As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue
ye in my love. (John 15:9)
THE KINGDOM OF GOD DOES NOT COUNT ON LARGE
CROWDS. FEW WHO PRACTICE THE WORD ARE BETTER
THAN THOUSANDS WHO DO NOT PRACTICE THE WORD OF
GOD. YOU ARE CALLED UPON TO EXTEND THE LOVE THAT
THE AUTHOR OF OUR FAITH, EVEN THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST HAS LOVED US, TO YOUR FELLOW MEN.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
A NEIGHBOR WILL NOT TEACH NEIGHBOR, NEITHER
WILL BROTHER, SAYING KNOW THE LORD,
BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS SEEN HIM AND ALL HAVE
KNOWN HIM. (Heb 8:11).
In the time past, people searched for God in the
moon, star, sun, etc. They went to Jerusalem,
Jericho, to mountains, inside water, and everywhere
in search of God, but they could not see Him, it is for
this reason that our Lord Jesus Christ made a far-
reaching statement saying: "Wherefore if they shall
say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not
forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it
not. For as the lightening cometh out of the east, and
shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming
of the Son of man be." (Matt 24:26-27). Do not advise
any person to come to Calabar that he/she will see
our Lord Jesus Christ. Do not go there, if anybody
tells you about God, do not go there. For the new
covenant does not tell you that unless you go to
India, England, Israel or Nigeria, you will not see
God. He is everywhere. Whether you are in India,
England or America, and a person comes to you, tell
him to kneel down, confess all his sins and denounce
all his membership of secret societies. Let him
become truly repentant and take him into the water
for baptism by immersion. AS SOON AS HE EMERGES
FROM THE WATER, HE WILL RECEIVE THE HOLY
SPIRIT. THIS IS A CHALLENGE I HAVE THROWN TO
ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD.
LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
He who also says that there is no Holy Spirit in
existence heads toward destruction. It is incumbent
on all the inhabitants of the world that they should
practice this gospel. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO
PRACTICE ANY OTHER WORD OF GOD, MAKE SURE
YOU PRACTICE THIS VERY ONE. It is the ignorance
of this word of God that plunges the whole world into
difficulty and tribulation. God is true and His words
are true.
God is not like a human being. Once He has spoken,
His words must come to manifestation. It is the
promise He has made from the beginning of time.
The creations of God cannot know God. The reason
very many people fall apart and exist in delusion
about God is that they are living in flesh and blood.
THIS IS WHY IT IS NECESSARY THAT THIS GOSPEL
MUST BE SENT TO THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE
WORLD, SO THAT NO PERSON WILL HAVE
ANYTHING WITH WHICH TO DEFEND HIMSELF.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
EMULATE ME:
Many times, I have told you that mine is
leadership by example. I do not teach one
thing and do another. I have several times told
you to emulate me. Ever since I came into this
earth plane, my target is to accomplish my
assignment of changing man. And I have
nothing to do with sin. I have never committed
sin.
My life style is a one way traffic-righteousness
to the core. I do not want to have faith or hope
in any man or the material things of this world.
This is so because I am not of the world.
Getting baptized into this kingdom is an
opportunity for you to refrain from sins
because you have been informed of the
attendant effects. You would not toy with this
rare opportunity accorded you.
God would have used you to accomplish great
task, if you had refrained from sins. He would
have indwelled and used you to His glory for
your salvation and blessing. You suffer
because you are so much in love with the
world at the expense of the love of God. Let
the Holy Spirit direct you, and you will not be
the same again. Remember you have been
advised:
Those who have ears let them hear. May God
bless His Holy words. Amen.

THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
THE HOLY SPIRIT BROUGHT PEACE BECAUSE HE IS
THE KING OF PEACE. HE ALSO BROUGHT JOY AND
EVERLASTING LIFE TO MANKIND.
The memorandum of Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star makes it clear that a Brotherhood member has
no association with the world. Similarly, the Holy
Spirit has nothing to do with weeping, lamentation,
fornication, murder, wars, and all manners of sin.
THE HOLY SPIRIT BROUGHT PEACE BECAUSE HE IS
THE KING OF PEACE. HE ALSO BROUGHT JOY AND
EVERLASTING LIFE TO MANKIND.
Any Brotherhood member who does not possess the
Holy Spirit is an unbeliever. Such members are
faithless. Faith cometh by hearing the words of God.
Give the people the words of God and they will ask
you what to do in order to attain salvation. That was
what happened to the Ethiopian Eunuch. Read Acts
8:26-38. Immediately he was baptized, all of
Eunuch's sins were forgiven and he received the
Holy Spirit. Accordingly, whoever rejects baptism,
his sins will ever be on him in this generation and the
one to come.
This is the last chance given to all children of God to
practice love, humility, charity, patience and all
virtues of Godliness. Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "If
ye love Me, keep my commandments. And I will pray
the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter,
that He may abide with you forever. Even the spirit of
truth whom the world cannot receive, because it
seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but you know
Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you."
(John 14:15-17). Accordingly, the Holy Spirit is the
one doing all the great works in Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star.
Formerly, the world claimed that Brotherhood's
leadership is satanic. Now, they have seen love,
righteousness, peace, patience, meekness, joy and
holiness in the Leader Himself. Their eyes are now
opened. This is because if satan can have true love,
righteousness, holiness and all virtues of Godliness,
then it ceases to be Satan but God. Read the golden
text again.
Golden Text: John 3:5
Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a
man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into
the Kingdom of God."
The Necessity Of A Spiritual Rebirth
In order to gain entry into the Kingdom of God, you
must crucify the body and its lusts; for you cannot
serve God and Satan at the same time. You must
forsake all sins, repent and be baptized; then you
become a newborn child in the Spirit.
The children of the world cannot do any good
because they will be directed by one mind to do good
and the other takes the opposite stand. They end up
doing the wrong thing which is evil. On the contrary,
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members believes
in good deeds. There is peace, love, meekness,
righteousness, joy and all Godly virtues expressed by
only one individual. That is why they usually
comment that all Brotherhood have one voice.
Our Lord Jesus Christ has fulfilled His promise as
stated in John chapter 14 verses 15-16. That
Comforter is now with us. We therefore have nothing
to worry about. We all live unto God and not the
world. We have nothing in common with the world.
What we do is help the world, just to fulfill the
principles of love which is in us.
The Holy Spirit has already revealed that any person
who has any type of charms or diabolical substances
should throw them away. Do not keep any such
things in your house. The Holy Spirit is the force that
is doing all things in this Kingdom. May God bless
His Holy Words. Amen.

THERE EXISTS ONLY ONE GLORY.
Joh 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you,
That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that
ye also love one another.
Joh 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my
disciples, if ye have love one to another.
THIS GREAT AND INDIVISIBLE GLORY IS
MEANT FOR ONLY THE ALMIGHTY GOD AND
HIS SERVANTS.
DO NOT WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO TELL YOU
WHAT TO DO. I WANT YOU TO GET THESE
WORDS DIRECTLY FROM ME. I ALSO SAID THE
KING OF KINGS AND QUEEN MOTHER SHOULD
BE IN ATTENDANCE DURING THE FAREWELL
SESSION. THERE EXIST ONLY ONE GLORY.
THIS GREAT AND INDIVISIBLE GLORY IS
MEANT FOR ONLY THE ALMIGHTY GOD AND
HIS SERVANTS. The rest of other people are
placed in positions of responsibility by this one
God and Father. And these people no matter
their status, stature, race and tongue are
subject to the power that has placed them in
such positions; AND IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT
YOU RESPECT THE GREATEST BEING THAT
HAS KEPT THEM WHERE THEY ARE. WHOEVER
THEREFORE DISREGARDS OR DISOBEYS
THEM, DIRECTLY CHALLENGES GOD, AND
SUCH A PERSON SHALL FACE THE WRATH OF
GOD. YOUR ACT OF DISOBEDIENCE IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SUFFERING TODAY.
IT IS ALSO DUE TO YOUR FAILURE TO HONOR
THE PRESENCE AND AUTHORITY OF GOD IN
MAN. YOU DO NOT HAVE RESPECT FOR ONE
ANOTHER. DO YOU NOT HAVE THE
KNOWLEDGE THAT WHENEVER YOU RESPECT
MAN YOU ARE DOING SO TO GOD?
Clearly if you love one another, you have loved
God and if you are truthful to one another, you
are equally being truthful to God. Whatever
belongs to the Father also belongs to the Son.
Everybody is therefore enjoined to humble
himself so as to carry out the instructions
issued out by the ones that God has placed in
positions of authority. By so doing, you will
receive many blessings from God. If you
adhere to these instructions by respecting
those in authority and also endeavor to
practice righteousness, then would
Brotherhood be recognized. Note that if
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is
recognized, it would invariably mean that you
are equally recognized. The reason being that
whatever honor and glory are accorded
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star the same
which extends to you as well. Also, know that
until Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is fully
glorified, you cannot have full glory.
WHEN GOD IS GLORIFIED THE SON IS ALSO
GLORIFIED
So, is it not incumbent on you to magnify the
glory of God so that consequently you will also
be glorified? Anybody who serves God is
glorified alongside God. This is in conformity
with what the Bible affirms that; whoever
believes in the Son invariably believes in the
Father who had sent Him.
THEREFORE, FROM NOW, IT IS ABSOLUTELY
UNNECESSARY TO PLEAD WITH THE KING OF
KINGS OR THE HOLY QUEEN MOTHER TO
TAKE YOU TO THE FATHER. DO NOT ALSO
SEEK TO HAVE AUDIENCE WITH THE KING OF
KINGS OR HOLY QUEEN MOTHER. YOU
SHOULD DESIST FROM SEEKING TO BE TAKEN
TO ANY PERSONALITY IN BROTHERHOOD OF
THE CROSS AND STAR TO DEMAND FOR ONE
FAVOR OR THE OTHER.
Do not involve in backbiting, gossiping,
mourning, murmuring and other acts capable
of causing discrimination or segregation in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, for the
entire world has been united into one
indivisible fold.
WHAT IS REQUIRED OF YOU IS EXHIBITION
OF ABSOLUTE FAITH IN GOD THE FATHER. DO
OBEY HIS INJUNCTIONS AND ABIDE STRICTLY
BY HIS WORDS. YOUR POST AS A ROYAL
HIGHNESS, BISHOP, PASTOR, APOSTLE,
CHRIST'S STUDENT OR SERVANT, DEACONESS
OR CHILD OF GOD DOES NOT MATTER; WHAT
YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DO IS TO OBEY GOD'S
WORD. YOU MUST ALWAYS HAVE IMPLICIT
FAITH IN HIS WORD. ALSO YOU HAVE TO OBEY
ALL CONSTITUTED AUTHORITIES. THOSE OF
YOU IN THE KINGDOM HAVE TO HONOR AND
RESPECT ONE ANOTHER. DO HUMBLE
YOURSELF SINCE YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE
ALL THE MESSENGERS OF GOD IN HIS
KINGDOM. REMEMBER THAT AS GOD IS
REVEALED SO ALSO ARE YOU REVEALED.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
THE UNLIMITED POWER:
THERE IS NO POWER OR PERSON THAT EXIST
APART FROM JESUS CHRIST. THERE IS NO MALE,
FEMALE, CHILDREN, HEIRS, SLAVE ETC, FOR IT IS
CHRIST ALONE WHO EXISTS IN ALL THINGS.
All those who proclaim to have enrolled in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and later left are
those who do not seek for God and His kingdom.
They are also those who are not ready to mortify the
flesh and become one with Christ. Also, those who
are in this group are those who do not care for the
heavenly but mundane things. ANYONE WHO HAS
AGREED TO MORTIFY THE FLESH HAS NO RIGHT TO
DANCE TO THE TUNE OF THE FLESH ANY LONGER.
RATHER, HE MUST ALWAYS BE LED AND
CONTROLLED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. There are some
people who go into the bush in order to possess this
power but their effort end in fiasco. The medical
personnel do pray always to be blessed with this
kind of power, but to no avail. The reverend fathers
too seek for this power with all their best but to no
avail. BUT IF THERE ARE SOME OF YOU HERE WHO
WOULD MORTIFY THE FLESH, BELIEVE IN GOD AND
PURGE YOURSELVES OF SIN, YOU WILL BE
BLESSED WITH THE POWER OF GOD WITHOUT
LIMIT. THERE IS NO POWER OR PERSON THAT
EXIST APART FROM JESUS CHRIST. THERE IS NO
MALE, FEMALE, CHILDREN, HEIRS, SLAVE ETC, FOR
IT IS CHRIST ALONE WHO EXISTS IN ALL THINGS.
The word of God which has it that, "WHEN THE
SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO
ALL THE TRUTH, FOR HE WILL NOT SPEAK ON HIS
OWN AUTHORITY. BUT WHATEVER HE HEARS HE
WILL SPEAK, AND HE WILL DECLARE TO YOU THE
THINGS TO COME..." (John 16:13), is vindicated. BUT
HAVE YOU ACCEPTED THE PROMISED COMFORTER?
IT IS SAID IN OUR FIRST LESSON THUS: FOR AS
MANY OF YOU AS WERE BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST
HAVE PUT ON CHRIST. THERE IS NEITHER SLAVE
NOR FREE, THERE IS NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE,
FOR YOU ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS. SEQUEL
TO THE STATEMENT ABOVE, THERE IS NEED TO
PURGE OURSELVES OF SEGREGATION AND
EMBRACE ONENESS AND UNITY HERE IN THE
KINGDOM. READ THE FIRST LESSON AGAIN.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
THIS IS THE ERA OF THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT.
MOHAMMED AFFIRMED THAT IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT
THAT HAS THE RIGHT OF LEADERSHIP. OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST ALSO SAID THAT, THE HOLY SPIRIT
OF TRUTH WOULD LEAD THE WORLD, AND IN
CONFORMITY WITH THIS PROMISE, HE HAS COME
TO LEAD YOU. HAVE YOU RECEIVED HIM BY
MORTIFYING THE FLESH? NOTE THAT THE ERA OF
FLESH HAD SINCE PASSED. THIS IS THE ERA OF
THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
THE KINGDOM HAS ARRIVED:
*BUT THE MOST PATHETIC THING IS THAT, IN THE
ROMAN CATHOLIC FOLD, THERE IS NO MEMBER,
RANGING FROM THE POPE TO THE CONGREGATION
WHO HAD MORTIFIED THE FLESH. THIS IS SO
BECAUSE THERE IS NO MEMBER WHO HAS
ACTUALLY GOT BAPTIZED AND BECOME ONE WITH
CHRIST.
*IPSO FACTO, THEY HAVE NO SHARE IN GOD'S
KINGDOM. THIS IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE OF
THEM WHO HAS DIED WITH CHRIST SO TO SPEAK.
And if you have not died with Christ, how would you
then resurrect with Him?
THE NEW BIRTH: Beloved, the directive in this
gospel is what everyone is expected to
undergo in this kingdom. And it is meant for a
particular people, so that they should not
continue in their problems. Very many people
are looking for this kingdom and this particular
gospel. And the moment they come to accept
baptism into this kingdom and read it, they will
deny the world and the fullness thereof. Put
differently, you deny the world and the things
thereof once you have been baptized into this
kingdom. Because it is there and then that is,
after baptism that you have become one with
Christ. This explains why Christ said, "Verily,
verily, I Say unto thee, Except a man be born of
water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into
the kingdom of God." (John 3:5).
THE SPIRIT IN THIS BIBLICAL EXCEPT REFERS
TO PUTTING ON CHRIST AS GARMENT AND
MORTIFYING THE FLESH. THIS GOES IN LINE
WITH THE CONTENT OF THE SECOND LESSON
WHICH HAS IT THAT: "THOSE WHO BELONG
TO CHRIST JESUS HAVE CRUCIFIED THE
FLESH WITH ITS PASSIONS AND DESIRES."
This connotes that all those who belong to
Christ are sinless and do not have need for
materialism. Our golden text informs us further
that there is no longer Jews, Greek, child,
slaves, among others. This means that Christ
alone is in existence and in all things.
Christ was formally a Carpenter, but right from
the day He renounced the things of the world
and lived in spirit, He was taken into the
wilderness by the Spirit. And right from then till
now, He has no other work than to serve God.
Saul was the enemy to Christ's followers. But
right from the time he went to torture the
followers of God and was got subdued by
Christ, he did not have any other work to do
than serving God. After he was caught by
Christ, he was baptized and made one with
Christ. And till now, Paul has no concern with
sin and materialism.
The book entitled, FIRST STEP TO GOD has
enjoined us all to purge immoralities, theft
falsehood and other vices after the “rebirth
baptism.” But today, the reverse is the case,
because it is not uncommon to see some
people going back to indulge in sins after their
baptism. If you are in this group, the question
is what kind of baptism did you accept? Do you
not know that going back to your former self
(sinful acts) after baptism tantamounts to the
second death? This is the bane of the world.
No matter who a person was, so long as he has
come into the kingdom, accepts baptism and
decides to serve God diligently, such a person
has denied and renounced all form of sins and
materialism.
RESURRECT WITH CHRIST:
Be informed that right from the day you were
immersed into the water in the name of
baptism, you have become one with Christ, and
it then becomes imperative that, you must not
go back to defile yourself again with the things
of the world. That is why Christ strongly
enjoined that, anyone who is not born of water
and the Holy Spirit is not worthy to enter into
the kingdom of God. BUT THE MOST PATHETIC
THING IS THAT, IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC FOLD,
THERE IS NO MEMBER, RANGING FROM THE POPE
TO THE CONGREGATION WHO HAD MORTIFIED THE
FLESH. THIS IS SO BECAUSE THERE IS NO MEMBER
WHO HAS ACTUALLY GOT BAPTIZED AND BECOME
ONE WITH CHRIST. IPSO FACTO, THEY HAVE NO
SHARE IN GOD'S KINGDOM. THIS IS BECAUSE
THERE IS NO ONE OF THEM WHO HAS DIED
WITH CHRIST SO TO SPEAK. And if you have
not died with Christ, how would you then
resurrect with Him? And if you have not
resurrected with Him, how then can you have a
share in His kingdom?
SIMILAR THING APPLIES TO THE MOSLEMS WORLD
AMONG OTHERS WHO SCOFF AT BAPTISM BY
IMMERSION. ACCEPTING BAPTISM AND
MORTIFYING THE FLESH CONSTITUTE DYING AND
RESURRECTING WITH CHRIST. AND ONCE THIS IS
DONE, THE SPIRIT HAS BEEN MADE TO TAKE
DOMINION OVER THE FLESH. AND THIS IS ALSO
THE WHEN CHRIST HAS BEEN MADE TO RULE OVER
YOU. INFACT, THIS IS A PROBLEM FREE PERIOD IN
YOUR LIFE.

……………………………………………………………………
THE SEASON OF GOD'S MERCY
The Gospel of today, (Sunday, March 1st.
1992), must be spread all over the world both
in radio, television and in the print media.
It is said that the children of God and the
angels are those who shall judge the world (1
Cor 6:2). A handful of people in the world are
watching, waiting, and they are still looking
out to see when this would come to pass.
Already judgement is going on. You have heard
an eloquent testimony of that brother from
Rivers State (Nigeria), who went into a trance,
and he saw how the great judgement of God
was being delivered against those who do not
follow the path of rectitude.
That is the reason you heard from the First
Bible Lesson that "this gospel of the kingdom
shall be preached to all nations; and then the
end shall come."
WHATSOEVER MEANS YOU CAN USE TO
SPREAD THE TEACHINGS OF GOD, DO IT. I
have already given you this gospel before. The
stage we are now at is known as The Season
of God's Mercy, where judgement is beginning
in the house of God. You will also recall the
testimony a certain brother gave about a
strange dream he had. He had seen that people
were being swept aside by an ill wind. And
when he inquired in that dream about the
interpretation and significance of that dream,
he was told that those swept aside by the wind
are those who still indulge in the senseless
habit of eating meat and fish.
*I have warned you several times to refrain
from committing these sins, such as telling
lies, stealing and fornication. All these vices
tantamount to Judgement of God.
The kingdom that we are in is the highest
court in the world. I am not talking about a
prayer house. If you are a Christian, a Muslim,
or Hindu or Buddhist etc., the moment you
believe and you are baptized you shall be
saved. If you are a pagan, a juju priest, etc.,
once you refrain from all the diabolical ways of
the world, and you become baptized into
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, and you
believe in this name, you shall be saved.
God is impartial. I do not say partial, but I say
impartial. God does not cheat any person,
irrespective of your tribe, creed, or religious
inclination. When once you believe and in this
name be baptized, you shall be saved. You
have to go to all the corners of the world and
impart these teachings to those who have not
heard about me before. IT IS NOT BY
BUILDING A HUT AND GOING THERE EVERY
DAY AND YOU START BARKING, WAILING, IN
JESUS' NAME OR CALLING ON THIS OR THAT
NAME. THESE WOULD NEVER SAVE YOU.
*YOUR DUTY DOES NOT STOP AT BUILDING
CATHEDRALS OR BETHELS HERE AND THERE.
RATHER YOU ARE TO GO ALL THE CORNERS
OF THE WORLD AND TELL THE WORLD ABOUT
THESE RECONDITE TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST THAT WHOSOEVER SHALL
BELIEVE AND BE BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED.
Your work is limited when you erect a small
building or bethel and you perform healing and
other forms of spiritual services. A great
number of people have not heard about
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and my
teachings. But a time shall come when the
world shall know and hear about Brotherhood.
That is why many people harbour doubts about
Brotherhood, claiming that since they were
baptized before in their various churches in the
world, that how come they are being asked
again to baptize into Brotherhood of the Cross
and Star. That is the reason many of them
cannot come into Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star. THE MOMENT YOU CONCEIVE THIS
THOUGHT WITHIN YOU, YOU ARE GONE.
Others erroneously claim that since they have
given alms to the poor and the needy, that they
are saved because they have done the
injunctions of God. You are equally lost. IF
YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN THIS WONDERFUL
NAME AND GET BAPTIZED, YOU SHALL
PERISH.
You have heard the testimony of the former
staunch member of Cherubim and Seraphim
Church Movement the other day. He claimed
he was all and in all and one of the gurus in the
movement. When the call of God reached him,
God instructed him to go and get baptized
along with his entire family and other members
of his household, otherwise he was going to be
transferred to the great beyond with his entire
family. When he harkened to the directive of
God, he was saved with his family from the
imminent obliteration.
God does not save us because of our
righteousness but out of His grace and mercy.
If you are a herbalist, necromancer or an
occultist, the moment you come before God,
prostrate and confess your sins, believe and
get baptized and in addition you denounce all
the diabolical things you had indulged in
before, you shall be saved.
