WHY WAS CHRIST CRUCIFIED BETWEEN
TWO ROBBERS?
For there is one God, and one mediator
between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
(1Ti_2:5)
For as by one man's disobedience many were made
sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be
made righteous. (Rom 5:19)
PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE BEEN DYING
BUT THE DEATH OF CHRIST HAD A DIFFERENCE.
PEOPLE WOULD NOT HAVE COMPREHENDED OR
VISUALIZED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHRIST
AND THE OTHER HUMAN BEINGS BUT FOR THE
PROPHESY OF DAVID AS RECORDED IN Psalm
34:20 “He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is
broken.”
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
“But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his
side, and forthwith came there out blood and water."
So beloved brethren, you can see that JESUS THE
CHRIST WAS GOD, THE FATHER, AMONG MEN. HE
WAS ALSO CALLED THE SON OF MAN BECAUSE OF
THE BLOOD IN HIM. HE WAS ALSO CALLED THE SON
OF GOD DUE TO THE WATER IN HIM, AND FINALLY,
GOD WHICH THE SPIRIT SIGNIFIES. SO THAT WHEN
HE SAID THAT HE HAD SURRENDERED HIS SPIRIT,
THE FATHER DEPARTED AND HE THEN SLUMBERED.
AND WHEN THE SPEAR PASSED THROUGH HIS
BODY, THE WATER AND BLOOD WHICH CAME OUT
WASHED AWAY ALL OUR SINS AND INIQUITIES.
ONTO THIS DAY THAT BLOOD AND WATER ARE
STILL FLOWING AND WASHING US CLEAN AND
FREE. THIS IS WHERE OUR SALVATION COMES
FROM. IT WAS NOT THE MIRACLES OF HEALING THE
SICK, THE LAME, DEAF, BLIND OR RAISING THE
DEAD THAT REVEALED OR QUALIFIED HIM AS THE
CHRIST; OTHERWISE PETER, PAUL AND THE REST
OF THE APOSTLES WHO WERE ABLE TO PERFORM
SAME COULD EQUALLY HAVE CLAIMED HIS
POSITION.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
THE THIEF ON THE RIGHT HAND SYMBOLIZES THAT
RIGHT FROM HIS ADVENT UNTIL ETERNITY, THERE
IS NO RIGHTEOUS PERSON, AND THERE WILL
NEVER BE. IT IS HIS BLOOD ALONE THAT SAVED
MANKIND THROUGHOUT ETERNITY. HE IS THE
FIRST AND THE LAST (REV 22:13). THIS INDEED IS
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CRUCIFIXION. IF IN A
THOUSAND YEARS TIME SOMEBODY COMES TO
TELL YOU THAT HE IS YOUR SAVIOUR, DO NOT
BELIEVE HIM. IT IS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
ALONE WHO IS OUR SAVIOUR. UNTIL ETERNITY HE
IS THE ONLY SAVIOUR. RIGHT FROM ADAM, IF
MOSES OR ANY OTHER PERSON IS MENTIONED AS
YOUR SAVIOUR, THAT IS ERRONEOUS. IT IS OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST ALONE WHO IS THE SAVIOUR
OF THE WHOLE WORLD; AND HE HAS NO DEPUTY.

1Ti_2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator
between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
Rom 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many
were made sinners, so by the obedience of one
shall many be made righteous.
Heb 7:26 For such an high priest became us,
who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate
from sinners, and made higher than the
heavens;
Heb 7:27 Who needeth not daily, as those high
priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own
sins, and then for the people's: for this he did
once, when he offered up himself.
Joh 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming
unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God,
which taketh away the sin of the world.
Heb_12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new
covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that
speaketh better things than that of Abel.
THE BODY AND BLOOD OF OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST
Joh 6:51 I am the living bread which came
down from heaven: if any man eat of this
bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread
that I will give is my flesh, which I will give
for the life of the world.
Joh 6:48 I am that bread of life.
Mar 14:24 And he said unto them, This is my
blood of the new testament, which is shed
for many.
Mat 26:28 For this is my blood of the new
testament, which is shed for many for the
remission of sins.
OF THEM WHICH THOU GAVEST ME HAVE I
LOST NONE.
Joh 18:7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye?
And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
Joh 18:8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am
he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
Joh 18:9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he
spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost
none.
NO MAN CAN COME TO ME, EXCEPT THE FATHER
WHICH HATH SENT ME DRAW HIM: AND I WILL
RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY. (JOH 6:44 )
ALL THAT THE FATHER GIVETH ME SHALL COME TO
ME; AND HIM THAT COMETH TO ME I WILL IN NO
WISE CAST OUT. JOH 6:37
Joh 6:33 For the bread of God is he which cometh
down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
Joh 6:34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore
give us this bread.
Joh 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread
of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger;
and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Joh 6:36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen
me, and believe not.
Joh 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to
me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise
cast out.
Joh 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do
mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Joh 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath
sent me, that of all which he hath given me I
should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at
the last day.
Joh 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me,
that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth
on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise
him up at the last day.
Joh 6:41 The Jews then murmured at him, because
he said, I am the bread which came down from
heaven.
Joh 6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of
Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is
it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
Joh 6:43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto
them, Murmur not among yourselves.
Joh 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father
which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him
up at the last day.
Joh 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall
be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath
heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto
me.
Joh 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father,
save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
Joh 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Joh 6:48 I am that bread of life.
Mat 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took
bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to
the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
Mat 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks,
and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
Mat 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament,
which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Mat 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink
henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day
when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
Mar 14:22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread,
and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and
said, Take, eat: this is my body.
Mar 14:23 And he took the cup, and when he had
given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank
of it.
Mar 14:24 And he said unto them, This is my blood
of the new testament, which is shed for many.
Mar 14:25 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more
of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it
new in the kingdom of God.
ONE MEDIATOR
1Ti_2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator
between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Rom 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many
were made sinners, so by the obedience of one
shall many be made righteous.
Gal 4:3 Even so we, when we were children, were in
bondage under the elements of the world:
Gal 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come,
God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made
under the law,
Gal 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law,
that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Heb 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the
new testament, that by means of death, for the
redemption of the transgressions that were under
the first testament, they which are called might
receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Heb 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent
ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a
better covenant, which was established upon
better promises.
Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless,
then should no place have been sought for the
second.
Heb 7:26 For such an high priest became us, who is
holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners,
and made higher than the heavens;
Heb 7:27 Who needeth not daily, as those high
priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins,
and then for the people's: for this he did once,
when he offered up himself.
1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto
you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an
advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the
righteous:
1Jn 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and
not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole
world.
Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are
partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself
likewise took part of the same; that through death
he might destroy him that had the power of death,
that is, the devil;
Heb 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of
death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Heb 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of
angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
Heb 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to
be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a
merciful and faithful high priest in things
pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the
sins of the people.
Heb 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being
tempted, he is able to succour them that are
tempted.
Joh 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming
unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God,
which taketh away the sin of the world.
Joh 1:30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh
a man which is preferred before me: for he was
before me.
Joh 1:31 And I knew him not: but that he should be
made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come
baptizing with water.
Joh 1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the
Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it
abode upon him.
Joh 1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to
baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon
whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and
remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth
with the Holy Ghost.
Joh 1:34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the
Son of God.
Joh 1:35 Again the next day after John stood, and
two of his disciples;
Joh 1:36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he
saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
Heb 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the
bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we
draw nigh unto God.
Heb 7:20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he
was made priest:
Heb 7:21 (For those priests were made without an
oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto
him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a
priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
Heb 7:22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a
better testament.
Heb 7:23 And they truly were many priests, because
they were not suffered to continue by reason of
death:
Heb 7:24 But this man, because he continueth ever,
hath an unchangeable priesthood.
