THE MANTLE OF LEADERESHIP OF
THE NEW ERA
WHO WOULD NOT FEAR THEE, O KING OF NATIONS?
JER 10:7
Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his
thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD
OF LORDS.
Mat 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of
Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there
came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Mat 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the
Jews? for we have seen his STAR in the east, and
are come to worship him.
2. Rev 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said,
Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto
me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Rev 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha
and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give
unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water
of life freely.
Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things;
and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Psa_47:6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing
praises unto our King, sing praises.
Psa_89:18 For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy
One of Israel is our king.
Isa_33:22 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our
lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.
Rev 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still:
and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he
that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he
that is holy, let him be holy still.
Rev 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my
reward is with me, to give every man according as
his work shall be.
Rev 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the end, the first and the last.
3. Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped
in blood: and his name is called THE WORD OF
GOD.
Rev 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven
followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine
linen, white and clean.
Rev 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify
unto you these things in the churches. I am the
root and the offspring of David, and the bright and
MORNING STAR.
4. Act 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of
a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of
persons:
Act 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him,
and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
Eph 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time
past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called
Uncircumcision by that which is called the
Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ,
being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and
strangers from the covenants of promise, having
no hope, and without God in the world:
Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who
sometimes were far off are made nigh by the
blood of Christ.
Eph 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made
both one, and hath broken down the middle
wall of partition between us;
Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers
and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints,
and of the household of God;
5. Eph 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the
apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being
the chief corner stone;
Eph 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed
together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
Eph 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an
habitation of God through the Spirit.
Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a
white horse; and he that sat upon him was called
Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth
judge and make war.
Rev 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on
his head were many crowns; and he had a name
written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped
in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Rev 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven
followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine
linen, white and clean.
Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword,
that with it he should smite the nations: and he
shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth
the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of
Almighty God.
Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his
thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD
OF LORDS.
6. Joh 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is
expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not
away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if
I depart, I will send him unto you.
Joh 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the
world of sin, and of righteousness, and of
judgment:
Joh 16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
Joh 16:10 Of righteousness, because I go to my
Father, and ye see me no more;
Joh 16:11 Of judgment, because the prince of this
world is judged.
Joh 16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you,
but ye cannot bear them now.
Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is
come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall
not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear,
that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to
come.
Joh 16:14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of
mine, and shall shew it unto you.
Joh 16:15 All things that the Father hath are mine:
therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and
shall shew it unto you.
Joh 16:16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and
again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I
go to the Father.
Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
7. Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall
give you another Comforter, that he may abide
with you for ever;
Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world
cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither
knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth
with you, and shall be in you.
Joh 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will
come to you.
Joh 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me
no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall
live also.
Joh 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my
Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
Act 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of
a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of
persons:
Act 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him,
and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
Act 10:36 The word which God sent unto the
children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus
Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
Act 10:37 That word, I say, ye know, which was
published throughout all Judaea, and began from
Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Act 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with
the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about
8. doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of
the devil; for God was with him.
Act 10:39 And we are witnesses of all things which
he did both in the land of the Jews, and in
Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
Act 10:40 Him God raised up the third day, and
shewed him openly;
Act 10:41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses
chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and
drink with him after he rose from the dead.
Act 10:42 And he commanded us to preach unto the
people, and to testify that it is he which was
ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
Act 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that
through his name whosoever believeth in him shall
receive remission of sins.
Act 10:44 While Peter yet spake these words, the
Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
Act 10:45 And they of the circumcision which
believed were astonished, as many as came with
Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was
poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Act 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues,
and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
Act 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these
should not be baptized, which have received the
Holy Ghost as well as we?
9. Act 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in
the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to
tarry certain days.
PAUL’S SPEECH AT MARS HILL, ATHENS
Act 17:22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill,
and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all
things ye are too superstitious.
Act 17:23 For as I passed by, and beheld your
devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO
THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye
ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
Act 17:24 God that made the world and all things
therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth,
dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Act 17:25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands,
as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to
all life, and breath, and all things;
Act 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of
men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and
hath determined the times before appointed, and
the bounds of their habitation;
Act 17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply
they might feel after him, and find him, though he
be not far from every one of us:
10. Act 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our
being; as certain also of your own poets have said,
For we are also his offspring.
Act 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of
God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like
unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and
man's device.
Act 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God
winked at; but now commandeth all men every
where to repent:
Act 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the
which he will judge the world in righteousness by
that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath
given assurance unto all men, in that he hath
raised him from the dead.
Act 17:32 And when they heard of the resurrection
of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We
will hear thee again of this matter.
Act 17:33 So Paul departed from among them.
Act 17:34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and
believed: among the which was Dionysius the
Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and
others with them.
11. THE ONLY HOPE FOR MAN
Joh 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou
hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell
whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every
one that is born of the Spirit.
Joh 3:9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him,
How can these things be?
Joh 3:10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art
thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these
things?
Joh 3:11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak
that we do know, and testify that we have seen;
and ye receive not our witness.
Joh 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye
believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of
heavenly things?
Joh 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven,
but he that came down from heaven, even the Son
of man which is in heaven.
JOH 3:14 AND AS MOSES LIFTED UP THE SERPENT IN THE
WILDERNESS, EVEN SO MUST THE SON OF MAN BE
LIFTED UP:
JOH 3:15 THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD
NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in
him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
12. Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to
condemn the world; but that the world through him
might be saved.
Recall that when Moses moulded a serpent and hung
it on a tree for the people to look upon whenever
they were bitten by the deadly snakes, it was only
those who obeyed that were saved and those who
did not were destroyed. THEREFORE, IN THIS
PRESENT AGE, OF THE MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE WHO
WILL LISTEN TO THIS GOSPEL AND COMPLY WITH
IT ARE SAVED AND THE LIGHT OF GOD SHALL
SHINE UPON THEM.
WHEREVER YOUR TREASURE IS, THERE LIES YOUR
MIND. IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT YOUR DAILY
SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION AND INTEREST REST ON
MONEY, JUJU, CHARMS, WOMEN, POLITICS, CARS,
CLOTHING, FOOD, AND OTHER MATERIAL THINGS.
HOW THEN WILL GOD BE PLEASED?

Excerpt from: HE WHO IS TO RULE
13. DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY ANYBODY WHO MAY RISE
TOMORROW AND CLAIM TO BE THE CHIEF PRIEST.
Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you
another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot
receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him:
but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in
you.
Joh 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to
you.
Col 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages
and from generations, but now is made manifest to his
saints:
Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the
riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles;
WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY:
*STOP GAZING AT THE SKY, IMAGINING HIS LIKENESS.
HAVE YOU NOT SEEN HIS LIKENESS WITHIN YOU.
So He alone is worthy, and He is the only Chief
Priest. And forever He remains the only Chief Priest,
and none will ever emerge again. SO YOU SHOULD
NOT BE DECEIVED BY ANYBODY WHO MAY RISE
TOMORROW AND CLAIM TO BE THE CHIEF PRIEST.
For Our Lord Jesus Christ has taken His glorious
throne, and His glory has neither beginning nor an
14. end. He is the Great Teacher who has taken
everybody to His Father.
I have been telling you to stop gazing at the sky,
imagining His likeness. HAVE YOU NOT SEEN HIS
LIKENESS WITHIN YOU. EVEN IN YOUR BEDROOM
HE IS ALWAYS CONVERSING DEEPLY WITH YOU. IN
THE PAST, MANY PEOPLE DID NOT SEE HIM, TALK
LESS OF CONVERSING WITH HIM. But now you have
seen Him, you do not see Him while sailing on the
river or flying in the sky alone, but you see Him
wherever you go. Then what is the sense of doubting
Him?

EXCERPT FROM: HE WHO IS TO RULE
THE AFRICAN STRUGGLE FOR INDEPENDENCE
When the whites came to Africa they saw our people
and everything they did as crude and uncivilized.
Therefore they had to replace all the indigenous
governments and institutions with theirs. Before
long, Africans began to protest against the
15. colonialist and their system. They agitated for
independence. The struggle to free themselves from
the yoke of colonialism and bondage intensified and
many African countries were later granted political
independence. THE QUESTION NOW IS, HAS THAT
INDEPENDENCE BROUGHT PEACE AND PROGRESS TO THE
AFRICANS? HAS THE STRUGGLE FOR LIBERATION AND
DOMINATION CEASED?
There are coups and counter coups, secessions and
tribal wars in Africa in particular and in the world in
general. Those either appointed or voted into the
various political offices have never lived up to
expectation. THIS IS BECAUSE THEY NEITHER KNOW GOD
NOR HIS LAWS. THEY DO NOT LOVE HIM. WHEN A BLIND
MAN LEADS ANOTHER BLIND MAN, BOTH WILL FALL INTO A
DITCH.
WE HAVE A FATHER AND A RULER WHO IS JUST AND
CARING, YET MAN HAS REJECTED HIM. HE IS THE ONE
WHO HAS ENJOINED YOU NOT CALL ANYBODY FATHER OR
LORD FOR HE IS THE ONLY FATHER AND LORD. WE ARE
BRETHREN AND DERIVE OUR ORIGIN FROM HIM. Christ
said, "I am the vine, and my Father is the husband
man. Every branch in me that beareth not the fruit he
taketh away; and every branch that bearth fruit he
16. purgeth it that it may bring forth more fruit." (John
15:1-2).
ONE OF OUR SPIRITUAL CHORUSES RENDERED IN IGBO
HAS IT THAT A TREE THAT BLOSSOMS AND YIELDS GOOD
FRUIT IS BEING WATERED BY SOMEONE. THEREFORE
ANYBODY WHO REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE HIS CREATOR IS
CONDEMNED.
Right from the time of Adam and Eve man has never
accepted God. Man has always given high regards
and recognition to material things. THAT IS A GREAT
INSULT TO GOD. WHOEVER ADVISES YOU NOW TO PUT
YOUR FAITH AND TRUST IN MAN IS ILL ADVISING YOU AND
SUCH A PERSON SHOULD PRAY FERVENTLY FOR HIMSELF.
The scripture has said that: NONE SHOULD HAVE
FAITH IN A MAN WHO BREATHS THROUGH HIS NOSTRILS.
IS IT NOT A GOOD TIME FOR MANKIND TO LOVE GOD, TO
OBEY AND ADORE HIM SO THAT PEACE MAY ABOUND?
There is nothing anybody can do for his fellow man.
When Pilate asked Christ a series of questions
before His crucifixion, He rebuffed when Pilate told
Him that he had power to either set Him free or
condemn Him. He retorted that Pilate himself had no
authority to do anything except such power was
given to him from above.