*I have warned you to stop stealing and to flee
from committing fornication and crime. I
EQUALLY TOLD YOU THAT THE ONLY WAY
OUT IS TO BAPTIZE AND RECEIVE THE HOLY
SPIRIT AND YOU WILL BE SAVED. ONCE YOU
DO NOT HAVE ALL THE VIRTUES OF GOD IN
YOU, YOU HAVE NO SHARE IN THE KINGDOM
OF GOD.
You perform miracles by raising the dead,
healing the sick, but you refuse to accept
baptism, WHO WILL HELP YOU WHEN YOU
PASS AWAY? Clear the bush and leave it for
me and I will set the fire. SPREAD THIS
GOSPEL OF TRUTH TO THE ENTIRE WORLD;
TO THE BIG PERSONALITIES IN THE WORLD
AND WHETHER THEY ACCEPT YOU OR NOT
SHOULD NOT BOTHER YOU, FOR I WILL
CARRY OUT THE OTHER ASPECT OF IT.
*ALL THE GREAT AND MIGHTY WORKS DONE
HERE IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND
STAR ARE DONE THROUGH THE ACCEPTANCE
OF THE TEACHINGS AND THE BAPTISM OF
GOD. You are aware that for someone to
accept baptism is not an easy task. Some
people have remained in their denominations
for years, and they have not received baptism.
*I have not told you to pressure them to be
baptized and become saved. THIS IS BECAUSE
IF THE FATHER WERE TO REVEAL THE
SIGNIFICANCE OF BAPTISM TO US,
ESPECIALLY THE DAY WE ARE BAPTIZED, WE
SHOULD BE CELEBRATING FEAST ON EVERY
OTHER ANNIVERSARY OF THAT PARTICULAR
DAY THROUGHOUT THE REST OF OUR LIVES.
*THIS IS BECAUSE IT IS THE VERY DAY WE
ARE BAPTIZED THAT ALL OUR SINS OF THE
PAST GENERATIONS WERE CLEANSED AND
WE BECAME CHANGED UNTO THE HOLY
SPIRIT. If someone comes to you to ask you
about the intricacies of Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star, do not say anything. Let the
one get baptized first before you pay him or her
any attention.
*You are now in BCS and you believe someone
who gives you vision and extracts charms from
your body. WHAT ABOUT BAPTISM? IN THE
CASE OF BAPTISM, MONEY IS NOT REQUIRED.
BAPTISM DOES NOT COST YOU ANYTHING
PROVIDED YOU BELIEVE IN THIS NAME.
Our Lord Jesus Christ told Nicodemus that
unless he was born again that he would not
enter the kingdom of God. Nicodemus asked
Our Lord Jesus Christ how could he be born
again, when he was old and already a full
grown man? The answer that Christ gave him
was that UNLESS NICODEMUS WAS BAPTIZED
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY
SPIRIT, HE WOULD NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM
OF GOD (John 3:1-5).
*You are a member of Amorc. If you do not
denounce it and accept baptism, you shall not
be saved. WHOEVER MUST ESCAPE THE
WRATH OF GOD AND ACCEPT BAPTISM, AND
BELIEVE, SHALL BE SAVED.
*I HAVE TOLD YOU TIME AND TIME AGAIN
THAT A BROTHERHOOD CHILD IS STANDING
ON A ROCK AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM FOR
THEM. THE UNDOING IS THAT AFTER
CONFESSING OUR SINS, WE RETURN TO
COMMIT THE SAME SIN WE HAD CONFESSED
OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
*MANY PEOPLE ARE SERVING VARIOUS JAIL
TERMS AND SOME ARE IN DETENTION CAMPS
BECAUSE OF THEIR DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD.
THEY WERE GIVEN THE POWER OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT BUT THEY REFUSED TO ACCEPT
BAPTISM AND BELIEVE IN GOD.
*THE SAME PROBLEM APPLIES TO PATIENTS
IN HOSPITAL WARDS. IF ONLY THE
GOVERNMENT WOULD ALLOW BROTHERHOOD
OF THE CROSS AND STAR MEMBERS TO GO
TO ALL THESE PLACES, HOSPITALS, PRISON
YARDS, POLICE CELLS, ETC. TO PRAY FOR
THE INMATES, YOU WILL SEE THAT SOON
THESE PEOPLE WOULD BE REFORMED,
DISCHARGED AND ACQUITTED.
*ANYBODY WHO IS SICK, ASK HIM TO
CONFESS HIS SINS AND BELIEVE IN THIS
NAME AND BECOME BAPTIZED, AND ALL WILL
BE WELL AND THE SICKNESSES AND
TRIBULATIONS WOULD VANISH.
** BAPTISM IN ESSENCE MEANS THE
DENOUNCING OF ALL MUNDANE PLEASURES,
VICES, DIABOLICAL DEITIES OF THE WORLD
AND NEVER AGAIN GOING BACK TO COMMIT
THE VARIOUS SINS ENUMERATED. ONCE WE
HAVE COMPLIED WITH THESE, WE SHALL BE
SAVED.
READ: MATTHEW 28:19-20: "Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end
of the world. Amen."
IF YOU GO OUTSIDE AND START ERECTING
MANSION, CATHEDRALS, HERE AND THERE,
AND YOU BUY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, ALL
THESE THINGS WOULD NOT HELP YOU. **THE
MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO GO INTO THE
WORLD AND INFORM THOSE WHO HAVE
NEVER HEARD ABOUT ME AND BCS, TELL
THEM THE TEACHINGS IN THIS KINGDOM.
All the problems and tribulations you heard
from all the nations are because they have of
their refusal to surrender and recognize the
presence of God on earth.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
I DID NOT WANT TO BAPTIZE JUST ANYBODY, THAT
IS, THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST.
In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, for
instance, I did not baptize any person from
1956 to 1957. It was just a month to our
departure to 26 Mbukpa that I started baptizing
people. This was because, I did not want to
baptize just anybody, that is, those who do not
believe in our Lord Jesus Christ. The first set
of converts were baptized between the end of
July, 1958 and August of the same year. On
this note, therefore, no baptism should be
administered to any person who has not
believed in God, and does not know what is sin
and cannot accept having ever committed any.
Before 1958, all the people who came for
prayers and to attend services, had to
denounce their various churches, cults, secret
societies, and other sources of power they
believed in. How then could I have baptized
such people? It was at 26 Mbukpa Road,
Calabar that some people started discarding
their rings, bangles, charms, and amulets. If
God did not apply His great wisdom, He would
not have had any follower on earth. At that
time, I could not place my hands on people's
head for any reason if he could not confess all
his sins. If he had begrudged any person, he
had to go first to make peace before I could
pray for him.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
THE KINGDOM OF THE WORLD HAS
BECOME THAT OF GOD AND HIS CHRIST
WHEN IT IS SAID THAT THE KINGDOM OF THE
WORLD HAS BECOME THAT OF GOD AND HIS
CHRIST, (REV 11:15), YOU ARE THE ONES BEING
REFERRED TO.
WHEN IT IS SAID THAT THE KINGDOM OF THE
WORLD HAS BECOME THAT OF GOD AND HIS
CHRIST, (REV 11:15), YOU ARE THE ONES
BEING REFERRED TO. FORMERLY YOU WERE
IDOL-WORSHIPPERS BUT TODAY, YOU ARE A
BROTHERHOOD MEMBER ENJOYING THE FULL
PROTECTION OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD. THIS IS
BECAUSE FROM THE VERY DAY YOU
BELIEVED AND GOT BAPTIZED, YOU HAD
RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT. Therefore, the
Kingdom of this world has become that of the
Almighty God and His Christ. A true child of
God in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star
serves God 24 hours without any complaint.
Those of the world cannot stay awake one
night without complaint.
It is said: "fear not them which kill the body,
but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear
Him which is able to destroy both soul and
body in hell". (Matt 10:28). Today, all members
of Brotherhood are free from the above
warning because they are not under any law.
Nothing can kill you anymore. It is very
pathetic to see a Brotherhood member going to
a necromancer, juju doctor, or taking any form
of medication. This is because, Christ having
taken possession of you, no other power works
in you. If you are involved in any diabolical
practices against any person, it cannot be
effective. It should be known that, you are not
what you think you are. All Brotherhood
members are not just human beings, they are
"Spirit". It is this "spirit" that does all things.
You are only witnesses to the work of the Holy
Spirit. Any person who points an accusing
finger at you, does so to Our Lord Jesus Christ.
To prove this, if you go back to eat the former
food which you discarded, you will not be
comfortable. Thus, the choice of food to be
taken is the entire prerogative of the Holy
Spirit indwelling you.
But rest assured that you are in the new world
and in the Kingdom of God. You are therefore,
free to go about preaching, singing and
testifying about it. Read the second bible
lesson again.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE AUGUST
PENTECOSTAL
JOHN 1:28 30 These things were done in
Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was
baptizing. 29: The next day John seeth Jesus
coming unto him, and Behold the Lamb of God,
which takes away the sin of the world. 30: This
is of whom I said, After me cometh which is
preferred before me: for he is before me.
JOHN 3:28 Ye yourselves bear me witness,
said, I am not the Christ, but sent before him.
29: He that has the bride is the bridegroom: but
the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth
and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of
the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is
fulfilled. 30: He must increase, but I must
decrease.
Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto
repentance: but he that cometh after me is
mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy
to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy
Ghost, and with fire:
Mat 3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will
throughly purge his floor, and gather his
wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the
chaff with unquenchable fire.
Mat 3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to
Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
Mat 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have
need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou
to me?
Mat 3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him,
Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh
us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he
suffered him.
Mat 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized,
went up straightway out of the water: and, lo,
the heavens were opened unto him, and he
saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove,
and lighting upon him:
Mat 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying,
This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased.
AUGUST IS A MONTH OF GREAT SIGNIFICANCE
AUGUST WAS THE MONTH THAT OUR LORD -JESUS
CHRIST WAS REVEALED FOR BEING SO HUMBLE
THAT HE HAD TO GO TO JOHN THE BAPTIST FOR
BAPTISM BY IMMERSION.
Our Lord Jesus Christ was baptized at the age of 30
(thirty) in the month of August. That was the day He
died the first death, and for that reason, the second
death had no dominion over Him; and so He
resurrected.
AUGUST IS A MONTH OF GREAT SIGNIFICANCE, SO
WE ARE NOT ONLY COMMEMORATING THE
HISTORIC EXODUS OF THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE
CROSS AND STAR FROM NO. 8 ETON STREET TO NO
26 MBUKPA ROAD, BUT WE ARE ALSO CELEBRATING
BECAUSE IT IS THE MONTH OF CHRIST'S
REVELATION.
THE BISHOPS WERE APPOINTED AND ORDAINED IN
AUGUST. DO NOT DOUBT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE
MONTH OF AUGUST.
August is a month of great significance, so we are
not only commemorating the historic exodus of the
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star from No. 8 Eton
Street to No 26 Mbukpa Road, but we are also
celebrating because it is the month of Christ's
revelation. August was the month that our Lord -
Jesus Christ was revealed for being so humble that
He had to go to John the Baptist for baptism by
immersion. Before His baptism, Christ had no
disciples. It was after His baptism and revelation
that He began to have disciples. Recall what God
said about our Lord Jesus Christ that; "And lo a voice
from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in
whom I am well pleased." Matthew 3: 17.
A lot of great and significant events take place in the
month of August. Professor Assasu Inyang Ibom's
first book was read in the Kingdom in August; THE
BISHOPS WERE APPOINTED AND ORDAINED IN
AUGUST. DO NOT DOUBT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE
MONTH OF AUGUST. Everybody has to appreciate
God's kindness to mankind in whatever he does in
life. It is through these deeds that salvation is
extended to the entire world, in the Name of our
Lord Jesus Christ. THIS IS A VERY LUCKY
GENERATION; HENCE, ALL PEOPLE SHOULD GIVE
THANKS TO GOD FOR THE ENORMOUS GOODNESS
HE HAS SHOWN TO US. This is God's Kingdom and
not the kingdom of the world. In this Kingdom,
people are not mandated or forced to carry out
certain duties or order. RATHER THEY ARE ALLOWED
TO LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT AND ADHERE TO WHAT
THEY ARE DIRECTED SPIRITUALLY. THAT IS WHAT
IS REFERRED TO AS "SHOW LOVE" OR "FREE-WILL
OFFERING".

THE BIRTHS OF THESE TWO PERSONALITIES
HAVE PUT TROUBLE INTO THE WORLD.
JOHN THE BAPTIST AND OUR LORDJESUS CHRIST
*IF YOU DECIDE TO DECEIVE YOURSELF THAT
THE WORD OF GOD WILL NOT STAND, THEN
YOU ARE LYING. GOD HAS NOT EMPOWERED
ANY MAN. HE ALONE HAS THE POWER AND
AUTHORITY. NOT EVEN THE ANGELS CAN
EXERCISE ANY POWER. WE ALL HAVE TO
GLORIFY GOD.
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled
which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet,
saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and
shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his
name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is,
God with us.
Brethren, have you heard that? He has said no
prophecy of God will not be fulfilled
accordingly. Predestination is what is
prevailing now. When hopes are exhausted the
Redeemer cometh. It is true that the world has
lost all hopes about the coming of the Lord and
has even concluded that he is not coming
anymore. But what about the prophesy that a
virgin girl was to bring forth the Messiah? The
Messiah came when all hopes about Him had
run out. But eventually He did come. Truly,
brethren, all prophecies from God whether they
are yet to be given or have been given already,
will be fulfilled.
When you stand, derail or fall you are doing so
unto God. It is only God’s will alone that has to
be fulfilled. All those who lament, those who
boast, those who are proud, those who are
sorrowful, those who cry, they are all foolish.
Have you therefore not seen how this kingdom
has confounded the whole world?
The births of these two personalities have put
trouble into the world. Herod himself beheaded
John. He had gone to places in search of John.
Because Herod could not arrest or find John,
he sent the assassins to him. IF YOU DECIDE
TO DECEIVE YOURSELF THAT THE WORD OF
GOD WILL NOT STAND, THEN YOU ARE LYING.
GOD HAS NOT EMPOWERED ANY MAN. HE
ALONE HAS THE POWER AND AUTHORITY.
NOT EVEN THE ANGELS CAN EXERCISE ANY
POWER. WE ALL HAVE TO GLORIFY GOD.
WE IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR
ARE THOSE WHO WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN
TRUTH. WE ARE THOSE WHO REVERENCE GOD. WE
ARE THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN GOD AND TO US GOD
IS THE FIRST AND THE LAST. WE ARE NOT
SADUCEESSES, PUBLICANS, NEITHER ARE WE
PHARISEES, NOR HEATHENS.
WE ARE THE KINGDOM OF GOD. WE ARE THOSE
THAT WORSHIP THE TRUE GOD. WE ARE
FOLLOWING GOD FOOLISHLY, LIKE SHEEP BECAUSE
WE KNOW THAT WE DO NOT EXIST AT ALL, AND
THAT WE DO NOT HAVE EYES TO SEE, NOR THE
ABILITY TO DO ANYTHING. ONLY GOD HAS THE
OVERALL ENERGY TO DO EVERYTHING. IT WAS
EVEN WRITTEN ABOUT US THAT WE SHALL FOLLOW
HIM JUST AS WE ARE DOING.
God saves us by grace not by our good works, indeed
not by any parameter but by sheer love and mercy.
Know it very clearly that before the foundation of the
world was laid, the kingdom had existed and it shall
forever exist. Read the Second Bible
LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
THE BAPTISM OF JOHN WAS FOR REPENTANCE,
WHILE THAT OF BROTHERHOOD IS FOR
FORGIVENESS AND REMITTANCE OF SINS. I THANK
GOD FOR THE BAPTISM OF JOHN THE BAPTIST,
BECAUSE IT BROUGHT MAN TO THE KNOWLEDGE
OF THE TRUE GOD.
Acts 2:38-39
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be
baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus
Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall
receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the
promise is unto you, and to your children, and
to all that are afar off, even as many as the
Lord our God shall call."
The Need For Repentance
The above lesson is applicable to Brotherhood
of the Cross and Star. As stated earlier, the
baptism of John was for repentance, while that
of Brotherhood is for forgiveness and
remittance of sins. I thank God for the baptism
of John the Baptist, because it brought man to
the knowledge of the true God. Through his
baptism, people believed in our Lord Jesus
Christ. After the Baptism of remittance of sins,
the Holy Spirit is given to such a believer. In
fact, this promise has been made manifest in
the children of Brotherhood. Whoever baptizes
you, be he a child or an adult as long as he is a
baptized Brotherhood, your sins are remitted.
However, if the baptism is administered by any
other person who is not in Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star, it changes to that of
repentance. Every other baptism in the world is
undertaken for repentance; so that those who
accept such baptism may believe in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star as the New
Kingdom of God.
Simon Peter was baptized seven times before
he met our Lord Jesus Christ. If he had not
received the baptism of John, he would not
have known our Lord Jesus Christ. After the
era of our Lord Jesus Christ, I have not seen or
heard of anybody who truly baptized people for
the remission of his/her sins. Every person
seems to be baptized so that their problems
may vanish. Henceforth, let it be known that if
you force someone, by much persuasion to be
baptized, it means that you are the one who
had accepted the baptism and not him/her.
The best thing to do is to preach the word of
God to someone. When the person listens, and
by what he hears, asks how he/she can be
saved, you then have the chance to inform him
to confess, repent and refrain from all sins;
then he will be baptized. Let him know that
after the baptism, he will receive the Holy
Spirit. Consequently, if he believes and
accepts baptism, he is saved. Somebody who
is entangled in so many secret societies and
cults, and who is deeply involved in traditional
medicine and occultism may become bored
about his situation. If he comes to you to know
what he may do to be saved, you can tell him
that, unless he forgoes all those former
entanglements, repents and baptizes, he
cannot receive salvation. If he believes and
baptizes his sins will be remitted and he will be
saved.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
THE REIGN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Do not argue with any person about the
scriptures. Any person who argues that God is
in existence, that our Lord Jesus Christ came
and that the Holy Spirit is in existence, tell him
to forget about it.
Tell him to get himself ready for baptism. Do
not take him to baptism in water near Ambo
Street, so that he might say that you have
probably introduced incredible things unto the
water. Take him to water distant from Ambo.
Let him take the baptism there. Provided such
a person confesses all his sins and denounces
his membership of secret societies. He should
as well empty his heart of all grudges against
people. He should denounce and right away
disassociate himself of juju and all forms of
concoctions. Let him throw himself into
absolute contrition over his sinfulness then get
himself baptized. He will certainly receive the
power of the Holy Spirit.
This is the only way. There is no other way.
This is the reign of the Holy Spirit. It is
impossible that you can pass through the
windows and enter the house. You cannot take
a roundabout road to get into the house. It is
imperative that you must pass through the
gateway. Then the great usher will open the
door for you. If this direct way were to be of no
importance, why did Our Lord Jesus Christ go
to John?
Our Lord Jesus Christ in childhood was taken
to the temple for blessing according to the
order of Moses. Further, according to the law
of Abraham, He was circumcised. Yet the two
systems were not relevant for Him. In order to
fulfill that which was written in the scriptures,
He went on His own volition to John and
requested for water baptism. Then He was
baptized through immersion by John. John
argued that He should rather baptize Him. But
Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "do it now, for so it
is right we should do this." (Matt 3:15).
This can clearly show you that baptism is very
necessary; it is the only key which can unlock
the way to the Father. There is no other
possible way. It was through this way of
baptism that Our Lord Jesus Christ achieved
the divine grace, that as He came out of water
He was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit. The
voice came out proclaiming: "This is my
beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, hear
ye Him."
For a period of 29 years, He was in Jerusalem,
going about; no person knew Him and had not
even a disciple. His name was not heard
abroad. From the moment He went through the
normal process of baptism and received the
Holy Spirit, His name generated an echo of
prominence. Then He started the work. The
Holy Spirit led Him to the wilderness and He
started doing marvelous works. He started
raising the dead, making the blind to see, deaf
to hear, the dumb to speak and the lame to
walk.
Now you say you want to serve God. You want
to be the minister of God, you will first go to
Canada, Britain, America, India and the rest of
the countries in the world to study. I ask you,
is God's work ever subjected to human studies
or learnings? You go to university to study.
Stop studying again and worrying yourself
about it. Go and process yourself through
baptism and receive the Holy Spirit as a gift.
Right from that moment you go through this,
you will preach the gospel; you will heal; you
will see God and know Him and His power.
Right now you are arguing like a foolish
person. A person on top of a palm tree says the
palm fruit is not ripe but you stay on the
ground and say it is very ripe. Are you a
sensible person?
A person who has been baptized and received
the Holy Spirit, tells you that he has seen God
face to face. That he has seen Our Lord Jesus
Christ; that he has also seen the Holy Spirit
and the host of angels, you argue with him and
hush him to shut up that Jesus Christ has not
yet come; nor has the Holy Spirit. You are still
on the ground.
I do not even talk about those people who
pretend to be baptized by pouring water in the
basin, and sprinkling it on people's foreheads.
What is the meaning of that? I would not like to
talk about those who wrap a flag around
people's heads and describe this to be
baptism. Can this be found in the Bible?

THE UNIVERSE, LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU On:-"BAPTISM BY
IMMERSION" From: HERALD OF THE NEW KINGDOM, Fri. May 4-
Thur.May 10, 1984.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..........
IF BAPTISM WERE TO BE OF NO IMPORTANCE, OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST COULD NOT HAVE REQUESTED
JOHN THE BAPTIST TO GET HIM BAPTIZED.
Read Matthew 3:13-15.
Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto
John, to be baptized of him. But John, forbad him,
saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and
comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto
him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to
fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS BAPTIZED AT THE
AGE OF 30 (THIRTY) IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST.
THAT WAS THE DAY HE DIED THE FIRST DEATH,
AND FOR THAT REASON, THE SECOND DEATH HAD
NO DOMINION OVER HIM; AND SO HE
RESURRECTED. That is what is applicable to all the
children of God. Death has no power over them. What
you call death is no death but a spiritual transfer.
The first death is that day you repent and completely
refrain from all sins and get baptized. When you are
baptized (by immersion) and do not go back to your
former vices, but surrender yourself to the service of
God, you cannot die anymore. This is because, you
have no more association with the agents of death.
What are the agents of death? They are fornication,
lies, stealing, murdering, backbiting and many other
vices.
