CHRISTIAN SUPERNATURAL TEACHINGS, BIBLE CLASS LESSONS, GOSPELS BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU, THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER AND SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD, BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR
1. OOO
THE WORD CENTER
PRESENTS
THEM THAT SIN, REBUKE BEFORE ALL
* YOU CANNOT COMPARE MY WORK TO THE WORK OF ANY
OTHER PERSON IN THE WHOLE WORLD, BECAUSE THIS IS A
DIFFERENT WORLD ALTOGETHER; IT IS A NEW WORLD.
NONE OF YOU KNOWS WHAT IS IN THIS KINGDOM. IT IS
THE HOLY SPIRIT ALONE WHO IS AT WORK.
*YOU ARE TAUGHT THAT BROTHERHOOD NEITHER KEEPS
MOURNING HOUSES, NOR HOLDS MEMORIAL SERVICES,
NOR CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS. ALL THINGS ARE THE SAME
BUT WHY DO YOU ATTEND MEMORIAL SERVICES, KEEP
MOURNING HOUSES, AND COMMIT OTHER EVIL THINGS,
ARE YOU A LIAR?
* Brotherhood cannot agree with any evil tendency.
BECAUSE AS STATED IN THE FIRST STEP TO GOD, WE DO
NOT BEAT DRUMS, WE DO NOT BURN INCENSE, WE DO NOT
LIGHT CANDLES, WE DO NOT PERFORM THOSE CARNAL
2. DANCES, FOR THEY ARE DEMONIC THINGS. All the
celebrations they hold here and there, the propensity to
consume all kinds of liquor are not found in the teachings of
Brotherhood.
* THIS IS NOT A PLACE FOR ONE TO BE POMPOUS OR TO
EXERCISE ANY AUTHORITY. IMMEDIATELY YOU ARE
DRIVEN OUT OF THIS PLACE, THAT WILL MARK THE END OF
YOU. NO ELDER HAS A SAY HERE. A PROPHET HAS NO SAY.
NO CHRIST’S SERVANT HAS A SAY. NOBODY HAS A SAY.
NO ANGEL HAS A SAY. ARE YOU NOT FEARFUL OF SUCH A
THING?
* Immediately I give the go-ahead order, you all will be
driven out. I will not tell you directly to go away, but will
rather instruct them to direct you. THIEVES, FORNICATORS
AND DECEITFUL PERSONS WILL ALL BE DRIVEN OUT.
1st Lesson: 1 Timothy 5:20
"Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear."
2nd Lesson: John 7:7
"The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I
testify it, that the works thereof are evil. "
Golden Text: Galatians 2:14
"But when I saw that they worked not uprightly according to
the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, if
3. thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and
not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live
as the Jews?"
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is graded in stages. That
is my happiness. You have heard it read out to you that,
"Them that sin rebuke before all." That is the method I am
going to from now henceforth. If you commit any act of sin, I
will rebuke you openly before all. All the sins you commit;
telling of lies and fornication will cause me to openly drive
you away from this place.
Open Rebuke For Sin
You have been taught everything about Brotherhood. The
indwelling love here is made manifest to you. We do not
indulge in diabology, we do not fornicate, take to any form of
medication, hate other people, disgrace any person or live
abominable life. If you do not practice the injunctions, I have
to rebuke you. As that brother mentioned during his
testimony in the morning how some Christ’s Students
manhandled him, if I am made to know such Christ’s
Students, I will certainly drive them away not only from
studentship but from Brotherhood. I will no longer want to
set my eyes on them around here in 34 Ambo Street.
As at now, whether you are a Pastor or a Prophet or
whatever you are, if you commit any act of sin, I will rebuke
you. To rebuke you will mean dismissing you from here.
Some of you are here for fifteen years, some for twenty
4. years and you have been consistently instructed day in, day
out not to steal, or fornicate. My work is to rebuke all the
world. That is why people dislike Brotherhood. This is the
New Kingdom of God. Here, it is not expected that anyone
should quarrel, or steal, or fornicate, or take any form of
medication, or drink any form of liquor. I have rebuked you
and if you insist in doing them, I will expel you from this
Kingdom.
Those Who Persist in Sins Will Be Expelled
What I am saying is not an indoor affair. I will rebuke you
openly here so that others also may fear. I have taken
another step. Among the fellowships, I will ask people to
relinquish their posts because of not adhering to
instructions and not doing what they are expected to do. It
is expected that every person should follow this teaching
because it is the Kingdom of God, It is not a thing that one
should say that a person is ever learning but never reaching
the knowledge of the truth. I will expel all liars, all
fornicators, all those who indulge in diabology. When you are
expelled, I do not even want to see you set your feet on the
premises of 34 Ambo Street.
Brotherhood Is An Embodiment Of God’s Virtues
You have been told times without number, from January to
December every year and you are being preached to. I KEEP
TELLING YOU THAT YOU SHOULD NOT DRUM, OR LIGHT
CANDLES THAT THESE ARE MEDIA USED BY ELEMENTARY
5. SPIRITS. We are not dealing with elementary spirits. We are
concerned with love, truth, mercy, humility, meekness,
temperance, and joy. I have given you a long rope. Twenty
years, not twenty days; ten years and not ten days; five
years, not five days, one year, not one day. What you imbibe
during this period of time is enough to cause a change of
heart in you. Realize that wherever you are, and whatever
you do, lie bare before me.
Before The World Was Created Brotherhood Was Already In
Existence
Here, as you have heard, Brotherhood had existed when the
world was void and without form. When it was said, "Let us
make man in our own image" is an indication that
Brotherhood had existed before the foundations of the world
were laid. Brotherhood is not man-made, it is the Kingdom of
God. It is a conglomeration that has never come into being
on this plane of manifest since the inception of the world. It
is the Kingdom of God which we have always prayed to thus,
"Let thy Kingdom come". Thousand and one persons are
coming to testify in the same manner that the brother has
done this morning. Different caliber of people will come here
and surprise you with the kind of testimony they will give.
