Meet the most amazing Man! He became like us so we could become like Him. One short, simple prayer could be the beginning of a whole new life that's more wonderful than anything you ever imagined.
When asked how to inherit eternal life, Jesus emphasized the holiness of God rather than just His love. He reminded the rich young ruler of God's commandments, which the man claimed to have followed since youth. However, Jesus showed that the man's wealth came before obedience to God, revealing he lacked a full understanding of God's character. True knowledge of God recognizes Him as the sovereign standard of goodness who demands perfect holiness and judges all sin. Preaching only of God's love risks leaving sinners unaware of their offense against His holiness and justice. The Gospel must proclaim both God's love and wrath to properly convey His true nature and humanity's need for salvation.
This document contains a collection of Bible passages and teachings from the Leader Olumba Olumba Obu of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. It discusses the importance of abiding in truth and avoiding sin. Several passages warn of "false brethren" who claim to follow Christ but do not obey his teachings. The Leader emphasizes living according to the teachings of the Holy Spirit rather than identifying as a member of any church. He advises choosing partners who share one's way of life and character, and spreading the teachings about God that have been revealed to members.
The document discusses the negative effects of being in debt bondage, including pain, curse, and allowing the spirit of debt to take control of one's life. It describes how the spirit of debt blinds, deafens, chokes, and binds those in its grip, hindering their ability to hear from God and move forward financially. The key is to understand how debt works as an enemy before beginning to battle getting out of it supernaturally through faith and God's provision.
God has promised that the Church’s victory is sure in the midst of tribulation and that Christ’s return is sure for the PERFECTION of Old and New Testament Saints TOGETHER through resurrection into Messianic Glory.

The document discusses various teachings of Jesus that some considered "hard sayings" because they were difficult to accept or obey. It provides context and commentary for passages where Jesus' disciples, or others, struggled with His words. The document suggests that when physical interests outweigh spiritual priorities, the Lord's teachings seem harsh. It examines sayings around marriage, family relationships, the exclusivity of Christ, and the need to glorify God with one's body and spirit. Ultimately it questions whether any saying of Jesus should prevent obedience, given what He sacrificed to save humanity.

Paul states the following in Rom 1:18-20 18 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: "..KJV

This document analyzes a passage from the Bible where Jesus tells a rich young ruler to sell all his possessions and give to the poor in order to inherit eternal life. It summarizes that the ruler had misplaced trust in his wealth and status rather than God. Jesus tells him he must abandon his wealth and self-righteousness through faith in Jesus alone. When the ruler refuses due to being wealthy, Jesus says it is very hard for the wealthy to enter heaven. However, with God all things are possible. The document reassures that those who follow Jesus will receive greater rewards both in this life and the afterlife.
Biblical Faith is trust in the Sovereignty of God;
surrender to the Lordship of Christ;
obedience to the Word of God;
willingness to sacrifice for the Kingdom of God;
determination to seek first the Kingdom of God;
following in the steps of Christ;
putting Biblical duty first;
courage to overcome our fears;
boldness to obey God in spite of all opposition;
perseverance in spite of setbacks;
and discernment as to what is that good, acceptable and perfect Will of God (Romans 12:2).
The document discusses the journey of human life from conception to death. It notes that God forms each person in the womb and knows them from the beginning. While children are born sinless, humans later turn away from God and sin by disobeying his commands. The heart is identified as the source of sinful thoughts and deeds. The document warns that all will be judged for their words and actions, so people should remember God while young before facing difficulties in old age.
This document contains a sermon from Leader Olumba Olumba Obu discussing how to seek God's glory above all else. It provides several examples from the Bible of how Jesus sought God's glory rather than his own. It emphasizes that the only true glory and reward comes from God, and that if believers follow God's teachings, they will share in his glory and reign with him eternally. The document encourages focusing on revealing God to others through love and obedience to his commands, rather than seeking positions, wealth or glory in this world.

This document contains a sermon urging repentance from sin and righteousness. It emphasizes that one must exceed the righteousness of religious leaders to enter God's kingdom. Several bible passages are cited warning that sin will be judged and only righteousness leads to salvation. The sermon repeatedly stresses the need to repent from sins like greed, lust, dishonesty and live righteously to avoid God's wrath and inherit eternal life.
The document discusses the importance of living according to the gospel and avoiding unbelief, idolatry, and disobedience. It emphasizes that true faith involves submitting one's entire life to God as citizens of his kingdom. Suggestions are provided for growing in knowledge of God and Jesus Christ through prayer, studying scripture, and obedience.
This document provides a summary of how God has guided his people throughout biblical history by pointing his finger. It discusses instances from the Old Testament where God's finger was pointed, such as at Adam and Eve after the fall, at Noah to build the ark, and at Abram to leave his family and follow God. The document then focuses on the story of Lot, who separated from Abram and settled in Sodom and Gomorrah, which were sinful cities. God later rescued Lot and his family from those cities. The document suggests God continues to point his finger to guide people today.
This document discusses the importance of selfless service and being charitable to those in need. Some key points:
- One must be faithful in serving others to inherit what is their own from God. If one is not charitable, how can they expect to receive blessings?
- Jesus teaches that when hosting others, one should invite the poor, disabled, and disadvantaged who cannot repay the favor. Service to those in need will be rewarded at the resurrection of the just.
- True servants of God render help and healing freely without charge. They are not "hirelings" but give out of sincere care for others. One must be one's "brother's keeper" through selfless acts of kindness to

This document discusses God's prophetic agenda to humble mankind through financial hardship. It asserts that God will use economic crises to humble the proud and bring people to acknowledge Him. While the world will experience humiliation, God's people will be exalted and experience divine provision. Examples from the Bible like Joseph in Egypt and Jesus feeding the 5000 are provided. The document argues that God will supernaturally provide for and exempt His people from worldwide lack during difficult times. Believers are encouraged to position themselves to reflect God's glory when darkness covers the earth.
God and the Devil, Dichotomy, God-fearing heart, who is big between the dev...franktsao4
When something bad happens in the world, Christians will say that this is a thing done by the devil, but is it really the case? Is it the problem caused by the person's own behavior?
Why becomes this way, it’s because everyone says that God is love, then what is love? According to the definition of the worldly love, everything should be nice, and it will never be thought to have anything to do with disasters.
So if God cause this disaster, then, it’s hard to justify it. So we say that all these bad things are the actions of the devil and have nothing to do with Jesus Christ or God. In this way, if we teach others to believe in God, then there is no problem at all. Because God is like a Santa Claus in the eyes of the world. You can ask him for any gift, and he will give it to you with no hesitation.

Hagin about an upcoming mighty move of God's Spirit and the emergence of a "new breed" of believers who will rise up strong in faith and do exploits. It also shares a message from Kenneth Copeland about the greatest outpouring of God's Spirit and two key areas of revelation - prosperity and God's love. Copeland feels revealing God's love through every available medium is crucial and received a commission from God to establish a place overwhelmed by love that will bring revival everywhere through radio, television, and resolving conflicts.
Brochure - NEW REVELATION - Divine advices concerning the right social order ...Simona P
The document discusses proper social order and concepts like private property, charity, and money from discussions between Jesus and others in the New Testament. Jesus argues that true faith and trust in God is more important than wealth, and that private property and money are acceptable only if used to help others in need rather than for selfish purposes. Communities should prioritize brotherly love and caring for the poor.
The document contains multiple passages from the Bible and commentaries. It discusses offering oneself as a living sacrifice to God; withstanding unjust criticism by trusting God and overlooking insults; praying for strength rather than escape from difficult situations; God's intimate knowledge of us and working all things for good; seeing God's intended shape for our lives in Jesus; and accomplishing great tasks with God's help despite obstacles.

The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
The Power of Actions Slideshow by: Kal-elKal-el Shows
This message, “The Power of Actions”, emphasizes just how powerful moving actions are and gives us strong actions of advice as to how we use to do with actions.
ACTIONS is EVERYTHING! They bless or they curse, lift up or known down,
embrace it or unbrace it!
Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

The Book of Revelation, filled with symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, presents one of its most striking visions in Revelation 9:3-12—the locust army. Understanding the significance of this locust army provides insight into the broader themes of divine judgment, protection, and the ultimate triumph of God’s will as depicted in Revelation.
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.
God calls us to a journey of worshiping Him. In this journey you will encounter different obstacles and derailments that will want to sway you from worshiping God. You got to be intentional in breaking the barriers staged on your way of worship in order to offer God acceptable worship.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

In his search towards reality or the unchanging fundamental unit of this universe, a scientist started with the external gross world of solid matter which is simple and easy to see, divide, and do experiments with.
This search led him through steps of understanding of this entire world of matter starting from elements, molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons;
He further understood that it is all packets of energy.
The atoms conglomerate together to form various chemicals; our body is therefore a permutation and combination of various chemicals. (Packets of energy in various configurations) When they join together they form molecules, cells, tissues organs, etc.
These follow certain well defined laws of nature and are controlled by nervous (electrical) and chemical (hormones) mechanisms to bring about movement and action in each and every cell.
Thus annamaya kosha is the physical frame which the grossest of the five Koshas.

THE UNKNOWN TRUTH REVEALED
HISTORY OF BROTHERHOOD
Who would have believed that Brotherhood would
survive till date, since its physical establishment on
earth between 1966-1968? This period, you may
recall, was the time when Nigeria was in complete
confusion. But God, in his infinite mercy, having
viewed the situation, decided to reconstruct Nigeria
by bringing Brotherhood into-existence. Therefore, be
humble, give up thoughts about yourself and allow
God to take proper control of you, for there is no
benefit in any of the canal things.