All those who are still lustful of the world and the
fullness thereof, in spite of their baptism, shall be
damned. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, FOR INSTANCE,
WAS A QUALIFIED CARPENTER FROM HIS
YOUTHFUL AGE TO THE AGE OF THIRTY. ALL
ALONG, HE WAS DOING THE CARPENTRY WORK,
BUT AFTER HIS BAPTISM, HE RECEIVED THE HOLY
SPIRIT WITHOUT MEASURE; AND SINCE THEN, HE
DID NOT GO BACK TO CARPENTRY. HE CONTINUED
WITH THE WORK OF GOD HAVING SURRENDERED
HIMSELF FULLY TO GOD. UP TILL THIS MOMENT,
HE HAS BEEN IN ACTIVE SERVICE WITHOUT
SLUMBERING. THIS IS THE MODEL FOR ALL
BELIEVERS.
YOU MAY RECALL THAT WHEN OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST WAS NOT BAPTIZED, HE WAS NOT TEMPTED
BY SATAN. IMMEDIATELY AFTER HIS BAPTISM, HE
WAS TAKEN TO THE WILDERNESS WHERE HE
FASTED FORTY DAYS AND NIGHTS. THERE AND
THEN SATAN TEMPTED HIM. (READ MATT 4:1-10). IT
SHOULD BE NOTED THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
COULD NOT SUCCUMB TO THESE TEMPTATIONS
BECAUSE HE WAS LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. NOTE
VERY IMPORTANTLY THAT THIS HOLY SPIRIT WAS
BESTOWED UPON HIM JUST AFTER HIS BAPTISM.
THEREFORE, WHEN SATAN DEPARTED FROM HIM,
HE WAS MINISTERED UNTO BY THE ANGELS. (Matt
4:11). Similarly, all those who had decided to
forsake all forms of sins and get baptized shall
also be ministered unto by the angels. On the
other hand, those who have refused to forsake
all forms of sins and get baptized shall be
damned.
Henceforth, before any person is baptized, he
must read this sermon and be prepared to
refrain from all vices and evil practices which
are not in consonance with the tenets of
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. If this is not
done, your baptism should be regarded as an
ordinary bath in the water. However, if you
hearken to this teaching, you will be free from
all bondage of sin and satanism. You will then
become the real Child of God. Romans 6:2
asks: "How shall we, that are dead to sin, live
any longer therein?" Our Lord Jesus Christ died
once and thereafter He lives. Those who are
dead and can never resurrect are those who
have never been baptized. The root of death
without resurrection can be traced to the
wrong preaching given to new converts - that
once they are baptized, all their problems are
gone. They are not told to repent and refrain
from sins. These new converts therefore, go in
for baptism as though they are going to the
hospital or to the necromancer. Whosoever
knows and confesses his or her sins, repents
and is baptized is saved. This is because his
sins, having been forgiven on earth, are
forgiven also in heaven. Whether you are a
royal highness, king, queen, pope, archbishop,
millionaire, billionaire, general or field marshal
in the armed forces, you have to abide by His
teachings. Apart from this, you have yourself
to blame.
Denounce Your Old Ways Before Baptism
The two baptisms - Repentance and Holy Spirit
- are very important. If you undergo these two
types of baptisms, you will have nothing to do
with anger, fighting, bearing malice or anything
that will cause discrimination, discomfort and
segregation. This is why some people say that
they are baptized into Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star, yet they can neither pray,
preach nor practice any sermon. In addition to
baptism of repentance, if you had received the
baptism of the Holy Spirit, you will not gossip,
backbite, tell lies, indulge in idolatry, commit
adultery, smoke tobacco and take all types of
drugs. Do not ask any person to rush for
baptism so that his sickness, court case or
other problems may be cast away. Let the
person confess all his or her sins; repent and
refrain from such sins, then receive baptism.
Thereafter such a person is washed clean and
free from all judgement in heaven and on earth.
If you know you have committed too many sins
and cannot bear the burden of them any
longer, take refuge in our Lord Jesus Christ.
This could only be done through repentance,
refraining from, and abhorring sins. After this,
you will have to accept baptism as
administered in Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star. No prayer or fasting can save you without
the above stated method. This is confirmed by
the words of our Lord Jesus Christ as recorded
in Matt 11:28: "Come unto Me, all ye that labor
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest".
Most people in various denominations baptize
converts with the least opportunity. This
should not be so. In Brotherhood of the Cross
and Star, for instance, I did not baptize any
person from 1956 to 1957. It was just a month
to our departure to 26 Mbukpa that I started
baptizing people. This was because, I did not
want to baptize just anybody, that is, those
who do not believe in our Lord Jesus Christ.
The first set of converts were baptized
between the end of July, 1958 and August of
the same year. On this note, therefore, no
baptism should be administered to any person
who has not believed in God, and does not
know what is sin and cannot accept having
ever committed any. Before 1958, all the
people who came for prayers and to attend
services, had to denounce their various
churches, cults, secret societies, and other
sources of power they believed in. How then
could I have baptized such people? It was at
26 Mbukpa Road, Calabar that some people
started discarding their rings, bangles, charms,
and amulets. If God did not apply His great
wisdom, He would not have had any follower
on earth. At that time, I could not place my
hands on people's head for any reason if he
could not confess all his sins. If he had
begrudged any person, he had to go first to
make peace before I could pray for him. At that
time, whoever did not denounce his charms
and cults, I did not pray for such a fellow.
The Gift Of Holy Spirit
The spirit, blood and water move and work in
unison. (1 John 5:8). Most people in the prison
yard and those in different precarious
situations are being disturbed by the Holy
Spirit. If the Holy Spirit is in you, you will be
punished for any sin you commit; and if you
continue in sin, your end is death. In this wise
therefore, once a sick person confesses all his
sins truly and repents wholeheartedly, all his
sicknesses will vanish completely.
Many people are plagued with various
problems. The cause of their mishaps could be
traced to the fact that they are not baptized.
This fact could be confirmed in Acts 2:38
where Peter advised the men of Judea during
Pentecost to "repent and be baptized everyone
of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the
remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift
of the Holy Ghost". Similarly any person who
does not possess the Holy Spirit must be
baptized. So that he may receive it. The
churches do not possess the Holy Spirit, yet,
they claim to be God's children who are
serving Him. How can you be a child of God or
serve Him without the Holy Spirit? Those who
must serve God satisfactorily, must serve Him
in Spirit and truth (John 4:23).
Most people say they do not want a spiritual
church, but they crave for the "real church" or
what they call orthodox churches.
Consequently, you can see their failure and
perdition and how they die daily. As you go
about praying for people and giving them
money and other gifts, can such things save
them? Though you may buy a car, a house or
other things to a person or even train him in
the university, he cannot receive salvation
unless he confesses, repents and be baptized
as is done in Brotherhood. Someone may pray
for another and all his sickness, poverty and
his hardship vanish; but if he does not possess
the Holy Spirit, he is not saved. It was for this
reason that our Lord Jesus commissioned His
disciples to "go ye therefore and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the Name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost...." (Matt 28:19). Therefore, anyone who
realizes his or her sins and repents and gets
baptized is saved and will be free from any
judgement. On the other hand, he that feels he
or she has no cause for repentance and
subsequent baptism is condemned and nothing
can save him. If he likes, he may distribute all
his wealth to the poor and be charitable to all.
At the end, he must perish because he believes
not in God.
The gate-way to this Kingdom is by confession,
repenting and refraining from all sins, and then
baptism (by immersion). As you emerge from
the water, you have received the Holy Spirit. If
anybody had not confessed, repented and
refrained from all his former vices and evil
ways, do not baptize him. If you do, it will be of
no use, because the new spirit will be at war
with his "customers" (sins). He therefore, will
not stand fast in faith to God. From today, if
any person desires to be baptized, ask him or
her to confess about all his cults, secret
societies, different sources of power and
wealth. In other words, all his sins must be
confessed before you baptize him. Any person
who does not accept that he is a sinner, do not
baptize him. On the contrary, all those who
realize their sinfulness and seek for baptism
should be baptized. Do not beg or plead with
any person to accept baptism. The first lesson
below emphasizes this point.

MY MISSION
EMULATE ME:
Many times, I have told you that mine is leadership
by example. I do not teach one thing and do another.
I have several times told you to emulate me. EVER
SINCE I CAME INTO THIS EARTH PLANE, MY
TARGET IS TO ACCOMPLISH MY ASSIGNMENT OF
CHANGING MAN. AND I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH
SIN. I HAVE NEVER COMMITTED SIN.
MY LIFE STYLE IS A ONE WAY TRAFFIC-
RIGHTEOUSNESS TO THE CORE. I DO NOT WANT TO
HAVE FAITH OR HOPE IN ANY MAN OR THE
MATERIAL THINGS OF THIS WORLD. THIS IS SO
BECAUSE I AM NOT OF THE WORLD. GETTING
BAPTIZED INTO THIS KINGDOM IS AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO REFRAIN FROM SINS
BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE
ATTENDANT EFFECTS. YOU WOULD NOT TOY WITH
THIS RARE OPPORTUNITY ACCORDED YOU.
God would have used you to accomplish great
task, if you had refrained from sins. He would
have indwelled and used you to His glory for
your salvation and blessing. You suffer
because you are so much in love with the
world at the expense of the love of God. Let
the Holy Spirit direct you, and you will not be
the same again. Remember you have been
advised:
Those who have ears let them hear. May God
bless His Holy words. Amen.
MY MISSION
It is imperative that, we are baptized, because
without baptism, no one is worthy of the
kingdom of God. This explains why people like
John the Baptist, Jesus and others embraced
baptism without delay. In fact, baptism
constitutes mortifying the flesh, and being
made pure. So baptism is very significant in
the life of everyone. A local adage has it that, a
blind man cannot lead a fellow blind man.
Imagine someone who baptized many people
but does not have baptismal card himself.
If Christ did not die, He would not have been
able to perform miraculous works, neither
would He have been called, Christ. He would
not have had the Holy Spirit in Him. And it is
your failure to die and resurrect with Christ
through baptism, that you are unable to
perform any miracle in the kingdom. Since
some people do not have baptismal certificate,
they cannot inform the people they baptized
about the significance of baptism, and the
importance of baptismal certificate. They do
not know that anyone who has been baptized
has died and resurrected with Christ, therefore
such is justified. So any one who has been
baptized and made to resurrect with Christ is
justified and such has to be glorified alongside
with Christ.
The baptism of John has repentance as its
aim. THE BAPTISM OF JOHN IS PERFORMED
SO THAT YOU SHOULD BELIEVE FERVENTLY
IN OUR LORD CHRIST JESUS, WHILE THE
BAPTISM OF CHRIST ON THE OTHER HAND,
CONNOTES THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, SO
THAT YOU MIGHT RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT.
No matter the extent of your sinfulness, when
once you confess your sins and are immersed
into water in the name of baptism, you are one
with Christ, justified, and are given the Holy
Spirit as a gift, for you have died and left
behind the materials things of the world.
THE ESSENCE OF BAPTISM:
If you go back to sinful acts after baptism, you
are made to confront tribulations and
sufferings. The question is, what then does
your baptism entail? I preached this to bring
you to the accurate knowledge of truth. An
adage has it that an orphan uses both his head
and hand to erect a fence. Some of you do not
know what it entails to indulge in sins after
baptism, that is why it is not uncommon to
hear you testifying and confessing of
committing sins everyday even after
Confession. This very gospel needs to be read
by every one in order to know the significance
of baptism. At baptism and upon the
confessions of your sins, all your sins are
forgiven.
Anyone who fails to be baptized cannot be
saved. Mortify the flesh for the spirit to take
dominion over you. All those who are Christ’s
followers have seen their nakedness, for they
all have realized the fact that there is no
righteous man on earth due to the fact that, we
were conceived of iniquity and born of
unrighteousness. And it is the baptism
preached in this very sermon that can save us
and make us pure and worthy of God. This is
because it is after baptism that we are blessed
with the Holy Spirit as a gift. This gift is meant
for us and our offspring. But we cannot achieve
such due to our indulgence in sins after
baptism.
MY MISSION
I do not come so that you might be unhealthy,
sick, condemned, lack and die. Rather, I come
to feed you with the accurate knowledge of
truth and I have done same openly. Therefore,
if you perish as a result of not imbibing the
truth, your blood is on you. Since it is the
patient that always seek for the physician,
anyone who knows that he needs baptism
must seek for it. And anyone who knows the
right thing that should be done and fails to do
it, has him or herself to blame, because he or
she is condemned. Eventhough the money and
wealth of such people are distributed to people
along the street, they would all perish.
Most of the lunatics in the psychiatric hospital
are not actually mad. Rather, they are
tormented by the spirit. And would only be
made whole if only the person accept baptism.
The same thing happens with those in the
prison custody, because as a result of their not
being baptized, the spirit in them instructs
them to do things abnormally. Similar thing is
happening in the hospitals. And if these people
are made to confess their sins and accept
baptism, most of them would be freed.
We are enjoined that the flesh uses its lust
wage war against the spirit. And the spirit too
in response also wages War against the flesh.
So both of them are incompatible. It is the war
waged by the flesh against the spirit that
makes people behave like mad, sick persons
and prisoners. And once you accept baptism,
you have killed the flesh leaving the spirit to
exists alone in you. And by so doing, you are
saved and made normal. Baptism does not
provide you with any material thing, instead it
gives you eternal life. And once you accept it,
you are justified.

THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT:
*Mohammed affirmed that it is the Holy Spirit that
has the right of leadership. Our Lord Jesus Christ
also said that, the Holy Spirit of Truth would lead the
world, and in conformity with this promise, He has
come to lead you. Have you received Him by
mortifying the flesh? Note that the era of flesh had
since passed. This is the era of the leadership of the
Holy Spirit.
GALATIANS 5:24
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh
with the affections and lusts.
THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT:
If you do not die with Christ, how can you
resurrect with him. If you do not resurrect with
Him, how can you live with Him. If you do not
live with Him, how then can you have eternal
life as expected of you? If Christ did not
receive the Holy Spirit through baptism, how
then would he have been able to perform great
and wonderful works? We all are true
witnesses to the fact that, Jesus Christ was
led by the Holy Spirit And any one who accept
baptism has put on Christ, therefore he has to
do things according to The dictates of the
spirit alone. And by then you are led by Christ
alone. That is why you are hardly harmed when
the spirit is ruling over you. You are easily
harmed when the spirit is killed as a result of
your indulgence in sins after baptism. And this
constitutes the problems and troubles faced by
the members of this kingdom.
Baptism is the greatest of all things found in
heaven and on earth. Because it is what
changes, cleanses, and brings forgiveness to
man. That is why anyone who is baptisied and
made one with Christ, is hardly harmed.
BAPTISM FOR REPENTANCE
The magnitude of your problems not
withstanding, if you confess and repent of your
sins and accept baptism your problems will
cease immediately. This is because baptism
after repentance is a means for forgiveness of
sin. This therefore, accounts for why you
should note that except one confesses his
sins, believes in God and accepts baptism,
such person is condemned. It is needless for
one who has not mortified his flesh with Christ
to defend himself. And to such a person, there
is no salvation for him. Our Lord Jesus Christ
was the first man to die, and resurrect. So, He
has no business with the second death. That is
why we must all join him in the first death, so
that we would all resurrect with him. Expect
you die with Him through the mortification of
the flesh, you cannot resurrect and without
resurrection you have perished. A lot of people
do not believe in resurrection. You erroneously
believe that there is no resurrection. Indeed,
there is resurrection, for after all the children
of God cannot die. There is no other death for
them except to mortify the lust of the flesh and
its affection. If you do this, you will live forever
without the fear of death. You will recall that
when that young man demanded Christ to
permit him to go and bury his father first
before coming to join Him, Christ told him that
he should leave the dead to bury their dead.
(Luke 9:60). This he said because as many as
follow Him, there is no death for them. He is
every thing to them.
Do not misconstrue the mortification of the
flesh to mean murder or death on the cross. It
does not mean you committing suicide. It
rather implies repentance from all manners of
sin. It is a complete change from vice to virtue.
In so doing, you would no more have anything
to do with the world but rather you would walk
within the tenets of the kingdom of God. You
have been singing the spiritual chorus that
says:
'The spirit of living God come and lead us a
right,' do you really mean it? He has come to
lead, teach, change and salvage but the
question is, are you ready for Him?
Mohammed affirmed that it is the Holy Spirit
that has the right of leadership. Our Lord Jesus
Christ also said that, the Holy Spirit of Truth
would lead the world, and in conformity with
this promise, He has come to lead you. Have
you received Him by mortifying the flesh? Note
that the era of flesh had since passed. This is
the era of the leadership of the Holy Spirit. No
other force is in operation now other than the
Holy Spirit. He is in all things and He is
everything. You would now realise that Christ
is the ruling force now. We are all one in Him
and as such, we are joint - heirs in the kingdom
and so we are ruling with Him. There is no
more division, we now do everything in
common for we are all one. The flesh does not
exist any more. Our Lord Jesus Christ has
taken dominion over all things. Note, I am not
saying that everybody has this spirit. It is
limited to those who have mortified the flesh.
You should recall that during the time of John
the Baptist, many people were baptised but
out of the lot, it was only Our Lord Jesus Christ
that the Holy Spirit descended upon. This
therefore confirms the fact that the Holy Spirit
is for those who were predestined to have it.
As many as have decided to work for Him,
definitely, he will bestow the spirit on them.
Without the spirit, none can function
effectively. The spirit is the separational force
in man; without it, you cannot perform. As
many as have mortified the flesh, they have
put on Christ. They are no more functioning
independent of Him, rather, He monitors their
activities and indeed use them to His glory.
These are the people who have died with him
and also resurrected with Him. And to them,
there is no death. They are one with Christ.
That is why, in spite of the population of the
world, all those that have this hope are one.
We have now put on Christ, all problems are
solved and above all, we are fortified. After all,
Christ is in perfect control of everything in the
world. Read the golden text again.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
THE SEARCH FOR GOD
Many little children today know the Almighty
God. Aged people have also known God. Even
the arch-argumentators have now accepted
the present manifestation of God. There are
women who are stricken in age and do not
really see things clearly but they have now
seen God and have accepted Him.
A NEIGHBOR WILL NOT TEACH NEIGHBOR,
NEITHER WILL BROTHER, SAYING KNOW THE
LORD, BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS SEEN HIM
AND ALL HAVE KNOWN HIM. (Heb 8:11).
In the time past, people searched for God in
the moon, star, sun, etc. They went to
Jerusalem, Jericho, to mountains, inside
water, and everywhere in search of God, but
they could not see Him, it is for this reason
that our Lord Jesus Christ made a far-reaching
statement saying: "Wherefore if they shall say
unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not
forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers;
believe it not. For as the lightening cometh out
of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be."
(Matt 24:26-27). DO NOT ADVISE ANY PERSON
TO COME TO CALABAR THAT HE/SHE WILL
SEE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. DO NOT GO
THERE, IF ANYBODY TELLS YOU ABOUT GOD,
DO NOT GO THERE. FOR THE NEW COVENANT
DOES NOT TELL YOU THAT UNLESS YOU GO
TO INDIA, ENGLAND, ISRAEL OR NIGERIA, YOU
WILL NOT SEE GOD. HE IS EVERYWHERE.
Whether you are in India, England or America,
and a person comes to you, tell him to kneel
down, confess all his sins and denounce all his
membership of secret societies. Let him
become truly repentant and take him into the
water for baptism by immersion. AS SOON AS
HE EMERGES FROM THE WATER, HE WILL
RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. THIS IS A
CHALLENGE I HAVE THROWN TO ALL THE
INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD.
If you claim to be a doctor, there is no
argument about this. But kneel down, confess
your sins and become contrite and repentant,
accepting the baptism. After you have gone
inside the water three times and come out, see
whether you will not speak a different tongue.
IF YOU CLAIM TO BE A MEMBER OF THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH, WHETHER YOU ARE A
POPE OR A BISHOP, OR AN ORDINARY
MEMBER, ONCE YOU CONFESS YOUR SINS
AND BECOME REPENTANT, GO IN FOR WATER
BAPTISM THREE TIMES THEN COME OUT. YOU
WILL NEVER FAIL TO SEE A GREAT
DIFFERENCE IN YOURSELF. You say you are a
great society man; that you can go into the
Sun, the moon and star; that you can go into
water and anywhere. There is no argument
about this. But first come to the Brotherhood
of the Cross and Star and confess all your sins.
Denounce your membership of the secret
societies and become truly repentant. Go three
times into the water for baptism, when you
come out, you will see a remarkable difference
in yourself.
Do not begin to contemplate in your heart
saying, "I had already been baptized in the
church where I am a member. I am an Elder."
When you were an Elder did you receive the
Holy Spirit? You say, "I am a Reverend
Gentleman," when you were made a Reverend,
did you receive the power of the Holy Spirit?
You claim you have established a church,
when you established, did you ever receive the
Holy Spirit?
It is a covenant that a neighbor will not teach
a neighbor saying, "know God." Every person,
from smallest to the greatest, will know me."
(Heb 8:10-11). Never enter into foolishness of
trying to teach people to know God. Whenever
God makes His covenant, He stamps and seals
it. If you like to go to the Sun, or go to right or
left, or anywhere there is only one way of
salvation. That is, if you are not born of water
and the Holy Spirit, you will never see God, you
can perform nothing effectively without the
Holy Spirit. You will never possess wisdom and
you will be incapable of doing anything without
the Holy Spirit.
HE HAD SAID THAT UNLESS A PRECIOUS
BLOOD WAS SHED, I WILL NOT COME BACK
AND I WILL NEVER FORGIVE PEOPLE OF
THEIR INIQUITIES. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
SAID, "IT IS EXPEDIENT THAT I GO AWAY, FOR
IF I GO NOT AWAY, THE COMFORTER WILL
NOT COME, BUT IF I GO, I WILL SEND HIM
UNTO YOU." (JOHN 16:7). GOD HAS NEVER
DISAPPOINTED ANY PERSON; AND HE WILL
NEVER DISAPPOINT ANY PERSON.
At one time He said if a seed of corn does not
fall on the ground it will remain alone. (John
12:24). BUT AFTER IT HAD DIED, IT
GERMINATES AND BRINGS SO MANY FRUITS.
HAVE YOU NOT REALIZED THIS? HAVE YOU
NOT REALIZED HOW THE DEATH OF OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS YIELDED SO MANY
FRUITS UNTO THE WORLD? That is why, in
spite of the long stay of the disciples with Our
Lord Jesus Christ, they could not understand
Him. Because they were not endowed with the
power of the Holy Spirit. From time to time
they requested to increase their faith. But our
Lord Jesus told them that He would not do
anything until He was absolutely veiled with
power.
In a state of anxiety one day, Philip said, "Lord
show us the Father then we shall be satisfied."
(John 14:8). This is because they often took
pleasure in hearing Our Lord Jesus Christ
referring to all his performances to the Father.
