that time forth began Jesus to show unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the Elders, the chief-priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day”.

The Holy Spirit Vindicates Christ:

Brethren, His words are just like a ware-house where articles of merchandise, riches and precious things are stored for the easy supply of any goods. That is what I have presented to you, for now. It is our bounding duty to correct the erroneous arithmetica1 calculations of the three days and three nights, duration of Christ’s death, and end the perversion of truth by the world, Before the eventful arrest, torture, death and resurrection. He made a statement that on the third day; God will make Him to rise from the clutches of death and Hades. But for the arrival of the Holy Spirit, His detractors would have falsified history to their benefit. They would have had their way in manipulating everything about Christ for their own advantage; Many people have diversities of opinions and concepts about the source of power in BCS; I would want to impress upon them that the Secret powers in BCS, come from the strict observances of these divine events, for the glorification of His name. I want to prove the importance of this week to you, just like a proof in Geometry or Algebra. The Friday in question was observed in the Jewish nation as the pass-over day. Saturday was usually observed as the Sabbath day. In view of the foregoing, they decided to kill Him prior to the pass-over and the Sabbath day, for fear of causing uproar. They knew very well that the masses would challenge the rulers, on why the holy and historic days should be defiled. Since He was God, who had foreknowledge of their plot and conspiracy, Our Lord Jesus Christ celebrated the feast of pass-over on Wednesday. This shows that the wisdom of God is far greater than the wisdom of men. If He had not wished to taste of the cup of woes, the arrest and the subsequent arraignment before the elders, Pharisees, scribes and chief-priests, would not have been possible.

The significance of “Watch and Pray:”

That is why we in the BCS world, do not joke with the Wednesday “Watch and Pray”, and the love- feast which often follows the divine observance. This celebration reflects His acceptance and preparedness to die, so that humanity might be salvaged with His stainless Blood. The Jews and the Scribes once asked why His disciples never fasted like the rest of the people. Our Lord Jesus Christ told them that it was not necessary for His disciples to do so, when the bridegroom was with them. That is why it is declared that those who believe fervently in Him are saved. I want you to observe these Wednesdays “Watch and Pray”, from now till eternity. As many as will observe it, their problems, sicknesses, court cases, poverty and wretchedness are wiped away. If you observe all these things, as spelt out in today’s gospel, you are saved and all your problems are taken away have other sheep which are not of this fold, they all must be brought, so that there might be one fold and one shepherd. Our Lord Jesus the Christ had finished His works, and the ball is now in the court of the people of the world to observe the three significant events in Brotherhood. And those who sincerely and diligently observe these remarkable events are liberated and saved. Who are those that are clad in white garments? They are those who have come out from great tribulations and have been washed clean by the blood of the Lamb, who takes away the sins of the world. The three days (72 hours), dry fasting is a great cleansing exercise in this New Kingdom. And it is pathetic to notice that many brethren do not observe it, or the Wednesday “Watch and Pray”. The Watch and Pray is one of the events observed in respect of the death of Out Lord Jesus Christ. We who suffer with Him, and are tortured along with Him, are fully liberated from the bondage of evil. These observances reaffirm our belief in Him. This is also the enabling factor, which, by His grace salvages us. We are also glorified with Him.

The Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ made The Last Reparation for our sins:

Forces outside the confines of His authority never caused the death of Our Lord Jesus the Christ. The supreme sacrifice paid by Our Lord Jesus Christ was the last sacrifice to be ever made for the atonement of mankind. It was comparatively unique, for the sacrifices of goats; sheep or cows were no longer tenable or acceptable, since a sheep, ram or cow could not have atoned for the life of man. All such sacrifices were carnally oriented. Our Lord Jesus Christ had to shed His precious blood for the full remission of the sins of mankind. That is why there is no beating of drums, burning of candles or incense, or the using of perfumes in the BCS. We rather fast and roll on the ground in absolute humility, meekness and love for Him. That is why Our Lord Jesus Christ said through the mouth of Our brother Paul, that Christ sent him not to baptise, but to preach the gospel of the death of Our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross, for the liberation of those who had been spiritually enslaved. The preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness. But unto us who are saved, it is life eternal. That is why I am telling you that by listening to this life-giving gospel, those whose spirits were dormant and dead, are restored to life again. All sorts of problems and encumbrances are taken away once and for all, from them. Let our second lesson be read again.

2ND LESSON: JOHN 2:19

“And Jesus answered “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise up.”

The Truth Has Come:

Brethren, have you heard that text? The Bible says; in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word of truth be established. The second lesson confirms the three days and three nights’ death bid, and its unique essence. He said, destroy this temple, and I will build it after three days. It also sets free, as a releasing factor for those who were in spiritual as well as in mental bondage.

Those who were condemned have been freed, and those who were sick in the hospitals are now permanently healed. It is said, “He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory, but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him”.

Those servants who speak and seek for their glory, there is not even an iota of truth in them. They are fraught with falsehood.

I want the conventiona1 churches to prove their case, with regards to the timing and calculation; of the number of days Our Lord Jesus Christ was in the heart of the earth. The spirit of truth has come to unfold all things for the salvation of mankind. Some people are saying that it does not matter. To assume such a position is wrong. This is a unique and important matter, which borders on the foundation of the Christian faith, life, and salvation of humanity, so it is wrong to treat the matter so lightly. Their calculation from Friday will land them on two days and two nights, during which time Our Lord Jesus Christ would still have been in the heart of the earth. This is wrong, and we cannot compromise or condone this satanic and misleading assumption. That is why this gospel must be documented for the enlightenment and the salvation of mankind. Their deliberate attempt to falsify a genuine truth, and to throw dust into-the eyes of the entire world must be exposed. We will continue to expose the truth until Satan and his agents vacate their throne. A member, through false vision, told a brother to reject his former sister (wife) with children and to take a new wife, claiming that the Father ordered him to give such a vision. But the question is: why should the Father do a thing like that. Which Father in the first place? Such a thing is outrageous and questionable. It is equally blackmail and blaspheme. I am opposed to any falsehood in the world, including the Jesus Christ’s death saga. The calculation is misleading. The case of His birthday, which had been fixed, for convenience could be tolerable, but for the death upon which the salvation of the generality of mankind depends, nobody should toy or falsify it on any account. I will not allow any false doctrine to be spread again in the world, and it is against this background that I am advocating, that nothing should be added or subtracted at all in this case. It is said that if a tree does not fall, the axe shall not rest.

Now a greater number of the conventional churches have begun to adopt the BCS (proposed universal) mode of worship. This is in deed welcome news. Man is prone to sin, falsehood and blunders, but God is truth and all His actions are true and just. This should help us to realise that His words, sooner or later, must be fulfilled. Did Our Lord Jesus Christ not say that every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be up rooted. That is why all false and misleading observance, His death and other issues must be crushed.

His death is the foundation, which must be celebrated with pomp and joy. His death has been the last covenanted arrangement, and that was why He said, “It is Finished”, as He allowed His precious blood to be spilled for the atonement of the sins of men. This supreme sacrifice superseded other sacrifices of goats, sheep or rams, and has wiped away all sinfulness. To this end nobody has the right to impute sins to other people. The sin of Adam had condemned the entire human race to death. But this unique and supreme sacrifice has come to redeem humanity from bondage and the clutches of evil; therefore if any Pastor says he suffers for anyone’s sake, he is a blatant liar. It is Our Lord Jesus Christ who had really truly suffered for all mankinds. It is said that the testimonies from two to three people confirm the truth. Brethren, let our golden text be read.

Golden Text: Matthew 12:40

“For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth ”

The Timing of Christ’s death:

You have already been told that the Jews counted 6 am to 6pm as one day, and from 6pm to 6am as one night. It then proves that from 6am to 6pm on Thursday was one day, 6pm on Thursday to 6am on Friday was one night. From 6am to 6pm on Friday made the second day, and from 6pm on Friday to 6am on Saturday made the second night. The third day was from 6am to 6pm on Saturday. The third night was from 6pm on Saturday to 6am on Sunday. By that calculation, our submission has been proved. We are waiting for the Popes, Archbishops, Bishops and Pastors of the orthodox churches to come to prove us wrong. We do firmly believe that no sane person could come to contest this divine, truth except Satan and his agents. Brethren, that is why we have a cause to thank and glorify Him for this wonderful and recondite wisdom exposed to us. On our part, as we believe and practice this wonderful revelation, all our problems, difficulties, sicknesses and deaths are taken away. Our Lord Jesus the Christ is the mediator of the new covenant, the only true and sincere friend. If therefore we suffer with Him, we shall also be glorified with Him.

The Great Exposition:

It therefore becomes absolutely reasonable, that Wednesdays and Thursdays should be regarded as holy days, and must set aside for the observances of these historic events. Those in the secret cults and fraternities do know the efficacy of these esoteric events, but they had for years hidden them from other inhabitants of the world. They personally observed these holy days, but would not expose the essence to the people.

It is misleading to say that Our Lord Jesus Christ was dead whereas He is lavishly moving about doing His businesses, the esoteric wisdom the members of secret cults were trying to hide. Now the truth is exposed so that the Bible might be fulfilled, which say that whatever had been hidden shall be revealed. They tried to hide the truth, but the Holy Spirit of truth has come to expose all things. There is no variable in the truth.

The Jews in Jerusalem have not yet believed that Our Lord Jesus Christ had come in the form of man. They are of the opinion that Elijah must first come before the Messiah would come. But when the Messiah, Our Lord Jesus Christ was with them, preaching and healing people all over the place, they neither believed nor identified with Him at all. They wanted Elijah to crash land, like a bird from the sky. Their unbelief has made them to be visited with untold hardship. And in this era also, people are still expecting Our Lord Jesus Christ to crash land from the blues. Fortunately, even the heathens have witnessed, and have heralded to the world that Our Lord Jesus the Christ is now on earth.

By Natural Law, Every Man is born of a Woman:

He is born of a woman. It has never been heard that any person had ever jumped down to earth from the sky. This is food for thought for the inhabitants of the world.

Do you mean to tell us that Our Lord Jesus Christ was not born by a woman? Was the heavens not there for Him to crash land from? We do not want to divert into that area right now, but we simply want to expose the necessary ingredients to affirm the authenticity of this divine claim and revelation. The three days and three night’s saga are too strong and important to be ignored. For God said through prophet Isaiah, that they will hear, but will harden their hearts. They do not want to see reason so that they might be saved. It is the Father who is doing His work. I do not see how a man could be so foolish as to fail to see reason. A person who goes to the Bible college or college of theology should be conversant with the Bible. Nevertheless, this simple mathematical calculation has eluded them. They do not realise that Our Lord Jesus was crucified on a Thursday. It is God who has beclouded their intellects and has hindered them from seeing reason. When the angels told them that this same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven, the worldly people interpreted it to mean that He will crash-land from the blues. It is pathetic to realise that the people of the world do, not know the simple meaning of this statement. The full meaning of it all depicts, that just as He was taken up as a human being, it is in the like manner, that is, as a human being that He shall come back.

Revelation 12: has clearly affirmed the truth that He must be born of a woman. It is pathetic that most of them who have graduated from Bible colleges or colleges of Theology, (and some have twenty to thirty Bibles of various versions but still), have not been able to give the correct interpretation to this simple Bible quotation. Brethren, we should watch out for what may happen in the nearest future, it should not be a surprise to you.

Brethren, I do not intend to take you further. A stroke of the cane is sufficient to the wise. Those who have ears to hear let them hear. May God bless His holy words. Amen!

Thank You Good Father.

THE MEMORANDUM OF THE NEW WORLD
FIRST LESSON: MARK 8:34
And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

GOLDEN TEXT: 2 TIMOTHY 4:1-2
I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

INTRODUCTORY CHORUS: “When the word of God is in my heart I will have life.”

THE WORD IS MAN
Brethren, My duty in the kingdom of God is to preach the word of God because the kingdom of God is nothing apart from the word of God, which constitutes power, love, humility, peace, faith, hope, patience, self control and all virtues. Wherever you find these virtues, there also the kingdom of God exists. Listen to the word of God and practise it so that the entire world may see the presence of God and accept Him.

THE WORD OF GOD IS EVERYTHING
Brethren, the word of God does not only exist here in Calabar but throughout the entire world. Go and teach the people of the world about the word of God, lead them to the accurate knowledge of truth. The problem of the entire people of the world is that, they thought the word of God is meant for certain people. It is for all creation of God. Brethren, you cannot claim monopoly for the preaching of the word of God. It must be preached at all nooks and crannies. Whenever you come to the Father, it is your place to listen attentively to the Father and comply with His divine instructions imparted to you.

Instead of being attentive when you are before Me, you pretend to be listening to the word of God but as soon as you get back to your station, you do completely different thing from what I taught you. I want you to practise this very word; go and teach others same so that all would receive light. Many people claim that they are not members of Brotherhood church. Brethren, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is not a church; Brotherhood is the kingdom of God, where the word of God dwells. It is also the dwelling place of the entire creation of God, where they listen to the word of God and practise it. Wherever the word of God is received in the world, and the people practise it, peace, tranquillity and progress abide in such a place. The word of God is not something anybody should reject. Whoever rejects the word of God had rejected life, good health, progress and every good thing in life. But if you receive the word of God, you receive life, and all good things. Therefore preach the word of God, wherever you go.

Your duty is to preach the word of God, because the word of God was in the beginning. When you see man, you have seen God and in the same vein, when you see God, you have seen the word. The word was with God and when God created man, He used the word.

THE STANDARD EXPECTED OF YOU
Do not speak evil word, do not listen to evil communication nor get involved in evil at all. But let your prayer be the word of God. The word of God existed before the foundation of the world. Therefore, when you go out to preach do not tell people the Father said but tell them the bible says. As an ambassador of God, you must avoid fornication, stealing and all sinful acts. A man of God must marry one wife, the same with a woman. They both should abide in peace at all times.

THE SCRIPTURE IS UNIVERSAL
Brethren, the word of God was not exclusively meant for the Israelites alone. When our Lord Jesus Christ commissioned His disciples, He said to them: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world”. (Matthew 28: 19-20)

Now those who had erroneously thought that the word of God is restricted to Calabar and Akwa Ibom State or to members of Brotherhood should take their correction. The word of God comes not only to a particular people or race but the whole world including those who are yet to be baptised. This is because the word is life. This is the memorandum of the New World, the memorandum of the new earth, the government, business organisations, factories and all human organisations. Whatever you want to embark on, you must of necessity include the word of God.

Let our first lesson be read again:

FIRST LESSON: MARK 8:34

“And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

A MIRROR TO CHRISTENDOM

Brethren, many of you, think that this portion is mainly for the disciples of Our Lord Jesus Christ. It is for you and I, and all those who qualify to be called Christians. This is the reason Our Lord Jesus Christ said, ‘whoever would come after Him should deny himself and take up his own cross and follow Him. Whether you are a village head, prime minister, governor, whatever in life, if you want to follow God it is of a necessity that you go from house to house preaching the word of God, help the destitute and do not count yourself worthy. Do not say to yourself, ‘after all I am the king, Prime minister, or a queen. I cannot bring down myself to preach the word of God. Do not stand by while the field is ripe for harvest. You should deny yourself of certain comfort in order to evangelise the world by carrying each other’s cross.

