CHRIST WAS NOT BORN ON CHRISTMAS DAY

SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 17: 5.
"And now O Father, glorify me with thine own self, with the
glory which I had with thee before the world was."
GOLDEN TEXT: HEBREWS:7:3
WITHOUT FATHER, WITHOUT MOTHER, WITHOUT DESCENT,
HAVING NEITHER BEGINNING OF DAYS, NOR END OF LIFE;
BUT MADE LIKE UNTO THE SON OF GOD, ABIDETH A
PRIEST CONTINUALLY.
Brethren, this is what we want to reveal to you this morning.
Very many people always compare somebody who is a child
of God with one who belongs to man. At times, they try to
mention the date or the period our Lord Jesus Christ was
born. But I do not want to mention the, date of His birth. I do
not even want to discuss the genealogy of our Lord Jesus
Christ since nobody can tell even the date of His birth.
IT WOULD BE BETTER THAT WE STOPPED PUBLISHING
WRONG INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC, ESPECIALLY, ON
WHAT YOU DO NOT KNOW OR YOU MAY NOT BE CAPABLE

OF EXPLAINING. WE SHOULD ALWAYS DO ONLY THAT
WHICH WE HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED TO DO.
More so, I am telling you that you must not say anything
against the Son of God. It is not good that you should try to
understand or search into the genealogy or birth of our Lord
Jesus Christ. The sad thing about the whole story is that the
entire population of the world does not know or understand
the "person" of our Lord Jesus Christ. Have you heard of, or
understood what He meant by the Saying - "Before Abraham
was, I AM'. That is the statement I want to explain to you. It
is not a statement which is established logically, but it is
directly from the horse's mouth. As soon as He said unto the
Jews, "Before Abraham was, I am," they became indignant
saying, "Look at this man; He is not yet 50 years old; how is
it possible that He should claim to be older than Abraham?"
Our Lord Jesus Christ replied them, "Even your father,
Abraham, himself, longed to see my own days." I am
explaining this to you: now, that you want to understand or
search the history of Christ, for you always finalize your
investigation that He was older than Abraham.
NOBODY KNOWS THE GENEALOGY OF CHRIST
Very many people also say that our Lord Jesus Christ was
the son of Abraham. But how can this fact be proved, now
that He is stating, "Before Abraham was, I am." some other
schools of thought will argue that the Lord Jesus Christ was
the son of David. Count me out, brethren, if that is what you
profess publicly. If that is your argument, how then did David

in spirit call Him Lord, saying, "The LORD said unto my Lord,
'sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy
footstool?" If David then called Him Lord, is He his son? Who
was the ‘Lord,’ whom David referred to? It was our Lord
Jesus Christ. When the Jews said that Christ was the son of
David, He reproved it, saying that David was even anxious to
witness him. Therefore brethren let us refrain from tracing
the genealogy of the Lord of lords.
What troubles the whole world or human race is that they do
not realize that we are in the era or the Holy Spirit. He has
come to reveal many things to mankind in conformity with
what was foretold about Him in the scriptures. 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
whatever He shall hear, that shall He speak and He will
show you things to come."
CHRIST EXISTED BEFORE THE WORLD WAS
Christ Jesus has already existed before the foundation the
world was laid, and that was why God made this statement:
"Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." If the
Son was not with the Father, how could that statement then
be made? How could such a statement come out of the
Father? The matter concerning Christ must be taken very
seriously. Now that you continue to shout "Jesus, Jesus!"
He is the Son of Man, Son of God and He is God Himself. He
is without beginning of days, nor end of life. He has no Birth

Certificate. If you are one of those who had been
investigating the genealogy of Christ, STOP FORTHWITH
because He has none. As already said, Christ has existed
before the world was. He is the Son of God, God is His
Father. All angels were subjected under His rule. It is not
that day as the Father said, "Today have I begotten Thee,"
that He came into existence; for If you examine the
statement of Our Lord Jesus Christ, "I have glorified Thee on
earth, I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do.
And now, Oh Father, glorify Thou Me with thine own self,
with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was."
That statement, when looked into, reveals that His glory had
earlier been with the Father before the world was. This
statement when looked into reveals that His glory had
earlier been with the Father before the world was founded.
THE PROBLEM OF THE ENTIRE WORLD IS THAT THEY DO
KNOW NEITHER THE FATHER NOR THE SON:
This means that since the father cannot die, the son also
cannot die either. As God lives for eternity, his Son also lives
eternally. We cannot declare to the world that Our Lord
Jesus Christ died and that he is under the earth or He is in
the sky. Such sayings if declared would make man to
become down hearted, and man would lose his implicit faith
in Christ. In as much as he lives forever, He is the Head of
all of God's creation, including the spirits and men. He is a
human being as well as the spirit. He exists in all creations.
Christ, the king and ruler of everything created, visible and

