THE QUALITIES OF A CHILD OF GOD
"For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are sons of God."
Romans 8: 14
AND OTHER SHEEP I HAVE WHICH ARE NOT OF THIS FOLD,
THEM ALSO I MUST BRING, AND THEY SHALL HEAR MY
VOICE; AND THERE SHALL BE ONE FOLD, AND ONE
SHEPHERD. (JOHN 10:6)
"But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against
such there is no law."
Galatians 5: 22-23
2. SPIRITUALISM?
HAVE YOU HEARD THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST EVER
BEAT DRUMS, BURN INCENSE OR LIGHT CANDLES? RIGHT
FROM PETER, TO WHOM THIS MINISTRY WAS HANDED, TO
PAUL AND OTHERS WHO SERVED IN THE MINISTRY, HAVE
YOU HEARD ANY OF THEM BEAT DRUM, BURN INCENSE OR
OR LIGHT CANDLES, USED PERFUMERY OR ANY OF ALL THE
OTHER ABOMINABLE ACTS YOU TAKE DELIGHT IN DOING IN
THE NAME OF SPIRITUALISM?
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
* The question now is, are you glorifying God or the Bishops?
BUT I AM TELLING YOU THAT IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE
CROSS AND STAR, ALL GLORIES GO DIRECTLY TO GOD
ALONE. Whatever rank you have here belongs to the Father,
and with this you are free to go anywhere in the world to
serve the Father.
* EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE A BISHOP, PROPHET,
VISIONER, OR EVEN IF YOU CALL YOURSELF JESUS, ONCE
YOU ARE GIVEN TO THIS TENDENCY OF DIVISION, YOU ARE
A WOEFUL SINNER. AND YOU SHOULD COUNT YOURSELF
OUT OF THIS FOLD.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
AND IT IS NOT EXPECTED THAT ANY ONE SHOULD DECLARE
HIMSELF TO BE JESUS OR CHRIST, OR JEHOVAH OR GOD.
HE SAID, WHOEVER BELIEVES IN ME, BELIEVES NOT IN ME
BUT IN HIM WHO SENT ME. AT TIMES HE WOULD SAY I, AND
THE FATHER ARE ONE. DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT
3. WHOEVER BELIEVES IN THE SON BELIEVES IN THE FATHER,
WHOEVER REJECTS THE SON HAS NOT THE FATHER.
AS MANY AS BELIEVE IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AS THE
SON OF GOD, THE SAME HAVE RIGHT TO BE CALLED THE
CHILDREN OF GOD. ALL THOSE WHO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN
THE SPIRIT TESTIFY THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS
HERE. HE IS DOING THE WORK; HE IS THE MASTER, THE
LORD OF LORDS AND THE KING OF KINGS. HE IS IN HEAVEN,
ON EARTH AND IN US. HE DIED ONCE FOR THE SAKE OF OUR
SINS. FROM THENCE LIVES HE A LIFE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
FOREVER.
IT IS NOT EXPECTED THAT ANY OTHER PERSON SHOULD
DIE. IT IS NOT GIVEN THAT THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM
SHOULD DIE. THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM MUST HAVE
ETERNAL LIFE. AND IT IS NOT EXPECTED THAT ANY ONE
SHOULD DECLARE HIMSELF TO BE JESUS OR CHRIST, OR
JEHOVAH OR GOD. DO WE NEED MANY JESUSES? IS THE
ONE WE HAVE NOT SUFFICIENT? IT IS NOT ALSO EXPECTED
THAT ANYONE SHOULD GAZE AT THE SKY. WHAT DO YOU
EXPECT FROM THE SKY? THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, TRULY I
SAY UNTO YOU, HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME, THE WORKS
THAT I DO SHALL HE DO, GREATER WORKS THAN THIS
SHALL HE DO. IF YOU BELIEVE IN HIM AND DO GREATER
WORKS, WHAT ELSE DO YOU EXPECT OF HIM IN THE SKY?
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
HEALING HOMES
YOU, WHO TOLD OTHERS, "GOD SAID IN SPITE OF ALL THE
GOSPELS PREACHED TO YOU, YOU DO NOT REPENT, I HAVE
FORSAKEN YOU," WHICH GOD SENT YOU? SINCE YOUR
UTTERANCES ARE NONSENSICAL, YOU SHOULD SHUT UP
YOUR MOUTH. WHEN YOU GO TO PRAYER HOUSES AND
HEALING HOMES, YOU WILL HEAR MUCH OF SUCH THINGS.
4. THAT IS WHY I HAVE ESTABLISHED THOSE PLACES FOR
YOU TO ATTEND SINCE YOU LOVE DELUSION. AT MIDNIGHT
THEY WILL ARRANGE FOR A HOLY WASH. THEY WILL WASH
YOUR HEADS, EARS AND OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY. THEY
WILL RECOMMEND ALL SORTS OF THINGS BECAUSE THAT
IS WHERE THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO
WHATEVER THEY LIKE. CONTINUE IN YOUR ARTS IF IT IS
BENEFICIAL TO YOU.

5. THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL
THE QUALITIES OF A CHILD OF GOD
FIRST BIBLE LESSON:
Philippians 3: 3 "For we are the circumcision, which worship
God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no
confidence in the flesh"
SECOND BIBLE LESSON:
Galatians 5: 22-23 "But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy,
peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness, temperance; against such there is no law."
GOLDEN TEXT: Romans 8: 14 "For as many as are led by the
spirit of God, they are sons of God."
THE WORK OF FLESH:
Brethren, the gospel will be short and brief because the Holy
Spirit has completed His work. What you are going to hear
shall be like planting on a piece of land, which had been
cleared and the thrash burnt. You are witnesses to the fact
that the flesh does not possess love, truth, patience and
mercy and cannot teach men these virtues. And whenever
the elementary spirit of this world enters into your body, you
will be taught how to drink, fornicate, steal, and indulge in
the preparation of concoction and how to commit murder. A
person who does this thing is lying against the truth. That
sort of spirit is not from God but from the flesh.
It is very simple to differentiate between the man who walks
in the flesh and the one who walks in the spirit. And this
gospel will enable you to know those who are the real
children of God. You will find somebody, who will reply that
the Holy Spirit is inborn in him, if you care to ask. But by his
side you will see snuffbox, around him are charms, cigarette
is part of him, fornication is his daily practice. In spite of
6. these, he will tell you that he was born with the Holy Spirit.