17. LET YOUR LIFESTYLE REVEAL GOD TO THE WORLD.
YOU ARE DUTY BOUND TO SPREAD THE GOOD
TIDINGS OF THIS KINGDOM TO EVERY NOOK AND
CRANNY OF THE WORLD. FAILURE TO SPREAD THE
GOSPELS ACCOUNTS FOR THE REASON WHY YOU
FAIL GENERALLY IN LIFE. IN DISSEMINATING THE
WORD OF GOD, DO NOT PREACH ABOUT MAN,
MONEY, CHURCH, WEALTH, JUJU; RATHER YOU
ARE TO PREACH ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
TELL THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD THAT THE
KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD HAVE BECOME THE
KINGDOM OF OUR GOD AND OF HIS CHRIST. THUS
PUTTING AN END TO ALL FORMS OF DIVISION,
RANCOR, VIOLENCE, ENMITY, WAR, OPPRESSION,
DICTATORSHIP, FRAUD AND HARDSHIP.
This marks an end to sin. No one should commit
sin any more. In this kingdom, we are preaching love
and, indeed, oneness. We must not only preach but
we must practice what we preach. This therefore
calls for us to live up to God's desire for mankind. A
local adage states that it is easy to aim but difficult
to shoot. You may say that you are in the kingdom
but are you sure that you have done all that is
required of you before you qualify to inherit this
kingdom?
You are supposed to practice love which is
the will of God for all those who should inherit this
kingdom. Aside from this you are deceiving yourself.
18. This love should not be projected as a church,
prayer-house, school, club, market, etc. Rather it
should be made to form a perfect patch of our
lifestyle. It should be clearly seen in us so that all
they that see us or hear about us, or even come by
us, may truly know us as children of God.
WE SHOULD ALL CRAVE TO BE LIKE OUR FATHER
SO THAT THE SCRIPTURES MIGHT BE FULFILLED;
FOR IT IS RECORDED IN (1 JOHN 3:2) “BELOVED,
NOW ARE WE THE SONS OF GOD, AND IT DOTH NOT
YET 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 IS.”
Today have you seen Him? Is He not an embodiment
of love? If indeed He is; are you like Him? Have you
revealed Him as love, peace, charity, mercy, truth,
meekness, humility, and goodness to the people of
the world?
EXCEPT YOU REVEAL YOUR FATHER TO THE
PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, THEY WILL NOT KNOW
HIM. DIFFERENTLY PUT, LET YOUR LIFESTYLE
REVEAL GOD TO THE WORLD. IF YOU HAVE NOT
DONE THIS THEN YOU ARE TOYING WITH YOUR
MANDATE.
In this kingdom, you are told that PEACE is used in
greeting one another. How can this peace reign
when many have not known nor heard about God?
19. Let the people know God as love, peace, joy,
oneness and the veritable truth.
Brotherhood is unique. It is different from the things
and gathering or associations you have known
before.
Recall that the church, healing homes; healing,
prophesying, and preaching the gospel had long
existed before this period or even before this present
time. Even the payment of tithes and freewill offering
have since been done.

AFRICA’S TURN TO HOST THE HOLY SPIRIT
Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers
and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints,
and of the household of God;
Eph 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the
apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being
the chief corner stone;
Eph 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed
together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
Eph 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an
habitation of God through the Spirit.
Brotherhood is enjoyed in America so much that the
whites sent an emissary to come and take me to
America. They did not just want me to visit America
20. but that I should come and establish my
Headquarters there. They promised to give me
money houses and the glory I deserve. They added
that it is very shameful that the headquarters of
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, the new Kingdom
of God, should be in Africa and not in America, in
spite of the fact that they brought Christianity to
Africa.
Having listened to all their pleas I told them that I
cannot go with them to establish this Kingdom in
America, and that this is Africa’s turn to host the
Holy Spirit. I told them that I have no need for the
cars, money and in fact, all the things they promised
me. I told them that I cannot mortgage Africa's turn
of hosting the Holy Spirit to America for sentiment. I
then advised them that they should be coming; and
in fact, partake fully in the activities of the kingdom,
being that Brotherhood is a universal kingdom.
Today there is no gainsaying that the Americans
know Brotherhood much more than the Blacks. The
whites do not toy with this fold.
HAVING BEEN GIVEN THIS CHANCE TO HOST THE
FATHER, IT IS THE DUTY OF THE BLACKS AND
INDEED THAT OF ALL AND SUNDRY WHO HAVE HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEARKEN TO THIS CALL TO
SPREAD THE GOOD TIDINGS OF THIS KINGDOM
WHICH BORDERS ON LOVE AND ONENESS. THE
21. BLACKS, HITHERTO, WERE VIEWED AS AN INFERIOR
RACE SUCH THAT NOTHING GOOD WAS EXPECTED
TO ORIGINATE FROM IT; BUT TODAY EVENTS HAVE
BEEN REVERSED, THE BLACK IS NOW A VERY
SERIOUS RACE TO RECKON WITH. I HAVE EXALTED
THE BLACK RACE. And for the whites, they must
team up to do this work. They are billed to finance
the activities of this kingdom.
I know that the blacks do not have the means to
sponsor the growth of the works in the kingdom but
the Father, at the appointed time will bring the
whites to sponsor it. This notwithstanding, do not sit
at a place with your hands folded, waiting for the
whites to come and do everything for you. Wake up
from your slumber and do something in appreciation
of what the Father has done for mankind. Rise up to
the challenge of taking this gospel of love to all the
nooks and crannies of the world.