invisible, exists in all places in heaven and on earth. Death,
sickness, poverty has no power over him. There is nothing
created that can change Him. THEREFORE ALL THOSE WHO
WANT TO GO TO GOD MUST PASS THROUGH HIM. There is
nothing created that can change Him. Why is it that all those
who want to go to God must pass through Him? This is so
because there is no other way except by Him. It is a
misnomer to say, "Since our Lord Jesus Christ came." Where
did He go, and at what time did he not exist? Before the
creation of the world was our Lord Jesus Christ existed, but
people did not know him. He was moving about in all the
places doing his work and yet He was not known. During the
days of Lot and Enoch, He was there. At the time of Adam,
He was in existence. Therefore you should not speak any
abominable word against Our Lord Jesus Christ. It is from
Him that everything emanates. Christ and the Father are
one. When you see the Father , you see the son, for they are
one. When you see the Son, you will see the Father. In as
much as you do not know the Son, how will you see the
Father? Since you do not know the Father how then would
you know the Son?(JOHN 14:6-11) This is the only problem
that faces the whole world.
AS PEOPLE LOOK FOR THEIR OWN GLORY AND SET ASIDE
THE GLORY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THEREFORE
THEY CANNOT GET THE GLORY THEY LOOK FOR. IT IS
INCUMBENT UPON EVERY PERSON TO KNOW HIM, AND SEE
HIM BECAUSE THIS IS THE END OF TIME. EVERY PERSON
OUGHT TO BELIEVE IN HIM, THAT HE IS IN EXISTENCE,

YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE WHETHER YOU SEE HIM OR NOT.
Whether He reveals Himself to you or not, it does not mean
that He reveals Himself to everybody. You remember when
Christ revealed Himself to eleven of His disciples and the
eleven told Thomas that the Lord had appeared to them. He
refused to believe. For you to know the kind of person Our
Lord Jesus Christ is, when the disciples were arguing over
this issue, He was there physically and spiritually among
them but they did not see Him. On the 8th day, He appeared
to Thomas, who said, "Until I put my finger inside the nail
prints and thrust my hands in his wounded side before I
would believe it.” When He appeared to Thomas, He told
Thomas to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my
hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side:
and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered
and said unto him, My Lord and my God; Jesus saith unto
him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast
believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have
believed.
CHRIST LIVES EVERYWHERE AND HE IS THE HEAD OF
EVERYTHING
Brethren it is surprising that when they were discussing
among themselves, Christ was not there in the flesh, but he
was in their midst because He is omnipresent. It is
incumbent upon every person to think of this type of a being
who exists everywhere: in the water, in the air, an in every
other place. It is vanity for dust as we are, to search any

thing concerning Our Lord Jesus Christ, because He knows
all our minds. People joke with the name of Our Lord Jesus
Christ, calling Him "Jesus, Jesus!" Why? It is because they
do not know Him and they cannot say Who He is. He is the
Son of God, King of kings, Lord of Lords who existed, and
still exists, before the foundations of the world was laid. HE
IS THE LIVING GOD. DO NO MAKE ANY MISTAKE OF SAYING
HE IS A SPIRIT ONLY FOR HE IS OF BOTH NATURES, HE IS
SPIRIT AND HE IS MAN. Do not make the mistake of saying
he is only a man, for he is both a man and a woman, a girl, a
lady, and He is all in all. That is the mistake people make.
Christ is the all in all. He is both the beginning and the end.
He is the Son of God and God Himself. He is an angel, a
spirit. He is everything. Every creation of God comes from
Him and all living things such as animals, fishes in the
waters are all from him. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the
beginning and the end and. He is the Son of God and God
Himself. Why is it that you do not believe in Him?
HE IS THE LIVING GOD AND ALTHOUGH ALL MANKIND
WILL PASS AWAY, HE ALONE LIVES FOREVER AND EVER.
HE WILL NEVER TASTE OF DEATH, HENCE HE SAID,
"VERILY, VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, IF A MAN KEEP MY
SAYINGS, HE SHALL NEVER SEE DEATH." HE SAID THAT HE
IS HE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. HE IS THE
RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE.
Brethren do you now realize the problem of the entire world?
We must believe him that He is omnipresent. He is in your

heart, your lungs, eyes, legs, house, and in your children. He
is in front and behind you. All your problems and
confrontations are openly before Him. He is the only being
who can solve them for you. Therefore brethren, do not say
in your heart, "I want to see Him face to face." If He wants
to reveal Himself to you, He will do it. Right now at this
moment that you are here, he can reveal himself to you both
physically and spiritually. He can appear to you while you
fall into a trance and you can see him sitting with you.
Should you not believe him, do you just do not doubt his
existence? All that is done in the world is of His own
making. Hence He says you should call upon His name when
you are in tribulation and difficulties and He will answer you.
Should you not believe in him, do not doubt his existence, at
any time, call upon Him and He will answer you. He gave
this piece of advice to us when He said, "Blessed is the man
who does see and yet believes." Why do you want to tempt
God, investigating to know the genealogy of Christ? Has the
scripture not told you, "For he said to Moses, I will have
mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have
compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is
not of him that willeth, no of him that runneth, but of God
that sheweth mercy."
Brethren, it does not cost you anything to believe that our
Lord Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and Lord of Lord, HE
EXISTS ETERNALLY. Therefore, if you have this kind of faith
and confidence in Him, whatever is your situation in life, call
upon his name, since He sees everything, forget for your