Evil Doers Will Be Expelled
If many of you here do not gird your loins, you will be driven
out by angels. Thieves, fornicators, heady and insubordinate
persons will be driven away by angels. Immediately I give
6. the go-ahead order, you all will be driven out. I will not tell
you directly to go away, but will rather instruct them to
direct you. THIEVES, FORNICATORS AND DECEITFUL
PERSONS WILL ALL BE DRIVEN OUT.
Since you have now been told this, if you find any person
along the way, whose behavior does not conform with this
way of truth, point out to him where his mistake is. One
thing is that, no Brotherhood member who is a thief or a
fornicator tells his brother what he does. If you have cause
to chat with him, he will tell you that all is well. Let all be
well yet with you! there is a local adage which says, “a bird
sings melodiously when it is not yet entrapped; when it is
trapped you will no longer hear its voice.” I have told you
times without number that I do not want a fornicator, a thief,
a person who indulges in the preparation of concoction, a
liar, a heady person or any kind of sinner. I do not want to
hear any such person in this Kingdom.
Brotherhood is Noah’s Ark
If you like, you can forsake sins because I keep telling you
to do so day after day. If you do not like, continue with them
and get ready to face the music. You will be driven
completely out of this kingdom. Where will you be because
this is Noah’s Ark. People are coming from North and South,
East and West to this kingdom. THIS IS NOT A PLACE FOR
ONE TO BE POMPOUS OR TO EXERCISE ANY AUTHORITY.
IMMEDIATELY YOU ARE DRIVEN OUT OF THIS PLACE, THAT
WILL MARK THE END OF YOU. NO ELDER HAS A SAY HERE.
7. A PROPHET HAS NO SAY. NO CHRIST’S SERVANT HAS A
SAY. NOBODY HAS A SAY. NO ANGEL HAS A SAY. ARE YOU
NOT FEARFUL OF SUCH A THING? This work is done neither
by man nor angel. It is neither done by a Prophet nor a
Pastor nor any person for that matter. Everything is done by
Jehovah God and His Christ. You will find out that it is the
angels who are sending out the call. This is the time that
sinners will be separated from righteous persons.
Brethren, the admonition that are given to you, should guide
you. If you come to Brotherhood and are beset with
problems, you are the cause. They come to you as a result of
your stubbornness. If you find yourself in such a state, know
that you are not a true Brotherhood. A Brotherhood member
does not get sick. You will not face any problems, you will
not have any accident. No misfortune can befall you.
Secret Societies Are Powerless
I allowed those strangers who were members of secret
societies to testify so that you will hear for yourself. You
have heard what one of them witnessed on getting to
Biakpan. His reference to angels points out to you that there
are billions and billions of angels who are working here in
Brotherhood. All the legions of angels are working here. This
explains why, when you write to any organization in
America, seeking for power, you will be referred to Calabar
because all the angels are here. Send a letter to India
seeking for power, you will be referred to Calabar. Send to it
to London, you will be referred to Calabar. What useful
8. purpose does it serve to indulge in charms and concoction?
The brother mentioned the millions of angels under their
command and how only one angel here whipped all their
angels. Does this not make it clear to you that all charms
and concoctions are powerless and to indulge in them
amounts to a waste of time?
Read The Publications And Practice The Injunctions
By right I should not stand out here again to speak. What am
I to say when all my work has been accomplished. You had
complained of not being taught by the church denominations
and I had to start from the scratch. That is why you have,
First Step To God, Second Step To God, What is
Brotherhood, and all other publications so that no person
will have any defense to put up. Go to the Brotherhood
Bookshop, buy, read and practise the injunctions. What
scares many people away from Brotherhood is lack of
practising The First Step To God. When you overlook it, you
have yourself been overlooked, and will accordingly be
thrown out.
I am exceedingly happy because those who have never been
here are now coming to tell you what obtains but you who
had been here for years now, still continue to steal and
fornicate, operate and operate with jaundiced impression
that Olumba does not see you. You are fighting and
struggling with the impression that Olumba does not see
you. But those who are outside the fold know that Olumba
has seen every person.
9. Rebuke Any Sin
Brethren, if you find a Brotherhood member who drinks,
show him his mistake because Brotherhood does not drink,
Any Brotherhood member who fornicates, tell him
Brotherhood does not fornicate. If you find any Brotherhood
member who goes to the hospital, tell the person that
Brotherhood does not go to the hospital. If one says he is a
Christian, a Moslem or a Hindu, show him his mistakes.
Point out to him that God does not want a person to behave
in such ways. The names are irrelevant. What God wants is
for us to lead a good life. This is the time for the revelation
of the glory of God.
What is the rationale behind your telling a person to forsake
fornication, preparation of concoction and exasperation
when you still indulge in these acts? Why do you preach to a
person to forsake sin when you still sin? I want you to
understand that our Lord Jesus Christ was hated for
showing the world its mistakes. He was the first person to
show man his mistakes. The world does not like anybody to
show them their mistakes. He was not hated for raising the
dead or for any other thing than that He showed them their
mistakes and rebuked them that man ought not to live in
such ways.
Abhor Idolatry
10. Brotherhood has not yet started in its full perspective. Love
one another is a primary qualifier to the secondary aspects.
There are such harder lessons as warring against
principalities and powers. You have heard about the offering
of sacrifices in different communities. No mater one’s
station in life, you will get into trouble with your community
if you refuse to sacrifice with them. If you do not
acknowledge the gods of the land with them by participating
in the sacrifice, they will consider you A REBEL. Even if
you give them money, or food, they will still insist that you
pour libation to the ghosts with them.
Flee Drunkenness
That is why we are looking for a city of our own. We have
nothing to do with libation or tradition. OUR ONLY
TRADITION IS TO PRACTISE THE WORD OF GOD. When
Brotherhood shall be clear to you, you will forsake all the
evils you have been committing because they constitute
hindrances to you. We do not drink and yet you are selling
drinks. Realize that it is said, woe to him who offers wine to
another, and yet you are selling and serving wine to people.
Tell me the wisdom in your action. Why do you give to other
people the food you do not eat? Why do you preach to others
that they should not drink while you do drink. We do not
drink and yet you plant and tap palm wine. What use do they
serve?