Whoever drinks is not of the spirit and all those who take
snuff do not walk in the spirit but in the flesh. All those who
are afraid of the things of this life and they that doubt do not
walk in the spirit.
All those who are preoccupied with the thought of the things
of this earth, how to get money, cars, wife, become a chief
are not directed by the Holy Spirit but by the flesh.
All those who discriminate support party spirit and ethnicity
are in flesh and not led by the spirit. Whoever commits sin
possesses not the spirit of God in him but walks
in the flesh. Possessing the spirit of God does not consist in
shaking of head in the frenzy of spiritual ecstasy. Rather,
what is read to you from the texts, make up the qualities of a
child of God. All those who see witches, apparition, water
spirits, and how mermaids are disturbing somebody, are
carnally minded. They do not walk in the spirit of God. The
spirit of God does not lead all those who see visions of how
God
directs that another person be married to them, or how
somebody has been intimate with another man’s wife, or how
the other person has committed fornication.
MULTIPLE BIRTHS
Brethren do not be deceived. It had been said that in the end,
diversities of spirits shall appear and shall confuse many.
This confirms the acts of those whose visions and prophesies
are never fulfilled. Whoever prophesies and it does not
manifest accordingly does not do so with the spirit of God,
and wherever distinction is created between male and
female it is carnal and not of the spirit. Wherever a mother of
twins
or triplet is not tolerated, know that the spirit of God is not
7. there. Were twins, triplets, quadruplets to be evil, Eve, our
first mother would not have given birth to twins.
When somebody gives birth to twins, people will say that
such a thing is alien to their families. Now, was Eve who gave
birth to twins not of your family? What of Rebecca who gave
birth to Esau and Jacob, the twins? Was she not of your
family? God has proclaimed that you should go and multiply
and replenish the earth. So, one person can give birth to
three, four, or five children at the same time. In the Republic
of Cameroon, it was reported that one man gave birth to
seven children and all of them
grew up to become professionals in the fields of law,
engineering, medicine etc.
You should therefore, realize that any spirit that debars you
from interacting with a mother of twins or triplets is carnal.
And every spirit that so confesseth not that Jesus Christ is
come in the flesh is not of God.
YOU ARE GODS, NO MATTER YOUR CONDITION
Any spirit which tells you that somebody will bolt from the
blues and crash-land on the ground like an eaglet is not of
God but carnal and demonic. Why the Jews crucified our Lord
Jesus Christ was that He being man claimed He was the Son
of God. And they killed Him because they had not the spirit of
God in them. Up till today, the Jews still assert that God has
no child. This assertion implies that there is no God, for if God
has no child, who is your father? All such disputes and
confusions which trouble the world stem from the flesh.
There are some people here whose study of the evolutionary
process of man makes them believe that there is no God and
that life started from the sea bed creatures, to reptiles, to the
present Homo sapiens. Go to the universities; listen to
8. scientists and many others you will realize that no one
believes in God. That is why you behave unseemingly. It is
written in your law that you are gods, the children of the Most
High God but you shall die like men. If you are a god, then
dying like men will not stop you from being a god. If you are a
Son of God and die, this does not change the fact that you are
a child of God. If you are a god and you get sick, it does not
mean that you are no longer a god. Because you are sick, if
you are a god and are disgraced or are hungry, or in lack, it
does not mean that those things would not have come to you
were you not to be a god. Have you not seen what happens in
the world with God Almighty?
In the beginning God said let us make man in our own image,
after our likeness. What is the meaning of making man in our
own image? This means that man should look like God. When
you argue that God is not man, what then is God? Is He a
tree? Were God not man, how would He have made man in
this form which according to Him is His own image? Now you
argue that man is not God. If man is not God, what is man?
What is God? Is He not man? God put everything under man’s
care that he should superintend over fishes, animals, birds
and every other thing. He also ordered man to name all
creatures. Now, the flesh has deceived you into believing
that man is not God. If man is not God, what is man? Let us
assume that man is not God, but the Son of God. But you
argue that man is not a child of God. What then is man, when
you say that man is neither God nor a Son of God, but
believing in our Lord Jesus Christ what was he?
The birth of our Lord Jesus Christ was to confound all
wisdom. Mary was conceived for nine months, after which
Jesus was delivered and people from east and west paid
obeisance to Him. Argue that such birth did not take place. If
9. you will argue that our Lord Jesus Christ is the Child of God,
whose child are you? This issue leads to yet another. Mary
gave birth to Jesus the Christ as her first child, He was a Son
of God, and she also gave birth to others, the sons of men. We
have our support from the Bible that those who are born of
the flesh are carnal and those born of the spirit are spiritual.
Our Lord Jesus Christ was born of the spirit and others were
carnal. Can you not realize that man is of two categories?
Amongst us, there are the sons of God and the sons of men.
Now that you argue that God has just one son, does it mean
that He ended His action by begetting only our Lord Jesus
Christ? Has God not begotten any other person despite the
teeming population of the inhabitants of the world? Can you
say that our Lord Jesus Christ was the first and last child of
God?
Secondly, do you believe that since after the ascension of our
Lord Jesus Christ, He is still in the atmosphere? Did you not
read that after three days He resurrected and showed
Himself to the people? And when the disciples were terrified
He told them:
"Behold My hands and My feet, that it is Myself: handle Me,
and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see Me
have". While they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, He
said unto them, have ye here any meat, and they gave Him a
piece of boiled fish, and of honey comb. And He took it and
did eat before them. (John 24:36 -45).
BROTHERHOOD IS NOT OF THE FLESH (BCS)
All the confusion and doubt that abound in the world comes
from the flesh. That is the spirit of Lucifer who did promise to
trouble the world. We in Brotherhood rejoice in our Lord
Jesus Christ, and have confidence in the spirit. That is why,
10. those who are ignorant of what Brotherhood is, call it a new
church. But Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is the Kingdom
of God. We do not worship carnality. We do not rejoice in any
other thing apart from our Lord Jesus Christ. We do not live
according to the dictates of the flesh but by the directives of
the spirit.
