THE PROMISE OF ETERNAL LIFE
JOHN 17: 2-3
John 17:2 As thou hast given him
power over all flesh, that he should
give ETERNAL LIFE to as many as thou
hast given him.
John 17:3 AND THIS IS LIFE
ETERNAL, THAT THEY MIGHT KNOW
THEE THE ONLY TRUE GOD, AND
JESUS CHRIST, WHOM THOU HAST
SENT.
2. THE PROMISE OF ETERNAL LIFE
* IN 1958, AT NO. 8 ETON STREET, ONE SISTER SAW OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST WITH HIS TWELVE DISCIPLES, SIX ON
EACH SIDE OF HIM. SHE SAW HIM PHYSICALLY, NOT IN A
VISION OR A DREAM. RIGHT NOW ABRAHAM, MOSES, ELIJAH
AND ALL THE PROPHETS AND ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD
ARE ALL HERE. THEREFORE DO NOT SEEK ANY PLACE FOR
YOURSELF. WE ARE TO REVEAL HIM TO THE ENTIRE WORLD.
* IF HE IS NOT KNOWN, NO PERSON WILL KNOW YOU. IF WE
FORSAKE EVERYTHING AND COMPLY WITH HIS
INSTRUCTIONS, WE SHALL BE GLORIFIED WITH HIM AND
EVERYTHING WILL BE GIVEN TO US; IN ADDITION, WE WILL
HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. YOU KEEP ON ASKING PEOPLE,
“WHERE IS MY GLORY?” AND I ASK YOU WHERE IS THE
GLORY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST? The government does
not know Christ. The Whites do not know Christ, neither do
they know God. They know nothing.
* YOUR PROBLEM IS THAT YOU ARE SEEKING FOR GLORY. NO
MAN CAN GIVE YOU ANY GLORY. GLORY IS IN THE HANDS OF
GOD AND YOU ARE IN THE KINGDOM YET YOU ARE LOOKING
FOR ANOTHER GLORY OUTSIDE. You are carrying the carcass
of an elephant on your head but you are fiddling with your toes
looking for snails. How much will you sell these snails for?
FIRS T BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 3:36
“He that believeth on the son hath everlasting life; and he that
believeth not the son shall not see life; but the wrath of God
shall be on him.”
3. SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 6:47
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me hath
everlasting life.”
GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 19:28-29
“And Jesus said unto them, 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 who
has forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or
mother, or wife, or children, or lands form my name’s sake,
shall receive an hundred-fold, and shall inherit eternal life.”
HEED GOD’S WORDS:
God has never deceived any person and he will never
deceive any one forever and forever. That is why it is said that
the testimonies of two people will always confirm a fact. The
first and second lessons are the direct words from God and the
Golden Text constitutes the reward for keeping to terms the
demands in the two lessons.
You may realize that it is impossible for anybody to give
another eternal life, but here God has promised that whoever
believes in Him has eternal life. Your father cannot give you
eternal life. Your mother cannot give you eternal life. Your
local government cannot give you eternal life, and your state
cannot provide you eternal life. Do what you may to any person
on earth, that person cannot give you eternal life. Your local
government does not have eternal life. God is the only who has
promised to give you eternal life because he is the only person
with eternal and can give eternal life. The Scripture confirms
this as it states that the wages of sin is death but the gift of
God is eternal life in Christ Jesus. That is why He has
4. instructed that you should not labor for the food which
perishes. Labor for food that will endure till eternity which the
son of man will give you because He was the one who was
sealed for the day of redemption.
Can you realize now that you have erred? You pray that
God should give you money, wife, and motor cars. Is that
eternal life? When you thank God that you have passed an
examination, you thank him for the good health He has
bestowed on you; you thank him because you have been able
to erect a storey building, are these all that He promised to
give you? He has said, “Whoever believes in me has eternal
life.”
You do not know what is meant by eternal life. It is a
pathetic situation to find some people who say they are
looking for money so they go to the kingdom of Satan where
they can have money, marry a wife and have what to eat. Such
people are abominable people. It is pitiful to find somebody
saying, “I want to continue in the church of my forefathers
because I am holding a big position there. I cannot relinquish
that position to attend another church.” The gospel does not
say that when you go to church, you will have eternal life. It
does not say that when you become a bishop you will have
eternal life. It says, “Whoever believes in me has eternal life.”
There is no prophet who can give you eternal life. There is
no church which can give you eternal life; and there is no
pastor who can give you eternal life. If you believe in Our Lord
Jesus Christ and you practice His teachings then you will have
eternal life. As at now all the church denominations have
failed. There is no church that believes in Him. The very name
church will remind you that Our Lord Jesus Christ did not form
any church denomination. Even though people name various
church denominations that they have founded as “The Church
5. of Christ,” “Church of the Lord,” tell me, which church did Our
Lord Jesus Christ found? Which church did He say if you attend
you have everlasting life? Christ was a crusader. He is the
head of the Crusaders. Whoever believes in Him and walks in
His footsteps and does the work which Christ did, such a
person has eternal life.
Many people are questioning the need for them to refrain
from fornication, theft, as well as denouncing secret societies.
It become necessary to forsake these vices and follow Our
Lord Jesus Christ because if you do so will gain eternal life. He
has said, “If any man comes to me and hates not his father,
and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sister,
yea his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whoever
does not bear his cross and come after me, cannot be my
disciple.” He has added that whoever does not forsake all that
he has cannot be His disciple. Who are those who have eternal
life? They are those who comply with the statement of Our
Lord Jesus Christ. Because if you do not hate your life, your
father, your mother, your brethren, you cannot be his disciple.
And if you do not forsake these relations, it means you do not
believe in Him.
If you do not carry your cross and follow after Him, if you
do not go from house to house and from street to street to tell
others about Him, how would you hope to be His disciple? If
you do not forsake all that you do, fornication, robbery,
diabolism, the thoughts of things of this world, how can you
become the disciple of Our Lord Jesus Christ? Remember that
lawyer who went to Our Lord Jesus Christ and told him, “Good
Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” He told him,
“Thou knowest the commandments, do not commit adultery,
do not kill, do not steal, do not bear false witness; honor thy
father and thy mother.” And the man said, “All these have I
6. kept from my youth up.” Jesus said unto him, “Yet lackest thou
thing, sell all that thou hast and distribute unto the poor and
thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come and follow me.
Keeping the word of God and following after him are
exactly like going into a primary school before you proceed to
the secondary school and the university levels. It is also like
when you want to count the numerals. You have to start with
zero(0). The teaching God started with Adam and Eve and later
with Cain and Abel was laying the foundation lesson which
was delivered to them and which still continues till today.
Whatever God tells you to do, if you believe and practice
it, you will have eternal life. GOD DOES NOT HAVE TWO
TEACHINGS. THERE IS ONLY ONE TEACHING AND IT IS THAT
WHOEVER BELIEVES IN ME, WILL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. He
told Adam and Eve, “Eat of all the fruits in this garden except
the one at the center, else the day you eat of it you will die.”
That was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. You
cannot attest to the fact that if Adam had eaten all the fruits
and had complied with the order of God by not eating of the
forbidden fruit, they would not have died. This would imply that
they did believe in Him. Why did they die? They were given a
definite instruction that they should not eat that forbidden fruit
but because they did not believe in Him, they went ahead to
eat the forbidden fruit. Ipso facto, the scripture that the wages
of sin is death got fulfilled. They died from that day. If they had
not eaten the fruit till today, they would still be here and there
would be no death for us today. Can you see the
commencement of this word about eternal life? Cain and Abel
were born into the instruction to go and sacrifice to God. Abel
took the fattest of all his rams to sacrifice to God. Cain went
and used a little yam in sacrificing, saying that God did not
need anything other than the heart. It was for that reason that
7. it was counted unto Abel as righteousness and he was given
eternal life because Abel believed in God. And that is exactly
what happened up to the time of Abraham.