11. ANGELS ARE NUMBERLESS
Brethren, these are the obstacles in your ways. Angels are
here numbering in thousands. The population of this plane is
relatively small. Enoch first came to this realization when he
was translated. Angels are numerous. When the king of
Philistines warred against Israel, Elisha’s servant was afraid
on seeing the number of attacking soldiers. "And, Elisha
prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he
may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man;
and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses
and chariots of fire round about Elisha." When he saw this,
he bowed down and worshipped God.
Do Not Resist The Will Of God
If you read through Isaiah chapter thirty-seven, you will see
these things. When the King of Assyria sent a letter to King
Hezekiah that he would wage war against him, and also
over-run him; he had to stress that Hezekiah would be
overcome just as others in his neighbourhood had been
overcome by him. Hezekiah placed the letter before God and
prayers "Incline thine ear, O Lord, and hear, open thine eyes
O Lord and see and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which
hath sent to reproach the living God." Then God sent
Prophet Isaiah to tell Hezekiah concerning the Assyrian King
saying "He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow
there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank
12. against it. By the way that he came, by the same shall he
return, and shall not come into this city saith the Lord. For I
will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my
servant David’s sake." Do you know what happened next;
God sent forth only one angel; and the angel "smote in the
camp of the Assyrians a hundred and four-scores and five
thousand: and when they rose early in the morning, behold,
they were all dead corpses." The King of Assyria fled on
hearing this and dwelt at Nineveh. And it came to pass, as
he was worshipping his god, two of his sons smote him with
the sword and that was the end of him; he did not get back
into the city.
GOD IS THE SAME THROUGH ALL AGES
The same God of old is the one in your midst. BUT IN YOUR
OWN CASE, THE FATHER HAS COME IN PERSON. THE
FATHER HAS COME, THE SON HAS COME, THE HOLY SPIRIT
HAS COME. WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO DOUBT? Why do
you continue to indulge in diabology, in fornication? Why are
you disobedient? Your actions show that you do not know
where you are. IF YOU KNOW NOT, A TIME COMES WHEN
THE ANGELS WILL SELECT WHAT ARE HIS AND LEAVE
ASIDE WHAT DOES NOT BELONG TO HIM. IN THE LONG
RUN, THERE WILL BE REGRETS. I have done all things to
dissuade you from your sinfulness.
13. Right from the creation of the world, God has nothing to do
with sin. He does not admit any sinfulness. This is the new
heaven and the new earth. It is here that righteousness
dwells. Let all of us live a life that befits the kingdom of God.
THE CALL WAS FIRST EXTENDED TO SINNERS, LAW
BREAKERS AND BASE THINGS BUT THOSE WHO WERE
ACTUALLY WAITING FOR THIS KINGDOM ARE ON THEIR
WAY. WHEN THEY COME, YOU WILL HAVE NO CHANCE
AGAIN. Brethren, let our first lesson be read.
1st Lesson: 1 Timothy 5:20
"Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear."
How many of you here practise that portion of the Bible read
to you? Some people are fornicating, some are stealing. Who
has ever rebuked another? Some are quarrelling and some
are fighting. Who is there to advise the other person not to
do so?
Rebuke, But Do Not Hate
I have taught you everything about this Kingdom. The
knowledge you have acquired should equip you with the
ability to rebuke a person whose behaviour does not reflect
the teachings of this Kingdom. You have the full right to
rebuke any person. This is not to suggest that you should
abuse him, or beat him or keep mute with him. You are
14. instead told to rebuke him, and show him where he had gone
wrong.
If you go through First Step To God alone, you will know
what we are saying. Like you have been told of how that
Pastor goes about with a ring, it is quite true that many are
still putting on rings. But these rings have no powers. These
things bring ill-luck, death, and suffering to them. You will
hear them complain, that they have been to Brotherhood but
they are still beset with problems. The fact is that they are
still drinking, consulting oracles, preparing concoction,
taking court action against people and because of these
they still suffer. I have no concern in what they do because
those who assimilate this Gospel, angels and men alike
abiding by the provisions of the First Step, are doing the
work.
Brotherhood Spreads Like Wild Fire
There is money, wealth, and employment opportunities here
but we are looking for truthful persons. The Kingdom of God
is all joy, love, peace, patience, mercy, truth, temperance
and meekness. There is no sinfulness in it, neither can it
enter in. Brotherhood is not affiliated to any organization or
person. It stands all alone. It is the Kingdom of God. It is
quite another Kingdom altogether. It exists forever. You will
notice that as the years pass by, Brotherhood expands. A
time will come when the whole world will be enveloped. As
the years pass by, so does it expand with leaps and bounds.
15. It is for us to teach this love to those in the world. Teach
this patience to our brethren here who continue to quarrel,
show them their mistakes. Those who continue to beat up
their children, and tell lies and commit any sin; show them
their mistakes, for their own good. If you continue to sin, you
will he driven out of the Kingdom not by any human being
but by angels.
Rebuke Whoever Sins
Brethren, from now on, whether you are a Deaconess, or a
Prophet, or a Pastor or whatever you are, rebuke yourself if
you do not practise the Gospel of God. Rebuke your child,
and your husband if they do not practise this word of God.
Without causing any quarrel, point out their mistakes. If they
do not accept, leave them to their ways. WE DO NOT COME
HERE TO ACT ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTIVES OF OUR
SPIRITS. WE DO NOT COME HERE TO PLEASE OURSELVES.
It is for you to practise the Gospel given to you here
because angels are taking down all that is delivered. What
matters is for you to comply implicitly with what you are
taught without adding nor subtracting anything.
Always Walk Circumspectly
The world is bamboozled at the situation of things in the
world. The children of God have no cause for alarm because
it is said the wages of sin, i.e. lies, stealing, charms,
animosity, fornication, murder, and so forth, is death,
16. wretchedness, war, and this suffering is meant for all the
inhabitants of the world.
Do not carry the property of any person without the
owner’s consent, be it your husband, your wife, your child,
your brother or sister, or your friend. Do not take anything
except it is given to you by the owner, if you do, then, it
means you are a thief. Do not murmur against any person.