SINCERELY BELIEVE THAT GOD IS THE CAUSE AND EFFECT
OF EVERYTHING.
* Therefore, henceforth; no longer regard anybody as the
course of your problems; BECAUSE YOUR DIFFICULTIES ARE
THE RESULTANT EFFECT OF YOUR REFUSAL TO HEARKEN
TO THE WORDS OF GOD.
* Often times, you tend to blame the Israelites for not being
faithful or not worshipping God. What is the case today that
he is found in your midst; DO YOU ACCEPT HIM OR ABIDE BY
HIS INJUNCTIONS? DO YOU POSSESS LOVE AND EXPRESS
IT FOR ONE ANOTHER? IT SHOULD BE REALIZED THAT,
HATRED, BACKBITING, DEATH AND OTHER EVIL PRACTICES
WILL CEASE TO BE, ONCE YOU POSSESS LOVE.
* THERE SHALL BE A GREAT TRIBULATION ON THE
JUDGEMENT DAY FOR THE RECALCITRANTS AND REBELS-THOSE

4. GOLDEN TEXT: MATTHEW 11:27
And all things are delivered unto me of my father:
and no man knoweth the son, but the father, neither
knoweth any man the father, save the son, and to
whomsoever the son will reveal him.
THE DIVINE PANACEA:
Beloved, has the above text not revealed what this
kingdom entails? The gospel as put before you, is
self-explanatory. Undoubtedly, this gospel is delivered today
because of the immense love of God. It is a gospel, panacea
to your entire problems. Therefore, henceforth; no longer
regard anybody as the course of your problems; because your
difficulties are the resultant effect of your refusal to hearken
to the words of God. You cannot accomplish any task if the
father does not give you the ability to do so. And so you can
only successfully abide by his words and put them into
practice when he gives you the ability.
A REPEAT OF HISTORY:
We are conversant with the details about the mass
exodus of the children of Israel from Egypt, and the hectic
journey experienced in order to magnify the word of God.
Those who have been to Israel can approximately estimate
the long distance between Egypt and Canaan.
However, the Israelites viewed it as an unavoidable task, and
accomplished it within a period of forty years. Often times,
you tend to blame the Israelites for not being faithful or not
worshipping God. WHAT IS THE CASE TODAY, THAT HE IS
FOUND IN YOUR MIDST; DO YOU ACCEPT HIM OR ABIDE BY
5. HIS INJUNCTIONS? DO YOU POSSESS LOVE AND EXPRESS
IT FOR ONE ANOTHER? IT SHOULD BE REALIZED THAT,
HATRED, BACKBITING, DEATH AND OTHER EVIL PRACTICES
WILL CEASE TO BE, ONCE YOU POSSESS LOVE.
You will now agree that what happened among the Israelites
is exactly what is happening today in your midst. Do people
not still expect him to crash land from the sky even after
several years of his manifestation? In the time of the
Israelites, the prophecy by the prophets about our Lord Jesus
Christ manifested with exactness. John, who was Elijah
reincarnate, came before our Lord Jesus Christ, yet the
people did not accept him; let alone abiding by his words. Is
the happening today not a similar situation, what is the
difference? It is certain that there would have been peace
and stability everywhere if the entire world had accepted the
love of God.
GOD: SUM-TOTAL OF EXISTENCE
Clearly stated, there is no juju, witch, mermaid, man and
angel, but only God exists. Also, there is no such thing like
sin, mistake and lamentation, for the sum total of existence
is the handiwork of God. Therefore, do not bother yourself
about any occurrence, for everything unfolds according to
the divine directives of God. On this account, it is stated that,
no one knows the father except the Son; and no one knows
the Son except the Father, and to whomsoever the son may
reveal him. This confirms the fact that the Father is the Sole
doer of everything. It further confirms the aphorism that only
the King knows the Secret of his kingdom.
6. Brethren, it is unnecessary to force anybody to serve God, for
he has manifested to serve himself and establish his
rulership. Let all your sufferings be attributed to him, and do
not give the glory meant for God to anybody. Rejoice, for he
has come to reign with you till eternity.
SPIRITUAL CHORUS:
IF THE LORD DOES NOT GIVE APPROVAL, NO STRAND OF
HAIR WOULD FALL OFF HIS CHILDREN'S HEAD.
GOD: THE CAUSE AND EFFECT
God does his things as it pleases him. So, do not
attribute any happening to ghost, mermaid or juju. The bible
clearly states; "to whom much is given, much is expected".
Henceforth, believe that every occurrence receives due
authority or approval from God.
SPIRITUAL CHORUS:
"DO NOT LAUGH AT ANYONE WHO IS BESIEGED BY A
MISFORTUNE".
Do not mock at or laugh at somebody when misfortune
befalls him. Do not condemn anybody. Be humble, for God has
come, not to depart anymore, but to rule with us eternally.
Therefore, at all times, allow God to reflect in your works,
services and plans. Allow him to direct and control your
activities so that it may be well with you. FURTHERMORE,
YOU SHOULD BE SATISFIED THAT HE HAS COME FOR US,
AND IS RICHLY FOUND IN US. FINALLY, SINCERELY BELIEVE
THAT GOD IS THE CAUSE AND EFFECT OF EVERYTHING.
7. THE ESTABLISHMENT OF BROTHERHOOD:
Who would have believed that Brotherhood would
survive till date, since its physical establishment on earth
between 1966-1968? This period, you may recall, was the
time when Nigeria was in complete confusion. But God, in his
infinite mercy, having viewed the situation, decided to
reconstruct Nigeria by bringing Brotherhood into-existence.
Therefore, be humble, give up thoughts about yourself and
allow God to take proper control of you, for there is no benefit
in any of the canal things.
Believe only in God, for he is the absolute hope for all. Do not
hate, persecute, begrudge anybody or exhibit any destructive
acts against anybody.
No other thing apart from brotherly love is required, because
that is what I have come with, to give to you.
Beloved, a stroke of cane is sufficient for the wise. Let he
who have ears hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the
entire world. May God bless his holy word - Amen.

POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC UNREST:
THE ALMIGHTY AND EVERLASTING GOD.
Read Matthew 24:1-end. Beloved do you comprehend the
Biblical excerpt above? Now that you preoccupy your mind
with material acquisition, do you think you are ready for the
kingdom of God? THERE SHALL BE A GREAT TRIBULATION
ON THE JUDGEMENT DAY FOR THE RECALCITRANTS AND
REBELS- THOSE WHO REJECT GOD’S INJUNCTIONS AND
ALWAYS GO CONTRARY TO GOD’S DIRECTIVES. But for the
8. fact that the day was shortened because of the elects of God,
no one would have escaped the wrath of God on that day.
At the moment, there is no money in the treasury of the
Government of Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, among other third
world countries. Things have gone haywire and life has
become very difficult everyday in the world. And people are
attributing the hardship to high cost of fuel. But the question
is, if fuel is supplied to people freely now, would things return
to normal? Prices of things in the markets have sky-rocketed
so much so that a common man can no longer make ends
meet. You would want to know the cause of such things. Are
teachers, policemen, among other government workers being
paid? Are schools in session for some time now in most local
government areas in Nigeria today? A LOT HAVE BEEN DONE
TO SEE THAT A GOOD DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT IS
ESTABLISHED IN DIFFERENT NATIONS BUT THIS IS A
FRUITLESS EFFORT. Some nations are attributing their
problems and inability to do this to certain people. These
classes of people are ignorant about the word of God as
recorded in the above excerpt.
This is not the time for people to marry or be given in
marriage. It is a difficult thing to maintain oneself because of
the high cost of living and to talk about maintaining others is
suicidal. This is indeed the time for people to try to
consecrate themselves to God. Never you joke with this time,
for it is not a simple period. Very many people have denied
God and some have become fed up with God’s services. That
is why you do not embark on ministry work again with ease.
People are now fed up with prayers. I am telling you that at
the fullness of time, churches, prayer houses, schools,
governments shall be closed down. AND EVERYONE SHALL
CONGREGATE AT BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR.

THE NIGERIAN CIVIL WAR COULD HAVE BECOME A THIRD
WORLD WAR:
AS A CAPTAIN, I CANNOT ALLOW MY CREW TO PERISH.
I am giving you this word so that you may stand firm.
Our Lord Jesus Christ said that it is not those who call me
Lord, Lord, who will enter the kingdom of God... DO NOT
LOOK AT ANY CHURCH, BISHOP OR PASTOR ETC.
Any person who does not reject himself will never find
himself. During the Nigerian civil war, no church in the
whole neighborhood of 26 Mbukpa Steet rang its bell or
carried out any religious activities.
I called Senior Sister Mong as a witness. All churches
around here have all been judged. They all ran into hiding
and only BCS was steadfast- keeping prayer services and
divine services.
When the captain of the ship runs away, the crew will
perish. Is that not so? AS A CAPTAIN, I CANNOT ALLOW MY
CREW TO PERISH. The various churches were all asking
about Leader O.O. Obu and they would be told He was there
with His family. One day when the heat of the war was
burning intensely, I slept in the alter and I said, "Father do thy
work." If I had run away, the Nigerian Civil War would have
turned into a Third World War.
DO NOT ENTERTAIN FEAR:
10. Since three or four crusaders went to Cameroon
Republic they were arrested and detained. After judging
them, no other BCS member has ever made an attempt to go
to Cameroon for Evangelism, except those who go there to
smuggle and steal. The same thing is happening in Liberia.
If not for the Father who sent one brother Ugochukwu alone
to visit Liberia. Even here at home, see Biakpan, who has
ever made an attempt visit there since the misunderstanding
ensued there last year. Everyone sits before the Father only
to work on hearsay. (Luke 17:3-4).
Listen to the promise of God, so that you will compare
that with all the will of our heart and all that we requested.
If you listen to the promises of God you are the children of
Light right from creation, YOU ARE AWARE OF THE FACT
THAT IF THE WORLD HAD LISTENED TO OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST THERE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ANY TROUBLE IN
THE WORLD.
Heaven and earth shall pass away but this promise
abides forever. Our Lord Jesus Christ said, " This generation
shall not pass away until everything is fulfilled..." He also said
that when we see these signs we should know that the time
is neigh.
I reveal this to you because a good number of you do not
know where you are. A lot of you come in here to look for
women, men and wealth. You seek for political elections
and from there you lose your lives.
I know that if you were told to put in your request, you
will definitely ask God to make you presidents of any country,
forgetting all about the will of God and that His reign is
forever. (Matthew 19:28-29).
11. Satan stamps his feet that and man also stamps his feet
that God will never rule and there is nothing like God. This is
why the children of God fall from righteousness.
This government is His and anything that does not bow
down before him shall be uprooted.
THE UNOPPOSED GOVERNMENT:
The war of Armageddon you have been hearing about is
what you are witnessing in the world. It started long ago,
right from the reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ, we are still
waging this war. This is the time to join hand together and
fight this war.
He promised to ordain us kings and queens. We will
rule with Him forever. I do not want anyone's money. I
want this government which has no beginning and no end. It
will give you eternal life. This government of BCS is the one
that has no opposition.
FORNICATORS WILL BE WOUNDED:
I weep for you but you do not know what is going on. If
you come to BCS to look for wives be very careful else you
will be wounded. HE IS HERE, THE FATHER, THE SON AND
THE HOLY SPIRIT. (READ ISSIAH 63, REVELATION 19).
YOU WILL SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THOSE WHO SAY
“ I WILL NEVER WORSHIP OLUMBA." BE WATCHFUL. (REV.
17:14).
GO INTO THE WORLD AND SEE THE HOLY FATHER
MANIFESTING. YOU HERE DO NOT KNOW LEADER O.O.
OBU, BUT OUTSIDERS DO. HAS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
NOT WON? HE HAS. ALL THOSE WHO GO ABOUT SAYING
ALL ODD THINGS ABOUT BCS YOU WILL SEE WHAT WILL
HAPPEN TO THEM.
Now tell me why is it that you are not stable? Has God
not revealed these things to you? If any of you has anything
12. diabolical on him, he should drop it else you will see what is
going to happen in a very little while. I do not want anyone
to like me. I am satisfied with what God has done for me.

