GOD IS LIGHT
THE ONLY HOPE FOR MAN :
Recall that when Moses moulded a serpent and hung it on a
tree for the people to look upon whenever they were bitten
by the deadly snakes, it was only those who obeyed that
were saved and those who did not were destroyed.
THEREFORE, IN THIS PRESENT AGE, OF THE MULTITUDE
OF PEOPLE WHO WILL LISTEN TO THIS GOSPEL AND
COMPLY WITH IT ARE SAVED AND THE LIGHT OF GOD
SHALL SHINE UPON THEM.
WHEREVER YOUR TREASURE IS, THERE LIES YOUR MIND.
IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT YOUR DAILY SUBJECT OF
DISCUSSION AND INTEREST REST ON MONEY, JUJU,
CHARMS, WOMEN, POLITICS, CARS, CLOTHING, FOOD, AND
2. OTHER MATERIAL THINGS. HOW THEN WILL GOD BE
PLEASED?

3. BIBLE WITNESS:
GOD IS LIGHT
JOHN 12:28-36
Joh 12:28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice
from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify
it again.
Joh 12:29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it,
said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
Joh 12:30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not
because of me, but for your sakes.
Joh 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the
prince of this world be cast out.
Joh 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all
men unto me.
Joh 12:33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
Joh 12:34 The people answered him, We have heard out of
the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou,
The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
Joh 12:35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is
the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest
darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness
knoweth not whither he goeth.
4. Joh 12:36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye
may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and
departed, and did hide himself from them.
………………………………………………………………………………….
JOHN 1:4-10
1Jn 1:4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy
may be full.
1Jn 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of
him, and declare unto you, THAT GOD IS LIGHT, and
in him is no darkness at all.
1Jn 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and
walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
1Jn 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we
have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus
Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive
ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
1Jn 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a
liar, and his word is not in us.

JOHN 8: 12
Joh 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am
the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in
darkness, but shall have the light of life.
………………………………………………………………………………………
JOHN 9:1-5
Joh 9:1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was
blind from his birth.
Joh 9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who
did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Joh 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor
his parents: but that the works of God should be made
manifest in him.
Joh 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it
is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
Joh 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the
world.
………………………………………………………………………………………
JOHN 12: 37-50
6. Joh 12:37 But though he had done so many miracles before
them, yet they believed not on him:
Joh 12:38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be
fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our
report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been
revealed?
Joh 12:39 Therefore they could not believe, because that
Esaias said again,
Joh 12:40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their
heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor
understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should
heal them.
Joh 12:41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory,
and spake of him.
Joh 12:42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many
believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not
confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
Joh 12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the
praise of God.
Joh 12:44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me,
believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
Joh 12:45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
Joh 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever
believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
7. Joh 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I
judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save
the world.
Joh 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my
words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have
spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
Joh 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father
which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should
say, and what I should speak.
Joh 12:50 And I know that his commandment is life
everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the
Father said unto me, so I speak.

PHOTOGRAPHS:
People argue that Our Lord Jesus Christ was a mobile
preacher compared to the Father. EVEN IF YOU KEEP THE
PORTRAIT OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IN YOUR HOUSE
AND YOU KEEP WATCHING OR OBSERVING IT ALL THE
TIME, IT WILL NEVER AVAIL YOU ANY GOOD. THIS IS THE
ERA OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. He has come as a quickening
spirit and no one is known in the flesh again, but in spirit.
When the people of old heard that Elijah was coming
again, they kept his portrait in their homes so that they
could identify him when he arrived. Did Elijah not come
ultimately? And did they know him?
8. The Holy Spirit has come, taking complete control of
the affairs of men on earth and those in heaven. He is the
one responsible of all the events in the world today. The
fact is that He is not to be known in the flesh, but in the
spirit. Whether a man is black, white or red, no man is
known in the flesh any longer, but even as Our Lord Jesus
Christ was seen, so is the Holy Spirit.
Our Lord Jesus Christ said,"Yet a little while and the
world sees me no more, but ye see me: because I live, ye
shall live also." One cannot known God, Christ or the
children of God in the flesh. He has come like a thief in the
night and has taken the world unawares.
God sent Prophets like Elijah, Samuel, John, and even
Christ to the world but they were persecuted and killed. HE
HAS COME BY HIMSELF DARING ALL MEN. ALL THE
MAGICIANS, SCIENTIST, TECHNOCRATS AND
PHILOSOPHERS ARE DUMBFOUNDED AND BLINDFOLDED.
THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME AND MEN ARE SAYING THAT
NEVER AT ANY TIME HAS THE SPIRIT BEEN SEEN. IF A
MAN CANNOT SEE THE SPIRIT, WHAT IS IT THAT HE CAN
SEE?