Do not impute sins on a person like you. The only thing you
have to do is that whoever does not follow the teachings you
have received here, show him his mistakes so that
everybody will see the light and those who had derailed with
him may turn back to the path of rectitude.
The Wages of Sin Is Death
There is no day I have spoken my own words. All the things I
tell you are what you will find stated in the Bible which God
tells us to practice the word of God. I have never told you
that I say one thing or the other. What brings death is
fornication. What brings death is idolatry. What brings death
is stealing and telling of lies. It is said, "Thou shalt have no
other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any
graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in the earth
beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt
not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them." When you
consult oracles and sorcerers, swear by your bodies, and
practise their instructions, you only invoke the wrath of God
upon yourselves. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt
not fornicate. A man should only take to one woman. But
17. when you indulge in fornication or adultery, you have put
yourself into a very serious trouble which attracts death,
sickness, wretchedness and tribulations to you.
The Origin Of Sin
What you have now is the revision of the lessons taught you
right from the time of Adam. This revision becomes
necessary since at this end of time and the final
examination is imminent. It is necessary that you be
reminded of all the things taught by our Lord Jesus Christ
and the prophets' right from the beginning. It is time to put
them into practice. Whoever does not practise these gospels
will be expelled from this kingdom. He will not be worthy of
it and consequently will not enter in.
You should not seek for the advice of men. Adam and Eve
were commanded to eat of all the fruits of the trees in the
garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
they should not eat lest they would die. Since they ate of the
fruit of the tree, sin, death and tribulation befell them. I
HAVE NOT COME TO PRAY FOR PEOPLE. I HAVE NOT COME
TO PREACH TO PEOPLE. I HAVE COME TO SIT DOWN TO
WATCH THE GLORY OF GOD. THE ANGELS ARE DOING
EVERYTHING. THE FATHER, SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS
DOING EVERYTHING TO JUDGE THE WORLD, TO ARRANGE
EVERYTHING AND TO BESTOW JOY.
I HAVE ONLY COME WITH JOY. BUT NOW YOU HAVE
CAUSED ME TO REPEAT EVERYTHING, PREACH EVERY
18. GOSPEL AND SHOW YOU ALL THINGS. I HAVE DONE THESE
OVER AND OVER AGAIN, BUT YOU REMAIN ADAMANT. THE
ONLY THING LEFT NOW IS FOR ME TO LOCK THE DOOR. IN
FUTURE IF YOU COME HERE, YOU WILL NO LONGER SEE
ME. THERE WILL BE NO MORE HOLY OIL OR WATER. NO
PRAYERS NOR SERMONS WILL BE GIVEN ANY LONGER.
YOU CANNOT COMPARE MY WORK TO THE WORK OF ANY
OTHER PERSON IN THE WHOLE WORLD, BECAUSE THIS IS A
DIFFERENT WORLD ALTOGETHER; IT IS A NEW WORLD.
NONE OF YOU KNOWS WHAT IS IN THIS KINGDOM. IT IS
THE HOLY SPIRIT ALONE WHO IS AT WORK.
You should prostrate on the ground, doing as you are
instructed; expressing love, not getting exasperated, not
becoming fastidious. That is all you ought to do.
Launching Will be Proscribed
Right now, I am going to discontinue certain things. The rate
of launchings that are done will be reduced. You do not have
any kobo at home but you will want to do launching. Does
that not amount to borrowing from Peter to pay Paul? In this
kingdom, whoever on whom God has bestowed any gifts,
should use the gifts judiciously in God’s service. If he
refuses to give to you, remain calm and do not disturb
yourself any longer. I have not yet exhibited my true colour. I
know the meaning of launching. It is self-help venture,
19. seeking for means of feeding yourself. It is not a
Brotherhood affair. The Scriptures say, "And God hath set
some in the 'church, first apostles, secondarily prophets,
thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healing,
helps, governments, diversities of tongue." The Father had
pre-arranged everything according to needs. We have no
need to pray God to do this or that.
In respect of the New Jerusalem building, one person
has volunteered to build it without asking a kobo from
others. But others say he should not. They have not done so
themselves; and this year is running past. Whom will you
blame? I had intentionally allowed you your way. I intend to
use my possessions at will but Satan says I should not. At
the same time, the thing is not done by him. Does it mean
the project will be left halfway? Within a short time I am
going to put an end to that insult. I will soon tell that child of
mine to go and construct what he intended. You lack the
ability and the expression of love. Go and build it you would
not, let the owner do it his own way, you would not. When
people visit Biakpan, they will be scattered all over. What is
the sense of doing that?
Diversities of Gifts
I have said right from the beginning that this place is not
like secular set-ups. One person can volunteer here and
purchase an aeroplane for travelling. Somebody can buy a
shop or a train or a car or a house for you. That is what
exists in this Kingdom. Nobody struggles for anything,
20. launching here and there, launching into your pockets and
into other placebo. That is not the case. The Father owns
everything. He does everything and gives people the ability.
There is division of labour according to gifts of the Spirit.
Some are cooks, and others engage in other jobs. We have
no problem and there is no occasion of stumbling. This is the
Kingdom of God.
Many people think that this place is a refugee camp; that
whoever lacks what to eat should come here for food. That
assertion is misconstrued. Here in this Kingdom, all hands
must be on deck. It is said, do not feed the lazy, and eat no
person’s food for nothing. You are not here to lazy about.
You must have what to do. It is our tradition as recorded in
the Holy Book. That is the teaching here. The lazy one is not
fed and we do not eat any person’s food in vain.
Do Not Feed The Idle
This explains why we are looking for farm land, When we
acquire the plots, healing homes where people go and hide
claiming to be doing the Father’s work will be depopulated.
Tools will be provided for you to work in the farm and at the
end of the month you will be given your wages. It is from
there that you will feed. All the useless things done in
healing homes: stealing and doing other abominable things
will stop. No lazy person will be fed. 2nd Thessalonians 3:6 –
15 makes it clear: Whoever is lazy, be he your child or your
husband or your mother should not be fed if he refuses to
work. Have no communion with him and at the same time do
21. not quarrel with him. It is a grievous sin which you take
lightly.