THE HOLY SPIRIT LEADS:
* I AM TELLING YOU THIS SO THAT YOUR EYES MAY BE
OPENED BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR SOMEONE TO
DECEIVE YOU THAT HE IS JESUS, JEHOVAH OR THE CHRIST.
IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO TEACHES EVERYTHING AND
THERE IS NO OTHER TEACHER
* IF SOMEBODY COMES TO YOU WITH A NEW GOD FROM
AMERICA, TELL HIM TO FOLLOW HIS AMERICAN GOD AND
THAT YOU ARE FOLLOWING AFTER THE HOLY SPIRIT. If
someone comes out and claims to be anything, know that he
is nothing.
Africans Do Not Know How To Order Their Priorities
God is omnipotent and omniscient. All Powers belong to the
Holy Spirit. He is all wise and is in everything. Right now that
the Holy Spirit has revealed Himself, we must worship God in
spirit and in truth. He is love and patience, truth and mercy;
He is everything and so there should be no distinction
between the whites and the blacks, the young and the old.
Since charity begins at home, we the Africans should know
ourselves. We should reason among ourselves. WE ARE
CARRYING THE CARCASS OF AN ELEPHANT ON OUR HEADS
BUT FIDDLING WITH OUR FEET TO SEARCH FOR SNAILS.
HOW MUCH WILL THE SNAIL FETCH US? The whites
introduced the school systems, the churches and their
civilization to you. They have done well. That is their own
contribution. RIGHT NOW THE BLACKS SHOULD INTRODUCE
TO THEM THE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH IS LOVE, TRUTH,
14. ONENESS, HUMILITY AND GOODNESS. IT IS THE TURN OF
THE BLACK MAN TO UNIFY THE WHOLE WORLD SO THAT
THERE SHOULD BE NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE JEWS
AND THE GREEKS. He has said that those who were not his
people, He shall call his people and to her that was not His
beloved, He shall call His beloved. (Rom 9:25). Africans were
neither His people nor his beloved, but today God says to
Africans "you are my people." And so Africans must rise up
and unite.
The Turn Of The Blacks
In all institutions or establishments, it was the white man
who was at the head. No white man worked under the black
but today the reverse is true. The mandate is to unify the
whole world so that there should be no distinction. The
whites know this and they have accepted the new turn. They
do not involve themselves in the foolishness which the
blacks indulge, arguing that they cannot worship a human
being. They know that this is what has been ordained and so
they have to accept it. However, they now turn round and
instigate you not to accept Brotherhood. Brotherhood has
already been established and there is no need for any
indoctrination. It is not something you have to search for.
THE COMFORTER IS HERE TO TEACH YOU LOVE. THIS IS
NOT THE TIME FOR CARNAL CHURCH DENOMINATIONS. IT
IS THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO LEADS IN EVERYTHING. THE HOLY
SPIRIT COMES FROM HEAVEN, AND HE IS EVERYTHING TO
EVERY MAN.
He said that the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth which the
Father shall send in my name, He shall teach you all things.
What does He teach us? What is He like? Is the Holy Spirit
white or black or colored. Is He tall or short or deformed? I
AM TELLING YOU THIS SO THAT YOUR EYES MAY BE
15. OPENED BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR SOMEONE TO
DECEIVE YOU THAT HE IS JESUS, JEHOVAH OR THE CHRIST.
IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO TEACHES EVERYTHING AND
THERE IS NO OTHER TEACHER. IF SOMEBODY COMES TO
YOU WITH A NEW GOD FROM AMERICA, TELL HIM TO
FOLLOW HIS AMERICAN GOD AND THAT YOU ARE
FOLLOWING AFTER THE HOLY SPIRIT. If someone comes out
and claims to be anything, know that he is nothing. It is the
Holy Spirit who teaches us everything and it is today that we
want to know what the Holy Spirit looks like. It was said that
all shaky things shall be taken away. Roman Catholicism has
a beginning. Islam has a beginning. Hinduism has a
beginning, the Bahai faith and other faiths and cults have
their beginnings; but the Holy Spirit has neither the beginning
nor the end.
The Kingdom Of Jehovah God And His Christ Has Come
The Holy Spirit has come for Nigeria, for Africa for the
Western world and for the whole world. The Holy Spirit has
come for the fishes in the water, the animals in the field, the
birds and every created thing. The Holy Spirit does not come
from Nigeria or Africa or Europe. He comes from heaven and
it is the Kingdom of God which you pray for in the Lord's
Prayer: "Lord let thy Kingdom Come". He has taken dominion
over the whole world. Now is the time for all of us to comply
with His teachings. Do not waste your time establishing a
church or a prayer house. We should be attentive to the Holy
Spirit because it is said that He shall teach us all things. This
is the time for both young and old to know Him.
Only The Holy Spirit Leads
We now want to know if his teaching means Roman
Catholicism or Protestantism or any other faith or religion or
16. government or society. It is said that in the end there shall be
one flock under one Shepherd.