problems for he will resolve all your problems for you and He
will also do everything for you, IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST, AMEN.
Remember how He told His disciples, "Henceforth I call you
not servants, for the servants knoweth not what his lord
doeth; But I have called you friends; for all things that I have
heard of my Father had I made known unto you. Ye have not
chosen me but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye
should go forth and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit
should remain; that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in
my name, he may give it to you."
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE LIFE AND THE
RESURRECTION. BELIEVE THIS STATEMENT FROM NOW ON
THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS OMNIPOTENT,
OMNISCIENT, AND OMNIPRESENT. Sometimes you intend to
go on a journey and you place it before him, seeking His own
companionship. You will end that prayer when you will hear
somebody knocking at your door. The person would ask if
you would accompany him or her to where he or she was
going. At times you intend to go to Port Harcourt, and
believe you me, and that person will tell you he or she is
going to Port Harcourt. You will wonder what a wonderful
God who sends in somebody to take you along to where you
desired to go. Our Lord Jesus Christ is that stranger who
offers you such a favor. He knows your problems and he
takes care of them all. Probably, you were traveling by sea
and a storm arose, the storm was such that you almost lost

your dear life, if you call on the name of Our Lord Jesus
Christ, you will immediately find someone coming towards
your direction to rescue you. Who do you think comes in that
canoe to rescue you? It is Our Lord Jesus Christ. You may
get lost in a thick forest, but by a mere knocking your
forehead down and asking God for divine guidance to get
back to your destination, you will see a hunter who will
direct you out of the thick forest. Who is that hunter? It is
Our Lord Jesus Christ. THIS MORNING I MAKE YOU REALIZE
THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST DOES NOT ONLY EXIST
PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY BUT HE ALSO EXIST IN ALL
CREATIONS, THOUGH HUMAN BEINGS CANNOT IDENTIFY
HIM.
CHRIST IS THE LIVING GOD, A HUMAN BEING AS WELL AS A
SPIRIT.
Brethren, if you like, fast and pray for a whole month so that
you may see Our Lord Jesus Christ, but I assure you that you
will not see Him until it pleases Him to reveal Himself to
you. Do you remember the two disciples who after Christ
had resurrected, joined him to discuss His death, as they
traveled on the way to Emmaus. He even asked them what
the news was about. The two retorted, " Are you the only
sojourner in this Jerusalem, and that you do not hear what
happens in the town? How one Jesus whom people said was
a prophet, in whom we had all our hope, was killed, now we
hear that He had risen." With whom were they conversing? It
was Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself. He went on to preach to

them. The disciples were annoyed with Him, and they were
wondering what was wrong with Him, if He was not aware of
the sad news in the town. At a point He was about to depart
from them, they begged Him to stay with them. Since He
wanted to reveal Himself to them, He broke bread and gave
thanks to God and their eyes opened instantaneously and
they saw Him face to face. At that juncture, He disappeared.
All our thoughts and ideas about Him are baseless. You say
that the Christ is the Son of Joseph and Mary, Elizabeth,
Abraham, David, Enoch, but it is advisable that you say
nothing that you do not know, for our Lord Jesus Christ is
the Son of God. All that we have to do is to have implicit
faith in Him and not say, "Until he heals me my infirmities,
does this or that for me," before you will accept Him. ONLY
BELIEVE IN HIM FOR HE IS THE LIVING GOD. WHETHER
YOU HAVE PRACTICED THE WORD OF GOD OR NOT JUST
HAVE CONFIDENCE IN HIM, THAT HE IS THE SON OF GOD,
THE KING OF KINGS, THE LORD OF LORDS, AND THAT HE IS
THE LIVING GOD WHO WILL NEVER TASTE OF DEATH.
THEREFORE YOUR OWN DUTY IS TO PRAISE AND GLORIFY
HIS NAME. Whatever your request was, call on Him and test
and see whether He will not answer you. If it is His
intention, He can come out of the sky as people are looking
for him in the sky. He can appear on earth at the same time.
He can come out of the depth of the water or He can appear
in any form. He is the God who when He sends you on an
errand, goes before and behind you. VERY MANY PEOPLE
ARE OF THE OPINION THAT WHEN THEY PRAY, THEY