Brethren, the Holy Bible is the Ark of God’s Covenant. I
quote my authority from it. Before you are driven away, I
quote it from there. Whoever does not hear and would not
practise the Word of God, you should have nothing to do with
him. Send him out. Brethren, let our second lesson be read.
2nd Lesson: John 7:7
"The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I
testify it, that the works thereof are evil. "
There Is No Marriage In The Kingdom
Do you see why the world hates the children of God? Do you
know why the inhabitants of the world do not want to see
Brotherhood in existence? If Brotherhood was that of the
world, the world would have loved it. It had been said, "The
children of this world marry, and are given in marriage but
they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world,
and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are
given in marriage." Therefore, there is no marriage here.
22. When you intend to marry I refer you to this portion of the
Scriptures and bid you farewell.
To Be Saved, Your Righteousness Should Exceed That Of
Others
Brotherhood does not bury the dead. Because our Lord
Jesus Christ had said, "Let the dead bury their dead: but go
thou and preach the Kingdom of God." Therefore, when you
are going to bury the dead, read this portion of the Holy
Bible and proceed on your journey. It is advised that you
should not resist an evil-doer. Anytime you decide to fight an
evil person, I bid you farewell while I remain this way until
you return. Because our Lord Jesus Christ said, "That
except your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the
Scribes and Pharisees, shall in no case enter into the
Kingdom of Heaven."
The worldly people are waiting anxiously for that Kingdom of
God But you are already in that Kingdom. You are taught to
retrace your steps from your evil and to do that which is
pleasing unto God. When you are told that judgement will
start from the house of God, this is that judgement. You are
told that any person who commits fornication, who steals,
who is wallowing in anger, who beats up his children, who
indulges in the preparation of concoction and juju, and other
abominable acts, has no place in this kingdom.
23. The line of demarcation between us here and the world is
that the church denominations claim that if one comes into
their organizations such a person is saved notwithstanding
that he is a notorious thief. The Father does not hold such a
contention here. Whatever you commit, crime-wise does not
matter so long as you are their member. But whatever other
people do in other church denominations-are counted as
sinful. I make this statement to all the inhabitants of the
world, that it is my place to rebuke the entire world that
their behavioural patterns have derailed them from the path
of rectitude.
Sin No More Lest Worst Things Come To You
You will argue that our Lord Jesus Christ did not rebuke the
evil ways of a selected number of people but everybody.
This, He has said, "The world cannot hate you; but me it
hateth, because I testify of it, that their works thereof are
evil." Remember that "woman taken in adultery" who was
brought before our Lord Jesus Christ by the Scribes and
Pharisees to tempt him. What did He say unto them? He
said, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a
stone at her. And again He stooped down, and wrote on the
ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their
own conscience, went away one by one, beginning at the
eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the
woman standing in the midst."
First Remove The Stick From Your Eyes
24. Then He said to that woman, "Woman, where are those thine
accusers, hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man,
Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee:
Go and sin no more." The problem facing all of you here is
that none of you is ready to accept any reproof from
somebody for wrong doing. If somebody tells a person to
forsake doing an evil act, should a gun be handy, he will
shoot that person. None of you here wants to be advised
against committing evil. If any person walks up to rebuke
you of committing an evil act, you will regard that person as
your enemy for life. But you continue to find faults on other
persons while you go about with a clean slate. In your own
estimation only, other people continue to sin. And that is the
line all of you are towing. But our Lord Jesus Christ has
reproved us of such behavioural patterns. For He said, "Thou
hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and
then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy
brother’s eye."
Make Hay While The Sun Shines
All the inhabitants of the world do not like a good thing. And
they hate any person making bold to tell the truth. But I have
come with the truth and I will stop at nothing to announce
that which is the truth. Notwithstanding your station in life, I
will say the truth to everybody. This I will do without regard
25. to whether you will die or live. I have not yet started playing
this role. For I will call people face-to-face and rebuke them
of their evil ways publicly. When judgement will commence,
this is the trend that will be followed.
Brethren, it is expedient to fish out for a black goat when
the night is not yet come. Your call into this Kingdom is not
that you should fool around with it or drag it into mud.
Because if you stay here to fight, and struggle over bread,
struggle over positions, tell lies, commit all forms of
atrocity, it means that you are dogs and you are swine.
You will come in contact with a great many brothers who
claim that they had come to Brotherhood. But they find it
difficult to say the reason why they backslide. Because they
came into Brotherhood to steal, commit fornication, engage
in the preparation of concoction, quarrel, fight, and to
perpetuate all forms of evil acts. The angels of God will wait
patiently and if they will not lend ears to the Word of God,
they will be driven away.
Those Who Sin, Rebuke Before All
If Brotherhood were man-made, I would have sent a great
many people home. But I have no authority to drive away
people. I have no power to call people into this Kingdom. I
remain as a graven image. I look unto the Father. But when
it becomes expedient to rebuke people publicly of their
26. wrong doings, I will not be the one to discharge this
function. It is the Father Himself who will accomplish that
role. And you will live to witness what the trend of openings
will be.
You are living witnesses to the fact that there is no day I
have ever failed to rebuke you of your wrong doings. That
such behavioural patterns cannot earn your entry into this
Kingdom of God. Because our Lord Jesus Christ had told
them: "That except your righteousness shall exceed the
righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no
case enter into the Kingdom of heaven."
We Now See The Kingdom of God
This is why this Kingdom of God did not manifest itself
before now, but has suffered at this end of time. Because
Abraham had hoped for it, but to no avail. Isaac, Jacob,
Moses and other men of God had their eyes on this Kingdom.