I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL
FORGIVE THEIR SIN, AND WILL HEAL THEIR
LAND.
Jer 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not
in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct
his steps.
Jer 10:24 O LORD, correct me, but with judgment;
not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
22. 2Ch 7:13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or
if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I
send pestilence among my people;
2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name,
shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my
face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I
hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and
will heal their land.
2Ch 7:15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine
ears attend unto the prayer that is made in this
place.
1Pe 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having
compassion one of another, love as brethren, be
pitiful, be courteous:
1Pe 3:9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for
railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye
are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a
blessing.
1Pe 3:10 For he that will love life, and see good
days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his
lips that they speak no guile:
1Pe 3:11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him
seek peace, and ensue it.
1Pe 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the
righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers:
23. but the face of the Lord is against them that do
evil.
1Pe 3:13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be
followers of that which is good?
1Pe 3:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake,
happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror,
neither be troubled;
1Pe 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to every
man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in
you with meekness and fear:
1Pe 3:16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas
they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be
ashamed that falsely accuse your good
conversation in Christ.
1Pe 3:17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that
ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
1Pe 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins,
the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to
God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened
by the Spirit:
LEADERSHIP BY EXAMPLE
Luk 22:22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was
determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is
betrayed!
24. Luk 22:23 And they began to enquire among
themselves, which of them it was that should do
this thing.
Luk 22:24 And there was also a strife among them,
which of them should be accounted the greatest.
Luk 22:25 And he said unto them, The kings of the
Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that
exercise authority upon them are called
benefactors.
Luk 22:26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is
greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and
he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
Luk 22:27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at
meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at
meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
Luk 22:28 Ye are they which have continued with
me in my temptations.
Luk 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my
Father hath appointed unto me;
Luk 22:30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in
my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve
tribes of Israel.
THE TOOLS OF LEADERSHIP USED BY THE FATHER
Here, equality is the order of the day and peace
reigns supreme. The opposite is the case in the
worldly kingdom. They fight, quarrel, cheat, oppress,
25. dictate, victimize and embezzle. IN THIS KINGDOM,
THE TOOLS OF LEADERSHIP USED BY THE FATHER
ARE HUMILITY, LOVE, PEACE, MEEKNESS,
GENTLENESS, LONG SUFFERING, PATIENCE,
GOODNESS AMONG OTHER VIRTUES. HE DOES NOT
DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ANYBODY. ALL ARE GIVEN
EQUAL AND FAIR TREATMENT. THE BLIND, DEAF,
DUMB, LAME, POOR, NEEDY, OPPRESSED ARE ALL
INVITED TO SHARE IN THE JOY OF THIS KINGDOM.
An end has been brought to war, anger, hunger,
mourning, division and indeed suffering or hardship
of any form. And since you have hearkened to this
call, you are expected to be charitable in everything
you do as your token of love for one another; and you
should take after your Father. A deviation from this
love accounts for the problems of mankind.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...
NO MORE ARE WE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANY
OTHER POWER BUT THE POWER OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT. Have you not seen the extensive work which
God has used mankind to accomplish? But it is
rather unfortunate that man attributes the glory of
the work which God has used us to accomplish to
himself. This to a large extent amounts to
ingratitude.
26. We have failed in our duties of giving thanks
to God for all that He has done for us where as God
has not failed in any of His promises to us.
RECALL THAT IT WAS SAID THAT THOSE WHO
CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE
SAVED. IS THIS NOT THE CASE TODAY? HAVE YOU
MET DISAPPOINTMENT HAVING CALLED UPON THE
NAME OF THE LORD? YET HE HAS NEVER CHARGED
A FEE FOR THE THINGS HE HAS BEEN DOING FOR
US.
The problems facing mankind emanate from
the fact that we do things which are at variance with
the injunctions of God. We have to love everybody
even as Our Lord Jesus Christ loves us. Failure to do
this means that we have failed in our duties.
Here in this kingdom, WE HAVE JUST ONE
BEING LEADING, TEACHING, CHANGING AND
DIRECTING. He is THE HOLY SPIRIT HIMSELF; AND
NONE OTHER THAN THE HOLY SPIRIT IS EXPECTED
TO PERFORM THESE FUNCTIONS; AND IF YOU DO,
THEN YOU ARE ENCROACHING ON HIS TERRITORY.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS SPIRIT IT MEANS
YOU HAVE NO GOD
*NO MATTER WHAT YOU MAY DO, IF YOU ARE NOT
BORN OF WATER, BLOOD AND SPIRIT, YOU HAVE
27. NO SALVATION. OR SIMPLY PUT, THERE IS NO
OTHER WAY ONE CAN BE SAVED EXCEPT HE IS
BORN OF WATER, BLOOD AND SPIRIT.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: LUKE 23:46
"And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he
said, Father into thy hands I commend my spirit: and
having said thus, he gave up the ghost."
THE SPIRIT IDENTIFIES ONE AS GOD:
WHO IS GOD AND WHO IS THE SON? GOD IS SPIRIT
AND THE SON IS THAT SPIRIT AS WELL. IN THEIR
IGNORANCE, THE JEWS THREW STONES AT OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST WHEN HE SAID, "I AND MY
FATHER ARE ONE." THIS EXPLAINS THAT THOUGH
JESUS CAME AS THE CHRIST, HE WAS ALSO THE
FATHER, FOR THE SPIRIT IS ONE. IF YOU DO NOT
HAVE THIS SPIRIT IT MEANS YOU HAVE NO GOD.
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ACCOMPLISHED HIS
ASSIGNMENT BECAUSE HE HAD THIS SPIRIT IN HIM.
WITHOUT THIS SPIRIT HE WOULD NOT HAVE DONE
HIS WORK SUCCESSFULLY.
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS SPIRIT IS NOT MEANT FOR
ALL THE PEOPLE TO POSSESS. IT IS ONLY FOR THE
CHILDREN OF GOD. THIS IS WHY THEY
ACCOMPLISH THEIR ASSIGNMENT SUCCESSFULLY.
THE WORLDLY PEOPLE CANNOT ACCOMPLISH THE
28. WORK OF GOD. THE SPIRIT POSSESSED BY THE
WORLDLY PEOPLE IS THE ADAMIC SPIRIT. THIS IS
THE SPIRIT OF DISOBEDIENCE. THE POSSESSION
OF THIS SPIRIT IS THE CAUSE OF THE WHOLE
PROBLEM FACING HUMANITY TODAY.
The worldly people are insisting that the power in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is not from God.
BUT THEY HAVE FAILED TO REALIZE THAT GOD IS
THE ONLY POWER THAT RULES ALL BEINGS. THEY
DO NOT KNOW THAT WHEN GOD COMES TO DWELL
WITH MAN, HE BECOMES A MAN BUT HE IS HIDDEN
FROM THE ORDINARY EYES. THE ONLY WAY OF
IDENTIFYING GOD IS BY THE SPIRIT. Even when
Andrew told his brother Simon Peter that they have
found the Messiah, even the Christ, it was the spirit
that revealed him.
"One of the two which heard John speak and
followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He
first findeth his own brother Simon and saith unto
him, we have found the Messiah, which is being
interpreted, the Christ." (JOHN 1:40-41).
It is written that: "AND THERE ARE THREE THAT
BEAR WITNESS IN THE EARTH, THE SPIRIT, THE
WATER AND THE BLOOD: AND THESE THREE AGREE
IN ONE." (1 JOHN 5:8).
29. In heaven there are three that also unite to become
one: "FOR THERE ARE THREE THAT BEAR RECORD
IN HEAVEN, THE FATHER, THE WORD AND THE
HOLY GHOST: AND THESE THREE ARE ONE. AND
THERE ARE THREE THAT BEAR WITNESS ON EARTH,
THE SPIRIT, THE WATER AND THE BLOOD: AND
THESE THREE AGREE IN ONE." (1 JOHN 5:7-8).
WHOEVER HAS THESE QUALITIES IS TRULY GOD.
DO NOT BOTHER TO VISIT MECCA, JERUSALEM,
AMERICA OR ANY OTHER PLANE OR CONTINENT IN
SEARCH OF GOD; FOR IF THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS NOT
IN YOU, YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING. HE IS THE
ONLY ONE WHO CAN USE YOU TO FULFILL ANY
ASSIGNMENT.
Everything that happened to Our Lord Jesus Christ
was a fulfillment of all the prophesies about Him.
Even as Simon prophesied that a sword shall pierce
through Him, it happened accordingly.
It was said that water and blood shall gush out of his
side. It also came to pass. The fulfillment of these
prophesies proved Him as Christ. It should be noted
that if the water and blood did not pass out of His
side, our iniquities could not have been washed
away. THE DEATH OF CHRIST HAS THEREFORE
LEFT A FOUNTAIN OF WATER WHEREBY WE ALL
BATHE FOR THE REMISSION OF OUR SINS. IT MAY
30. BE INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT IT WAS ALSO FOR
THIS REASON THAT JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS
ASKED TO BAPTIZE WITH WATER.
THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER BAPTISM STRESSED:
Henceforth, do not have the erroneous belief that
baptism shall cease to be. BAPTISM BY IMMERSION
SHALL REMAIN FOREVER. It is a source of salvation
for humanity. If your sins and iniquities are not
washed away, then you will die with your sins intact.
Through faith and baptism, your sins are forgiven and
having been washed with the blood of Christ, the
Holy Spirit which is life comes into you.
Water and blood and spirit are one. When you are
dipped in water by way of baptism, it means you are
buried with Christ and when you emerge, you are
emerging with life.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU MAY DO, IF YOU ARE NOT
BORN OF WATER, BLOOD AND SPIRIT, YOU HAVE
NO SALVATION. OR SIMPLY PUT, THERE IS NO
OTHER WAY ONE CAN BE SAVED EXCEPT HE IS
BORN OF WATER, BLOOD AND SPIRIT. A LOT OF
PEOPLE DO NOT TAKE THIS BAPTISM SERIOUSLY.
THEY DO NOT EVEN REGARD THE CONFESSION OF
SINS AS ANYTHING IMPORTANT IN LIFE. THE
CHURCHES DO NOT STRESS THIS EXERCISE AS A
VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF WORSHIP. HOWEVER,
31. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST EMPHASIZED ON ITS
IMPORTANCE BY SAYING THAT UNLESS ONE IS
BORN OF WATER AND OF SPIRIT, SUCH CANNOT
ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
WHEREVER YOU MAY GO, IF THE WORD OF GOD IS
NOT DISCUSSED AND BAPTISM IS NOT TAKEN
SERIOUSLY, AS WELL AS CONFESSION OF SINS,
THEN DEPART FROM SUCH A PLACED FOR THE
HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT DWELL THEREIN.
EVEN WHEN YOU ENTER A BETHEL, IF YOU FIND NO
HOLY OIL, AND WATER THERE, THEN KNOW THAT
GOD IS NOT IN SUCH A BETHEL. WHEREVER YOU
GO AND YOU DO NOT FIND THE WORD OF GOD,
WATER AND HOLY OIL, THEN DEPART FROM THAT
PLACE FOR THE PEOPLE THERE DO NOT KNOW
WHAT THEY ARE DOING. THESE THREE THINGS
BEAR WITNESS TO THE FACT THAT GOD IS
PRESENT IN SUCH A PLACE.
These three things are the main weapon used in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. THE HOLY OIL
SIGNIFIES THE BLOOD OF GOD (CHRIST). THIS IS
WHAT IS USED IN FORGIVING ALL YOUR SINS AND
INIQUITIES. THE WATER IS USED IN WASHING AND
CLEANING ALL FILTHINESS AND ONE BECOMES
SANCTIFIED.
32. BAPTISM IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND
STAR IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THE
CHURCHES AND CULTS DO ALL OVER THE WORLD.
FOR THIS REASON ONE MUST BE BAPTISED AGAIN
INTO BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR
THOUGH ONE MAY HAVE BEEN BAPTISED SEVERAL
TIMES ELSEWHERE. HERE YOU MUST CONFESS AND
REPENT OF ALL YOUR SINS BEFORE BAPTISM.
ONCE YOU CONFESS, REPENT AND YOU ARE
BAPTISED YOU HAVE BECOME A DIFFERENT
PERSON. YOUR SALVATION HERE STARTS THE
VERY DAY YOU ARE BAPTISED. THIS IS SO
BECAUSE YOU ARE FIRST GIVEN THE WORDS OF
GOD BEFORE YOUR CONFESSION. WITHOUT
PASSING THROUGH THIS WAY, YOU ARE WASTING
YOUR TIME. THAT IS WHY THE CHURCHES ARE
NOW EMPTY. THEY DO NOT PASS THROUGH THE
RIGHT WAY TO GOD AND SO THEY SCATTER
BECAUSE OF NOT HAVING RECEIVED THE HOLY
SPIRIT, THEY HAVE NO LIFE
There are very many persons in the world who have
their shares in this kingdom but they cannot receive
them yet because they are not born of water, blood,
and Holy Spirit. There are many others who claim to
be baptized but have neither their sins remitted nor
the Holy Spirit in them. Their baptism is just like
having an ordinary bath in the stream or river. It can
only become meaningful only when they are anointed
33. with the Holy Oil which signifies the blood of Christ.
Once you are anointed after baptism, the Holy Spirit
takes possession of your body and you are admitted
into the kingdom of God.
SOMETIMES YOU FAST AND PRAY YET THE HOLY SPIRIT
DOES NOT MANIFEST. THIS IS BECAUSE YOU DID NOT
START WITH CONFESSION OF SINS AND THE SPRINKLING
OF WATER AND HOLY OIL.