SHOULD LOOK AT THE SUN THE MOON, THE EAST, THE
NORTH, THE WEST, AND THE SOUTH. THAT IS MERE
FOOLISHNESS. WHO OWNS THE NORTH, THE SOUTH, THE
EAST AND THE WEST? WHO IS HE THAT OWNS THE ENTIRE
EARTH? GOD IS EVERYWHERE.
People say when you want to pray, that you have to go
inside your room and pray. If you go inside one of your rooms
to pray, what about the other rooms in your house? What
about the environments that surround your house, who
occupies there? Is it not this very omnipresent God? Many
people pray and say, "Until Jesus comes back again," and I
am asking," WHERE DID OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST GO?" IF
HE IS NOT OMNIPRESENT, NOBODY WOULD SURVIVE THIS
WICKED WORLD.
Can you imagine somebody hiding somewhere to kill you but
Christ who is everywhere obstructs Him because He keeps
watch over you and He does everything to protect you.
WHEN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS IN INDIA AND HE
PREACH TO THEM ABOUT EQUALITY, THEY WANTED TO
KILL HIM. HE ESCAPED FROM THE HANDS OF THE
PLOTTERS AND DEPARTED FROM THEIR MIDST. He
liberates all his children all over the universe. Do not give
glory to churches, government or individuals, but give glory
and honor to God only, to him alone be all glory, honor and
dominion, because He alone does every thing. When you are
in a difficult situation and you realize that every one has run
away from you, and you happen to see a stranger who came

to your aid, and he comforts you, who do you think was the
stranger? That was our Lord Jesus Christ who helped you.
Sometimes you think you have got no relations, no brother,
nor sister, to take care of you. Who tells you that you are
alone? Have you forgotten the promise of Christ that he will
not leave you comfortless as orphans are, and that He will
He will come back to you? There is none without the
testimony about the protection, which Our Lord Jesus Christ
has given him or her. Your major problem is that you do not
have implicit faith in Christ. Since our Lord Jesus Christ did
not come out physically to say," I gave you money on such
and such a day or I did this for you on such and such a day,"
you do not believe in Him. But God will never do that. He
always is and continues to be God.
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 8: 57-58
MOST OF YOU HAVE BEEN CALLING GOD AS GOD OF
ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND OF JACOB, BUT WHO IS THE GOD
OF THESE PERSONALITIES? HE IS OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST. SOME SAY THAT CHRIST IS IN HEAVEN. HOW CAN
SOMEONE WITH SO LARGE A MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE
WHOM HE DIED FOR, LEAVE THEM TO GO AND STAY IN
HEAVEN? ALL THE BENEVOLENCE, GOOD HEALTH, AND ALL
THE ABUNDANCE WE ENJOY DAILY COME FORM WHOM?
THIS IS THE TIME THAT EVERY PERSON MUST REALIZE

THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE RULER OF HEAVEN
AND EARTH. HE EXISTED BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF
THE WORLD AND HE IS THE SUPPLIER OF EVERY GOOD
THING OF LIFE. HE IS DWELLING WITHIN YOU, WALKING
ALONG WITH YOU ON THE ROAD, LYING DOWN WITH YOU
IN BED, DRIVING IN THE CAR ALONG WITH YOU, ANY
MOMENT IN TIME, HE IS THERE WITH YOU, WHEREVER YOU
ARE.
GOD'S WISDOM CONFOUNDS THAT OF HUMANITY
NEVER MIND WHETHER YOU GO TO CHURCH OR NOT, HE IS
WITH YOU ALWAYS. He does His work whether you believe
in Him or not, he is always there to do save and to do
everything for you equally, as he does for those who go to
church. During the time of the Israelites, when Christ saved
them, they wanted to see Him face to face. Any time that
Moses told them what God did, they would reply, "Why does
God not come to see us in person?" May I know if the time
God Almighty personified Himself in Our Lord Jesus Christ, it
was known to the any of the Israelites? What was the
reason that Our Lord Jesus was killed? He said, "I and my
father are one." This statement annoyed the Jews and they
wanted to stone Him and said, "For the good work we stone
thee not, but for blasphemy, and because that thou being
man, makest thyself God." Our Lord Jesus Christ answered
them saying, "IS IT NOT WRITTEN IN YOUR LAW, I SAID YE
ARE GODS?" Christ told them that if they do not believe in
Him that they should believe the work He did. Brethren, let

us not look for Our Lord Jesus Christ in the flesh alone for
He is in the spirit and in all creations of God. Why did the
Jews not believe in Him? If it were that Our Lord Jesus was
born of Herod's kin or of any millionaire's house, they would
have believed Him. Do you not see how the wisdom of God
surpasses all? God made it possible the FIRST BEGOTTEN
SON, the Son of God be born of an unidentified house.
So it is with God. THE MORE YOU LOOK, THE LESS YOU
SEE. He knows our mind and our thoughts; He is all in all for
us. That is the reason His wisdom confounds that of man.
Hence if you seek Christ, He will ask you to look for Him in
the Moon, but when you arrive there, you will be
disappointed. You will not see Him. When I mention spirit, I
do not refer to visions and dreams. IF YOU LIVE A
RIGHTEOUS LIFE, AND YOU REFRAIN FROM ALL VICES, YOU
ARE IN SPIRIT AND THAT IS WHEN YOU WILL SEE HIM. HE
IS THE HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS SON OF GOD AND SO ANY
THING DEFILED CANNOT GO NEAR HIM. IF YOU WANT TO
SEE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IN YOUR HOUSE, OFFICE,
FAMILY, CHURCH, FARM, ROOM, YOU MUST ABIDE BY HIS
DOCTRINE OF "LOVE ONE ANOTHER." He made this
proclamation, "Any person who does my will and keeps my
commandment, it is the one that loves me; my father I will
love Him and we will come and make our abode in him. I will
MANIFEST MYSELF TO HIM."(John 14:21). If you want to be
identified with our Lord Jesus Christ, or to know that He is
in you, in heaven above and everywhere, you have to know
His commandment and abide by it. He will manifest Himself