He would continually say the Father did this,
the Father did that. They were confounded,
and curiously would like to see and know that
Father. But they would not see Him because
flesh and blood cannot see Him.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
IT IS THE IGNORANCE OF THIS WORD OF GOD
THAT PLUNGES THE WHOLE WORLD INTO
DIFFICULTY AND TRIBULATION. GOD IS TRUE
AND HIS WORDS ARE TRUE.
Hebrews 8:10-11
"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."
Brethren, this is briefly what we are going to
reveal to you this morning. It is going to be a
very short gospel. But it is a gospel for the
Thomases. It is for those who continue
doubting the Almighty God. It is also for those
who continue to say that God is not in
existence.
I want you and all the inhabitants of this world
to desist from argument but urgently get into
practicing the word of God for this is the time.
Any person who denies Our Lord Jesus Christ;
and refuses to adhere to the practice of His
teachings, will have himself to blame. He who
also says that God has not yet come is existing
in delusion. Besides, he is a child of perdition.
He who also says that there is no Holy Spirit in
existence heads toward destruction. It is
incumbent on all the inhabitants of the world
that they should practice this gospel. If you are
unable to practice any other word of God,
make sure you practice this very one. It is the
ignorance of this word of God that plunges the
whole world into difficulty and tribulation. God
is true and His words are true.
God is not like a human being. Once He has
spoken, His words must come to
manifestation. It is the promise He has made
from the beginning of time.
The creations of God cannot know God. The
reason very many people fall apart and exist in
delusion about God is that they are living in
flesh and blood. This is why it is necessary
that this gospel must be sent to the four
corners of the world, so that no person will
have anything with which to defend himself.
Knowledge cannot compel any person to know
God. High education is not a means through
which anyone can know God. There is no
secret society which will educate you on the
knowledge of God. No necromancer can know
God. There is only one sure way to the
knowledge of God. That is, you have to confess
all sins, you have to denounce all the evil
deeds you have been committing. You have to
become truly contrite and repentant
and then get baptism by immersion. After this
you will receive the Holy Spirit as a gift.
Go and announce this to churches to conform
to the practices of the teachings of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Tell them to be contrite of their
vices. That they should refrain from fornication
and adultery, from preparation of juju; and they
should love one another. If not, they will not
receive the Holy Spirit as the gift of God.
At any moment in time, let any person confess,
and not continue in his sins and also be
baptized, he will receive the Holy Spirit as a
gift. If a person does not accept this, allow him
to go his own way. Do not childishly discuss
with him. For if you do not have this Holy Spirit,
you cannot know Him. You cannot conceive
that He is in existence.
In the past people thought money could be
used as an instrument through which they
could get nearer to God. They glorify their high
educational qualification. People boast over
exalted positions in life. But today, the wind of
change has blown and created phenomenal
changes in the world to make the Holy Spirit
the only issue for boasting. The Governments
in the world also fail because they do not
possess the operative virtues of the Holy
Spirit. The churches also fail because they do
not possess nor believe in the Holy Spirit.
All companies, firms and corporations in the
world fail because they neither possess nor
believe in the Holy Spirit. All institutions of
learning have failed because they have not
believed in the Holy Spirit, and do not have the
Holy Spirit. Indeed, traders, farmers and people
in all walks of life, fail because they do not
believe in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is
that cornerstone rejected by the builders,
which has become head of the corner and is
esteemed as a wonderful thing. (Mark 12:10).
Any person without the Holy Spirit is eternally
dead. Indeed, possession of the Holy Spirit
does not consist of running the race but
depends on the mercy of God. It was the
eternal covenant with the house of Israel. He
said this is the covenant which I will make
with the house of Israel after those days. (Heb
8:10). We are those children of God, the
beneficiaries of this promise.
It is a surprising thing to people, if you tell
them that you have seen God face to face; that
you have seen our Lord Jesus Christ and you
have also seen the Holy Spirit. Indeed they will
burst into laughter. But heaven and earth, will
pass away until everything is consummated.
(Matt 24:35/Mark 13:31). Are these words not
fulfilled in your midst today?

THE MOST IMPORTANT ASSIGNMENT
**THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO GO INTO THE
WORLD AND INFORM THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER
HEARD ABOUT ME AND BCS, TELL THEM THE
TEACHINGS IN THIS KINGDOM.
ALL THE PROBLEMS AND TRIBULATIONS YOU
HEARD FROM ALL THE NATIONS ARE BECAUSE
THEY HAVE OF THEIR REFUSAL TO SURRENDER
AND RECOGNIZE THE PRESENCE OF GOD ON
EARTH.
IT IS YOUR DUTY TO GO THERE AND TELL THEM
ABOUT THESE TEACHINGS. DO NOT TELL
SOMEBODY TO COME TO BCS, FOR EVERYBODY IS A
MEMBER OF BCS.
The time is very short. GOING ON EVANGELICAL
TOURS IN AND AROUND YOUR LOCALITIES WITH
ONLY YOUR GROUP MEMBERS IS MEANINGLESS.
YOU ARE TO GO WHERE THIS GOSPEL OF TRUTH IS
NOT HEARD YET AND SPREAD THE TRUTH TO THE
PEOPLE, TELLING THEM TO BE BAPTIZED AND
HAVE THEIR PROBLEMS SOLVED AND THEIR
SUPPLICATIONS ANSWERED. TELL THE WORLD
ABOUT THE GLORY OF GOD ON EARTH.
*** BAPTISM HAS A DEEPER MEANING AND
EXPLANATION THAN HOW YOU HAVE TURNED
IT TO BE. BAPTISM IN OTHER WORDS MEANS
THAT ONCE YOU BELIEVE AND YOU ARE
BAPTIZED YOU WILL BE SAVED. I know you
cannot go to the big personalities in the world
and tell them to denounce their membership in
the secret societies and follow God.
IT IS ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO CAN
CHANGE THEM.
If you are in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star
and you still indulge yourself in secret
societies, know that you have no place in this
kingdom.
You have heard the testimony of one of my
sons this morning, (March 1st. 1992). He is a
member of a State House of Assembly. He
does not have any protection for himself, as is
expected of someone in the corridors of power
would want to do. He has surrendered all his
entire life to God to protect him.
I have told you that Spain, and China, Japan
and several other countries of the world have
not heard about Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star and the teaching of God. But you are still
moving around the country, claiming to do the
Father's work-WHEN THESE GOSPELS HAVE
NOT REACHED THESE PLACES. GO TO THESE
PLACES AND TELL THEM ABOUT THIS GOD
AND THE KINGDOM. IT IS NOT THAT SOME OF
THESE COUNTRIES HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT
THIS KINGDOM AND THE TEACHINGS OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT, BUT THEY NEED SOMEBODY TO
EXPLAIN TO THEM BETTER AND PUT THEM
RIGHT.
SOME OF YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT THE
POURING OF LIBATION IS AGAINST THE
INJUNCTION OF GOD. When a child is given
birth to or when someone dies, these rites
would be performed to appease the earth
goddess. ALL THESE SUPERSTITIONS ARE
NOT IN CONFORMITY WITH THE DOCTRINES
OF GOD AND BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS
AND STAR.
IN BCS, THE MOMENT ONE GIVES BIRTH TO A
CHILD OR GOES ON A SPIRITUAL TRANSFER,
(I.E. DIES), ALL WE NEED TO DO IS TO
REJOICE AND CELEBRATE A LOVE FEAST. THE
FOOD OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, MEEKNESS,
MERCY, PATIENCE, AND REFRAINING FROM
ALL MANNERS OF SIN, WHILE FOOD OF THE
FLESH IS TEA, YAM, RICE, GARI, ETC.
WHY THE WORLD GOVERNMENTS HAVE
FALLEN IS BECAUSE EVERYBODY THINKS
ONLY ABOUT HOW TO HAVE MONEY AND ALL
THE THINGS OF WORLD. BECAUSE OF
WORLDLY THINGS YOU HAVE FORSAKEN
SPIRITUAL POWER. THINGS CAN NEVER BE
THE SAME AGAIN IN THE WORLD.
During the era of Our Lord Jesus Christ, He
appointed some people to take charge of
spiritual aspects, while others were assigned
to other necessities of life. If you do not have
the Holy Spirit, you cannot preach the gospel.
Those who have the Holy Spirit in them are
those assigned with the spiritual aspects of
God.
*** IT IS ONLY BCS MEMBERS, THE WORLD
OVER WHO ARE COMMISSIONED WITH THE
MANDATE TO GO TO ALL THE CORNERS OF
THE WORLD AND SPREAD THESE GOOD
TEACHINGS OF GOD. THOSE WHO WILL
BELIEVE AND GET BAPTIZED WILL RECEIVE
THE SALVATION OF GOD. IT IS NOT BY
FIGHTING AND QUARRELING AND BY KILLING
ONE ANOTHER.
GO OUT AND SPREAD THE TEACHINGS OF
GOD. TELL THEM TO BELIEVE AND GET
BAPTIZED AND FREE THEMSELVES FROM THE
WRATH OF GOD.
To preach to someone who has the Holy Spirit
but is not baptized, is like pouring water on the
back of a hen or giving a blind man a mirror to
look at himself.
GO TO THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL
OF GOD. YOU ARE NOT TOLD TO GO AND TELL
SOMEONE TO LEAVE HIS CHURCH. RATHER
YOU ARE TOLD TO PREACH THE GOSPEL,
THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND GET BAPTIZED
SHALL BE SAVED. FOR YOU TO GO AND
PREACH TO SOME PEOPLE TO LEAVE THEIR
CHURCHES, WHEN IN THE TRUE
PERSPECTIVE, ALL THEIR LIVES AND MEANS
OF LIVELIHOOD ARE DEPENDENT ON THE
CHURCHES, THEY WILL NOT MIND YOU OR
TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY.
***THERE IS NO CHURCH IN THE WHOLE
WORLD WHICH PERFORMS BAPTISM THE
RIGHT WAY, EXCEPT BROTHERHOOD OF THE
CROSS AND STAR.
*THERE IS NO PROBLEM IF SOMEBODY IS A
BISHOP, HIS STATUS NOT WITHSTANDING;
WHEREVER HE MAY BELONG, IF HE BELIEVES
AND ACCEPTS BAPTISM, IT IS GOOD FOR HIM.
IF NOT, LEAVE HIM TO REMAIN WHERE HE IS.
DO NOT TELL PEOPLE TO COME TO BCS,
BECAUSE MANY OF THEM CANNOT PREACH
THE GOSPEL OF GOD. WHY DO YOU WANT HIM
TO COME TO BCS WHEN HE CANNOT PREACH.
I HAVE TOLD YOU THAT MANY OF THE
BISHOPS HAVE COME HERE INTO BCS AND
MANY OF THEM RECEIVED BAPTISM ONLY TO
GO BACK TO THEIR DENOMINATIONS TO
PERFORM THEIR DUTIES JUST FOR THE
PURPOSE OF KEEPING BODY AND SOUL
TOGETHER.
What is going on in various churches is like the
work of a civil servant, where at the end of
every month, salary or wages are paid to them.
If you are not born of water and spirit, you
cannot see visions, dream dreams, nor preach
the gospel of God because you are not of the
Holy Spirit.
Already, trouble has begun in their various
churches and they are beginning to worry that
their members have scattered. They no more
have large multitude of followers. BUT
UNKNOWN TO THEM IS THE FACT THAT IT IS
IN FULFILLMENT OF THE TIME THAT ALL
SHALL COME UNDER ONE FLOCK, AND THERE
SHALL BE ONLY ONE SHEPHERD(John 10:16).
THIS IS EXACTLY THE STAGE WE HAVE
ARRIVED AT.
PAY YOUR TITHES AND GIVE ALMS TO THE
POOR. IF YOU ARE CONFRONTED WITH ANY
PROBLEMS, KNOCK YOUR HEAD ON THE
GROUND AND CALL ON THE FATHER. (1
CORINTHIANS 3:13).
***THOSE WHO REFUSE BAPTISM ARE THOSE
WHO ARE STILL BEGRUDGING PEOPLE, THOSE
WHO STEAL AND INDULGE IN SECRET
SOCIETIES.

……………………………………………………………………………
THE ONE AND INDIVISIBLE GLORY
Beloved, this is the message we have for you. I
have always asked the Christ's students, Christ
servants, ordained ones, and indeed the entire
brethren to always be around to receive the
farewell message, so that they could get it
directly from the horse's mouth. DO NOT WAIT
FOR SOMEONE TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO. I
WANT YOU TO GET THESE WORDS DIRECT
FROM ME. I ALSO SAID THE KING OF KINGS
AND QUEEN MOTHER SHOULD BE IN
ATTENDANCE DURING THE FAREWELL
SESSION. THERE EXIST ONLY ONE GLORY.
THIS GREAT AND INDIVISIBLE GLORY IS
MEANT FOR ONLY THE ALMIGHTY GOD AND
HIS SERVANTS. The rest of other people are
placed in positions of responsibility by this one
God and Father. And these people no matter
their status, stature, race and tongue are
subject to the power that has placed them in
such positions; AND IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT
YOU RESPECT THE GREATEST BEING THAT
HAS KEPT THEM WHERE THEY ARE. WHOEVER
THEREFORE DISREGARDS OR DISOBEYS
THEM, DIRECTLY CHALLENGES GOD, AND
SUCH A PERSON SHALL FACE THE WRATH OF
GOD. YOUR ACT OF DISOBEDIENCE IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SUFFERING TODAY.
IT IS ALSO DUE TO YOUR FAILURE TO HONOR
THE PRESENCE AND AUTHORITY OF GOD IN
MAN. YOU DO NOT HAVE RESPECT FOR ONE
ANOTHER. DO YOU NOT HAVE THE
KNOWLEDGE THAT WHENEVER YOU RESPECT
MAN YOU ARE DOING SO TO GOD?
Clearly if you love one another, you have loved
God and if you are truthful to one another, you
are equally being truthful to God. Whatever
belongs to the Father also belongs to the Son.
Everybody is therefore enjoined to humble
himself so as to carry out the instructions
issued out by the ones that God has placed in
positions of authority. By so doing, you will
receive many blessings from God. If you
adhere to these instructions by respecting
those in authority and also endeavor to
practice righteousness, then would
Brotherhood be recognized. Note that if
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is
recognized, it would invariably mean that you
are equally recognized. The reason being that
whatever honor and glory are accorded
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star the same
which extends to you as well. Also, know that
until Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is fully
glorified, you cannot have full glory.
WHEN GOD IS GLORIFIED THE SON IS ALSO
GLORIFIED
So, is it not incumbent on you to magnify the
glory of God so that consequently you will also
be glorified? Anybody who serves God is
glorified alongside God. This is in conformity
with what the Bible affirms that; whoever
believes in the Son invariably believes in the
Father who had sent Him.
THEREFORE, FROM NOW, IT IS ABSOLUTELY
UNNECESSARY TO PLEAD WITH THE KING OF
KINGS OR THE HOLY QUEEN MOTHER TO
TAKE YOU TO THE FATHER. DO NOT ALSO
SEEK TO HAVE AUDIENCE WITH THE KING OF
KINGS OR HOLY QUEEN MOTHER. YOU
SHOULD DESIST FROM SEEKING TO BE TAKEN
TO ANY PERSONALITY IN BROTHERHOOD OF
THE CROSS AND STAR TO DEMAND FOR ONE
FAVOR OR THE OTHER.
Do not involve in backbiting, gossiping,
mourning, murmuring and other acts capable
of causing discrimination or segregation in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, for the
entire world has been united into one
indivisible fold.
WHAT IS REQUIRED OF YOU IS EXHIBITION
OF ABSOLUTE FAITH IN GOD THE FATHER. DO
OBEY HIS INJUNCTIONS AND ABIDE STRICTLY
BY HIS WORDS. YOUR POST AS A ROYAL
HIGHNESS, BISHOP, PASTOR, APOSTLE,
CHRIST'S STUDENT OR SERVANT, DEACONESS
OR CHILD OF GOD DOES NOT MATTER; WHAT
YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DO IS TO OBEY GOD'S
WORD. YOU MUST ALWAYS HAVE IMPLICIT
FAITH IN HIS WORD. ALSO YOU HAVE TO OBEY
ALL CONSTITUTED AUTHORITIES. THOSE OF
YOU IN THE KINGDOM HAVE TO HONOR AND
RESPECT ONE ANOTHER. DO HUMBLE
YOURSELF SINCE YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE
ALL THE MESSENGERS OF GOD IN HIS
KINGDOM. REMEMBER THAT AS GOD IS
REVEALED SO ALSO ARE YOU REVEALED.
ALSO, AS HE IS GLORIFIED, THE GLORY ALSO
EXTENDS TO YOU, IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST. AMEN.
THE GREAT SIGNIFICANCE OF AUGUST
PENTECOSTAL ASSEMBLY
RECALL THE REVELATION THAT CAME THROUGH
ASSASU INYANG IBOM THAT, EVERYBODY MUST
BRING GIFTS THREE TIMES IN A YEAR TO THE
FATHER. HAVE YOU SHOWN ANY APPRECIATION
FOR THIS MARVELOUS AUGUST PENTECOSTAL
ASSEMBLY?
You should know that our Lord Jesus Christ
received His baptism in the River Jordan in the
month of August. It was also in this memorable
month of August (8/8/1958) that the members
of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star marched
in white garment from No. 8 Eton Street to No.
26 Mbukpa Road all in Calabar metropolis.
August is a month of great significance, so we
are not only commemorating the historic
exodus of the Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star from No. 8 Eton Street to No 26 Mbukpa
Road, but we are also celebrating because it is
the month of Christ's revelation. August was
the month that our Lord -Jesus Christ was
revealed for being so humble that He had to go
to John the Baptist for baptism by immersion.
Before His baptism, Christ had no disciples. It
was after His baptism and revelation that He
began to have disciples. Recall what God said
about our Lord Jesus Christ that; "And lo a
voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved
Son, in whom I am well pleased." Matthew 3:
17.
A lot of great and significant events take place
in the month of August. Professor Assasu
Inyang Ibom's first book was read in the
Kingdom in August; the bishops were
appointed and ordained in August. Do not
doubt the importance of the month of August.
Everybody has to appreciate God's kindness to
mankind in whatever he does in life. It is
through these deeds that salvation is extended
to the entire world, in the Name of our Lord
Jesus Christ. THIS IS A VERY LUCKY
GENERATION; HENCE, ALL PEOPLE SHOULD
GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR THE ENORMOUS
GOODNESS HE HAS SHOWN TO US. This is
God's Kingdom and not the kingdom of the
world. In this Kingdom, people are not
mandated or forced to carry out certain duties
or order. RATHER THEY ARE ALLOWED TO
LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT AND ADHERE TO WHAT
THEY ARE DIRECTED SPIRITUALLY. THAT IS
WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS "SHOW LOVE" OR
"FREE-WILL OFFERING".

GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT
I am asking you: if the whole world is Brotherhood,
and you are not satisfied in the place you are kept
what then will be your gain? You know that the
church dignitaries have got everything. All the
heads of church denominations you find around are
very wealthy. But what is their gain? What do they
gain from wealth, as long as you are not satisfied
with your position? The first important thing is that
godliness with contentment is great gain. Apart
from that you are heading for destruction.
The churches built hospitals, trained nurses, trained
sisters and mothers, they are famous and popular
but what is their gain? Is that what they were sent
to do?
The children of God, I have to emphasize, have no
dwelling houses. They have neither a country, nor
town, nor community. No person knows from where
they have come. No person knows to where they are
going. Our Lord Jesus Christ is here on earth. Sister
Clover, in the year 1958, saw Our Lord Jesus Christ
physically at No. 8, Eton Street. She saw Him with
the twelve disciples but could not know their faces.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
THE GREAT SIGNIFICANCE OF AUGUST
PENTECOSTAL ASSEMBLY
RECALL THE REVELATION THAT CAME THROUGH
ASSASU INYANG IBOM THAT, EVERYBODY MUST
BRING GIFTS THREE TIMES IN A YEAR TO THE
FATHER. HAVE YOU SHOWN ANY APPRECIATION
FOR THIS MARVELOUS AUGUST PENTECOSTAL
ASSEMBLY?
You should know that our Lord Jesus Christ received
His baptism in the River Jordan in the month of
August. It was also in this memorable month of
August (8/8/1958) that the members of Brotherhood
of the Cross and Star marched in white garment
from No. 8 Eton Street to No. 26 Mbukpa Road all in
Calabar metropolis. August is a month of great
significance, so we are not only commemorating the
historic exodus of the Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star from No. 8 Eton Street to No 26 Mbukpa Road,
but we are also celebrating because it is the month
of Christ's revelation. August was the month that our
Lord -Jesus Christ was revealed for being so humble
that He had to go to John the Baptist for baptism by
immersion. Before His baptism, Christ had no
disciples. It was after His baptism and revelation
that He began to have disciples. Recall what God
said about our Lord Jesus Christ that; "And lo a voice
from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in
whom I am well pleased." Matthew 3: 17.
A lot of great and significant events take place in the
month of August. Professor Assasu Inyang Ibom's
first book was read in the Kingdom in August; the
bishops were appointed and ordained in August. Do
not doubt the importance of the month of August.
Everybody has to appreciate God's kindness to
mankind in whatever he does in life. It is through
these deeds that salvation is extended to the entire
world, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. THIS IS
A VERY LUCKY GENERATION; HENCE, ALL PEOPLE
SHOULD GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR THE
ENORMOUS GOODNESS HE HAS SHOWN TO US. This
is God's Kingdom and not the kingdom of the world.
In this Kingdom, people are not mandated or forced
to carry out certain duties or order. RATHER THEY
ARE ALLOWED TO LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT AND
ADHERE TO WHAT THEY ARE DIRECTED
SPIRITUALLY. THAT IS WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS
"SHOW LOVE" OR "FREE-WILL OFFERING".
THE GREAT SIGNIFICANCE OF THE APRIL
PENTECOSTAL ASSEMBLY
You should also know that April is another month of
great importance. And for that reason, we the
members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star
celebrate the April Pentecostal. It was meant to
enable us to be able to offset our indebtedness to
our Lord Jesus Christ. We have to
continually celebrate throughout our life time.
DEMONSTRATE YOUR APPRECIATION TO CHRIST
Nothing contributed by anyone will be too much. If
you present gifts to the Father during these different
significant periods (APRIL/EASTER,AUGUST,
DECEMBER) that is THE THREE PENTECOSTAL
PERIODS, your ways would be opened.
Mark you, this show of appreciation has nothing to
do with your regular tithe remitted to God. Everybody
is free to erect structures, buy cars, ships, aircrafts,
and clothes and donate money to the Kingdom. If I
may ask; have you ever donated generously in
appreciation of what God has blessed you with? You
are supposed to give cheerfully and from your
freewill.