DO NOT QUESTION. FORGET ABOUT IT, DO NOT SEEK FOR
RECOGNITION; GOD WILL RAISE YOU UP. IF YOU ARE NOT
REMEMBERED BY MAN, GOD WILL SURELY REMEMBER YOU.
* BROTHERHOOD CANNOT BE RECOGNIZED CARNALLY
THIS INSTRUCTION IS FOR ME, IT IS FOR YOU AND FOR THE
ENTIRE WORLD. A GREAT MANY PEOPLE FEEL THAT THE
LEADER NEITHER SEES NOR HEARS NOR HAS CONSCIENCE
NOR CAN DO ANYTHING WHATEVER. THIS IS ERRONEOUS.
WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT WE ARE FOLLOWING THE
INSTRUCTIONS OF THE FATHER.
First Bible Lesson: James 4:10
17. "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift
you up."
Brethren, have you heard what is read unto you? You who
promise not to agree with whatever somebody says, have you
heard what is read unto you? Those of you who are arrogant,
have you heard that? Those of you who try to help yourselves,
have you heard that? Those of you who are self-conceited,
have you heard it?
LET HUMILITY OVER-RIDE YOUR OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
It is not he who saves himself that is saved but he who
surrenders his life. If per chance somebody collects your
belongings in an extortionate way, you hand it over to God. If
you are cursed, abused or your character defamed, if you do
not retort, the Father will repay you. I have taught you that
even in your families, you should not bother about anything.
Take the least position, as a very sinful person. Wherever you
are invited, take the least seat. Do not seek for a place on the
high table but choose the lowest.
Brethren, if we practice this Gospel which tells us, "Humble
yourself in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up,” we
will see it work like magic. Put it to test and you will realize
how you will be exalted.
The reason behind buying glamorous dresses, living in
imposing houses and seeking for position is that you may be
recognized. Have you been recognized? All this time you have
been quarrelling for positions. Do you have these positions? If
you should know that you are ever before God: in your house
and everywhere would you not have humbled yourself before
Him?
ALLOW THE WILL OF GOD TO REIGN SUPREME
18. This promise is an eternal covenant. You have observed it
even here in Brotherhood. Have you ever heard or witnessed
us saying there should be rain or that there should be no rain?
It is an insult. Have you ever heard us pray that somebody
should not be sick or that God should not allow our enemies
to ask where is that your God? Have you heard us say that a
particular thing should happen and not the other? It amounts
to vainglory, pomposity and arrogance. Have you ever heard
us murmur against God or questioning why He should do one
thing and not the other?
What is required of us by God is absolute humility. He will not
fail to lift you up if, from this night, you humble yourself and
become like a fool, even in your pattern of life, the way you
speak with reverence to God, and give Him glory. When you
are walking, march the ground as if it belongs to your father,
you ought to walk carefully.
Whatever you are engaged in, do not behave as if there is
nobody, because there is somebody. When you are thinking,
do not be so high-minded as if you are the only cock to crow.
Always be thoughtful of the fact that God is in existence, and
give Him glory. When you are speaking, say nothing
unseemly. Speak with gentleness and lowliness of heart,
knowing that God is in existence. When you exalt yourself, He
will debase you.
ONLY GOD LIFTS YOU UP
There were events in the life of Our Lord Jesus Christ that
would have caused Him to speak and raise His voice, but can
you notice how He behaved? In the midst of tribulation and
death, He left everything with humility to the Father.
WHETHER YOU ARE THE FIRST DAUGHTER OR FIRST SON,
AND THE FAMILY TENDS TO REJECT YOU, DO NOT BOTHER.
19. DO NOT LOOK FOR THE POSITION. IF YOUR RIGHT AS THE
FIRST SON, OR SECOND SON OR FIRST DAUGHTER, OR AS A
CHILD HAS BEEN DENIED YOU, DO NOT QUESTION. FORGET
ABOUT IT, DO NOT SEEK FOR RECOGNITION; GOD WILL
RAISE YOU UP. IF YOU ARE NOT REMEMBERED BY MAN, GOD
WILL SURELY REMEMBER YOU.
It is not the person who is something before men but he that
is something before God who is recommended by God. It is
not the person who exalts himself who is lifted by God, but he
is lifted up by God who humbles himself. Even if you are
before a little child, and he commands you to stand still, do
that with respect, and God will lift you up. Even if a brother
abuses you and calls you names, and questions your stand in
Brotherhood, say, "Peace" to him, and go your way quietly.
God will lift you up.
ONLY THE CHRIST HAS A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE ANY
OTHER NAME
A critical examination of what happened to Our Lord Jesus
Christ on the cross, reveals His humble nature. They jeered at
Him and asked, "If you are the son of God, come down and
save yourself." He said nothing but kept quiet. I DO NOT
THINK THAT THERE IS ANY PERSON IN THE WORLD WHO
CAN ARGUE THAT WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST HAS EVER HAPPENED TO HIM. IT IS BECAUSE OF
HIS HUMILITY, EVEN UNTO DEATH, THAT GOD HAD HIGHLY
EXALTED HIM, AND GIVEN HIM A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE
EVERY NAME.
PEOPLE HAD COME AND GONE, BUT WHICH OF THEM HAS
GOD EXALTED AND GIVEN HIM A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE
EVERY NAME? PEOPLE PREACH THE WORD OF GOD, RAISE
THE DEAD, MAKE THE BLIND TO SEE, THE LAME TO WALK,
20. AND ARE GENEROUS TO PEOPLE, BUT GOD HAS NOT GIVEN
ANY OF THEM A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME.
Elijah Himself prayed to God that there should be no rain; and
for three years and six months there was no rain. Was that
not vainglory or strife? After sometime he prayed that God
should open the sky, and God did, and there was rain. Have
you been told that God gave him a name which is above every
name?
Even our father Abraham, when he heard that Lot, his
nephew, and all members of his household were arrested by
the army, he was not humbled. He rather gathered three
hundred and eighteen soldiers and marched to that city and
liberated that city. Upon the shouts on our father Abraham,
do you find God giving him a name above every name?
It is on this basis that Our Lord Jesus Christ did say, "In my
Father’s house there are many mansions." God can give you
good health, but does not lift your name. He can give you
children but He will not lift your name up. God can bestow
eternal life on you, but He will not give you a name above
every name. He has diversities of gifts, but the greatest gift is
for Him to lift your name.
To whom does this gift belong? It does not belong to
millionaires. IT DOES NOT BELONG TO PREACHERS. IT DOES
NOT BELONG TO HEALERS. IT IS MEANT FOR THOSE WHO
HUMBLE THEMSELVES TO THE POINT OF PROSTRATING.
THAT IS WHY IT IS SAID, "Blessed are the poor in spirit for
theirs is the kingdom of God."(Matthew 5:3)
When a person smites you, buffets you, spits on you, extorts
your belongings, and you neither budge nor retort, then you
have the qualities of Our Lord Jesus Christ. You are denied
your right, or rightful position. Or whatever may be done to
you, and you do not say anything, neither do you bother.
21. These are they whose name will be lifted by Him. But who
amongst you will afford to sit down in His house and
somebody marches in and holds people captives and beats
them up without his rising up in defense. If you rise up to
fight, it means you have failed colossally.
PATIENCE IN TRIBULATION
I know that many of you are sad about this Gospel because
when you hear people say that Brotherhood is Beelzebub,
witchcraft, vampire, apparition, you are infuriated with such
persons because you claim that you are doing the work of
God. The moment you do this, you have failed completely.
Do you think that all these things are not done by the Father?
He knows about them. They are meant to test us. It is said,
"Blessed is he who endures temptation." (James 1:12).
I personally know that these are all tests. That is why I am
what you find me to. Because from time to time He makes
known to us that there is going to be examination. That being
the case, I have no problems at all.
In your own case because you have neither seen nor known
Him, that is why you react violently to what you hear. You are
furious when it is said that Brotherhood is Beelzebub and
vampire. You will no longer go to the person’s house because
you will feel he has offended you. Do you seek after glory?
Because it is said Brotherhood is not one of the Christian
Churches, you rise in anger and in defense. Is that not strife?
I am not interested in whatever you call me. Whether you call
it apparition or anything, I have no business in it.
THE FATHER IS A MODEL OF HUMILITY
It is said when you see the dead man, tears will begin to roll
down your cheeks. Now you have seen the dead man, where
are tears on your cheek?
22. I instruct you to forsake sin, neither to tell lies, nor to
fornicate, but you still commit sin, and yet I always turn round
to beg you not to be exasperated, and not to do those things
anymore. I have the full right to expel you or excommunicate
you without any redress or anything flapping its wings.
Are you not surprised that when a person steals he will
demand to be taken to the Father; that the Father may offer
him tea? And of a truth, when he is taken to the Father, the
Father will give him tea. The action of the Father is a mark of
humility.
Somebody may stand here and fight and yet you do not find
me saying a word. This shows humility. I have surrendered
any action to the Father. But a foolish person will boast that
he stands before the Father to do whatever he likes, and no
person can do anything to him.
TO THE WORLD, THE LEADER’S APPEARANCE IS INCOGNITO
Our Lord Jesus Christ had said, "I can of mine own self do
nothing; as I hear, I judge and my judgement is just; for I seek
not my own will but the will of him who sent me. (John 5:30); “
John 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father
which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should
say, and what I should speak. John12:50 And I know that his
commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak
therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.” (John
12:49-50). All that I do here are commensurate with the
commandments found in this kingdom of God.
HAVE YOU EVER FOUND A PERSON AS GREAT AS THIS AND
YET HE IS NEITHER KNOWN IN THE GOVERNMENT NOR IN
THE CHURCH DENOMINATIONS NOR IN VARIOUS HOMES?
NO PERSON RECOGNIZES HIS EXISTENCE, NOR GIVES ANY
REGARD TO HIM.
23. A state governor will pay a visit to this state, and will call at a
necromancer, a mermaid priest and others. Have you ever
heard any person suggesting that a courtesy call should be
paid to the Leader? Who is he? Who knows him? DO YOU SEE
US BOTHER? THERE IS NO PROBLEM AT ALL. When there is
any occasion that requires the Governor to attend any church
services, he will attend the so-called established and
orthodox churches.
But for Brotherhood, they will say it is no church. Do you see
us argue? I am not interested at all because such things are
not important.
BROTHERHOOD IS THE CITY OF GOD
CANDIDLY, THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE WORLD, THIS IS THE
ONLY PLACE WHERE GOD IS FOUND; WHERE THE WORD OF
GOD DWELLS. IT IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT PLACE, AND YET
THE WORLD ACKNOWLEDGES IT NOT.
I am not worried about it. But in all monetary affairs,
donations and contributions, Brotherhood will be
remembered. In any other sphere of life, it will be argued that
Brotherhood is no church, it may not even be mentioned. Do
you notice us argue? If it were you, you would have argued. It
was the instruction I receive from the hands of the Father. I
do not count these things as of any significance but I am
simply using them as examples unto you.
You should also learn of all that Brotherhood has done
because they are the instructions of the Father. Even the
type of work which is done generally and for the individuals in
this kingdom, who honours and reverences God? Have we
ever worried about this? We have not because these are so
meant to be.
24. BROTHERHOOD CANNOT BE RECOGNIZED CARNALLY
THIS INSTRUCTION IS FOR ME, IT IS FOR YOU AND FOR THE
ENTIRE WORLD. A GREAT MANY PEOPLE FEEL THAT THE
LEADER NEITHER SEES NOR HEARS NOR HAS CONSCIENCE
NOR CAN DO ANYTHING WHATEVER. THIS IS ERRONEOUS.
WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT WE ARE FOLLOWING THE
INSTRUCTIONS OF THE FATHER.
There are certain places where the Father had been invited
to their occasion but the people do not even take cognizance
of the representatives of the Father. These representatives
are not given any attention nor offered seats. Yet they will be
drumming, dancing, drinking and doing other things. During
donations, the Father will be called. After the presentation of
the donation, they will begin to shiver and ask whether the
representatives will drink or eat. That will mark their
departure. In many other places, when such representatives
attend even in the church denomination of reverend
gentlemen, they will not even take cognizance of them. But it
does not matter. They were only concerned with what was
said, "Give to him that asketh thee." (Matthew 5:42). They
give and go their way. The second lesson will now be read.
Listen attentively to what is going to be read to you.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
THE SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE
BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR.
EXCERPT FROM : BEFORE HONOR IS HUMILITY
.................................................................................................
THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN
Second Bible Lesson: Galatians 5:22-23
25. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against
such there is no law."
How To Worship God In Spirit And In Truth
Have you heard what the Holy Spirit teaches us? Is there any
law which is against these? If you are here in Nigeria and you
love every person and are kind and gentle and humble, will
the laws of Nigeria work against you?
If you go to Ghana and you possess love and regard everyone
as your brother, if you are truthful, temperate, merciful and
patient, will the laws of Ghana oppose you? If you get to
Rome and you possess love and are truthful, if you are
humble and you do not fornicate, if you are patient and meek;
will the Romans condemn your way of life? That is
worshipping God in Spirit and in truth. Where else can you
find people sitting in fellowship like this? Lawyers, doctors,
professors and millionaires all of them mingle with the poor
and eat from the same plate without any difficulty. That is the
teaching of the Holy Spirit and it is what I want to reveal to
the entire world that there is no division. This is taught by the
Holy Spirit. He teaches and practices it.
This is why our Lord Jesus Christ says that you should call no
one Teacher for He alone is the Teacher and we are all
brethren. (Matt 23:8) A teacher is one who practices what he
says. Can you not notice the love He has? He healed us free
of charge. He teaches us free. He changes us free. He feeds
us free. He does everything without a fee. He tolerates us in
everything. He does not beat us nor inflict us with evil. He
teaches us to go and do likewise.
No Differentiation Of Persons
No woman can enter and speak in the mosque. In the Roman
Catholic Church, a woman is not allowed to preach. Many
26. other places do not regard the women as anything. The
reason is that they have not received the teachings of the
Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit teaches us that we are all
brethren.
Do not call anyone a fool. There is neither young nor old,
white nor black, everyone is equal. Our Lord Jesus Christ
taught that there is neither Greek nor Jew but the Holy Spirit
is all and in all. You are aware of the fact that the teaching of
the Holy Spirit has never been disseminated in many parts of
the world, that is why when the women went abroad to
preach, there was a stir in the churches.
The women there agitated to their authorities for their right
to preach because of what they had seen from our women.
The Archbishop of Canterbury almost granted them the
concession but his friend in Rome advised that if he did that,
he was no longer his friend. And so people have refused
women the right to preach because of fear of persecution.
But right now the Holy Spirit has come to remove this veil
from your eyes. When your eyes are opened, you will realize
that there is neither male nor female, young nor old but Christ
is all and in all (Gal 3:28).
The Brotherhood Of Man
The Holy Spirit teaches us that we are the same. We are
God's building. We are the city of God. We are all the children
of God. Whether you are white or black, you should regard
every person in the same way. This is what is taught by the
Holy Spirit. There is no pastor, or bishop who will teach you
that all men are equal. It is the Holy Spirit alone who teaches
us the Brotherhood of man.
You remember the first National Anthem which specified that
"in Brotherhood we stand." "Though tribes and tongues may
differ, in Brotherhood we stand." That is what accounted for
27. the progress of Nigeria. Since the first National Anthem was
replaced by the new one, have you not observed how things
have been with you?
The Holy Spirit has come to liberate the whole of Nigeria and
is He not worthy of our worship? If we worship him would
there be any wars or problems in Nigeria?
God says you should call no one father because you have one
father; all of you are brethren. What other name do you want?
The whole of Africa is Brotherhood. The whole of the western
world is Brotherhood. All the angels are Brotherhood.
Everything is Brotherhood. Tell me any other name which you
want apart from Brotherhood, and to love one another. He
teaches us love, patience and kindness, and so we should go
forth and practice these and not to look for another doctrine.
There is no need establishing any church denomination. The
one which is from God is sufficient unto all of us.
Brotherhood Was Established By God Before Any Religion
Was Founded
The church denominations and prayer houses are
comparatively recent. Brotherhood was first in existence. It
was in heaven and God said let us make man in our image and
likeness. Brotherhood was brought down before Adam and
Eve were created. They were led by the Spirit. But when they
disobeyed God, trouble set in and they fell away from
Brotherhood.
Brotherhood is love, unity, humility, meekness, patience, joy,
self-control, peace and all the virtues of God. It has neither
the beginning nor the end. What else do you want? It is
sufficient unto Nigeria as a faith. It is sufficient unto Ghana,
and the whole of Africa and the entire Western World. His
teaching is love and if we follow after love there will be no
theft or any problems again. Do not go to the mountains
28. again. If you have love and humble yourself, things will be
well with you.
New Teaching
Brotherhood is not planted but it germinates. That is why
wherever it is taken to, the indigenes of the place are sought
for and their possession is handed to them. This is our
government in which we do not steal and we do not kill. Who
is it that does not love goodness. No other person rules. It is
the Holy Spirit who is the Teacher and the Ruler. The Indians
rule themselves with their own System of government.
Russia, America and every country has its own ruler with its
common form of government because love is new. All the old
things have passed away. It is love alone who rules in heaven
and earth. Do not kill animals or man again. Do not hate any
person. Do not steal. Remain in love and peace with all. This
is the teaching which the Holy Spirit has brought.
Our Mistakes
You err when you say that Brotherhood comes from Nigeria,
or from Calabar, or from Biakpan; or that Olumba Olumba Obu
is the owner. You also err when you say that you go to plant
Brotherhood. Is it plantain or yam? You also err when you
claim that you are ruling Brotherhood? Do you rule
Brotherhood or does Brotherhood rule you?
He teaches us and forgives our sins. He changes and reforms
us. He feeds us and teaches us to love one another. What is
the work you have done? It is for the whole world to rejoice
because Brotherhood does not emanate from any person. You
may leave me out but go and live in peace and love with one
another. That is what the Holy Spirit has brought. The first
man was Adam. Were there no other names? But it was
started with Adam and Eve. Everything has got a beginning.
Today are Adam and Eve with us? What do you lose and what
29. does Adam lose? It is said that many people run in a race but
only one person receives the prize.
Man Has To Lead
Since it was ordained that man should be at the head no
matter what happens, man will be at the head. When you kill
an animal it belongs to you while in the forest, but when you
bring it out to the village, it is no more yours. Communism
was started by Lenin in Russia and now he is dead, and the
body embalmed and preserved for posterity. This is all you
can see of him. God used Mohammed to found Islam. Today
Mohammed is no more in the world but Islam is still practiced
as a religion. Boniface started Roman Catholicism but is he
here today? Bahaula started the Bahai faith but is he here
today? God uses people to accomplish His will.
Forget about these people because they are like the moon
which shines for all. Each of them is a messenger and nothing
else. God will not start any instruction with a tree. If this is
the cause of your annoyance, do not mention the name of
Olumba Obu, keep him out but practice the teachings of the
Holy Spirit. Do not look again to the left or right.
John the Baptist started preaching repentance. (Mark 1:4)
Our Lord Jesus Christ also came but are these people
physically here today? At all times God has to pass through
men. This foundation is very sure. Brotherhood existed before
the foundation of the world was laid. This is the time of its
manifestation and there is no going back. This is the only
expected Kingdom we have been praying for. Have you ever
seen anything from Africa which gains popularity in Europe
and America?
Let me tell you what is happening in the world today because
it is the Holy Spirit who is revealing Himself to the people.
There is a certain man in London who vowed not to bow down
30. to any black man. That night, as he went to bed, the Holy
Spirit revealed himself lavishly unto him. The following day
he resigned his appointment, and now goes about with
soutane preaching the gospel in every part of town and even
sleeps with his soutane on. Another man from Cross River
State of Nigeria who was a Pastor in another church
denomination was arrested in Lebanon with a lot of foreign
currency while on a business trip. The case was such that he
would not escape jail or the firing squad but the Father
appeared and he was released. When he got back, to London,
he got baptized with members of his household and now
rejoices in Brotherhood. He will be here this month. Is this the
work of man? Was I the one who went to him. What can a
small person like myself know how to do?
Attribute All To Jehovah God And His Christ
If you want to practice Brotherhood, talk only about the Holy
Spirit and there will be peace. Do not wander to any part of
the world because you will find no way. The foundation is
sure. This is why a lot of people try to render the teaching in
various languages. The time for deceit had long past. Count
me out of what you do. I am not a chief, I am neither
chairman, nor Pastor, nor Prophet, nor Christ Servant, nor
Elder nor anything, but the point is, what about the work? If
you refuse me, do you equally refuse the work? Our Lord
Jesus Christ is the foundation and the Leader. Jehovah God
and His Christ is the one in control. I had told you that I am
not the doer of this work. But even if I lie down in the house,
the work still continues. Imagine the testimonies of what
happened in Germany and other parts of the world. HAVE
YOU EVER FOUND ME TRAVELLING OUT EVEN TO ORON?
GOD HAD DISGRACED THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD, OF THE
31. WHITES AND OF THE BLACKS. HE ALONE EXISTS. I have no
boast of my own. I boast in Him. Let our Golden Text be read.
……………………………………………………………………………………
THE REIGN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS UNOPPOSED
*You remember the first world war. It was the handiwork of
our Lord Jesus Christ because it was said that you will hear
rumors of war but you will not see the war. That was its
fulfillment. That war could not, therefore, be attributed to any
person.
*You will recall the dream of the three Nuns in Rome in 1918
about the arrival of the Holy Spirit in Africa. In 1918, there
was the out break of influenza at the end of the war. All those
events cannot be attributed to any other cause than the
gradual unfolding of the total liberation plan by God for man.
THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS MAN
Golden Text: John 4:23
"But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers
shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father
seeketh such to worship Him."
It is of great surprise on one hand, to find that somebody who
has never studied at any university, or travelled to Lagos, or
read any newspaper, or initiated into any secret society or
cult, or even read through the Bible can exhibit so great
profundity of knowledge. How do I come by this knowledge?
Man is the church of God. Man is the building of God. Man is
the House of God. (1 Cor 3:16-17/ 6:19)
Do not allow any person to deceive you to erect or attend a
church building. Go not forth, for you are the house of God. All
the inhabitants are the houses of God. Are you familiar with
32. the concept? Man is the house of God. God has no other
house.
If a person directs that he should take you to God's vineyard,
do not go. You are God's husbandry. He has no other. Do not
be deceived that when a person dies, he goes to God's city.
Man is the only city of God.
The Tabernacle Of God Is Man
Somebody argues that you are not a child of God. If you are
not a child of God, whose child are you? Whose child is Eve or
Adam? Are they not children of God? Whose child is our Lord
Jesus Christ? Is He not the Son of God? Did he not redeem us
from the curse? All the inhabitants of the world are the
children of God.
It is usual for a father and a child to quarrel. When a child
offends against his father, he quite normally will ask his
father for forgiveness. It was for that purpose that Our Lord
Jesus Christ shed his blood through which the Father forgave
the sins of the world. All the inhabitants of the world are true
and not adopted children of God. In that case, you are now
having a direct link with your Father. The ultimate aim is to
return to the Garden of Eden. Right now God has come back
to dwell in each and every one of us. He does not dwell in the
sky. He dwells in you. There is no need in going to the
mountain, or to find a church, or request for prayers. He
dwells in you. Therefore converse with Him, listen to Him for
He is teaching you love, peace, truth, mercy, faith and other
virtues.
The Reign Of The Holy Spirit Is Unopposed
When anyone comes to tell you that he had been to
Jerusalem or India to receive power, he is lying and he is a
deceiver. Call on God for He dwells in you. It is for this reason
that we are told not to commit any sin. If we keep his
33. instructions, we have no problems. No power comes from
elsewhere to us. When a person complains that he is
attacked from the family, it is a lie. This is the time to worship
God in spirit and in truth. This is the reign of the Holy Spirit.
His reign has no bounds. Whether or not you accept Him, His
reign is unopposed. He has assumed His rulership, and
nothing else reigns. Why are we afflicted with famine,
tribulation, poverty and lack? It is because you would not
accept his rule. The Holy Spirit is God. He makes and
unmakes. If we accept Him and surrender completely to His
reign, all will become well. Things will change for the better
overnight. I have accepted him. If you have not accepted
Him, that is your business but it is sure that the
fastidiousness of a he-goat does not prevent it from being
sold.
Kingdom Devoid of Pain and Death
The Spirit is what we had lacked. That is why people died, fell
sick and suffered. But now that the Holy Spirit has come back
to dwell with you in the paradise according to the
pre-ordination of God, you communicate directly with God.
There is no sickness or pains. Fortunately, the living water
overflows the fountains. But you refuse to drink. On what
basis do you refuse to drink? Can you refuse life?
In the past the Jehovah's witnesses claimed to be the Watch
Tower watching to announce to the people the time of
consummation. It appears that the reverse is now the case.
This is that Kingdom of God and the Holy Spirit now reigns.
The Kingdom of this world is no more. This is the Kingdom of
Jehovah God and His Christ. It is not Olumba Olumba Obu
who reigns. Nobody else reigns. Jehovah God and His Christ
alone reigns. Brethren, be not exasperated. If you can put
Olumba in a box and nail it, put him in and drop it in the depth
34. of the sea. The reign of the Holy Spirit has been revealed. The
die is already cast.
The Arrival Of The Holy Spirit: Coincided With The First World
War
At this moment, South Africa is free. The inhabitants are set
free today (October 1, 1986), to come and serve God. I am not
the one setting them free. The same Jehovah God and His
Christ sets them free.
Remember His promise of liberation to all, made today as we
celebrate the anniversary of Nigeria's independence. He
fulfills his precept of "Live and let Live', so that the white and
blacks should have equal right to serve the Holy Spirit. There
should no longer be any oppression in any quarters. Whether
you are young or old, male or female, this is the opportunity
for you throughout the whole world to save yourself.
You remember the first world war. It was the handiwork of
our Lord Jesus Christ because it was said that you will hear
rumors of war but you will not see the war. That was its
fulfillment. That war could not, therefore, be attributed to any
person.
You will recall the dream of the three Nuns in Rome in 1918
about the arrival of the Holy Spirit in Africa. In 1918, there
was the out break of influenza at the end of the war. All those
events cannot be attributed to any other cause than the
gradual unfolding of the total liberation plan by God for man.
What now hinders you, you Africans, and indeed all the
inhabitants of the world from serving God? This is the time to
worship God in Spirit and in truth by hearkening to His voice.
That should be expressed in such attributes as love, humility,
peace, service to God, now and till eternity.
35. Brethren, this is the message that I have for the entire world.
A stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. He who has
ears let him hear. May God bless His Holy Words. Amen!