All their sufferings were jolted towards the fulfillment of this
Kingdom of God. But they only heard about it, they hoped on
it, but they never saw it. With the advent of our Lord Jesus
Christ, He preached about this Kingdom unto the people's
But it did not manifest to them. All the disciples of our Lord
Jesus Christ from Simon Peter were all, killed for the sake of
this Kingdom. And yet they did not see it. Thus, I count
myself as a man of great luck if you have not counted
yourself as such to live to see this Kingdom of God. Because
27. of this, I must accomplish all that is incumbent on me to do
in a bid to enter into this Kingdom. But if you fail to play up
your role, the fate is yours. Our Lord Jesus had said, "Again,
the Kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field:
the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy
thereof joy thereof and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth
that field."
Admonish Your Father Who Sins
So also is this Kingdom of God. This Kingdom is not money,
it is not garment, it is not children, it is not husband, it is not
house. Rather, it is everlasting life, it is eternal glory, it is
peace, it is joy, and righteousness in the Holy Spirit. Do not
disturb your father if he is a member of any of the church
denominations. But rebuke and reprove him for snuffing, that
the children of God do not snuff. Against this base, he should
neither snuff, nor indulge in the preparation of concoction,
nor commit fornication, nor institute court action against
any person. Show to him all the tendencies God instructs us
not to indulge notwithstanding whether he is a member of
any church denomination or whether he does not go to a
church denomination but stays at home to worship God.
That is precisely what is expected of you. And not to request
him to come over here. Should you do this, you are only
breeding confusion. Put him into the knowledge of that
which is nominated in the only Scripture without, paying any
attention to the church denomination he attends.
28. You are witnesses that Paul, formerly called Saul, never saw
our Lord Jesus Christ in the flesh. And he did not also meet
Peter. Rather it was Peter who knew our Lord Jesus Christ
carnally and he was the one He gave the key of this
ministry. It was to Peter that He said, "Feed my sheep." But
in the final analysis, it was the same Peter who did eat of
things sacrificed unto idols. But when Paul, who was not
opportuned to see our Lord Jesus Christ in the flesh,
received this news, he went and reproved him publicly.
Therefore, if a person is not circumcised but he does that
which is pleasing in the sight of God, he has every right to
advise the circumcised person who derails from the path of
rectitude.
All Religions Have Entrenched In Their Doctrine The Concept
Of Love
It can be that your father is yet to be baptized into
Brotherhood, your mother is not of this fold, your brothers
and sisters are yet to be called into this Kingdom but they
do not drink, they do not commit fornication, they do not tell
lies, but they practise the Word of God. But you who have
come into this fold are indulging in the preparation of
concoction, you are still exasperated and committing other
acts of sinfulness. Is your father not worthy to reprove and
rebuke you to forsake doing such evil acts for they are not
pleasing unto God? Now, Bishops, Reverends and other
clergymen are acting as Peter. You have the full right to
29. reprove them when they are snuffing, drinking, wearing
talisman and committing other demonic behaviors publicly.
You who claim to be a Bishop, why do you drink? Why do you
consult necromancers? Why do you commit fornication? Why
do you snuff? You have full grounds to reprimand any person
who commits such sinful acts. That is precisely your duty.
The Moslem world preaches about love. Buddhism preaches
about nothing but love. Christianity also preaches about
love. Everybody preaches about love. You are at liberty to
seek to know from a necromancer why he, who professes to
prepare concoction which gives life to people and to protect
their properties, to end their evil tendencies, should indulge
in committing evil acts.
Reprove Men Of Their Evil Ways
Government says people should not even bribe or receive
same. But a Government official will demand bribe from you
when he rounds you up in any offence. Why do you fail to ask
why he should demand for kick-back when he is positioned
there to preach and check the giving and receiving of
bribes?
Brethren, can you realize where the Word of God hinges? Do
not request anybody to decamp from one church
denomination and pitch his tent in your own denomination.
Rebuke and reprove anybody for committing any act of sin
irrespective of the church denominations he belongs. That is
why you lie before me in order to accomplish yourself
aggrandizement. Even if they hate you, or not believe in you,
30. you should remain indifferent. Any person who accepts your
reprimand has saved his soul. If he refuses to accept the
truth, he is damned.
Brotherhood cannot agree with any evil tendency. BECAUSE
AS STATED IN THE FIRST STEP TO GOD, WE DO NOT BEAT
DRUMS, WE DO NOT BURN INCENSE, WE DO NOT LIGHT
CANDLES, WE DO NOT PERFORM THOSE CARNAL DANCES.
FOR THEY ARE DEMONIC THINGS. All the celebrations they
hold here and there, the propensity to consume all kinds of
liquor are not found in the teachings of Brotherhood.
What surprises me is that your father is an elder in one of
the church denominations but he still snuffs. You maintain
sealed lips and refuse to rebuke him of such an evil act. He
is drinking, and indulging in such tendencies which do not
give glory to God. Why do you fail to reprove him for
committing such sinful acts? That is the work of God.
Rebuke and reprove any person who derails from the path of
rectitude. Even if it is the entire members of a church
denomination, open and show to them the portions of the
Holy Scriptures, which reprove such behavioural patterns.
That was the work done by our Lord Jesus Christ. And it is
incumbent on us to continue in that same vein.
A Hireling Is Not A Good Shepherd
Right now, Bishops, Reverends, Pastors, Evangelists, Elders,
Catechists and others who profess to do God’s work are
receiving monthly salaries. Where do you find this practice
31. in the Holy Bible? Have you rebuked them of practising such
a doctrine? For a hireling is not a good shepherd. They are
not serving God but are working for money. No matter how
small the amount of money paid to you in a month, you are
working for money. And it cannot be counted as God’s work.
Because the Word of God is rendered without any
remuneration. It is done gratis. Have you made this truth
known to Bishops? If you put this truth to them, they will
lock you inside and threaten you that you will not go out of
the house.
The Pot Cannot Call the Kettle Black
I am looking for the Archbishops, Reverends, all those who
profess to know the Scriptures so that I can reprove and
rebuke them of their evil ways publicly. Can they proclaim to
be Bishops, Pastors, Reverends and yet they sprinkle water
on the faces of people and call it baptism? Our Lord Jesus
Christ received baptism by immersion in water but they who
claim to be leaders of church denominations refuse to be
baptized. Why have they practised such a teaching as if they
are blind?