EXCERPT FROM MYSTERY OF PROPAGATION
……………………………………………………………………………
THE AFRICANS:
AFRICA IS THE FIRST SON, (GENESIS 27:1). AFRICA
IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD
* TILL THE WORLD COMES TO AN END, NO BLACK
MAN WILL BE APPOINTED THE POPE OR THE
ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY BECAUSE THE
BLACKS DO NOT COMPREHEND WHAT THEY DO.
CAN YOU BECOME THE PROPHET OF MECCA? TILL
THE END OF YOUR DAYS YOU WILL NEVER BECOME
THE PROPHET.
* SO THE SEARCH FOR THE REAL CHRIST
CONTINUES. If you go to meet the Pope he will issue
you with instructions about his doctrines. Are you
34. not still under his yoke? Africa, are you not under a
foreign yoke?
*Our Lord Jesus Christ has kindly set us free
knowing that we worshipped what we did not know.
* IS THERE NO PERSON IN AFRICA WHO HAS FOUND
FAVOR WITH GOD? I WANT YOU AFRICANS TO
QUESTION YOURSELVES ON THIS ISSUE.
* Brethren, do you observe your relative position? It
is for this reason that I shed tears when I look at
you. Any good thing that emerges from amongst you
is down-trodden. What do you want God to do for
you? God is born for us. The promised Comforter, the
Holy Spirit originates from here. He is everything, He
is love, and truth.
* The Holy Spirit has arrived in Africa, He dwells in
Africa. Africa is the first Son, Africa is the Kingdom
of God where there is joy, which is rich in natural
resources, full of honey and milk.
* The one that originates from Africa is not known,
and which is also easily dismissed with a wave of
the hand. SO THE SEARCH FOR THE REAL CHRIST
CONTINUES. If you go to meet the Pope he will issue
you with instructions about his doctrines. Are you
not still under his yoke? Africa, are you not under a
foreign yoke?
35. *Our Lord Jesus Christ has kindly set us free
knowing that we worshipped what we did not know.
*YOU SHOULD GO FORTH TO INFORM THE WHOLE
WORLD. But till today, the Africans are quarrelling
among themselves, and they cannot decipher the
mind of the white man, who indoctrinated them that
what they have which is indigenous, is not good
enough and so they stand separated. Can you boast
of attaining the republicanism?
King James I of England Broke With Rome
You are aware of the fact that hitherto, England
owed her loyalty to Rome and the Pope, and had to
consult with Rome for whatever the people intended
to do. Whoever was to be crowned the King of
England must have the approval of Rome. But when
King James I ascended the throne of England in
1603, he found himself heir to the religious turmoil
and confusion that characterized the entire country.
He knew that if he continued to be loyal to Rome, he
would continue to remain under the Roman
hegemony. King James I, therefore, broke with Rome
and founded the Church of England under the
leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury. With the
new set up, there was no longer any foreign
domination. It is such a country which has attained
36. the real republican status. Go to China today, the
people are independent of other countries, they are
self-sufficient. The same thing happens in other
countries. But all countries in Africa are dependent
on others for religion, government, economy and
other socio-political and economic institutions
because they do not know what they worship.
Upon your claim to high attainment in education,
upon the number of you who study in foreign
countries, the Africans generally have no ideology. I
speak this to your shame. However, the Holy Spirit
has arrived in Africa, He dwells in Africa. Africa is
the first Son, Africa is the Kingdom of God where
there is joy, which is rich in natural resources, full of
honey and milk. You should go forth to inform the
whole world. But till today, the Africans are
quarrelling among themselves, and they cannot
decipher the mind of the white man, who
indoctrinated them that what they have which is
indigenous, is not good enough and so they stand
separated. Can you boast of attaining the
republicanism?
DO YOU MEAN TO ARGUE THAT IT IS NOT THE GOD
WHO CREATED THE RUSSIANS, THE AMERICANS,
THE BRITONS, THE ISRAELITES AND THE ARABIANS
37. WHO CREATED YOU IN AFRICA? DO YOU HAVE
ANOTHER GOD? HAVE YOU SWORN NOT TO BE
INDEPENDENT? DO YOU NOT WANT TO FIND YOUR
FEET ON THE GROUND? IT IS INCUMBENT UPON
YOU TO WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.
What Religion Is Indigenous to Nigeria?
Our Lord Jesus Christ has kindly set us free knowing
that we worshipped what we did not know. What
does it mean to God for your attending church
services? What actually do you go there to do? THE
SO-CALLED BIG MEN sit down there and quarrel and
fight, indulging in all forms of diabology and
committing murder. It therefore stands to reason
that, you do not know what you are worshipping. You
find a few persons founding their church
denominations, others are doing a similar thing and
others are complaining that they have toured around
all the church denominations. Must you continue to
move from one church denomination to the other?
The church denominations always expect that an
important person must come to inspect their
churches from United States of America, or India or
Britain or from any other country. No church
denomination has ever originated from Nigeria. No
important person has ever gone from Africa to the
38. United States of America to inspect his church
denomination there, because the people are very
pessimistic, feeling that God has rejected Africa. Is
there no person in Africa who has found favor with
God? I want you Africans to question yourselves on
this issue.
Africa Must Awake
Can the blind lead the blind? If the blind lead the
blind, will the two of them not fall into a pit? Can you
observe the love which Africans once had with
themselves.
Now is the era of diplomacy, where craftiness, party
spirit, robbery, oppression, grudge are the order of
the day. At present, a brother rebels against a
brother and warns that if he is not a Roman Catholic,
or a Mount Zion, or Apostolic, or Moslem, he should
no longer visit his house. Did your father ever
establish Mohammedanism? Do you know what
obtains in Roman Catholic or Mount Zion, or
Apostolic? Do you not realize that freedom of
speech, freedom of worship, freedom of religion were
enshrined in the Nigerian constitution for your
benefit? What happens now? Three religious
organizations are purportedly recognized in Nigeria.
They are: Roman Catholicism which originates from
39. Rome, Islam which originates from Mecca, and the
Protestant churches which also originate from
Europe. Which is the Nigerian indigenous religion?
The one that originates from Africa is not known, and
which is also easily dismissed with a wave of the
hand. SO THE SEARCH FOR THE REAL CHRIST
CONTINUES. If you go to meet the Pope he will issue
you with instructions about his doctrines. Are you
not still under his yoke? Africa, are you not under a
foreign yoke? Do you know what you are
worshipping? Do you understand what your masters
are doing? Is the Catholic headquarters established
here? Whatever instructions are passed down by the
Prophet or Archbishop of Canterbury or Pope must be
carried out, but we remain without a religion and an
ideology. Since you started attending these foreign
church denominations, has any black man ever been
appointed a Pope? TILL THE WORLD COMES TO AN
END, NO BLACK MAN WILL BE APPOINTED THE
POPE OR THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY
BECAUSE THE BLACKS DO NOT COMPREHEND
WHAT THEY DO. CAN YOU BECOME THE PROPHET
OF MECCA? TILL THE END OF YOUR DAYS YOU WILL
NEVER BECOME THE PROPHET.
40. The Blacks Despise Themselves And What They
Have
Brethren, do you observe your relative position? It is
for this reason that I shed tears when I look at you.
Any good thing that emerges from amongst you is
down-trodden. What do you want God to do for you?
God is born for us. The promised Comforter, the Holy
Spirit originates from here. He is everything, He is
love, and truth. Food and every other thing is found
in abundance. Here there is oneness which is
Brotherhood. Brotherhood regards all the whites,
blacks, coloured, and indeed all the inhabitants of
the world as one.
It is a common thing in the present age to find the
white loving only what is theirs, not minding its
worthlessness but despising what belongs to the
blacks even if it is of a superlative degree. But the
blacks on the other hand love whatever is foreign no
matter how ugly, and despise what is indigenous no
matter how pretty. Is that how to live?

41. POLITICS: GLOBAL UNREST
* FROM 1992, THERE IS GOING TO BE HARDSHIP, TROUBLE
IN THE WORLD BUT THE CHILDREN OF GOD WILL NOT BE
TOUCHED. PUT THE WORD OF GOD FIRST AND FOREMOST
INTO PRACTICE.
GLOBAL POLICE ACTION:
Women now want to become Royal Highneses. Have
you not heard about wars between cities and
countries? The kind of famine that is in the world has
never been witnessed. Orange is now sold for one
naira each; gari sells at one naira a cup. The rate of
sinfulness is very alarming indeed. There is
unemployment, and no matter what you do, no one
appreciates the work or meaning of love. You are
trying to render help and instead of you receiving
thanks you are paid back with a bad coin. No one
can control the rate of crime wave any longer.
The white brethren who claimed to be the best
in knowledge, character and style are now very
empty. There is no money, no work, nothing
anywhere. It is even worse in the European
countries once considered to be advanced and self
sufficient.
42. There is a state of confusion all over the
universe. Who do you think is responsible of all
these happenings?
EVERYDAY, YOU SING, "FATHER SEND DOWN THY
POWER," AND THEY FATHER SAYS GO ALL IS WELL..."
WHEN YOU GO NOTHING IS WELL. WHY IS THIS SO?
PRACTICE THE WORD OF GOD AND ALL WILL BE WELL-
(REV.3:7-12).
SO LONG AS YOU CONTINUE TO WALLOW IN SIN,
WHEN YOU SAY AMEN- WHERE WILL YOU FIND THIS AMEN?
IS THE TRUTH HIDDEN? DO THESE THINGS TAKE YOU
UNAWARE?
A LOT OF THINGS ARE STILL TO BE REVEALED TO
YOU. WHAT IS PREVALENT IN THE WORLD IS MERE POLICE
ACTION ALL OVER THE WORLD.(HEBREWS 12:25-END; LUKE
17:22-24 2PETER 3:8-13).
REAL UNTOLD HARDSHIP:
FROM 1992, THERE IS GOING TO BE HARDSHIP, TROUBLE
IN THE WORLD BUT THE CHILDREN OF GOD WILL NOT BE
TOUCHED. PUT THE WORD OF GOD FIRST AND FOREMOST
INTO PRACTICE.
CAN YOU SEE NOW THAT PEOPLE ARE SEEING THE WHOLE
TRUTH: HERE WE NEITHER BURN INCENSE NOR SPRAY
PERFUME, YET ALL IS WELL. ***WE DO NOT GO TO THE
WATERSIDE TO WORSHIP.***
43. All these period that you have been doing these
fetish things, of what gain have they been to you?
The reason why you overcome the world is because
the Holy Spirit is here, the Son is here, and the
Father is also here.
YOU ARE RICH IN THE WORD OF GOD AND IF YOU
ARE ASKED WHAT HAS THIS FATHER OF YOURS
GIVEN YOU, TELL THEM HE HAS GIVEN YOU THE
WORD OF GOD.
What is great to you this day is very small but
what you have witnessed this day is greater. I want
you to put this into practice and make it your
garment. NO PHENOMENON CAN EXERCISE
AUTHORITY AGAIN OVER THIS WORLD. You heard
that majority of Indians are now embracing BCS.
You are enjoined to give money to people and you
are asked to go and practice the word of God.
As you pray that God should take away
temptation from you, if the temptation is taken from
you where will you get your crown? Instead of you to
strive to overcome temptation, you shout
"Oh Father, take away temptation because it is
great. When you are in school you sit for
44. examination, when you pass a certificate will be
awarded to you.

POLITICS
DEMOCRACY
A NEW WORLD WITH A NEW ORDER:
It is said that when the priesthood is changed the
law of necessity must be changed. The whole world
is falling. Everybody is falling one after the other
because of their disobedience. The Kingdoms of this
world have become the Kingdoms of Jehovah God
and His Christ. The Kingdoms of this world have
therefore been destroyed.
HENCEFORTH, IF A GROUP OF PEOPLE VOTE
FOR AND DECLARE A PARTICULAR PERSON THE
PRESIDENT, GOVERNOR, OR ROYAL HIGHNESS,
SUCH ELECTED PERSON WILL NOT BE SWORN INTO
OFFICE, EXCEPT HE IS RIGHTEOUS.
45. God alone shall appoint the right people into
various offices, be they political, civil, or religious.
This explains why Our Lord Jesus Christ said that
only those who kept His words were His parents,
brethren, and friends.
THE REIGN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT:
POLITICS, HUMAN GOVERNANCE OR
WHATEVER NAME YOU CALL IT, DEMOCRACY IS
DEAD AND GONE FOREVER. NOW IS THE TIME FOR
THE MANIFESTATION OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD
AND HIS CHRIST, WHERE HE REIGNS FOREVER
WITH LOVE, PEACE, HUMILITY, TRUTH, AND ALL
GOOD VIRTUES.
All the problems and confusion in the world
today are caused by God, thus signaling the end of
human activities. Liars, oppressors, cheats,
fornicators, murderers and swindlers are playing for
time. Their activities are gradually coming to an end
thus giving way to the reign of God and His elects.
It is only the complete take-over of governance
of the world affairs by God that will bring about
world peace, love, oneness, and prosperity to
mankind. And nobody can oppose the appointment of
46. those God chooses into political, civil or religious
offices.
HE IS THE ONLY WORTHY PROTECTOR:
In His Kingdom, there is no police, no courts, no
cheating, no oppression, no looting of the treasury,
no dishonesty among other vices. The events in and
around the world today indicate the end of human
activities. Human beings are so wicked, fraudulent,
and satanic. The Truth has come to reign with His
righteous children because God rules in truth and
uses truth and love to judge. Let the Golden Text be
read.