ALSO WE DO NOT LOOK OR SEE THINGS CARNALLY,
NEITHER DO WE HEAR WITH THE CARNAL EARS, WE DO ALL
THINGS IN THE SPIRIT. WE KNOW NO MAN THROUGH THE
FLESH BUT THROUGH THE SPIRIT. WE DO NOT REJOICE IN
MONEY, OR SIZE, OR POSITION AND WHETHER YOU ARE A
MINISTER, LAWYER, DOCTOR OR A CHIEF, WE REJOICE IN
THE SPIRIT. OUR BOLDNESS AND HAPPINESS IS IN OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST BECAUSE HE CAME, DIED,
RESURRECTED AND HE IS NOW LIVING TO BE GLORIFIED.
HIS REIGN HAS NO BEGINNING AND NO END. HE IS OUR
CAPTAIN. HE REIGNS IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH, IN THE
WATER AND IN OUR BODY. IN ALL PLACES, HE REIGNS
THOUGH THE WORLD KNOWS HIM NOT, WE HAVE SEEN AND
KNOWN HIM. WE DO NOT BOAST, IN THE MONEY HE GIVES
US. WE DO NOT BOAST, IN THE LIFE HE GIVES US. WE DO
NOT BOAST IN THE WISDOM, HE GIVES US.
WE REJOICE IN HIM BECAUSE HE WILL NOT FAIL US FOREVER. AS HE
HAD PROMISED THAT "WHEN I GO AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU, I
WILL COME BACK AND TAKE YOU TO MYSELF," HIS PROMISE IS
FULFILLED IN US TODAY. HE SAID, "I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU
COMFORTLESS, I WILL COME UNTO YOU". HE HAS COME UNTO US.
NONE OF US HERE BOASTS OF WHAT WE HAVE. WE DO NOT EVEN
REJOICE IN OUR CARNAL FATHER OR ANY OTHER THING. OUR
HAPPINESS IS IN CHRIST JESUS, BECAUSE HE IS THE CONQUEROR
AND OUR ARMOR BEARER. MANY PEOPLE PROFESS THAT THEY ARE
CHRIST’S, OR JESUS, OR SPIRIT, BUT THEY DO NOT PREACH ABOUT
HIM, NEITHER DO THEY BOAST IN HIM. IF YOU BOAST IN OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST, WHY DO YOU NOT DO SO IN THE SPIRIT? IF YOU ARE
11. WALKING IN THE SPIRIT, WHY
DO YOU NOT BOAST IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST? BRETHREN, I DO
NOT WANT TO BELABOR YOU, LET OUR FIRST LESSON BE READ:
FIRST LESSON: PHILIPPIANS 3: 3
"For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit,
and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the
flesh".
REJOICE IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
Brethren, have you heard the Scripture? Why you have
problems is that you do not rejoice in our Lord Jesus Christ
and many of you have no confidence in the spirit. Earthly
things are like the dew, which is transitory, but our Lord
Jesus Christ abides forever. Do not put your hope in man, or
money, or any of the earthly things. But, let your hope, faith,
happiness and confidence be in our Lord Jesus Christ for He
will
not fail you.
PEOPLE ARE INVESTIGATING THE CIRCUMSTANCES
SURROUNDING THE BIRTH OF THE LEADER AND THE SORT
OF FOOD HE EATS. THEY ARE RESEARCHING INTO HIS KIND
OF APPAREL, ALL IN A BID TO DISCOVER THE SOURCE OF
HIS POWER. THESE PERSONS ARE TO BE GREATLY PITIED. I
HIDE NOTHING FROM YOU AND I HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU THAT I AM
POWERLESS AND NONE EXISTING. BUT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HAD
SAID THAT "ALL POWER IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH HAD BEEN
HANDED OVER TO ME. 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." IT IS ON THIS PROMISE
THAT I OPERATE.
HE SAID, WHOEVER BELIEVES IN ME, BELIEVES NOT IN ME BUT IN HIM
WHO SENT ME. AT TIMES HE WOULD SAY I, AND THE FATHER ARE
12. ONE. DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN THE SON
BELIEVES IN THE FATHER, WHOEVER REJECTS THE SON HAS NOT
THE FATHER.
AS MANY AS BELIEVE IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AS THE
SON OF GOD, THE SAME HAVE RIGHT TO BE CALLED THE
CHILDREN OF GOD. ALL THOSE WHO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN
THE SPIRIT TESTIFY THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS
HERE. HE IS DOING THE WORK; HE IS THE MASTER, THE
LORD OF LORDS AND THE KING OF KINGS. HE IS IN HEAVEN,
ON EARTH AND IN US. HE DIED ONCE FOR THE SAKE OF OUR
SINS. FROM THENCE LIVES HE A LIFE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
FOREVER.
IT IS NOT EXPECTED THAT ANY OTHER PERSON SHOULD
DIE. IT IS NOT GIVEN THAT THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM
SHOULD DIE. THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM MUST HAVE
ETERNAL LIFE. AND IT IS NOT EXPECTED THAT ANY ONE
SHOULD DECLARE HIMSELF TO BE JESUS OR CHRIST, OR
JEHOVAH OR GOD. DO WE NEED MANY JESUSES? IS THE
ONE WE HAVE NOT SUFFICIENT? IT IS NOT ALSO EXPECTED
THAT
ANYONE SHOULD GAZE AT THE SKY. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT
FROM THE SKY? THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, TRULY I SAY UNTO
YOU, HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME, THE WORKS THAT I DO
SHALL HE DO, GREATER WORKS THAN THIS SHALL HE DO.
IF YOU BELIEVE IN HIM AND DO GREATER WORKS, WHAT
ELSE DO YOU EXPECT OF HIM IN THE SKY?
People initiate into many secret societies as well as various
forms of diabologies in order to be saved. But instead of
getting salvation, disaster still befalls them. And our Lord
Jesus Christ said, "Whoever believes and is baptized shall be
saved, but whoever is not baptized shall be damned. And
these signs shall follow them that believe. In My name shall
they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues.
13. They shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly
thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick,
and they shall recover." It is as simple as that by coming out
of the water of baptism, these signs follow you. Is there any
of you who is not followed by these signs? It is this issue that
baffles all the inhabitants of the world and that is why they
keep asking the source of power in Brotherhood? But of
a truth, I tell you the moment you believe and are baptized,
these signs shall follow you. You are not charged any money;
neither are you given any other conditions.
What do you think God is? God is the Word, and what is the
Word? The Word is Christ. What is Christ? Christ is Spirit.