Therefore, all of you who claim to be Brotherhood have erred
because you have failed to reprove and rebuke people of
their sinful ways. You have been incapacitated to do so
because you are still committing these acts of sin yourself
as they also are committing. Thus, you are a friend to them.
32. Who will reprove the other? Should you do so, he will ask
you about the ones you have been committing. You are
forced to compromise at all times because the two of you
are soaked in the same red oil.
Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "And for their sakes I sanctify
myself that they also might be sanctified through the truth."
The Dean of the Faculty of Religious Studies and Philosophy
of a university came here to see the Father. And I asked him
whether he is still drinking, he accepted; whether he was
still committing fornication and he also accepted. I then
asked him what he was then preaching to the people. And
he kowtowed pleading for pardon. He confessed that he was
working for his daily bread. This incident is not a dream but
a physical manifestation.
Reprove evil with the Word of God
Another professor, a white woman of the Department of
Religious Studies and Philosophy came here. She dressed in
trousers. I questioned her why she was putting on trousers
when the Scripture forbids such a tendency after opening to
her a portion of the Bible. She accepted her mistake arguing
that she came out of the office to see the Father and
promised never to come in such a manner again. I do not
place anybody in a place of comfort the moment you derail
from the path of rectitude. Whether you are a governor, it
does not matter in any way. IF YOU CLAIM TO BE OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST, COME OUT AND I WILL STOP AT NOTHING
TO REPROVE YOU AGAINST ANY WRONG DOINGS. THAT IS
33. MY DUTY. When you are advised to come here and receive
the Word of God, you continue to wonder about. In
everything, you must quote from the Holy Scriptures. I do
not make any pronouncement mentally but I freely quote
directly from the Holy Scriptures. If you snuff, I will refer you
to read that portion of the Scripture which warns against
such a practice.
In your own case, what role are you playing? An elder in one
of the church denominations came here confessing that he
practises the Word of God. I asked him why he should snuff
whereas he occupies the seat of an elder. He was
bamboozled and asked whether there is any portion
nominated in the Holy Bible against snuffing. I answered in
the affirmative and quoted that portion to him. And he
confessed that he had never heard such a passage before.
Your duty is to reprove any person committing any act of
sin, if you alienate yourself from sinfulness. For anybody
who snuffs, drinks, puts on fingerings, indulges in the
preparation of concoction, quarrels, curses people, it is
incumbent on him to be reprimanded.
That is our assignment which is the Word of God. That
was the work our Lord Jesus Christ came to accomplish.
You have not yet started your journey on the path of
rectitude. As people lazing about and claiming not having
what to do, reprove them and then you are left to offer food
or shelter to them. Who are they feeding from? But now you
34. are a lazy person and he is lazy too. How can you rebuke a
lazy man? Let our golden text be read. I do not wish to take
you further. For I know that when a tank full of water is
opened it will be difficult to lock back.
Golden Text: Galatians 2:14
"But when I saw that they worked not uprightly according to
the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, if
thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and
not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live
as the Jews?"
Do you realize that the philosophical overtone of what has
been read to you! It is said, "If thou, being a Jew, livest after
the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why
compellest the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?" In the same
vein, if you claim to be a Brotherhood, you know that.
Brotherhood neither indulges in the preparation of
concoction nor commits fornication, nor quarrels, but you as
a Brotherhood member are still quarrelling, become
exasperated, indulge in the preparation of concoction, tell
lies, where lies the wisdom which you teach the people of
the world to refrain from quarrelling, anger, and other evil
acts?
35. Brotherhood subsumes righteousness
You visit hotels and there is a Brotherhood member there.
You attend disco jamborees and there is a Brotherhood
person there wearing long hats. A Brotherhood still
institutes court action against people, quarrels, fights and
commits other atrocities. But he goes about preaching the
kingdom of God to people to forsake sin. You want the
people to refrain from committing acts of sin but you are
neck-deep in sinfulness. What is the wisdom to tow such a
line?
Practise what you preach
You profess that there exists no concoction or juju, that
people should not go to hospitals for treatment, that people
should not be administered with injections, but tomorrow
you are found in a hospital to the surprise of those you had
preached that such a tendency is bad. Why did you preach to
them to forsake receiving medical treatment? That is reason
for the ‘why’ you are baptized as deceivers. And that is the
reason you shrink into your shells when you find people go
for treatments in hospitals. Consider Paul as a case in point.
He suffered from ‘infirmity of the flesh’ but because he had
36. preached to people against receiving treatment from
hospitals, he was reluctant to go for a surgical operation.
And therefore he died with this ‘infirmity of the flesh.’
The word of God is not an easy task. If you say that
somebody should not tell lies, it is incumbent on you not to
tell lies. If you say that somebody should not steal, why do
you indulge in theft? If you show such a behavioural pattern,
it means that you are baseless. Do you realize the
intricacies involved in practicing the word of God? Peter
who had been with our Lord Jesus Christ went and ate
things sacrificed unto idols. By so doing, the other Jews
dissembled likewise with his behavior in so much that
Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
Be doers of the word and not hearers only
Paul who was not privileged to be in company of our Lord
Jesus Christ in the flesh did not fail to reprimand Peter, 'But
when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the
truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, ‘If thou,
being a Jew, livest after the manner of the Gentiles, and not
as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as
do the Jews?" It is neither the hearers of the word, nor the
preachers of the word who shall be saved, but all those who
practise the word of God shall have salvation. YOU ARE
37. TAUGHT THAT BROTHERHOOD NEITHER KEEPS MOURNING
HOUSES, NOR HOLDS MEMORIAL SERVICES, NOR
CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS. ALL THINGS ARE THE SAME BUT
WHY DO YOU ATTEND 'MEMORIAL SERVICES, KEEP
MOURNING HOUSES, AND COMMIT OTHER EVIL THINGS,
ARE YOU A LIAR? That is why people speculate that you in
Brotherhood have not seen God as a truth. That explains
why your brothers, sisters friends refuse to follow you into
Brotherhood. For that construes that you are fooling around
and that you are yet to come by the truth.