WITH INDEPENDENCE, NIGERIANS ARE RIGHT TO
WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH
Brethren, this gospel is delivered on the occasion of the
celebration of the 26th Anniversary of Nigeria's
Independence. It is meant to commemorate that celebration.
This is a time when Nigerians should worship God in spirit, in
truth, in love, in patience, in humility, in mercy, in goodness,
in self control, and in meekness, because against these
virtues there is no law. Heaven and earth will pass away, but
the word of God will not pass away forever. (Matt 24:35/Mark
13:31).
With Independence, Nigerians Are Right To Worship God In
Spirit And In Truth
When Nigerians were under the colonial rule, they were
slaves to the foreign laws, they could neither express the
love of God nor do anything as they loved, but now Our Lord
Jesus Christ has liberated all Nigerians. What therefore,
prevents us from following after the Spirit which is
righteousness, love, mercy, truth, humility, meekness, joy,
because all of us are Brotherhood.
Nigeria is a very important country loved by God. Africa is
also loved by God. He loves the whole world as well, but Our
36. Lord Jesus Christ begins to count his numerals from one. He
elects people singly, in twos and threes, until he elects all.
The prophecy just read is directly referring to Nigeria and
indeed, Africa. The prophecy says, "But the hour cometh and
now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in
Spirit and in truth; for the Father seeks such to worship Him.
(John 4:23)
As that Samaritan woman has said, "Our Fathers worshipped
on this mountain and you say that in Jerusalem is the place
where men ought to worship." Our Lord Jesus Christ said to
her, "Woman, believe me, the hour cometh when ye shall
neither on this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem worship the
Father. You worship what you do not know, we worship what
we know for salvation is of the Jews." (John 4:21-22)
The Right Of People's Self Determination
Republicanism means freedom, the expression of the right to
self determination, to be independent. To have right to self
determination means the freedom to know what and how to
worship, how to govern, how to do any other things
self-independently. Right now, Nigerians have embraced
Catholicism of the Christian Religion and Mohammedanism.
They have also imbibed some other foreign religious cultures
and ideologies. But the pertinent question is, are Catholicism
and Mohammedanism indigenous to this country? Are the
various cultures indigenous to Nigeria? Do you know what
you are actually worshipping? What about the strange gods,
the idols, the diabologies, which you worship? Are they
natives of Nigeria? The Holy Spirit whom Nigerians should
worship in the appropriate manner has now arrived.
Africans Are Fond Of Worshipping Foreign Gods
If you go to Ghana, the people are worshipping strange gods,
in Liberia also people worship strange gods, indeed
37. everywhere you go to, the Africans are found to worship
strange and infamous gods. Does it mean that you cannot
worship the True God? Why do you continue to worship
strange gods, and be plagued with problems, difficulties and
confusion? But the Holy Spirit which is Love has arrived, and
has taught us the virtues of love, and truth, and fellowship
with one another because we are all brethren.
Our Lord Jesus Christ has told us that God is a Spirit. What is
the Spirit? He is love, truth, mercy, goodness, righteousness,
humility, meekness, joy and peace. The Holy Spirit is in
Nigeria. He is in Africa and He is in the whole world. What
hinders us from worshipping and serving Him, since we all
have been emancipated? This is, therefore, not the time to go
to Mecca or Rome, or Jerusalem or even United States of
America; but the time to worship God in Spirit, because the
Holy Spirit has arrived at your doorstep. Love has arrived
under your roof. What prevents you from worshiping Him?
Many people worship what they know not. They build a house
and presume that God is in the house, they go to the riverside
to worship, they also go to Mecca and to Jerusalem
presuming that God is in such places. Unfortunately, God is
not in such places. But our Lord Jesus Christ says, "The time
cometh, and now is, when true worshippers will worship God
in Spirit and in truth because they worship what they know
not, but now we must worship what we do know because
salvation emanates from the Holy Spirit into the whole world.
Africans Are Cultured Enough To Sell Their Ideology To
Others
The inhabitants of the whole world have borne eloquent
testimony that the Holy Spirit has entered Africa. It is a
truism that the Holy Spirit has entered Africa. It is surprising
that the Africans have not realized the Holy Spirit has now
38. entered their continent. If you observe the goings on in the
world, there are no people who express their love as the
Africans, there are no people who are as foolish as the
Africans, there are no people in the world as humble as the
Africans, and there are no people who are as honest and
truthful as the Africans. However, the trouble with the
Africans is their tendency to worship strange gods. Are
Africans not civilized and enlightened enough to have their
own ideology, and to worship the true God who is love, truth,
and Brotherhood so that all things may remain in perfect
peace and tranquility, in order also to get the whites
socialized in the worship and in the African ideology?
Africa, The Cradle Of Civilization
There has never been any point in time when God hated
Africans. It is crystal clear that Egypt in Africa is the cradle of
civilization. The first university ever to be established was
set up in Egypt. Whatever body of knowledge adopted by the
whites was borrowed from Africa. On this premise, at the
close of this age, the Holy Spirit has descended into Africa. It
is only reasonable that the Africans should worship God in
Spirit and in truth.
Notice that India with a population of 800 million people has
only one government based on one ideology. But in Africa it is
noticed that Nigeria with a scanty population sets up a
government based on multiple ideologies. Ghana, Cameroon
and other African countries with scanty populations, have
their different governments based on different ideologies.
They glory in a state of divide-and-rule. The same state of
affairs prevails in other African Countries. Why do they not
stop for a moment to ask themselves why they should
continue to fool and stupefy themselves as well as involve
themselves in the attitude of divide and rule?
39. Factors Of African Unity
You are mature enough to know yourselves. If a Cameroonian
or a Ghanaian or any person from any African country enters
into any assembly, you cannot differentiate him from
Nigerians because all the Africans wear the same body
pigmentation and they are one and the same thing. Why can
you not unite yourselves in Love? Love itself is here with you,
it is only because you worship what you know not. You
worship strange gods and forsake the Holy Spirit who has
already come. The result of your action is confusion,
tribulations, poverty, daylight robbery and indiscriminate
murder, because of worshipping strange gods. It is now time
that you worship God in Spirit and in truth, introduce the
virtue of love to the whites, to go to show them the
expression of Love, truth, joy and peace which is
Brotherhood.
Who Appreciates The Holy Spirit?
I do not, however, condemn the Orthodox Churches that
profess to worship the real God but have no need for the Holy
Spirit. The Moslems do not need the Holy Spirit, the various
religions have no need for the Holy Spirit but Our Lord Jesus
Christ has spoken in unequivocal terms, that the true
worshipper will worship God in Spirit and in truth.
Fortunately, the Holy Spirit is here on earth, there is love,
mercy, unity, fellowship, truth, self-control and meekness.
Should we, therefore reject the Holy Spirit? The whites are
aware of the present position, because it was said that
"Ethiopians shall rise," that is to say the blacks will rise up.
Now, the blacks have risen up. They all should rise up and
worship God in Spirit and in truth, in love and in mercy, in
truth and in humility, and in fellowship and unity.
Religious Hegemony
40. How do you attain a Republican status without any ideology
and you do not know what to worship? You are now liberated,
but you worship a strange god and accept imported ideology.
This is the trouble which besets Africa. The Pope is at the
head of Roman Catholicism, and most of those who profess to
be Roman Catholics know not what they worship. England is
under the Archbishop of Canterbury who is the head of the
Church of England. At first the Britons were under the Pope
and the Roman Catholic Church and owed their loyalty to
Rome. You can observe that Nigeria is till today under the
yoke of the many religious hegemonies and has not at
present attained the purported Republican status. A casual
look reveals that some Nigerians are Roman Catholics, some
are Moslems, some are Lutherans, others are of various
foreign Christian church denominations while others belong
to other foreign religions. It is from this that confusion and
problem set in because they do not know what they do and
what they worship.
King James I of England Broke With Rome
You are aware of the fact that hitherto, England owed her
loyalty to Rome and the Pope, and had to consult with Rome
for whatever the people intended to do. Whoever was to be
crowned the King of England must have the approval of
Rome. But when King James I ascended the throne of
England in 1603, he found himself heir to the religious turmoil
and confusion that characterized the entire country. He knew
that if he continued to be loyal to Rome, he would continue to
remain under the Roman hegemony. King James I, therefore,
broke with Rome and founded the Church of England under
the leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury. With the new
set up, there was no longer any foreign domination. It is such
a country which has attained the real republican status. Go to
41. China today, the people are independent of other countries,
they are self-sufficient. The same thing happens in other
countries. But all countries in Africa are dependent on others
for religion, government, economy and other socio-political
and economic institutions because they do not know what
they worship.
Upon your claim to high attainment in education, upon the
number of you who study in foreign countries, the Africans
generally have no ideology. I speak this to your shame.
However, the Holy Spirit has arrived in Africa, He dwells in
Africa. Africa is the first Son, Africa is the Kingdom of God
where there is joy, which is rich in natural resources, full of
honey and milk. You should go forth to inform the whole
world. But till today, the Africans are quarrelling among
themselves, and they cannot decipher the mind of the white
man, who indoctrinated them that what they have which is
indigenous, is not good enough and so they stand separated.
Can you boast of attaining the republicanism?
Do you mean to argue that it is not the God who created the
Russians, the Americans, the Britons, the Israelites and the
Arabians who created you in Africa? Do you have another
God? Have you sworn not to be independent? Do you not want
to find your feet on the ground? It is incumbent upon you to
worship God in Spirit and in truth.
What Religion Is Indigenous to Nigeria?
Our Lord Jesus Christ has kindly set us free knowing that we
worshipped what we did not know. What does it mean to God
for your attending church services? What actually do you go
there to do? THE SO-CALLED BIG MEN sit down there and
quarrel and fight, indulging in all forms of diabology and
committing murder. It therefore stands to reason that, you do
not know what you are worshipping. You find a few persons
42. founding their church denominations, others are doing a
similar thing and others are complaining that they have
toured around all the church denominations. Must you
continue to move from one church denomination to the
other? The church denominations always expect that an
important person must come to inspect their churches from
United States of America, or India or Britain or from any other
country. No church denomination has ever originated from
Nigeria. No important person has ever gone from Africa to the
United States of America to inspect his church denomination
there, because the people are very pessimistic, feeling that
God has rejected Africa. Is there no person in Africa who has
found favor with God? I want you Africans to question
yourselves on this issue.
Africa Must Awake
Can the blind lead the blind? If the blind lead the blind, will
the two of them not fall into a pit? Can you observe the love
which Africans once had with themselves. Now is the era of
diplomacy, where craftiness, party spirit, robbery,
oppression, grudge are the order of the day. At present, a
brother rebels against a brother and warns that if he is not a
Roman Catholic, or a Mount Zion, or Apostolic, or Moslem, he
should no longer visit his house. Did your father ever
establish Mohammedanism? Do you know what obtains in
Roman Catholic or Mount Zion, or Apostolic? Do you not
realize that freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom
of religion were enshrined in the Nigerian constitution for
your benefit? What happens now? Three religious
organizations are purportedly recognized in Nigeria. They
are: Roman Catholicism which originates from Rome, Islam
which originates from Mecca, and the Protestant churches
which also originate from Europe. Which is the Nigerian
43. indigenous religion? The one that originates from Africa is
not known. Which is easily dismissed with a wave of the
hand. So the search for the real Christ continues. If you go to
meet the Pope he will issue you with instructions about his
doctrines. Are you not still under his yoke? Africa, are you not
under a foreign yoke? Do you know what you are
worshipping? Do you understand what your masters are
doing? Is the Catholic headquarters established here?
Whatever instructions are passed down by the Prophet or
Archbishop of Canterbury or Pope must be carried out, but we
remain without a religion and an ideology. Since you started
attending these foreign church denominations, has any black
man ever been appointed a Pope? Till the world comes to an
end, no black man will be appointed the Pope or the
Archbishop of Canterbury because the blacks do not
comprehend what they do. Can you become the Prophet of
Mecca? Till the end of your days you will never become the
prophet.
The Blacks Despise Themselves And What They Have
Brethren, do you observe your relative position? It is for this
reason that I shed tears when I look at you. Any good thing
that emerges from amongst you is down-trodden. What do
you want God to do for you? God is born for us. The promised
Comforter, the Holy Spirit originates from here. He is
everything, He is love, and truth. Food and every other thing
is found in abundance. Here there is oneness which is
Brotherhood. Brotherhood regards all the whites, blacks,
coloured, and indeed all the inhabitants of the world as one.
It is a common thing in the present age to find the white
loving only what is theirs, not minding its worthlessness but
despising what belongs to the blacks even if it is of a
superlative degree. But the blacks on the other hand love
44. whatever is foreign no matter how ugly, and despise what is
indigenous no matter how pretty. Is that how to live?
Heavy Expenditures On Pilgrimages
Consider the expenditure incurred by both government and
individuals in one trip to Mecca. Yet you still cry for lack of
money. What is your mission to Mecca? Our Lord Jesus Christ
has said that the hour cometh when it shall neither be on that
mountain nor at Jerusalem. You go to worship what you do
not know. God is a Spirit. God is Love. God is Truth. God is
Patience, He is humility, meekness and righteousness.
Worship God within, and on the land you dwell. People go to
Jerusalem on pilgrimage. But our Lord Jesus Christ has said,
the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor
yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. But now that the day
has dawned at the arrival of the Holy Spirit, you still go to
Jerusalem and Mecca. What do you go to Jerusalem for? Why
do you waste thousands of naira on such worthless ventures?
This is good money that can be used to execute many
development projects. What do you go to do there? When will
the people of Jerusalem come here? Take a trip to
Jerusalem, if you will not find numerous poor people. Up to
this day, war is still raging seriously on the land. Hatred,
rancor, and malice abound. What do you go to learn from
them? Do they even know what to do themselves? You are
familiar with what obtains amongst the Arabs. When you go
to Mecca, what do you learn from there!
In London, armed robbers are as numerous as they abound in
this country. You cannot even compare the high rate of
stealing, lying, roguery to what abounds here. In such
situations, what do you go to learn there?
Brethren, have you realized that to become a republic means
to reach self-realization and self-actualization, completely
45. independent to serve God, farm, trade, and do your things
your own way? God has come to teach us everything. He
teaches about electricity and other things. Freedom from
external influences motivates a man to individual
experiments which leads to inventions and discoveries. The
root of Chinese knowledge which has led to their present
fame and prominence is traceable to Africa. The origin of
Japanese knowledge can be traced back to Africa. It is God
who teaches man everything. But people conserve what they
are taught by others for their selfish interest and self
aggrandizement because they do not want other people to
see the light.
The Bible in use is printed in Europe and America. Can that be
construed to mean that throughout all Africa, there is nobody
who is able or worthy to print the Bible for sale? Is it because
you cannot print the Bible that is why you order copies of the
Bible from London, America and other parts of the Western
world? Imagine the amount of money you send out for this
purpose every year. Does it mean that Africans cannot
operate printing machines for this purpose so that the money
which would have been expended remains in circulation in
the continent? Are you not mature enough to print your own
Bible? Are you not mature enough to have an indigenous
African Church? The government of the country is "Love One
Another." It is the government of the continent. Right now,
you do not yet have a republic. In the churches you find strife
and division portraying utter ignorance of what you are
worshipping. Does it mean that there is nobody throughout
Africa who can buy printing machines for the purpose of
printing the Bible in commercial quantities and distribute to
people here in Africa and even in the Eastern and Western
world?
46. The Holy Spirit Teaches Everything
Should we understand that in all Africa there is no person to
whom God has bestowed the Holy Spirit, a person who has
love and can unify Africa into a formidable force, a person
who can consequently establish an indigenous African
church for the Africans, having a unique system of worship,
such that the whites will come down to imbibe? Does it mean
that there is no black man who possesses love? There is no
other system of worship than that of the Spirit. Be not
deceived that the system you use is of human design. It is the
Spirit at work. This is the time to worship God in Spirit and in
truth besides which there is no other system. If a group of
persons invite you to a certain place, go not forth. That is not
the place. The Spirit teaches us love. When all of us possess
love, that is the basis of freedom. It is only then that there
will be no more theft or discrimination since we would all be
brothers.
Right now, if we go to London, we only go on ministry work to
teach the whites. Brotherhood has penetrated into Western
Germany, India, America and every part of the world. The
Holy Spirit is now teaching them about love. They do not
know what is called the Holy Spirit.
The Word Of God Is Not Taught In The University
There is no university where any person can teach you the
word of God. No university can teach you about love. You are
rather taught craftiness, stealing and other vices. But the
Holy Spirit takes dominion over everything. It is the promised
Comforter who was meant to teach all things. Has He not
come? Has He not taught? The white, coloured and black
races possess the Spirit. He is teaching all the inhabitants of
the world. He teaches us love, and truth. All the inhabitants of
the world are one. We should be attentive and walk in Spirit.
47. Do not be led to doing and worshipping that which you do not
know.
Republicanism In Africa Is A Mere Concept
The underlying factor behind the refusal of the communist to
admit any religion is the difficulty of deciding which one to
follow. If Russia accepts Catholicism, it implies they will be
subjected to the whims and caprices of the Pope. They will
become servants of the Pope. Do you not know that any
person to whom you yield, you make yourself a slave? If it is
Catholicism, it means the Pope will govern you and your
republic will be a mere mental concept. With the Catholic
hegemony, you will have no personal conviction and
aspirations. Such subjugation is indirect slavery. But right
now, we are liberated. The Spirit now teaches every person.
He teaches love to us, to the whites and to all. You should,
therefore, listen to Him. All the inhabitants of the world are
one, we are Brethren. God is not only the God of Nigeria, or of
Africa, or of Europe. He is the God of every person. The Holy
Spirit is everywhere.
Let our first Lesson be read. Listen attentively, blacks and
whites, alike.