What is Spirit? Spirit is Truth, Love, Faith, Peace, Holiness,
Humility, Temperance, Meekness, Power and Joy. He is all
and in all. Tell Me what your problem is? Have you not seen
that Spirit? Has it not come?
It is today that you are going to know the fruits of the Spirit.
So that those who claim to possess the spirit will know their
stand. Church denominations will claim they do not worship
the spirit since they are orthodox churches, believing in the
power of the Holy Spirit. It is today that you will know which
is a spiritual church.
THE FIRST GENTILE CONVERT:
HAVE YOU HEARD THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST EVER
BEAT DRUMS, BURN INCENSE OR LIGHT CANDLES? RIGHT
FROM PETER, TO WHOM THIS MINISTRY WAS HANDED, TO
PAUL AND OTHERS WHO SERVED IN THE MINISTRY, HAVE
YOU HEARD ANY OF THEM BEAT DRUM, BURN INCENSE OR
OR LIGHT CANDLES USED PERFUMERY OR ANY OF ALL THE
OTHER ABOMINABLE ACTS YOU TAKE DELIGHT IN DOING IN
THE NAME OF SPIRITUALISM?
Which spirit is that? When our Lord Jesus Christ had not yet
14. bestowed the spirit on His disciples, He told them not to
enter into the way of the Samaritans but to go to the lost
sheep of Israel. That is to say, without the Holy Spirit the
world would perish. Because when our Lord Jesus Christ
lived in flesh, He had limited functions. He directed the
disciples to the Israelites only. If they entered a house they
would ask if there were any Israelite dwelling there, and they
would attend to only the Israelites. If there were no
Israelites, they would leave. It is exactly what the church
denominations are doing. When they get to a group of people,
they will ask if members of their churches are there. In the
hospital they will ask if their member is there. Such practices
are carnal and not spiritual.
When our Lord Jesus Christ had bestowed the spirit on His
disciples, Cornelius had a dream, and an angel told him that
God had heard his prayer. The angel told him to send
somebody to Joppa to meet one Peter who lodged with Simon
the tanner, and that Peter would tell him what to do. It was
not the spirit directing Cornelius but an angel. Cornelius, the
centurion sent three of his men to Peter. Before the arrival of
the three, the spirit had already informed Peter that three
people were waiting outside for him. Even before the
messengers left to their destination, Peter saw in a trance
how heaven opened and certain vessel descending unto him,
as it had been a great sheet knit at the
four corners and was let down to the earth :wherein were all
manners of four footed animals and other beasts of the earth
and , and wild beast and creeping things, and fowls of the air,
and he was told to kill and eat. But he refused on the excuse
that he had never eaten anything common or unclean. This
action was repeated three times, and the vessel was carried
up. The voice told him that what God hath cleansed, call
15. not thou common. This vision really disturbed him; and as he
was thinking over it, the three men from Cornelius arrived,
the same spirit told him, "Behold, three men seek thee,” and
he went out and saw the three men from Cornelius, who told
him their mission. These men were Gentiles. Remember that
our Lord Jesus Christ had told them not to enter the way of
the Gentiles but these were Gentiles before him. The
situation worried Peter but the Spirit told him to follow them.
Since he walked in the spirit, he had to obey the dictates of
the Spirit. Peter obeyed the spirit and went to Cornelius. On
seeing Peter, Cornelius fell down at his feet, and worshipped
him. But Peter took him up, saying, stand up; myself also am a
man. Peter told him you know that it is unlawful for a Jew to
keep company, or come unto one of another nation. But God
hath shewed me that I should call no man common or
unclean, therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as
soon as I was sent for; I ask therefore for what intent ye have
sent for me? Cornelius narrated the preceding events that led
to this meeting and Peter opened his mouth and told them
about our Lord Jesus Christ, the
Lord of all. Those who were present received the Holy Spirit.
That was the first time in human history the word of God was
extended beyond the Jews. Cornelius was the first Gentile
God revealed Himself to. Without the Holy Spirit, how would
the Word of God spread to other nations?
Note that when the twelve disciples walked with our Lord
Jesus Christ, they were never told to enter into the way of the
Samaritans or of the Gentiles. So when the other eleven
heard that Peter had gone to the Gentiles with the gospel,
they accused Peter of bringing confusion. But when they
gathered, he told them of his vision and what followed, they
were satisfied. That is why it is said that whoever walks in
16. the
spirit does not err. If the spirit tells you to go to Babangida, or
Queen Elizabeth, and inform him or her of these things, go
straight. By doing that there is no mistake and no one can
challenge you.
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS LOVE
Brethren, our confidence is in the Spirit. Wherever the Spirit
directs you, go forth. If the spirit tells you to go and worship
in the Roman Catholic Church, do so. If you are told to go to
the Presbyterian, or Amorc, or any place for that matter, do
not hesitate. There is no discrimination in this Kingdom.
Listen and hearken to the Spirit, in
whatever you are directed. The Spirit does not create
division. With Him there is neither male nor female, young or
old. We have no problems with the Moslems, members of the
Ogboni, Christians. We have no trouble with ghosts, man,
obon, robbers and thieves. What is required of us is to listen
to the spirit in whatever we are told to do. We have no trouble
with whites, or blacks. Since our confidence is in the spirit,
wherever you are sent, go there because the Holy Spirit has
no Bethel.
Remember that when Saul was to go to Damascus to arrest
the followers of our Lord Jesus Christ, he was authorized by
the high priest to arrest and jail anyone who called on the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ. On his way, bright light shone
round about him from heaven, and the voice of the Lord called
on him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said
who art thou Lord? And the voice said; I am Jesus whom thou
persecute.
Saul was struck blind and for three days he did not see. It was
the same Jesus who told him to go to one Ananias. The same
17. Jesus revealed to Ananias about Saul. This shows to you that
the spirit is that of love. He told Ananias to go and pray for
Saul that Saul may receive his sight. Can you see the
situation? On learning the order, Ananias answered, “Lord, I
have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done
to thy saints at Jerusalem. And here he hath authority from
the chief Priests to bind all that call on thy name.” But the
Lord said unto him: Go thy way, for he is a chosen vessel unto
Me, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings, and the
children of Israel. Ananias did not argue but went his way
because he was in the spirit. When he arrived there, he
placed his hands on him and said, Brother Saul, "the Lord,
even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou
carest, hath sent me, thou mayest receive thy sight, and be
filled with the Holy Spirit". And
immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scale; and
he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
Such is the work of the Spirit. YOU DO NOT BEHAVE ANYHOW
YOU LIKE. IT IS OUR DUTY TO DO THIS WORK. IF WE WALK
IN THE SPIRIT, THERE WILL BE NEITHER QUARRELING, NOR
FIGHTING, NOR TROUBLE, NOR CONFLICT BUT LOVE WILL
BE FOUND EVERYWHERE.