Heb 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to
the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing
he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Heb 7:26 For such an high priest became us, who is
holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners,
and made higher than the heavens;
Heb 7:27 Who needeth not daily, as those high
priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins,
and then for the people's: for this he did once,
when he offered up himself.
Heb 7:28 For the law maketh men high priests which
have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was
since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated
for evermore.
Heb 9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of
good things to come, by a greater and more
perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to
say, not of this building;
Heb 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves,
but by his own blood he entered in once into the
holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for
us.
Heb 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and
the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean,
sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Heb 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ,
who through the eternal Spirit offered himself
without spot to God, purge your conscience from
dead works to serve the living God?
Heb 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the
new testament, that by means of death, for the
redemption of the transgressions that were under
the first testament, they which are called might
receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Heb 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also
of necessity be the death of the testator.
Heb 9:17 For a testament is of force after men are
dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the
testator liveth.
Heb 9:18 Whereupon neither the first testament was
dedicated without blood.
Heb 9:19 For when Moses had spoken every precept
to all the people according to the law, he took the
blood of calves and of goats, with water, and
scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the
book, and all the people,
Heb 9:20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament
which God hath enjoined unto you.
Heb 9:21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the
tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
Heb 9:22 And almost all things are by the law
purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is
no remission.
SO WE, BEING MANY, ARE ONE BODY IN
CHRIST, AND EVERY ONE MEMBERS
ONE OF ANOTHER.
Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto
me, to every man that is among you, not to think of
himself more highly than he ought to think; but to
think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every
man the measure of faith.
Rom 12:4 For as we have many members in one
body, and all members have not the same office:
Rom 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ,
and every one members one of another.
THE DISCIPLES STRUGGLED AMONG THEMSELVES
WHO WOULD BE THE GREATEST AMONGST THEM.
BUT SINCE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TOOK HIS
PHYSICAL EXISTENCE FROM THIS EARTH PLAIN,
WHICH OF THEM STEPPED INTO HIS SHOES? NO
PERSON TOOK OVER FROM HIM. EACH PERSON IS
OCCUPYING HIS OWN POSITION. THERE IS THE
DIVISION OF LABOUR AND NO PERSON
ENCROACHES ON THE POSITION OF OTHERS. THE
GOLDEN TEXT SHOULD NOW BE READ.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
IT IS NOT EXPECTED THAT ANY ONE SHOULD
DECLARE HIMSELF TO BE JESUS OR CHRIST,
OR JEHOVAH OR GOD. DO WE NEED MANY
JESUSES?
HE IS THE MASTER, THE LORD OF LORDS AND
THE KING OF KINGS. HE IS IN HEAVEN, ON
EARTH AND IN US. HE DIED ONCE FOR THE
SAKE OF OUR SINS. FROM THENCE LIVES HE
A LIFE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.
AS MANY AS BELIEVE IN OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST AS THE SON OF GOD, THE SAME HAVE
RIGHT TO BE CALLED THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
ALL THOSE WHO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE
SPIRIT TESTIFY THAT OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST IS HERE. HE IS DOING THE WORK; HE
IS THE MASTER, THE LORD OF LORDS AND
THE KING OF KINGS. HE IS IN HEAVEN, ON
EARTH AND IN US. HE DIED ONCE FOR THE
SAKE OF OUR SINS. FROM THENCE LIVES HE
A LIFE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
FOREVER.
IT IS NOT EXPECTED THAT ANY OTHER
PERSON SHOULD DIE. IT IS NOT GIVEN THAT
THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM SHOULD DIE.
THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM MUST HAVE
ETERNAL LIFE. AND IT IS NOT EXPECTED
THAT ANY ONE SHOULD DECLARE HIMSELF
TO BE JESUS OR CHRIST, OR JEHOVAH OR
GOD. DO WE NEED MANY JESUSES? IS THE
ONE WE HAVE NOT SUFFICIENT? IT IS NOT
ALSO EXPECTED THAT ANYONE SHOULD GAZE
AT THE SKY. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM
THE SKY? THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, TRULY I
SAY UNTO YOU, HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME,
THE WORKS THAT I DO SHALL HE DO,
GREATER WORKS THAN THIS SHALL HE DO. IF
YOU BELIEVE IN HIM AND DO GREATER
WORKS, WHAT ELSE DO YOU EXPECT OF HIM
IN THE SKY?

"Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the
first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was
dead already, they brake not his legs. But one of the
soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith
came there out blood and water."
Though the soldier did not know the
significance of what he did, his action
revealed the man on the Cross as the Christ,
while the blood was the son of man and the
spirit was the Father.
So beloved brethren, you can see that JESUS THE
CHRIST WAS GOD, THE FATHER, AMONG MEN. HE
WAS ALSO CALLED THE SON OF MAN BECAUSE OF
THE BLOOD IN HIM. HE WAS ALSO CALLED THE SON
OF GOD DUE TO THE WATER IN HIM, AND FINALLY,

POSITION.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
Read LUKE 2:34-35 for confirmation:
"Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again
of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be
spoken against; (Yea, a sword shall pierce thy own
soul also) that the thoughts of many shall be
revealed."
Healing the sick or raising the dead are not what
revealed Christ as God; for even from the time of
Moses, those miracles were taking place. From the
olden days, visions and prophesies existed and these
are not the things that reveal God to man. However,
the things that reveal God to man are clearly
highlighted in this sermon.
PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE BEEN DYING
BUT THE DEATH OF CHRIST HAD A DIFFERENCE.
PEOPLE WOULD NOT HAVE COMPREHENDED OR
VISUALIZED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHRIST
AND THE OTHER HUMAN BEINGS BUT FOR THE
PROPHESY OF DAVID AS RECORDED IN Psalm
34:20
"He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is
broken."
This was fulfilled accordingly. The second point
which identified Jesus as the Christ was His
significant crucifixion between two robbers. AND
WHY WAS CHRIST CRUCIFIED BETWEEN TWO
ROBBERS? Let it be known that, the spirit in Him
kept the two robbers alive until when He made the
pronouncement: "Father, into thy hands I commend
my spirit." If Christ had not surrendered His spirit
into the Father's hand, he would not have died. THIS
EXPLAINS THE FACT THAT THE SPIRIT IS LIFE, AND
AS LONG AS IT REMAINS IN MAN, HE CANNOT DIE.
If Christ had not died at the time He was supposed to
die, His bones could have been broken, according to
the culture of the time. And so, when the Jews went
to inspect them on the Cross, they found out that He
had died; hence His bones were not broken, in
fulfillment of the prophesy of David as cited above.
However, the legs of the other two robbers were
broken since they were not dead at the time of
inspection. To test whether He was the Christ, the
Jews pierced His side and instantly, water and blood
gushed out through the hole made by the spear.
(John 19:32-34)
“Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the
first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was
dead already, they brake not his legs. But one of the
soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith
came there out blood and water.”
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
EVERYTHING HAPPENED ACCORDING TO THE WILL
OF GOD. THIS IS A PROOF THAT GOD IS THE CAUSE
AND EFFECT OF ALL THINGS.
All those who died from the time of ADAM were
under the imprisonment of death. None of them was
able to ascend unto heaven. This is because they
were under the yoke of evil and hades. As such,
when Christ cried out on the cross, the curtains of
the temple tore, the graves of the saints were
opened and they emerged from the graves. SEE
MATTHEW 27:50-53 FOR CONFIRMATION. “Jesus,
when he had cried again with a loud voice yielded up
the ghost. And behold, the veil of the temple was
rent in twain from the top to the bottom and the
earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves
were opened, and many bodies of the saints which
slept arose, And came out of the graves after his
resurrection, and went into the holy city and
appeared unto many.”
IT WAS CHRIST'S ASSIGNMENT TO SUBDUE DEATH
AND COLLECT ITS KEY. HAVING OVERCOME THE
POWER OF DEATH AND HADES AND COLLECTED ITS
KEYS, DEATH DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE.