to you. His Law is "That ye Love one another as I have loved
you."
THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST THAT IS IN US IS ANXIOUS ABOUT
US AND OUR SINS.
Love does no evil to his neighbor; love is the fulfillment of
the law. If you love somebody, you will not steal the person's
property, neither will you speak blasphemous words about
your loved ones. You will not impute sins on your loved ones
and you will always be benevolent and generous to your
loved one. Christ abides in love, truth peace, humility,
tolerance, meekness, self-control, temperance, and
endurance. Christ is the embodiment of all godly virtues. Do
not tell anybody to go to the Moon, Lagos, Ibadan, in order to
see Our Lord Jesus Christ. He is omnipresent. Our Lord
Jesus was hung on the Cross, what you saw on the cross
was in essence SINS. He was not killed.
Heavenly things are use to illustrate earthly things. What is
called flesh is all the vices in this world. That is why you are
told not to look for Him in the flesh, for if you were a
fornicator, a liar, a thief, a native doctor, a smoker, an
alcoholic, or if you indulge in any kind sin, then you are in
the flesh, and you can never see Him. How do you look for
God in spirit? It is only when you refrain from all vices. That
is when you are in spirit and you can see Our Lord Jesus
Christ. The scripture tells us, "Follow peace with all men,
and holiness without which none can see the Lord." At the
moment you move with Our Lord Jesus Christ wherever you

go, but you cannot see Him because of the sin nature that
dwells in you. Therefore brethren, do not say in your hearts,
"Until Our Lord Jesus Christ come back." This is because
Christ is omnipresent. He is closer to you than your tongue
is to your teeth. He is within you but now is your heart pure?
It is said that our heart is the temple of Christ, "Know ye not
that ye are the temple of God, and the spirit of God dwelleth
in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God
destroy, for temple of God is holy, which temple ye are."
He redeemed us by His precious blood. A great many of us
claim that their stars are extinguished, and that witchcraft
had tampered with them. May I ask, What do you mean by
Star? CHRIST IS YOUR STAR THAT SHINES, BUT WHEN YOU
COMMIT SIN, THE SIN COVERS THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE
STAR. You claim that when you were young, your star was
bright, yes, that was the time when you did not indulge in
sin. Now that you are knee deep in sins, Christ hides from
you and your star disappears. BE NOT CALLED A KING OR A
CHIEF OR CHRIST IS THE ONLY KING AND CHIEF. WE DO
NOT HAVE TWO KINGS, ONE IN HEAVEN AND THE OTHER
ONE ON EARTH. WHAT IS GREATER THAN ALL THE
CREATIONS OF GOD IS FOUND IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
ALONE, AND THAT IS THE REASON HE IS THE ONLY KING
AND LORD OF THE UNIVERSE.
All Our confidence and faith are in money, government and
mundane things of this world but if we were to have one
tenth of such faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ, the entire world

would have been in perfect peace. Right from this moment
that you have heard this gospel, do not boast again about
your academic qualifications, or your worldly position, but
let all your boasting and glory be in Our Lord Jesus Christ
alone. The Spirit of Christ that is in us is very envious about
us and our sin. Every time Our Lord Jesus Christ teaches us
love and when he teaches us to do a particular thing, He
urges us always to do that which is good. Whenever we
intend to sin, Christ pulls us away from and sin, and he
pushes us into a righteous path. At times we may claim our
enemies have blocked us on our way.
All the mundane things that we request of Our Lord Jesus
Christ, if He had answered even one-tenth of one request, by
now the world would have been in a terrible confusion.
There is none that request of Him righteousness and
holiness. Our entire request center on being made
millionaires, we desire to have strings of magnificent
buildings, and other mundane things. Now imagine if all
these things are given to you, what would be the outcome?
He is not worried in any way whether we recognize His Deity
or not. He is the King of kings and the Lord of Lords; every
thing is in His hands. You are not the one who bestowed on
him the glory and neither am I the one. He was born with it
and all these things for Himself. John the Baptist bore
witness of Our Lord Jesus Christ, when he said, He baptizes
with water but that the one following behind him, is so great
that he could not unloose the latchet of His shoes: "John
answered saying unto them, all, I indeed baptize you unto