LAVISH BLESSINGS FOR YOU
Henceforth, all those who have come here with
various kinds of sicknesses, court cases with the
police, such problems have been brought under the
control of the Father. The Father has paved the way
for those who are in lack and groaning in poverty;
they shall no longer be in poverty. The barren have
been blessed with children and the unemployed have
been given jobs. MORESO, THE FATHER HAS
RESTORED PEACE TO ALL AND SUNDRY, AND THE
WORD OF GOD HAS BEEN SPREAD TO ALL PLANES,
PLANETS AND OTHER REALMS OF MANIFEST. All
those who have backslidden have been brought back
by the Father. ALSO, GOD HAS GIVEN TO ALL WHO
PREVIOUSLY DID NOT WANT TO DO THE WORK OF
GOD, THE ABILITY TO NOW SERVE HIM. THOSE WHO
CLAIM IGNORANCE OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF
BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR HAVE
NOW BEEN MADE TO KNOW THE MEANING AND THE
FATHER HAS LAVISHLY REVEALED HIMSELF TO
THEM.
EVERYTHING BELONGS TO THE FATHER:
You should know that man, animal birds fishes,
trees, grasses, rivers the air, and all things created
and uncreated; things corporeal and incorporeal all
constitute Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. There
is nothing visible or invisible that does not belong to
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. This is the time
when everybody should come together to celebrate
the presence of the Everlasting Father. Brotherhood
cannot be seen in the flesh, you can only see Her in
the Spirit. If you are in the spirit, you would see
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.
USING THE TELEPHONE NUMBER:
ALL OF YOU ARE AWARE OF MY TELEPHONE
NUMBER, WHICH IS "O.O.O." WHENEVER AND
WHEREVER YOU MAY BE, IF YOU WANT TO DIAL THE
FATHER, WHAT YOU MERELY HAVE TO DO IS,
KNOCK YOUR HEAD ON THE GROUND AND CALL
HIM USING THIS NUMBER AND HE WILL
IMMEDIATELY ANSWER YOU. DO NOT FORGET THAT,
IT IS HIS NAME THAT WE WOULD USE TO DO ALL
THINGS. ACCORDINGLY, ALL YOUR HARD-LUCK,
MISFORTUNES AND DIVERSE PROBLEMS HAVE
BEEN ERADICATED THROUGH HIS GREAT NAME
O.O.O. I REITERATE, DIAL THIS NUMBER "O.O.O. "
WHENEVER IN DIFFICULTIES AND YOU WILL
INSTANTLY BE ANSWERED.
YOU HAVE BEEN COMMISSIONED
You have now been commissioned to go two by two
into all houses, homes, schools, markets, hospitals,
offices and countries to disseminate the word of
God. You are enjoined to disclose to all those you
meet during your evangelism: the significance of
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star or what the
Kingdom entails. Also reveal to them the futility of
fighting and killing of one another. They should be
asked to allow love to prevail. Do not forget to tell
them that those who believe and are baptized are
saved. All of you should make peace with your
adversaries; do not impute sin to one another.
Endeavor to appreciate God's favor to you.
THE REASON WHY THIS KINGDOM WAS GIVEN TO
ABRAHAM WAS BECAUSE OF HIS THANKFUL HEART.
SO, YOU SHOULD ALSO SHOW THANKFULNESS TO
GOD.
DURING THESE PENTECOSTAL CELEBRATION
PERIODS, NOBODY SHOULD CLAIM SUPERIORITY
OVER OTHERS; THIS IS BECAUSE IN BROTHERHOOD
OF THE CROSS AND STAR THERE IS NO BIG OR
SMALL; EQUALITY ALONE REIGNS, WE ARE ALL
ONE.
GREATEST ADVICE:
EACH PERSON IS ADVISED TO HOLD FAST HIS
POSITION IN THIS KINGDOM BECAUSE THE RATE OF
INFLUX OF PEOPLE IN THE FOLD WILL BE AMAZING
TO EVERYBODY. THERE WILL BE A GREAT RUSH FOR
BAPTISM. SO IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR FEET
FIRMLY ROOTED IN THE KINGDOM, YOU WOULD BE
SURPRISED TO FIND YOURSELF WHERE YOU LEAST
EXPECTED. You are admonished to work hard and
always adhere to the injunctions of God. THE HOLY
FATHER HAS BLESSED YOU ABUNDANTLY, AND HE
IS BEFORE AND BEHIND YOU; THOUGH WE ARE NOT
WORTHY TO RECEIVE ALL THESE BLESSINGS.
HOWEVER GOD'S SALVATION HAS COME TO US BY
GRACE; THAT WAS THE PROMISE HE GAVE TO
ABRAHAM. THIS ACT OF BLESSING YOU IS A MERE
FORMALITY, FOR HE HAD ALREADY WILLINGLY AND

  • 1. BCSNET OOO THE WORD CENTER PRESENTS ETON DAY CELEBRATION As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. (John 15:9) THE KINGDOM OF GOD DOES NOT COUNT ON LARGE CROWDS. FEW WHO PRACTICE THE WORD ARE BETTER THAN THOUSANDS WHO DO NOT PRACTICE THE WORD OF GOD. YOU ARE CALLED UPON TO EXTEND THE LOVE THAT THE AUTHOR OF OUR FAITH, EVEN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS LOVED US, TO YOUR FELLOW MEN. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU A NEIGHBOR WILL NOT TEACH NEIGHBOR, NEITHER WILL BROTHER, SAYING KNOW THE LORD, BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS SEEN HIM AND ALL HAVE KNOWN HIM. (Heb 8:11). In the time past, people searched for God in the moon, star, sun, etc. They went to Jerusalem, Jericho, to mountains, inside water, and everywhere
  • 2. in search of God, but they could not see Him, it is for this reason that our Lord Jesus Christ made a far- reaching statement saying: "Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightening cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." (Matt 24:26-27). Do not advise any person to come to Calabar that he/she will see our Lord Jesus Christ. Do not go there, if anybody tells you about God, do not go there. For the new covenant does not tell you that unless you go to India, England, Israel or Nigeria, you will not see God. He is everywhere. Whether you are in India, England or America, and a person comes to you, tell him to kneel down, confess all his sins and denounce all his membership of secret societies. Let him become truly repentant and take him into the water for baptism by immersion. AS SOON AS HE EMERGES FROM THE WATER, HE WILL RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. THIS IS A CHALLENGE I HAVE THROWN TO ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD. LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU He who also says that there is no Holy Spirit in existence heads toward destruction. It is incumbent on all the inhabitants of the world that they should practice this gospel. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO
  • 3. PRACTICE ANY OTHER WORD OF GOD, MAKE SURE YOU PRACTICE THIS VERY ONE. It is the ignorance of this word of God that plunges the whole world into difficulty and tribulation. God is true and His words are true. God is not like a human being. Once He has spoken, His words must come to manifestation. It is the promise He has made from the beginning of time. The creations of God cannot know God. The reason very many people fall apart and exist in delusion about God is that they are living in flesh and blood. THIS IS WHY IT IS NECESSARY THAT THIS GOSPEL MUST BE SENT TO THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE WORLD, SO THAT NO PERSON WILL HAVE ANYTHING WITH WHICH TO DEFEND HIMSELF. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU EMULATE ME: Many times, I have told you that mine is leadership by example. I do not teach one thing and do another. I have several times told you to emulate me. Ever since I came into this earth plane, my target is to accomplish my assignment of changing man. And I have
  • 4. nothing to do with sin. I have never committed sin. My life style is a one way traffic-righteousness to the core. I do not want to have faith or hope in any man or the material things of this world. This is so because I am not of the world. Getting baptized into this kingdom is an opportunity for you to refrain from sins because you have been informed of the attendant effects. You would not toy with this rare opportunity accorded you. God would have used you to accomplish great task, if you had refrained from sins. He would have indwelled and used you to His glory for your salvation and blessing. You suffer because you are so much in love with the world at the expense of the love of God. Let the Holy Spirit direct you, and you will not be the same again. Remember you have been advised: Those who have ears let them hear. May God bless His Holy words. Amen. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
  • 5. THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THE HOLY SPIRIT BROUGHT PEACE BECAUSE HE IS THE KING OF PEACE. HE ALSO BROUGHT JOY AND EVERLASTING LIFE TO MANKIND. The memorandum of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star makes it clear that a Brotherhood member has no association with the world. Similarly, the Holy Spirit has nothing to do with weeping, lamentation, fornication, murder, wars, and all manners of sin. THE HOLY SPIRIT BROUGHT PEACE BECAUSE HE IS THE KING OF PEACE. HE ALSO BROUGHT JOY AND EVERLASTING LIFE TO MANKIND. Any Brotherhood member who does not possess the Holy Spirit is an unbeliever. Such members are faithless. Faith cometh by hearing the words of God. Give the people the words of God and they will ask you what to do in order to attain salvation. That was what happened to the Ethiopian Eunuch. Read Acts 8:26-38. Immediately he was baptized, all of Eunuch's sins were forgiven and he received the Holy Spirit. Accordingly, whoever rejects baptism, his sins will ever be on him in this generation and the one to come. This is the last chance given to all children of God to practice love, humility, charity, patience and all
  • 6. virtues of Godliness. Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "If ye love Me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever. Even the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but you know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you." (John 14:15-17). Accordingly, the Holy Spirit is the one doing all the great works in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Formerly, the world claimed that Brotherhood's leadership is satanic. Now, they have seen love, righteousness, peace, patience, meekness, joy and holiness in the Leader Himself. Their eyes are now opened. This is because if satan can have true love, righteousness, holiness and all virtues of Godliness, then it ceases to be Satan but God. Read the golden text again. Golden Text: John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God." The Necessity Of A Spiritual Rebirth In order to gain entry into the Kingdom of God, you must crucify the body and its lusts; for you cannot serve God and Satan at the same time. You must
  • 7. forsake all sins, repent and be baptized; then you become a newborn child in the Spirit. The children of the world cannot do any good because they will be directed by one mind to do good and the other takes the opposite stand. They end up doing the wrong thing which is evil. On the contrary, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members believes in good deeds. There is peace, love, meekness, righteousness, joy and all Godly virtues expressed by only one individual. That is why they usually comment that all Brotherhood have one voice. Our Lord Jesus Christ has fulfilled His promise as stated in John chapter 14 verses 15-16. That Comforter is now with us. We therefore have nothing to worry about. We all live unto God and not the world. We have nothing in common with the world. What we do is help the world, just to fulfill the principles of love which is in us. The Holy Spirit has already revealed that any person who has any type of charms or diabolical substances should throw them away. Do not keep any such things in your house. The Holy Spirit is the force that is doing all things in this Kingdom. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
  • 8. THERE EXISTS ONLY ONE GLORY. Joh 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. Joh 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. THIS GREAT AND INDIVISIBLE GLORY IS MEANT FOR ONLY THE ALMIGHTY GOD AND HIS SERVANTS. DO NOT WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO. I WANT YOU TO GET THESE WORDS DIRECTLY FROM ME. I ALSO SAID THE KING OF KINGS AND QUEEN MOTHER SHOULD BE IN ATTENDANCE DURING THE FAREWELL SESSION. THERE EXIST ONLY ONE GLORY. THIS GREAT AND INDIVISIBLE GLORY IS MEANT FOR ONLY THE ALMIGHTY GOD AND HIS SERVANTS. The rest of other people are placed in positions of responsibility by this one God and Father. And these people no matter their status, stature, race and tongue are subject to the power that has placed them in such positions; AND IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU RESPECT THE GREATEST BEING THAT
  • 9. HAS KEPT THEM WHERE THEY ARE. WHOEVER THEREFORE DISREGARDS OR DISOBEYS THEM, DIRECTLY CHALLENGES GOD, AND SUCH A PERSON SHALL FACE THE WRATH OF GOD. YOUR ACT OF DISOBEDIENCE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SUFFERING TODAY. IT IS ALSO DUE TO YOUR FAILURE TO HONOR THE PRESENCE AND AUTHORITY OF GOD IN MAN. YOU DO NOT HAVE RESPECT FOR ONE ANOTHER. DO YOU NOT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WHENEVER YOU RESPECT MAN YOU ARE DOING SO TO GOD? Clearly if you love one another, you have loved God and if you are truthful to one another, you are equally being truthful to God. Whatever belongs to the Father also belongs to the Son. Everybody is therefore enjoined to humble himself so as to carry out the instructions issued out by the ones that God has placed in positions of authority. By so doing, you will receive many blessings from God. If you adhere to these instructions by respecting those in authority and also endeavor to practice righteousness, then would Brotherhood be recognized. Note that if
  • 10. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is recognized, it would invariably mean that you are equally recognized. The reason being that whatever honor and glory are accorded Brotherhood of the Cross and Star the same which extends to you as well. Also, know that until Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is fully glorified, you cannot have full glory. WHEN GOD IS GLORIFIED THE SON IS ALSO GLORIFIED So, is it not incumbent on you to magnify the glory of God so that consequently you will also be glorified? Anybody who serves God is glorified alongside God. This is in conformity with what the Bible affirms that; whoever believes in the Son invariably believes in the Father who had sent Him. THEREFORE, FROM NOW, IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNNECESSARY TO PLEAD WITH THE KING OF KINGS OR THE HOLY QUEEN MOTHER TO TAKE YOU TO THE FATHER. DO NOT ALSO SEEK TO HAVE AUDIENCE WITH THE KING OF KINGS OR HOLY QUEEN MOTHER. YOU SHOULD DESIST FROM SEEKING TO BE TAKEN
  • 11. TO ANY PERSONALITY IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR TO DEMAND FOR ONE FAVOR OR THE OTHER. Do not involve in backbiting, gossiping, mourning, murmuring and other acts capable of causing discrimination or segregation in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, for the entire world has been united into one indivisible fold. WHAT IS REQUIRED OF YOU IS EXHIBITION OF ABSOLUTE FAITH IN GOD THE FATHER. DO OBEY HIS INJUNCTIONS AND ABIDE STRICTLY BY HIS WORDS. YOUR POST AS A ROYAL HIGHNESS, BISHOP, PASTOR, APOSTLE, CHRIST'S STUDENT OR SERVANT, DEACONESS OR CHILD OF GOD DOES NOT MATTER; WHAT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DO IS TO OBEY GOD'S WORD. YOU MUST ALWAYS HAVE IMPLICIT FAITH IN HIS WORD. ALSO YOU HAVE TO OBEY ALL CONSTITUTED AUTHORITIES. THOSE OF YOU IN THE KINGDOM HAVE TO HONOR AND RESPECT ONE ANOTHER. DO HUMBLE
  • 12. YOURSELF SINCE YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALL THE MESSENGERS OF GOD IN HIS KINGDOM. REMEMBER THAT AS GOD IS REVEALED SO ALSO ARE YOU REVEALED. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
  • 13. THE UNLIMITED POWER: THERE IS NO POWER OR PERSON THAT EXIST APART FROM JESUS CHRIST. THERE IS NO MALE, FEMALE, CHILDREN, HEIRS, SLAVE ETC, FOR IT IS CHRIST ALONE WHO EXISTS IN ALL THINGS. All those who proclaim to have enrolled in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and later left are those who do not seek for God and His kingdom. They are also those who are not ready to mortify the flesh and become one with Christ. Also, those who are in this group are those who do not care for the heavenly but mundane things. ANYONE WHO HAS AGREED TO MORTIFY THE FLESH HAS NO RIGHT TO DANCE TO THE TUNE OF THE FLESH ANY LONGER. RATHER, HE MUST ALWAYS BE LED AND CONTROLLED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. There are some people who go into the bush in order to possess this power but their effort end in fiasco. The medical personnel do pray always to be blessed with this kind of power, but to no avail. The reverend fathers too seek for this power with all their best but to no avail. BUT IF THERE ARE SOME OF YOU HERE WHO WOULD MORTIFY THE FLESH, BELIEVE IN GOD AND PURGE YOURSELVES OF SIN, YOU WILL BE BLESSED WITH THE POWER OF GOD WITHOUT LIMIT. THERE IS NO POWER OR PERSON THAT EXIST APART FROM JESUS CHRIST. THERE IS NO
  • 14. MALE, FEMALE, CHILDREN, HEIRS, SLAVE ETC, FOR IT IS CHRIST ALONE WHO EXISTS IN ALL THINGS. The word of God which has it that, "WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL THE TRUTH, FOR HE WILL NOT SPEAK ON HIS OWN AUTHORITY. BUT WHATEVER HE HEARS HE WILL SPEAK, AND HE WILL DECLARE TO YOU THE THINGS TO COME..." (John 16:13), is vindicated. BUT HAVE YOU ACCEPTED THE PROMISED COMFORTER? IT IS SAID IN OUR FIRST LESSON THUS: FOR AS MANY OF YOU AS WERE BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST HAVE PUT ON CHRIST. THERE IS NEITHER SLAVE NOR FREE, THERE IS NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE, FOR YOU ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS. SEQUEL TO THE STATEMENT ABOVE, THERE IS NEED TO PURGE OURSELVES OF SEGREGATION AND EMBRACE ONENESS AND UNITY HERE IN THE KINGDOM. READ THE FIRST LESSON AGAIN. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU THIS IS THE ERA OF THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. MOHAMMED AFFIRMED THAT IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT HAS THE RIGHT OF LEADERSHIP. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ALSO SAID THAT, THE HOLY SPIRIT OF TRUTH WOULD LEAD THE WORLD, AND IN
  • 15. CONFORMITY WITH THIS PROMISE, HE HAS COME TO LEAD YOU. HAVE YOU RECEIVED HIM BY MORTIFYING THE FLESH? NOTE THAT THE ERA OF FLESH HAD SINCE PASSED. THIS IS THE ERA OF THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU THE KINGDOM HAS ARRIVED: *BUT THE MOST PATHETIC THING IS THAT, IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC FOLD, THERE IS NO MEMBER, RANGING FROM THE POPE TO THE CONGREGATION WHO HAD MORTIFIED THE FLESH. THIS IS SO BECAUSE THERE IS NO MEMBER WHO HAS ACTUALLY GOT BAPTIZED AND BECOME ONE WITH CHRIST. *IPSO FACTO, THEY HAVE NO SHARE IN GOD'S KINGDOM. THIS IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE OF THEM WHO HAS DIED WITH CHRIST SO TO SPEAK. And if you have not died with Christ, how would you then resurrect with Him? THE NEW BIRTH: Beloved, the directive in this gospel is what everyone is expected to
  • 16. undergo in this kingdom. And it is meant for a particular people, so that they should not continue in their problems. Very many people are looking for this kingdom and this particular gospel. And the moment they come to accept baptism into this kingdom and read it, they will deny the world and the fullness thereof. Put differently, you deny the world and the things thereof once you have been baptized into this kingdom. Because it is there and then that is, after baptism that you have become one with Christ. This explains why Christ said, "Verily, verily, I Say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (John 3:5). THE SPIRIT IN THIS BIBLICAL EXCEPT REFERS TO PUTTING ON CHRIST AS GARMENT AND MORTIFYING THE FLESH. THIS GOES IN LINE WITH THE CONTENT OF THE SECOND LESSON WHICH HAS IT THAT: "THOSE WHO BELONG TO CHRIST JESUS HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH ITS PASSIONS AND DESIRES."