GOD SYMPATHIZES WITH THE BLACKS
Eph 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead
in trespasses and sins;
Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to
the course of this world, according to the prince of
47. the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in
the children of disobedience:
Eph 2:3 Among whom also we all had our
conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind;
and were by nature the children of wrath, even as
others.
Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great
love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath
quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are
saved;)
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us
sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the
exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness
toward us through Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and
that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
* IT DOES NOT SERVE ANY USEFUL PURPOSE TO GAZE AT
THE SKY AND SAY UNTIL JESUS CHRIST COME AGAIN. HE
SAYS I USE THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD TO BEGET YOU AND
YOU BECOME THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
48. * Without the Holy Spirit what is capable of driving
out lying, greed, death, sickness and every
haphazard spirit from your body?
You can see how merciful God is with the Black man.
And you see how God is merciful to the poor. He is
so compassionate with the orphans, the blind and
the lame. See how God is sympathetic with the
afflicted, with those in tribulation and all those who
suffer. A spiritual chorus says the afflicted should
weep no more because the Savior is not on the way;
He is already here with us. God knows that if He had
started His operation in the white man's country
then the black man would have perished. If this work
were to start with the whites how many of you here
would be there? Not very long from now you will see
the whites flying in airplanes and landing here. And
the cost means nothing to
them. That is why God has chosen to begin this work
with the poor blacks. Those who were not His People
are now His Beloved.
Notice that some of you have been here for the past
twenty years but your twenty years are of no effect
to you. IF A WHITE MAN COMES IN HERE FOR ONE
49. DAY, HE WILL ASSIMILATE AND BEGIN TO
PRACTICE ALL THAT HE HAS LEARNT. BUT YOUR
TWENTY YEARS HAVE NOT DONE ANY GOOD THING
TO YOU. ONE THING IS SURE; GOD HAS NEVER
FORGOTTEN HIS PROMISE. AS IT WAS WRITTEN IN
HOSEA "THOSE WHO WERE NOT MY PEOPLE SHALL
BE CALLED MY PEOPLE AND SHE THAT WAS NOT
LOVED SHALL BE CALLED MY BELOVED." THE
WHITE MAN HAS NO REGARD FOR THE BLACK MAN.
THE OTHER COLORED PEOPLE HAVE NO REGARD
FOR THE BLACK MAN. NOT TO TALK ABOUT
AFRICA, NOT TO TALK ABOUT NIGERIA. YOU
WOULD NOT EVEN MENTION THE CROSS RIVER
STATE, BUT TODAY GOD HAS LOOKED KINDLY ON
YOU AND HE HAS SALVAGED YOU FROM YOUR RUIN
INTO HIS GREAT GLORY.
We are all begotten of God by His Words:
How many people now realize that they are the
children of God? Up till today you are still
claiming that you are human. Have you heard
what the first lesson has told you? He says I
use the Holy Spirit to drive away the evil spirit
50. from you and then you become the children of
God.
I have used the Word of God to beget all of you
sitting down here as the real children of God.
There is no other thing which can be used in
begetting you apart from the Word of God.
WHAT QUALIFIES YOU AS A SON IS THE WORD OF
GOD WHICH DWELLS RICHLY IN YOU. WHAT MAKES
HIM THE FATHER IS THAT HE USES THE WORD TO
BEGET YOU.
It is a thing of great joy for all the inhabitants
of the world to come to the realization that we
are all the children of God. WE ARE NOT
ADOPTED CHILDREN BUT THE TRUE SONS OF GOD.
THERE IS NO OTHER MEDIUM THROUGH WHICH A
MAN CAN BE BEGOTTEN WITH THE IMAGE AND
LIKENESS OF GOD EXCEPT THAT GOD HAS TO
BEGET SUCH A PERSON.
The New Covenant:
And that is why it should be very expedient for
all the children of God to come in here to
51. accept Him. It is a great fortune for all of you
here, not to you alone but to the entire
mankind. Because He has said this is the New
Covenant that I will make with the house of
Israel after those days, saith the Lord. "I will
put my laws into their mind, and write them in
their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and
they shall be to me a people. And they shall
not teach every man his neighbor, and every
man his brother, saying, know the Lord: for all
shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness,
and their sins and their iniquities will I
remember no more." Are these Words not made
manifest within you today?
All of you sitting down here and all the
inhabitants of the world, I use the Word of God
to beget you. As you enslaved yourself to sin
from now on you must enslave yourself to the
Holy Spirit. REALIZE THAT THESE WORDS HAVE
BEEN FULFILLED IN YOU: THE KINGDOM OF THIS
WORLD HAVE BECOME THE KINGDOM OF JEHOVAH
52. GOD AND HIS CHRIST. It is not such a thing that
you should begin to ask if you are the child of
God. You are the child of God because God
dwells in you. IT DOES NOT SERVE ANY USEFUL
PURPOSE TO GAZE AT THE SKY AND SAY UNTIL
JESUS CHRIST COME AGAIN. HE SAYS I USE THE
HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD TO BEGET YOU AND YOU
BECOME THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
Without the Holy Spirit what is capable of driving out
lying, greed, death, sickness and every haphazard
spirit from your body? The first lesson will now be
read.

AFRICANS: POST CHRIST’S RESURRECTION
ATTROCITIES AGAINST THE AFRICANS.
Eph 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time
past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called
Uncircumcision by that which is called the
Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
53. Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ,
being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and
strangers from the covenants of promise, having
no hope, and without God in the world:
Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes
were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Eph 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both
one, and hath broken down the middle wall of
partition between us;
When the whites came to Africa they saw our people
and everything they did as crude and uncivilized.
Therefore they had to replace all the indigenous
governments and institutions with theirs. Before
long, Africans began to protest against the
colonialist and their system. They agitated for
independence. The struggle to free themselves from
the yoke of colonialism and bondage intensified and
many African countries were later granted political
independence. THE QUESTION NOW IS, HAS THAT
INDEPENDENCE BROUGHT PEACE AND PROGRESS
TO THE AFRICANS? HAS THE STRUGGLE FOR
LIBERATION AND DOMINATION CEASED?
There are coups and counter coups, secessions and
tribal wars in Africa in particular and in the world in
54. general. Those either appointed or voted into the
various political offices have never lived up to
expectation. THIS IS BECAUSE THEY NEITHER
KNOW GOD NOR HIS LAWS. THEY DO NOT LOVE
HIM. WHEN A BLIND MAN LEADS ANOTHER BLIND
MAN, BOTH WILL FALL INTO A DITCH.
WE HAVE A FATHER AND A RULER WHO IS JUST
AND CARING, YET MAN HAS REJECTED HIM. HE IS
THE ONE WHO HAS ENJOINED YOU NOT CALL
ANYBODY FATHER OR LORD FOR HE IS THE ONLY
FATHER AND LORD. WE ARE BRETHREN AND
DERIVE OUR ORIGIN FROM HIM. Christ said, "I am
the vine, and my Father is the husband man. Every
branch in me that beareth not the fruit he taketh
away; and every branch that bearth fruit he purgeth
it that it may bring forth more fruit." (John 15:1-2).
ONE OF OUR SPIRITUAL CHORUSES RENDERED IN
IGBO HAS IT THAT A TREE THAT BLOSSOMS AND
YIELDS GOOD FRUIT IS BEING WATERED BY
SOMEONE. THEREFORE ANYBODY WHO REFUSES
TO RECOGNIZE HIS CREATOR IS CONDEMNED.
Right from the time of Adam and Eve man has never
accepted God. Man has always given high regards
55. and recognition to material things. THAT IS A GREAT
INSULT TO GOD. WHOEVER ADVISES YOU NOW TO
PUT YOUR FAITH AND TRUST IN MAN IS ILL
ADVISING YOU AND SUCH A PERSON SHOULD PRAY
FERVENTLY FOR HIMSELF. The scripture has said
that: NONE SHOULD HAVE FAITH IN A MAN WHO
BREATHS THROUGH HIS NOSTRILS. IS IT NOT A
GOOD TIME FOR MANKIND TO LOVE GOD, TO OBEY
AND ADORE HIM SO THAT PEACE MAY ABOUND?
There is nothing anybody can do for his fellow man.
When Pilate asked Christ a series of questions
before His crucifixion, He rebuffed when Pilate told
Him that he had power to either set Him free or
condemn Him. He retorted that Pilate himself had no
authority to do anything except such power was
given to him from above.
The Jews regarded Christ as an evil man and
troublemaker. BUT GOD SAID HE WAS HIS BELOVED
SON IN WHOM HE WAS WELL PLEASED AND THAT
THE WORLD SHOULD LISTEN TO HIM (CHRIST). Of
the two, the world and God, who is a liar? On another
occasion when they were well fed with bread and
fish by the Lord, the Jews were so pleased that they
wanted to crown Him their king. Knowing their plans,
56. He departed from the area because such exercise
did not bring glory to God. HE WENT AWAY TO
ADVANCE THE GLORY OF HIS FATHER. Let
reference be made to the second lesson.