Brethren, the world is blind and incapacitated. All what we need to do is to disseminate the word of God and also put it into practise so that we would in turn gain life. No matter how wealthy you are, without the word of God you are nothing before God. But if you have the word of God you have got everything and without it you are perpetually under bondage. “Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. And ye have forgotten the exhortation, which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?” (Hebrews 12:4-7)

THE IMPORTANCE OF BCS MEMORANDUM
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the last foundation; so do not submit yourself to the things of this world. You should submit yourself to the word of God; abide by His injunctions so that you could gain eternal life. Part of the problem you have in Brotherhood today is your failure to read the memorandum of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. If you open the book and read, you will find very useful information in it. All what is contained there is meant for you to practise. If you practise one and leave the others, it means you have failed. Brethren, the scripture was not meant for you to read like newspaper. Rather it was written for your spiritual awareness and salvation. From the teaching you read, you are then to pass it to others by denying yourself everything in the world and submitting yourself to face calmly any tribulation that comes to you. It is your place to carry the word of God to your house, to your people, community, and to all creation of God in order that you may gain eternal life.

A UNIVERSAL LAW
The word of God is the only law that binds the entire creation. The present generation and generation yet unborn are under this divine law: the word of God. The word of God is our Father, mother, the way, life and everything. Through the word of God you can receive everything you need from God. If we are not under the word of God, it means salvation will elude the entire world. It is generally believed that as a civil servant, you must abide by the rules and regulations governing the civil service. In the event of deviation the person involved would have to be disciplined. In the same token, those who fail to abide by the divine instructions of God as contained in the Holy Bible are indirectly fighting against the real government of the universe.

The bible is the only instrument of rulership. Therefore, in order to live a peaceful and progressive life, you must abide by the injunctions of God. If you practise His teachings, all will be well with you. Before Our Lord Jesus Christ gave up the ghost while on the cross, He said, ‘it is finished’. By this declaration, He meant that all evil practices have been completely destroyed and washed away. So, we are now expected to be under the rulership of Our Lord Jesus Christ. In another instance, He said you should not call anybody teacher or master for there is only one master and we all are brethren. The bible is the only worthy teacher to the entire world. Brethren, if you open the bible now and carefully look into what is contained in it from Genesis to Revelation, reading chapter by chapter, you would realise that the entire world is in darkness and incapacitated.

So, in this kingdom our main assignment is to practise the word of God, so that we will receive life and peace. It is for this reason that, the words you speak are not from you and the words I speak are all not from Me but from the Holy scripture. It is also for this reason, that you are advised by Our Lord Jesus Christ to preach the word of God unceasingly. Whether in season or out of season, preach the word of God constantly. You are to reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and humility. So, when you come before Me, you should receive the word of God, put it into practice and take it to others. If you fail to carry the Gospel to the outside world, how then would the people gain eternal life? Brethren, whatever the nationality or community of a person, you are to preach the word of God to him without any discrimination. This is because; it is the only way and life to mankind.

We are no more in the mundane world; neither do we lust after the things of world. We are under the tradition of God. This is the message you must carry to the world that our common law is practising the word of God and abiding by it. In doing this, do not say to yourself, ‘after all, I am not a man of God’. What then are you?

THE IMPORTANCE OF NUMBERS
I have said it repeatedly that, three is a lucky number. Four is unlucky number, two also is unlucky.

In the same vein, the first and second generations have passed away and this is a generation, which the word of God abides by. You should in likewise spread the good news.

THE REIGN OF GOD
Do not indulge in fetish nor consult necromancer. Free yourself completely from the traditions of your forefathers because the word of God has conquered the whole world. So, you have to abide by His word. This is for the entire creation of God.

TESTIMONY
Brethren, you may have heard a testimony by one Brother Nkereuwem. His elder brother was a member of about sixty-eight different occult societies. But Brother Nkereuwem himself was a member of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and that his elder brother lived in London. So, he wrote and invited Nkereuwem to come over to London and be initiated into these secret societies. But he refused, informing him that he has his own God. When the man heard this he was not happy and so started to try him in many ways. At last, God, through Brother Nkereuwem successfully burnt all the sixty-eight certificates and temples, which his elder brother had attained.

Brethren, have you received the word of God? If you have got it then impart it to others. You must also free yourself from the doctrines of the world and stick to the word of God. If you comply with every instruction given to you by man you would eventually be led to damnation. All what you need to do is to abide by the word of God and teach others to do the same.

The Almighty God, the Creator of heaven and earth is now on earth to establish His eternal kingdom. Therefore, we now have only one Father, one city and one destiny. It is only God’s divine instructions that we must practise in other to have abundant blessing.

Let our golden text be read again.

GOLDEN TEXT: 2 TIMOTHY 4:1-2

“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.”

LOVE AND HONOUR IS INSEPARATABLE

Brethren, that is what we have for you. You do not have any other duty to do than what is written in that text. Now that you received this message, it is expected of you to reprove, rebuke, inform others of what you have received here. Tell the people not to quarrel but to live in peace with one another and to completely avoid evil deeds. Let the light of God dwell in them, so that they may receive peace. The love of God is sufficient to all and His peace is abundant. So, do not believe that God loves others more than He loves you. His love is equal to everybody.

In the same vein, man is advised to love his wife and the wife to honour her husband. Have you now realise that both love and honour are inseparable? The two are necessary for a peaceful co-existence. To the children, He said, children obey your parents in all things for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. To the fathers, He said, fathers provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. (Colossians 3:18-21)

From this you should know that honour is love and love is honour. In a situation where there is mutual respect and love, there is peace and oneness. But if love and honour are from one person, then everything there is in vain.

We must love and honour each other, because through this we receive the peace and blessing of God. This is exactly what God does. God has not kept anybody to be at the head of any thing, because He Himself is the Creator of everything. His words are pieces of advise and those who fail to abide have themselves to blame.

REFERENCE: 1 PETER 2:7-8

“Unto you therefore, which believe he is precious: but unto them, which be disobedient, the stone, which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them, which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.”

The portion is very clear. If you do not abide by the instruction of God it means you would stumble and fall. Brethren, remember what God said to Cain and Abel. He instructed them to come and sacrifice before Him but Cain failed to while Abel did exactly what he was instructed to do. Accordingly he received his full blessing. “And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:” (Revelation15: 5)

Brethren, the problem faced by the entire world is traced to our rejection of the word of God. We do not want to put into practise His divine teachings and for that reason we face series of problems in life. Brethren, daily you receive the word of God and of necessity, you must abide by it. Put other things aside and carry the bible to teach the people so that they may gain eternal life.

Beloved, it is said that, a stroke of cane is sufficient unto the wise. Let he who has ears hear. May God bless His Holy Words, Amen.

THE MYSTERY OF DEATH

1st Lesson :John 16:7
‘Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away the Comforter will not come unto you: but if I depart, I will send him to you’.

2nd Lesson :John 12:24
‘Verily, verily, I say, unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruits’.

Golden Text: John 14:18
‘I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.’
Except a corn of wheat falls into the ground and die, it remains alone, but when it dies, it brings forth many fruits
Brethren, I have tried to restrain myself from giving you this revelation. I had wanted to give you rather slight revelations, but I cannot say why the Spirit persists that I should give this revelation, because it is not only a real mystery but also a deep and recondite wisdom of God. I believe that if there is anything that people should petition about and spend their money in order to destroy, it is death.

WHY DEATH? IS IT REAL OR IMAGINARY
Many people have asked why God had established the invisible institution of death, that it should be abolished completely. This question has disturbed many minds as the people complain that death has wrought trouble upon the surface of the earth, that it is the greatest evil and so they conclude that it is a very bad thing.
People have joined so many secret societies with the hope that death should be abolished but nonetheless death has continued in its work. Different types of prayers have been offered and various actions have been taken to abolish death and rip it in the bud but it has actively continued in its work. Some people continue to agitate their minds about the death institution because the moment you think of it, you become flabbergasted for fear of it.

THE DEEP SLEEP
The wisdom of God passes all understanding. Man is always confounded by the wisdom of God. I had earlier revealed to you about the first ‘Adam’ who died and rose up again. You have been told that God caused Him to fall into a deep sleep. That deep sleep symbolises death. And He had died before He resurrected. This is so because except you plant the seed of corn and yam tuber into the ground and they die no new tuber will be duly reproduced.

TO DIE IS TO REGENERATE
If a person is not dead how could somebody be born into the world? You have lived in the world for a long time and one of your hands or legs have become paralysed, all your teeth have gone out, you will not be born again since you are still in the flesh. Why is it that you are ignorant about this issue? Know now that when somebody dies, in his rebirth, he will not come back alone. As you plant a yam tuber and until it dies it will remain alone but when it dies it produces as many as five new tubers. The same thing happens when a man dies. You and God who should be considered a foolish person?

GO YE AND MULTIPLY
When you are on earth in the flesh you answer only one name Okon. But when you die and resurrect again you will not come back as Okon alone but also as Asuquo, Etim, Kanu, Ikwo, Matthew, Kayode, Peter, and Sani, as many as possible. Reason with me, God created only one man, that one man doubled into two and from these two persons, the world has now witnessed an explosive population. Since the creation of Adam and Eve, have you heard that God has made another person? When you plant one tuber of yam in the ground and water it carefully, if it does not die completely, but still lives, it cannot germinate and will not bring forth any shoots. But when it dies completely and farmers take the dead tuber away, then will it reproduce itself into three or four big yam tubers; so is it with man. It is only after death of one man that many others can follow. Believe fervently that if a man does not die, no person will be born again into the world. As long as you live here in the flesh you will only remain alone but when you die you resurrect, in multiples. You will also remember that when Our Lord Jesus Christ was here in His last advent, when He was in the flesh, He was only seen wherever He went to. When He was at Jericho, the people there saw He, when He went up to Jerusalem, He was seen there. He was always seen as a single individual because He came in the flesh but when He died the condition changed. But before He died He had said it is expedient for you that I go away, for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you. When He died and resurrected, He appeared in multi-forms. He appeared everywhere at the same time and many people attested to the fact that He was seen in several places at the same time.

YOU CANNOT BE REBORN UNLESS YOU DIE
We should have the wisdom that Christ absence means He has come as multiple identical individuals. There is, therefore, the multiplication of ‘Jesus’ ever since His resurrection. You should no longer pray that until He comes back again, it is not meant that you should maintain and stand that He abides alone. The only condition He gave was that if He did not go away the Comforter would not come and if He did not die He would not be reborn unto them. Tell me the truth, if He did not die, do you think He would have resurrected? What crime did the Jews commit against Him? What sins did Judas Iscariot commit? What sin has God Himself committed in the matter relating to His death? Should it not be expedient for us to be joyful? Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself had said to His disciples ‘if you loved me you would rejoice because I go unto the Father for the Father is greater than I’. No person seems to understand that statement. We should be happy because if you do not depart you will not return. Sometimes you are poor, sometimes your hairs have turned grey and one of your legs amputated and if you do not depart with these deformities, you cannot come back as a very healthy man with all the parts complete as a handsome man or beautiful lady.

YOU CANNOT ENJOY THE KINGDOM WHILE YOU ARE IN THE FLESH
Most of you now lament, regret and complain that if you were still young or if you had the time to continue to serve God or if time were to be extended further for you to become a student, you would not have married. And I ask you if you do not die how can these wishes materialise. Many of us have lost our teeth, and we are blind, others are variously incapacitated with disabilities, but if you do not die how will you be born, if you are not born how will you have a chance to enjoy this kingdom of God.
Some of you argue that if your fathers or grand fathers, were still alive till today they would have seen God face to face; who tells you that they are not living? It was because of this glory that they died, that they may enjoy the kingdom. If you watch carefully, you will soon discover that most of us are now very old and incapacitated. You are unable to run more gingerly with some prowess, as you should have done. We have gradually leaned up and emaciated, blood, water and other bodily ingredients have become completely exhausted. With such a condition, how can you jump and take part in all the physical movements which we are always engaged in here. Have you the ability to participate in these activities?

YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN
Some of us here, when we were young, rendered melodious songs like a nightingale but today we only crow. So brethren, observe how God is good. If you do not die you will not be able to resurrect and live an entirely new life. As you wish you were an infant, you cannot fulfil your wish unless this body dies yielding the place to a new body in multiple forms. With such a multiplicity, you will enjoy the kingdom, you will not only feel light but will also see clearly and feel satisfied with yourself, and your request for eternal life will promptly be granted.

THE DAY YOU DIE IS THE DAY YOU ARE REBORN
But I tell you that you do not go anywhere. Examine the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ, ‘I will not leave you comfortless, I will come back to you’. The emphasis is not in the future but the present because to die is to be reborn. The day you die is the day you are born. Have you never heard of people who attest that they had seen one who was dead here and there and yonder? I tell you most of the people you argue were dead, some of them are in Lagos, some in Port Harcourt and some in India and others in Russia physically and travel to several places, buying and selling, cultivating the land. You know that most of them also are engaged in their businesses. Are you not aware of this, but you rather say when a man is dead, he is dead and gone forever and that when a man dies, he will go into Hades. Where is the Hades? Where is the apparition, where is the grave itself?
Even the person you presume dead, is with you physically, because immediately he dies, he also resurrects and accompanies you to the cemetery, where you drum, he drums with you. This does not happen in a dream because immediately a person dies he rises up again. He walks with his native attire – cloth and shirt and hat and walking stick, or with European suit, going about his own business physically.

AN INCAPACITATED PERSON CAN NEVER BE BORN AGAIN UNLESS HE DIES
It is rather an ill luck for a person to die and resurrects physically again. It means he is still in the flesh, the same parts of the body are still found with him, his legs are still with him even though he cannot bite, his ears are also there though he cannot hear again. It is even bad with him because he comes back in the flesh. It may happen that he is driven back and he returns in the flesh, this is ill luck. I usually over hear some people expressing joy that God has preserved their lives, because some people died before the New Year’s day. And most others cannot get up because of illness and that they are not like those who die, but I tell you, those who die are better of than yourselves because they are regenerated. All his sicknesses, his poverty and wretchedness, tribulations and afflictions, and his problems and difficulties are all taken away and solved. He thus, becomes a new creature in multiple, though in identical forms. But you are still living in the flesh with all other encumbrances. Can you not realise that the dead person is better of than you are?
WHOSOEVER IS IN FLESH REMAINS ALONE
Upon all the projections into the various planes of creation, undertaken by people, one thing is sure and that is except you die, you cannot be born again. For as long as you are in the flesh, you are still human and cannot resurrect. In as long as you are in the flesh you abide alone and you cannot do anything, but when you die, you resurrect immediately. As soon as somebody is dead he is reborn. Do not weep and wail because he is around, still conducting his business without hindrance, he is more handsome and wiser than you are.

CHILDREN OF THE RESURRECTION DO NOT DIE
Do you know that there are many persons who live in the world and you cannot recognise or identify them? But I will not want to reveal that secret to you. There are many people here who will never die because they have already resurrected, being the children of resurrection. But they are moving about, living in houses, work in the offices, some are independent people, they are numerous in the world and you always regard them as ordinary human beings.
As at now Our Lord Jesus Christ is in your home, He is inside your body, He is inside water physically, spiritually, and otherwise, if He had not died how would it have been possible for Him to resurrect. The second lesson has told you that except a corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone but if it dies, it brings forth many fruits. Is that statement not an eye opener to you?