repentance, but that cometh after me, whose shoelace I am
not worthy to unloose, he shall baptize you with the Holy
Ghost and with fire."
MAN REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE THE DEITY OF OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST.
What is the position now? Very many people claimed that
the Holy Spirit vanished on the day of Pentecost. Others
claimed that they do not have any affiliations with any
spiritual Churches, and that they go to the real church of
God. Now if you profess to belong to the real church of God,
are you saved? Christ bore witness, "GOD IS A SPIRIT AND
THOSE WHO WORSHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT
AND IN TRUTH." Does that statement of Christ not reveal to
you that God is a spirit? Christ is a Spirit hence, He said, "I
and my Father are one." God sends him out and He speaks
the word of God. God does not give Him the Spirit by
measure.
Brethren, look around the whole world, has the Spirit not
come? Who else can give you the Holy Spirit except Our
Lord Jesus Christ? At the moment the Holy Spirit is
Omnipresent. Do you wait for the day the Holy Spirit
personifies He will tell you I am before you, or He will tell
you to abstain from sin and practice righteousness. Let us
not behave like the people of ancient times, because ever
since God created the world, people do not abide by the
ordinances of God. People rather glory in vices. And because
of this, from time to time, God had to destroyed the world

and the people God created in the world. And irrespective of
the man's position in life, if he disobeys the ordinances of
God, he is an idol in the eye of the Almighty God.
You might desire to initiate into secret or esoteric societies
and practice occultism, what is it that these societies would
do for you? You may consult native doctors, soothsayers,
necromancers, medical doctors, what will they do for you?
Look at the end of your life if you look for life, why not
acknowledge Him so that you might have life? He heals us of
our infirmities. WE ARE CLEANSED BECAUSE OF HIS WORD,
AND OUR EYES ARE OPENED BECAUSE OF HIM. Let the
second Lesson be read.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 17:5
"And now O Father, glorify me with thine own self, with the
glory which I had with thee before the world was."
Brethren, have you heard that text? You said that Christ was
born on a specific period of time, for do you not take care of
yourself? There is no person who knows the date on which
Our Lord Jesus Christ was born, nor his life history, not even
his genealogy. WHOEVER MAKES SUCH ATTEMPTS, ONLY
GIVES FALSE INFORMATION TO THE WORLD. SO THE
PEOPLE OF THE PAST GENERATIONS WERE DECEIVED.
Instead of practicing the teachings of Christ, they admitted
that they knew His Father and that His father was Joseph
and as such, He was not to be paid any attention. "And many
of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?

Others said, "These are not the words of Him that hath a
devil. Can the devil open the eyes of the blind?"
Since He is the Son of Man, the Son of God and God Himself,
He had no problems with His antagonists. He assured them
that He is the Son of God and that He came from God. All
those who are the Children of God from the lineage of God
have no beginnings and they have no end, and they have no
death in them. As you are trying to struggle over positions or
what God should give you, it is a waste of time, because God
had created everything, and fixed them in their proper
positions. All those born of Spirit are spirit and all those born
of the flesh are flesh. LET US BEWARE FOR THE TIME IS SO
BAD, IT IS NOT THE TIME FOR ONE TO STRUGGLE OVER
POSITIONS OR LOOK FOR SELF- GLORIFICATION AND
PERSONAL HONOR. IT RATHER THE TIME FOR US TO LOOK
FOR THE GLORY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BECAUSE HE
ALONE HAS COME TO RULE.
Christ's revealing of Himself does not mean that He had not
been living. For instance, one can stay or in certain place,
say in this Hall, if such a person does not tell people, none
can know. So it is with Our Lord Jesus Christ; HE IS IN THE
WORLD, BUT THIS WORLD DOES NOT KNOW HIM. All the
creations of God know Our Lord Jesus Christ and they all
recognize His deity. The only exception is the human race,
yes, the human beings.
CHRIST HIDES HIS IDENTITY IN DIVERSE FORMS:

When Our Lord Jesus Christ is in heaven among the angels,
He is SPIRIT; When he is among the fishes, He becomes
water; When he is in the midst of people, He in to a human
being; When He is in Hell among the Sinners, He is fire. Many
contend that Christ is not found in Hell. WHO IS THAT
ETERNAL FIRE THAT BURNS THE SINNERS? IS IT NOT OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST? Brethren, it is difficult to identify Our
Lord Jesus Christ because when He is with the animals, He
becomes an animal, while in the midst of the women folk, as
Christ might have been claimed to be a man, he becomes a
woman. Christ occupies space. He is omnipresent, why do
you have unstable hearts? Why do you put your confidence
in man, concoction, spirit or angel, money, and other things
whatsoever? He is the king of kings, the king of Good
people, of wicked people, of water, of fishes, and of created
and uncreated things.
Some say that they are waiting for the day Christ will reveal
Himself; do you know the meaning of the statement?
Remember that a thousand years is to God is a day, and one
day is thousand years unto the Lord. It is said the Lord
Jesus Christ is not slack in His promises, but He has long
patience, since He does not want any of us to perish. Those
of you who look into the sky, do you know what is coming
out of the sky? Do you know the nature He is coming back
in, out of the sky? Remember Sodom and Gomorrah, and
what happened there, and remember what I am telling you
now that it is exactly what will happen. Know that God is a
consuming fire. He had been showing you many signs and