……………………………………………………………………………………
THE WHITES ARE SCATTERING ABROAD:
God was formerly referred to as the God of Isaac, Jacob,
Abraham and generally as the God of Israel. But the Israelites
do not practice the word of God. Therefore, if somebody
48. comes out of another race or country like Nigeria in Africa to
worship God, why should He not be revered and accepted by
all? People believe that God should always manifest only in
Israel. This is the problem with the Roman Catholic Church up
till now. They do not reckon any black man worthy for the
position of a pope in the organization. They specifically
reserve that position for the people of Roman origin. A
Nigerian by name Ekanem rose to the position of a cardinal.
He is the first black man to assume that position. However,
the whites know that if he continues to serve in that
capacity, in event of the death of the present pope, the next
person due to ascend to that throne will be Ekanem, hence
they hastily retired the African Cardinal. Can a man retire
from the services of God? Where does he retire to? Is it to the
worship of idols? Today, the widely acclaimed cardinal is
now in his village not as a cardinal but as a retired clergy. Is
this not funny? The funniest part of it all is that, he is a black
man. The whites do not see anything good in a black man. No
matter how effective and devoted a black man may be, the
whites cannot regard him as fit enough to rub shoulders with
them, not to talk of ruling over them. The whites do not
practice the word of God. They oppose Christ and fight
against Him hence, they scatter abroad. The entire churches
of the world are opposing Christ. They are against Him. They
neither teach nor follow His teachings. They devote their
time to preach about material things and they enrich their
pockets. This is contrary to the teachings of our Lord Jesus
Christ. He did not teach about material things but strictly the
things of the kingdom. His teachings basically centered on
love and peaceful co-existence with others. He teaches
nothing other than oneness. But unfortunately, man has
deviated from His teachings and made for himself colonies
49. and tribes. Man discriminates against his fellow man and
then goes on to create boundaries to differentiate tribes,
ethnic groups and languages. Even within a town, there may
be more than four groups with varied dialects, customs and
beliefs. I do not identify myself with this type of setting. I
believe in oneness, equality and universality. I practice and
teach love. I do not restrict my teachings to Biakpan, Cross
River State, Nigeria or Africa. My teachings are for the entire
people of the world; for the entire creation of God. I have no
particular interest for any man, tribe, group, nation or
continent. My main purpose or concern is in the word of God.
Whoever therefore, practices the word of God is with me and
such is mine. Except you practice the word of God, you are
deceiving yourself by calling me those praise names, as
papa, Savior, Comforter and others. I have nothing to do with
you a sinner. Do I fornicate, steal, kill, discriminate, and
commit other sinful acts as you do? If I do not engage in sin,
what then qualifies us as friends? Your position,
qualification, beauty, and wealth do not interest me. My only
business with you is that, you should practice the word of
God. If you come across someone who teaches and practices
love and other righteous acts yet you refuse to accept and
honor Him, then you have yourself to blame. You are
scattering abroad instead of gathering. Paul even said that
you should not keep company with a person who is an evil
doer. Read I Corinthians 5: 11 for details. The one on the
throne in this end of time is the Teacher of truth and the doer
of the truth. He uses truth to fight and overcome the world.
His teachings are not limited to any particular group, country
or continent.