God instructed that Abraham should take his only
begotten son to sacrifice unto Him. If you believe in God you
will have eternal life. At any time you have a sincere belief in
God, and you do whatever He tells you to do, you will have
eternal life. Eternal life is not derived from building a structure
and calling it a church. Before the advent of the Christian
churches, people had already known God better than the
people of today know God.
There has never been a time when God was not in
existence and there has never been a time when God did not
have people. During the time of Noah, there were no churches.
During the time of Abraham, there were no church
denominations. The establishment of Church denominations
came in recent times. You may be a witness to the fact that
even during the time of David there were no churches. It was
the fact that ark of covenant was carried about from place to
place, which made David decide to build a permanent place for
it. When he saw lack of a permanent place for the ark, he said
he was going to build a house for God. But God told him not to
build Him a house because David’s hands were defiled with
blood but that his son would build the house. Solomon built a
house for God but God does not live in houses built by the hand
of men. Building houses is nothing and that is not what God
requires primarily. Building of houses cannot take you into the
kingdom of God.
THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO OBEY THE VOICE OF GOD.
IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND GOD IS THE WORD.
When God says stand here and you stand, do not stand there,
and you heed to that advice, you are free.
8. God is the Spirit and the Truth. If you believe in Him, you
will do whatever He tell you and you will have eternal life.
What made Abraham the friend of God was that Abraham
obeyed the voice of God. Abraham heeded all the instructions
given to him by God and he walked according to the footsteps
of God. When he was seventy-five years old, God ordered that
he should pack from his homeland to another place and he
obeyed. Whatever God told Abraham to do, Abraham obeyed.
That is worshiping God in spirit and in truth. If therefore we
believe in God, we should put into practice what God tells us
and that obedience attracts eternal life.
STAGES OF TEACHINGS:
God passed through an angel to give Moses the ten
commandments. Those were the elementary part of the
doctrine. Abraham was examined by God when He was told
that his descendants shall be in bondage for four hundred
years. But after the period of bondage and servitude, He
would bring them out so as to serve God. That was the
beginning of the primary element of the present day principle.
Exactly the same principle was given to Adam when God told
him to, “Eat of all the trees in the garden, except one.” If the
Israelites had kept to the laws by not having another God, they
would not have died. When they received the ten
commandments, they rejoiced a great deal. It is said, “The fear
of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and so God was testing
them to see if they would obey Him. If they had obeyed God
would have followed and we would have benefitted today. But
because of the fact that they went after other gods, they were
destroyed by the destroyer. They committed fornication and
they were killed by the serpents. They also murmured against
God and they were slain in the desert. They did not believe in
God.
9. When Jesus the Christ came He had His own principle. His
teachings were great but they were merely the means to an
end. They were not really the end. John told the people that
there was one who had been before him and who was greater
than him, John, whose shoe latchet he was not worthy to
untie. He further told them that he was baptizing them with
water but the one who was before him would baptize people
with the Holy Spirit. John did not eat nor did he drink anything.
That was another teaching which has roots to ours now. JOHN
BROUGHT FORTH THE TEACHING OF PURIFICATION AND
SANCTIFICATION SO THAT ONE MAY BE ABLE TO SEE THE
CHRIST AND BELIEVE IN HIM. That was why Our Lord Jesus
Christ said, “Of all the people born of women, none is greater
than John except he that is least in the kingdom of God.”
From time immemorial God has been living with men on
earth but if one is not clean and pure, one cannot see Him; one
cannot know Him or walk with Him. But that does not stop God
from being God. Since it has pleased God to reveal himself
through the son, He sent John as a forerunner to come and
turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children and to make
the people ready to receive Him. The greatest thing is FAITH.
If you do not have faith in someone, how will you do what the
person tells you? IF YOU REJECT GOD AND HIS WORD WHAT
WILL ACTUALLY SAVE YOU? This is the downfall of Israel
and indeed the downfall of the entire world. They reject Our
Lord Jesus Christ and His teachings. That is why Christ said,
“Whoever believes in me has eternal life.” It was on account of
the teachings of John the Baptist to the people that made
them believe in Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Most church denominations do not bother about the
importance of faith. They only ask if someone believes in Our
Lord Jesus Christ. If the person answers yes, they will tell the
10. person he can gain entry into God’s kingdom, oblivious of the
fact that there are other very important virtues which are
required. It was the for belief in the deity of Our Lord Jesus as
the Christ of God that disciples of Our Lord Jesus Christ was
killed. To the churches, whether one refrained from sin or not
does not matter. That was the secondary stage of the doctrine
of Christ. The real thing, being the university teaching is what
we now have in Brother hood of the Cross and Star.
At that particular time however, faith was very significant
because there had been an announcement everywhere and
people had promulgated edicts and laws that God has no child.
Even though it was written in Psalm 82: 6 “I have said ye are
gods and all of you are the children of the Most High,” the Jews
had decreed that any day a person would call himself a son of
God, such a person would be killed. Many people do not know
why Our Lord Jesus Christ was actually killed. OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST WAS KILLED BECAUSE HE CALLED HIMSELF
THE SON OF GOD. The people were inflamed and they asked
why a human being should equate himself with God.
*The greatest work of God is for you to stand up and point
to a person and say, “This man standing here is the son of
God.” It us the greatest assignment you can perform. It is the
foundation of our faith. THAT IS WHY THE SCRIPTURE
QUERIES WHO THE ANTICHRIST IS BUT THE PERSON WHO
DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS COME IN THE
FLESH. Right now people are bothering themselves that
somebody should be called Christ. Was Our Lord Jesus Christ
not a man? If people actually worshiped Him then, what is the
difference? You have now been afforded with the greatest
opportunity to see God face to face. If somebody is known as
the Son of God then the way is paved for the Father to be
known. That is why he said, “For this is the covenant that I will
11. make with the house of Israel after those days. I will put my
laws in 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 neighbor, and every man his brother
saying know the Lord, for all shall know me (Not the Son), from
the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful unto their
unrighteousness, and their sins and iniquities will I remember
no more.”
Do not be surprised because this is the fullness of time. At
first people were talking of seeing the Son of God but now the
Father has revealed himself to every person on earth. And this
is the fullness of time that He should reveal Himself to all.
Because whoever believes in the Son has the Father. THE
ETERNAL PROMISE IMPLIES THAT YOU MUST KNOW THE
FATHER AND ALSO KNOW THE SON WHO IS OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST.(JOHN 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might
know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou
hast sent).
Now the Moslems believe the Father. Buddhist, Hindus
etc, everybody in would all over believe that there is ONE GOD
AND FATHER RULING OVERALL. Now that everybody has
accepted that God has a son, and that the Father, the Son and
the Holy Spirit is now on earth, we have to open the door to
another chapter of our teaching. What is this chapter? IT IS
THAT THE WHOLE WORLD IS BROTHERHOOD. This is what
people have been eagerly waiting to know. The world has been
seriously shaken. People are waiting to see the manifestation
of the children of God and now all the inhabitants of the whole
world have been revealed as the children of God. Romans
8:19 says: “For the earnest expectation of the creature
waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” And today,
the whole world and all of us have been revealed as children of
12. God and we are indeed the children of God. Since you realized
yourselves as the children of God you should live up to the
injunction that we should “love your enemies, bless them that
curse you and do good to them that hate you, and pray for
those who despitefully use you and persecute you. That ye
may be children of your Father which is in heaven for He
maketh his sun to rise on the just an unjust and he maketh the
rain to fall on the good and the evil. As a last injunction He told
us, “Be thou perfect even as your Father which is heaven is
perfect.” Now that you have realized yourself as a child of God,
you have to be perfect even as your heavenly Father is perfect.