IN THE FLESH YOU ARE SERVANT TO SIN
When you pray to God to take away evil and to wipe off from you anything evil, how will He do it when you have injected drugs and black power into your body? You have drank certain compound and preparations of concoction and you have so defiled your body that your body is useless. If you are not dead, how will you be regenerated, how will you have a new life and receive the desires of your heart when you have absolutely defiled and adulterated the body. Paul says in the flesh I am a servant to sin and in my spirit I am a servant to Christ. For the good that I would I do not, but the evil which I would not that I do. Now if I do that I would not it is no more I that do it, but the sin that dwells in my flesh.
Do you not know that this mortal body is filled with sin, the body is, therefore, corruptible, if you are not dead you cannot be born a new and if you are not regenerated, you cannot achieve the target of your heart desires. You have eyes but cannot perceive, you have ears, but cannot hear, and you cannot conceive with your heart.

REINCARNATION
You always plead that God should destroy death but year in year out you are still planting yams, maize, why do you continue to plant these crops? Why do you not keep them aside in the house if you will have yams and maize next year? I am compelled to believe that when the church was not established and the words of God preached and the Europeans did not come to evangelise you, your grand fathers had better understanding of this mystery than you have today. Because all of us here in the family will say you were one thing or the other in your previous generation, you are quite aware of this. If you had not died how would you have been regenerated into new life. You can also remember the article published in one of the daily newspapers of a child who died and came back to life after some years and told a certain man that she was his daughter. The man said he was not his daughter, to convince them, she told the father ‘Let us go to see the grave in which she was buried’ if she did not die, would it have been possible for her to be born again. This event took place few years ago, if she did not die, how would it have been possible for her to be born again. She showed her grave to her father and others. But till today, you still argue that people who die are still in the Hades. Where is the Hades? Go there and see.

REBIRTH RESULTS FROM DEATH
The commission by God for man to go and multiply and replenish the earth means that to be born is death and to die is to be born. When you die, you are regenerated and when you are born you are dead. This is just the way the population of the world has increased by geometrical progression. It is the single and best method of man multiplying until God achieves His target. No matter how much you pray that God should take away death, it is a waste of mental exercise because you have defiled yourself completely with fornication, snuff and cigarette. When you take drugs and concoctions and inject black powder into your body, how will God do His work? You have to die before a new life in multiples comes. No person, except the Father, is responsible for this. Therefore, whoever is born is indebted to death and whoever is death is indebted to a new birth.
REGENERATION AFTER DEATH
Do not plead that you should not reincarnate again because it is now too late. When you die, you reincarnate not as a single individual but as many persons. It is equally too late for you to pray God that you should not die, if you are not dead how will you be regenerated? If you are not born how will you die? This is the strategy adopted by God to cause the multiplication of people in the world. This process of life is the work of God. No matter what you pray for, light candle and burn incense and call the name Jesus or Jehovah, you will not succeed in destroying death now. You should not continue to bother yourself about this concept of death only let the will of God be done.

DEATH IS NOT THE END OF A MAN’S LIFE
Examine these two statements made by people ‘until the end of the world’ and ‘world without end’ when a man is dead; people usually think that he should be given that last honour. You are not aware that he has reincarnated like a baby and adult or an old man with his different dresses; this means then that there is no end of the of the world. You thought this would be the end of this world, because the world has no end. It is world without end.
It is foolishness to feel that you are going to give the dead man the last honour, because if he had lived he would have enjoyed the fruits of his labour. His death means that he is being regenerated and has the time to enjoy his children. I am merely illustrating this lesson with the life of Our Lord Jesus Christ because what happens now is exactly what happened to Him. He was the first fruit of the Father and it was written about Him. It has not been about you. Since He is the Captain, commanding the Army, He is always used as an example to the world, for whatever happens.

GOD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INCREASE IN POPULATION
When the Israelites were delivered from the land of bondage, the male adults were 600,000 but do not forget that in any population the women and children always out number the men population. But among those who left Egypt only two reached Canaan. The question is when the people had successfully settled at Canaan, was the population not greater than when they left Egypt?
Have you not heard that because of the sin of fornication 23,000 persons died in a day in the wilderness? For tempting God, many thousands also died, for murmuring against God, many thousands also died. Where did they die? Yet they were heading to the Promised Land. Would you argue that there was no land? In spite of the fact that so many thousand died in the desert, yet Canaan was densely populated. For one person to die, thousands of persons will be regenerated from the single death. Why then should you argue that a certain thing or event is bad, what is evil in it? Instead of your being grateful to God for making resurrection possible with mankind.

WHEN A MAN OVERSTAYS IN THE WORLD HE IS A BURDEN TO OTHERS
We have the reason to be joyful because the wisdom of God passes all understanding. A man lives to his old age, though there is nothing wrong with him, but he cannot see, he has lost his sight, he has lost his teeth, he cannot speak, or think or walk about because as you came into the world so will you return. If you do not go what are you doing on earth? When you have old parents or grand parents at home what can they do again, you have to do everything for them, fetch water and fire wood for them. They remain where they are and pass faeces and urine. If you have to shoulder such responsibilities, what is the use of their continuing live?
And so brethren, I do not wish to overload you, our first lesson will now be read. Listen attentively because the year 1983 is a wonderful year in which the wax will be removed from your ears and the planks from your eyes. The scales will fall from your eyes and you will see your way through, the words of today will dwell richly in your hearts.

1st Lesson John: 16:7
‘Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away the Comforter will not come unto you: but if I depart, I will send him to you’.

THE DEPARTURE OF CHRIST LED TO THE RELEASE OF THE COMFORTER
You are all aware that Our Lord Jesus Christ spoke in parables for without parables will he not speak. What is read to you is a parable and I am revealing this to you, today. Have you not heard what He says that ‘If I go not away’ that is to say if I do not die, I will not be regenerated and will not come back, but if I die I will come back regenerated. He said it is expedient for you that I die so that I can come back to be with you. You should be joyful, but if I do not die and as long as I continue to live, I shall remain alone, and you will not enjoy the full benefit of my life.
That was why they could not receive the Holy Spirit, because He was alone in the flesh. Since He was not dead, what would have been the benefit if He had continued to live? If Our Lord Jesus Christ were to live till today He would have been still in flesh and He would not have been profitable or beneficial to any person. The world would have perished.

DEATH BANISHES BODILY AFFLICTIONS
If you do not die, your illness and pains will continue to ache and torture you, and you will ever apply scientific medication and indulge in the preparations of concoction, go for medical check up, and X-ray, consult oracles and inject black powder into your body. For how long will you continue to suffer? But when you die you rot and are dried up for a short eclipse and then come back in your new birth as a handsome small boy or beautiful little girl and enjoy the condition of the kingdom of God. When you are regenerated, you come in multiples.

SPIRIT HAS NEITHER BONE NOR FLESH
This explains why when he resurrected, no person, even Mary, could identify Him. The disciples saw Him but could not identify Him; He was now a young man who could not be recognised. When it was morning, Our Lord Jesus stood on the shore but the disciples knew not that it was Him. He said to His disciples, children have you any meat? And they answered in the negative. The disciples were solely afraid for they thought He was an apparition. But He told them fear not, come and touch Me, I am He, for the Spirit has neither bone nor flesh. Come and touch me for I am a human being as you are. To convince them that He was the one, He asked them ‘give me fish to eat’.
While the Spirit is very strong, the flesh is comparatively very weak. Even as you are sitting in here, your flesh is weak unto death because if you do not resurrect, you cannot listen and hear this gospel not to talk about assimilating it. Because it seems to you as in the dream. It is not uncommon to listen to people who claim they have seen apparition. If some one dies now and after sometime when prayers are offered to God he resurrects, every person present will run helter-skelter for fear. How much more somebody who had resurrected and was appearing everywhere, if he appeared to you, would you not have been stricken with fear and you would have taken to your heels.

THERE IS NO DEATH
However, whether you believe or not, it is certain that they are in your midst buying and selling, they are in your offices, and workshops, they are in your homes; they are building everywhere in the mainland part of the state, in Lagos, in Kano, in Britain and in Cameroon. I can assure you that all those you presumed dead are all here with us. All of them are on earth carrying out their lawful occupations. If they appear before you, you will play host to them, eat with them and sleep with them. What are you going to do? Believe it or not there is no death. Sometimes you report to others that when you went to Lagos you saw somebody who wears the same resemblance as the man you knew in your town. He is the person but since your thinking is that when somebody dies he returns to the Hades, you are still ignorant. He is the man you assume to have known before.

TO DIE IS TO RESURRECT
If we had believed that to die is to resurrect, and if one does not die he cannot resurrect, we would have diligently and devotedly engaged ourselves in well doing. And do that, which is good unto ourselves, so that when we return we enjoy the fruits of our labour because all these things belong to us forever, we shall not die.
As a result of our foolishness or ignorance or without the wisdom of the truth we shout and wail when somebody dies in spite of his wealth. For that reason you are given to extravagant living because you erroneously console yourself that upon all your wealth you should always eat sumptuously while you are yet living. So that when you die you may not lose so much, and for that reason also, you begin to cause trouble and confusion for yourself and others. I tell you that you are not going anywhere. You may be unfortunate to be born into the same house you wanted to ruin by your extravagance, and the responsibility for defraying the indebtedness you incurred is upon yourself.
You should realise that most of our problems emanate from uneasiness and you become fed up and frustrated in life. If you were born into the family with silver spoon in the mouth, where everything has been ship shapely arranged, leaving behind for you a good legacy and heritage, you would not have worried yourself, neither would you pray that death should take your life.

GOD INSISTS ON PERFECTION
Since the Father insists on perfection, if a yam tuber is partially destroyed by beetles, and is not wanted, instead a smooth one without any defect is wanted; that tuber would be planted and manure added; So that when it is regenerated, it would bring forth better tubers even more. If, therefore, you insist on such yam tubers, you have to continue replanting and enriching the soil nutrients. This is exactly what God does to human beings. He must always cause them to come and return several times, multiplying during the process until He gets the quality and quantity He requires.

EXCEPT A MARRIED PERSON IS REGENERATED HE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM
What do you suppose is the meaning of the statement by Our Lord Jesus Christ when he said “But those who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage”. Who do you think these are? They are the children of resurrection. They have resurrected physically and they neither marry nor are given in marriage because they will never die again. If it happens otherwise then, they cannot be. For even if you decide now that you will not marry, it is only a waste of time and you will be living in a fool’s paradise. It is only when you die and be regenerated that you become a child of resurrection. That New World, the kingdom of God belongs to the children of the resurrection because they have no feelings, or desires, or urges or appetite for sex or any other thing because they are like angels.

MORTIFY THE FLESH AND BE REGENERATED
It is said meats for the belly and the belly for meats but God will destroy both it and them. The body is not for fornication, but for the Lord and the Lord for the body. But now fornication is the order of the day and it has so defiled the body, the temple of the Most High God, that the body is good for nothing. Now that you pray that death should go very far from you, if it goes, will you ever enjoy this kingdom? If Our Lord Jesus Christ did not die, do you think He would have enjoyed this kingdom? It is said flesh and blood cannot inherit this kingdom. But now you have been enjoined to kill and mortify it. Unless you mortify the flesh, you cannot be regenerated in the Spirit. That is why it is said when you refrain from fornication, falsehood, theft, exasperation and acts of sin, you have mortify the flesh, it means you have mortified the body and you will resurrect in the Spirit, and you will be seen lavishly. That is why Our Lord Jesus Christ says we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed within a twinkle of an eye. Do not doubt these words because not all of you will sleep, some of you will not taste of death for, if you mortify your flesh yielding place to the Spirit and when the Spirit enters into you and gains control over the body.

SIGNIFICANCE OF DRY FASTING
The doctrine delivered to you is meant to help you kill the flesh on the cross with its lusts and affections so that you are regenerated in the Spirit. As the body deteriorates, it means the internal life within you is waxing strong and healthy. As people complain about your health why you have so emaciated, why you have grown lean, whether it is because you no longer eat fish and meat. But in your Spirit, you are seen developing and waxing very strong as a new man. The dry fasting we undertake is likened to somebody dying, because during the period you do not eat, drink, wash, should not urinate and pass faeces, you do not wash or brush your teeth. It is equivalent to somebody gradually pegging away. It is death. It is only when the body dies that you can be in Spirit. When you begin to eat gluttonously, you die in the Spirit and the flesh begins to show that he is the monarch of all surveys.
If you are not in the Spirit, you must be in the flesh, if you are not in the flesh, you must be in spirit. Do not be afraid of anything because all what Our Lord Jesus Christ said, have now been made manifest. Our second lesson will now be read.

2nd Lesson: John 12:24
‘Verily, verily, I say, unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruits’.

Brethren, have you heard what is read to you? When Our Lord Jesus Christ was in the flesh, He was not seen everywhere, He was only seen at a particular place at a particular time. That was why when the disciples told Him, ‘increase our faith’ and He told them that He had not yet eaten and He had eaten enough then would they eat. That He was not yet glorified and when He is glorified then will the disciples be glorified. In as long as you are in the flesh, you can do nothing unless the body dies and yields its place unto spirit before you will be able to do good. If He is not dead, He cannot resurrect, if He does not resurrect He cannot assume that glory. Can you not realise that He is God, He is the truth and His wisdom passes all understanding, His wisdom has confounded the wise men of this world?

THE LIFE OF CHRIST IS A SHINNING EXAMPLE TO MANKIND
If you like believe, but if not, you need not be concerned again, for Our Lord Jesus Christ is the example of life to the whole world. He is the mediator between God and man. He is the Author and propagator of our faith. He is very typical example to the whole universe. He is a shinning example to angels and to all spirits. He was speaking about Himself when He said it is expedient for you that I go away, for if I go not away the Comforter will not come.
Do you remember that when He resurrected, His appearance was seen at several places in some places about 500 people saw Him, He was seen in the church, along the street, at the market square, He was lavishly seen everywhere, because He was a spirit. What I tell you is not connected with magic nor is it projection nor is it offering prayer but one thing is certain and that is if you do not die you cannot be regenerated. If He had not died He would not have resurrected, and no person would have seen Him and He would not have regenerated in multiples.

CHRIST HAS NEVER DESERTED US FOR A SECOND
Since then Our Lord Jesus Christ has not gone anywhere. He is found everywhere otherwise the work of God would not have continued. His name is being called in your house, outside the home and everywhere else; people call upon His name freely and He is doing His work. But people erroneously continue to wait for His arrival praying always until Jesus comes back again. Did He tell you, He would go some where else. He has always been here with man because immediately He died He resurrected with a host.
Why Our Lord Jesus Christ is seen and found everywhere is that he has now come back as a Spirit. If God likes to open your eyes, you will see Him face to face everyday, wherever you are. As you see Him so do others see him at other places physically, spiritually and otherwise. It is not only in spirit that you can see Him, but you can always see Him physically. Down at 8 Eton Street, Calabar in Nigeria at the early beginning of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, Sister Glover had a revelation in which she saw Our Lord Jesus Christ and the twelve disciples physically, and not in the dream.