2ND LESSON: GALATIANS 5: 22-23
"But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against
such there is no law".
Brethren, have you heard the Scripture? He sent Cornelius to
go to Peter and be told what to do. Peter went to him as he
was also directed. Did Peter beat up Cornelius, or quarrel, or
curse or abuse him? He went and saved him, and converted
Cornelius to become a Christian. He told Ananias to go and
pray for a man called Saul that he may receive his sight.
18. When Ananias went to Saul, did he beat, curse or extort Saul?
In the same manner, if the Father directs you to go to a
certain brother’s house, or to Lagos, and other places, it is
our duty to obey, and serve whoever is concerned with love.
It is the work of grace, mercy, truth, and patience, which has
nothing to do with quarreling, murder, or snatching
somebody’s wife or husband.
OBEY THE DIRECTIVE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
We have no particular Bethel since our functional Bethel is
the Holy Spirit. Thus, the issue of posing as an elder or
prophet in charge of the Bethel does not arise. Your duty is to
listen to the spirit and do what it tells you. Whoever walks in
the spirit is a child of God, but whoever walks in flesh is of
Satan. As at now, members of WAI (War Against Indiscipline)
Brigade had come to help maintain order in the premises,
but it is reported that members of the Youth Fellowship
relentlessly oppose them. Are you the only owner of these
premises? Have they come to kill? They have merely come to
help guard the place. Anybody can come and join hands with
you in the service, as long as the Spirit of God directs them.
AS I AM, IF SOMEBODY COMES TO ME AND SAY THAT HE IS
GOING TO PREACH, I WILL MERELY THANK THE FATHER
AND GET DOWN FOR HIM, KNOWING THAT IT WILL GIVE ME
VACATION. IS IT NOT ONE AND THE SAME THING?
Can you now realize that there is no law here? The Father had
directed all of you, ordained ones, elders, Christ Servants,
Christ Students, and others to guard the premises. If you
cannot do the work, and the Holy Spirit mobilizes another
group of people elsewhere to come and do it, why do you
resist them? On this note, we are not under law but our
confidence is in the Holy Spirit. If the Spirit directs you, obey
19. accordingly. It is the Father who sends you and you are not
under any law. Except in a situation where somebody tells
you that what he does is a personal opinion. In that case, do
not obey. But whatever the spirit tells you, even when
somebody comes to you and says that the Father sends him
to come and pray for you, kneel down and receive the prayer
because it is for your own good.
Now I will tell you a short story. On the 15th of November
1962 two persons called Mandus and Conrad came to Calabar
to heal people. Conrad was Mandus’ son. Posters appeared
throughout this town that they were coming to do wonderful
healing. Certain people arranged for their coming. On arrival
at Calabar, they came to perform their healing in one of the
school rooms of number 34 Ambo Street, Calabar. There was
wide publicity for people to turn up and witness the healing
exercise. While I was still keeping My calm, the Holy Spirit
asked what I was waiting for? He asked whether Conrad’s
action was to imply that God was not to be found in this part
of the world? And finally, He directed Me to go and preach the
gospel to him so that he will know that he came to sit on top
of God.
Brethren, it was wonderful. Though the gospel the Father
gave was very short, it was efficacious as well as inspiring.
And at the end of it, Conrad was invited to perform but he
declared, "it is finished." He was reluctant to even say a
word. It was after much persuasion that he stood up and
made a short speech. Throughout his speech, he was
preaching the Father. Some of you, who were present, could
testify
about the day. All he did was to testify about the Father. Till
today, he is a witness unto Me. Those who spearheaded the
visit, one Mr. Ekpenyong, Akwaowo and Nwabasi later
20. complained that I disgraced them. But I told them that I did
not disgrace them and that the Holy Spirit was at work.
THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS NO BEGINNING AND NO ENDING
Brethren that is why I told you that Brotherhood has neither a
beginning nor an end, because it is the Holy Spirit who directs
everything. If the Holy Spirit has a beginning, know that
Brotherhood has a beginning. When the world was void and
without form, was the Holy Spirit not in existence? He was in
existence and moved upon the face of waters. It is recorded
in Genesis 1: 1-2, that when the world was not, the Holy Spirit
was. Therefore, we have confidence in him. Our boast is in
Him. If He tells you to move, do so. Even the person you claim
is your worst enemy, if the Holy Spirit tells you to go to his
house and greet him, do so and there will be no problem
because by so doing you are taking peace to him. You will
then see that he has brought love to us. He has brought truth,
peace, humility, joy and all good things to us. No evil resides
with the Holy Spirit neither has He ever committed any sin.
Those who walk in the flesh are the trouble -makers.
But all those who walk in the spirit are the children of God.
Even if the Spirit tells you to go and pray for somebody, or
give him vision, or administer treatment to him, or do any
other thing you will argue that you would not go in order that
you may not cause trouble. You have to remember that will
not cause any trouble as long as the Holy Spirit sends you.
OF A TRUTH, THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT A TROUBLEMAKER.
WHILE WE ARE SINGING, IF YOU FIND SOMEBODY WHO
BEGINS TO CRY IN HIS SUPPOSED SPIRITUAL ECSTASY,
THAT IS NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT AT WORK. SUCH CRIES ARE
FROM THE ANTI-CHRIST.
It is a truism that without Brotherhood, people will not
believe in the existence of the Holy Spirit. This is so because
21. the operations of others are far from that of the Holy Spirit. It
is the evil one at work. Therefore, all such groups that call
themselves spiritual churches are not what
they profess to be. This is the only place where the Holy Spirit
is at work. There is no person who comes here and is not
satisfied, or does not see the glory of God.
When somebody tells you that the spirit directs that the two
of you be married, note that it is not the spirit of God. If
somebody tells you that the spirit directs that you should give
forty naira feast, depart from such a person because he is
simply hungry.
Whoever tells you that you are bewitched, and that your
house had been sold to witches and wizards, be patient with
him because it is the flesh and not the Spirit of God. If
somebody comes to tell you that the Spirit has said that you
are a wizard, be patient with him, because that is the flesh
and not the spirit of God. Also, if he ask you to love another
man’s wife, hammering on that continuously, note that it is
not the spirit of God but that of the troublemaker.