NOTHING IMPRISONS AGAIN ( HEBREWS 2:14-15).
THIS IS WHY THE POPULATION OF THE WORLD
INCREASES BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS. NOW OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE KING AND LORD OVER
ALL PLANES OF MANIFEST, INCLUDING HEAVEN
AND EARTH. HE RULES OVER ALL THINGS CREATED
BY GOD. AND WHEN PERFECTION WILL BE THE
ORDER OF THE DAY, THERE WILL BE NO MORE
DEATH.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
I WANT TO TELL YOU WHY CHRIST WAS
CRUCIFIED BETWEEN TWO THIEVES.
1Ti_2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator
between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
THE TWO THIEVES ON THE CROSS:
Rom 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many
were made sinners, so by the obedience of one
shall many be made righteous.
CHRIST IS THE MEDIATOR OF THE NEW COVENANT
I want to tell you why He was crucified between two
thieves, one on His left and the other on his right
hand side (Luke 23:33). Even the professors of
religion do not know the meaning of the two thieves
being crucified on either side.
The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit constitute
the Triune God. Love hope and faith constitute one
God. The three persons on the cross meant one
person in effect. Thursday is a great day. Friday and
Saturday are also great days. These three days were
meant for three important celebrations of the Jews.
He was crucified in the middle of the two thieves
because He is the mediator of the New Covenant.
The thief on His left signifies that from the time of
Adam until the advent of the Christ there was no
single righteous man. The Bible has truly stated
there is none righteous, no, not one (Rom 3:10). And
so the thief on the left signified that from Adam until
He came, there was no righteous person. All of them
were thieves(JOHN 10:8). And so it is His blood that
saved and justified all those who lived from the time
of Adam until His advent.
THE THIEF ON THE RIGHT HAND SYMBOLIZES THAT
RIGHT FROM HIS ADVENT UNTIL ETERNITY, THERE
IS NO RIGHTEOUS PERSON, AND THERE WILL
NEVER BE. IT IS HIS BLOOD ALONE THAT SAVED
MANKIND THROUGHOUT ETERNITY. HE IS THE
FIRST AND THE LAST (REV 22:13). THIS INDEED IS
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CRUCIFIXION. IF IN A
THOUSAND YEARS TIME SOMEBODY COMES TO
TELL YOU THAT HE IS YOUR SAVIOUR, DO NOT
BELIEVE HIM. IT IS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
ALONE WHO IS OUR SAVIOUR. UNTIL ETERNITY HE
IS THE ONLY SAVIOUR. RIGHT FROM ADAM, IF
MOSES OR ANY OTHER PERSON IS MENTIONED AS
YOUR SAVIOUR, THAT IS ERRONEOUS. IT IS OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST ALONE WHO IS THE SAVIOUR
OF THE WHOLE WORLD; AND HE HAS NO DEPUTY.
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE SAVIOUR OF THE
WORLD
God has always done His thing in a marvelous way.
That is why when you see something that is not
clean, you attribute it to Satan. Whatever has a fault
is Satan. That is why we use this opportunity to tell
you that there is no other Savior apart from Him. Our
Lord Jesus Christ is the Savior of the whole world.
He is the Beginning and the End; the First and the
Last. That is why He alone has the right to judge the
just and the unjust. He alone loves man. Whether you
are a thief or a liar, Our Lord Jesus Christ loves you
because He alone has mercy.
That is why the Father says, after those days I will
put my laws into their minds and will write them in
their hearts. A neighbor shall not teach his neighbor
and a brother shall not teach his brother, saying,
know the Lord. For they shall all know me from the
least to the greatest. Because I will be merciful to
their unrighteousness and their sins and iniquities I
will remember no more. (Heb. 8:11-12). Right from
the sin of Adam until eternity, God does not
remember our sins again. This has been
accomplished by the death of Our Lord Jesus Christ
on the cross between the two thieves.
This lesson is given to you so that you may know
that He is your Saviour. It is not your father or
mother or brother or Abraham who has saved you.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the only Saviour of the
world. He is the Son of man, the Son of God and God
Himself. The second lesson will now be read.
Second Bible Lesson: Matthew 12:40
“For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the
belly of the whale, so shall the Son of man be three
days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”
Have you heard that? Since the Jews seek for signs
and the Greeks for wisdom, that is the sign that He
showed to them. That as Jonah was three days and
three nights in the whale’s belly, so shall the Son of
man be three days and three nights in the heart of
the earth. Is it not clear to you from this what is
meant by the Trinity God?
The Godheads
Thursday represented one God-head, Friday
represented another God-head and Saturday another;
and so we have tri-personal God. That is why we
baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit. That is why also everything is
shared here equally. That explains why baptism in
Brotherhood is quite different from baptism in any
other place in the world. During the first immersion,
it is said, “I baptize you in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” You repeat
the same words during the second and the third
immersions. These make up three which is one in
effect. Feel the pulses in your body during
celebrations such as this. All the sicknesses you
came with, court cases, sins, poverty and your lack,
including the old body you came with, all are taken
away by these observances which you honor. That is
what has deluded the whole world, and they keep
asking the type of Bible you have. What actually is
being done in Brotherhood? They do not know that
these observances we celebrate are very significant.
The various commemorative celebrations and
observances constitute the power in Brotherhood.
These constitute the Holy Spirit, love and peace
which you find in the Kingdom. His blood is flooding
in the whole world now, taking away deaths and
tribulations and afflictions.

There were two thieves, one on either side of Our
Lord Jesus Christ. Argue then that there was any
righteous man from Adam until His advent. But you
argue that you have no sin. From Adam until eternity
the world is full of thieves. He alone is the righteous
one. He has redeemed us with His blood. What do
you lose to admit that you are a sinner? Our Lord
Jesus Christ takes away your sins and makes you
clean the moment you admit that you are a sinner
and that He died for you. Mention any righteous man
on earth. We are all thieves as evidenced by the two
thieves on His either side. We are saved by grace for
His sake. He is the only Mediator. If you involve Him
in anything it will work well but when you exclude
him, there is no success. He alone has come to
mediate for the whole world because He is the only
righteous one. He intercedes for all the creations of
God. Let our Golden text be read.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER, AND
SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE
BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR
EXCERPT FROM THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL: OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED ON THURSDAY, NOT FRIDAY
WHY WAS CHRIST CRUCIFIED BETWEEN
TWO ROBBERS?
REVEALING THE CHRIST:
This sermon is a mystery to the entire universe. It
discusses nothing else but the Almighty God who is
even in our midst today. HE IS THE VERY BEING
THAT CAME DIED FOR THE SALVATION OF
THE ENTIRE WORLD. There are things that reveal
the presence and personality of God whenever He
manifests on earth. These things however, should
not have been revealed to “babes” like you and in
fact, at this time, but to the wise and high-ranking
people of the world. Nevertheless, it has pleased the
Holy Spirit to unveil this wisdom to you today. In
fact, the whole situation is in accordance with the
statement made by Jesus the Christ as recorded in
Luke 10:21
“I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
that thou hast hid these things from the wise and
prudent, and has revealed them unto babes: even so,
Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.”
Jesus the Christ was a mystery child. Prophet
Simeon noticed this when he was about to anoint the
infant Jesus and intimated the carnal parents- Mary
and Joseph about this.
Read LUKE 2:34-35 for confirmation:
“Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again
of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be
spoken against; (Yea, a sword shall pierce thy own
soul also) that the thoughts of many shall be
revealed.”
Healing the sick or raising the dead are not what
revealed Christ as God; for even from the time of
Moses, those miracles were taking place. From the
olden days, visions and prophesies existed and these
are not the things that reveal God to man. However,
the things that reveal God to man are clearly
highlighted in this sermon.