RESURRECTION REAL OR IMAGINARY
You foolish and ignorant man who argues that there is no resurrection, was the yam tuber you planted in your farm the one you harvested. You can split one yam tuber into four parts and plant them in the ground. Before they germinate and grow into new bodies the parts you buried must actually die before the shoots grow into yams. During harvest you will not dig up half yam but whole yam tubers. Each of the split yam tubers can produce sometimes three to four whole yams. The same process applies in resurrection. He died as a single person, but He resurrected as a multiplicity of the ‘Christ’ and until this day, He is still with us, He does not die again, though people ignorantly pray that until He comes. He can come in various forms, He can come as woman, He can come as a young man, and you can see Him as a white man physically. He can appear to you and serve you as an old woman because He can take any form.
Sometimes while walking along the street you lament about who should assist you, and Our Lord Jesus Christ, appears immediately before your minds eyes and ask you where you come from and where you are going to. Thereafter He will escort you to your destination. That same Jesus Christ our Lord does it. Do not forget that at the time He is solving your problem and simultaneously another person in India has a problem. Another person in Britain has difficulties and another person is sick or hungry in Ghana, since He is now in multiple forms and since He is like thunder booming in all parts of the world, He is ever present to solve peoples’ problems He is neither discriminatory nor forgetful.

DEATH, IS IT EVIL
Now He is both in the Spirit and in flesh. When He was in the flesh, when He did not die and resurrect, He was alone and what should have brought Him to Africa. If He came to Africa, Europe would not see Him and if He were in America, the Asians would not have seen Him. But now He appears lavishly and is seen everywhere. What is evil about dying as a single individual but regenerated in large numbers? If you love particular specie of yam and you buy it in order to plant in and subsequently have the specie among your varieties of yam. When you buy it, you will not eat it but will want to preserve the specie by planting it. The single tuber can multiply to twenty, when you replant the twenty you may get 100 yams and you continue to plant until you have a whole barn of same specie of yams.
Those who continue to argue that Our Lord Jesus Christ has not resurrected, have they not heard what He has said. All those who argue that He will not come back again; do they read that passage? His return means coming, in the same token, your departure means your coming back, your coming means your departure. Did He not show His disciples how He would go to Jerusalem and suffer many things of the Elders and chief priests and scribes and be killed. Peter almost immediately rebuked Him and said far be it from you Lord that this shall not be unto you. But He told them that the third day He would be raised again. Resurrection is therefore, for all and sundry who believe in Him.

HOPE IS RESURRECTION
What is love? Love is God. Love is something, which is unchangeable and does not fluctuate. Everything will pass away but love will not pass away forever. What is faith? Faith is the ‘Christ’ which invariably is the Word of God. The Word of God you receive is faith, if you believe in the gospel you receive, it is the ‘Christ’. What is hope? Hope is the resurrection. All those who have hope in the resurrection have no problems, because they know that except a corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone, but if it dies it brings forth many fruits. The children of the Resurrection are always happy in the resurrection, they rather pray that death should take the body away that they may be regenerated to enjoy life in the kingdom, the fruit of their labour.

THE DESIRE TO DEPART AND BE WITH CHRIST IS BETTER
Saint Paul was one of the great men who believed that without death no person could resurrect. He had hope on that resurrection and that was why he said I am now ready to be offered and the time of departure is at hand. For I am in a straight betwixt two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better: nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more profitable for you.
Do you think that we still have a single Abraham, there is a multiplicity of Abraham everywhere in the world? Paul, John the Baptist, Peter and others have also multiplied and have replenished the earth. This wisdom is not known by any person. I am, however, talking about Our Lord Jesus Christ because there is no statement of his which has not been fulfilled. He said, except the corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies it remains alone, but when it dies it brings forth much fruits. Have you not seen much fruit brought by Our Lord Jesus Christ? He is with us everywhere, inside the sea, on top of trees and everywhere, He occupies every space protecting, saving, giving assistance, warding off evil, healing all ailments and maintaining every person and everything.

OUR LORD JESUS PROTECTS US
It is said, whosoever is born of God does not commit sin but he who begotten of God keeps himself and the wicked one does not touch him. Who is the Son of God? Is he not Our Lord Jesus Christ? Apart from Our Lord Jesus Christ who possesses love? Apart from Him who is merciful, truthful, apart from Him who can tolerate us, and watch over our souls? Can you not realise that if Our Lord Jesus Christ had not gone away He would not have returned in the multiple numbers He appears now? Because He realised the field was indeed all white but the reapers were not there that was why He said it is expedient that I go away that I may come back to you quickly and appear to you in abundance. Now He does not travel by canoe, car, and boat. But He is found everywhere and before He sends you to a place He is already there because He appears everywhere.

OUR LORD WENT INTO THE HADES TO TAKE DOMINION OVER IT
He dwells inside you; in your dream and in vision you see Him; He is speaking to you in Spirit; He is in front of you; He is sleeping with you and simultaneously, he is with your brother and other brethren wherever they are. Do not be deceived again that you should wait until Our Lord Jesus Christ comes back. Have you not seen Him now? He dropped down dead and almost immediately He resurrected with a new life in multiples. This resurrection is also meant for me and you and every person without exemption. Our Lord Jesus Christ went down to the Hades during which period He obtained the keys of Hades and death, chained death itself, broke the spear of death and destroyed Hades itself thus reigning supreme without barrier.

STOP DEATH, AND STOP THE GROWTH OF POPULATION
In the civilised countries even in the less civilised one, laws have been promulgated to legalise abortion to off set the Malthusian principles of population explosion, which if left unchecked will lead, to a world shortage of food. In spite of the legalisation of abortion in many countries, the world’s population is not checked. For as long as people die, people will continue to be born. Unless it is possible to stop death otherwise, there will still be births. The same law was to be promulgated in Nigeria. It would not serve any useful purpose. If you want to stop the growth of population, you have first of all to stop death. Because if people do not die no person would be born, even if you marry a hundred women, they will remain as males.

AT THE END OF YOUR ASSIGNMENT ON EARTH YOU HAVE TO DIE
Tell me why people will not die. Somebody has completed his assignment on earth; he is so old that he cannot see again, it would be time for him to take his next assignment after rendering an account of his earlier stewardship. He cannot see or walk or do anything for himself and you will plead that he should continue to live. Why should he tarry any longer? Since he has completed his first assignment, he should take up the second.
Some people beget children at their old age, by the time you beget children, you are already too old, how can you enjoy them? You therefore, have to go so that you come back to enjoy them. Sometimes, you have been very kind and benevolent to many people. And you are not weary in well-doing, supposing you are old and cannot enjoy the fruits of your labour at a time the people should compensate you, you will not enjoy whatever they give you because all parts of your body are aching. In order to enjoy these things, you have to depart so that you can come back to enjoy these things. Why do you argue that it is not good?

WHAT YOU SOW THE SAME WILL YOU REAP
Your main problem is that you are still ignorant of the fact that to die is to be regenerated. Such ignorance induces you to steal and be indebted to others, when you come back you will defray all your indebtedness before you can settle down to enjoy yourself. Some people immediately they are born, things are very good with them, and everything runs smoothly with them. It is the result of what they did that they begin to reap the fruits of their labour. Another person begins sufferings as soon as he touches down on the ground, he cultivates the land but finds it difficult to eke out a living, it is also the result of what he has sown that he is reaping. If you are indebted, your bank account will be depleted until you have defrayed your indebtedness. So long as you do not defray your debt, you will continue to repay the debt any time you come back to the earth plane. This type of occasion has occurred too often.

WHO BELIEVES IN RESURRECTION?
Our Lord Jesus Christ, has advised that when you ‘make a feast, you should call the poor, the maimed, the lame and the blind, that you should be blessed, for they cannot recompense you, for you will be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.’ About 99% of the population of the world do not believe in the resurrection. If you were to have hope in resurrection then you would not have taken thought of yourself about death because death does not exist, but a figment of people’s imagination. Forget completely about death but do what is good knowing that whatever you do, you are sowing for yourself.
The disciples struggled among themselves who will be the greatest among them, since He took His physical exit from this earth plane which of them stepped into his shoes. No person took over from him. Each person is occupying his own position, there is the division of labour and no person encroaches on the position of others. The Golden text will now be read.

Golden Text: John 14: 18
‘I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.’

What is read to you is quite plain though I do not understand any language. But Our Lord Jesus Christ was speaking in the present continuous tense, I am coming back to you, He did not say that He will come back to you. It is, therefore, erroneous for you to pray that Our Lord Jesus Christ should come back, He has not indicated His return in the future.

A CHALLENGE TO THE WORLD THAT CHRIST HAS NOT GONE ANYWHERE SINCE HIS RESURRECTION
Read the texts to the ignorant and the fools show them to all the inhabitants of the world because I declare this from high heaven. When they hold the belief that He will come back again, I challenge the inhabitants of the world for this belief. He says it is expedient that He goes away, because if He goes not away, the Comforter will not come to you but if He goes away, He will send the Comforter unto you. He says again, except a corn of wheat falls on the ground and dies, it remains alone but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit. He says finally in the golden text I will not leave you comfortless, I am coming back to you. This means that Our Lord Jesus Christ has not left us for even one inch. He has been with mankind since His resurrection and the Father is doing His work. However, many people still feel that He is on the sky, while others say until He comes back again, and I ask you, where has He ever been to?

APART FROM OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST NO PERSON GRANTS YOUR REQUEST
Has He not advised that whatever we ask the Father through His name, He will surely do it for us? Has He ever advised you to ask through any other name or through any other thing? But He says if you shall ask anything in My Name I will do it. Can a dead person or somebody who travels to distant place make such a statement? Ask your carnal father anything whether he will do it for you; ask the government anything you like whether it will do it for you. But ask Him, He is a living person, and He will grant your request.
You do not read your Bible, even if you read, you do not understand the writings, Our Lord Jesus Christ does not die forever. Do you also know that His ascension means descent? The day He ascended into heaven was the day He came down to the earth. Similarly, when He descended to the earth at His carnal manifestation, He ascended into heaven. The story of Our Lord Jesus Christ is a simple one. The time of His birth was the time of His death and the time of His death was the time, He regenerated full of power endowed with wisdom and prowess, having power to rule the world.

BY THE OBEDIENCE OF ONE MAN SHALL MAN BE MADE RIGHTEOUS
Can you not see the folly of man? Caiaphas had told the people you know nothing at all nor consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people and the whole nations perish not. Our Lord Jesus Christ was of the opinion that it is expedient that He should die because that means coming up again. Brethren examine critically which of the actions taken against Our Lord Jesus Christ was evil, that of Caiaphas or those who arrested Him or His death. Because, if these things did not take place Our Lord Jesus Christ would not have come into the world.

REGENERATION TO SAVE MEANS LIBERTY
When you are in the flesh you are in a confinement, like somebody’s movement is circumscribed by four walls of the prison. There are certain places you cannot go to. But when you resurrect and become regenerated you travel to any place at all without passport and visa. You can enter the flesh as well as the Spirit, enter the air and the fire also, it is quite easy to enter everywhere. Can you not realise that He is the doer of the work at this end of time in the world? When I tell you that I am not the doer but He, you always laugh.
Do not gaze at the sun or the moon; do not go to India or Britain. If somebody tells you that He is in the moon, do not go because He has come back, since then He has been here doing His work every time everywhere. He is never sick, does not experience pain, and has no problems.

CHRIST IS OMNIPRESENCE
Even the three days He was supposed to have been in the grave, He did not rest, He spent the three days destroying death and pains of death, collect the keys of Hades and of death and took complete dominion over Hades as the King of heaven. He also released all the members bound.
Do not say again that Our Lord Jesus Christ is in the sky, because He is always in the sky. He is in the sun, moon, forest, and water. He is in your heart and house. Walk majestically and boldly; call every time without getting tired. He is human, Spirit, fire, air and water, He is all and in all.

FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT SERVE GOD
Do not be proud that you are doing the work, it is Our Lord Jesus Christ who does the work. Do not be conceited that somebody is capable of doing everything, no flesh and blood can do the work, apart from Our Lord Jesus Christ. That is why you are advised to mortify your flesh, and live by the Spirit. If you mortify the flesh, you will be one Spirit with Him. Though we have known Our Lord Jesus Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we Him no more. This explains why you are always told to mortify the flesh, refrain from drinking, fornication, adultery, falsehood, theft and the rest of the vices and surrender yourself to Him. See Him, serve Him and dwell with Him.

BROTHERHOOD IS THE NEW KINGDOM OF GOD
Have you not remembered that people in the world address you as witches and wizards, this is based on the little faith you have, because you are being seen physically everywhere. Two or three persons confess they see you at the same time, in their houses, at the hospital: you confess with them whether they close their eyes or not and so they conclude that yours is not a church but one of the most powerful witchcraft cult. They see you both physically and spiritually; you are being seen in the moon and in the stars, in water and everywhere. That is why no matter what explanations you put forward, they do not seem convinced that yours is not a secret society that you belong to a very powerful cult.

YOU WORK HARDER AFTER REGENERATION
Many of you argue that you have never gone overseas. I tell you that have gone; you are entering inside water and loosing them that are bound in chains, you are climbing to great height and loosening the robes, you are entering everywhere and releasing all those who are chained, and liberating all those on bondage. You go to the hospitals and liberate those affected by the machinations of the evil ones. That is why they conclude that your witchcraft is the most powerful in the world.
Those who are Christ’s have crucified their flesh with its affections and lusts, and are now living in the spirit. This is a spiritual warfare. You need no candle or incense or perfume or any other thing but wherever you go to people are always petrified with fear and astonishment that they will openly express that the wizards have arrived again. The spirit will reveal to the people what you are and the elemental spirits of the universe will bow down to you.

MORTIFY THE FLESH WITH ITS LUSTS AND AFFECTIONS
Have you not been confronted with the question, what society do you belong to? As small as you are if you are seen in the spirit people will be bamboozled. One person alone to enter Calabar will ward off all evils and render all charms useless, so whenever people say you are a man of God, they will not believe but will argue that you are a witch. For the flesh lusts against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh, and these are contrary the one to the other, so that you cannot do the things that you would. If therefore, you mortify the flesh, you will live in the spirit.
The doctrines delivered to you have never existed somewhere else in the world. This marks the end of the period when everlasting gospels are given to you.

Brethren, I do not intend to be tedious unto you, one stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise. Those who have ears let them hear may God bless His words. Amen.

Thank you Good Father.

THE MYSTERY OF PATIENCE
1st Lesson: James 1:4
“But let patience have perfect work, that ye may be Perfect and entire wanting nothing”.

SECOND LESSON: MATTHEW 24: 13
“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall he craved.”

GOLDEN TEXT: JAMES 5: 7 – 8
“Be Patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord, Behold, the husband-man waiteth for the Precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; -stablish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh”.

PATIENCE, THE WAY OUT
BRETHREN, the lessons above form the nucleus of our discourse. Being acquainted with this gospel is divine providence and it would do anyone good who would be opportune to do so. The number of years which, you spent in BCS is of no use if you do not practice the word of God, which are given to you by the supernatural Teacher.
Many people get baptized into BCS through persuasion and once they baptized the abscond, and they would not participate in any of the BCS activities and will not want to identify with the fold. You cannot call yourself a member of BCS after- all faith without work is dead.