This will lead you to that which Peter said when he
proclaimed, “We are waiting for a new heaven and a new earth
for therein dwelleth righteousness.” That is the wisdom of
truth.
Our Lord Jesus Christ had said, “I am the way, the truth
and the life.” This means that the Doctrine of Christ will lead
us to eternal life. All those who commit sin are slaves to sin,
and the slave does not dwell in the house forever but the Son
lives in the house forever. If you comply with the instructions
given you by God and you try to be as perfect as He is, walking
in His footsteps and loving God with all your heart, strength
and soul, and you obey the Father and the Son, then we will
have eternal life.
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 3:36
“He that believeth on the son hath everlasting life; and he that
believeth not the son shall not see life; the wrath of God
abideth on him.
WE ARE THE BROTHERHOOD:
Brethren, what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole
world and lose his soul? This is what the children of God and
indeed the whole world should ponder over. You came into this
13. world, and you go about drinking, and doing all sorts of
wrongful things. You do not know God, you do not believe in
God and you do not keep the instructions of God. What shall be
your reward? What do you lose when you keep God’s
instructions and refrain from sin?
As a child of God you do not come from Nigeria, Africa,
Europe, or Russia. You are not from anywhere but you are of
God. The children of God are from heaven and God is our
Father and everything in heaven and on earth belong to Him
and that which belongs to God belongs to His children. Every
person, male or female, is a child of God. All the fishes in the
waters are God’s angels. The animals are His creation and
therefore if we believe in Him we are to love all of them even
as He said we should care for them and love every person.
That is part of our mission. If you want history to repeat itself,
you go back to Genesis Chapter one from verse twenty-five to
twenty-nine. God created man in His own image and likeness.
He created them male and female. God gave man the power to
superintend over the animals, including the birds, and all
creeping things. He did not give any man the power to kill them
but to take them and control all of them because both birds
and fish and all other animals are all the same.
Those of you who claim to have high knowledge, have you
traced out to find out who created Adam? Who was the father
of Adam? If you want to trace the genealogy of any person, it
must always end with these two person, Adam and Eve. Eve
was the daughter of God. Both of them were the children of
God. That is the beginning of Brotherhood.
Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Call no man master for Christ
alone is your Master, but ye are all brethren. Adam and Eve
were brethren. Brethren means Brotherhood. Brotherhood
means the children of God. The inhabitants of the world come
14. from these two persons, Adam and Eve. We have to return to
this real Brotherhood but you cannot accomplish this when
you cannot refrain from lying, drunkenness, idolatry, hatred
and all the abominable things used to doing. You cannot tell
the truth when you do not refrain from lying. Till doomsday,
you cannot tell the truth if you have not forsaken lying. If you
do not refrain from stealing, till eternity, you cannot do without
other people’s property. If you do not forsake hatred, you
cannot love any person, even if you remain here for one
hundred years. If you do not refrain from killing, you will not
be able to preserve any man’s life. That was why the ten
commandments were given as the primary teaching.
If you refrain from stealing it means you will not steal
again and you will be able to see your way through because
one man cannot serve two masters. When you refrain from
theft, you do not take another person’s property. If refrain from
killing then your duty becomes preserving man’s life. But if we
do not have love, peace, patience, and humility, and all the
other virtues of God it will be impossible to make the whole
world one.
That is why Peter said we are waiting for a new heaven
and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. If the people
had seen this kingdom, they would not have waited for
another. Unfortunately when people come before me, they
pretend to be righteous and have and follow my instructions.
Many do my injunctions only when they come before me but
the moment they go back to their stations they behave as they
like. In Lagos, Kano or America, you are causing division
among brethren, and you are struggling for money. Is this how
to be a child of God? This is the new heaven and the new earth.
Anger, hatred, or cheating is not required here but joy and
righteousness. These pretenders are those who are forever
15. learning without getting to the wisdom of the truth.
Whatever you do with God flourishes but without God
such a thing dies off. What can unite the whole world?
Knowledge puffs up. That is why it is said faith, love and hope,
the greatest of these is LOVE. Love builds up. If you have
wisdom, mercy, patience, and you speak the truth, but you
have no love, you are useless. Love unites all things in the
whole world. That is why it is said peace, joy, humility,
patience, and self-control take root from love(Galatians
5:22-23). Without love you cannot convince people in Britain
or America that you are already in this kingdom. The best you
can do is to testify to the brethren that the kingdom has come
and that they should come to Calabar and see things for
themselves. The reason is that you have nothing in you to
show. Fortunately, it is only when the brethren come here that
they in the kingdom of God. Up to now, you are still behaving
as somebody from the Roman Catholic church or from the
Presbyterian or from Mount Zion. You are still fighting, you are
still quarreling, you are still scrambling over food and you are
exhibiting other attributes of people in the church
denomination. There is no expression of anything about this
kingdom in you.
John the Divine said he saw no temple in the new city but
that Jehovah God and His Christ constitute the temple in it.
That city has no need for the sun and moon because the Lamb
is the lamp thereof. Have you found any temple here? Have you
seen the light of the sun or the light of the moon or the wisdom
of this world or any carnal thing? None of these things can
come in here but you should humble yourself so that eternal
life may be bestowed on you. It is written as by one man sin
entered into the world, so also through the obedience of one
man shall many be made righteous. It was because of the
16. mistake of Adam that very many people suffered, even though
they did not commit any offence. But today, it is through Our
Lord Jesus Christ that salvation has been granted all men;
even those who have not done a single good thing.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 6:47
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me hath
everlasting life.”
WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION:
Brethren, are you now aware of the Lord’s promise to you?
He has promised eternal life. Now that you are after money,
will it give you eternal life? You are looking for children, will
children give you eternal life? You want to marry all the
women in the world, will they give you eternal life? But if you
believe in the word of God, if you comply with the teachings of
God, and if you comply with God’s instructions you have
eternal life. Abandon all the teachings of your former church
denomination and the life which you led there. Adjust to the
teachings of this new kingdom. This is the new kingdom of God
and the condition is that we must put new wine into new
wineskin, new wine must be put into new wine bottles. That is
why Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Ye that have followed, in the
regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of
His glory ye shall also sit on the twelve thrones, judging the
twelve tribes of Israel.”
In this kingdom of God there is no division, there is no
theft or robbery, not hatred, no egotism, no pride. “I came from
such and such a place,” does not come in here. It is love alone
which reigns here. It is oneness which exist among the whole
lot of us. THERE IS ONE FATHER FOR ALL; THERE IS ONE GOD,
ONE LORD, ONE TEACHER, ONE SON OF GOD AND SO THERE
IS NO DIVISION. What then are you scrambling for? How are
17. you better off than the other friend? The kingdoms of the world
have become the kingdom of Jehovah God and His Christ and
He shall reign forever and ever. NEITHER A MAN NOR A
WOMAN WILL RULE BUT IT IS ONLY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
WHO IS ALL AND IN ALL. AND BRETHREN IF YOU BELIEVE IN
HIS REIGN, YOU WILL NO LONGER TELL LIES OR CAUSE
DIVISION. WHAT THEN ARE YOU SCRAMBLING FOR? HOW
ARE YOU BETTER OFF THAN THE OTHER PERSON? AGAIN,
NEITHER A MAN OR A WOMAN WILL RULE BUT IT IS ONLY
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO IS ALL AND IN ALL.