  • 17. This connotes that all those who belong to Christ are sinless and do not have need for materialism. Our golden text informs us further that there is no longer Jews, Greek, child, slaves, among others. This means that Christ alone is in existence and in all things. Christ was formally a Carpenter, but right from the day He renounced the things of the world and lived in spirit, He was taken into the wilderness by the Spirit. And right from then till now, He has no other work than to serve God. Saul was the enemy to Christ's followers. But right from the time he went to torture the followers of God and was got subdued by Christ, he did not have any other work to do than serving God. After he was caught by Christ, he was baptized and made one with Christ. And till now, Paul has no concern with sin and materialism. The book entitled, FIRST STEP TO GOD has enjoined us all to purge immoralities, theft falsehood and other vices after the “rebirth baptism.” But today, the reverse is the case, because it is not uncommon to see some
  • 18. people going back to indulge in sins after their baptism. If you are in this group, the question is what kind of baptism did you accept? Do you not know that going back to your former self (sinful acts) after baptism tantamounts to the second death? This is the bane of the world. No matter who a person was, so long as he has come into the kingdom, accepts baptism and decides to serve God diligently, such a person has denied and renounced all form of sins and materialism. RESURRECT WITH CHRIST: Be informed that right from the day you were immersed into the water in the name of baptism, you have become one with Christ, and it then becomes imperative that, you must not go back to defile yourself again with the things of the world. That is why Christ strongly enjoined that, anyone who is not born of water and the Holy Spirit is not worthy to enter into the kingdom of God. BUT THE MOST PATHETIC THING IS THAT, IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC FOLD, THERE IS NO MEMBER, RANGING FROM THE POPE TO THE CONGREGATION WHO HAD MORTIFIED THE
  • 19. FLESH. THIS IS SO BECAUSE THERE IS NO MEMBER WHO HAS ACTUALLY GOT BAPTIZED AND BECOME ONE WITH CHRIST. IPSO FACTO, THEY HAVE NO SHARE IN GOD'S KINGDOM. THIS IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE OF THEM WHO HAS DIED WITH CHRIST SO TO SPEAK. And if you have not died with Christ, how would you then resurrect with Him? And if you have not resurrected with Him, how then can you have a share in His kingdom? SIMILAR THING APPLIES TO THE MOSLEMS WORLD AMONG OTHERS WHO SCOFF AT BAPTISM BY IMMERSION. ACCEPTING BAPTISM AND MORTIFYING THE FLESH CONSTITUTE DYING AND RESURRECTING WITH CHRIST. AND ONCE THIS IS DONE, THE SPIRIT HAS BEEN MADE TO TAKE DOMINION OVER THE FLESH. AND THIS IS ALSO THE WHEN CHRIST HAS BEEN MADE TO RULE OVER YOU. INFACT, THIS IS A PROBLEM FREE PERIOD IN YOUR LIFE. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU ……………………………………………………………………
  • 20. THE SEASON OF GOD'S MERCY The Gospel of today, (Sunday, March 1st. 1992), must be spread all over the world both in radio, television and in the print media. It is said that the children of God and the angels are those who shall judge the world (1 Cor 6:2). A handful of people in the world are watching, waiting, and they are still looking out to see when this would come to pass. Already judgement is going on. You have heard an eloquent testimony of that brother from Rivers State (Nigeria), who went into a trance, and he saw how the great judgement of God was being delivered against those who do not follow the path of rectitude. That is the reason you heard from the First Bible Lesson that "this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached to all nations; and then the end shall come." WHATSOEVER MEANS YOU CAN USE TO SPREAD THE TEACHINGS OF GOD, DO IT. I have already given you this gospel before. The
  • 21. stage we are now at is known as The Season of God's Mercy, where judgement is beginning in the house of God. You will also recall the testimony a certain brother gave about a strange dream he had. He had seen that people were being swept aside by an ill wind. And when he inquired in that dream about the interpretation and significance of that dream, he was told that those swept aside by the wind are those who still indulge in the senseless habit of eating meat and fish. *I have warned you several times to refrain from committing these sins, such as telling lies, stealing and fornication. All these vices tantamount to Judgement of God. The kingdom that we are in is the highest court in the world. I am not talking about a prayer house. If you are a Christian, a Muslim, or Hindu or Buddhist etc., the moment you believe and you are baptized you shall be saved. If you are a pagan, a juju priest, etc., once you refrain from all the diabolical ways of the world, and you become baptized into
  • 22. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, and you believe in this name, you shall be saved. God is impartial. I do not say partial, but I say impartial. God does not cheat any person, irrespective of your tribe, creed, or religious inclination. When once you believe and in this name be baptized, you shall be saved. You have to go to all the corners of the world and impart these teachings to those who have not heard about me before. IT IS NOT BY BUILDING A HUT AND GOING THERE EVERY DAY AND YOU START BARKING, WAILING, IN JESUS' NAME OR CALLING ON THIS OR THAT NAME. THESE WOULD NEVER SAVE YOU. *YOUR DUTY DOES NOT STOP AT BUILDING CATHEDRALS OR BETHELS HERE AND THERE. RATHER YOU ARE TO GO ALL THE CORNERS OF THE WORLD AND TELL THE WORLD ABOUT THESE RECONDITE TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST THAT WHOSOEVER SHALL BELIEVE AND BE BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED. Your work is limited when you erect a small building or bethel and you perform healing and
  • 23. other forms of spiritual services. A great number of people have not heard about Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and my teachings. But a time shall come when the world shall know and hear about Brotherhood. That is why many people harbour doubts about Brotherhood, claiming that since they were baptized before in their various churches in the world, that how come they are being asked again to baptize into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. That is the reason many of them cannot come into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. THE MOMENT YOU CONCEIVE THIS THOUGHT WITHIN YOU, YOU ARE GONE. Others erroneously claim that since they have given alms to the poor and the needy, that they are saved because they have done the injunctions of God. You are equally lost. IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN THIS WONDERFUL NAME AND GET BAPTIZED, YOU SHALL PERISH. You have heard the testimony of the former staunch member of Cherubim and Seraphim Church Movement the other day. He claimed
  • 24. he was all and in all and one of the gurus in the movement. When the call of God reached him, God instructed him to go and get baptized along with his entire family and other members of his household, otherwise he was going to be transferred to the great beyond with his entire family. When he harkened to the directive of God, he was saved with his family from the imminent obliteration. God does not save us because of our righteousness but out of His grace and mercy. If you are a herbalist, necromancer or an occultist, the moment you come before God, prostrate and confess your sins, believe and get baptized and in addition you denounce all the diabolical things you had indulged in before, you shall be saved. *I have warned you to stop stealing and to flee from committing fornication and crime. I EQUALLY TOLD YOU THAT THE ONLY WAY OUT IS TO BAPTIZE AND RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT AND YOU WILL BE SAVED. ONCE YOU DO NOT HAVE ALL THE VIRTUES OF GOD IN
  • 25. YOU, YOU HAVE NO SHARE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. You perform miracles by raising the dead, healing the sick, but you refuse to accept baptism, WHO WILL HELP YOU WHEN YOU PASS AWAY? Clear the bush and leave it for me and I will set the fire. SPREAD THIS GOSPEL OF TRUTH TO THE ENTIRE WORLD; TO THE BIG PERSONALITIES IN THE WORLD AND WHETHER THEY ACCEPT YOU OR NOT SHOULD NOT BOTHER YOU, FOR I WILL CARRY OUT THE OTHER ASPECT OF IT. *ALL THE GREAT AND MIGHTY WORKS DONE HERE IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR ARE DONE THROUGH THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE TEACHINGS AND THE BAPTISM OF GOD. You are aware that for someone to accept baptism is not an easy task. Some people have remained in their denominations for years, and they have not received baptism. *I have not told you to pressure them to be baptized and become saved. THIS IS BECAUSE IF THE FATHER WERE TO REVEAL THE
  • 26. SIGNIFICANCE OF BAPTISM TO US, ESPECIALLY THE DAY WE ARE BAPTIZED, WE SHOULD BE CELEBRATING FEAST ON EVERY OTHER ANNIVERSARY OF THAT PARTICULAR DAY THROUGHOUT THE REST OF OUR LIVES. *THIS IS BECAUSE IT IS THE VERY DAY WE ARE BAPTIZED THAT ALL OUR SINS OF THE PAST GENERATIONS WERE CLEANSED AND WE BECAME CHANGED UNTO THE HOLY SPIRIT. If someone comes to you to ask you about the intricacies of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, do not say anything. Let the one get baptized first before you pay him or her any attention. *You are now in BCS and you believe someone who gives you vision and extracts charms from your body. WHAT ABOUT BAPTISM? IN THE CASE OF BAPTISM, MONEY IS NOT REQUIRED. BAPTISM DOES NOT COST YOU ANYTHING PROVIDED YOU BELIEVE IN THIS NAME. Our Lord Jesus Christ told Nicodemus that unless he was born again that he would not enter the kingdom of God. Nicodemus asked
  • 27. Our Lord Jesus Christ how could he be born again, when he was old and already a full grown man? The answer that Christ gave him was that UNLESS NICODEMUS WAS BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT, HE WOULD NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD (John 3:1-5). *You are a member of Amorc. If you do not denounce it and accept baptism, you shall not be saved. WHOEVER MUST ESCAPE THE WRATH OF GOD AND ACCEPT BAPTISM, AND BELIEVE, SHALL BE SAVED. *I HAVE TOLD YOU TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT A BROTHERHOOD CHILD IS STANDING ON A ROCK AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM FOR THEM. THE UNDOING IS THAT AFTER CONFESSING OUR SINS, WE RETURN TO COMMIT THE SAME SIN WE HAD CONFESSED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. *MANY PEOPLE ARE SERVING VARIOUS JAIL TERMS AND SOME ARE IN DETENTION CAMPS BECAUSE OF THEIR DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD. THEY WERE GIVEN THE POWER OF THE HOLY
  • 28. SPIRIT BUT THEY REFUSED TO ACCEPT BAPTISM AND BELIEVE IN GOD. *THE SAME PROBLEM APPLIES TO PATIENTS IN HOSPITAL WARDS. IF ONLY THE GOVERNMENT WOULD ALLOW BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR MEMBERS TO GO TO ALL THESE PLACES, HOSPITALS, PRISON YARDS, POLICE CELLS, ETC. TO PRAY FOR THE INMATES, YOU WILL SEE THAT SOON THESE PEOPLE WOULD BE REFORMED, DISCHARGED AND ACQUITTED. *ANYBODY WHO IS SICK, ASK HIM TO CONFESS HIS SINS AND BELIEVE IN THIS NAME AND BECOME BAPTIZED, AND ALL WILL BE WELL AND THE SICKNESSES AND TRIBULATIONS WOULD VANISH. ** BAPTISM IN ESSENCE MEANS THE DENOUNCING OF ALL MUNDANE PLEASURES, VICES, DIABOLICAL DEITIES OF THE WORLD AND NEVER AGAIN GOING BACK TO COMMIT THE VARIOUS SINS ENUMERATED. ONCE WE HAVE COMPLIED WITH THESE, WE SHALL BE SAVED.
  • 29. READ: MATTHEW 28:19-20: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." IF YOU GO OUTSIDE AND START ERECTING MANSION, CATHEDRALS, HERE AND THERE, AND YOU BUY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, ALL THESE THINGS WOULD NOT HELP YOU. **THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO GO INTO THE WORLD AND INFORM THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT ME AND BCS, TELL THEM THE TEACHINGS IN THIS KINGDOM. All the problems and tribulations you heard from all the nations are because they have of their refusal to surrender and recognize the presence of God on earth. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
  • 30. I DID NOT WANT TO BAPTIZE JUST ANYBODY, THAT IS, THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, for instance, I did not baptize any person from 1956 to 1957. It was just a month to our departure to 26 Mbukpa that I started baptizing people. This was because, I did not want to baptize just anybody, that is, those who do not believe in our Lord Jesus Christ. The first set of converts were baptized between the end of July, 1958 and August of the same year. On this note, therefore, no baptism should be administered to any person who has not believed in God, and does not know what is sin and cannot accept having ever committed any. Before 1958, all the people who came for prayers and to attend services, had to denounce their various churches, cults, secret societies, and other sources of power they believed in. How then could I have baptized such people? It was at 26 Mbukpa Road,
  • 31. Calabar that some people started discarding their rings, bangles, charms, and amulets. If God did not apply His great wisdom, He would not have had any follower on earth. At that time, I could not place my hands on people's head for any reason if he could not confess all his sins. If he had begrudged any person, he had to go first to make peace before I could pray for him. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU THE KINGDOM OF THE WORLD HAS BECOME THAT OF GOD AND HIS CHRIST WHEN IT IS SAID THAT THE KINGDOM OF THE WORLD HAS BECOME THAT OF GOD AND HIS CHRIST, (REV 11:15), YOU ARE THE ONES BEING REFERRED TO. WHEN IT IS SAID THAT THE KINGDOM OF THE WORLD HAS BECOME THAT OF GOD AND HIS CHRIST, (REV 11:15), YOU ARE THE ONES BEING REFERRED TO. FORMERLY YOU WERE
  • 32. IDOL-WORSHIPPERS BUT TODAY, YOU ARE A BROTHERHOOD MEMBER ENJOYING THE FULL PROTECTION OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD. THIS IS BECAUSE FROM THE VERY DAY YOU BELIEVED AND GOT BAPTIZED, YOU HAD RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT. Therefore, the Kingdom of this world has become that of the Almighty God and His Christ. A true child of God in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star serves God 24 hours without any complaint. Those of the world cannot stay awake one night without complaint. It is said: "fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell". (Matt 10:28). Today, all members of Brotherhood are free from the above warning because they are not under any law. Nothing can kill you anymore. It is very pathetic to see a Brotherhood member going to a necromancer, juju doctor, or taking any form of medication. This is because, Christ having taken possession of you, no other power works in you. If you are involved in any diabolical
  • 33. practices against any person, it cannot be effective. It should be known that, you are not what you think you are. All Brotherhood members are not just human beings, they are "Spirit". It is this "spirit" that does all things. You are only witnesses to the work of the Holy Spirit. Any person who points an accusing finger at you, does so to Our Lord Jesus Christ. To prove this, if you go back to eat the former food which you discarded, you will not be comfortable. Thus, the choice of food to be taken is the entire prerogative of the Holy Spirit indwelling you. But rest assured that you are in the new world and in the Kingdom of God. You are therefore, free to go about preaching, singing and testifying about it. Read the second bible lesson again. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
  • 34. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE AUGUST PENTECOSTAL JOHN 1:28 30 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. 29: The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world. 30: This is of whom I said, After me cometh which is preferred before me: for he is before me. JOHN 3:28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, said, I am not the Christ, but sent before him. 29: He that has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. 30: He must increase, but I must decrease. Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy
  • 35. to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Mat 3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. Mat 3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. Mat 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? Mat 3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. Mat 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: Mat 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
  • 36. AUGUST IS A MONTH OF GREAT SIGNIFICANCE AUGUST WAS THE MONTH THAT OUR LORD -JESUS CHRIST WAS REVEALED FOR BEING SO HUMBLE THAT HE HAD TO GO TO JOHN THE BAPTIST FOR BAPTISM BY IMMERSION. Our Lord Jesus Christ was baptized at the age of 30 (thirty) in the month of August. That was the day He died the first death, and for that reason, the second death had no dominion over Him; and so He resurrected. AUGUST IS A MONTH OF GREAT SIGNIFICANCE, SO WE ARE NOT ONLY COMMEMORATING THE HISTORIC EXODUS OF THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR FROM NO. 8 ETON STREET TO NO 26 MBUKPA ROAD, BUT WE ARE ALSO CELEBRATING BECAUSE IT IS THE MONTH OF CHRIST'S REVELATION. THE BISHOPS WERE APPOINTED AND ORDAINED IN AUGUST. DO NOT DOUBT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MONTH OF AUGUST. August is a month of great significance, so we are not only commemorating the historic exodus of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star from No. 8 Eton
  • 37. Street to No 26 Mbukpa Road, but we are also celebrating because it is the month of Christ's revelation. August was the month that our Lord - Jesus Christ was revealed for being so humble that He had to go to John the Baptist for baptism by immersion. Before His baptism, Christ had no disciples. It was after His baptism and revelation that He began to have disciples. Recall what God said about our Lord Jesus Christ that; "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Matthew 3: 17. A lot of great and significant events take place in the month of August. Professor Assasu Inyang Ibom's first book was read in the Kingdom in August; THE BISHOPS WERE APPOINTED AND ORDAINED IN AUGUST. DO NOT DOUBT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MONTH OF AUGUST. Everybody has to appreciate God's kindness to mankind in whatever he does in life. It is through these deeds that salvation is extended to the entire world, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. THIS IS A VERY LUCKY GENERATION; HENCE, ALL PEOPLE SHOULD GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR THE ENORMOUS GOODNESS HE HAS SHOWN TO US. This is God's Kingdom and not the kingdom of the world. In this Kingdom, people are not mandated or forced to carry out certain duties or order. RATHER THEY ARE ALLOWED TO LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT AND ADHERE TO WHAT
  • 38. THEY ARE DIRECTED SPIRITUALLY. THAT IS WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS "SHOW LOVE" OR "FREE-WILL OFFERING". BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
  • 39. THE BIRTHS OF THESE TWO PERSONALITIES HAVE PUT TROUBLE INTO THE WORLD. JOHN THE BAPTIST AND OUR LORDJESUS CHRIST *IF YOU DECIDE TO DECEIVE YOURSELF THAT THE WORD OF GOD WILL NOT STAND, THEN YOU ARE LYING. GOD HAS NOT EMPOWERED ANY MAN. HE ALONE HAS THE POWER AND AUTHORITY. NOT EVEN THE ANGELS CAN EXERCISE ANY POWER. WE ALL HAVE TO GLORIFY GOD. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Brethren, have you heard that? He has said no prophecy of God will not be fulfilled accordingly. Predestination is what is prevailing now. When hopes are exhausted the Redeemer cometh. It is true that the world has lost all hopes about the coming of the Lord and has even concluded that he is not coming
  • 40. anymore. But what about the prophesy that a virgin girl was to bring forth the Messiah? The Messiah came when all hopes about Him had run out. But eventually He did come. Truly, brethren, all prophecies from God whether they are yet to be given or have been given already, will be fulfilled. When you stand, derail or fall you are doing so unto God. It is only God’s will alone that has to be fulfilled. All those who lament, those who boast, those who are proud, those who are sorrowful, those who cry, they are all foolish. Have you therefore not seen how this kingdom has confounded the whole world? The births of these two personalities have put trouble into the world. Herod himself beheaded John. He had gone to places in search of John. Because Herod could not arrest or find John, he sent the assassins to him. IF YOU DECIDE TO DECEIVE YOURSELF THAT THE WORD OF GOD WILL NOT STAND, THEN YOU ARE LYING. GOD HAS NOT EMPOWERED ANY MAN. HE ALONE HAS THE POWER AND AUTHORITY. NOT EVEN THE ANGELS CAN EXERCISE ANY POWER. WE ALL HAVE TO GLORIFY GOD.
  • 41. WE IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR ARE THOSE WHO WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. WE ARE THOSE WHO REVERENCE GOD. WE ARE THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN GOD AND TO US GOD IS THE FIRST AND THE LAST. WE ARE NOT SADUCEESSES, PUBLICANS, NEITHER ARE WE PHARISEES, NOR HEATHENS. WE ARE THE KINGDOM OF GOD. WE ARE THOSE THAT WORSHIP THE TRUE GOD. WE ARE FOLLOWING GOD FOOLISHLY, LIKE SHEEP BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE DO NOT EXIST AT ALL, AND THAT WE DO NOT HAVE EYES TO SEE, NOR THE ABILITY TO DO ANYTHING. ONLY GOD HAS THE OVERALL ENERGY TO DO EVERYTHING. IT WAS EVEN WRITTEN ABOUT US THAT WE SHALL FOLLOW HIM JUST AS WE ARE DOING. God saves us by grace not by our good works, indeed not by any parameter but by sheer love and mercy. Know it very clearly that before the foundation of the world was laid, the kingdom had existed and it shall forever exist. Read the Second Bible LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU THE BAPTISM OF JOHN WAS FOR REPENTANCE, WHILE THAT OF BROTHERHOOD IS FOR FORGIVENESS AND REMITTANCE OF SINS. I THANK
  • 42. GOD FOR THE BAPTISM OF JOHN THE BAPTIST, BECAUSE IT BROUGHT MAN TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUE GOD. Acts 2:38-39 "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." The Need For Repentance The above lesson is applicable to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. As stated earlier, the baptism of John was for repentance, while that of Brotherhood is for forgiveness and remittance of sins. I thank God for the baptism of John the Baptist, because it brought man to the knowledge of the true God. Through his baptism, people believed in our Lord Jesus Christ. After the Baptism of remittance of sins, the Holy Spirit is given to such a believer. In fact, this promise has been made manifest in
  • 43. the children of Brotherhood. Whoever baptizes you, be he a child or an adult as long as he is a baptized Brotherhood, your sins are remitted. However, if the baptism is administered by any other person who is not in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, it changes to that of repentance. Every other baptism in the world is undertaken for repentance; so that those who accept such baptism may believe in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star as the New Kingdom of God. Simon Peter was baptized seven times before he met our Lord Jesus Christ. If he had not received the baptism of John, he would not have known our Lord Jesus Christ. After the era of our Lord Jesus Christ, I have not seen or heard of anybody who truly baptized people for the remission of his/her sins. Every person seems to be baptized so that their problems may vanish. Henceforth, let it be known that if you force someone, by much persuasion to be baptized, it means that you are the one who had accepted the baptism and not him/her.
  • 44. The best thing to do is to preach the word of God to someone. When the person listens, and by what he hears, asks how he/she can be saved, you then have the chance to inform him to confess, repent and refrain from all sins; then he will be baptized. Let him know that after the baptism, he will receive the Holy Spirit. Consequently, if he believes and accepts baptism, he is saved. Somebody who is entangled in so many secret societies and cults, and who is deeply involved in traditional medicine and occultism may become bored about his situation. If he comes to you to know what he may do to be saved, you can tell him that, unless he forgoes all those former entanglements, repents and baptizes, he cannot receive salvation. If he believes and baptizes his sins will be remitted and he will be saved. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
  • 45. THE REIGN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Do not argue with any person about the scriptures. Any person who argues that God is in existence, that our Lord Jesus Christ came and that the Holy Spirit is in existence, tell him to forget about it. Tell him to get himself ready for baptism. Do not take him to baptism in water near Ambo Street, so that he might say that you have probably introduced incredible things unto the water. Take him to water distant from Ambo. Let him take the baptism there. Provided such a person confesses all his sins and denounces his membership of secret societies. He should as well empty his heart of all grudges against people. He should denounce and right away disassociate himself of juju and all forms of concoctions. Let him throw himself into absolute contrition over his sinfulness then get himself baptized. He will certainly receive the power of the Holy Spirit.
  • 46. This is the only way. There is no other way. This is the reign of the Holy Spirit. It is impossible that you can pass through the windows and enter the house. You cannot take a roundabout road to get into the house. It is imperative that you must pass through the gateway. Then the great usher will open the door for you. If this direct way were to be of no importance, why did Our Lord Jesus Christ go to John? Our Lord Jesus Christ in childhood was taken to the temple for blessing according to the order of Moses. Further, according to the law of Abraham, He was circumcised. Yet the two systems were not relevant for Him. In order to fulfill that which was written in the scriptures, He went on His own volition to John and requested for water baptism. Then He was baptized through immersion by John. John argued that He should rather baptize Him. But Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "do it now, for so it is right we should do this." (Matt 3:15). This can clearly show you that baptism is very necessary; it is the only key which can unlock
  • 47. the way to the Father. There is no other possible way. It was through this way of baptism that Our Lord Jesus Christ achieved the divine grace, that as He came out of water He was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit. The voice came out proclaiming: "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, hear ye Him." For a period of 29 years, He was in Jerusalem, going about; no person knew Him and had not even a disciple. His name was not heard abroad. From the moment He went through the normal process of baptism and received the Holy Spirit, His name generated an echo of prominence. Then He started the work. The Holy Spirit led Him to the wilderness and He started doing marvelous works. He started raising the dead, making the blind to see, deaf to hear, the dumb to speak and the lame to walk. Now you say you want to serve God. You want to be the minister of God, you will first go to Canada, Britain, America, India and the rest of the countries in the world to study. I ask you,
  • 48. is God's work ever subjected to human studies or learnings? You go to university to study. Stop studying again and worrying yourself about it. Go and process yourself through baptism and receive the Holy Spirit as a gift. Right from that moment you go through this, you will preach the gospel; you will heal; you will see God and know Him and His power. Right now you are arguing like a foolish person. A person on top of a palm tree says the palm fruit is not ripe but you stay on the ground and say it is very ripe. Are you a sensible person? A person who has been baptized and received the Holy Spirit, tells you that he has seen God face to face. That he has seen Our Lord Jesus Christ; that he has also seen the Holy Spirit and the host of angels, you argue with him and hush him to shut up that Jesus Christ has not yet come; nor has the Holy Spirit. You are still on the ground. I do not even talk about those people who pretend to be baptized by pouring water in the basin, and sprinkling it on people's foreheads.