BE PATIENT
Look back to the Rivers State branch of Elders Fellowship who came to Calabar, the large hall was full to its capacity. Ironically, the international Elders Fellowship could not pull half the crowd. We keep praying to God to give us children, money, wealth and houses. The only problem is that we do not have patience. ‘The work done by patience in this world and other worlds cannot be quantified. The Father is using patience as a weapon to overcome the world. Patience is what the world is lacking, without patience nothing meaningful can happen. If you want a reward for your labor, you have to endure patiently to the end. Why you do not enjoy the goodness of your husband is due to your lack of patience. You cannot benefit from your wife, because, you lack patience. You do not benefit from your church denomination, because you cannot endure patiently.

YOUR BANE
You fail in your business because you lack patience. If you are to meet someone for business, you cannot have enough patience to wait for the person. At times, the moment he leaves the house is the time you arrive. Due to lack of patience, you cannot accept any advice from someone.
The first thing we should request from God is patience. Because of impatience you are fond of praying to God to do something for you Instantly and you will not have patience to wait for God’s reply before you resort to preparation of charms, amulets. The same is the limit of the extent you will go to achieve your aim.

WHAT PATIENCE IS
So you can see that your greatest problem is lack of patience. As such, when you are called for testimony your first Confession is impatience.
There is the wise saying that patience is golden. Another one says patience cures all wounds. That is why anybody who has patience would always succeed in his or her endeavors. This is true. There is no other thing you can use to win the world other than patience. This is what God has used to conquer the whole universe and overcome it. Our prayers from one time to another are before Him. And all the things we do daily are placed before Him. He tolerates us because of His boundless patience. If your dealing and interaction with God’s service is devoid of patience then, you may be without rewards. This is also true of man’s dealing with man. If you do not have patience, you will go home with nothing in any relationship with another person.
All the wars in the world are caused by lack of patience. If we have had patience, we would have received much goodness and benefits from God. This is to encourage those who have no patience to pray for it. And those who have a little should pray for more. Also, those who have enough patience should pray for its continued possession. If you have no wisdom but possesses patience you will have peace and can overcome every odd situation.

THE MYSTERY OF PATIENCE
If you do not have money, but you have patience, you have overcome. If you are an orphan but have patience, you have equally overcome the world. No matter your deficiency in life, once you have patience you are well equipped. That is why you are enjoined to give patience a chance. Patience has a special duty to perform in all our lives. Patience is like salt of which if it is absent in soup; there will be no savor in the soup. Patience is more costly than salt.
There is nothing more valuable than patience. And it cannot be compared with anything. Patience is the only driver of a boat and the captain of a ship. If you have mercy and lack patience, your merciful heart will be very brief; it will not last. If you are truthful, but lack patience, your truth would have a short life span. If you are generous and lack patience, your generosity is not going to be durable.

GOD’S ATTRIBUTE
If you are a humble person but lack the patience, you would not continue for a long time, because after a while you will discontinue. Patience is that mustard seed. And it is God’s attribute. Any person who has patience cannot retaliate, no matter the provocation. With patience, one cannot refute any allegation against him. A patient man allows every event to take its course. There is virtually nothing one can do to anybody who possesses patience. That is why you are enjoined to give patience a chance to fulfil all righteousness. Patience is an abstract phenomenon. Yet it is felt. Importance of patience is inexhaustible. Let us read the first lesson:

FIRST LESSON: JAMES 1:4
“But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing,”

GIVE PATIENCE A CHANCE
How can you overcome temptation when you do not have patience? How can you reap the fruits of your labor and good recommendation if you lack patience? How can you attain salvation if you do not have patience? You cannot make significant progress without patience. Our Lord Jesus the Christ overcame all the temptations through patience. It is written that:

“Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased; I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall show Judgement to the Gentiles. He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear His voice In the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ streets. A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgement unto victory. And in his name shall the Gentiles trust”. (Matthew 12: 18–21).

GOOD FORUM
Any person who does not have patience is not a child of God. You can never do any good thing in life unless you have patience. Someone can build a magnificent building and set it ablaze in a slightest provocation. A person who lacks patience cannot stop fighting, exasperation, and infighting among other-vices. The Father inaugurated the Elders Fellow- Ship because of His immense love. And He uses the occasion to deliver important sermons such as this topic on patience. Patience cannot be bought in the market, and no one has patience in the world. “A person carrying hernia does not complain of pains but a neighbor complains of sleepless nights for him”. This is exhibit of lack of patience.

ILLUSTRATION
THE MYSTERY OF PATIENCE
There was a well-to-do man who was creditor to many people. One day, he summoned all his children and asked them to make -their requests, as he was to travel the following day. Some children wanted cars, gold, bicycle, new designed clothes among other mundane things. However, a daughter asked him to buy patience for her. The girl made this request because she knew that her father was deficient in patience. This was informed by many court cases he instituted against his business partners. As far as the man was concerned, the daughter’s request was frivolous because unlike the requests of other children, patience is an abstract thing. As such, he purchased the needs of all other children except patience. Something within him prompted him to look for the only request (patience) to buy. He continued to move from one shop to another for patience. None of the shops had patience for sale.
This delayed his departure. Since he could not find it in any shop, he decided to go from one street to another in search of patience. By implication, he has started to develop patience by moving from one place to another searching for it. He then made a promise that anyone who would have Patience for sale would be paid any amount of money. He got to a place where he was told that patience was sold there. But that the king must be patience in order to purchase patience. But the man did not even come out to meet this king. The king wanted to confirm whether the man actually had patience to sell. He was enjoined to exercise patience before he could buy patience. He informed the king that, if he did not exercise patience, he would go empty handed, when the king was eager to confirm his claim.
So the king continued to wait until late in the night. It was at this time that the man inside the house put up a light He came out but did not treat the king as a visitor. He kept the rich man waiting for a very reasonable time. This shows how costly patience is. Irked by the delay, the king wanted the man to confirm the assertion only to be admonished by the man that, the king might leave without patience. And that, if the, king was patient, it would cost him nothing to buy patience. Late in the night, the wife to the man who sold patience returned from the market. The king thought that the man was going to beat up his wife for coming back late. He was not annoyed with his wife. By the time the woman could serve her husband with food, it was late in the night. After the dinner, the rich man was given a guestroom to rest till the following morning.

In the morning, many people kept coming in to express appreciation to the couple for giving them patience. They thanked the couple that since they bought patience from them, they were able to have peace in their lives. These people gave money in appreciation to the family for the work well done. The rich man left: for home without informing his host. Normally, what he used to do when he came back from a journey was to summon his children and servants. These people would feed him with every information. He would always react irrationally on the information he received and thereby instituted court actions against his debtors and business associates who in one way or the other could not meet their contract agreement. But in this case, he did not entertain complaints and was not annoyed with anyone. This was unusual. He did not tell them prices of the wares he bought from the trip, his servants and children sold these materials higher than the normal prices. His debtors came to settle their indebtedness on their own, unlike his former approach of coercion.
The elders of the village and other people who had land cases with him on learning of his return, and his new approach, decided to hand over his lands and his other properties. The people were afraid of his unusual calm and misconstrued. As a result of this action, a new chapter was turned in his history. He had peace and became exceedingly rich. For that reason, he gave N500 to the man who taught him patience. Getting there he told the man; that he had actually sold patience to him that he should have the money as a token of appreciation. The rich man became known far and wide. Other chiefs and rulers came to him and asked him to include their domains in his kingdom. There was a perfect peace and happiness in the land. See the second lesson below:

2ND LESSON: MATTHEW 24: 13
‘But he that shall endure onto the end, the same shall be saved.

THE TIME IS NOW
What happened to the rich man can happen to anyone who gets acquainted with this particular gospel. Make an attempt to practice this gospel and see its wonders on you. I will be overstating the fact, if I tell you the reward of patience. If you have been thinking that people do not love you and that things are hard with you, try this gospel and see the miracle of patience. The second lesson underscores this fact. And in another portion, the scripture has it that:

“Whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it”.
(Matthew 16: 25)

The time of foolishness has passed. If you advised to be impatient, fight, or cause confusion, before your needs are attended to, this is not true. Such things would rather bring death to you. If people call you a bad person, you should examine your self and you would discover that you are impatient. People call you a fool because you are lacking patience. They also call you a confusionist because of your impatience. We do not exercise patience over situations and that is why we always fail. God is very patient He is the Father of patience. And our Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord of patience.

DEMONSTRATION OF PATIENCE
Recall the local story of the owl and the kite: When the kite asked God what his food would be; God told the kite to go to the earth and bring anything he met on earth. The kite went and took the young owl. To its surprise, the mother did not make any trouble. She could not even turn to look at the owl. When the kite got to God with his prey, He asked the kite about the owl’s reaction; the kite told God the mother of the young owl did not utter any word. God ordered the kite to go back with the young owl immediately, because, the kite might not know what the mind of the owl is. God told him to go and bring another prey. The kite picked up a chick and immediately the hen started fighting and struggling with the kite for her child. She made so much noise that the kite almost dropped back the chick. The kite was so frightened that, the first thing it did when it got to God was to say that it would never go to such a family to look for food. He narrated the whole event to God and how the chick’s mother almost killed him. God told the kite that he should make the chick his food. And till now the chicks are kite’s food”.
So beloved, any one who does not have patience is liken unto someone who builds a house without partitioning it into roams. This means that, all his property would be gathered in that open space. On the other hand, a patient person is like an owner of a house with many rooms. If you are in the parlor, you do not know what the other rooms are.

THE SAVING GRACE
Man on his own does not possess any wisdom, power, or understanding, which can help him, However if any person has patience, he would be saved: There is nothing worthy of possession than patience. If you fight against a person who has patience, be reassured that he must win you. There is nothing, which a patience fellow cannot get from God. If you lack patience, all your efforts end in failure. The impatient people always ends in nothingness.
I want all human beings, the military, paramilitary, civil, business world, and technicians to buy this patience by reading this gospel. There is nothing, which is permanent. A slave today can become a king tomorrow.

CHRIST AS A MODEL
Impatience is the cause of all coups detats. A friend today can become an enemy tomorrow. Our lives on earth is very short, as such, patience, should be a guide. If you possess patience you can never have problems with people.
Why was it possible for Job to regain all his properties, which he lost during the period of his temptations! It was because of his patience. Our Lord Jesus Christ overcome the entire world and conquered them with patience. If He did not possess patience when He was falsely accused, He would have quarreled. Even Pilate was so surprised to the point of asking whether He (Jesus) could not defend Himself; He did not challenge any of their claims and accusations. The Jews did shameful and provocative things to Him, but He did not fall short of His patience. At the end of it all, His glory is the greatest in the world. Read the golden text below:

GOLDEN TEXT: JAMES 5: 7–8
‘Be patient therefore, brethren. Unto the coming of the Lord, behold the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth and hath long patience for it, until he receives the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient, stablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh’.

BE CONSOLED
Let us all have long patience no matter the condition and situation we find ourselves in. Do not worry yourself about anything, which happens to you. But wait for the fullness of time. Always console yourself with this Golden Text.
May be you have been doing good things to people. Be consoled that God had kept a date to compensate you. However, if you do not possess patience, you will become irked and lose your blessings. Patience makes someone to be perfect and spotless. But to be impatience makes one irrational.

May God bless His Holy words, Amen.

Thank You Good Father

“THE NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH”
FIRST LESSON: II PETER 3: 13-14
“Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless”.

GOLDEN TEXT: HEBREWS 12: 14
“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord”.
OUR ULTIMATE GOAL
Having read these Biblical excerpts, who are those waiting diligently for the new heaven and the new earth? Judging from the operating system of the Churches of the world and the sinful approach employed by the so-called Church leaders the world over, which of these churches would you say is waiting for a new heaven and a new earth? Take a critical look at the different countries of the world, races, governments, institutions, groups and individuals and juxtapose their atrocious, fraudulent and high level crimes in the world today, would you say that they are those who are truly waiting for the new heaven and a new earth? These accounts for what Our Lord Jesus Christ emphatically told the Samaritan that she worshipped what she did not know, but they (Christ) worshipped what they know, because salvation was of the Jews. Read from: St. John 4: 22. “Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews
The same is obtainable in the world till date; the whole Christendom, Moslem, Hindus, Buddhist, Bahai Faith, Judaism etc., plunge themselves into worshipping what they do not know about. Take the so-called Christians for instance, they claim to be worshipping Christ yet their ulterior motive is to acquire wealth for themselves and their immediate families. They extort money from their members and in turn teach them false doctrines. The churches of the world do not worship God in the real sense of the word, rather they develop mania for idol worship, fornication, adultery, stealing, brow beating, husband and wife snatching, murder and personal aggrandizement. Their target is to acquire wealth at all cost.

Even some members in this Kingdom do not come here with the sole aim of worshipping God; rather their motive is to get their problems solved. And some come for protection, while others come so that they may be blessed with wealth, blessed with children, wife, husband etc. You come here so that you will be given a job, you come here so that you will be discharged and acquitted in your age long court case. Some come here so that they will be feared and respected in their families’ etc. Note that except you come here with the mind of worshipping God; you are just like the people of the world that have not come here at all.
You are the cause of your various problems. If you were to know what Brotherhood is and worship God as such, you would not have any problem at all. I want to sound this point loud and clear to you that, in this Kingdom we have no need for money, husband, wife, children, wealth, position and all such mundane things. All we are waiting for is the new heaven and a new earth. The time is nigh for all to join the band of onward march to the new heaven and a new earth. Desist from the search for wealth. If you do not stop to crave for the material things of this world, you are in fact moving into perdition.
Many people here still focus their hope on material things. That is why people say that they want to identify with the Crusaders so that they will be rich, some say that they want to join the Visioners Fellowship so that they will be respected in the society. Nobody ever talks of being baptized into this Kingdom for the sake of having a share in the new heaven and a new earth. The latest is that people scramble to be ordained, as a Child of God so that they will be before the Father, eat free food and be given priority in anything in this Kingdom; in nursing such ambition, you are deceiving yourself. The prime thing is for you to think of having a fair share in the new heaven and a new earth, which the Father is due to fully, establish for His elects. If you have anything in mind other than this new heaven and new earth, note that you are merely worshipping what you do not know.

I want you to realize that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has nothing to do with the material things of this world. Ours is the new heaven and a new earth where righteousness, Jehovah God and His Christ dwell. If you have this at the back of your mind you will not have any cause to worry about the mundane things of this world. It is always a thing of surprise to the people of the world to see the true Brotherhood members who are deserted by wife, husband, children etc, for the sake of this Kingdom, yet these people are not bothered about their loss. This class of people knows the worth of the Kingdom and its glory, which they will enjoy at the end of their race.
There is no where else you can find peace, righteousness and life apart from here in the Kingdom of God. Our faith in this Kingdom is not in the material things of this world, rather, it is in the new heaven and new earth. We hope and believe in its arrival. If truly you are waiting for this new heaven and a new earth, you have to possess peace, love, mercy, and be rich in all virtues and you have to be without blemish. This Kingdom desires nothing other than truth, love, peace, humility, forbearance, mercy and indeed all righteousness. These are our ultimate goal. That is why you find that the same is preached to you here every now and then. It is no news that a reasonable percentage of the so-called members of Brotherhood worship what they do not know about. This is so because they merely prefer to be Brotherhood members. They do not come to the Headquarters to hear directly from the horses’ mouth. But only restrict their worship to out-station Bethels and fabricate false doctrines and teach that to others, thus portraying Brotherhood in a bad light. But as many as come here to receive these true teachings, practice and teach the same to others have no problems at all. Those who do this will have love and live peacefully with all men. They delight in nothing other than righteousness; this class of people has hope in the new heaven and a new earth. To this set of people, the glory of this Kingdom has been revealed to them.