People all over the world have been dying but the
death of Christ had a difference. People would not
have comprehended or visualized the difference
between Christ and the other human beings but for
the prophesy of David as recorded in Psalm 34:20
“He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is
broken.”
This was fulfilled accordingly. The second point
which identified Jesus as the Christ was His
significant crucifixion between two robbers. AND
WHY WAS CHRIST CRUCIFIED BETWEEN TWO
ROBBERS? Let it be known that, the spirit in Him
kept the two robbers alive until when He made the
pronouncement: “Father, into thy hands I commend
my spirit.” If Christ had not surrendered His spirit
into the Father’s hand, he would not have died. THIS
EXPLAINS THE FACT THAT THE SPIRIT IS LIFE, AND
AS LONG AS IT REMAINS IN MAN, HE CANNOT DIE.
If Christ had not died at the time He was supposed to
die, His bones could have been broken, according to
the culture of the time. And so, when the Jews went
to inspect them on the Cross, they found out that He
had died; hence His bones were not broken, in
fulfillment of the prophesy of David as cited above.
However, the legs of the other two robbers were
broken since they were not dead at the time of
inspection. To test whether He was the Christ, the
Jews pierced His side and instantly, water and blood
gushed out through the hole made by the spear.
(John 19:32-34)
“Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the
first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was
dead already, they brake not his legs. But one of the
soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith
came there out blood and water.”
Though the soldier did not know the
significance of what he did, his action
revealed the man on the Cross as the Christ,
while the blood was the son of man and the
spirit was the Father.
So beloved brethren, you can see that JESUS THE
CHRIST WAS GOD, THE FATHER, AMONG MEN. HE WAS
ALSO CALLED THE SON OF MAN BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD
IN HIM. HE WAS ALSO CALLED THE SON OF GOD DUE TO
THE WATER IN HIM, AND FINALLY, GOD WHICH THE SPIRIT
SIGNIFIES. SO THAT WHEN HE SAID THAT HE HAD
SURRENDERED HIS SPIRIT, THE FATHER DEPARTED
AND HE THEN SLUMBERED. AND WHEN THE SPEAR
PASSED THROUGH HIS BODY, THE WATER AND
BLOOD WHICH CAME OUT WASHED AWAY ALL OUR
SINS AND INIQUITIES.
ONTO THIS DAY THAT BLOOD AND WATER ARE
STILL FLOWING AND WASHING US CLEAN AND
FREE. THIS IS WHERE OUR SALVATION COMES
FROM. IT WAS NOT THE MIRACLES OF HEALING THE
SICK, THE LAME, DEAF, BLIND OR RAISING THE
DEAD THAT REVEALED OR QUALIFIED HIM AS THE
CHRIST; OTHERWISE PETER, PAUL AND THE REST
OF THE APOSTLES WHO WERE ABLE TO PERFORM
SAME COULD EQUALLY HAVE CLAIMED HIS
POSITION.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Let me reiterate this question. Why was Christ
crucified in the middle of two robbers? Recall that
one of the robbers was placed on His left while the
other was on His right hand side. What is the
meaning of his arrangement? It is said that only the
king knows the secret of his kingdom. At JOHN
10:8, Our Lord Jesus Christ said: “All that ever came
before me were thieves and robbers and the sheep
did not hear them.”
The arrangement of the robbers with Christ is a
MYSTERY which no man had ever revealed and it has
pleased the Holy Spirit to reveal it today: FROM
THE FIRST CREATION OF ADAM TO OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST, ALL HAD ERRED AND
COMMITTED INIQUITIES. AND TO REVEAL
THAT THERE WAS NO RIGHTEOUS MAN ON
EARTH, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS
PLACED IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE SINNERS.
THE FIRST ROBBER ON HIS LEFT CONNOTES
THE PERIOD FROM ADAM TO CHRIST. THEN
FROM CHRIST IN THE CENTER TO THE OTHER
ROBBER ON THE RIGHT REPRESENTS THE
PERIOD OF THE ADVENT OF CHRIST TO
ETERNITY. THIS INVARIABLY MEANS THAT
FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD TO
ETERNITY, THERE IS NO JUST MAN OR
PERFECT MAN. (Romans 3:10-11).
THEREFORE, CHRIST BEING PLACED IN THE
MIDDLE OF THESE TWO PERIODS SIGNIFIES
THAT HE IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF
SALVATION AND MEDIATOR FOR ALL
GENERATIONS. Read the first Lesson below.
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 12:24
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn
of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it
abides alone: but if it dies, it bringeth forth
much fruit.”
THE CHILDREN OF GOD DO NOT DIE:
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING THAT
MEMBERS OF BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND
STAR ARE DYING. WHO INTIMATED THEM WITH
THIS WRONG NOTION? BROTHERHOOD MEMBERS
DO NOT DIE BUT ARE ON SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT- TO
BRING MORE CHILDREN OF GOD. THIS IS FOR THE
FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS.
YOU CAN SEE THE RAPID WAY IN WHICH THE
CHILDREN OF GOD ARE MULTIPLYING THESE DAYS.
There are many children of God who were slain for
the services of God. These are the people that are
sent back to the world to continue with their
services. Recall what is written in the scripture:
(Revelation 6:9-11)
“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under
the altar the souls of them that were slain for the
word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O
Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge
our blood on them that dwell on earth? And white
robes were given unto every one of them and it was
said unto them, that they should rest yet a little
season, until their fellow servants also and their
brethren that should be killed as they were, should
be fulfilled.”
People who kill, maim and torture the children of God
do not know the implications of their actions. They
do not know that they are only helping to get the will
of God fulfilled in their midst. Caiaphas had once
said that it was better for one person to die than for
the entire nation to perish. (JOHN 11:50). Little did
Caiaphas know that Christ’s departure would bring
more children of God to the world. EVERYTHING
HAPPENED ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD. THIS
IS A PROOF THAT GOD IS THE CAUSE AND EFFECT
OF ALL THINGS.
All those who died from the time of ADAM were
under the imprisonment of death. None of them was
able to ascend unto heaven. This is because they
were under the yoke of evil and hades. As such,
when Christ cried out on the cross, the curtains of
the temple tore, the graves of the saints were
opened and they emerged from the graves. SEE
MATTHEW 27:50-53 FOR CONFIRMATION.
“Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice
yielded up the ghost. And behold, the veil of the
temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom
and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the
graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints
which slept arose, And came out of the graves after
his resurrection, and went into the holy city and
appeared unto many.”
IT WAS CHRIST'S ASSIGNMENT TO SUBDUE DEATH
AND COLLECT ITS KEY. HAVING OVERCOME THE
POWER OF DEATH AND HADES AND COLLECTED ITS
KEYS, DEATH DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE.
NOTHING IMPRISONS AGAIN ( HEBREWS 2:14-15).
This is why the population of the world increases by
leaps and bounds. NOW OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS
THE KING AND LORD OVER ALL PLANES OF
MANIFEST, INCLUDING HEAVEN AND EARTH. HE
RULES OVER ALL THINGS CREATED BY GOD. AND
WHEN PERFECTION WILL BE THE ORDER OF THE
DAY, THERE WILL BE NO MORE DEATH.
God has descended on earth and His children have
filled the entire world. They are in every nook and
corner of the world. Hitherto, when there were no
children of God, there too was no Holy Spirit on
earth. But today, the Holy Spirit has descended to
live with His beloved children. This explains why
Jesus the Christ said: “It is expedient for you that I
go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not
come unto you: but if I depart, I will send him unto
you.” (JOHN 16:7).
Christ’s death therefore was to fulfill the above
excerpt. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS FOND OF
REFERRING TO GOD AS THE FATHER. And it was
during one of these times that Philip demanded to
know Who the Father really was; he said:
“Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast
thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me
hath seen the Father, and how sayest thou, show us
the Father.” (JOHN 14:9).