typical of them is the fire that caught the Market places like
Uyo, Aba, Lagos, even here at Calabar, and very many other
places. These are ensamples. A lot of investigation
conducted about the outbreaks of these fires revealed
nothing tangible. What is responsible for the present
situation of things in the entire world, or rather who is
responsible? Can you scientist, occultist, projectionist, and
wise people of this world tell the whole world what is
happening? On the day when God will manifest Himself as
fire to the whole world, who are you, Oh man, and of what
nature are you to stand the mere sight of Him? He was the
first flood heard of in the days of Noah, that fire during the
time of Lot, in Sodom and Gomorrah. Be reminded that God
will never destroy the world with water anymore. At the
moment, everything in the entire world is consumed by fire.
To this effect, do not look for God in the sky, or anywhere
else. God is omnipresent. Suppose you were not informed
that Christ is a consuming fire, the wind that blows, the
water you drink, and bath with, would you have known?
THE MYSTERY OF MAN IN RELATION TO THE TRINITY GOD.
WHAT WAS THE SIGN THAT REVEALED CHRIST AS THE SON
OF GOD? AS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED ON
THE CROSS, A SOLDIER PIERCED HIS SIDE WITH A SWORD
AND THERE CAME DOWN BLOOD AND WATER, AND THUS
CHRIST WAS REVEALED AS THE SON OF MAN. WHEN HE
SHOUTED TO HIS FATHER, SAYING, "INTO THY HAND I
COMMEND MY SPIRIT" AT THAT POINT THE SPIRIT, WHICH

IS GOD, WENT OUT OF HIM. THERE YOU ARE. WHO COULD
SAY CATEGORICALLY THAT CHRIST WAS NAILED TO THE
CROSS? FROM THE STATEMENT HE MADE, YOU CAN
REALIZE THAT IT IS ONLY THE EARTHLY HOUSE OF SAND
WHICH WAS NAILED ON THE CROSS.
WHEN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS IN THE WORLD,
THREE THINGS BORE WITNESS OF HIM: THE WATER AND
THE BLOOD AND THE SPIRIT. THAT IS WHY IF THERE IS NO
MORE WATER IN YOU, (THAT IS IF YOU BECOME
DEHYDRATED) YOU WILL DIE. ALSO, IF YOU RUN SHORT OF
BLOOD, (IF YOU BECOME ANEMIC), THAT CONDITION IS
DEATH. EQUALLY, IF THE SPIRIT IS OUT OF YOU, THERE
COMES THE END OF YOUR LIFE. HENCE OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST IS CALLED: THE SON OF MAN, THE SON OF GOD
AND GOD HIMSELF. WHO IS THE SON OF MAN? IS IT NOT
THE BLOOD? WHO IS THE SON OF GOD, IS IT NOT THE
WATER? WHO IS GOD, IS GOD NOT THE SPIRIT?
Today, you all look at a fellow human being, you beat and
point accusing finger at your neighbor, but you forget that
the whole world is one. We are foolish; we bear grudges
against each other. Do you know that Christ is a human
being? Why do you not begrudge an animal in the bush, but
Christ? Have you seen the present state of man, he says, "I
do not worship man, but I worship the true God." If you do
not love your brethren whom you see with your naked eyes,
how can you love God whom you cannot see?

It is said that God has no Son, what about all of you, are you
not the children of God? EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD IS A
CHILD OF GOD AND THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD WHO IS
DWELLING IN ALL OF YOU. BRETHREN DO YOU REALIZE
THE BLINDNESS THAT YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM? YOUR
BODY AND YOUR ENTIRE SELF IS GOD. HAVE YOU NOT
SEEN THE LIKENESS OF CHRIST IN YOU, THE LIKENESS OF
GOD? IT IS SAID THAT YOUR OWN HEART IS THE
TABERNACLE OF GOD AND THAT GOD DWELLS INSIDE YOU.
THAT IS WHY YOU ARE ADVISED NOT TO DEFILE THE
TEMPLE OF GOD THAT IS WITHIN YOU. DO YOU BELIEVE
THAT WHATEVER YOU DO TO MAN, YOU ARE DOING IT TO
GOD? HAVE YOU NOT KNOWN THAT ALL THE HUMAN RACE
HAS ONE GOD AS THE FATHER. IT IS TO THIS EFFECT THAT
CHRIST ADVISED US TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER EVEN AS HE
HAS LOVED US. HENCE WE ARE ALL BRETHREN.
Can you tell where blood comes from and where it goes
back to? If you are operated upon right now, the water, the
blood, the spirit will fill two basins each. But do you know
where the water and the Spirit come from and where they
return? THE WATER, THE BLOOD AND THE SPIRIT ALL
COME FROM THE TRINITY GOD AND THEY ALL RETURN TO
THE TRINITY GOD. Why do you keep enmity with the
children of God? Why do you vow to retaliate your wife, even
to the point of making her go naked? You say, "That my
brother and the child I never forgive them." Did Christ not
teach you that we are the children of God, and that Christ is
the first-born Son, the king of kings and Lord of Lords. He