Recall when the Pharisees sought to know from Our Lord Jesus Christ when the Kingdom of God shall come. What was His response? He answered them that the Kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; nor will they say, lo! here or lo! there! For behold, the Kingdom of God is in the midst of you. St. Luke 17: 20-21. Many people who lack this knowledge have derailed from rectitude. A lot of people backslide because their motives in this Kingdom are not met. Those who came here to acquire wealth and all sorts of material things have fallen prey to the members of the so-called born again churches in the world. This class of people are decoyed when they hear that, “you have been baptized into Brotherhood for several years, yet you have no car, house, husband, wife, children, good job etc, why then do you still go there when all your peers have got virtually everything in life”? On hearing this, such people will begin to have conflicts in their thoughts. On realizing that, the so called born again will deceive them into their church in the guise that all these and even more things will be given to the converts by their God. Little would these people know that yielding to such plea is good as accepting to be buried alive. They will immediately pack their long list of carnal desires to their new found ‘saviour’. From that moment, they have opted for eternal condemnation. Their desires for wealth will not be met and they will forever not have peace, joy and freedom.
This same reason explains why you see people wandering from one church to the other and from one hospital or juju priest shrine to the other yet do not have peace. But a true child of this Kingdom has no problem; he is ever blooming with joy every minute. At times many people begin to wander why we converge here every blessed day singing, dancing and receiving the word of God, and get surprised that we do not spare a time for rest. Of course, the reason for their thought is lack of adequate knowledge about our hope and expectation. They do not know that we are desirous of sharing in the new heaven and a new earth. Already we are in the Kingdom of God where righteousness and peace dwell.

God’s word is true and ever sure. We have read that it was written that this generation would not pass away until all the words of God come to manifest. Read St. Matthew 24: 34. “Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled”.
Today have you not seen all that was written about this age manifesting? The limiting factor for very many of you in this Kingdom is that you are still walloping in sins; so long as you are still in sin, you are blinded against God. The truth is that no sinner can see God. For you to see God and be in close communion with Him, you have to sanctify yourself. Furthermore, for you to benefit from your call into this Kingdom, you have to re-order your priorities. Stop henceforth to ask God for mundane things, rather focus your hope in this new heaven and a new earth where righteousness and peace dwell. This is the Kingdom of God. For you to merit it you have to refrain from sinful acts and frivolous demands, after all, these are not what brought you into this Kingdom.
You came here principally to inherit the new heaven and new earth – anything outside this is secondary and appendage. Many people have this misconception that when they are told to love one another and embrace peace, it is because in so doing people will love them back, so that they will have to utilize that avenue to establish links that will aid them to acquire wealth. Far be from this; the fact that you are told to practice righteousness is to qualify you to inherit the new heaven and a new earth. Therefore, brethren, whatever is done here is not to please man or acquire wealth. It is for the sake of the new heaven and the new earth that we are awaiting. Ipso facto, it behoves us all to be without blemish.

The people of the world see Brotherhood members as a group of insane fellows, why this impression? It is because we do not want the things of this world, our hope is in the new heaven and a new earth and our lives depend on its arrival because it is our treasure. For it is said that where one’s treasure lies his heart is there. The reason why we opt for the new heaven and a new earth as opposed to the material lust of their world is that the material things of this world will soon fade away with time, whereas the new heaven and earth is forever.

RECALL ISRAELITES EXPERIENCES IN EGYPT
Everything you see in this world is temporary. They are nothing to depend on. One can only boast of his personal thing, which comes only from God. Take for instance, the experience of the Israelites in Egypt. They had lived in Egypt for about 450 years. Apart from history, many of them would not have known that they were not natives of Egypt. Many of them had accumulated wealth and married many wives etc. They were not comfortable there because Egypt was not the land, which God promised them. God had to liberate them out of Egypt to Canaan, the Promised Land at the fullness of time. Note that the Israelites did not leave Egypt because they were hungry, poor or hard up, rather, they needed their own land where they could stay in peace and feel free to worship God.
Think of all the sufferings and hardship they were subjected to in the course of their journey to the Promised Land. Had they reconsidered the good time they had in Egypt compared to their odd experiences on the road to Canaan. They would have retreated to Egypt instead of enduring to Canaan. But they bore it all in the hope of getting to the promised land that flows with milk and honey, indeed their own home. In the same vein, we have hope in the new heaven and new earth. As such, we do not mind what ever hardship and deprivation we experience in the cause of waiting for our goal having been rest assured that the abundant blessings of inheriting the new heaven and earth is beyond human imagination.
Have you not seen how the people of the world are suffering while you are happy? The people of the world have hope in money and wealth but these will soon pass away, whereas the Kingdom of God remains for eternity. As many as have hope for this new heaven and earth have everlasting life. They do not commit any sinful acts. All the kingdoms of the world have collapsed giving way for the Kingdom of God only to live on. Nebuchadnezzar dreamt of this Kingdom, and Daniel interpreted the dream to him that several kingdoms would spring up and fall but that only one kingdom will stand forever. It is none other than this Kingdom you are toying with.

FIRST LESSON: 11 PETER 3: 13-14
“Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness, wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless”.

BCS IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD
This is the Kingdom that John revealed when he said ‘And I saw no temple therein; for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it; for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp is the light thereof’. Revelation 21: 22-23.
This Kingdom of God has no need of security guards, law enforcement agent etc. Jehovah God and the Lamb is everything in this Kingdom. All is well for those who accept this Kingdom. There is no fear, hardship, hunger, hatred, poverty etc., in this Kingdom. What we have here is joy, love, peace, truth and freedom. Jehovah God is the sole ruler in this Kingdom. He has put a permanent stop to all life peril and had restored peace to His elects – He is indeed everything to us all.
Recall the encounter of the Samaritan woman at the well with out Lord Jesus Christ. She did not know Our Lord Jesus Christ to be the fountain of the living water when at first, Our Lord Jesus Christ requested her to fetch Him water from the well. When eventually Christ told her that He was the living water to give and that whosoever drank of it would no longer be thirsty. She abandoned all her bowl at the well and demanded of Christ the living water. That encounter led to Our Lord Jesus Christ being revealed to her as the Messiah, Read St. John 4.

It is not surprising to mention that many disciples, indeed Apostles of old lacked knowledge of this Kingdom. If they had known about this Kingdom, Peter would not have asked Christ what would be their reward for deserting all they had in the world to follow Christ. Even today, many Brotherhood members still ask the Father when this new heaven and new earth will manifest physically. Henceforth, your eyes shall be opened to behold the beauty of this Kingdom. In this Kingdom there is no iota of oppression, or influence of any kind. The joy flowing here is flowing in abundance for the children of God. It is a wise decision to let go the world and the fullness there in and to opt for this Kingdom because it is only here that one had everlasting joy, life, peace and freedom is sure. This popular song: “take the whole world and give me Jesus” collaborates this gospel and relates to its theme. If you know the underlying meaning of the song, you will be singing it every minute of the day. I must add that for you to qualify for this Kingdom and for you to behold this Kingdom, you must of necessity, practice love and righteousness in your ways. Note that this is Noah’s Ark and that as many as have entered it are saved. As many as have forsaken sins have seen this Kingdom and have shared in the glory of this Kingdom. If you have not seen Him it implies that you are still indulging in evil practices. Read the Golden Text again:

GOLDEN TEXT: HEBREWS 12: 14
“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord”.

THE CONDITION FOR IT
You must practice the Biblical excerpt above if you need this Kingdom, except you want to loose grip of it. If you are in spirit you will see the Lord but if you are in the flesh you cannot see the Lord because God is a spirit and can only be seen through the spiritual eyes. All those who have come to this realization are those who forsake sins. I want you to note that wealth does not qualify anybody for this Kingdom. All you need to qualify you for this Kingdom is righteousness, aside this, you are far from having a share in it. Once again, I must warn you that flesh has no share in this Kingdom.
Recall when one of the multitudes said to Christ: ‘Master speak to my brother that he divide the inheritance with me and He said unto him: man who made me a judge or a divider over you? And he said unto them take heed and beware of covetousness; for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth” St. Luke 12: 13-15. Except we accept to live peacefully with everyone and to practice righteousness, we shall not see God. Let love reign amongst you. This is the new heaven and a new earth where righteousness and peace dwell. And so only the righteous people have the right of inheritance in this Kingdom. The people of the world who profess to be waiting for the return of Christ do not have the prerequisite qualification to behold the Lord. They should be informed that without righteousness no one can see God, otherwise, they will be waiting for nothing.

Today, God is here in our midst. Have the people of the world beheld Him? They have not seen Him because they are sinners. What they can see is money and wealth. They fight, quarrel, and create confusion. They segregate, beat, extort money from people and carve out empires for themselves. This accounts for the proliferation of the churches in the world today.

All those who believe in peace and accept it have seen the Lord whether they congregate at 34 Ambo Street, or not. It does not matter the distance from here, or where they are staying. Many people too have a share in the glory of this Kingdom even though they have not even come here; they are protected and are saved in as much as they have followed peace with all men and have practiced righteousness.

Brethren, it is said that a stroke of the cane is enough for the wise. Those who have ears to hear let them hear. May the Father bless His Holy Words. Amen.

Thank You Good Father

“THE NEW NAME OF GOD”

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: REVELATIONS 19: 12
“His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns; and he had a new name written, that no man knew, but he himself.”

SECOND BIBLELESSON: REVELATIONS 22: 4
“And they shall see his face; and His name shall be in their foreheads”

GOLDEN TEXT: REVELATIONS 3: 12
“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem which cometh down out of heaven, from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.”
What you have just heard read to you constitutes the knot that I want to fix for the whole world today. Because at this final part of the days, God does not want anyone to perish. The Father has seen that without this gospel many people will perish because of ignorance, that is why He has arranged to give you this everlasting gospel of all times.
Those who search the Word of God, the Bible, will find out that the final part of God’s promise is in the Book of Revelation. All what will take place shortly in this final part of the days are written in the book of Revelation. This is the new covenant with His people in harmony with His purposes.

GOD’S NAME REMAINS SECRET
Many people today call God by the name Jehovah. That is a Hebrew name. Others call God by different names. Here in the Cross River State we have many names that we call God. In the Eastern States and other parts of Nigeria and the whole world, this God is known by different names, but all these names are not His name. From Genesis to the Book of Revelation, there is no single person who has known the name of God; I have not heard it mentioned by anyone at all. What happens is that they imagined that the name, for the various Gods worshipped, should also be given to this true God. He is not known or called by these names. Therefore do not allow any body to mislead you by these names. Do not put your hope on the name of ‘Jehovah’ as the name of God wherever you see it written.
Right from the beginning of the world, many people have framed different names for God. Some call Him Jah. He is not. It is exactly as we have it in the world today. You may see a person and he says that his name is Okon, but that is not his real name. So it is with some of you here; you probably have up to five names; the names you are called in the office, the name you are called in your family, the name you are called in friendly circles, the one you use in duping others, and other nicknames that you use as opportunity calls for.
All these are not your true names. Especially the names that you answer in your office and on your certificates may be different from the names you are known at home. The names that you answer in a strange land are not the ones you are known at your home. As a matter of fact the very names given to you by your fathers are not your names. God alone is the one who knows individual names. This is a hidden truth to the whole world from the beginning of creation. How many of you here know your names? That is why it is of no avail to boast in names because what you bear, as names are not your names. This is what has set the whole world aflame, this is what is robbing, cheating and even killing you today. This is what has misled the whole world – name! Because someone will come before you and tell you that he is Joseph, and you may take him to be a good Christian because of that name, but very soon you will realise that there is nothing in that name but falsehood.

A SECRET NAME
God’s word tells us that the one that has come to rule the whole world has come with a new name. He has a name inscribed on his garment, which no one knows, but himself alone. I am speaking to you, who are waiting for Jesus. I am speaking to you who are waiting for Christ. I call your attention to this, you who are waiting for Jehovah. I speak to you who are waiting for Prima. I am addressing you, who are waiting for Jehovah Jah. Yes, you who are waiting for a Saviour and Emmanuel. You will not see them. Of course Emmanuel may come to you and tell you that he is that Emmanuel that you heard of but it will be a deceit.
BEWARE OF FALSE GODS AND CHRISTS
Jesus said that there will be false Christs. Be on the alert, because some will come to you and say, I am Jesus or Christ, and you will bow down to him. Beware he is not. Even if you were to see in a vision Jehovah written on somebody’s forehead, do not worship him, he is not. That is why you are advised to beware of names so that you may not be led astray; because someone will come to you saying that he is the long expected one, when he is not. Since the foundation of the world, there has not been any creature that has known the real name of God. What Christ was able to reveal to us was that He is a spirit and He is the Father. We accepted this revelation of Christ. John further revealed God as love. Christ revealed himself as The Way, The Truth, and The Life. Therefore do not follow after any other names, but follow Love, Truth and Life for this will give you salvation. Do not look for names any more for they are deceitful and detrimental.
If someone calls on you do not ask him what denomination he belongs to or what position he occupies in his Church, this brings inevitable rancour. Do not be led astray by the robes of Pastors, Bishops, Reverends, Prophets, Popes, Evangelists or Apostles. Have you not read of false Pastors, Prophets and Apostles? And what of this name Christian? This name has deprived the entire world today. All the troubles in the world, all the crimes committed in the world today are committed by those who say that they are Christians.

Christendom has failed. I say this because some of you, your fathers are Pastors or Reverends. You are quite aware of the ways they use these names. They use these titles for dishonest gains.
But the name of God is wonderful; it is a Holy Name that nobody knows. He has now come to rule both the Heavens and the earth and there is no one in heaven and on earth who knows the secret Name that He is called by, except Himself. Since the scriptures has told us that nobody else knows this secret Name written or inscribed on His garment, it is then futile for any person to waste his time investigating or imagining what should be his Name. More so, there has never been a time that any part of the Scriptures goes unfulfilled because God’s Word must always come true. If this name were Christ, it would present no difficulty for we all know Christ. If it were to be Enoch, Moses or John the Baptist, there would be no trouble, but this is a secret name that he alone knows.
In the world today, you would see many Churches with different names, some are called Church of Christ, Church of the Lord, Church of Jehovah: what have they done? The use of these names does not change them. Others have chosen to be called Abasi, Chukwu, Chineke, Allah, Olorun and other names but these names have no effect on them. Therefore remove your minds from names, but let us pursue truth and love which shall lead us to salvation. For there is nobody on this earth who will know that Name; it is a secret name known only by the one who has it. Let us no more waste our time trying to presume what this Name may be, or try to work out the name in the way you work out mathematics. It is a secret Name, do not worry yourselves. For as the heaven is higher than the earth so also the knowledge of God is higher than the wisdom of mankind.