LET IT BE KNOWN THAT THE FATHER WHICH
CHRIST HAS BEEN REFERRING TO IS THE
HOLY SPIRIT. THIS SPIRIT IS THE DOER OF
ALL THINGS FROM CREATION. THAT SPIRIT IS
LIFE AND THAT WAS WHY IMMEDIATELY
CHRIST SURRENDERED THE SPIRIT, THE
MORTAL BODY SLUMPED. If you seek the Father
carefully, you will not see Him. That was why the
Jews regarded Him (Our Lord Jesus Christ) as an
insane person when He said He was in the Father
and the Father in Him. FROM THE CREATION OF
MAN, HAS ANY HUMAN BEING PERFORMED THE
TYPE OF JOB DONE BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST?
HE WAS NOT THE ONE DOING THE WORKS PER SE
BUT THE FATHER, EVEN THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE EVEN
MADE IT CLEAR THAT HIS WORDS AND WORKS ARE
DIRECTLY FROM THE FATHER AS HE SAID:
“Believest thou not that I am in the Father and the
Father in me? The words that I speak unto you, I
speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in
me, he doeth the works.” (JOHN 14:10).
Even on the Cross, Christ called on the Father and
surrendered His spirit onto Him before He could die.
WHAT WAS CRUCIFIED ON THE CROSS WAS
THEREFORE NOT CHRIST BUT THE SINS AND
INIQUITIES OF THE WORLD. The time He said He
had surrendered His Spirit to the Father was when
the Spirit departed from Him.
JESUS CHRIST WAS GOD THE FATHER:
Our Lord Jesus Christ throughout His ministration
had been attributing all the works He did to the
Father. Before then, people had been attributing the
successes and failures of the world to ghosts,
mermaid, beelzebub, charms, among others. Nobody
knew that God was responsible for everything. But
when the Jews noticed the miracles wrought by
Christ, they started calling Him king of the
Beelzebub. They even laughed Him to scorn, calling
Him the son of Mary and Joseph. THEY NEVER
BELIEVED THAT HE WAS THE SON OF MAN, SON OF
GOD AND GOD HIMSELF.
THERE ARE NO THREE GODS BUT ONE GOD, THE
TRIUNE GOD. THE SPIRIT, THE WATER, AND THE
BLOOD FORM THIS TRIUNE GOD. NO ONE KNOWS
WHERE THE WATER AND BLOOD COMES FROM OR
WHERE THEY GET DRIED TO. YOU SEE THAT GOD
CAN COME BY ANY NAME AND FORM. WHEN HE
CAME AS THE SON OF MAN, SON OF GOD AND GOD
HIMSELF, THEY TREATED HIM DISDAINFULLY, AND
FINALLY KILLED HIM. HOWEVER OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST WAS GOD AS WELL AS THE
SON OF GOD.
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS ALSO THE SPIRIT,
WHILE THE FLESH WAS THE HOUSE AND SO, WHEN
THE SPIRIT LEFT THE HOUSE, IT COLLAPSED
(SLUMPED). THIS HOUSE (FLESH) WAS PLACED
IN THE TOMB BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT
COMPLETED ITS SPIRITUAL ASSIGNMENT,
AFTER THREE DAYS AND NIGHTS, IT WENT
BACK TO THE HOUSE. AS SUCH CHRIST,
RESURRECTED WITH HIS FULL BODY. The
spirit is the owner of the house (physical
body) and so, what is referred to as
resurrection is just the revitalization of
the house by the spirit. THIS IS THE
MYSTERY OF THE MOST HIGH GOD.
IT IS THE SPIRIT WHICH IS GOD AND IT DOES
ALL THE WORK THOUGH YOU MAY NOT SEE
HIM. The churches, religious bodies, occult
and mystical organizations are trying their best
yet, they have not got this Spirit which is God.
Even the physical and esoteric scientist are
trying but they have not got it. SINCE THEY
CANNOT POSSESS THIS SPIRIT, IT MEANS
THEY HAVE NOT GOT GOD AND THEREFORE,
THEY CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF
GOD. That was why Christ said: “Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, except a man be born of water
and of the spirit he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God.” (JOHN 3:5). As God, Christ
knew that if He does not leave the house in
time the people would break his legs. So He
gave up the ghost accordingly. He did not want
to behave like Jacob who wrestled with an
angel and got this bone fractured.
“And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled
a man with him until the breaking of the day.
And when He saw that he prevailed not against
him, he touched the hollow of his and the
hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint.”
(GENESIS 32:24-25).
Now, if He had not given up the ghost, He
would have remained alive until the soldiers
came, in which case, they would have broken
His legs. This however would have been
contrary to the words of God which states
that: “He keepeth all his bones: not one of
them is broken.” (PSALM 34:20). In that case
He would not have been the Christ.
HOW THEN CAN WE RECOGNIZE GOD?
The spirit is life. Once the spirit leaves the
body, one is bound to die. Though the water
and blood could be shed from the body, if the
spirit is still intact, then one can still live until
the spirit finally departs. Let it be known that
as long as the spirit indwells the body, the loss
of water and blood from the body cannot cause
death. They will later return. THIS SO
BECAUSE THE SPIRIT IS THE FATHER WHILE
THE WATER AND BLOOD REPRESENTS THE
SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, RESPECTIVELY.
THESE CONSTITUTE THE TRIUNE GOD.
The whites are very strong minded fellows and
they can research daring situations about man
and nature. This is why they use the nature of
man in most of their inventions. The car they
have invented works with water, engine oil and
fuel. Whenever any of these three is lacking,
the car stops moving or develops serious
problems.
Even the way people are treated in the hospital
confirms the nature. When you are sick the
doctor may recommend that water or blood be
transfused into your body, if either of them is
lacking. The doctors know of water and blood
but they do not know about the spirit which is
the Father. For this reason, Christ said that if
one is not born of water and spirit, he cannot
have eternal life. See the second lesson below:
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: LUKE 23:46
“And when Jesus had cried with a loud
voice, he said, Father into thy hands I
commend my spirit: and having said
thus, he gave up the ghost.”
THE SPIRIT IDENTIFIES ONE AS GOD:
WHO IS GOD AND WHO IS THE SON? GOD IS
SPIRIT AND THE SON IS THAT SPIRIT AS
WELL. IN THEIR IGNORANCE, THE JEWS
THREW STONES AT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
WHEN HE SAID, “I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE.”
THIS EXPLAINS THAT THOUGH JESUS CAME
AS THE CHRIST, HE WAS ALSO THE FATHER,
FOR THE SPIRIT IS ONE. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE
THIS SPIRIT IT MEANS YOU HAVE NO GOD.
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ACCOMPLISHED HIS
ASSIGNMENT BECAUSE HE HAD THIS SPIRIT
IN HIM. WITHOUT THIS SPIRIT HE WOULD NOT
HAVE DONE HIS WORK SUCCESSFULLY.
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS SPIRIT IS NOT MEANT
FOR ALL THE PEOPLE TO POSSESS. IT IS
ONLY FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD. THIS IS
WHY THEY ACCOMPLISH THEIR ASSIGNMENT
SUCCESSFULLY. THE WORLDLY PEOPLE
CANNOT ACCOMPLISH THE WORK OF GOD.
The spirit possessed by the worldly
people is the Adamic spirit. This is the
spirit of disobedience. The possession of
this spirit is the cause of the whole
problem facing humanity today.
The worldly people are insisting that the power
in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is not
from God. BUT THEY HAVE FAILED TO
REALIZE THAT GOD IS THE ONLY POWER
THAT RULES ALL BEINGS. THEY DO NOT
KNOW THAT WHEN GOD COMES TO DWELL
WITH MAN, HE BECOMES A MAN BUT HE IS
HIDDEN FROM THE ORDINARY EYES. THE
ONLY WAY OF IDENTIFYING GOD IS BY THE
SPIRIT. Even when Andrew told his brother
Simon Peter that they have found the Messiah,
even the Christ, it was the spirit that revealed
him.