And so brethren, if you brethren, you believe in his reign,
you will no longer tell lies or cause division. You will not claim
you come from Nigeria, America or Britain. You will not claim
to be black or white or colored. When you behave this way, it
means you do not believe in his reign. If you believe in Our Lord
Jesus Christ then you will reign with Him. If you do not believe
in Our Lord Jesus Christ, you will receive eternal punishments
for it has been written, “Those mine enemies which do not
wish that I rule over them, bring them here and slay them
before me.”
God does not like divisions, He does not like oppression,
He does not like quarreling, He does not like fighting, He does
not like idolatry. God does not like drinking, he does not like
anything evil. As he has instructed, man’s food should be the
seed bearing fruits, and we are now going back to that
instruction.
You are true witnesses to the fact that an empty bag
cannot stand erect. It is also true that a bag which is full
cannot fall down. If we do not surrender ourselves completely
to God, He cannot use us. So long as you have forsaken and
removed the old things from you, you can then surrender to
God. YOU HAVE BEEN IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND
18. STAR FOR TWENTY YEARS BUT YOU CONTINUE TO
STRUGGLE FOR GLORY. YOU STRUGGLE TO HEAD A
FELLOWSHIP, YOU STRUGGLE TO BE THE CHAIRMAN OF THIS
AND THE CHAIRMAN OF THAT. WHEN YOU SUCCEED IN
YOUR STRUGGLES THEN YOU BECOME ARROGANT.
What has Christ said ? He said, “Abide in me even as I
abide in you. Without me you can bear no fruit.” For all these
years you have been living as you pleased, what good do you
reap? Upon all the church denominations in the world, what
good has come to the world? Upon all the secret societies in
the world, what good has come to the world? Upon all the
cities that spring up in the world, what good have the cities
done? Look at all the governments and firms around the whole
world, what useful purpose do they serve? They oppress,
cheat, kill, steal, hate, and quarrel. That is what is prevalent in
the whole world.
It is said the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the
Lord is there is liberty. IN THIS KINGDOM, THERE IS ONE
SPIRIT, ONE TEACHER, ONE LORD, ONE FATHER, ONE GOD
ONE SON. THAT IS ALL. You cannot know what is in this
kingdom unless you refrain from sin. Secondly, you must begin
to practice righteousness before you can behold the goodness
of this kingdom. Here there is one Lord and the Holy Spirit is
the ruler in all the heavens and the earth. No person has any
say in this kingdom. All wealth belong to God. All wisdom is
His alone and He has all power.
Do not call any person your child in this world; God alone
has the children. That is why He has said that you should not
call any person Father because one is your Father, even God
and you are all brethren. You are all brothers and sisters.
The instructions He has given to us is that we should not
resist an evil doer. If we believe in Him, then we will not fight
19. an evil doer, and you will have eternal life. If someone strikes
you on your right cheek, turn to him also the left cheek. When
you do this you have eternal life. If someone compels you to
walk a mile with him, go with him, two mile. If you do this then
you have eternal life. It is said blessed are the peacemakers
for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are the
pure in heart for they shall see God.
The saying that whoever believes in Him has eternal life
infers that whoever practices His teachings will live eternally.
When Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, God said,
“Behold man is become as one of us, to know good and evil;
and now lest he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of
life and eat, and live forever, therefore the Lord God sent him
forth from the Garden of Eden, to till the ground from when he
was taken. So He drove out the man, and he placed at the east
of the Garden of Eden, Cherubim, and a flaming sword which
turned every way to keep the way of the tree of life.”
What is this tree of life? It is what you are receiving today.
Since that time there was no word of God. THE FIRST PERSON
TO PREACH THE WORD OF GOD IS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Abraham did not know what is called the word of God.
Neither Isaac nor Jacob knew except Our Lord Jesus Christ
WHO IS GOD. GOD IS THAT TREE OF LIFE. That is why he says
whoever believes in Him has eternal life. Has Our Lord Jesus
Christ not told you that He is the true vine and His Father the
husbandman? He added that the branch in Him that does not
bring forth fruit shall be cut off. But if you abide in Him and He
in you, you will bear much fruit. He explained that apart from
Him, you are cut off and withered and thrown into the fire.
The Bread of Heaven one eats and lives forever is this
word of life. If you do not believe that you are a child of God
then whose child do you think you are? I am saying that the
20. whole world is made up of the children of God. Heaven and
earth belong to God, the fullness therein belong to God. The
Psalmist queries , “Who shall receive the blessing from the
Lord and 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 deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing
from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his
salvation.”
Do not regard Brotherhood of the Cross and Star as the
Apostolic, Presbyterian, or Qua Iboe church, neither as Islam
nor any organization in the world. This is the kingdom of God.
You have problems because you do not know that the
kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of Jehovah
God and His Christ. If you were to know you would not talk and
walk and behave the way you like. Do you not know that this is
the era of the Holy Spirit. As many as are led by the Spirit of
God they are the children of God.
The bethels have problems because those who are
presiding over them are not kept there by God. Every person
behaves according to the dictate of the flesh, mind, and by the
desire of his heart, (Ephesians 2:3). Yet they claim to be
Brotherhood. The moment people leave my presence, you will
not see the practice of Brotherhood. Even in the guest house
which is very close by, because if you go to the guest house,
there is somebody who will beat you up, another person will be
eyeing you. As soon as you get out my presence, no one
practices what is taught here. You will see another version of
Brotherhood.
The Scripture says, “We are the children of God but it
does not appear what we shall be: But we know that when he
shall appear we shall be like him; for we shall see him as He
21. is.” The behaviors you are exhibiting, where do you learn them
from? Do you learn them from here? Because it is said what a
son sees in the father that he adopts. When the Jews accused
Our Lord Jesus Christ that because He healed on a Sabbath
day He was not the Son of God, what did Our Lord Jesus Christ
answer? He answered and said to them, “My Father worketh
hitherto I work because the son do nothing of himself.”
All of you in this fold, the ordained ones, elders,
choristers, etc is what you are doing exactly the Father does?
What are you thinking now, is it what the Father is thinking? It
is said when you see the dead man, tears will roll down from
your eyes. Now you have seen the dead man, where are your
tears? You are still engaging in fraud, cheating, fornication
and causing division among you. Are these the things which
apply in the kingdom of God? THE KINGDOM OF GOD DOES
NOT CONSIST OF EATING, DRINKING; IT IS LOVE, PEACE,
JOY, PATIENCE, RIGHTEOUSNESS, SELF-CONTROL, AND JOY
IN THE HOLY SPIRIT. This is not the time to go about
preaching. This is the time for practical Christianity. I have
never instructed anybody not to come here with shoes, ties
and watch. You come in with all these things but when you do
see me without any of these things you will re-arrange
yourself. But in your case when you leave this place you
practice another thing.
If you believe in God you will realize that God created man
in His own image and God told man to rule over all the animal,
including the fishes. God did not tell you to kill and eat the
animals. But today, you as a Brotherhood member continue to
kill and eat the fishes. The only food God recommended for
man is the fruit bearing seed. You are to eat fruits alone. And
God added a new commandment, that we may love one
22. another even as Christ loved us; for if you love one another, the
whole world will know that you are His disciples. The issue
does not call for prolonged preaching. It hangs on love.
Love does not wrong to his neighbor, love does not dupe
nor deceive, love does not charge for services rendered. Today
when you give somebody a vision, you collect money from him.
When you heal someone of his sickness, you charge money. Is
that the way of love? If you had love would you say that
another person is not Brotherhood or would say other
churches are not Brotherhood? What are they then? If you had
love would you impute sin on others? Would you say you have
nothing to do with that thief or fornicator or murderer because
he is not a Brotherhood. If they are not Brotherhood then what
are they?