Brethren, the situation is now clear. When you go to scatter
somebody’s family and set his household ablaze, you will
claim it is the Holy Spirit. Which spirit do you refer to? You
tell somebody that the Holy Spirit says that if he does not do
certain things he will die. That message is not from the Holy
Spirit because He cannot wish any person death.
The Holy Spirit is life, He is death, He brings into existence
that
which had not been, and cause to cease from existence, that
which existed. If it is the Holy Spirit, He will tell you that life
has been bestowed on you from now on. If He sees you in a
deplorable situation, he will tell you that there is no death for
you, and it will materialize accordingly. If you were a harlot,
22. he will tell you, henceforth,
the Father has changed you, and has given you the Holy
Spirit. This is all he will say rather than saying such
nonsensical things as, you are a thief, your husband is in love
with another woman, let me go and show you, or your wife
has messed up. What sort of spirit is that supposed to be?
You also say your wife charms you, or your husband is
plotting to kill you, that is not the Holy Spirit of God. Do not
listen to such spirit because it is carnal and demonic.
YOU, WHO TOLD OTHERS, "GOD SAID IN SPITE OF ALL THE
GOSPELS PREACHED TO YOU, YOU DO NOT REPENT, I HAVE
FORSAKEN YOU," WHICH GOD SENT YOU? SINCE YOUR
UTTERANCES ARE NONSENSICAL, YOU SHOULD SHUT UP
YOUR MOUTH. WHEN YOU GO TO PRAYER HOUSES AND
HEALING HOMES, YOU WILL HEAR MUCH OF SUCH THINGS.
THAT IS WHY I HAVE ESTABLISHED THOSE PLACES FOR
YOU TO ATTEND SINCE YOU LOVE DELUSION. At midnight
they will arrange for a holy wash. They will wash your heads,
ears and other parts of the body. They will recommend all
sorts of things because that is where they have the
opportunity to do whatever they like. Continue in your arts if
it is beneficial to you.
And those of you, who go about urging others to pay tithe, are
you made tithe collectors for God? Are you sent on a special
mission? Is tithe a human being affair? It is God’s business,
and affects every person. Thus, whoever wishes can pay. But
your visions "send your tithe so that your ailment will be
healed." Is that right? Do you mean that God is so poor that
he needs your money? There is no difference between the
spirit many of you are using here and the one in the world. It
is the same worldly spirit that you operate with. That is why
before Me you can not say those things. All the visioners here
23. are afraid to give visions before Me. If ever they give, they
dance around the question. When they come to you, they will
whisper to your ears that they have some revelations about
you, and would love to say them privately. The interpreter,
Apostle Fabian Obot, is My witness. He was once given a fake
vision,
which, by now, would have made him a good-for-nothing
person. It was while he was on vacation during his days in the
university that he was warned not to return to the university
that if he disobeyed, he would be returned dead. When he ran
to Me, I hushed him up and told him to return boldly and
confidently to school. He went back and victoriously
completed his course and nothing did happen to him.
This war is spiritual. I am fighting with principalities, which
reside in you. Such visioners do not come here during the
Pentecostal period; rather, they go from house to house in
the suburbs to deceive people. If you do not have money now,
you will blame it on a member who has taken you to a native
doctor. Your mind would be troubled and the result would be
fighting in the Bethel. All of you have accused each
other of witchery. The Holy Spirit does not see evil. He does
not see apparition. He does not see witches. He does not see
juju. He does not see any evildoer. There is no male or female
with him and He does not see death. He sees no useless
thing. Since he is good, He always sees, goodness. To him all
things are good. Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself said, “ I use
the Holy Spirit of God to cast away the evil spirit in you.”
As one of our brothers said if one possesses the evil spirit, I
use the Holy Spirit to drive out the evil spirit in you. It is for
these reasons that no matter the sort of spirit a person
possesses, when he comes here, he will be stripped and
clothed with the Holy Spirit. That constitutes our main duty.
24. It is said, come unto me all ye that labor and are heavily laden
and I will give you rest. Go and bring any native doctor, or any
person you think is an evil doer. Bring him here and see if he
will not change instantly. After knowing this, you still come to
tell Me that somebody is a wizard or evil or is fearful. If you
are a fearful person, you will no longer fear. No matter what
you are, you would turn a new leaf. If you are poor, you will no
longer be poor. If you are sickly, your sickness will be cured.
If you are blind, you will receive your sight.
You have heard the testimony of the Enyi 1 of Aba, Brother
Ikonne. He climbed to a great height in the Ogboni society
and was a member of the Rosicrucian Order. He initiated into
various secret societies and also indulged in the preparation
of concoctions. With his position, he had money but could not
even sleep. He was always sacrificing for one reason or the
other. He is now here. All the things he used to do he has
abandoned. Have you not seen him now? He is free and free
for ever. Let our golden text be read:
GOLDEN TEXT: ROMANS 8: 14
"For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are sons of
God."
Have you heard the Scriptures? If the Holy Spirit leads you,
you will not sin. You will be preoccupied with helping,
consoling, comforting, making peace, and transforming
people. These are the characteristics of one who possesses
the Holy Spirit. This is the work many people are doing.
Thousands and one are doing this work. You may not know a
place in Lagos but if God sends you there, you have to go and
do the work.
Our duty is to be alert; to do whatever the spirit tells us. Do
not initiate anything by yourself. Do not walk in the flesh any
25. longer. Do you believe that God can tell somebody who has
not one naira in the house, to pay tithe of N20.00? Can God do
such a thing when He knows that the person has no money?
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN DEMAND N40.00 FROM
YOU TO CONDUCT FEAST AFTER PRAYING FOR YOU? WILL
YOU SAY THAT GOD IS HUNGRY? GOD CANNOT DO SUCH A
THING.