“One of the two which heard John speak and
followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s
brother. He first findeth his own brother Simon
and saith unto him, we have found the
Messiah, which is being interpreted, the
Christ.” (JOHN 1:40-41).
It is written that: “AND THERE ARE THREE
THAT BEAR WITNESS IN THE EARTH, THE
SPIRIT, THE WATER AND THE BLOOD: AND
THESE THREE AGREE IN ONE.” (1 JOHN 5:8).
In heaven there are three that also unite to
become one: “FOR THERE ARE THREE THAT
BEAR RECORD IN HEAVEN, THE FATHER, THE
WORD AND THE HOLY GHOST: AND THESE
THREE ARE ONE. AND THERE ARE THREE
THAT BEAR WITNESS ON EARTH, THE SPIRIT,
THE WATER AND THE BLOOD: AND THESE
THREE AGREE IN ONE.” (1 JOHN 5:7-8).
WHOEVER HAS THESE QUALITIES IS TRULY
GOD. DO NOT BOTHER TO VISIT MECCA,
JERUSALEM, AMERICA OR ANY OTHER PLANE
OR CONTINENT IN SEARCH OF GOD; FOR IF
THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS NOT IN YOU, YOU
CANNOT DO ANYTHING. HE IS THE ONLY ONE
WHO CAN USE YOU TO FULFILL ANY
ASSIGNMENT.
Everything that happened to Our Lord Jesus
Christ was a fulfillment of all the prophesies
about Him. Even as Simon prophesied that a
sword shall pierce through Him, it happened
accordingly.
It was said that water and blood shall gush out
of his side. It also came to pass. The
fulfillment of these prophesies proved Him as
Christ. It should be noted that if the water and
blood did not pass out of His side, our
iniquities could not have been washed away.
THE DEATH OF CHRIST HAS THEREFORE
LEFT A FOUNTAIN OF WATER WHEREBY
WE ALL BATHE FOR THE REMISSION OF
OUR SINS. IT MAY BE INTERESTING TO
NOTE THAT IT WAS ALSO FOR THIS
REASON THAT JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS
ASKED TO BAPTIZE WITH WATER.
THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER STRESSED:
Henceforth, do not have the erroneous
belief that baptism shall cease to be.
BAPTISM BY IMMERSION SHALL REMAIN
FOREVER. It is a source of salvation for
humanity. If your sins and iniquities are not
washed away, then you will die with your sins
intact. Through faith and baptism, your sins
are forgiven and having been washed with the
blood of Christ, the Holy Spirit which is life
comes into you.
Water and blood and spirit are one. When you
are dipped in water by way of baptism, it
means you are buried with Christ and
when you emerge, you are emerging with
life.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU MAY DO, IF YOU ARE
NOT BORN OF WATER, BLOOD AND SPIRIT,
YOU HAVE NO SALVATION. OR SIMPLY PUT,
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY ONE CAN BE
SAVED EXCEPT HE IS BORN OF WATER,
BLOOD AND SPIRIT. A LOT OF PEOPLE DO
NOT TAKE THIS BAPTISM SERIOUSLY. THEY
DO NOT EVEN REGARD THE CONFESSION OF
SINS AS ANYTHING IMPORTANT IN LIFE. THE
CHURCHES DO NOT STRESS THIS EXERCISE
AS A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF WORSHIP.
HOWEVER, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
EMPHASIZED ON ITS IMPORTANCE BY SAYING
THAT UNLESS ONE IS BORN OF WATER AND
OF SPIRIT, SUCH CANNOT ENTER INTO THE
KINGDOM OF GOD.
WHEREVER YOU MAY GO, IF THE WORD
OF GOD IS NOT DISCUSSED AND
BAPTISM IS NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY, AS
WELL AS CONFESSION OF SINS, THEN
DEPART FROM SUCH A PLACED FOR THE
HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT DWELL
THEREIN.
EVEN WHEN YOU ENTER A BETHEL, IF YOU
FIND NO HOLY OIL, AND WATER THERE, THEN
KNOW THAT GOD IS NOT IN SUCH A BETHEL.
WHEREVER YOU GO AND YOU DO NOT FIND
THE WORD OF GOD, WATER AND HOLY OIL,
THEN DEPART FROM THAT PLACE FOR THE
PEOPLE THERE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY
ARE DOING. THESE THREE THINGS BEAR
WITNESS TO THE FACT THAT GOD IS
PRESENT IN SUCH A PLACE.
These three things are the main weapon used
in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. THE
HOLY OIL SIGNIFIES THE BLOOD OF GOD
(CHRIST). THIS IS WHAT IS USED IN
FORGIVING ALL YOUR SINS AND
INIQUITIES. THE WATER IS USED IN
WASHING AND CLEANING ALL
FILTHINESS AND ONE BECOMES
SANCTIFIED.
BAPTISM IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE
CROSS AND STAR IS COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THE CHURCHES
AND CULTS DO ALL OVER THE WORLD.
FOR THIS REASON ONE MUST BE
BAPTISED AGAIN INTO BROTHERHOOD
OF THE CROSS AND STAR THOUGH ONE
MAY HAVE BEEN BAPTISED SEVERAL
TIMES ELSEWHERE. HERE YOU MUST
CONFESS AND REPENT OF ALL YOUR
SINS BEFORE BAPTISM. ONCE YOU
CONFESS, REPENT AND YOU ARE
BAPTISED YOU HAVE BECOME A
DIFFERENT PERSON. YOUR SALVATION
HERE STARTS THE VERY DAY YOU ARE
BAPTISED. THIS IS SO BECAUSE YOU
ARE FIRST GIVEN THE WORDS OF GOD
BEFORE YOUR CONFESSION. WITHOUT
PASSING THROUGH THIS WAY, YOU ARE
WASTING YOUR TIME. THAT IS WHY THE
CHURCHES ARE NOW EMPTY. THEY DO
NOT PASS THROUGH THE RIGHT WAY TO
GOD AND SO THEY SCATTER BECAUSE
OF NOT HAVING RECEIVED THE HOLY
SPIRIT, THEY HAVE NO LIFE
There are very many persons in the world who
have their shares in this kingdom but they
cannot receive them yet because they are not
born of water, blood, and Holy Spirit. There are
many others who claim to be baptized but have
neither their sins remitted nor the Holy Spirit in
them. Their baptism is just like having an
ordinary bath in the stream or river. It can only
become meaningful only when they are
anointed with the Holy Oil which signifies the
blood of Christ. Once you are anointed after
baptism, the Holy Spirit takes possession of
your body and you are admitted into the
kingdom of God.
SOMETIMES YOU FAST AND PRAY YET THE
HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT MANIFEST. THIS IS
BECAUSE YOU DID NOT START WITH
CONFESSION OF SINS AND THE SPRINKLING
OF WATER AND HOLY OIL. Read the Golden
Text below: GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 19:34
“But one of the soldiers with a spear,
pierced his side and forthwith came
there out blood and water.”
THE HOLY OIL AND WATER ARE THE SIGNS OF
THE TRIUNE GOD:
Brethren, you have now realized that the water
and blood that came out of Him washed away
our sins. That is why here in Brotherhood of
the Cross and Star, we deal with Holy Oil,
water and the word of God. If someone goes to
his house and gives you any other thing, do not
receive. Do not receive drugs, roots, leaves, or
any form of medication for God is not in such
things.
All problems are solved and sicknesses healed
by these three things- WATER, OIL AND THE
WORDS OF GOD. If a patient has sinned let him
confess all his sins. Then give him THE WORD
OF GOD, HOLY WATER AND OIL. In this way, he
will be healed or his problems will be solved.
Do not accept any diabolical substances from
any person.