Christ said, “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy
laden and I will give you rest.” In Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star, there is no divisive tendency. No discrimination and no
segregation. I do not say this church is this or that. I know you
as one. Whenever you come across these persons, show them
this truth, show them love, show them humility and
self-control. Shine to them in all ways, not because you seek
for praise but because you are the children of the Kingdom. If
we practice the word of God as He has given us the
instructions, you will see that the promise of God will be
fulfilled in us when things will be regenerated.
If we forsake theft, lying, deceit, cunning ways, worldly
glory and surrender ourselves wholly to God, if we serve God
and practice His word, then things shall be made anew we will
have our share of His promise, in the name of Our Lord Jesus
Christ. YOUR PROBLEM IS THAT YOU ARE SEEKING FOR
GLORY. NO MAN CAN GIVE YOU ANY GLORY. GLORY IS IN
THE HANDS OF GOD AND YOU ARE IN THE KINGDOM YET YOU
23. ARE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER GLORY OUTSIDE. You are
carrying the carcass of an elephant on your head but you are
fiddling with your toes looking for snails. How much will you
sell these snails for? If you were to realize what is in this
kingdom, you would have sold all that you have and you would
have distributed the money to the poor. Because the promise
is for those who have forsaken all these things. When all these
things have been made anew, His promise will be fulfilled in
you.
Do you think Our Lord Jesus Christ was a stupid man? Or
do you think that Peter and the rest of them who forsook all
things were foolish? You who go about seeking and
struggling for the things of the world, do you think you are
wise? The Golden Text explains what lies in store for all those
who keep God’s instructions.
GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 19:28-29
“And Jesus said unto them 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 shall also 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 hundred fold, and shall inherit eternal life.”
YOUR REWARD IS GREAT:
Brethren, the above excerpt reveals God’s promise to all
those who believe in Him. As enumerated, if you practice the
injunction, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of His
glory, you will also have a kingdom to rule. YOU WILL HAVE
YOUR SHARE IN HIS WEALTH AND IN ADDITION YOU WILL
HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A JESUS OR
JEHOVAH OR SPIRIT BEFORE YOU HEED THIS INJUNCTION.
24. THE PROMISE IS THAT IF YOU COMPLY WITH ALL HIS
INSTRUCTIONS, WHEN THINGS SHALL BE REGENERATED,
YOU WILL SIT WITH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, JUDGING THE
TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL. In addition those who have
forsaken houses, brethren, sisters, father, mother, wife,
children, or lands for His name’s sake shall inherit everlasting
life.
It is said, “Seek ye first the glory of God and Christ and all
other things shall be added unto you.”
Do you think that if He did not seek first righteousness
from the throne of His Father, He would be glorified? You who
go about deceiving and defrauding people, looking for the
things of this world, you do not want to work, but you are
robbing Peter to pay Paul, do you think if you do not refrain
from all the things in the world, you will ever see Him and sit
with Him and judge the twelve tribes of Israel? IF HE IS NOT
KNOWN, NO PERSON WILL KNOW YOU. IF WE FORSAKE
EVERYTHING AND COMPLY WITH HIS INSTRUCTIONS, WE
SHALL BE GLORIFIED WITH HIM AND EVERYTHING WILL BE
GIVEN TO US; IN ADDITION, WE WILL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
YOU KEEP ON ASKING PEOPLE, “WHERE IS MY GLORY?” AND
I ASK YOU WHERE IS THE GLORY OF OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST? The government does not know Christ. The Whites do
not know Christ, neither do they know God. They know
nothing. Therefore it is my duty and your duty to ensure we
reveal this deity to them in whatever way we can, through
love, purity, kindness and mercy, so that when He is revealed,
we also may share in His glory.
In the world, people who go into politics make electoral
promises but they fail to fulfill them. But God’s promise that
whoever stands by Him to His enthronement shall also reign
with Him. His promises are true. Today the twelve disciples
25. are glorified with Our Lord Jesus Christ. Whenever Our Lord is,
they are there with Him.
IN 1958, AT NO. 8 ETON STREET, ONE SISTER SAW OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST WITH HIS TWELVE DISCIPLES, SIX ON
EACH SIDE OF HIM. SHE SAW HIM PHYSICALLY, NOT IN A
VISION OR A DREAM. RIGHT NOW ABRAHAM, MOSES, ELIJAH
AND ALL THE PROPHETS AND ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD
ARE ALL HERE. THEREFORE DO NOT SEEK ANY PLACE FOR
YOURSELF. WE ARE TO REVEAL HIM TO THE ENTIRE WORLD.
I am not Jesus nor God, nor Spirit, nor elder. All I know is
that if I do His work and keep His instructions, when
everything will be regenerated, I know that all His promises
will be fulfilled on me. You also should know that if you believe
in Him, all that He has promised shall be fulfilled on you. You
will sit on the throne judging the twelve tribes of Israel. You
will have all that you missed and in addition, you have eternal
life. Unfortunately, now your greatest desire is glory, wealth,
and everlasting life. But do you have them? He alone has them.
You are seeking for wealth where it is not. You look for
glory where it does not exist. You also look for and try to
obtain earthly things. All these things are owned by Our Lord
Jesus Christ and if we practice His instructions He will give us
all our desires. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. His
reign is to eternity. His wealth is forever. Today if you are
asked what your hope is, why you go bare foot and why you
humble yourself, you should refer that person to this promise.
Tell the person that when all things shall be made a new, you
will share in His glory and you will have eternal life.
Our Lord Jesus Christ does not tell lies and His promises
are true. All those who give themselves completely to Him in
order to reveal His glory will share in His reign. Your father will
disappoint you. Your mother will disappoint you, your brother
26. and sister will disappoint you. Your mother will disappoint you,
your friend will disappoint you, your brother and sister will
disappoint you, but Our Lord Jesus Christ will never disappoint
you. BUT IF YOU DENY CHRIST HE TOO WILL DENY YOU.
Do not listen to any pastor or reverend or any person who
says he can offer prayers and remove you from hell to heaven.
Do not go for such prayers because he can never do it. Many
people complain that they would have come to Brotherhood
but for the fact that they are holding glorious positions in their
church denominations. AND I TELL YOU, THERE IS NO
POSITION OR GLORY APART FROM THE ONE HE HAS AND HE
ALONE GIVES TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM. FOR IT IS
WRITTEN THAT ON HIS HEAD ARE MANY CROWNS WHICH HE
GIVES TO THOSE WHO CONQUER WITH HIM.
Do you not see how things appear in the world today? You
marry a wife, the wife is His child, yet you do not know Him.
How then shall the wife be submissive to you? When you talk
of children, you have no children. They are His children. You
have no city, He has the city. All the wealth belong to Him and
He has gathered all of it to Himself so as to give to those who
accept Him. He has taken all wisdom unto Himself, to be given
to those who obey Him. He has taken all powers unto Himself,
only those who keep His instructions will share in His power.
Now you hear the Amorc and all the secret societies
complaining that they have no powers again. It is because the
owner has taken His powers back unto Himself.
Do not doubt anymore. Do not look unto anyone. You may
be told that you are going to be given the position of a Bishop
or an Apostle, realize that none of these positions can be
compared to the glory of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Do not
struggle to become a chairman or secretary or treasurer to
struggle over money here. Forget about all these things and
27. concentrate your attention on practicing the word of God and
doing His will so that you may be rewarded in the end. Hope
on this God who has made His promises to you, for His
promises will remain forever. He has promised to give
everything to those who believe in Him and do His will. From
today on, if anyone interrogates you about your belief, your
faith, and hope, open this passage to Him. That is where your
hope lies. Somebody may ask you, “Since you went to
Brotherhood your problems have not been solved. Why do you
continue to waste your money to go there?” You are to open
this passage to him. Tell him what you are waiting for.