  • 49. What is the meaning of that? I would not like to talk about those who wrap a flag around people's heads and describe this to be baptism. Can this be found in the Bible? REFERENCE:- Everlasting Gospel By THE SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE, LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU On:-"BAPTISM BY IMMERSION" From: HERALD OF THE NEW KINGDOM, Fri. May 4- Thur.May 10, 1984. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….......... IF BAPTISM WERE TO BE OF NO IMPORTANCE, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST COULD NOT HAVE REQUESTED JOHN THE BAPTIST TO GET HIM BAPTIZED. Read Matthew 3:13-15. Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John, forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS BAPTIZED AT THE AGE OF 30 (THIRTY) IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST. THAT WAS THE DAY HE DIED THE FIRST DEATH, AND FOR THAT REASON, THE SECOND DEATH HAD NO DOMINION OVER HIM; AND SO HE RESURRECTED. That is what is applicable to all the
  • 50. children of God. Death has no power over them. What you call death is no death but a spiritual transfer. The first death is that day you repent and completely refrain from all sins and get baptized. When you are baptized (by immersion) and do not go back to your former vices, but surrender yourself to the service of God, you cannot die anymore. This is because, you have no more association with the agents of death. What are the agents of death? They are fornication, lies, stealing, murdering, backbiting and many other vices. All those who are still lustful of the world and the fullness thereof, in spite of their baptism, shall be damned. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, FOR INSTANCE, WAS A QUALIFIED CARPENTER FROM HIS YOUTHFUL AGE TO THE AGE OF THIRTY. ALL ALONG, HE WAS DOING THE CARPENTRY WORK, BUT AFTER HIS BAPTISM, HE RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT WITHOUT MEASURE; AND SINCE THEN, HE DID NOT GO BACK TO CARPENTRY. HE CONTINUED WITH THE WORK OF GOD HAVING SURRENDERED HIMSELF FULLY TO GOD. UP TILL THIS MOMENT, HE HAS BEEN IN ACTIVE SERVICE WITHOUT SLUMBERING. THIS IS THE MODEL FOR ALL BELIEVERS. YOU MAY RECALL THAT WHEN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS NOT BAPTIZED, HE WAS NOT TEMPTED
  • 51. BY SATAN. IMMEDIATELY AFTER HIS BAPTISM, HE WAS TAKEN TO THE WILDERNESS WHERE HE FASTED FORTY DAYS AND NIGHTS. THERE AND THEN SATAN TEMPTED HIM. (READ MATT 4:1-10). IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST COULD NOT SUCCUMB TO THESE TEMPTATIONS BECAUSE HE WAS LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. NOTE VERY IMPORTANTLY THAT THIS HOLY SPIRIT WAS BESTOWED UPON HIM JUST AFTER HIS BAPTISM. THEREFORE, WHEN SATAN DEPARTED FROM HIM, HE WAS MINISTERED UNTO BY THE ANGELS. (Matt 4:11). Similarly, all those who had decided to forsake all forms of sins and get baptized shall also be ministered unto by the angels. On the other hand, those who have refused to forsake all forms of sins and get baptized shall be damned. Henceforth, before any person is baptized, he must read this sermon and be prepared to refrain from all vices and evil practices which are not in consonance with the tenets of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. If this is not done, your baptism should be regarded as an ordinary bath in the water. However, if you hearken to this teaching, you will be free from all bondage of sin and satanism. You will then
  • 52. become the real Child of God. Romans 6:2 asks: "How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" Our Lord Jesus Christ died once and thereafter He lives. Those who are dead and can never resurrect are those who have never been baptized. The root of death without resurrection can be traced to the wrong preaching given to new converts - that once they are baptized, all their problems are gone. They are not told to repent and refrain from sins. These new converts therefore, go in for baptism as though they are going to the hospital or to the necromancer. Whosoever knows and confesses his or her sins, repents and is baptized is saved. This is because his sins, having been forgiven on earth, are forgiven also in heaven. Whether you are a royal highness, king, queen, pope, archbishop, millionaire, billionaire, general or field marshal in the armed forces, you have to abide by His teachings. Apart from this, you have yourself to blame. Denounce Your Old Ways Before Baptism
  • 53. The two baptisms - Repentance and Holy Spirit - are very important. If you undergo these two types of baptisms, you will have nothing to do with anger, fighting, bearing malice or anything that will cause discrimination, discomfort and segregation. This is why some people say that they are baptized into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, yet they can neither pray, preach nor practice any sermon. In addition to baptism of repentance, if you had received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, you will not gossip, backbite, tell lies, indulge in idolatry, commit adultery, smoke tobacco and take all types of drugs. Do not ask any person to rush for baptism so that his sickness, court case or other problems may be cast away. Let the person confess all his or her sins; repent and refrain from such sins, then receive baptism. Thereafter such a person is washed clean and free from all judgement in heaven and on earth. If you know you have committed too many sins and cannot bear the burden of them any longer, take refuge in our Lord Jesus Christ. This could only be done through repentance,
  • 54. refraining from, and abhorring sins. After this, you will have to accept baptism as administered in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. No prayer or fasting can save you without the above stated method. This is confirmed by the words of our Lord Jesus Christ as recorded in Matt 11:28: "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest". Most people in various denominations baptize converts with the least opportunity. This should not be so. In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, for instance, I did not baptize any person from 1956 to 1957. It was just a month to our departure to 26 Mbukpa that I started baptizing people. This was because, I did not want to baptize just anybody, that is, those who do not believe in our Lord Jesus Christ. The first set of converts were baptized between the end of July, 1958 and August of the same year. On this note, therefore, no baptism should be administered to any person who has not believed in God, and does not know what is sin and cannot accept having ever committed any. Before 1958, all the
  • 55. people who came for prayers and to attend services, had to denounce their various churches, cults, secret societies, and other sources of power they believed in. How then could I have baptized such people? It was at 26 Mbukpa Road, Calabar that some people started discarding their rings, bangles, charms, and amulets. If God did not apply His great wisdom, He would not have had any follower on earth. At that time, I could not place my hands on people's head for any reason if he could not confess all his sins. If he had begrudged any person, he had to go first to make peace before I could pray for him. At that time, whoever did not denounce his charms and cults, I did not pray for such a fellow.
  • 56. The Gift Of Holy Spirit The spirit, blood and water move and work in unison. (1 John 5:8). Most people in the prison yard and those in different precarious situations are being disturbed by the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit is in you, you will be punished for any sin you commit; and if you continue in sin, your end is death. In this wise therefore, once a sick person confesses all his sins truly and repents wholeheartedly, all his sicknesses will vanish completely. Many people are plagued with various problems. The cause of their mishaps could be traced to the fact that they are not baptized. This fact could be confirmed in Acts 2:38 where Peter advised the men of Judea during Pentecost to "repent and be baptized everyone of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost". Similarly any person who does not possess the Holy Spirit must be baptized. So that he may receive it. The churches do not possess the Holy Spirit, yet, they claim to be God's children who are
  • 57. serving Him. How can you be a child of God or serve Him without the Holy Spirit? Those who must serve God satisfactorily, must serve Him in Spirit and truth (John 4:23). Most people say they do not want a spiritual church, but they crave for the "real church" or what they call orthodox churches. Consequently, you can see their failure and perdition and how they die daily. As you go about praying for people and giving them money and other gifts, can such things save them? Though you may buy a car, a house or other things to a person or even train him in the university, he cannot receive salvation unless he confesses, repents and be baptized as is done in Brotherhood. Someone may pray for another and all his sickness, poverty and his hardship vanish; but if he does not possess the Holy Spirit, he is not saved. It was for this reason that our Lord Jesus commissioned His disciples to "go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost...." (Matt 28:19). Therefore, anyone who
  • 58. realizes his or her sins and repents and gets baptized is saved and will be free from any judgement. On the other hand, he that feels he or she has no cause for repentance and subsequent baptism is condemned and nothing can save him. If he likes, he may distribute all his wealth to the poor and be charitable to all. At the end, he must perish because he believes not in God. The gate-way to this Kingdom is by confession, repenting and refraining from all sins, and then baptism (by immersion). As you emerge from the water, you have received the Holy Spirit. If anybody had not confessed, repented and refrained from all his former vices and evil ways, do not baptize him. If you do, it will be of no use, because the new spirit will be at war with his "customers" (sins). He therefore, will not stand fast in faith to God. From today, if any person desires to be baptized, ask him or her to confess about all his cults, secret societies, different sources of power and wealth. In other words, all his sins must be confessed before you baptize him. Any person
  • 59. who does not accept that he is a sinner, do not baptize him. On the contrary, all those who realize their sinfulness and seek for baptism should be baptized. Do not beg or plead with any person to accept baptism. The first lesson below emphasizes this point. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… MY MISSION EMULATE ME: Many times, I have told you that mine is leadership by example. I do not teach one thing and do another. I have several times told you to emulate me. EVER SINCE I CAME INTO THIS EARTH PLANE, MY TARGET IS TO ACCOMPLISH MY ASSIGNMENT OF CHANGING MAN. AND I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH SIN. I HAVE NEVER COMMITTED SIN. MY LIFE STYLE IS A ONE WAY TRAFFIC- RIGHTEOUSNESS TO THE CORE. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE FAITH OR HOPE IN ANY MAN OR THE MATERIAL THINGS OF THIS WORLD. THIS IS SO BECAUSE I AM NOT OF THE WORLD. GETTING BAPTIZED INTO THIS KINGDOM IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO REFRAIN FROM SINS
  • 60. BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE ATTENDANT EFFECTS. YOU WOULD NOT TOY WITH THIS RARE OPPORTUNITY ACCORDED YOU. God would have used you to accomplish great task, if you had refrained from sins. He would have indwelled and used you to His glory for your salvation and blessing. You suffer because you are so much in love with the world at the expense of the love of God. Let the Holy Spirit direct you, and you will not be the same again. Remember you have been advised: Those who have ears let them hear. May God bless His Holy words. Amen.
  • 61. MY MISSION It is imperative that, we are baptized, because without baptism, no one is worthy of the kingdom of God. This explains why people like John the Baptist, Jesus and others embraced baptism without delay. In fact, baptism constitutes mortifying the flesh, and being made pure. So baptism is very significant in the life of everyone. A local adage has it that, a blind man cannot lead a fellow blind man. Imagine someone who baptized many people but does not have baptismal card himself. If Christ did not die, He would not have been able to perform miraculous works, neither would He have been called, Christ. He would not have had the Holy Spirit in Him. And it is your failure to die and resurrect with Christ through baptism, that you are unable to perform any miracle in the kingdom. Since some people do not have baptismal certificate, they cannot inform the people they baptized about the significance of baptism, and the importance of baptismal certificate. They do not know that anyone who has been baptized
  • 62. has died and resurrected with Christ, therefore such is justified. So any one who has been baptized and made to resurrect with Christ is justified and such has to be glorified alongside with Christ. The baptism of John has repentance as its aim. THE BAPTISM OF JOHN IS PERFORMED SO THAT YOU SHOULD BELIEVE FERVENTLY IN OUR LORD CHRIST JESUS, WHILE THE BAPTISM OF CHRIST ON THE OTHER HAND, CONNOTES THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, SO THAT YOU MIGHT RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. No matter the extent of your sinfulness, when once you confess your sins and are immersed into water in the name of baptism, you are one with Christ, justified, and are given the Holy Spirit as a gift, for you have died and left behind the materials things of the world. THE ESSENCE OF BAPTISM: If you go back to sinful acts after baptism, you are made to confront tribulations and sufferings. The question is, what then does your baptism entail? I preached this to bring
  • 63. you to the accurate knowledge of truth. An adage has it that an orphan uses both his head and hand to erect a fence. Some of you do not know what it entails to indulge in sins after baptism, that is why it is not uncommon to hear you testifying and confessing of committing sins everyday even after Confession. This very gospel needs to be read by every one in order to know the significance of baptism. At baptism and upon the confessions of your sins, all your sins are forgiven. Anyone who fails to be baptized cannot be saved. Mortify the flesh for the spirit to take dominion over you. All those who are Christ’s followers have seen their nakedness, for they all have realized the fact that there is no righteous man on earth due to the fact that, we were conceived of iniquity and born of unrighteousness. And it is the baptism preached in this very sermon that can save us and make us pure and worthy of God. This is because it is after baptism that we are blessed with the Holy Spirit as a gift. This gift is meant
  • 64. for us and our offspring. But we cannot achieve such due to our indulgence in sins after baptism. MY MISSION I do not come so that you might be unhealthy, sick, condemned, lack and die. Rather, I come to feed you with the accurate knowledge of truth and I have done same openly. Therefore, if you perish as a result of not imbibing the truth, your blood is on you. Since it is the patient that always seek for the physician, anyone who knows that he needs baptism must seek for it. And anyone who knows the right thing that should be done and fails to do it, has him or herself to blame, because he or she is condemned. Eventhough the money and wealth of such people are distributed to people along the street, they would all perish. Most of the lunatics in the psychiatric hospital are not actually mad. Rather, they are tormented by the spirit. And would only be made whole if only the person accept baptism. The same thing happens with those in the
  • 65. prison custody, because as a result of their not being baptized, the spirit in them instructs them to do things abnormally. Similar thing is happening in the hospitals. And if these people are made to confess their sins and accept baptism, most of them would be freed. We are enjoined that the flesh uses its lust wage war against the spirit. And the spirit too in response also wages War against the flesh. So both of them are incompatible. It is the war waged by the flesh against the spirit that makes people behave like mad, sick persons and prisoners. And once you accept baptism, you have killed the flesh leaving the spirit to exists alone in you. And by so doing, you are saved and made normal. Baptism does not provide you with any material thing, instead it gives you eternal life. And once you accept it, you are justified. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
  • 66. THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: *Mohammed affirmed that it is the Holy Spirit that has the right of leadership. Our Lord Jesus Christ also said that, the Holy Spirit of Truth would lead the world, and in conformity with this promise, He has come to lead you. Have you received Him by mortifying the flesh? Note that the era of flesh had since passed. This is the era of the leadership of the Holy Spirit. GALATIANS 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: If you do not die with Christ, how can you resurrect with him. If you do not resurrect with Him, how can you live with Him. If you do not live with Him, how then can you have eternal life as expected of you? If Christ did not receive the Holy Spirit through baptism, how then would he have been able to perform great and wonderful works? We all are true
  • 67. witnesses to the fact that, Jesus Christ was led by the Holy Spirit And any one who accept baptism has put on Christ, therefore he has to do things according to The dictates of the spirit alone. And by then you are led by Christ alone. That is why you are hardly harmed when the spirit is ruling over you. You are easily harmed when the spirit is killed as a result of your indulgence in sins after baptism. And this constitutes the problems and troubles faced by the members of this kingdom. Baptism is the greatest of all things found in heaven and on earth. Because it is what changes, cleanses, and brings forgiveness to man. That is why anyone who is baptisied and made one with Christ, is hardly harmed. BAPTISM FOR REPENTANCE The magnitude of your problems not withstanding, if you confess and repent of your sins and accept baptism your problems will cease immediately. This is because baptism after repentance is a means for forgiveness of sin. This therefore, accounts for why you
  • 68. should note that except one confesses his sins, believes in God and accepts baptism, such person is condemned. It is needless for one who has not mortified his flesh with Christ to defend himself. And to such a person, there is no salvation for him. Our Lord Jesus Christ was the first man to die, and resurrect. So, He has no business with the second death. That is why we must all join him in the first death, so that we would all resurrect with him. Expect you die with Him through the mortification of the flesh, you cannot resurrect and without resurrection you have perished. A lot of people do not believe in resurrection. You erroneously believe that there is no resurrection. Indeed, there is resurrection, for after all the children of God cannot die. There is no other death for them except to mortify the lust of the flesh and its affection. If you do this, you will live forever without the fear of death. You will recall that when that young man demanded Christ to permit him to go and bury his father first before coming to join Him, Christ told him that he should leave the dead to bury their dead. (Luke 9:60). This he said because as many as
  • 69. follow Him, there is no death for them. He is every thing to them. Do not misconstrue the mortification of the flesh to mean murder or death on the cross. It does not mean you committing suicide. It rather implies repentance from all manners of sin. It is a complete change from vice to virtue. In so doing, you would no more have anything to do with the world but rather you would walk within the tenets of the kingdom of God. You have been singing the spiritual chorus that says: 'The spirit of living God come and lead us a right,' do you really mean it? He has come to lead, teach, change and salvage but the question is, are you ready for Him? Mohammed affirmed that it is the Holy Spirit that has the right of leadership. Our Lord Jesus Christ also said that, the Holy Spirit of Truth would lead the world, and in conformity with this promise, He has come to lead you. Have you received Him by mortifying the flesh? Note that the era of flesh had since passed. This is
  • 70. the era of the leadership of the Holy Spirit. No other force is in operation now other than the Holy Spirit. He is in all things and He is everything. You would now realise that Christ is the ruling force now. We are all one in Him and as such, we are joint - heirs in the kingdom and so we are ruling with Him. There is no more division, we now do everything in common for we are all one. The flesh does not exist any more. Our Lord Jesus Christ has taken dominion over all things. Note, I am not saying that everybody has this spirit. It is limited to those who have mortified the flesh. You should recall that during the time of John the Baptist, many people were baptised but out of the lot, it was only Our Lord Jesus Christ that the Holy Spirit descended upon. This therefore confirms the fact that the Holy Spirit is for those who were predestined to have it. As many as have decided to work for Him, definitely, he will bestow the spirit on them. Without the spirit, none can function effectively. The spirit is the separational force in man; without it, you cannot perform. As many as have mortified the flesh, they have
  • 71. put on Christ. They are no more functioning independent of Him, rather, He monitors their activities and indeed use them to His glory. These are the people who have died with him and also resurrected with Him. And to them, there is no death. They are one with Christ. That is why, in spite of the population of the world, all those that have this hope are one. We have now put on Christ, all problems are solved and above all, we are fortified. After all, Christ is in perfect control of everything in the world. Read the golden text again. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU THE SEARCH FOR GOD Many little children today know the Almighty God. Aged people have also known God. Even the arch-argumentators have now accepted the present manifestation of God. There are women who are stricken in age and do not really see things clearly but they have now seen God and have accepted Him.
  • 72. A NEIGHBOR WILL NOT TEACH NEIGHBOR, NEITHER WILL BROTHER, SAYING KNOW THE LORD, BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS SEEN HIM AND ALL HAVE KNOWN HIM. (Heb 8:11). In the time past, people searched for God in the moon, star, sun, etc. They went to Jerusalem, Jericho, to mountains, inside water, and everywhere in search of God, but they could not see Him, it is for this reason that our Lord Jesus Christ made a far-reaching statement saying: "Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightening cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." (Matt 24:26-27). DO NOT ADVISE ANY PERSON TO COME TO CALABAR THAT HE/SHE WILL SEE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. DO NOT GO THERE, IF ANYBODY TELLS YOU ABOUT GOD, DO NOT GO THERE. FOR THE NEW COVENANT DOES NOT TELL YOU THAT UNLESS YOU GO TO INDIA, ENGLAND, ISRAEL OR NIGERIA, YOU WILL NOT SEE GOD. HE IS EVERYWHERE.
  • 73. Whether you are in India, England or America, and a person comes to you, tell him to kneel down, confess all his sins and denounce all his membership of secret societies. Let him become truly repentant and take him into the water for baptism by immersion. AS SOON AS HE EMERGES FROM THE WATER, HE WILL RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. THIS IS A CHALLENGE I HAVE THROWN TO ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD. If you claim to be a doctor, there is no argument about this. But kneel down, confess your sins and become contrite and repentant, accepting the baptism. After you have gone inside the water three times and come out, see whether you will not speak a different tongue. IF YOU CLAIM TO BE A MEMBER OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, WHETHER YOU ARE A POPE OR A BISHOP, OR AN ORDINARY MEMBER, ONCE YOU CONFESS YOUR SINS AND BECOME REPENTANT, GO IN FOR WATER BAPTISM THREE TIMES THEN COME OUT. YOU WILL NEVER FAIL TO SEE A GREAT DIFFERENCE IN YOURSELF. You say you are a
  • 74. great society man; that you can go into the Sun, the moon and star; that you can go into water and anywhere. There is no argument about this. But first come to the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and confess all your sins. Denounce your membership of the secret societies and become truly repentant. Go three times into the water for baptism, when you come out, you will see a remarkable difference in yourself. Do not begin to contemplate in your heart saying, "I had already been baptized in the church where I am a member. I am an Elder." When you were an Elder did you receive the Holy Spirit? You say, "I am a Reverend Gentleman," when you were made a Reverend, did you receive the power of the Holy Spirit? You claim you have established a church, when you established, did you ever receive the Holy Spirit? It is a covenant that a neighbor will not teach a neighbor saying, "know God." Every person, from smallest to the greatest, will know me." (Heb 8:10-11). Never enter into foolishness of
  • 75. trying to teach people to know God. Whenever God makes His covenant, He stamps and seals it. If you like to go to the Sun, or go to right or left, or anywhere there is only one way of salvation. That is, if you are not born of water and the Holy Spirit, you will never see God, you can perform nothing effectively without the Holy Spirit. You will never possess wisdom and you will be incapable of doing anything without the Holy Spirit. HE HAD SAID THAT UNLESS A PRECIOUS BLOOD WAS SHED, I WILL NOT COME BACK AND I WILL NEVER FORGIVE PEOPLE OF THEIR INIQUITIES. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST SAID, "IT IS EXPEDIENT THAT I GO AWAY, FOR IF I GO NOT AWAY, THE COMFORTER WILL NOT COME, BUT IF I GO, I WILL SEND HIM UNTO YOU." (JOHN 16:7). GOD HAS NEVER DISAPPOINTED ANY PERSON; AND HE WILL NEVER DISAPPOINT ANY PERSON. At one time He said if a seed of corn does not fall on the ground it will remain alone. (John 12:24). BUT AFTER IT HAD DIED, IT GERMINATES AND BRINGS SO MANY FRUITS.
  • 76. HAVE YOU NOT REALIZED THIS? HAVE YOU NOT REALIZED HOW THE DEATH OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS YIELDED SO MANY FRUITS UNTO THE WORLD? That is why, in spite of the long stay of the disciples with Our Lord Jesus Christ, they could not understand Him. Because they were not endowed with the power of the Holy Spirit. From time to time they requested to increase their faith. But our Lord Jesus told them that He would not do anything until He was absolutely veiled with power. In a state of anxiety one day, Philip said, "Lord show us the Father then we shall be satisfied." (John 14:8). This is because they often took pleasure in hearing Our Lord Jesus Christ referring to all his performances to the Father. He would continually say the Father did this, the Father did that. They were confounded, and curiously would like to see and know that Father. But they would not see Him because flesh and blood cannot see Him. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
  • 77. IT IS THE IGNORANCE OF THIS WORD OF GOD THAT PLUNGES THE WHOLE WORLD INTO DIFFICULTY AND TRIBULATION. GOD IS TRUE AND HIS WORDS ARE TRUE. Hebrews 8:10-11 "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." Brethren, this is briefly what we are going to reveal to you this morning. It is going to be a very short gospel. But it is a gospel for the Thomases. It is for those who continue doubting the Almighty God. It is also for those who continue to say that God is not in existence.