There is a common mistake made by everyone,
that is regarding the Holy Oil as medication.
That is why some people add it to their tea,
soup, and use it as purgative. They use it for
all types of things, they even use it as
tablets. THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE. A
member of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star
can even empty three containers of holy oil at
the same time.
Now let it be known that once you have
been baptized into Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star, YOU ARE NOT TO DRINK
OR USE THE HOLY OIL ANY HOW. YOU
ONLY USE IT WHEN A SINNER REPENTS
AND DECIDES TO CONFESS HIS SINS.
AFTER CONFESSION, YOU SPRINKLE
HOLY WATER AND USE THE SAME TO
ANOINT SUCH A PERSON. YOU CAN PUT
THREE DROPS OF HOLY OIL IN A
CONTAINER OF WATER AND DRINK IT OR
ANOINT PEOPLE WITH IT.
THIS HOLY OIL AND WATER USED IN
BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND
STAR ARE NO DRUGS OR CHARMS.
THESE ARE THE SIGNS OF THE
PRESENCE OF THE TRIUNE GOD IN OUR
MIDST. I HAVE NEVER ASKED YOU TO
DRINK THE HOLY OIL BUT TO USE IT AS
THE SIGN OF CHRIST'S BLOOD. ONCE
YOU MAKE A SIGN OF THE CROSS WITH
THE HOLY OIL ON ANY PERSON WHO
HAS CONFESSED HIS SINS, HIS
SICKNESSES ARE HEALED. THERE IS NO
TYPE OF SICKNESS THAT CANNOT BE
HEALED IN THIS WAY. IT IS NOT AN
EASY THING TO POSSESS THE HOLY
SPIRIT, UNLESS THROUGH THE
FORGIVENESS OF OUR SINS WITH THE
RIGHT USAGE OF THE HOLY OIL WHICH
IS THE BLOOD OF CHRIST.
So beloved, a stroke of the cane is enough for the
wise. May the Father bless His Holy Words, Amen.
THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
WHO BELIEVES IN RESURRECTION?
Our Lord Jesus Christ has advised that when
you make a feast, you should invite the poor,
the maimed, the lame and the blind, in order
that you would be blessed, for they cannot
compensate you. You would be compensated
at the resurrection of the just.
About 99 percent of the population of the world
does not believe in the resurrection. If you
were to hope on resurrection then you would
not have pitied yourself about death because
death does not exist. But do what is good
knowing that whatever you do, you are sowing
for yourself.
THE DISCIPLES STRUGGLED AMONG THEMSELVES
WHO WOULD BE THE GREATEST AMONGST THEM.
BUT SINCE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TOOK HIS
PHYSICAL EXISTENCE FROM THIS EARTH PLAIN,
WHICH OF THEM STEPPED INTO HIS SHOES? NO
PERSON TOOK OVER FROM HIM. EACH PERSON IS
OCCUPYING HIS OWN POSITION. THERE IS THE
DIVISION OF LABOUR AND NO PERSON
ENCROACHES ON THE POSITION OF OTHERS. THE
GOLDEN TEXT SHOULD NOW BE READ.
Golden Text: John 14:18
“I will not leave you comfortless; I am coming unto
you.”
WHAT IS READ TO YOU IS QUITE PLAIN. BUT OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS SPEAKING IN THE
PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE. “I AM COMING
BACK TO YOU.” HE DID NOT SAY THAT HE WILL
COME BACK TO YOU. IT IS THEREFORE,
ERRONEOUS FOR YOU TO PRAY THAT OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST SHOULD COME BACK AGAIN. TO
WHERE DID HE GO? HE SAYS, “I AM COMING BACK.”
HE HAS NOT INDICATED HIS RETURN IN THE
FUTURE.
A Challenge To The World That Christ Has Not
Gone Anywhere Since His Resurrection:
READ THE THREE TEXTS TO THE IGNORANT
AND THE FOOLS. SHOW THEM TO ALL THE
INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD BECAUSE I
DECLARE THIS FROM HIGH HEAVENS. WHEN
THEY HOLD THE BELIEF THAT HE WILL COME
BACK AGAIN, I CHALLENGE THEM.
He says it was expedient that He went away,
because if He did not go away, the Comforter
would not come to you; but if He went away,
He would send the Comforter unto you. He
says again: “except a grain of corn falls on the
ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies
it brings forth much fruit. He says finally in the
golden text: “I will not leave you comfortless, I
am coming unto you.” This means that our Lord
Jesus Christ has not left us to even one inch.
He has been with mankind since His
resurrection and the Father is doing His work.
However, a great many people still feel that He
is in the sky, while others say until He comes
back again. And I ask you where has He ever
been to?
Apart From Our Lord Jesus Christ, No Person
Grants Your Request
HAS HE NOT ADVISED THAT WHATEVER WE
ASK THE FATHER THROUGH HIS NAME, HE
WILL SURELY DO IT FOR US. HAS HE EVER
ADVISED YOU TO ASK THROUGH ANY OTHER
NAME OR THROUGH ANY OTHER THING? BUT
HE SAYS, “IF YOU SHALL ASK ANYTHING IN
MY NAME, I WILL DO IT.” (JOHN 14:13). CAN
SUCH A STATEMENT BE MADE BY A DEAD
PERSON OR SOMEBODY WHO TRAVELS TO A
DISTANT PLACE? Ask your carnal father for
anything whether he will do it for you. Ask the
government for anything you like, whether it
will be done for you. But ask Him, He is a living
person, and He will grant your request.
You do not read your Bible, and if even you
read, you do not understand it. Our Lord Jesus
Christ does not die forever. Do you also know
that His ascension means descent? The day
He ascended into heaven was the day He came
down to the earth. Similarly, when He
descended to the earth in His carnal
manifestation, He ascended into heaven.
The story of our Lord Jesus Christ is not a
simple one. The time of his birth was the time
of his death and the time of His death was the
time He regenerated, full of power, endowed
with wisdom and powers, having power to rule
the world.
By The Obedience Of One Shall Many Be Made
Righteous. (Rom 5:19)
Can you notice the folly of man? Caiaphas had
told the people that they knew nothing at all or
would they consider that it was expedient for
us, that one man should die for the people than
the whole world to perish. (John 11:49-54).
Our Lord Jesus Christ was of the opinion that it
was expedient that He should die because that
meant coming up again. Brethren, examine
critically which of the actions taken against
our Lord Jesus Christ was evil. That of
Caiaphas or that of those who arrested Him
and His death. Because if these things did not
take place, Our Lord Jesus Christ could not
have come into the world.
Regeneration: To Save It Means Liberty
When you are in the flesh you are in a
confinement, like somebody’s movement being
restricted by the four walls of a prison cell.
There are certain places you cannot go or
reach. But when you resurrect and become
regenerated, you travel to any place at all
without a passport and visa.
You can enter the flesh as well as the Spirit;
enter water and the fire also. It is quite easy to
enter everywhere. Can you not realize that He
is the doer of the work at this end of time in
the world? When I tell you that I am not the
doer but He, you always laugh.
DO NOT GAZE AT THE SUN NOR ON THE
MOON; DO NOT GO TO INDIA OR BRITAIN. IF
SOMEBODY TELLS YOU THAT HE IS IN THE
MOON, DO NOT GO BECAUSE HE HAS COME
BACK, SINCE THEN; AND HE HAS BEEN HERE
DOING HIS WORK EVERY TIME, EVERYWHERE.
HE IS NEVER SICK, DOES NOT EXPERIENCE
PAINS, HAS NO PROBLEMS.
Christ Is Omnipresent
Even the three days He was supposed to have
been in the grave, He did not rest. He spent the
three days destroying death and pains of
death, collecting the keys of hades and of
death and taking complete dominion over
hades as the King of heaven. He also released
all the members bound.