Think about Abraham when he had no child, God promised
him that he would be a father of many nations. And so, on
God’s command, he left his country and he went to the place
God chose for him. Until he was ninety years old he had no
child, yet his faith did not wane because he knew that
whatever God had promised that would God do. Abraham had
no dwelling place. He went about from place to place believing
that God had promised him a city. When God made a promise
to Abraham, he had no child but it took a very long time before
the promise was fulfilled. This reveals the fact that if you are
not strong enough, you cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Today, all the inhabitants of the world are Abraham’s children.
And so Brethren, take note that since the promise of God
was fulfilled in Abraham, it will also be fulfilled in those who
are the children of God. Do not allow persecution, hunger, war,
pestilence, slander, death, or any other thing to cause you to
derail from this path of God.
A stroke of the cane is enough for the wise. Let those who
have ears to hear what the Holy Spirit reveals to the world.
May God bless His holy word, Amen.
THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
28. ……………………………………………………………………………………
THE ETERNAL KINGDOM
*DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF DIVERTING OR
MISDIRECTING GOD’S OWN GLORY AND PRAISES TO MAN OR
ANYTHING MADE BY MAN. GOD HAS COME DOWN IN HIS DUE
GLORY AND POWER. ALL THE PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS
OF THIS EARTH HAVE BEEN INCAPACITATED; AND THEY ARE
ALL NULL AND VOID. THIS IS THE ERA OF THE GLORY OF
JEHOVAH GOD AND HIS CHRIST.
*WHEN MENTION IS MADE OF THE GLORY OF GOD,
REFERENCE IS INVARIABLY MADE TO THE POWER OF GOD.
This fact is in fact known to the necromancers, soothsayers,
and metaphysicians. But because you, the foolish ones,
continue to patronize them, they also continue to fool you.
What will easily turn people’s mind away from idolatry and vain
beliefs is for us all to embrace the truth and propagate God’s
power over every human being.
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:51-54
“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but
we shall be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead
shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this
corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put
on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on
incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,
then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death
is swallowed up in victory.”
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: HEBREWS 6:4-6
“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened,
29. and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers
of the Holy Ghost. And have tasted the good word of God, and
the powers of the world to come. If they shall fall away, to
renew them again unto repentance, seeing they crucify to
themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open
shame.”
GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 5:18
“For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one
jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be
fulfilled.”
A PROPHECY FULFILLED:
Beloved, the above texts form the theme of this gospel
which highlights the fulfillment of the prophecies as spoken
through the prophets of God. The whole world is today at its
wits end, not knowing what to do. The inhabitants of the world
are at their wits end because they have forsaken the truth.
This explains why you have been urged to remember the words
of the prophets when you realize that things are not in their
proper positions. The Lord has promised that heaven and the
earth shall pass away, but not a jot or title of His word shall
pass away without being fulfilled.
The so-called astrologers, the scientists, projectionists,
metaphysicians, and members of secret societies have all
exhausted their energy. The time for such trades to thrive has
since passed and gone. It is high time men rearranged their
thinking, and retraced their steps back to God. All the daily
goings-on in the world today have all been written about. If we
believed in these words of the Lord and the Prophets of God,
we would cease to doubt them and would have instead put
30. these words into practice. It is high time we loved one
another, be kind, humble, patient, merciful, and generally
obedient to God. This is indeed the era and fulfillment of the
nomination in the scripture.
The new heaven and the new earth do not mean a sky and
new colors, and a new earth with new environmental features.
The new heaven and the new earth by explanation mean, the
kingdom of God with new system and everything working
according to God’s charge. By extension, it is the fulfillment of
the dream which king Nebuchadnezzar had which prophet
Daniel interpreted. You will remember that Nebuchadnezzar
was so troubled by that dream, and he was so desperate for its
interpretation. Unfortunately, none of his seers and magicians
could interpret that dream. Out of disappointment,
Nebuchadnezzar threatened to kill all his seers and magicians
but for Prophet Daniel who came to their rescue.
What we see now is the fulfillment of the first item on
God’s agenda. God has never had a multitude of saviors or
faithfuls. It has always been one savior and two or three
faithfuls. Daniel, after hearing Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, called
about three believers into the temple where they prayed to
God to reveal the meaning of the dream. God did reveal the
meaning to Daniel who then went to Nebuchadnezzar and
explained everything to him. He told Nebuchadnezzar that the
meaning of his dream was that kingdoms shall come and reign,
and shall subsequently disappear. But that there shall come a
kingdom with great power which shall reign for ever; and the
power of this kingdom shall be insurmountable .
The world rules by force, by intimidation, oppression and
corruption. Daniel told Nebuchadnezzar that he shall reign as
king, and go; and that many more like him shall come and go;
but that there shall come an absolute power and force which
31. shall rise above every other power and force, and also swallow
them all. THAT GREAT POWER, AS DANIEL SAID, SHALL
SUBDUE THE POWERS OF SIN, CORRUPTION, DEATH, AND
OTHER PRINCIPALITIES. If we were to know and believe this
fact, we would keep all the commandments of God and refrain
from every bit of sin. This is the time of joy. It is an era of
harmony with God.
No man should think that he would obtain justification
through his righteousness. No person can of his own power,
refrain from sin, and surrender himself to God. When that great
power comes, the trumpet shall be sounded; and all his
children shall be gathered unto Himself; and shall He forgive
their unrighteousness; and their sins and iniquities will He no
more remember. It is at that time that all obstacles shall be
removed from the ways of the Children of God; and they shall
call Him blessed. Ipso facto, everything in heaven and on earth
shall then be changed, marking the ultimate kingdom where
God shall reign forever. All these things having been aforesaid
should take no one by surprise, as they come to pass, one after
the other. No power shall exist apart from the God’s power as
it is sung in our spiritual chorus:
“No power exists again (2x). Satan’s power does not exist
again to destroy the Lord’s work.”
What you are seeing in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star
is the manifestation of power which the entire world had been
waiting for. Have you not seen the signs of the power which
the entire world had been waiting for? Have you not seen the
signs indicating the manifestation of that power as explained
to Nebuchadnezzar by Daniel?
The belief in and enrollment into various secret or open
societies have ceased. God has not hidden His scheme of
things from men. He has promised that, upon His life, every
32. knee shall bow and all tongues shall sing His
praises.(Philippians 2:10-11).
This is not the time for you to persuade people to accept
God. Men are confused and they have failed; but God is not
confused, and He will never fail. God is consistent and upright,
and He changes not.(Hebrews 13:8).
Go now and tell your parents, relations and friends who
continue to indulge in fetish practices and idolatry to desist
from such acts. Tell all unbelievers that the owner and creator
of heaven and earth has come; that they should retrace their
steps from evil, and acknowledge God’s presence; for He will
cleanse them as white as snow, and He w ill abide in them.
Do the so-called learned men and scientists of this world
know of this divine arrangement? To show you the extent of
God’s seriousness over the vow, GOD EMPHASIZED THAT
UPON HIS LIFE, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW AND EVERY
TONGUE SHALL SING HIS PRAISES. What nature of person do
you imagine such a Being to be? We are therefore not
responsible for our faith and belief in God. We bow and sing His
praises; for every power comes from God. Otherwise, why are
the so-called great men of this world unable to trace the
source of power that controls and directs the affairs of the
world?
This Gospel is unique and serves as an eye opener to all
men who obtain it. No man would, after going through this
gospel, have any more interest in telling lies, causing division,
indulging in fornication, killing, idolatry, and living abominable
lives. This is the time for us all to believe in and serve God.