THE AFRICANS
BLACK ON BLACK ATTROCITIES:
RESTORE YOUR BRETHREN TO THEIR PREVIOUS STATE
If you go to the prison overseas, you will
discover that prisoners are not tortured and
humiliated as done in Nigeria. Prisoners are
not punished and they are paid salary, and also
they wear what they like. But in this part of the
globe prisoners are tied to stakes, and shot to
death. Others are punished in various ways.
Until now, are you fed up in this atrocious act
of yours? I want you to listen to our second
lesson as it is going to be read. That is your
57. homework: Take a record of your wickedness
from Adam, and since you started killing,
disgracing, defiling, drinking, fornicating,
indulging in diabolical practices and doing other
unseemly things, yet to no avail. Now the whites
have come to their wits end. They have seen their
ignorance, the Germans are not left out in this issue
of eye opening. You have been fighting, quarrelling
and killing. Do you eat the corpse of those you kill?
And even though you may eat it, will it satisfy you? If
somebody dies, will somebody not be born? What
indeed is relatively new? We look for a new thing
now. This is the new heaven and a new earth
wherein dwelleth righteousness. That is the new
thing which we yearn for.
SECOND LESSON: GALATIANS 6:1
"Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which
are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of
meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be
tempted. "
RESTORE YOUR BRETHREN TO THEIR PREVIOUS STATE
Have you heard that? Realize that in overseas, if you
are reported to the police the police will not come
58. and arrest you indiscriminately. Your telephone
number will be taken and somebody will dial your
number and advise you to report at the police station
and then will you go there. If any policeman attempts
to arrest you, without following this protocol he will
be charged for assault. That is the case over there.
They have realized that all this time they have been
beating mankind, punishing and torturing him, no
benefit has come out of that. And all this time that
you have been bullying, cheating, beating up people
and bearing malice against others, discriminating
and charging others to court; you have imprisoned,
killed and tortured the rest, what good has come to
your family? Have you lived long? Where are your
parents and great-grand-parents? Are you not fed up
with this act of gross sinfulness? OVER HERE THERE
IS A DEATH PENALTY FOR WHOEVER COMMITS
MURDER, BUT IN THE WESTERN WORLD SUCH A
THING DOES NOT ARISE. THE CULPRIT WILL BE
GIVEN LIFE IMPRISONMENT OVER THERE. HE LIVES
THERE PERMANENTLY WITHOUT GOING OUT
AGAIN. But logically, if somebody kills and you kill
him, don't you know you will be killed? If you
condemn somebody to death, note that you are also
dead. THE WHITES HAVE STARTED TO REALIZE THINGS
59. WHICH THEY DID NOT KNOW IN THE PAST BECAUSE THEY
LACKED THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS
ILLUMINATING THEIR PATH NOW. BUT IMAGINE A LARGE
CONTINENT LIKE AFRICA, INSTEAD FOR YOU TO UNITE IN
ONE AND FORM A FORMIDABLE FRONT, YOU TEND TO
SEGREGATE AND AVENGE YOURSELVES.
Over here, if you happen to be the driver of a vehicle
involved in an accident, and you have knocked
somebody down, if you don't run away the
inhabitants of that area will surround you with
sticks, clubs, matches and guns, set your vehicle
ablaze and finally kill you. At times it does not even
concern them in any way, and if you were up to two
people, both of you will be killed, making the number
of corpses three. What profit is there in doing such a
thing? In other words, you cause somebody you
suspected to have stolen your property to be
apprehended and jailed. By so doing, have you
retrieved your property? Is that thief in the prison for
your own good? What really is your gain? Combat
does not terminate at throwing down an opponent.
The family of the person imprisoned and their
community members will challenge that act and it
will not be that easy for you. That trouble caused by
the two families or communities will raise dust. What
60. goes on in the world is "tit for tat." A GREAT MANY
MISHAPS WE HAVE HEARD ABOUT IN THE WESTERN
WORLD OCCURRED ACCIDENTALLY, BUT THAT OF THE
BLACKS, THEY ACT DEVILISHLY AND UNJUSTLY. YOU ARE
RULED BY SINS AND EVILS. SIN HAS EATEN DEEP INTO
YOU AS A CANKERWORM. THE INFANT, ADULT, YOUNG,
OLD, MAN OR WOMAN COMMITS EVILS. THERE IS NOBODY
WHO IS READY TO DO ANYTHING GOOD. YOU MOVE ABOUT
WITH YOUR KNIFE TIED ROUND YOUR WAIST. AND THE
BLACK MAN DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THE WORD "ACCIDENT."
That is why our second lesson says: "If a man be
overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore
such an one in the spirit of meekness, considering
thyself, lest thou also be tempted." But if we beat
such a person, or punish him in what ever way
necessary, it means we have committed the worst
crime. Who has not offended amongst us? Right now
as we are seated here listening to the gospel, should
anybody now disturb either by shouting, or
misbehaving anyhow, everybody will run to his
direction. He will be captured; and before you know
it he has been tied legs and hands and thrown on the
ground, his legs twisted and his neck squeezed. He
will be beaten and dealt with ruthlessly. When you
act in this way, don't you know that your punishment
is greater than his? As children of God if somebody
61. does something which is not good admonish him
peacefully and gradually he will change. And in the
end you will show to him his fault without hurting his
feelings and yours too.
If somebody steals your property don't broadcast it.
But get closer the culprit and exhort him peacefully
and gently, in the end you will successfully make him
realize his fault without being angry with you. If you
report a thief to the police and he is arrested don't
you know that your sin is greater than his? If you
take him to the soothsayer, juju priest, or witch
doctor to cast lots and know the truth, don't you
think that your offence is greater than his? If you
curse and beat him up, don't you know that you have
also offended? That is why you are asked to "take
heed lest you fall." That is the constituent of the
teaching I impart to you. Whoever says he stands
should take heed lest he falls. When you curse
people, get angry, beat somebody up and punish
others, don't you fall by so doing? You give your car
to somebody but incidentally he got involved in an
accident and possibly damaged your car. You
become so infuriated that you demand a new car as
compensation from him. What happens if you were
62. the one driving the car and had the car damaged?
Would you not have said it was an accident? Why tell
the driver to buy you a new car?
LEAVE VENGEANCE FOR GOD, HE WILL REPAY:
You must have heard the testimony of that chief
magistrate who said he had a case of manslaughter
in court; it is because of that type of situation. He
said his nephew was intimate with his daughter in
his house the first time and he pardoned him. As if
that was not enough, the nephew repeated that
shabby act and because of that the chief magistrate
admitted he sent the boy home and refused him
education. But when the magistrate went home on
one occasion he discovered that his nephew was
still there. He was angry and he drove him away and
got him seriously smacked. Along the line the young
man died. When the boy died he was charged for
manslaughter. BRETHREN, IF YOU ARE OBSERVANT AND
THOUGHTFUL, YOU WILL REALIZE THAT THE TEACHING I
IMPART UNTO YOU IS EXCELLENT.

* This is in consonance with the action of someone
who has missed his brother for a long time. Of
course, he will readily assume or even embrace any
person who resembles or bears any semblance of
that brother. There is a high probability that his
assumption is right, especially when the person
presumed to be his brother begins to exhibit some
familiar actions, such as asking about the family and
other personal matters.

IN SEARCH OF CHRIST:
First Bible Lesson: Hebrews 7:24-26
"But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an
unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also
to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by
64. him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for
them. For such a high priest becomes us, who is
holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and
made higher than the heavens."
Second Bible Lesson: Hebrews 1:6-9
"And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten
into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God
worship him. And of the angels he saith, who maketh
his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is
forever and ever: a septre of righteousness is the
septre of thy kingdom.Thou hast loved
righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God,
even thy God hath, anointed thee with the oil of
gladness above thy fellows."
Golden Text: Hebrews 13:7-8 "Remember them
which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto
you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering
the end of their conversation. Jesus Christ the same,
yesterday, and today, and forever."
INTRODUCTORY SONG: I AM THAT PERSON SAVED BY THE
LORD.
65. DID CHRIST DIE?
Act 3:13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob,
the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom
ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate,
when he was determined to let him go.
Act 3:14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and
desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
Act 3:15 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised
from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
Act 10:39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did
both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they
slew and hanged on a tree:
Act 10:40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him
openly;
Act 10:41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen
before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him
after he rose from the dead.
Act 10:42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people,
and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to
be the Judge of quick and dead.
Act 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through
his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive
remission of sins.
Act 10:44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy
Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
When Our Lord Jesus Christ was in the world, and
even after His death and resurrection, no one
66. understood His ways. At times He appeared, may be,
in the midst of two or three persons, and before they
knew it, He disappeared. He appeared before Peter
and the rest of them, and disappeared in like
manner. All these took place to confirm the local
adage which says cocoyam is cooked in accordance
with its specie. This is in consonance with the action
of someone who has missed his brother for a long
time. Of course, he will readily assume or even
embrace any person who resembles or bears any
semblance of that brother. There is a high probability
that his assumption is right, especially when the
person presumed to be his brother begins to exhibit
some familiar actions, such as asking about the
family and other personal matters. IN LIKE MANNER
SHALL ALL BELIEVERS RECOGNIZE OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST ON HIS SECOND COMING. ALREADY
YOU HAVE HEARD THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND SHALL,
FOREVER, REMAIN SO. Also the content of our First
Bible Lesson in Hebrews 7:24-26, has made Him
clear to us. So you have the duty of going home with
today's message and meditate over it.
67. I am only reminding you because if you recall the
type of life led by Our Lord Jesus Christ during His
manifestation on earth, and then compare it to what
is now going on in the world, you will only draw
conclusions by yourself without waiting for
somebody else to reveal it to you. Even the First
Lesson has revealed that He is not dead even though
people claim that He is dead. Peter was a very
powerful disciple yet he argued that Our Lord Jesus
Christ would not die. That was when Our Lord Jesus
Christ informed them that He would die but resurrect
on the third day. Peter's argument was based on the
fact the fact that it is written from the beginning that
Christ will not taste of death forever. (Matt 16:21-24).
So as human, when he heard Christ pronounce that
He would die, he became confused and even doubted
whether Jesus was the real Christ or the Promised
Messiah. Thus, Peter contemplated within himself,
"It was written that He will not die, and if it happens
that this very one will die it means he is not the one.
I have derailed from the right path and my soul shall
not be at peace."
What happened is that He died, and resurrected on
the third day. And the logic in the statement has to
68. do with THE TRANSFORMATION FROM THE FLESH
TO THE SPIRIT. And you could now hear what has
been told us this day that He lives forever. But all
other churches believe and proclaim that He is dead.
The question is when did He die? Have they not been
seeing that portion in the scripture? Since you
continue to claim that Jesus Christ is beneath the
earth, or in the sky etc. have you not seen His work
going on? Have you ever seen the work of a dead
man in the world going on as smoothly as when he
was alive? Once you die, all your belongings are
dead because the people you left behind will misuse
and mismanage them.
Who united the world? Recall that even when Our
Lord Jesus was born the world did not recognize Him
but now has the world not recognized Him? Many
still do not believe in Him. HERE IN BROTHERHOOD
OF THE CROSS AND STAR WE BELIEVE IN CHRIST,
IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. SO WHENEVER YOU ARE
TALKING TO HIM, ADDRESS HIM AS IF HE IS FACING
YOU DIRECTLY AT THAT POINT IN TIME. WHENEVER
YOU WANT TO HAVE ANY DEALINGS WITH HIM, DO
IT RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE YOU HAVE SEEN HIM
PHYSICALLY. DO NOT FEAR.
69. Even now, He still appears at any time and any
where He likes. He is still healing the sick. That is
why by singing songs and rebuking the sickness, the
sick get healed right. This shows that He is the doer
of all the activities carried on here, the singing,
dancing, praying etc. HE IS THE TEACHER AND THE
ADVISER.
If you doubt it, then I ask you, have you ever gone on
any workshop to train as a preacher? Have you ever
gone to India, America, Israel, or anywhere in the
world to be trained as a preacher? If no, then where
did you acquire the wisdom and truth with which
most of you preach? Meanwhile, have you ever seen
a priest who is truthful? So He alone is worthy, and
He is the only Chief Priest. And forever He remains
the only Chief Priest, and none will ever emerge
again. SO YOU SHOULD NOT BE DECEIVED BY
ANYBODY WHO MAY RISE TOMORROW AND CLAIM
TO BE THE CHIEF PRIEST. For Our Lord Jesus Christ
has taken His glorious throne, and His glory has
neither beginning nor an end. He is the Great
Teacher who has taken everybody to His Father.
I have been telling you to stop gazing at the sky,
imagining His likeness. Have you not seen His
70. likeness within you. Even in your bedroom He is
always conversing deeply with you. In the past,
many people did not see Him, talk less of conversing
with Him. But now you have seen Him, you do not
see Him while sailing on the river or flying in the sky
alone, but you see Him wherever you go. Then what
is the sense of doubting Him?