Right now many people have sold their house furniture, some
have even mortgaged certain properties of theirs for the sake
of feast and other things. I have not collected such monies
from you. You are deceiving one another. Also many people
have deserted their homes and have found abode in Bethels
because they were told that certain persons have sold their
premises to witches, who are after their life. These visioners
demand that you build a house for them. If they demand cars,
in what does the Holy Spirit drive? WHEN YOUR SEARCH FOR
A HUSBAND HAS PROVED ABORTIVE, ON SEEING A
HANDSOME MAN, YOU WILL TELL HIM, THE FATHER SAYS,
"WE SHOULD GET MARRIED." THERE IS NO MARRIAGE IN
SPIRIT. MARRIAGE IS AN EARTHLY AFFAIR. I AM TELLING
YOU ALL THIS SO THAT YOU MAY KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN WHAT OBTAINS IN SPIRIT AND IN FLESH. THE
DECEIT IN BROTHERHOOD IS MINIMAL. IF YOU GO TO THE
SPIRITUAL
CHURCHES, YOU WOULD BE BAMBOOZLED. YOU WILL BE
STRIPPED OF ALL YOUR POSSESSIONS TO MEET UP THEIR
DEMANDS AND YOUR WIFE AND CHILDREN WILL BE TAKEN
FROM YOU IN ADDITION.
Brethren, I do not want to be tedious unto you. A stroke of the
cane is sufficient unto
the wise. He who has ears let them hear. May God Bless His
Holy Words. Amen.

27. THE AMALGAMATION OF GOD'S CHILDREN
* I HAVE COME TO CHALLENGE THE WORLD, AND THAT IS
WHY THE NAME BISHOP IS GIVEN TO THEM OTHERWISE I
WOULD HAVE GIVEN THEM AN ENTIRELY NEW NAME.
* NO MATTER THE POSITION THAT YOU ARE OCCUPYING, BE
YOU A CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENT, OR KING, YOUR DUTY IS TO
BRING EVERYBODY TOGETHER. Do not be puffed up because
the truth is that whatever position you are holding is worth
nothing to you other than the recognition it gives you.
* The question now is, are you glorifying God or the Bishops?
BUT I AM TELLING YOU THAT IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE
CROSS AND STAR, ALL GLORIES GO DIRECTLY TO GOD
ALONE. Whatever rank you have here belongs to the Father,
and with this you are free to go anywhere in the world to
serve the Father.
* EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE A BISHOP, PROPHET,
VISIONER, OR EVEN IF YOU CALL YOURSELF JESUS, ONCE
YOU ARE GIVEN TO THIS TENDENCY OF DIVISION, YOU ARE
A WOEFUL SINNER. AND YOU SHOULD COUNT YOURSELF
OUT OF THIS FOLD.
SPIRITUAL FOOD: JOHN 10:6
AND OTHER SHEEP I HAVE WHICH ARE NOT OF THIS FOLD,
THEM ALSO I MUST BRING, AND THEY SHALL HEAR MY
28. VOICE; AND THERE SHALL BE ONE FOLD, AND ONE
SHEPHERD.
WE ARE ALL ONE:
Beloved, it is written in the scripture that a time is
coming when all of us will belong to one flock under one
shepherd. Whatever thing one does he should bear in mind
that we do not have more than one fold and one shepherd.
Disintegration came into the world as a result of the
proliferation of churches and this caused several division
among the children of God. AND BECAUSE BROTHERHOOD
HAD BEEN IN EXISTENCE BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE
WORLD WAS LAID, LOVE IS RESTORED AND THIS MEANS
THE TOTAL AMALGAMATION OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
And so whatever you may be engaged in doing, you should
know that there are other sheep which must be brought into
this fold.
IT IS STATED THAT WISDOM MAKES ONE ARROGANT
BUT LOVE MAKES ONE HUMBLE, AND IT IS THE
EMBODIMENT OF LOVE THAT BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER,
AND THAT UNITY WILL LEAD US TO THE LOVE OF GOD
WHICH THE FATHER IS PERSISTENTLY TEACHING US
ABOUT. WITH THE LOVE OF GOD IN US, WE WILL BE ABLE TO
PRACTICE LOVE, ONE FOR ANOTHER. IMMEDIATELY THIS IS
ACCOMPLISHED WE WOULD BE FREE FROM PROBLEMS. ALL
THAT WE SHOULD DO TO BE SAVED IS FOR US TO ABIDE BY
THE FATHER'S INJUNCTIONS, AND WE SHOULD LIVE
TOGETHER IN UNITY AND IN LOVE, AND HIS LOVE WILL
29. EVER REMAIN WITH US AND WITH THE ENTIRE WORLD. THE
EARTH IS SPHERICAL, AND ALL THINGS THEREIN ARE ONE.
THEREFORE YOU SHOULD ALL BE ONE IN LOVE, BECAUSE
GOD IS NOT PLEASED WHEN THERE IS DISUNITY AMONG
THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD. Whether you are of the
terrestrial, or celestial, aquatic, abyssal domain, or wherever
else you may be, right from January first, nineteen
ninety-five, his love will abide in you and you all will be united
as one fold.
LET THERE BE EQUAL PARTICIPATION:
You are aware that even in your original families, not all
your family members have embraced this kingdom in this
physical plane. The same thing applies to Calabar, Nigeria,
and even the whole of Africa and yet we know that we are
one. We know that the Father in his own time will bring them
through LOVE, PEACE AND TRUTH, MERCY, JOY, ETC. WHAT
IS GOING ON HERE IN THIS FOLD IS NOT POLITICS HENCE,
YOU SHOULD NOT CHALLENGE ANYBODY BY SAYING THAT
BROTHERHOOD IS THE BEST, IT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD,
ETC. Rather you should challenge whoever you want through
your action, by being HUMBLE, PATIENT, LOVING, AND
TRUSTWORTHY.
You are witnesses to the fact that we have different pews for
the Children of God, Christ Students, Christ's Servants,
Christ's Witnesses, Elders, Ordained ones, Spirited children,
Choristers, Men and Women Congregations, etc. This does
not mean that you are different people. You, are all children
30. of God, included in this group called Children of God are those
who are yet to come into this fold. So right from this moment,
you should desist from vain talks and politics because I know
that this is what you are earning a living from.
Let it not be that if you want to collect something from
somebody, instead of you telling the person to give or help
you with that thing you go about using the Father's name
trying to make the other person believe that it is the Father
who wants him to give you such a thing, or to render such a
help to you. If you do this, that is, saying what the Father did
not say, you have committed a dreadful sin. Though the
Father has forgiven you, you should learn to say exactly what
the Father tells you to say, neither adding nor subtracting.