JESUS CHRIST HAS A NEW NAME
People knew Jesus, as the Saviour, and Christ as the anointed of God. But it is written that he will come back, and when he comes he will have no share with sin, that means His name is changed. In your secular employment there are ranks and grades, For instance, in the Police Force, there is the Constable rank, Corporal, Sergeant, Inspector, Commissioner and finally the Inspector General of Police. Therefore it is most unwise to believe that when Christ comes again he will be called Christ. Does it mean that Christ must retain his former rank indefinitely? In his time, Christ was the last degree or in other words, the master degree. He faithfully performed his assignment and obtained this master degree and was promoted and all powers and authority in heaven and on earth were handed over to him to rule. How then will he come back to answer Christ? If you were he would you accept such a title which is certainly below your rank? Why should he accept such name again? When he had already attained Christhood?
Brethren, do you see how stupid and ignorant the world is? It is written: When the Son of Man shall arrive in his glory, accompanied with his angels with power: consider what it means! Yes, the entire world will be presented to him to rule. And he will separate the sheep from the goats.
Since he is coming in his glory, how will he again assume the names of shame, suffering and death on the cross, which he bore, in His first advent? Do you not know that when there is a change in priesthood there must be a change in the covenant? Likewise when you are promoted, a new name is given to you. He comes to judge the whole world. Therefore his coming this time has no business with sin. And if you do not refrain from every bit of sin, you will not see him. He is not coming again as the friend of sinners. Why then do people wait aimlessly in their homes, that when Christ will come, he will come to their houses, walk about on the streets and cure diseases? Is this not stupidity?
Therefore brethren, go and tell the whole world, that they should discard such belief from their hearts, for in this second coming he will not be known by the former names again.
He comes with a new name and it is a Secret Name, inscribed on his garment that nobody knows except himself alone. If you like answer ‘Jesus’, and any other person may answer ‘Christ’ because he has opened the way for you. He has set those names aside. He cannot answer Jesus Christ again. Hal-le-lu-jah. Therefore do not know any person by name. Do not look for him by a name for you do not know this name.
Moses came, people knew what Moses meant; John the Baptist came, the world knew the meaning of John the Baptist; Jesus Christ came, the world also knew the meaning. But no one knows the name of the one that is coming except He himself alone. This is where your difficulty lies. “Jesus”, meaning the Saviour lived up to the name and was given the master degree which is the degree that every man of God must attain, Christhood is the master degree. What is before us now is the doing of ‘First and Second Steps to God; these will assist you to attain Christhood. So that no matter how many you are, you are just One Christ. In the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

THE FORMER NAMES HAVE PASSED AWAY, NEW NAMES NOW OPERATE
When you read the bible, you will notice that Christ is referred to as Love and God is also Love. But in this case we are told that His name is inscribed on His garment and no other person knows that name except Him alone. Therefore, it is a waste of time for any person to sit down and try to imagine what type of name is referred to or what the name is. The God that is now on earth does not answer Jehovah, Jah, Elohim, or any other names you may call him. And also the one on earth, to rule with iron rod does not answer Jesus Christ, Saviour or Redeemer. I am saying these things because they are going into record and it will be circulated world-wide, so that if someone comes to you with titles and names, either Jesus Christ, Moses or God, or other names, do not listen to him, because no one knows this Secret Name except Him alone.
We are witnesses according to the Bible that in those days the name of Jesus was used to raise the dead, to make the lame walk, why do so many churches that called on this name not able to use the same in accomplishing these great works today? Rather in some places if you make mention of the name Jesus, you will be beheaded. Or if you build a house and you happen to write all around that building the name of Jesus Christ, you would be told to demolish that building. And so brethren, have you not seen the truth in God’s statement, which says that former things have passed away and all things have been made new? Now, Peter, John, Abraham, Adam and Eve, and all other people of old are here but they are not known by their former names, they now answer new names. The former things have passed away; all things have been made new. Why is it that when you are told that God is now on earth, or that Jesus Christ is here and all other people of old you start to look around? Do you think you can see them physically? Read the first lesson, for I do not intend to go further with you.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: Rev. 19:12
“His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns; and he had a new name written, that no man knew, but he himself.”

Brethren, when you reach home, read this lesson again and pray to God fervently if he would reveal this secret name to you. It is of no benefit for you to fast and pray and ask for God to reveal this name to you. Instead of you searching for this name, use this privilege to love one another, practice the Word of God, and remain faithful. The first heaven and the first earth have passed away, the one in which you are living now is quite a new one. It is a sheer mistake for someone to say that my name is Okon, Ikwo and so on. Many of you are singing, “look on my forehead you will see the name of God written”. Do you know that name? It is written: “that the name of this God will be written on your foreheads”
That is why many people in the world can easily identify you because of the name of your God on your foreheads. How many of you here know those names that are written on your foreheads? How many of you can tell the meaning of that name? You members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, do you believe at all that a name has been written on your foreheads? If so, then what is the name? The world has not come to know this. Therefore, Brethren, you can see that the wisdom of this world does not carry any weight at all; therefore you should refrain from such course of foolishness. What do you think is written on your foreheads? Do you think it is Okon, Ikwo, Affiong, Moses, John, or Jesus Christ?

THE RULE OF GOD AND HIS CHRIST HAS BEGUN
Now is the time that Jehovah God and His Christ have come to rule. Concerning that day, the Son does not know it or the angels in heaven, only He alone knows. That is why God who made heaven and earth has come down to this earth to accomplish His divine will by himself. And today on earth, there is ample evidence of His operation world-wide. Jehovah God and the Lamb of God are now on earth, although He does not answer the Lamb again. You all know why He was called the lamb. But they have come with new names. There was also a reason why he was called Saviour, Redeemer and Messiah. Brethren, all those names have been set aside, the former things have passed away and now all things have been made new. In the name of our Lord Jesus, Amen.
Flesh and blood cannot inherit this kingdom. Let the whole world continue to look into the sky, into the depths of the sea and to India and Calma, they will not know this secret name. And what about you brethren, I mean you who have been in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star for 10, 15, 20 years, have you known the meaning of what is written on your foreheads? Alright, if you say that nothing is written on your foreheads, why is it that when people look at your foreheads, they immediately see the symbol of light? Why then do people become terrified at seeing you and say there is something else in Brotherhood? When God did not write His name on your foreheads, were you not as good as a public towel to the world? But from that day, He inscribed His wonderful Name on your foreheads, look at yourselves now; have you not become signs and wonders to the whole world. Hal-le-jah!

YOU ARE SIGNS AND WONDERS WITH THE SEAL OF GOD’S NAME ON YOUR FOREHEADS
Do you sometimes think why people should be afraid of you? It is not because of any voodoo, song or prayers or any power, but because God’s name has been written on your foreheads, by the one who is now ruling. He alone knows the meaning of this name. When he wrote this name on your foreheads did you see him? Researchers, investigators, philosophers, I ask you, when this name was written on your foreheads did you know? And you doubting Thomases, you who would never believe unless you see, when God’s name was written on your foreheads did you see Him? If you do not know the name that is written on your foreheads, how would you be able to know the name of that One, which is inscribed on His garment? Brethren, the worldly wisdom has failed and the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. There is nothing else that does all the mighty works here Brotherhood than that name. When all the creatures of God including the angels see this name of God on your foreheads, they fall on their faces and worship God. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, A-men.
It does not matter where you live or any place you may run to, or any cloth you may wear, you will be recognised as a member of Brotherhood. That name on your forehead is glittering and when people see it they are magnetised and the light from there goes into their eyes. God has come down and He is doing His works by Himself. I do not have any problem, likewise yourselves. The white man and the black have no more problems: in short, the world is free. Therefore do not worry yourselves in the quest of who is Elijah, God, Jesus or Christ and others. There is only one God. And as soon as He has written this name on your foreheads you and God is one. There is no more division, people can see God in you, no male nor female, no children; you are alike in this kingdom. Brethren, I do not intend to take you further, but when next you will be here I will let you know more details about what is in this Name.
Many people in the world today, take it as a responsibility to go about publicising that they have seen Jesus or Christ some where. This is a bye-gone work. You do not see Jesus or Christ. He died and conquered death, conquered the grave and Hades and he has been enthroned and given a Name that nobody knows except He himself. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, A-men.
Please tell those who are now scrambling to be known by the name of Jesus, Christ, Apostle, Prophets and so on, that all these have passed away, that the one that has come to rule, has come with a new name inscribed on his garment; that nobody knows except He Himself alone. May we have our second Bible Lesson read. Pay attention to the reading.

2ND BIBLE LESSON: Rev. 22: 4
“And they shall see his face; and His name shall be in their foreheads”

Brethren, do you hear that? That they will see his face and that his name shall be on their foreheads. The Word of God comes like fire. It is wonderful to see this type of glory that God has manifested to sinful people like us here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Examine from any record available, whether there have ever been a period of time similar to ours here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.
Forget about being a Prophet, a Pastor, a Visioner, a Bishop, and an Apostle. All these names are deceptive and filled with falsehood. All who have seen God face to face, have got his name written on their foreheads by the one who has the secret name on His garment. Therefore, you are no longer known by those titles but by the name on your foreheads. No one hears of your Name again, no one knows you by your Names, if you like write your names all over your body, you are only known by the NAME written on your foreheads. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, A-men.
With this new name on your foreheads, wherever you go, inside the water, on top of the hills, in the thick forest, everything that sees this name on your foreheads submits to you. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, A-men. You can move and travel to any part of the world fearlessly; nothing will rise up against you because of that name on your foreheads. Therefore brethren, do not seek again for any other name to answer or seek for position, for this name on your foreheads surpasses everything in the world.
Brethren, is it not a thing of joy for all of us sinners who are not deserving of God’s grace, that God has chosen to write His name on our foreheads? When people see you, they eventually see God, for you and God are One. Imagine this type of love, for a person to be a King, and he identifies all his subjects as kings also. There is no discrimination as to who should have this name on his forehead, no partiality, no division.
Some do not want to see other members wearing the white gown, they say it is for the prophets only. No, this is your garment of glory. Whether you come in today or not, that name will be written on your foreheads and you become a citizen of this New Kingdom. You are no more known by any other name, but by that One name on your foreheads. With this name on your foreheads you are equals, unless you do not have this name on you. You cannot hide your identity when or once this name has been written on your foreheads. You sinners have you seen that name inscribed on your foreheads? The world has rejected you, sin has also rejected you; you have no one on your side. You are of the Father! You are to walk fearlessly, for there is none that can challenge you. It is this boldness that makes people to wonder what you are given here in Brotherhood.
Every word of God is accompanied with Power. Therefore do not ask any question of what is written on your foreheads, because all that were written about you are now fulfilled in this final part of the time. Do not worry yourselves to fast in order to know about the name on your foreheads, that is contention and egotism; this will be disastrous to you. Take the words that Christ spoke to his disciples when they returned from the ministry to heart:
Do not rejoice because you have children, do not rejoice because you have seen Him face to face, and He has written His name on your foreheads.
If you look on your face in a mirror you will not see this name. If you approach a visioner to tell you what is written on your foreheads, he will not see it. He cannot tell you.

Because that name is an everlasting redemption for all children of God. Do you remember when the four angels were standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree but one of the angels stood by and told them to hold on until they have sealed the servants of God upon their foreheads, and those so sealed numbered 144,000. These have the name of their Father written on their foreheads and there shall be no evil that will befall them. Since the foundation of the world, this is the first time that the world, the demons have been puzzled with calculations. Because the whole world does not know the source of the power in Brotherhood.
People ask what is this Brotherhood all about? They ask you to tell the truth of the secret Power in Brotherhood and your answer is always “I do not know”. Hardly they believe you, they continue investigating and even checking your movements, all to no avail.
But it is that Name on your foreheads that is worrying them. Because even death flees at seeing that name on your foreheads. There is no other name in the world today than this wonderful name. Today if you write this name ‘Brotherhood’ on your doorpost, your co-tenants will not be happy to see it. It is written that the name of His God, the name of the city and his new name will be written on your foreheads. That is why if you call Him Jehovah He does not hear you, because this is not His new Name. It is also written that he who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple and never shall he go out of it.
What will you conquer in order to be made a pillar? You must conquer fear, gossiping, slandering, temptations, and loose conduct. Yes anyone that conquers these things will receive the insignia of the New Jerusalem on him. The very name that is inscribed on His garment is what he writes on your foreheads if you conquer. What do you think of it brethren, that He writes on your foreheads the exact Name that He is known by! What a wonderful privilege.
Go and tell all those now fighting to be called Jesus or Christ, angry people, men of strife and bitterness, tell them that the former things have passed away and now all things have been made new.

Today many people are even surprised to hear the name Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. They say that they have heard of so many names of churches, but not Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Since you were born have you yourselves heard of such a name, either in this world or in a dream? This is an example of what I have been telling you.
Today people nursed animosity against this name, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. If you visit people and say that you are from the Duke Town Church, or Church of Christ or any other Church, you will be welcomed. But if you say that you are from Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, you will be given the cold shoulder and asked to go away from their midst. Even voodoo priests will be welcomed for they say that they are saving lives. Members of other societies will be encouraged but not those of Brotherhood: this they say is too bad to belong. They term it a Society of Beelzebub. Today, no one says he is going to a church but Bethel. They talk about building new Bethels and they only understand this language. Yes, God does not teach you, you will not learn, you will never, never understand, no matter how old you are in this world
The new city spoken about symbolises you yourselves. The New Jerusalem spoken about also refers to you. And His name mentioned therein is the Word of God. It is said that never shall they go out of it. Mention any church in the whole world where its members sleep in it always. But not so in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. This is the house of our God where all those who come in will not go out of it. May we listen to the golden text.

GOLDEN TEXT: Rev. 3:12
“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem which cometh down out of heaven, from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.”
Do you hear what this portion of the Scripture says? Yes, they shall never go out of it. If you are a Brotherhood member, you prefer to sleep on the bare floor in the Bethel than on your beds at home. That is why people say there is something in that place, for they cannot understand why you prefer to sleep on ordinary floor always. They also accuse the Leader of giving you something that makes you to forget your parents and relatives. This is false. But brethren, do you listen to this statement! “He that conquers, I will make a pillar in the temples of my God: NEVER SHALL HE GO OUT OF IT”. That is the point.
Your raiment is another conquest for you because people are surprised to see you in this wonderful garment of glory. Mention any Church where you see lawyers, doctors, people of high position in life going to sleep on the floor like we have in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. In fact many of the decorated Cathedrals are kept empty for the demons to dwell while the members are driven home after a limited time of meetings.