LIFE :
* IN THE PAST, THERE WAS NO AEROPLANE; AND ALL THE
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT AND ALL
THE THINGS YOU ARE NOW SEEING, INCLUDING
CIVILIZATION STARTED ON THAT VERY DAY.
* HE DID REDEEM EVERYBODY HENCE THERE EXISTS NO

YOU, IN OUR MIDST, HE IS BOTH PHYSICAL AND INVISIBLE.
* You can see that HE is referred to as 'HE' and not 'she' or
'it.' And the 'He' stands for a human being. Hence it is said:
when He shall come. SO HE IS NOW GOING ABOUT
71. EVERYWHERE AND AT THE SAME TIME ACCOMPLISHING
HIS WORK. That is why whenever you want to go on
ministry work, and you invite Him to follow you
along, He does not hesitate to go before and behind
you.
* If the whites are capable of going to the moon, as
well as carrying out many acts to the amazement of
many, then how much more God? What do you think
He cannot do? HE HAS COME IN A HIDDEN WAY, HENCE
NONE COULD SEE HIM. The people of the world have
tried to wage war against Him but they have failed,
so they restrict their move.
*THAT IS WHY I AM TELLING YOU THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT
IS RIGHT HERE AND WHENEVER YOU WANT TO DISCUSS

YOU ARE DISCUSSING FACE TO FACE WITH HIM. IF HE
WERE NOT HERE NO ONE WOULD HAVE LED YOU INTO THIS

I have been telling you to stop gazing at the sky,

many people did not see Him, talk less of conversing

72. alone, but you see Him wherever you go. Then what
is the sense of doubting Him?
SPIRITUAL CHORUS:
HE IS THE KING OF KINGS. HE IS THE LORD OF LORDS.
JESUS CHRIST THE FIRST AND THE LAST NO ONE IS LIKE
HIM. HE MADE THE LAME TO WALK, HE MADE THE BLIND
TO SEE, HE MADE THE DEAD TO RISE, NO ONE IS LIKE HIM.
CHRIST'S CRUCIFIXION MARKS THE BEGINNING OF NEW
LIFE : Brethren, this is now His time; hence none can
withstand Him. The Spirit which descended on Him
during His baptism was a sign. That was why it was
said that whoever the spirit shall descend upon is
the one who shall baptize with spirit and with fire.
The purpose of the Spirit that descended upon Him
was in order for people to say or declare that He is
the one. It is unlike when one declares or proclaims
that when you see some one putting on red, black or
immaculate white garment that he is the one. BUT
THE SIGN YOU ARE BEING TOLD IS A SPECIAL ONE THAT
WAS REVEALED TO JOHN TO ENABLE HIM TO IDENTIFY
HIM. (John 1:32-34). Remember when Our Lord Jesus
Christ was led into the wilderness to be tempted?
But what was the outcome of the temptations? Were
they able to overcome Him? Did He not overcome the
temptations? THEN WHO IN THE WORLD CAN WITHSTAND
73. HIM? He walked freely on the seas, He could appear
before two or three persons, and even greet them.
On the first day of His crucifixion, a mere calling on
the name of His Father around 3 p.m. something
miraculous happened. This is because it is said when
the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of Man they
shall all rise. That amongst them the righteous shall
live in peace while the sinners shall remain in
judgement. Before this time, there was no spirit
because everybody ranging from Adam was still on
earth. They were taken by death and tortured by
Hades. That is why He came in order to go and
gather them unto salvation. (Heb 2:14-15/Eph 4:8)
IN THE PAST, THERE WAS NO AEROPLANE; AND ALL THE
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT AND ALL
THE THINGS YOU ARE NOW SEEING, INCLUDING
CIVILIZATION STARTED ON THAT VERY DAY. HE DID
REDEEM EVERYBODY HENCE THERE EXISTS NO MORE
DEATH, GNASHING OF TEETH ETC., AND HE LIVES
FOREVER. HE IS PRESENT EVEN RIGHT HERE. HE IS IN
YOU, IN OUR MIDST, HE IS BOTH PHYSICAL AND INVISIBLE.
You can see that HE is referred to as 'HE' and not
'she' or 'it.' And the 'He' stands for a human being.
Hence it is said: when He shall come. SO HE IS NOW
GOING ABOUT EVERYWHERE AND AT THE SAME TIME
ACCOMPLISHING HIS WORK. That is why whenever you
74. want to go on ministry work, and you invite Him to
follow you along, He does not hesitate to go before
and behind you. Do you think Peter was responsible
for all the work he did? Or do you think he was going
about alone? It was even after the crucifixion of Our
Lord Jesus Christ that Peter and even Paul became
very famous as far as the work of God is concerned.
This shows that He was the person accomplishing
those works. Recall how Peter was imprisoned and
an angel came and set him free by loosing the band
on his hands and legs, as well as opening the gate
for him to go out? (Acts 12:3-11).
WHO DO YOU THINK WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE
THINGS? THERE IS NOTHING THAT MAN CAN DO TO
HIM. DEATH ITSELF HAS NO DOMINION OVER HIM.
RATHER HE CAN EVEN KICK DEATH AS ONE KICKS
A FOOTBALL. The parable which referred to the
kingdom as the likeness of a grain of mustard seed
signified Him. In fact He was referring to Himself.
Thus he said... (See Matt 13:31-32)
BRETHREN, IS IT NOT WHAT YOU ARE NOW
SEEING? DO YOU THINK HE CAN AT THIS MOMENT
ENTER INTO A WOMAN'S WOMB? WHO IS THAT
WOMAN WHO CAN GIVE BIRTH TO HIM? WHICH
COMMUNITY CAN HE LIVE IN? WHO IS CAPABLE OF
75. ADVISING HIM? HE HAS ASSUMED HIS GLORIOUS
SEAT, AND HAS GROWN TO AN UN-QUANTIFIABLE
AND INDESCRIBABLE EXTENT. HIS GLORY HAS
MULTIPLIED A HUNDREDFOLD. SO, NOT EVEN THE
WIND, WATER, BIRD, OR MAN CAN WITHSTAND HIS
POWER.
If He has overcome death as well as Hades then
what do you actually think about Him? Does it mean
that He is now in the sky? ARE YOU AWARE OF HIS
PRESENCE? IS ANYONE, THE WORLD OVER, AWARE OF
HIS PRESENCE ON EARTH? I AM TELLING YOU THAT JESUS
THE CHRIST IS PRESENT RIGHT HERE ON EARTH. HE IS
THE PERSON GETTING EVERYTHING PREPARED. THE
PROBLEM IS THAT HE HAS NOT COME THE WAY YOU
EXPECTED.
If the whites are capable of going to the moon, as
well as carrying out many acts to the amazement of
many, then how much more God? What do you think
He cannot do? HE HAS COME IN A HIDDEN WAY, HENCE
NONE COULD SEE HIM. The people of the world have
tried to wage war against Him but they have failed,
so they restrict their move. THAT IS WHY I AM TELLING
YOU THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS RIGHT HERE AND
WHENEVER YOU WANT TO DISCUSS WITH HIM, DO SO WITH
ALL AMOUNT OF ASSURANCE THAT YOU ARE DISCUSSING
FACE TO FACE WITH HIM. IF HE WERE NOT HERE NO ONE
76. WOULD HAVE LED YOU INTO THIS KINGDOM. Even the
whites who proclaim that Our Lord Jesus Christ is
dead are wrong, but I pray that God should forgive
them. Imagine such proclamation against somebody
who is seated on His throne.
As I have said earlier, this is a glorious time. That is
why even the whites and the great men of this earth
can no longer brag, for He is mightier than they are.
We are His witnesses hence you now have the power
to kick these great men of the world like professors,
doctors, etc. with your foot. THIS ABILITY DOES NOT
COME FROM YOU BUT FROM OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST. THIS IS THE VERY COMFORTER, OF WHOM
IT WAS PROPHESIED WOULD COME AND TEACH YOU
ALL THINGS AND CLARIFY ALL THINGS TO YOU. But
for His coming, who would have told you, or how
would you know what had taken place, or what will
take place thousands of years to come? Apart from
Him, who in the world is loving, powerful, and
truthful? He has to accomplish His work and He is
the only priest that we have hence we are witnesses
to His glory. AND ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM HAVE
RECEIVED SALVATION.
SPIRITUAL CHORUS:
77. HE HAS COME IN A HIDDEN WAY BUT THE WORLD IS STILL
SEARCHING FOR HIM.
WE OWE HIM A DUTY
After Christ's resurrection, Mary Magdalene and the
other Mary went with spices to His grave. Unknown
to them, they saw someone who, they thought, was
the gardener; but this was Our Lord Jesus Christ
whom they went to seek. They asked Him for the
corpse of Our Lord Jesus Christ. In fact, Mary
Magdalene did not recognize Him as Jesus Christ. He
later asked them to go and inform His disciples that
He had risen. Surprisingly, before Mary could get to
where His disciples were staying, He had already
revealed Himself to them. He appeared before the
disciples and said, "Let peace be with you."
THEREFORE YOU SHOULD REALIZE THAT HE IS THE
COMFORTER AS WELL AS THE REDEEMER. EVERYTHING
COMES FROM HIM AND NOTHING, NOT EVEN MAN, CAN
WITHSTAND HIM. If you want to know more about Him
search the scriptures and read about all that
happened with the disciples, Mary Magdalene and
others. So you should learn your lesson from those
events. HENCEFORTH YOU SHOULD NOT CONTINUE TO
SEARCH FOR HIM IN ANY OTHER WAY, FOR HE IS
EVERYWHERE. Even as you are sitting down there, He
78. is the person sitting there with you. Even if it is a
little child that you come across, He is the one that
you have seen. If you see a toy standing before you,
He is the person standing. He is the leaves, the birds
you are seeing. Do not share the same view with the
people of the world who say that Our Lord Jesus
Christ is dead and buried simply because they have
not seen Him. It is because they cannot see Him that
prompted Him to advise that they should not search
for the living among the dead. Do you not understand
why He said to them, Why do you search for the
living among the dead? That He is not here but you
should go to Galilee, (Matt 28:8-10/Luke 24:5-6), for
there you would see Him. Since then, when did He
die? Who saw His corpse if really He is dead? Have
you now seen how His ways elude you? So you
should not doubt Him any longer for He did promise
that He shall not leave you as orphans but He shall
live with you for eternity.
Therefore, He will neither taste of death nor
sickness. He does not lack and He is without
blemish. There is no sin in Him, no cunningness or
craftiness in him; nothing like sacrifice, but He lives
forever. So you should be proud of Him. Even before
the whole world, stamp your feet on the ground and
79. proclaim the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Whatever pronouncement you make He is ready to
accomplish it for you. Recall when He fed thousands
with only five loaves and two fishes. This shows that
there is nothing He cannot do. Your problem is that
you are skeptical about whether He is dead or not,
and whether He is coming back again. Remember
what Christ said in John 14:12. He declared to us
that when the Comforter shall come, He shall reveal
unto us everything, and at the same time lead us to
the accurate knowledge of truth. So this is our own
key. We owe a duty of revealing Him to the world.
SPIRITUAL CHORUS: I HAVE COME BY MYSELF, SENDING
NO ONE AND I WILL REVEAL MYSELF TO THE WORLD. I
HAVE COME NOT TO DIE AGAIN AS THOUGHT BY THE
WORLD. THEREFORE YOU SHOULD SING AND REJOICE FOR
I, THE KING, HAVE ASSUMED MY GLORY.……..

80. THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL
A NEW ERA
First Bible Lesson: Hebrews 8:9-12
“Not according to the covenant that I made with
their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they
continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them
not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I
will make with the house of Israel after those days,
saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and
write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a
God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall
not teach every man his neighbour, and every man
his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know
me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be
merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and
their iniquities will I remember no more.”
Second Bible Lesson: Acts 2:17-21
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith
God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and
your young men shall see visions, and your old men
shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my
handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my
Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew
wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth
81. beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The
sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into
blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord
come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever
shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Golden Text Revelation: 11:15
“And the seventh angel sounded; and there
were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms
of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord,
and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and
ever.”
AN END TO SINS
Beloved, the above texts form the theme of the
opening sermon for THE 1994 AUGUST
PENTECOSTAL ASSEMBLY. The problem with you is
that even after you might have been told that the
things as taught to you in this kingdom are universal
and indeed the veritable truth, you have bluntly
refused to spread these messages to the entire
humanity.
A LOT OF THE PEOPLE ARE OF THE BELIEF THAT
THIS KINGDOM IS MEANT FOR NIGERIANS AND THE
AFRICANS ALONE. IT IS NOT TRUE. THIS IS THE
KINGDOM OF GOD, AND INDEED A UNIVERSAL
KINGDOM. THIS KINGDOM, YOU SHOULD NOTE, IS
NOT MADE UP OF MAN ONLY, RATHER IT IS MADE
82. UP OF ALL THE CREATIONS OF GOD, BOTH
ANIMATE AND INANIMATE. THIS KINGDOM HERE
ESTABLISHED IS IN CONFIRMATION WITH THE
WORDS OF GOD THAT "THE KINGDOMS OF THIS
WORLD ARE BECOME-THE KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD,
AND OF HIS CHRIST; AND HE SHALL REIGN FOR
EVER AND EVER." (Revelation 11:15).
Good enough, we are STARTING THE
PENTECOSTAL SESSION WITH THE FATHER, and the
Father means love. And where love abounds,
everything is provided in abundance. In this kingdom,
everything is provided free for all.
Here, equality is the order of the day and peace
reigns supreme. The opposite is the case in the
worldly kingdom. They fight, quarrel, cheat, oppress,
dictate, victimize and embezzle. IN THIS KINGDOM,
THE TOOLS OF LEADERSHIP USED BY THE FATHER
ARE HUMILITY, LOVE, PEACE, MEEKNESS,
GENTLENESS, LONG SUFFERING, PATIENCE,
GOODNESS AMONG OTHER VIRTUES. HE DOES NOT
DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ANYBODY. ALL ARE GIVEN
EQUAL AND FAIR TREATMENT. THE BLIND, DEAF,
DUMB, LAME, POOR, NEEDY, OPPRESSED ARE ALL
INVITED TO SHARE IN THE JOY OF THIS KINGDOM.
An end has been brought to war, anger, hunger,
mourning, division and indeed suffering or hardship
of any form. And since you have hearkened to this
83. call, you are expected to be charitable in everything
you do as your token of love for one another; and you
should take after your Father. A deviation from this
love accounts for the problems of mankind .
YOU ARE DUTY BOUND TO SPREAD THE GOOD
TIDINGS OF THIS KINGDOM TO EVERY NOOK AND
CRANNY OF THE WORLD. FAILURE TO SPREAD THE
GOSPELS ACCOUNTS FOR THE REASON WHY YOU
FAIL GENERALLY IN LIFE. IN DISSEMINATING THE
WORD OF GOD, DO NOT PREACH ABOUT MAN,
MONEY, CHURCH, WEALTH, JUJU; RATHER YOU
ARE TO PREACH ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
TELL THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD THAT THE
KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD HAVE BECOME THE
KINGDOM OF OUR GOD AND OF HIS CHRIST. THUS
PUTTING AN END TO ALL FORMS OF DIVISION,
RANCOR, VIOLENCE, ENMITY, WAR, OPPRESSION,
DICTATORSHIP, FRAUD AND HARDSHIP.
This marks an end to sin. No one should commit
sin any more. In this kingdom, we are preaching love
and, indeed, oneness. We must not only preach but
we must practice what we preach. This therefore
calls for us to live up to God's desire for mankind. A
local adage states that it is easy to aim but difficult
to shoot. You may say that you are in the kingdom
but are you sure that you have done all that is
required of you before you qualify to inherit this
kingdom?
84. You are supposed to practice love which is the will
of God for all those who should inherit this kingdom.
Aside from this you are deceiving yourself. This love
should not be projected as a church, prayer-house,
school, club, market, etc. Rather it should be made
to form a perfect patch of our lifestyle. It should be
clearly seen in us so that all they that see us or hear
about us, or even come by us, may truly know us as
children of God.
WE SHOULD ALL CRAVE TO BE LIKE OUR FATHER
SO THAT THE SCRIPTURES MIGHT BE FULFILLED;
FOR IT IS RECORDED IN (1 JOHN 3:2) “BELOVED,
NOW ARE WE THE SONS OF GOD, AND IT DOTH NOT
YET 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 IS.”
Today have you seen Him? Is He not an embodiment
of love? If indeed He is; are you like Him? Have you
revealed Him as love, peace, charity, mercy, truth,
meekness, humility, and goodness to the people of
the world?
EXCEPT YOU REVEAL YOUR FATHER TO THE
PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, THEY WILL NOT KNOW
HIM. DIFFERENTLY PUT, LET YOUR LIFESTYLE
REVEAL GOD TO THE WORLD. IF YOU HAVE NOT
DONE THIS THEN YOU ARE TOYING WITH YOUR
MANDATE.
85. In this kingdom, you are told that PEACE is used in
greeting one another. How can this peace reign
when many have not known nor heard about God?
Let the people know God as love, peace, joy,
oneness and the veritable truth.
Brotherhood is unique. It is different from the things
and gathering or associations you have known
before.
Recall that the church, healing homes; healing,
prophesying, and preaching the gospel had long
existed before this period or even before this present
time. Even the payment of tithes and freewill offering
have since been done.
BUT THE WAY THESE THINGS ARE DONE IN THIS KINGDOM
IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM HOW THEY WERE DONE
BEFORE. BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR IS THE
KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS CHRIST, IN CONFIRMATION OF
THE SCRIPTURE AS RECORDED AT HEBREWS 8:8-12.
IN THIS KINGDOM WE DO NOT PLAY WITH WORDS BUT IT IS
A KINGDOM WHERE PRACTICALITY IS THE ORDER OF THE
DAY. HERE WE SPREAD THE WORD OF GOD AND WE ALSO
PRACTICE WHAT WE TEACH. THE PROPHETS OF OLD WERE
KNOWN TO BE PREACHING THE GOSPEL BUT THEY COULD
NOT PRACTICE THOSE THINGS THEY TEACH. BUT TODAY,
THE REVERSE IS THE CASE. WE TEACH THE WORD OF GOD.
AND IF THE LOVE AS PRACTICED HERE IS NOT SEEN IN
YOU, THEN YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE.
In this kingdom, we have nothing to do any more
with the flesh. We no more fornicate, quarrel, fight,
hate, kill or indulge in idolatry. All we do and rejoice
86. in is righteousness. You do not have to do that which
contradicts the Word of God. Love, and indeed true
love, must glaringly be seen in everything you do.
Refer to the First Bible Lesson.
First Bible Lesson: Hebrews 8:9-12
“Not according to the covenant that I made with
their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they
continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them
not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I
will make with the house of Israel after those days,
saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and
write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a
God, and they shall be to me a people:
And they shall not teach every man his neighbour,
and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord:
for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and
their sins and their iniquities will I remember no
more.”
AN ERA OF LOVE
HAVE YOU NOT SEEN GOD'S PROMISES COMING TO PASS
IN OUR TIME? OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HAD FINISHED HIS
ASSIGNMENT OF RECONCILING MAN TO GOD. AND NOW
THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME AND INSTALLED FREEDOM;
AND FORGIVENESS FOR MANKIND, IS NOW THE ORDER OF
THE DAY.
87. No more are your sins remembered. You are no more
living in fear, war, rancor, hatred, violence, affliction
and hardship of any form. Joy and peace has taken
over all miseries encountered by man. THIS IS NO
MORE TIME WHEN ANGELS USED TO MEDIATE
BETWEEN GOD AND MAN. GOD NOW SPEAKS TO US
DIRECTLY WITHOUT THE SERVICE OF AN ANGEL.
It is rather awful and heart-breaking to see that man
attributes the glory of the things done by God to
themselves. When God heals, man would charge a
fee for it, claiming he is the one that did the healing.
In fact, man charges fees for anything God passes
through him to do, namely: prayers, preaching,
rendering of songs etc. This is not supposed to be
the case.
You are expected to change from your past life
to a new one, backed by righteousness. Give love to
all and sundry. Let oneness be seen to be practiced
by you at all times. You should in fact be seen as
new creatures. When this is done, the people of the
world will not fail to praise God.
One of our brothers had the need to claim his child
who was staying in the northern part of Nigeria. He
was advised that before he could claim the child, he
would have to take a legal action. But the brother
told his advisers that his faith forbids him from
taking any legal action. He told the adviser that he
would claim his child even without taking a legal
88. action. As the Father would normally do His things,
the brother claimed his child with ease. This
particular action by the brother is highly
commendable. That is exactly what is required of all
the children of this kingdom.
You have to shun and abstain from evil, knowing
fully well the aftermath of being evil. The people of
this world have succeeded in constituting
themselves into secret societies in the name of
churches. This accounts for the reason why they
discriminate, hate and give concessional treatment
to only their members. Except you are a member in
any of the churches, you cannot be fed, no matter
how hungry you may be. Except you are a staunch
member, you cannot share in their meetings. If they
claim to be worshipping God, where in the scripture
is it provided that one should love those that share
the same beliefs with one? Has this not greatly
contradicted the teachings of Christian universal
love and oneness?
I have brought to you the true teachings of the
kingdom of God; and the same love as preached in
this kingdom have I practiced; and I want you to
equally I practice it as I do. Except you practice this
love just as I have taught you in this kingdom, people
will not know that this is the kingdom of God. And
you will bear the outcome of their ignorance. You
have no reason whatsoever not to practice love.
89. AFTER ALL, IT IS ONLY HERE IN THIS KINGDOM THAT
PEOPLE ARE FREE TO ENJOY THE LEADERSHIP OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS THE ONE DOING EVERYTHING FOR
US. HE IS THE SOLE PROVIDER OF THE NEEDS OF
MANKIND. HE IS THE ONLY TEACHER AND DOER OF
EVERYTHING. YOU ARE THEREFORE WRONG TO ARROGATE
THE GLORY OF ANYTHING DONE TO YOURSELF. THIS
ACCOUNTS FOR THE REASON WHY MANKIND FACES MANY
PROBLEMS TODAY. THIS IS NO MORE THE TIME FOR YOU
TO BE TAUGHT BY ANY MAN.
IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE IT IS TO TEACH AND LEAD
US ALL TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH. HE HAS PROMISED
THAT HE WILL NO MORE REMEMBER OUR SINS AND
INIQUITIES. THIS HE HAS KEPT. WHY THEN DO YOU
IMPUTE SINS TO OTHERS, HATE, QUARREL, CONDEMN AND
DISCRIMINATE AMONG OTHER SINS? IF YOU HAVE DONE
ALL THESE THINGS, OR EVEN ONE OF IT, NOTE THAT YOU
ARE NOT PRACTICING LOVE; HENCE YOU ARE NOT A TRUE
BROTHERHOOD.
IT SERVES YOU NO USEFUL PURPOSE COMING IN
HERE TO SCRAMBLE FOR POSITION OR CARVE OUT EMPIRE
FOR YOURSELF. THIS IS A KINGDOM WHERE EQUALITY IS
THE RULE; AND SAME IS THE WILL OF GOD FOR ALL THE
HEIRS AND HEIRESSES OF THIS KINGDOM.
SUBMIT YOURSELF THEREFORE TO THE
LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT; AND YOU WILL
NOT ERR. EXCEPT YOU SUBJECT YOURSELF TO
THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU
CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO PLEASE GOD. Let
reference be made to the Second Lesson.