  • 78. I want you and all the inhabitants of this world to desist from argument but urgently get into practicing the word of God for this is the time. Any person who denies Our Lord Jesus Christ; and refuses to adhere to the practice of His teachings, will have himself to blame. He who also says that God has not yet come is existing in delusion. Besides, he is a child of perdition. He who also says that there is no Holy Spirit in existence heads toward destruction. It is incumbent on all the inhabitants of the world that they should practice this gospel. If you are unable to practice any other word of God, make sure you practice this very one. It is the ignorance of this word of God that plunges the whole world into difficulty and tribulation. God is true and His words are true. God is not like a human being. Once He has spoken, His words must come to manifestation. It is the promise He has made from the beginning of time. The creations of God cannot know God. The reason very many people fall apart and exist in
  • 79. delusion about God is that they are living in flesh and blood. This is why it is necessary that this gospel must be sent to the four corners of the world, so that no person will have anything with which to defend himself. Knowledge cannot compel any person to know God. High education is not a means through which anyone can know God. There is no secret society which will educate you on the knowledge of God. No necromancer can know God. There is only one sure way to the knowledge of God. That is, you have to confess all sins, you have to denounce all the evil deeds you have been committing. You have to become truly contrite and repentant and then get baptism by immersion. After this you will receive the Holy Spirit as a gift. Go and announce this to churches to conform to the practices of the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. Tell them to be contrite of their vices. That they should refrain from fornication and adultery, from preparation of juju; and they
  • 80. should love one another. If not, they will not receive the Holy Spirit as the gift of God. At any moment in time, let any person confess, and not continue in his sins and also be baptized, he will receive the Holy Spirit as a gift. If a person does not accept this, allow him to go his own way. Do not childishly discuss with him. For if you do not have this Holy Spirit, you cannot know Him. You cannot conceive that He is in existence. In the past people thought money could be used as an instrument through which they could get nearer to God. They glorify their high educational qualification. People boast over exalted positions in life. But today, the wind of change has blown and created phenomenal changes in the world to make the Holy Spirit the only issue for boasting. The Governments in the world also fail because they do not possess the operative virtues of the Holy Spirit. The churches also fail because they do not possess nor believe in the Holy Spirit.
  • 81. All companies, firms and corporations in the world fail because they neither possess nor believe in the Holy Spirit. All institutions of learning have failed because they have not believed in the Holy Spirit, and do not have the Holy Spirit. Indeed, traders, farmers and people in all walks of life, fail because they do not believe in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is that cornerstone rejected by the builders, which has become head of the corner and is esteemed as a wonderful thing. (Mark 12:10). Any person without the Holy Spirit is eternally dead. Indeed, possession of the Holy Spirit does not consist of running the race but depends on the mercy of God. It was the eternal covenant with the house of Israel. He said this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days. (Heb 8:10). We are those children of God, the beneficiaries of this promise. It is a surprising thing to people, if you tell them that you have seen God face to face; that you have seen our Lord Jesus Christ and you have also seen the Holy Spirit. Indeed they will
  • 82. burst into laughter. But heaven and earth, will pass away until everything is consummated. (Matt 24:35/Mark 13:31). Are these words not fulfilled in your midst today? BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU …………………………………………………………………………… ALL SHALL COME UNDER ONE FLOCK, AND THERE SHALL BE ONLY ONE SHEPHERD THE MOST IMPORTANT ASSIGNMENT **THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO GO INTO THE WORLD AND INFORM THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT ME AND BCS, TELL THEM THE TEACHINGS IN THIS KINGDOM. ALL THE PROBLEMS AND TRIBULATIONS YOU HEARD FROM ALL THE NATIONS ARE BECAUSE THEY HAVE OF THEIR REFUSAL TO SURRENDER AND RECOGNIZE THE PRESENCE OF GOD ON EARTH. IT IS YOUR DUTY TO GO THERE AND TELL THEM ABOUT THESE TEACHINGS. DO NOT TELL SOMEBODY TO COME TO BCS, FOR EVERYBODY IS A MEMBER OF BCS.
  • 83. The time is very short. GOING ON EVANGELICAL TOURS IN AND AROUND YOUR LOCALITIES WITH ONLY YOUR GROUP MEMBERS IS MEANINGLESS. YOU ARE TO GO WHERE THIS GOSPEL OF TRUTH IS NOT HEARD YET AND SPREAD THE TRUTH TO THE PEOPLE, TELLING THEM TO BE BAPTIZED AND HAVE THEIR PROBLEMS SOLVED AND THEIR SUPPLICATIONS ANSWERED. TELL THE WORLD ABOUT THE GLORY OF GOD ON EARTH. *** BAPTISM HAS A DEEPER MEANING AND EXPLANATION THAN HOW YOU HAVE TURNED IT TO BE. BAPTISM IN OTHER WORDS MEANS THAT ONCE YOU BELIEVE AND YOU ARE BAPTIZED YOU WILL BE SAVED. I know you cannot go to the big personalities in the world and tell them to denounce their membership in the secret societies and follow God. IT IS ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO CAN CHANGE THEM. If you are in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and you still indulge yourself in secret societies, know that you have no place in this kingdom.
  • 84. You have heard the testimony of one of my sons this morning, (March 1st. 1992). He is a member of a State House of Assembly. He does not have any protection for himself, as is expected of someone in the corridors of power would want to do. He has surrendered all his entire life to God to protect him. I have told you that Spain, and China, Japan and several other countries of the world have not heard about Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and the teaching of God. But you are still moving around the country, claiming to do the Father's work-WHEN THESE GOSPELS HAVE NOT REACHED THESE PLACES. GO TO THESE PLACES AND TELL THEM ABOUT THIS GOD AND THE KINGDOM. IT IS NOT THAT SOME OF THESE COUNTRIES HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS KINGDOM AND THE TEACHINGS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, BUT THEY NEED SOMEBODY TO EXPLAIN TO THEM BETTER AND PUT THEM RIGHT. SOME OF YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT THE POURING OF LIBATION IS AGAINST THE INJUNCTION OF GOD. When a child is given
  • 85. birth to or when someone dies, these rites would be performed to appease the earth goddess. ALL THESE SUPERSTITIONS ARE NOT IN CONFORMITY WITH THE DOCTRINES OF GOD AND BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR. IN BCS, THE MOMENT ONE GIVES BIRTH TO A CHILD OR GOES ON A SPIRITUAL TRANSFER, (I.E. DIES), ALL WE NEED TO DO IS TO REJOICE AND CELEBRATE A LOVE FEAST. THE FOOD OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, MEEKNESS, MERCY, PATIENCE, AND REFRAINING FROM ALL MANNERS OF SIN, WHILE FOOD OF THE FLESH IS TEA, YAM, RICE, GARI, ETC. WHY THE WORLD GOVERNMENTS HAVE FALLEN IS BECAUSE EVERYBODY THINKS ONLY ABOUT HOW TO HAVE MONEY AND ALL THE THINGS OF WORLD. BECAUSE OF WORLDLY THINGS YOU HAVE FORSAKEN SPIRITUAL POWER. THINGS CAN NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN IN THE WORLD. During the era of Our Lord Jesus Christ, He appointed some people to take charge of
  • 86. spiritual aspects, while others were assigned to other necessities of life. If you do not have the Holy Spirit, you cannot preach the gospel. Those who have the Holy Spirit in them are those assigned with the spiritual aspects of God. *** IT IS ONLY BCS MEMBERS, THE WORLD OVER WHO ARE COMMISSIONED WITH THE MANDATE TO GO TO ALL THE CORNERS OF THE WORLD AND SPREAD THESE GOOD TEACHINGS OF GOD. THOSE WHO WILL BELIEVE AND GET BAPTIZED WILL RECEIVE THE SALVATION OF GOD. IT IS NOT BY FIGHTING AND QUARRELING AND BY KILLING ONE ANOTHER. GO OUT AND SPREAD THE TEACHINGS OF GOD. TELL THEM TO BELIEVE AND GET BAPTIZED AND FREE THEMSELVES FROM THE WRATH OF GOD. To preach to someone who has the Holy Spirit but is not baptized, is like pouring water on the back of a hen or giving a blind man a mirror to look at himself.
  • 87. GO TO THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL OF GOD. YOU ARE NOT TOLD TO GO AND TELL SOMEONE TO LEAVE HIS CHURCH. RATHER YOU ARE TOLD TO PREACH THE GOSPEL, THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND GET BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED. FOR YOU TO GO AND PREACH TO SOME PEOPLE TO LEAVE THEIR CHURCHES, WHEN IN THE TRUE PERSPECTIVE, ALL THEIR LIVES AND MEANS OF LIVELIHOOD ARE DEPENDENT ON THE CHURCHES, THEY WILL NOT MIND YOU OR TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY. ***THERE IS NO CHURCH IN THE WHOLE WORLD WHICH PERFORMS BAPTISM THE RIGHT WAY, EXCEPT BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR. *THERE IS NO PROBLEM IF SOMEBODY IS A BISHOP, HIS STATUS NOT WITHSTANDING; WHEREVER HE MAY BELONG, IF HE BELIEVES AND ACCEPTS BAPTISM, IT IS GOOD FOR HIM. IF NOT, LEAVE HIM TO REMAIN WHERE HE IS. DO NOT TELL PEOPLE TO COME TO BCS, BECAUSE MANY OF THEM CANNOT PREACH
  • 88. THE GOSPEL OF GOD. WHY DO YOU WANT HIM TO COME TO BCS WHEN HE CANNOT PREACH. I HAVE TOLD YOU THAT MANY OF THE BISHOPS HAVE COME HERE INTO BCS AND MANY OF THEM RECEIVED BAPTISM ONLY TO GO BACK TO THEIR DENOMINATIONS TO PERFORM THEIR DUTIES JUST FOR THE PURPOSE OF KEEPING BODY AND SOUL TOGETHER. What is going on in various churches is like the work of a civil servant, where at the end of every month, salary or wages are paid to them. If you are not born of water and spirit, you cannot see visions, dream dreams, nor preach the gospel of God because you are not of the Holy Spirit. Already, trouble has begun in their various churches and they are beginning to worry that their members have scattered. They no more have large multitude of followers. BUT UNKNOWN TO THEM IS THE FACT THAT IT IS IN FULFILLMENT OF THE TIME THAT ALL SHALL COME UNDER ONE FLOCK, AND THERE
  • 89. SHALL BE ONLY ONE SHEPHERD(John 10:16). THIS IS EXACTLY THE STAGE WE HAVE ARRIVED AT. PAY YOUR TITHES AND GIVE ALMS TO THE POOR. IF YOU ARE CONFRONTED WITH ANY PROBLEMS, KNOCK YOUR HEAD ON THE GROUND AND CALL ON THE FATHER. (1 CORINTHIANS 3:13). ***THOSE WHO REFUSE BAPTISM ARE THOSE WHO ARE STILL BEGRUDGING PEOPLE, THOSE WHO STEAL AND INDULGE IN SECRET SOCIETIES. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU …………………………………………………………………………… THE ONE AND INDIVISIBLE GLORY Beloved, this is the message we have for you. I have always asked the Christ's students, Christ servants, ordained ones, and indeed the entire brethren to always be around to receive the farewell message, so that they could get it directly from the horse's mouth. DO NOT WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO. I WANT YOU TO GET THESE WORDS DIRECT
  • 90. FROM ME. I ALSO SAID THE KING OF KINGS AND QUEEN MOTHER SHOULD BE IN ATTENDANCE DURING THE FAREWELL SESSION. THERE EXIST ONLY ONE GLORY. THIS GREAT AND INDIVISIBLE GLORY IS MEANT FOR ONLY THE ALMIGHTY GOD AND HIS SERVANTS. The rest of other people are placed in positions of responsibility by this one God and Father. And these people no matter their status, stature, race and tongue are subject to the power that has placed them in such positions; AND IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU RESPECT THE GREATEST BEING THAT HAS KEPT THEM WHERE THEY ARE. WHOEVER THEREFORE DISREGARDS OR DISOBEYS THEM, DIRECTLY CHALLENGES GOD, AND SUCH A PERSON SHALL FACE THE WRATH OF GOD. YOUR ACT OF DISOBEDIENCE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SUFFERING TODAY. IT IS ALSO DUE TO YOUR FAILURE TO HONOR THE PRESENCE AND AUTHORITY OF GOD IN MAN. YOU DO NOT HAVE RESPECT FOR ONE ANOTHER. DO YOU NOT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WHENEVER YOU RESPECT MAN YOU ARE DOING SO TO GOD?
  • 91. Clearly if you love one another, you have loved God and if you are truthful to one another, you are equally being truthful to God. Whatever belongs to the Father also belongs to the Son. Everybody is therefore enjoined to humble himself so as to carry out the instructions issued out by the ones that God has placed in positions of authority. By so doing, you will receive many blessings from God. If you adhere to these instructions by respecting those in authority and also endeavor to practice righteousness, then would Brotherhood be recognized. Note that if Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is recognized, it would invariably mean that you are equally recognized. The reason being that whatever honor and glory are accorded Brotherhood of the Cross and Star the same which extends to you as well. Also, know that until Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is fully glorified, you cannot have full glory. WHEN GOD IS GLORIFIED THE SON IS ALSO GLORIFIED So, is it not incumbent on you to magnify the
  • 92. glory of God so that consequently you will also be glorified? Anybody who serves God is glorified alongside God. This is in conformity with what the Bible affirms that; whoever believes in the Son invariably believes in the Father who had sent Him. THEREFORE, FROM NOW, IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNNECESSARY TO PLEAD WITH THE KING OF KINGS OR THE HOLY QUEEN MOTHER TO TAKE YOU TO THE FATHER. DO NOT ALSO SEEK TO HAVE AUDIENCE WITH THE KING OF KINGS OR HOLY QUEEN MOTHER. YOU SHOULD DESIST FROM SEEKING TO BE TAKEN TO ANY PERSONALITY IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR TO DEMAND FOR ONE FAVOR OR THE OTHER. Do not involve in backbiting, gossiping, mourning, murmuring and other acts capable of causing discrimination or segregation in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, for the entire world has been united into one indivisible fold. WHAT IS REQUIRED OF YOU IS EXHIBITION OF ABSOLUTE FAITH IN GOD THE FATHER. DO
  • 93. OBEY HIS INJUNCTIONS AND ABIDE STRICTLY BY HIS WORDS. YOUR POST AS A ROYAL HIGHNESS, BISHOP, PASTOR, APOSTLE, CHRIST'S STUDENT OR SERVANT, DEACONESS OR CHILD OF GOD DOES NOT MATTER; WHAT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DO IS TO OBEY GOD'S WORD. YOU MUST ALWAYS HAVE IMPLICIT FAITH IN HIS WORD. ALSO YOU HAVE TO OBEY ALL CONSTITUTED AUTHORITIES. THOSE OF YOU IN THE KINGDOM HAVE TO HONOR AND RESPECT ONE ANOTHER. DO HUMBLE YOURSELF SINCE YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALL THE MESSENGERS OF GOD IN HIS KINGDOM. REMEMBER THAT AS GOD IS REVEALED SO ALSO ARE YOU REVEALED. ALSO, AS HE IS GLORIFIED, THE GLORY ALSO EXTENDS TO YOU, IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. AMEN.

  • 94. FATHER. HAVE YOU SHOWN ANY APPRECIATION FOR THIS MARVELOUS AUGUST PENTECOSTAL ASSEMBLY? You should know that our Lord Jesus Christ received His baptism in the River Jordan in the month of August. It was also in this memorable month of August (8/8/1958) that the members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star marched in white garment from No. 8 Eton Street to No. 26 Mbukpa Road all in Calabar metropolis. August is a month of great significance, so we are not only commemorating the historic exodus of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star from No. 8 Eton Street to No 26 Mbukpa Road, but we are also celebrating because it is the month of Christ's revelation. August was the month that our Lord -Jesus Christ was revealed for being so humble that He had to go to John the Baptist for baptism by immersion. Before His baptism, Christ had no disciples. It was after His baptism and revelation that He began to have disciples. Recall what God said about our Lord Jesus Christ that; "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Matthew 3:
  • 95. 17. A lot of great and significant events take place in the month of August. Professor Assasu Inyang Ibom's first book was read in the Kingdom in August; the bishops were appointed and ordained in August. Do not doubt the importance of the month of August. Everybody has to appreciate God's kindness to mankind in whatever he does in life. It is through these deeds that salvation is extended to the entire world, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. THIS IS A VERY LUCKY GENERATION; HENCE, ALL PEOPLE SHOULD GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR THE ENORMOUS GOODNESS HE HAS SHOWN TO US. This is God's Kingdom and not the kingdom of the world. In this Kingdom, people are not mandated or forced to carry out certain duties or order. RATHER THEY ARE ALLOWED TO LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT AND ADHERE TO WHAT THEY ARE DIRECTED SPIRITUALLY. THAT IS WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS "SHOW LOVE" OR "FREE-WILL OFFERING". BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
  • 97. GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT I am asking you: if the whole world is Brotherhood, and you are not satisfied in the place you are kept what then will be your gain? You know that the church dignitaries have got everything. All the heads of church denominations you find around are very wealthy. But what is their gain? What do they gain from wealth, as long as you are not satisfied with your position? The first important thing is that godliness with contentment is great gain. Apart from that you are heading for destruction. The churches built hospitals, trained nurses, trained sisters and mothers, they are famous and popular but what is their gain? Is that what they were sent to do? The children of God, I have to emphasize, have no dwelling houses. They have neither a country, nor town, nor community. No person knows from where they have come. No person knows to where they are going. Our Lord Jesus Christ is here on earth. Sister Clover, in the year 1958, saw Our Lord Jesus Christ physically at No. 8, Eton Street. She saw Him with the twelve disciples but could not know their faces. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

And for that reason, we the members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star celebrate the April Pentecostal. It was meant to enable us to be able to offset our indebtedness to our Lord Jesus Christ. We have to
  • 100. continually celebrate throughout our life time. DEMONSTRATE YOUR APPRECIATION TO CHRIST Nothing contributed by anyone will be too much. If you present gifts to the Father during these different significant periods (APRIL/EASTER,AUGUST, DECEMBER) that is THE THREE PENTECOSTAL PERIODS, your ways would be opened. Mark you, this show of appreciation has nothing to do with your regular tithe remitted to God. Everybody is free to erect structures, buy cars, ships, aircrafts, and clothes and donate money to the Kingdom. If I may ask; have you ever donated generously in appreciation of what God has blessed you with? You are supposed to give cheerfully and from your freewill. LAVISH BLESSINGS FOR YOU Henceforth, all those who have come here with various kinds of sicknesses, court cases with the police, such problems have been brought under the control of the Father. The Father has paved the way for those who are in lack and groaning in poverty; they shall no longer be in poverty. The barren have been blessed with children and the unemployed have been given jobs. MORESO, THE FATHER HAS RESTORED PEACE TO ALL AND SUNDRY, AND THE WORD OF GOD HAS BEEN SPREAD TO ALL PLANES,
  • 101. PLANETS AND OTHER REALMS OF MANIFEST. All those who have backslidden have been brought back by the Father. ALSO, GOD HAS GIVEN TO ALL WHO PREVIOUSLY DID NOT WANT TO DO THE WORK OF GOD, THE ABILITY TO NOW SERVE HIM. THOSE WHO CLAIM IGNORANCE OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR HAVE NOW BEEN MADE TO KNOW THE MEANING AND THE FATHER HAS LAVISHLY REVEALED HIMSELF TO THEM. EVERYTHING BELONGS TO THE FATHER: You should know that man, animal birds fishes, trees, grasses, rivers the air, and all things created and uncreated; things corporeal and incorporeal all constitute Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. There is nothing visible or invisible that does not belong to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. This is the time when everybody should come together to celebrate the presence of the Everlasting Father. Brotherhood cannot be seen in the flesh, you can only see Her in the Spirit. If you are in the spirit, you would see Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. USING THE TELEPHONE NUMBER: ALL OF YOU ARE AWARE OF MY TELEPHONE NUMBER, WHICH IS "O.O.O." WHENEVER AND WHEREVER YOU MAY BE, IF YOU WANT TO DIAL THE FATHER, WHAT YOU MERELY HAVE TO DO IS,
  • 102. KNOCK YOUR HEAD ON THE GROUND AND CALL HIM USING THIS NUMBER AND HE WILL IMMEDIATELY ANSWER YOU. DO NOT FORGET THAT, IT IS HIS NAME THAT WE WOULD USE TO DO ALL THINGS. ACCORDINGLY, ALL YOUR HARD-LUCK, MISFORTUNES AND DIVERSE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ERADICATED THROUGH HIS GREAT NAME O.O.O. I REITERATE, DIAL THIS NUMBER "O.O.O. " WHENEVER IN DIFFICULTIES AND YOU WILL INSTANTLY BE ANSWERED. YOU HAVE BEEN COMMISSIONED You have now been commissioned to go two by two into all houses, homes, schools, markets, hospitals, offices and countries to disseminate the word of God. You are enjoined to disclose to all those you meet during your evangelism: the significance of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star or what the Kingdom entails. Also reveal to them the futility of fighting and killing of one another. They should be asked to allow love to prevail. Do not forget to tell them that those who believe and are baptized are saved. All of you should make peace with your adversaries; do not impute sin to one another. Endeavor to appreciate God's favor to you.
  • 103. THE REASON WHY THIS KINGDOM WAS GIVEN TO ABRAHAM WAS BECAUSE OF HIS THANKFUL HEART. SO, YOU SHOULD ALSO SHOW THANKFULNESS TO GOD. DURING THESE PENTECOSTAL CELEBRATION PERIODS, NOBODY SHOULD CLAIM SUPERIORITY OVER OTHERS; THIS IS BECAUSE IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR THERE IS NO BIG OR SMALL; EQUALITY ALONE REIGNS, WE ARE ALL ONE. GREATEST ADVICE: EACH PERSON IS ADVISED TO HOLD FAST HIS POSITION IN THIS KINGDOM BECAUSE THE RATE OF INFLUX OF PEOPLE IN THE FOLD WILL BE AMAZING TO EVERYBODY. THERE WILL BE A GREAT RUSH FOR BAPTISM. SO IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR FEET FIRMLY ROOTED IN THE KINGDOM, YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED TO FIND YOURSELF WHERE YOU LEAST EXPECTED. You are admonished to work hard and always adhere to the injunctions of God. THE HOLY FATHER HAS BLESSED YOU ABUNDANTLY, AND HE IS BEFORE AND BEHIND YOU; THOUGH WE ARE NOT WORTHY TO RECEIVE ALL THESE BLESSINGS. HOWEVER GOD'S SALVATION HAS COME TO US BY GRACE; THAT WAS THE PROMISE HE GAVE TO ABRAHAM. THIS ACT OF BLESSING YOU IS A MERE FORMALITY, FOR HE HAD ALREADY WILLINGLY AND