PHOTOGRAPHS
*THE ONLY PHOTOGRAPH THAT IS REQUIRED HERE IS
LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
*HIS PHOTOGRAPH SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THOSE WHO
HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE SO THEY CAN SEE WHAT
HE LOOKS LIKE.
YOU HAVE SEEN THE LEADER WITH YOUR NAKED EYES
AND HAVE TOUCHED AND FELT HIM. WHAT AGAIN DO YOU
DO WITH THE FATHER'S PHOTOGRAPH? HIS PHOTOGRAPH
SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM
BEFORE SO THEY CAN SEE WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.
Your duty is to get into the world and preach and
practice the word of God. What do you do with holy oil? You
have been given power in heaven and on earth to say, "let,"
and death, sickness, or any other form of infirmities
disappear. THE HOLY OIL IS MEANT TO BE USED ON THOSE
WHO ARE OUTSIDE, AND THEY NEED YOUR HELP. In
Brotherhood we do not count beads like Muslims, neither do
we worship the Roman Catholic way. We are different from
the rest of them and we have very special ways of doing our
things. That woman in Enugu who claims to be the mother of
Jesus or the Holy Father is telling lies. In fact she is not
known as a Brotherhood member and therefore she has
nothing to do with Brotherhood. We do not require any other
10. photograph, THE ONLY PHOTOGRAPH THAT IS REQUIRED
HERE IS LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
THE REASON WHY THE USE OF THE FATHER'S
PHOTOGRAPH IS NOT WANTED IS THAT ROGUES AND
SWINDLERS USE IT TO DECEIVE PEOPLE. A NON-BROTHERHOOD
CAN BUY ONE AND KEEP IN HIS HOUSE
AND WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT BROTHERHOOD HE
PROMPTLY REMOVES IT FROM HIS SHELF AND TELLS YOU
HE IS A BROTHERHOOD MEMBER AND KNOWS THE FATHER
VERY WELL. Even some people who came here and got
baptized and procured all the necessary baptismal
membership card, etc. ARE NOT TRUE BROTHERHOOD
MEMBERS. They do these things so that their dubious
intentions may be enhanced. A GREAT MANY PEOPLE SEW
THEIR WHITE AND WEAR AND MOVE ABOUT CLAIMING TO
BE BROTHERHOOD MEMBERS. THEY ARE IN THE GROUP OF
DECEIVERS.
Henceforth, the injunction I have given shall continue to
prevail: before anybody is baptized, he has to confess his or
her sins in the first place and then denounce membership of
every secret or traditional society he or she had belonged
to. He also has to discard all his charms in his possession.
Today what happens is that immediately someone comes
around, even without confessing his sins, he gets baptized,
with all his charms and talisman all over his body. When you
immerse that kind of a person into the water, is he baptized
in the real sense and meaning of the exercise? You
11. persuade people to get baptized so that their problems will
be solved.