God is the only power which exists. We are all under the
protection and salvation of this great power.
DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF DIVERTING OR
MISDIRECTING GOD’S OWN GLORY AND PRAISES TO MAN OR
33. ANYTHING MADE BY MAN. GOD HAS COME DOWN IN HIS DUE
GLORY AND POWER. ALL THE PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS
OF THIS EARTH HAVE BEEN INCAPACITATED; AND THEY ARE
ALL NULL AND VOID. THIS IS THE ERA OF THE GLORY OF
JEHOVAH GOD AND HIS CHRIST.
WHEN MENTION IS MADE OF THE GLORY OF GOD,
REFERENCE IS INVARIABLY MADE TO THE POWER OF GOD.
This fact is in fact known to the necromancers, soothsayers,
and metaphysicians. But because you, the foolish ones,
continue to patronize them, they also continue to fool you.
What will easily turn people’s mind away from idolatry and vain
beliefs is for us all to embrace the truth and propagate God’s
power over every human being.
Before now, the human race had hoped on America
for political and economic subsistence. Others had depended
on India and other Asian countries for spiritual survival. All
these beliefs and high hopes on men and institutions of men
have been nipped in the bud.
People now call Brotherhood of the Cross and Star various
derogatory names such as vampire and Beelzebub
organization. If Brotherhood is a demonic organization as the
world claims, why has nemesis not caught up with it? Instead
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star continues to wax stronger
and stronger by the day while the world’s renowned and
recognized institutions and conventions continue to go down
the drain and fade away.
I have warned you to refrain from sacrificing animals or
any living creature, and to refrain from the pouring of libation.
This is the time to liberate yourselves from the traditions
and conventions of your forefathers; and free yourselves from
their apron strings. This is not the time to endeavor to please
man. This is the era of love, kindness, obedience and
34. righteousness. Those who continue to offer sacrifices, pour
libation, light candles or burn incense, do incantations or
engage in any fetish practices should pray fervently for
themselves, because of the woes that await them. Have no
thought whatsoever about yourself. The one that was spoken
about has arrived. Your problem is disobedience. A lot of you
go to eat the waste you had vomited. You could be quite
healthy and strong; but you must do away with every evil
tendency. YOU SHOULD NOTE THAT YOU HAVE PROBLEMS,
AND YOU GET DESPAIRED THE MOMENT YOU TREAD THE
PATH OF INIQUITY. GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE. HE HAS
COME TO CHANGE AND UNITE THE WORLD. HE HAS COME
INTO THE WORLD BUT THE WORLD KNOWS HIM NOT.
God has come, and He rules by the spoken word. In the
beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and the Word
was God. The Word has continued to be God. The Father is the
word, the Son is the word, and the Holy Spirit is the word.
WHAT YOU SHOULD SEEK AFTER IS THE WORD; NOT
MEDICINE, JUJU OR ANY HUMAN INVENTION. Go and tell the
world to withdraw from all iniquities and human conventions.
Let your armory be the Word of God. Your beauty, strength,
righteousness, and salvation is derived from the Word of God.
Why should people waste their money, energy and time in
fetish practices? The people of the world are so surprised over
the power that is inherent in and radiates from members of
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Their presence alone
renders any kind of diabolical or fetish power lifeless. This is
what surprises the world the most. But they have forgotten
about God’s promise that His power shall consume every other
power. Read the first lesson again.
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:51-54
35. “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but
we shall be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead
shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this
corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put
on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on
incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,
then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death
is swallowed up in victory.”
THE ERA OF RIGHTEOUSNESS:
In this kingdom, the dead, on several occasions, have
been raised. Many miracles are done by little children here. In
the days of Our Lord Jesus Christ, He alone could heal. Instead
of glorifying God, the world continues to wage the campaign of
calumny against Brotherhood. They are doing this, not out of
ignorance of the truism in the doctrine and power in
Brotherhood but deliberately because of their selfish motives.
He has promised that heaven and earth shall pass away but
not a jot of the word of God will pass away without being
fulfilled.
No worldly person believes that a man can exist without
indulging in diabolical practices to protect himself. Human
beings believed generally in evil and perpetrating evil. It is the
coming of the Father by Himself into the world which has
caused people to disabuse their minds from evil practices.
This explains why we have every cause to rejoice. The facts
are corroborated by the spiritual chorus which says:
This is time, this is time. This is the time of Jesus
The sinners, have a change of heart. This is the time
of Jesus
The murderers, have a change of heart. This is the
36. time of Jesus.
This indeed is the time of Our Lord Jesus Christ; and all
sinners should repent. This is when there shall be one flock
under one shepherd. It is not the time for you to seek to be
advised by man. He has come with power, truth and glory.
Cases where death and problems are highly recorded prove
that the inhabitants of such areas are unbelievers. Any object
of creation, be it water, mountain, tree, or an ant which
refuses to accept Him has to be removed from the surface of
the earth. This explains why He said of a mystery in the first
lesson that “We shall not all but we shall be changed, in a
moment, in the twinkle of an eye, at the last trumpet for the
trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
The population of the world has so tremendously
increased despite wars and deaths all over the world. Do you
know where these human being are coming from? These are
the handiwork of the Almighty who has also provided freedom
to all. It is neither you nor I who is responsible for the work
that it done here.
No man has power or wisdom but God has all power. It is
therefore erroneous for any one to claim that it is Olumba
Olumba Obu who is responsible for the work that is done in
this kingdom. Our duty is to repent and acknowledge His
presence. HE HAS COME WITH THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL.
He can make and unmake. All those who repent and accept
Him have no problems at all. He has come to fulfill Daniel’s
explanation that a kingdom shall rise which shall swallow
every other existing kingdom.
It is sheer waste of time and effort for any person to
stamp his feet and beat his chest that he will not accept
Brotherhood, or promise that the kingdom will not thrive in his
37. life time. It is a common parlance for people in Southeasten
Nigeria to say that in as much as God is eternal, Ekpe
masquerade or traditional culture will enjoy equal perpetuity.
Such illusions have long been voided by the emergence of the
Holy Spirit. He is the one who has destroyed all principalities
and powers.
Therefore any person who claims to be powerful in
Brotherhood is a prophet of doom. And any person who claims
that the Father uses him tremendously to do wonders does
not know himself. The Father uses no person; but he does
everything by Himself. He saves us by grace.
All powers that are acquired have been destroyed. It is
only the Almighty God who reigns.
It is the height of blasphemy for any person to claim to be
powerful or wise in anyway. God is the only powerful and Wise
Being. Our duty is to thank God for His mercies, love, and
grace.
Any person who extorts money from his fellow man on the
claims that the person extorted would not have survived but
for the power of the extortioner, is a liar. Do not attribute
anything to yourself. God is responsible for everything. Not
even the angels are responsible for anything in this kingdom.
All the prophets of old and our fathers of old had hoped in
this kingdom and power. This they never saw. This is indeed
the luckiest generation. Individuals and groups have
undertaken to conduct researches into Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star, yet they have come up with no cogent findings.
How can people research into a phenomenon they know
nothing of?
I have never attended any institution of learning or any church.
I have never been a member of any organization. This is the
38. new heaven and the new earth which the disciples of Our Lord
Jesus Christ awaited.
Many traditions such as killing of twins, selling people
into slavery, sacrificing onto idols, and all other similar
practices have faded away. Others who had written to India for
one form of power or the other have been referred to 34 Ambo,
Calabar, Nigeria, as the power depot. In recent past, some
groups in Calabar and at Effiat Mbo in Akwa Ibom State in
Nigeria went to sacrifice unto idols. There, the people were
referred to 34 Ambo for salvation and solution to their
problems. Refer to the Second Lesson again.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: HEBREWS 6:4-6
“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened,
and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers
of the Holy Ghost. And have tasted the good word of God, and
the powers of the world to come. If they shall fall away, to
renew them again unto repentance, seeing they crucify to
themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open
shame.”