Read 1st Corinthians 11:16-19
"But if any man seem to be contentious we have no such
custom, neither the churches of God. Now in this that I
declare unto you, I praise you not, that ye come together not
for the better, but for the worse. For first of all, when ye come
together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among
you; and I partly believe it. For there must be also heresies
among you, that they which are approved may be made
manifest among you."
A local adage has it that: "When one sees the corpse
tears roll down one's cheeks." Also, if you do not see thieves
with your eyes, you will not know whether stealing is a good
or a bad thing. You will find in the above text that what you
31. are practicing here is outside the doctrine of Brotherhood.
Elders performing their own function, separately from others,
likewise the Ordained ones, Children of God, Choristers, etc.
And the worst of all is that you do not even regard those
outside as belonging to the fold of humanity. BUT IF YOU
WERE TO PRACTICE BROTHERHOOD IN EARNEST, YOU
WOULD KNOW THAT IRRESPECTIVE OF THE PEW IN WHICH
YOU FIND YOURSELF, YOU ARE ALL FROM THE SAME
FATHER, YOU SHOULD COME TOGETHER AND PARTICIPATE
EQUALLY IN ALL EXERCISES. ALSO IT IS YOUR DUTY TO GO
OUTSIDE AND BRING THE SHEEP INTO THE FOLD. Beloved,
the reference text quoted above is my witness that such acts
are not tenable here, irrespective of whatever status you may
have.
THERE IS NO RESTRICTION IN ONENESS:
EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE A BISHOP, PROPHET,
VISIONER, OR EVEN IF YOU CALL YOURSELF JESUS, ONCE
YOU ARE GIVEN TO THIS TENDENCY OF DIVISION, YOU ARE
A WOEFUL SINNER. AND YOU SHOULD COUNT YOURSELF
OUT OF THIS FOLD. This is because Brotherhood enjoins you
to cause no division. The Father ordained the Bishops not for
their own glory, but only for the glory of God, and only as
elders in the fold, for his services. They are not elders for
different states as you understand them to be, and so you
give them different religious functions to perform. Such
practices are not obtainable here in this kingdom. They are
32. expected to work as a team and in any part of the world,
without segregation or restriction.
Imagine how you have given them separate seats and you
always order people to get out when they go near these
Bishop's seats. The question now is, are you glorifying God or
the Bishops? BUT I AM TELLING YOU THAT IN
BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR, ALL GLORIES GO
DIRECTLY TO GOD ALONE. Whatever rank you have here
belongs to the Father, and with this you are free to go
anywhere in the world to serve the Father. This is because
there is no restriction of movement for whoever is in this fold.
Go in to the world and bring them so that there may be one
flock since there is ONLY ONE SHEPHERD.
THERE IS JOY IN HARMONY:
What is it that brought problems to Adam and Eve? An
adage has it that, "A child who does not stay nearer to the
Father does not know what the Father likes." It is now that I
have realized that you are gathering here for nothing. You do
not know what Brotherhood is. You go about boasting about
the practices of Brotherhood but if you are asked to come
and do what you are saying, you find it difficult because you
are ignorant of it. You are so arrogant when you have to
perform anything, and you claim to be above other persons,
but I am telling you, none is above the other person, for
whoever is above another is a sinful being. YOU SHOULD
33. RATHER HUMBLE YOURSELF, BE LOVING, PEACEFUL AND
JOYFUL, ETC. ONCE YOU SEE SOMEONE CLAIMING TO BE
THE GREATEST YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT SUCH A PERSON
HAS DERAILED FROM THE TRUE PATH OF GOD.
A man of God is a good mixer, and people always
surround him because his behavior attracts them. Whoever
knows the right thing to do will never wait until he is asked or
invited to do it. Read Titus 3:7-11. This would bring to your
knowledge the problem in causing division.
"That being justified by grace, we should be made heirs
according to the hope of eternal life. This is a faithful saying,
and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they
which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good
works. These things are good and profitable unto men. But
avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions,
and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and
vain. A man that is an heretic, after the first and second
admonition, reject; knowing that he that such is subverted,
and sinneth, be condemned of himself."
Our Lord Jesus Christ came to the world because of this
problem of disunity, and in order to eradicate it, He had to
shed His precious blood. This is so that you do away with the
spirit of division for what is needed here is ABIDING
TOGETHER IN LOVE. Even the Bishops would have enjoyed
more than they are enjoying now if they were to live in
harmony with everybody. And if this should be the case, why
then do you create a separate seat for them. I HAVE COME TO
34. CHALLENGE THE WORLD, AND THAT IS WHY THE NAME
BISHOP IS GIVEN TO THEM OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE
GIVEN THEM AN ENTIRELY NEW NAME. That name is just for
formality but their behavior is what is needed. You have seen
how I do my own things, for the sake of peace and harmony.
ONE FLOCK, ONE SHEPHERD:
There are other sheep outside which I want to bring in
order that there will be one flock under one shepherd. At
anytime you observe division is penetrating your midst, pray
fervently lest you fall away from the glory of God. I am saying
this to make you ashamed of yourself, so that you will retrace
your steps back to godliness. Most of you are fond of pointing
out those who are not good. But I am telling you that NOBODY
HAS MADE YOU A JUDGE IN THIS KINGDOM. Such acts are
not even needed here.
You can see that wherever there is division, such a place
cannot stand because there is no love in such a place. NO
MATTER THE POSITION THAT YOU ARE OCCUPYING, BE YOU
A CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENT, OR KING, YOUR DUTY IS TO
BRING EVERYBODY TOGETHER. Do not be puffed up because
the truth is that whatever position you are holding is worth
nothing to you other than the recognition it gives you. YOU
SHOULD THEREFORE HUMBLE YOURSELF. YOU MUST BE
TOTALLY HUMBLE WHEREVER YOU GO, FOR IN SO DOING
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO BRING THE FLOCK UNDER ONE
SHEPHERD. Even when you go to stay in someone's house
your behavior will tell exactly who you are. For instance, one
35. brother Igwe went to Lagos to buy a car. On reaching there,
the person whom he wanted to buy the car from was
attracted by his good behavior and so this gentleman who is
also the car sales man pleaded with Brother Igwe to
accompany him to Calabar to see the Father, so he can know
exactly what Brotherhood is all about. This he did because he
is one of the sheep outside and through Brother Igwe's good
character, he was brought in here for the fulfillment of what
is said in the scripture: ONE FLOCK, ONE SHEPHERD.
A stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise, let he who
has ears, hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen.
THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