HIGHLIGHTS:
*MANY OF YOU THINK WHEN YOU COME HERE AND SING
THAT “0. 0. 0. IS GOD,” I WILL BE HAPPY WITH YOU.
OTHERS THINK IF YOU TAKE MY PHOTOGRAPH, ENLARGE
AND FRAME IT SO WELL, AND KISS OR WORSHIP IT, I WILL
BE DELIGHTED. THIS IS ERRONEOUS. THIS IS NOT
WORSHIPING GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. ALL GOD
WANTS IS: HEARING AND PUTTING HIS WORD INTO
PRACTICE, AND THAT IS, LOVING ONE ANOTHER.
* The food for the Spiritual Council of Churches and the
whole world is the lesson just read to you. I am happy that
your hearts, eyes and ears are wide open to receive this
lesson; GOD IS NOT A CAR, MONEY, HUMAN BEING, FISH,
12. HE IS NOT THUNDER, NEITHER RAIN NOR SUN. But GOD IS
THE WORD AND THOSE WHO WORSHIP HIM MUST DO SO BY
PRACTICING HIS WORD. ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE WORD OF
GOD AND PUT IT INTO PRACTICE.
* Any person who does what he likes, wants his own glory,
but if you do what you are sent to do, you seek the glory of
him that sent you.( JOHN 5:30) . So if you want to worship
God, put His words into practice. Obey whatever He tells
you to do. FOR EXAMPLE: REFRAINING FROM EATING FISH
AND MEAT CERTAINLY IMPLIES WORSHIPING GOD IN
SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.
* WASHING OR BATHING IN THE BIAKPAN WATER,
DANCING WITH BANNERS AND CANDLES ARE SERVING THE
FLESH.
* ALL THAT IS REQUIRED WAS PRACTICING THE WORD OF
GOD. THE FATHER IS NOT INTERESTED IN THE BUILDING
OF BETHELS AND FURNISHING THEM WITH EXPENSIVE
PEWS. ALL GOD WANTS IS THAT WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER..
*.. Many of you here worship the dead. You spend huge sums
of money you should have spent on the poor, and be blessed
by God, on burial ceremonies. When a person is dead, he or
she is gone. Why do you spend money on the dead? Leave
the dead to bury the dead..
THE FATHER'S ADVICE
13. No suggestions from anybody: The Father has to bring out
suggestions and directives and not you yourselves.
Whatever the Father brings is good, but whatever you bring
out is counterfeit. You should try not to instruct the Father.
Our spiritual food comes from John 4:24: "God is a Spirit,
and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in
Truth."
The food for the Spiritual Council of Churches and the whole
world is the lesson just read to you. I am happy that your
hearts, eyes and ears are wide open to receive this lesson;
GOD IS NOT A CAR, MONEY, HUMAN BEING, FISH, HE IS
NOT THUNDER, NEITHER RAIN NOR SUN. But GOD IS THE
WORD AND THOSE WHO WORSHIP HIM MUST DO SO BY
PRACTICING HIS WORD. ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE WORD OF
GOD AND PUT IT INTO PRACTICE.
Pastor Ekon said he had an important issue, that is settling
Pastor Kifi's hospital bill. And I ask, is that an important
issue? The Father, has been preaching that we should have
mercy on others. What then do you discuss in your meetings
here in Ambo, and in other places? So, those who love God
and worship Him do not make noise. They execute things
without waiting for meetings to be convened. The theme of
the gospels of this kingdom is to LOVE ONE ANOTHER.. God
is the word and if you practice His word, you have honored
Him. Once you have one Brotherhood of the Cross and Star
pamphlet like "What is Brotherhood?" or "What is Cross?" or
"What is Star?" it covers all that you must know, and
14. practice, in order to be saved. When the Journalist visited
here from Lagos the other day, I gave him a copy of the
gospel on "What is Nigeria’s Ideology?" After going through
it, he said it covered a lot of topics, and I explained that if
Nigeria should practice LOVE, Nigeria would have no
problems. Any person who does what he likes, wants his
own glory, but if you do what you are sent to do, you seek
the glory of him that sent you.( JOHN 5:30) . So if you want
to worship God, put His words into practice. Obey whatever
He tells you to do. FOR EXAMPLE: REFRAINING FROM
EATING FISH AND MEAT CERTAINLY IMPLIES WORSHIPING
GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. Recall the statement of that
woman who said, "Blessed were the paps that Our Lord
Jesus Christ sucked and the womb that gave birth to Him."
Again, recall the reply our Lord gave. He said, "MORE
BLESSED IS THE PERSON WHO HEARS THE WORD OF GOD
AND PUTS IT INTO PRACTICE.”
*MANY OF YOU THINK WHEN YOU COME HERE AND SING
THAT “0. 0. 0. IS GOD,” I WILL BE HAPPY WITH YOU.
OTHERS THINK IF YOU TAKE MY PHOTOGRAPH, ENLARGE
AND FRAME IT SO WELL, AND KISS OR WORSHIP IT, I WILL
BE DELIGHTED. THIS IS ERRONEOUS. THIS IS NOT
WORSHIPING GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. ALL GOD
WANTS IS: HEARING AND PUTTING HIS WORD INTO
PRACTICE, AND THAT IS, LOVING ONE ANOTHER.
You are advised not to carry a burden that you cannot bear.
The pastors could not settle a fellow pastor's hospital bill
15. and yet God instructed that if you have two coats, you
should give one to the person who has none. Be your
brother's keeper. Do not bother yourself with taking pictures
and other useless things. This does not conform with what I
am teaching you. Your pre-occupation should be to “LOVE
ONE ANOTHER.” PRESENTLY, I HAVE NOT SEEN LOVE IN
YOU. YOU SHOULD NOT SHOW OFF YOUR MONEY BEFORE
ME, GO TO THOSE IN NEED BECAUSE THE FATHER HIMSELF
DOES NOT LACK. IT IS SAID IN THE SCRIPTURES, ''SO LONG
AS YOU DO THIS FOR THE LITTLE ONE OR THE POOR, YOU
HAVE DONE IT TO ME." (MATTHEW25:35-40). WASHING OR
BATHING IN THE BIAKPAN WATER, DANCING WITH
BANNERS AND CANDLES ARE SERVING THE FLESH. When
our Lord was tempted thus, "is it good to pay tribute to
Caesar or not?" He asked them to bring the coin and
demanded to know whose inscription was on it. When they
replied that it was Caesar’s He then instructed that they
should give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is
God's. The Father went on to say that we had been toiling,
decorating the 34 Ambo Hall, but that was for the flesh and
not for the spirit. ALL THAT IS REQUIRED WAS PRACTICING
THE WORD OF GOD. THE FATHER IS NOT INTERESTED IN
THE BUILDING OF BETHELS AND FURNISHING THEM WITH
EXPENSIVE PEWS. ALL GOD WANTS IS THAT WE LOVE ONE
ANOTHER.. Many of you here worship the dead. You spend
huge sums of money you should have spent on the poor, and
be blessed by God, on burial ceremonies. When a person is
16. dead, he or she is gone. Why do you spend money on the
dead? Leave the dead to bury the dead..