If You Refrain from Sins Many Will Follow You
If you had realized this truth, you would throw away all juju
and diabolical things, you would forsake fornication,
drinking and all the abominable life patterns you were
wallowing in hitherto, and would have declared, to follow
God in the correct perspective. You then preach that people
should follow God and it is a truism they are bound to tow
that line. You will realize a massive following because the
people will come to the realization that you have refrained
forthwith from committing fornication, ladies will come to
you only to see you turn them down. Men will come to you to
offer kick-backs and you reject their offers. With the turn of
events, people are bound to believe in you.'
What I am preaching regarding reproving people of their
wrong doings is what I intend to take up with the
38. Archbishops, Reverends, and others who claim to be the
first established church denomination. It is true that they
were the first to come to such a knowledge, but what I am
interested in is why they still drink, commit fornication, and
snuff. What have they been preaching to the people? That is
the argument which disgraces them. And I back my
assertions with appropriate quotations from the Holy
Scriptures. They claim to be the first to have people to
forsake sins when they are swimming in the ocean of
sinfulness?
Preach the Word of God, Rebuke, Reprove, Exhort, Advise
and Admonish
Brethren, God is not respecter of persons. When Paul heard
that Peter was eating things sacrificed unto idols which
caused the other Jews dissembled likewise with him;
insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their
dissimulation, he went and reprimanded him and others for
not walking uprightly according to the truth of the gospel."
You have the right to reprove any person or any church
denomination in the whole world if they do not follow the
truth of the gospel. That is our work.
LOOK AT THE CHERUBIM AND SERAPHIM CHURCH, THEY
ARE NOW WEARING WHITE BECAUSE THEY REGARD THE
FATHER AS THEIR LEADER. And that is what is expected of
all church denominations in the whole world. Gradually,
39. these denominations will be transformed into the true
Brotherhood. What have you been doing when you go to
them? Have you not been reproving them for carrying
amulets on their bodies?
The Leader is No Respecter of Any Person
They claim that the Leader is no respecter of anybody. A
former governor once came here. And I asked him why he
should call himself a governor and yet he had no wife in the
house but rather flirts about. I made this remark openly to
him because I was interested in his salvation. No matter the
station of any person in life whether he is a governor,
president or whatever his position, it is your bounden duty to
reprove and rebuke them once he derails from the path of
rectitude. But in your own case, you always feign shy in the
presence of such persons. This is precisely what is
expected of you in doing God’s work. Your reproving them
does not flood away their highly esteemed positions.
RATHER, IT ENSURES THAT ALL PERSONS WALK
ACCORDING TO THE TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST. THIS IS THE HUB AROUND WHICH MY PROBLEM
WITH ALL OF YOU REVOLVES.
Brethren, you can then realize that the work is yet to start.
So long as you still persist in sinfulness, what will you
preach to others? You go about telling people that you want
to offer them prayers, calling on God to send down His
40. power. THE PERSON HIMSELF CAN PRAY. BUT IT IS YOUR
PLACE TO SHOW HIM THE WRONGS HE HAS BEEN
COMMITTING. Can one fetch water with a basket? If a hole
is made in this house and you are required to fill the house
with water, will you be able to fill it? Till dooms-day, the
house will not be filled with water. Because as you pour in
water, it will run out into the ground through the hole. The
same holds true with the person who is a fornicator. You will
anoint him with oil, beat him thrice on the head and pray
over him. But all this spiritual work will be to no avail
because of his continued indulgence in fornication.
The Aim of Brotherhood
A necromancer is also in the same shoes. You will anoint
him with oil, give him the Holy Water to drink and pray God
to send down His power on him. All your efforts will prove
abortive if you do not first tell him to do away with all his
diabolical materials, tell him to refrain from fornication and
to stop drinking. The moment he forsakes such evil
tendencies, you have saved his soul. You can realize that
what is the problem of all the inhabitants of the world is
their reluctance to wash their hands off committing evil
acts. That is why we are looking for land to build our own
Brotherhood world where only righteousness will dwell, and
where we will live according to the will of God. WE DO NOT
41. WANT TO POUR LIBATION FOR WE HAVE NO OTHER GOD
THAN THE WORD OF GOD, TO PRACTISE THE WORD OF GOD
IN ITS CORRECT PERSPECTIVE. THAT IS THE AIM OF
BROTHERHOOD.
In all the church denominations, Bishops, Reverends,
Pastors, Apostles, Prophets, Elders do give the Holy Bible to
people to swear. Why should they swear to an oath? For our
Lord Jesus Christ had said, "But above all things, my
brethren swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth,
neither by any other oath: But let your yea be yea; and your
nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation." Is the Holy Bible
meant to be sworn to or to be read?
I am patiently waiting for the established church
denominations, the famous theologians, the great scientists
to come and let us settle down to discuss the scriptures.
OURS IS REGARDED AS A NEWLY BORN BABY CHILD. AND I
ACCEPT THAT POSITION. WHAT PLEASES ME IS THAT AT
NO POINT IN TIME HAS ANY PERSON SUCCEEDED TO
OUTWIT THE FATHER. RATHER, THE FATHER HAS ALWAYS
DEFEATED THE SO-CALLED INTELLECTUALS, PROFESSORS,
HIGHLY-PLACED AND OTHER ESTEEMED PERSONS TO THE
SOCIETY.
Whatever you are, I will stop at nothing to reprove you.
Notwithstanding your string of degrees, they do not hold any
42. importance before me. But I will rebuke and reprove you for
committing any evil act. I will question why you are not
baptized when you profess to be a Bishop, Professor or a
person of high status in life. And they will prostrate on the
ground accepting their foolishness. How I wish that the son
should resemble his father. Unfortunately this has proved
incongruous. But we have only one commandment. It is said,
"They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are
sick." That is what is holding in this kingdom. It is for this
reason that our Lord Jesus Christ had said, "No man can
come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draws
him: and I will raise him up at the last day." This is what I
am waiting for.
Brethren, I do not intend to be tedious unto you. It is said
that one stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise.
Those who have ears, let them hear. May God bless His holy
words, Amen.