THE WORLD’S RULER HAS ARRIVED:
Can you realize the irony in the world today, how men
have branded God as Juju and Beelzebub? Go to homes,
villages, and church denominations and ask those who call
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star a vampire and Beelzebub
organization, and those who claim that we worship that a man.
Where will these people run to for salvation? This nature of
love, peace, prosperity, and salvation have never arrived on
the planet earth. God has come down to solve all our problems
and give salvation yet the world is calling Him all sorts of
39. names.
These people are crucifying the Lord a Second time on the
cross. Whoever perishes; his blood is upon his head. Nowhere
is salvation found other than in Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star. Any person who having been called into this kingdom,
and backslides, should know that he is doomed and
condemned.
Our Lord Jesus Christ came, and He was not allowed to
stay a little longer. The Israelites shouted in unison that He
should be crucified. Even when Pilate said that he found no
guilt in Him, they were unanimous in their resolve that the Lord
be crucified. They even said that they were ready to have His
blood upon their heads and also on their children’s children.
That was for that generation. That was the last time they had
their way. THE FATHER HAS NOW COME TO REIGN WITH
POWER.
The punishment that awaits the disobedient ones it so
great. Read Isaiah 2:1-End, and you will see all the promises
made by God.
1 “The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning
Judah and Jerusalem.
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the
mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top
of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all
nations shall flow unto it.
3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go
up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of
Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his
paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the
LORD from Jerusalem.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke
many people: and they shall beat their swords into
40. plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall
not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war
any more.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of
the LORD.
6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of
Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are
soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in
the children of strangers.
7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there
any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses,
neither is there any end of their chariots:
8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of
their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man
humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of
the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the
haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone
shall be exalted in that day.
12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one
that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and
he shall be brought low:
13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and
lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills
that are lifted up,
15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant
pictures.
17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the
41. haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone
shall be exalted in that day.
18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the
caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his
majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his
idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship,
to the moles and to the bats;
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the
ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his
majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for
wherein is he to be accounted of?”
The world calls Brotherhood of the Cross and Star a
vampire or Beelzebub organization, yet their problems are
solved here and their juju destroyed. However they have not
sat down to think of such a phenomenon that heals sickness,
solves problems and destroys their idols. It is not sensible that
they should follow after this phenomenon? If you do not repent
now from blaspheming against Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star, you stand condemned. But all those who accept Him as
God will see peace, prosperity, and eternal life. God cannot
litigate against you. Who after all will preside as the judge?
Therefore His own case there is no appeal, and it is in fact
better you do not offend God.
The Israelites who rejected Our Lord Jesus Christ have
today accepted Olumba Olumba Obu. Many church
denominations the world over have elected for Brotherhood of
the Cross and Star. The field is now ripe for harvest. What is
needed now are laborers. All hands therefore have to be on
42. deck. This new heaven and new earth has no place for thieves,
occultist, unbelievers, murderers, idolators, fornicators, and
other evildoers. God has come with love, peace, unity, and
salvation. All knees have to bow unto Him, and every tongue
sing His praises.
In 1948 a certain white man testified about the presence
of the Holy Spirit in the world; and whose name is Olumba
Olumba Obu. People started to investigate since then and until
now, they have not seen anything or come out with any result.
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is not a conventional
institution of learning, or a church denomination, or a prayer
house, or a healing home. It is the kingdom of God wherein
dwells righteousness. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
dwells there in. There are neither sorrows nor pains. A greater
percentage of the world has seen and accepted this kingdom
and glory. But only a negligible portion, consisting of the
children of perdition, have not. They are the decedents of
Lucifer.
It is God who is manifesting His presence all over the
world, including South Africa. He is worthy of being praised
and glorified. It is not Nelson Mandela or the ANC that is
responsible for the liberation of South Africa. The power is
not from any man but from God, and it is the only power which
works and reigns. Therefore do not direct God’s glory or
praises to man. Do not convert this glory into hatred, anger,
fornication, murder, or any vice.
God has come down to dwell with man because of His
great love. Many nations are now uniting into one economic
and political block. God wants unity, love, peace, and all the
other virtues. He has come to consume every evil. God is a
consuming fire. We have every cause to accept God, and serve
Him diligently. He has come to save all those who accept Him.
43. Those who glory in their idols, societies and churches, are
having hard times in life. Their idols are equally burnt away.
You are not therefore charged to go and tell the world that
Olumba Olumba Obu is God or is a prophet or anything or that
sort. Go and tell the world the truth, love, peace and unity and
all the good things you have seen here. Tell them that the
Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit has come to transform the
world. Read the Golden Text again
GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 5:18
“For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one
jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be
fulfilled.”
THE FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY:
My aspiration is not to be known, praised, or dignified. My
aspiration is to unify the world into one love, peace, and
righteousness. It does not consist in shouting peace, and
confessing that the Leader is wonderful, is God and so on and
so forth. What is needed is righteousness and the ability to
practice the words as preached by the Leader. Note that Adam
and Eve and all the Patriarchs of old are here on earth. A time
comes when all these people shall be revealed for you to know
who you are and who the other person is.
WHATEVER NAME A PERSON ANSWERS, OR GARMENT
HE PUTS ON, DOES NOT MATTER TO ME. WHAT MATTERS IS
RIGHTEOUSNESS. WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY IS THE
FULFILLMENT OF THE PROPHECY THAT THE KINGDOMS OF
THIS WORLD HAVE BECOME THE KINGDOM OF JEHOVAH GOD
AND HIS CHRIST, AND HE SHALL REIGN AND REIGN
FOREVER. HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO SHALL REIGN, AND
SHALL HAVE US CHANGED WITHIN THE TWINKLING OF AN
44. EYE. IT IS NOT WRITTEN THAT OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU SHALL
CHANGE MAN. WE SHOULD BE ORDERLY AND JUST IN OUR
UTTERANCES AND BEHAVIOR. IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT
WORKS.
The diversity in faith and religion is unnecessary and will
soon disappear if we love one another. Wars, oppression, and
cheating would cease if we love one another, and know that
we are all one.
Many churches now adopt various practices as done in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Many denominations now
observe fasting; and they celebrate feast. They put on white,
tie girdles and do many other similar things. THE ROMAN
CATHOLIC CHURCH FOR INSTANCE HAS BEEN ORDERED
FROM THE HEADQUARTERS TO OBSERVE FASTING ON EVERY
THURSDAY. WHAT A DISCOVERY! ARE THEY NOT TOWING
OUR LINE? IF ALL THESE THINGS WILL BE OBSERVED
STRICTLY, THEN WE ARE MOVING TOWARDS THE
REALIZATION OF THE WORD OF GOD WHICH SAYS THAT
THERE WILL BE ONE FOLD AND ONE SHEPHERD.
Only carnal tendencies divide men. You must have been
aware of the revelation made by the Father through brethren
like Professor Assasu Inyang Ibom, Deaconess J. Etop, among
others that after 1995 all churches will be unified into one.
There is even a newly converted Brother who testified that he
had eighteen churches and he had promised to merge them as
one; and hand them over to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.
It is the Holy Spirit who is at work.
It is said that a stroke of the cane is sufficient for the
wise. Let those who have ears hear what the Holy Spirit has
imparted to the world. May God bless His Holy Words- Amen.
THANK YOU FATHER.