PUT ON THE NEW PERSONALITY
You are welcomed to any Bethel of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Bethel is a city, a place of refuge. It is a Hebrew word. Therefore, brethren, do not be surprised at anything that you see here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. The former things have passed away and all things are made new. Do not come here with your former way of doing things, which you learned when you were in other churches because it will not fit in this new system of things. Rather, put on the new personality, which was created according to God’s, will in true righteousness and loyalty.
The name of God is Love. The new Jerusalem is Love. And the City of God Love. That means every one must manifest Love. Love alone rules. Christ said, I and the Father are One. Yes, they are One in Love. Love alone remains. There is no room for anger, wrath, bitterness, falsehood, idolatry, or any unfruitful work that belongs to darkness, but to remain in Love. Let every one of us know that the former things, have passed away, and all things have become new.
Remember what happened to the Israelites because of their stubbornness. They sinned against their God by desiring injurious things and practised fornication only to die, twenty three thousands of them in one day. Neither let us put God to test, as some of them put Him to the test, only to perish by the serpents. Neither be murmurers, just as some of them murmured, only to perish by the destroyer. The same thing happened to those who did not obey what Christ taught. They were cursed. You remember how he drove those money changers from the temple. They acted contrary to His Father’s will. But now all these actions have passed away, because you have been transformed into the Kingdom of God and His Christ.

This is a time of joy. There is no more division nor hatred; do not say “This is my own, or we started this or that Bethel, you are a stranger but I am a citizen”. No! All glory belongs to God and He owns everything and does everything by Himself. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Accordingly as God’s chosen ones; clothe yourselves with love, for it is a perfect bond of union. Do not remember the former things again, forget the things behind and stretch forward to the things ahead, which are all made new.

Brethren, let us not go further. Let those who have ears to hear, let them hear. May God bless his Holy Word. A-MEN.

(WHQ) BCS 34 AMBO ST CALABAR NIGERIA

THE NEW ORDER

FIRST LESSON:2 CORINTHIANS 3: 17-18
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

SECOND LESSON: HEBREW 2: 8
Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

GOLDEN TEXT: HEBREW 9: 27-28
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

THE HOLY SPIRIT BROUGHT PEACE AND LOVE

Beloved, this Gospel is a familiar topic. It is about the peace and joy brought to mankind. Wherever the Holy Spirit is, there must be peace, joy, happiness, hope, togetherness and light. Beloved, the Holy Spirit is very unique. He does not like problems, fighting or quarrelling. He is always kind, gentle, peaceful and loving. What the Holy Spirit has brought to mankind is love and joy. This accounts for My familiar slogan; “My peace I give unto you.”

IT IS ONLY PEACE AND JOY THAT I CAME TO GIVE MANKIND. LET THIS PEACE AND LOVE REIGN OVER YOU. Do not fight or quarrel anymore. Do not seek the mundane things of this world. Seek peace and joy. Your position and religious affiliation are secondary. The primary concern of the Holy Spirit is your joy and peace. The will of the Holy Spirit is that you live in peace and harmony with your brethren.

There is an adage, which has that; “the tune of a bird is sweet only when it has not been caught by a bullet.” You are going round making noise and bragging of your wealth forgetting that the end has come. This is not the time that you should be blowing trumpet about your wealth. The fact you tend not to be aware of is that materialism is soon passing for vanity. My appeal to you is to change for good because the judgement day is at hand. Do away with the old leaven, and put on the new ones:, which is love, peace and joy.

WHAT GOD NEEDS

God does not need your money. The only thing He needs from you is love and peace.

It is likely that you do not know that love is the greatest before God. Beloved, the kingdom of God is not eating and merry-making. It is love, peace and joy.

Read the first lesson again.

FIRST LESSON: 2 CORITHIANS 3: 17-18

” Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

When you are endowed with all the material benefit of this world, but lack peace, what shall it benefit you? Beloved, there are two significant things awaiting everybody in this life. One is everlasting life, and the other is everlasting torment. What shall it benefit you if you own the entire world, but at last you see yourself in everlasting hell fire? And what shall it not benefit you if you suffer tribulation, but at last see yourself rejoicing in everlasting life? This is not a case of “Father give me motor car, wife, husband and food, etc.” This is the issue of love and peace. It is about living in peace with one another.

What I have brought to My beloved children is love, peace and joy. That is why I always say; “My peace I give unto you.”

What the Holy Spirit uses in conquering all the battles are love and peace. He does not struggle for anything. Love and peace do not entail struggling. All the things you are doing here; the singing and dancing are not important. What is needed here is only love, peace and joy.

THE INSEPARABLE VARIABLES

Christ had already told us that God is spirit, love and peace. It has been emphasised that those worshipping God should worship Him in spirit and in truth. The fact remains that there was a spirit in existence when Heaven and Earth were made. God cannot be seen in any other perspective besides the fact that He is a spirit. John the divine confirms that God is love. The Holy Spirit at this last dispensation has affirmed that God is peace. These testimonies inform our greetings to one another: “PEACE”, in Brotherhood. Beloved, wherever there is God, there is peace. Whosoever has God has peace. Whosoever has peace has the Kingdom of God.

If the peace of God is not in you, you are bound to suffer, but when you have the peace of God, all your life is love, peace, joy, relaxation and comfort of the mind at every point in time. Beloved, the kingdom of God is peace. Money, car, house, shoes, clothes, wife or husband, etc, are not considered in the kingdom of God. The children of God have no time for them. What the children of God are after is this peace, love, truth and joy and the kingdom of God.

Therefore, if you are not identified with all those things, where is your place in the kingdom of God? You cannot purchase them in the market. Rather, it is within you. Beloved, since we have been waiting for the kingdom of God, which has come down for the children of God, let us now live a peaceful life with one another. LET US BE TRUTHFUL AND TRUST-WORTHY. LET US LIVE A BLAMELESS LIFE BEFORE GOD.

THE NATURE OF GOD

What has eluded man is the realisation of the fact that man is a replica of God, and if God is love and peace, man should equally be an embodiment of love and peace. God is made up of love and peace, and once you recognise Him, you have no problems in life. Once you feel His impact, you are in everlasting joy. God is visible and invisible. Man is a manifestation of God. Therefore, when you say you are not worshipping man, how will you be able to see God? He has come down to dwell with man.

Everything is aware of His presence. The trees, the birds, the leaves, the fishes, the angels, etc, are aware of His presence and they are glorifying Him.

This is the time it has pleased the Father to manifest His glory, and there is nothing anyone can do about it. God is love, peace, hope, joy, truth, meekness and all the virtues. If you are lacking in these qualities, then you are very far from the kingdom of God. Wherever there is God there is righteousness. What you do here sometimes demonstrate your ignorance of the presence of God in our midst.

In His physical form, none of you can stand before God. He is too wonderful therefore you cannot understand Him. What you are talking about here and there, that God is this or that, you are passing comments on what you do not know. None of you have seen Him. God is love. Whosoever has seen God must be loving and peaceful.

Read the second lesson again:

SECOND LESSON HEBREW 2: 8

“Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.”

GOD AND MAN

Everything in heaven and on earth is under the control of man. This saying that you will not worship man is rather surprising. Can a tree provide for your needs? God is in the form of a human being, and as such, human beings are love and peace. Christ said; “Let my peace be unto you”. Therefore, when you say that you are not going to worship man; you are not in this life. Everything around you is from either human or is sustain from man.

If you look at God as being physically significantly different from man, then you have not come to self-realisation. And if you are still naïve in the ways of God, you are far away from the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is peace and love. Beloved, God has no other shape or form. God is physically like man. The other aspect of God is that God is love and peace. If you have not been regarding man, you have made a great mistake.

Therefore, from today that you have begotten this knowledge, live in peace with your brethren and love everybody as yourself. Be calm and patient with everybody, do not speak evil words against somebody. When you cannot do all these things, you are driving away the Holy Spirit in you.

If you have something, give it to your brother, do not be stingy. When you have something, and do not share it with your brother, the spirit of God in you will worry you.

EVERYBODY IS YOUR BROTHER. MOSLEMS AND CHRISTIANS WHO CLAIM TO WORSHIP GOD HAVE NOT ALLOWED PEACE TO REIGN IN THE WORLD. The Moslems are complaining of how Christians are fighting against them. The Christians are complaining the same. How many of them are keeping the injunctions of God? Beloved, what God needs from you is peace. He does not need your money, food, cloth, car, etc. The universal slogan should be, “live and let live”.

Jehovah God with His Christ has come. All those who have been waiting patiently for His coming must continue to abide in peace, love and joy, because the time for the manifestation of His glory is nigh. Let it not take you unaware. The Children of God have no business with the mundane things of this world. Theirs is love, peace and joy.

God is here on earth therefore there is no need for you to go to the moon, sun, sea, valley and mountain, in search of Him. What is left for you is living in peace, love and happiness with all the creations of God. Beloved, peace has come to dwell with man. His impact is being felt throughout the universe. His magnetic field has overshadowed the whole of Calabar. It is the work of God that the Efut and Quas can sit together and eat from the same table. If you survey the history of the existence of these two groups, you will see that they have always been incompatible. By the special grace of God, these groups have come to a consensus to jointly do that, which will bring lasting peace and joy to them. It is wonderful.

OUR MANDATE

A city divided against itself cannot stand. United we stand divided we fall. Hence, you are mandated to go and make the whole world to be one. Sometimes, your prayers are not answered because you are not united in love. While you would be praying for a car, your brother would be praying for just enough food to keep him alive. How can it be possible for your request to be granted when your requests are at variance? Sometimes, your request would contradict another request.

While your brother is praying for long life, you are begging God to kill him. God is a loving God. He cannot rob Peter to pay Paul. God is the God of Justice. Very soon, the Father will open your eyes so that you can see the beautiful essence of loving everybody. The spirit of God can so come into you that you become a changed man. When this happens, you will almost remain silent to everything that happens around you. Let us come together as one. Let us share everything in common, so that we will be able to receive the glory that was destined for us before the foundations of the world were laid. God has nothing to do with division and segregation.

God does not want any of His creations to perish. That was why when Christ fed five thousand people with two fishes and five loaves, He told His disciples to gather the remnants. That happened to show that God cares for His people. There is one God; one Spirit; one Body; one Soul; one Man and one Woman. God has come to unite them into one fold. The Christians do not believe that God has come. They would readily frown at God marrying and having children. To this group, God will only come down from the sky, and if He does not, then He is not God. That is the extent to, which the Christians’ limited understanding of God can take them. When it comes to the ways of God, these people are myopic if not completely blind. What they are looking forward to will never happen.

THE MOSLEMS KNOW

The Moslems are even more sensible, because they are aware of the coming of the Holy Spirit. They believe in Christ even more than the self-acclaimed Christians. The Moslems believe that when God will come, He will marry and have children. They also believe that when God comes He will gather everybody into one fold. Hence, I told you that I have other sheep outside who are not in this sheep fold, I will bring them, when they come, they will hear my voice, and they will become one flock under one shepherd. Go into the vineyard and seek those who are still outside. Beloved, all of us are one in Our Lord Jesus Christ. There is no need for division, fighting and quarrelling among the Children of God. Give peace a chance.

Everything is Brotherhood. The fish, the ants, the birds, the millipedes, the centipedes, the toads, the frogs, the antelopes, the cows, the goats, the cats, the dogs and all other things you can think of are Brotherhood. For this reason, do not kill or harm them. God is going to bring everything together. He has come to unite the world. The sick, the dead; the living; the less-privileged, the down-trodden, the poor, the one-legged; the white, the black, the short, the tall, and any other thing you can think of are of great concern to Our God.

He has them on His mind; and to protect and provide for them is His pre-occupation. At the end, He will make all to be one fold under one shepherd. Brotherhood is not a church. It is the kingdom of God and His Christ established on Earth. The teachings received in Brotherhood are celestial. It has nothing to do with the mundane and carnal teachings of the world. The principles under, which we operate are love, peace and joy.

OUR ASSIGNMENT

Beloved, what Christ had told His disciples is what I am telling you now. You should go and make the entire world to be one by telling everybody to live in peace. Propagate peaceful co-existence by telling them about this great light that is shinning in the world. Teach them morals by showing them the examples. Show them these examples by stopping fornication. Live a righteous life so that they may see the light of God in you. God has come to take those who have been waiting for Him. Continue to live in peace with your brethren. Share everything with your brethren. Do not cause division. Remember that a tree cannot make a forest. You cannot clap one hand.

Africa, America, Europe, Asia, and the entire world, is one. The whites are claiming that they are developed. What is development? Where can development take them? What has development got to do with love, peace and unity? Since they claimed to be developed, have they found peace in their lives? There is nowhere one can find peace except in Brotherhood. Hence, when you say “Peace” to a none baptised Brotherhood, he or she will retort, “peace to your mother”. This happens because he / she has no peace.

Beloved, go and spread this good tidings to all nooks and crannies of the world. Do not say that someone is not a Brotherhood. Everybody is Brotherhood. Call a spade a spade. THERE IS NO OTHER DUTY FOR YOU THAN THIS WORK OF PEACE. FORGET ABOUT THE ISSUE OF BEING A MOSLEM OR CHRISTIAN. FORGET ABOUT THE ISSUE OF BEING BORN-AGAIN AND NOT BEING BORN AGAIN. THE ENTIRE WORLD IS ONE.

THE SAVING FACTOR

The death of Christ has brought peace into the entire world. Therefore, do not manufacture problems for yourself. Forget about the issue of money. Forget about the issue of being top ranking in the society. There is no peace in these things. You may be endowed with all the mundane things of this world, but if you have no peace, it profits you nothing. Sell all your belongings and follow God.

Read the Golden Text again:

GOLDEN TEXT: HEBREW 9: 27 –28

“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”

HIS SECOND COMING

Beloved, we have been told that, Christ has died and resurrected. He will come again; and when He comes He will not die again, rather, He will come and take unto Himself those who are practising His injunctions. He is not coming to die again. He is not coming to have any connection with the sinful people. He is coming to take unto Himself those who are living in peace, love and joy with one another. He is already here on earth. Hence, you are told to, “Be prepared, for the day of the Lord cometh like a thief in the night”. Beloved, you are not supposed to wait for somebody to come and tell you to get prepared. For you are all aware of the presence of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit has come to unite His chosen children who have been waiting patiently for Him. He did not deceive, and will never deceive. THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME TO SAVE THE ENTIRE WORLD. THEREFORE, IF YOU PERISH, YOUR BLOOD WILL BE UPON YOU. I have explained everything to you. Everybody is aware of this truth. The Moslems, the Christians, Rosicrucians, Eckists and others are aware of the presence of the Holy Spirit personified. All the principalities are under His rulership. This is the right time foreverybody to forsake the world and follow Christ.

There is no gain in saying; “I am a Moslem or I am a Christian”. There is no gain in saying; “I am a juju priest, for this reason I am not a Brotherhood”. Everybody is Brotherhood. The Moslems have started coming here in great numbers. Some of them are finding one way or the other to spread this good tiding to the entire Moslem world. That is why when you go to the Everlasting Gospel Centre, you will see some of them trying to translate the Father’s Gospel into Arabic, Fulani and Hausa languages.

It is a thing of joy to all the inhabitants of the world. He has come, and has already started selecting His elects. Therefore, it is not a thing of; “I belong to this or that church”. He has come to unite every creation of God. Do away with all evil tendencies. Beloved, since we have been waiting to see His glory, we have to be perfect in all ramifications. That is the message I have for you.

I shall not be tedious with you. A stroke of cane is enough for the wise, let those who have ears, hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the entire world. May the Lord bless His Holy Teachings. Amen.

Thank You Good Father.