Excerpt from the gospel: WHO ARE THE BROTHERHOOD
………………………………………………………………………………………
ESAU AND JACOB:
* He has said that those who were not his people, He shall
call his people and to her that was not His beloved, He shall
call His beloved. (Rom 9:25). Africans were neither His people
nor his beloved, but today God says to Africans "you are my
people." And so Africans must rise up and unite.
* There was no time when the Holy Spirit left Africa. God
loves Africa above all. You can observe the measure of
freedom of worship that is guaranteed. You are free to
worship what you may, provided you register it. But this is not
the case in other places.
* Right now your brother is a Roman Catholic member while
you are of the Apostolic Church, how can both of you agree as
far as Christian doctrines are concerned? You continue to kill
one another on questions of faith. Whose teaching is that?
* RIGHT NOW THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS REVEALED
HIMSELF, WE MUST WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.
He is love and patience, truth and mercy; He is everything
and so there should be no distinction between the whites and
the blacks, the young and the old. Since charity begins at
home, we the Africans should know ourselves. We should
reason among ourselves.
*We should reason among ourselves. We are carrying the
carcass of an elephant on our heads but fiddling with our feet
to search for snails. How much will the snail fetch us? The
whites introduced the school systems, the churches and
their civilization to you. They have done well. That is their
own contribution.
51. * RIGHT NOW THE BLACKS SHOULD INTRODUCE TO THEM
THE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH IS LOVE, TRUTH, ONENESS,
HUMILITY AND GOODNESS. IT IS THE TURN OF THE BLACK
MAN TO UNIFY THE WHOLE WORLD SO THAT THERE
SHOULD BE NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE JEWS AND THE
GREEKS.
ESAU REPRESENTS THE BLACKS, AND JACOB THE WHITES
Esau and Jacob had one father. Esau was a black man but
Jacob was a white man. Esau was strict and truthful, serving
his father Isaac; but Jacob used craftiness to usurp his
birthright. (Gen 25:29-34). Can you not notice how crafty the
whites are? It is what was written that the elder shall serve
the younger and that prophecy has been fulfilled and it now
past. Right now the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth has come. I
do not condemn the Roman Catholic Church, it is very good
with the Catholics. Islam is very good for the moslems too.
But what do you have to do for yourself now that the Holy
Spirit has come to teach us? He has come to teach the entire
world and so we should forsake strange doctrines and faiths
and follow after love since God has come down by Himself.
He is no longer of the whites nor of the blacks alone. He is
neither for Nigerians nor for Africans alone. Ours is the
Kingdom of God which has come down on earth. He has come
to teach us His love, mercy, truth, and unity, that people
should not kill one another again, and that there should be no
oppression or segregation.
Freedom Of Worship
There was no time when the Holy Spirit left Africa. God loves
Africa above all. You can observe the measure of freedom of
worship that is guaranteed. You are free to worship what you
may, provided you register it. But this is not the case in other
52. places. You cannot worship any other God in the Moslem
world. The same thing obtains in the Roman Catholic world.
But here in Nigeria, the constitution provides for freedom of
worship.
Is it not the Holy Spirit who wrote the constitution? The Holy
Spirit did that purposefully knowing that there is something
still left for man to do. What still remains to be done is that
the inhabitants of the entire world do not know what they are
doing. Christ says that whoever loves God has to love his
brother. (1 Jn 4:20) Right now your brother is a Roman
Catholic member while you are of the Apostolic Church, how
can both of you agree as far as Christian doctrines are
concerned? You continue to kill one another on questions of
faith. Whose teaching is that?
The Holy Spirit Is Omnipresent
Christ has said that it shall be neither in Jerusalem nor on
this mountain that you can worship God. What is the situation
today? When you are asked about your church denomination,
you argue that it is not in the city and that you have to travel
three miles before you get to it. For this reason you choose to
remain in your house. Can you not observe that you are
worshipping what you do not know? God is a spirit. He is
indwelling you and He is everywhere. The time is coming and
now is when the true worshippers shall worship Him in spirit
and in truth. This is the time.
You are a churchgoer but you have no love; there is no truth
in you, you have no patience, you have no humility, you have
no good manners, you do not realize that we are all one. What
actually do you go to do in the church? Do you know what you
are about? God is the God of might, and He says that
whosoever believes and is baptized shall be saved; and these
signs shall follow them that believe, "In my name shall they
53. cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 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." (Mark 16:17-18)
You profess to be a churchgoer but you come out of the
church and go straight to the native doctor; you take tablets
and injections, you carry some charms around your neck,
your head and in your pockets. Do you know what you are
worshipping?
Africans Do Not Know How To Order Their Priorities
God is omnipotent and omniscient. All Powers belong to the
Holy Spirit. He is all wise and is in everything. Right now that
the Holy Spirit has revealed Himself, we must worship God in
spirit and in truth. He is love and patience, truth and mercy;
He is everything and so there should be no distinction
between the whites and the blacks, the young and the old.
Since charity begins at home, we the Africans should know
ourselves. We should reason among ourselves. We are
carrying the carcass of an elephant on our heads but fiddling
with our feet to search for snails. How much will the snail
fetch us? The whites introduced the school systems, the
churches and their civilization to you. They have done well.
That is their own contribution. RIGHT NOW THE BLACKS
SHOULD INTRODUCE TO THEM THE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH IS
LOVE, TRUTH, ONENESS, HUMILITY AND GOODNESS. IT IS
THE TURN OF THE BLACK MAN TO UNIFY THE WHOLE
WORLD SO THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO DISTINCTION
BETWEEN THE JEWS AND THE GREEKS. He has said that
those who were not his people, He shall call his people and to
her that was not His beloved, He shall call His beloved. (Rom
9:25). Africans were neither His people nor his beloved, but
54. today God says to Africans "you are my people." And so
Africans must rise up and unite.