takes dominion over everything in the world. Do you not see
that since God created us in His own image and likeness,
and since God does not die, none of us will die? Let the
Golden Text be read.
GOLDEN TEXT: HEBREWS 7:3
WITHOUT FATHER, WITHOUT MOTHER, WITHOUT DESCENT,
HAVING NEITHER BEGINNING OF DAYS, NOR END OF LIFE;
BUT MADE LIKE UNTO THE SON OF GOD, ABIDETH A
PRIEST CONTINUALLY.
Brethren, have you seen that? It is a mistaken belief to say
that a child was born five years ago, or that a child is born
today. Can you trace his genealogy? During the time of
Christ, the mother of two children of Zeebede came to Our
Lord Jesus Christ and their mother requested Christ to
enable her two sons to sit, one on his left hand and the other
on his right hand. Christ replied, "Can they drink of my cup
and can they receive of the baptism that I receive and can
they replied "yes" Christ added, that to sit on the right and
left hand of God is not his to give but to those the Father had
ordained before the foundation of the world was laid. A
spiritual song says, " We of old have come back." How do
you go about saying that someone is so and so years old,
forty years old? It is worth keeping silent because as God
has no limitation of age, the children of God have none
either. Our main assignment is to: LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND
BE ABLE TO LOVE CHRIST. Anybody who professes to love

the true God but hates his brethren is a liar. We are integral
part of God.
WE ARE ALL BRETHREN AND GOD IS OUR FATHER.
You claim to fear nobody, except Christ, are you not a false
prophet? What does the word of God say, "HONOR ALL MEN,
LOVE THE BROTHERHOOD, FEAR GOD AND HONOR THE
KING." The word of God enjoins us to honor and respect
every person. This includes a fornicator, a thief, a native
doctor, an evil doer, all the righteous people, and the people
in all walks of life. Are you not among these people? ALL
HUMAN BEINGS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE, ARE
ALL YOUR BRETHREN. WAS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST NOT
INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF THOSE BORN OF WOMEN, AND
WAS HE NOT MAN, WAS HE NOT BORN OF A WOMAN? WE
ARE TO HONOR AND RESPECT ALL BRETHREN.
About the honor to the king, are the chiefs of your village
and community not representatives of God? They are
ordained and kept by God and therefore, if you do not
respect them, you do not respect God. Now that you say that
you cannot respect anybody, but you profess to worship the
real God, as for the head of state, Governors, Secretaries
and Commissioners, that you have no regard for them, not
even you father and mother, tell me the truth that is in your
statement you worship the real, true God?
We read in the scripture that God created Adam and Eve, but
who was an eye witness? We should abandon the history of

creations, but we should take the simple instructions: "LOVE
ONE ANOTHER." Today what happens in the world is that
you want to identify a certain person with his family. Whose
son are you? What is your father’s name? And that person
will claim, "I am the son of A or B." What is the truth in that?
Are you not the Son of God any more? A child of God has no
genealogy. If you want tell the history of your birth, you are
a liar, it is more worthwhile to trace the genealogy of man
beginning with Adam and Eve, as the father and mother of
all human beings. Bear in mind that all men and women in
the entire world are the children of Adam and Eve, if we all
are the legitimate children of Adam, we are the children of
God.
You often ask, "Where do you come from, who is your father
and mother?" But do you know that the children of God have
neither a beginning nor an end? They have no other father
and mother. These sorts of questions bring nothing good to
humanity. All we ought to do is to love one another. What we
should do is to glorify God every day for it does not mean
that Christ was born a specific day. If we were not the
children of God what is the reason that God came to die on
our behalf? If you are not an integral part of God, why should
He come to die for you. Many people openly acclaim that
they are the Children of Satan, and they openly denounce
God, the creator. All the trees we put our hopes in are they
not made by God? They are gods themselves. Even stones,
sand, wind, and Lucifer, whom you always refer to as Satan,
is god. THE MEANING OF SATAN IS OPPOSITION. NOW THAT

CHRIST HAS GIVEN US INSTRUCTION THAT WE SHOULD
LOVE ONE ANOTHER, ALL THOSE WHO HATE ONE
ANOTHER ARE SATANIC BECAUSE THEY OPPOSE THE
GOVERNMENT OF CHRIST. Therefore change your mind and
love one another for all the churches, and everything in the
world, are one. We are to love God, love one another,
because if a child born today is revealed to you, you would
realize that the child had existed before the foundation of
the world. All the occurrences we now see, are repetitions
of evolution. Equally we ourselves sitting down here now are
all old people who had existed before the foundation of the
world. There is no new person in the world.
FROM TODAY, I DO NOT WANT ANY OF YOU TO SEEK FOR
HIS PERSONAL GLORY, EVERY ONE SHOULD SEEK THE
GLORY, HONOR OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ALONE. IF
OUR CONFIDENCE IS IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ALONE,
WE WILL HAVE NO PROBLEMS IN LIFE.
Let those who have ears hear, and may God bless His Holy
Words. Amen.
THANK YOU FATHER.