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

RELIGION
CARDINAL EKANEM
THE WHITES ARE SCATTERING ABROAD:
God was formerly referred to as the God of Isaac, Jacob,
Abraham and generally as the God of Israel. But the Israelites
do not practice the word of God. Therefore, if somebody
comes out of another race or country like Nigeria in Africa to
worship God, why should He not be revered and accepted by
all? People believe that God should always manifest only in
Israel. This is the problem with the Roman Catholic Church up
till now. They do not reckon any black man worthy for the
position of a pope in the organization. They specifically
reserve that position for the people of Roman origin. A
Nigerian by name Ekanem rose to the position of a cardinal.
He is the first black man to assume that position. However,
the whites know that if he continues to serve in that
capacity, in event of the death of the present pope, the next
person due to ascend to that throne will be Ekanem, hence
they hastily retired the African Cardinal. Can a man retire
from the services of God? Where does he retire to? Is it to the
worship of idols? Today, the widely acclaimed cardinal is
now in his village not as a cardinal but as a retired clergy. Is
this not funny? The funniest part of it all is that, he is a black
man. The whites do not see anything good in a black man. No
matter how effective and devoted a black man may be, the
whites cannot regard him as fit enough to rub shoulders with
them, not to talk of ruling over them. The whites do not
practice the word of God. They oppose Christ and fight
against Him hence, they scatter abroad. The entire churches
60. of the world are opposing Christ. They are against Him. They
neither teach nor follow His teachings. They devote their
time to preach about material things and they enrich their
pockets. This is contrary to the teachings of our Lord Jesus
Christ. He did not teach about material things but strictly the
things of the kingdom. His teachings basically centered on
love and peaceful co-existence with others. He teaches
nothing other than oneness. But unfortunately, man has
deviated from His teachings and made for himself colonies
and tribes. Man discriminates against his fellow man and
then goes on to create boundaries to differentiate tribes,
ethnic groups and languages. Even within a town, there may
be more than four groups with varied dialects, customs and
beliefs. I do not identify myself with this type of setting. I
believe in oneness, equality and universality. I practice and
teach love. I do not restrict my teachings to Biakpan, Cross
River State, Nigeria or Africa. My teachings are for the entire
people of the world; for the entire creation of God. I have no
particular interest for any man, tribe, group, nation or
continent. My main purpose or concern is in the word of God.
Whoever therefore, practices the word of God is with me and
such is mine. Except you practice the word of God, you are
deceiving yourself by calling me those praise names, as
papa, Savior, Comforter and others. I have nothing to do with
you a sinner. Do I fornicate, steal, kill, discriminate, and
commit other sinful acts as you do? If I do not engage in sin,
what then qualifi es us as friends? Your position, qualifi
cation, beauty, and wealth do not interest me. My only
business with you is that, you should practice the word of
God. If you come across someone who teaches and practices
love and other righteous acts yet you refuse to accept and
honor Him, then you have yourself to blame. You are