Do you say again that our Lord Jesus Christ is
in the sky, because He is always in the sky. He
is in the sun, the moon, in the forest, inside
water. He is in your heart; He is in your house
walking majestically and boldly. CALL EVERY
TIME WITHOUT GETTING TIRED. HE IS
HUMAN, HE IS THE SPIRIT, HE IS FIRE AND
AIR AND WATER, HE IS ALL AND IN ALL.
Flesh And Blood Cannot Serve God. (1 Cor
15:50/ Matt 16:17)
Do not be proud that you are doing the work. It
is our Lord Jesus Christ who does the work. Do
not be conceited that somebody is capable of
doing everything. No flesh and blood can do
the work apart from our Lord Jesus Christ.
That is why you are advised to mortify the
flesh and live by the spirit. If you mortify the
flesh, you will be one Spirit with Him. THOUGH
WE HAVE KNOWN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
AFTER THE FLESH, YET NOW AND
HENCEFORTH WE KNOW HIM NO MORE LIKE
THAT. (2 COR 5:16)
You only need to refrain from drinking,
fornication, adultery, falsehood, theft and the
rest of the vices and surrender yourself to Him,
see Him, serve Him and dwell with Him and He
will gain dominion over all and He will be seen
lavishly everywhere.
Brotherhood Is The Kingdom Of God!
Do you not remember that people in the world
address you as witches and wizards? This is
based on the little faith you have, because you
are being seen physically everywhere. Two or
three persons confess they see you at the
same time, in their houses, at the hospital, you
converse with them, whether they close their
eyes or not and so they conclude that yours is
not a church but one of the most powerful
witchcraft cults. They see you both physically
and spiritually; you are being seen in the moon
and in the stars, in water and everywhere. That
is why no matter what explanations you put
forward, they do not seem convinced that
yours is not a secret society but insist that you
belong to a very powerful cult.
You Work Harder After Regeneration!
Many of you argue that you have gone
overseas. I tell you, you have been travelling
down there; you are entering inside water and
loosening those that are bound in chains, you
are climbing to great heights and loosening the
ropes. You are entering everywhere and
releasing all those who are chained; and
liberating all those in bondage. You go to the
hospitals and liberate those affected by the
machinations of the evil ones. That is why they
conclude that your witchcraft is the most
powerful in the world.
Those who are Christ’s have crucified their
flesh with the affections and lusts, and are
now living in the spirit. (Gal 5:24). This is a
spiritual warfare. You need no candle or
incense or perfume or any other thing. But
wherever you go to, people are always
petrified with such fear and astonishment that
they openly say that the wizards and witches
have arrived again. The spirits will reveal to
the people what you are; and the elemental
spirits of the universe will bow down to you.
Mortify The Flesh With Its Lusts And
Affections! (Rom 8:13).
Have you not been confronted with the
question, to what society do you belong? As
small as you are, if you are seen in the spirit,
people would be bamboozled. One person
alone to enter Calabar would ward off all evils
and render all charms useless. That is why it
sounds unbelievable to them that you should
be a man of God. The world does not believe
but insist that you are a witch or a wizard. For
the flesh lusts against the spirit and the spirit
against the flesh, and these are contradictory
to the other, so that you cannot do the things
that you should. (Rom 8:5-8). If, therefore, you
mortify the flesh, you will live in the spirit.
The doctrines delivered to you, have never
existed anywhere else in the world. This marks
the end of the period when ever-lasting
gospels are given to you.
Brethren, I do not intend to be tedious unto
you, one stroke of the cane is sufficient for the
wise. Those who have ears, let them hear. May
God bless His Words. Amen.

Of The Universe, on:-“THE MYSTERY OF
DEATH”
REJOICE IN OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST
YOU ARE GODS, NO MATTER YOUR
CONDITION
Any spirit which tells you that somebody
will bolt from the blues and crash-land
on the ground like an eaglet is not of
God but carnal and demonic. Why the
Jews crucified our Lord Jesus Christ
was that He being man claimed He was
the Son of God. And they killed Him
because they had not the spirit of God in
them. Up till today, the Jews still assert
that God has no child. This assertion
implies that there is no God, for if God
has no child, who is your father? All
such disputes and confusions which
trouble the world stem from the flesh.
There are some people here whose study
of the evolutionary process of man
makes them believe that there is no God
and that life started from the sea bed
creatures, to reptiles, to the present
Homo sapiens. Go to the universities;
listen to scientists and many others you
will realize that no one believes in God.
That is why you behave unseemingly. It
is written in your law that you are gods,
the children of the Most High God but
you shall die like men. If you are a god,
then dying like men will not stop you
from being a god. If you are a Son of God
and you die, this does not change the
fact that you are a child of God. If you
are a god and you get sick, it does not
mean that you are no longer a god.
Because you are sick, if you are a god
and are disgraced or are hungry, or in
lack, it does not mean that those things
would not have come to you were you
not to be a god. Have you not seen what
happens in the world with God Almighty?
In the beginning God said let us make
man in our own image, after our
likeness. What is the meaning of making
man in our own image? This means that
man should look like God. When you
argue that God is not man, what then is
God? Is He a tree? Were God not man,
how would He have made man in this
form which according to Him is His own
image? Now you argue that man is not
God. If man is not God, what is man?
What is God? Is He not man? God put
everything under man’s care that he
should superintend over fishes, animals,
birds and every other thing. He also
ordered man to name all creatures. Now,
the flesh has deceived you into believing
that man is not God. If man is not God,
what is man? Let us assume that man is
not God, but the Son of God. But you
argue that man is not a child of God.
What then is man, when you say that
man is neither God nor a Son of God, but
believing in our Lord Jesus Christ what
was he?
The birth of our Lord Jesus Christ was to
confound all wisdom. Mary was
conceived for nine months, after which
Jesus was delivered and people from
east and west paid obeisance to Him.
Argue that such birth did not take place.
If you will argue that our Lord Jesus
Christ is the Child of God, whose child
are you? This issue leads to yet another.
Mary gave birth to Jesus the Christ as
her first child, He was a Son of God, and
she also gave birth to others, the sons of
men. We have our support from the Bible
that those who are born of the flesh are
carnal and those born of the spirit are
spiritual. Our Lord Jesus Christ was born
of the spirit and others were carnal. Can
you not realize that man is of two
categories? Amongst us, there are the
sons of God and the sons of men. Now
that you argue that God has just one
son, does it mean that He ended His
action by begetting only our Lord Jesus
Christ? Has God not begotten any other
person despite the teeming population of
the inhabitants of the world? Can you
say that our Lord Jesus Christ was the
first and last child of God?
Secondly, do you believe that since after
the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ,
He is still in the atmosphere? Did you
not read that after three days He
resurrected and showed Himself to the
people? And when the disciples were
terrified He told them:
“Behold My hands and My feet, that it is
Myself: handle Me, and see; for a spirit
hath not flesh and bones, as ye see Me
have.” While they yet believed not for
joy, and wondered, He said unto them,
have ye here any meat, and they gave
Him a piece of boiled fish, and of honey
comb. And He took it and did eat before
them. (John 24:36 -45).
BROTHERHOOD IS NOT OF THE FLESH
(BCS)
All the confusion and doubt that abound
in the world comes from the flesh. That
is the spirit of Lucifer who did promise
to trouble the world. We in Brotherhood
rejoice in our Lord Jesus Christ, and
have confidence in the spirit. That is
why, those who are ignorant of what
Brotherhood is, call it a new church. But
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is the
Kingdom of God. We do not worship
carnality. We do not rejoice in any other
thing apart from our Lord Jesus Christ.
We do not live according to the dictates
of the flesh but by the directives of the
spirit.
ALSO WE DO NOT LOOK OR SEE THINGS
CARNALLY, NEITHER DO WE HEAR WITH
THE CARNAL EARS, WE DO ALL THINGS
IN THE SPIRIT. WE KNOW NO MAN
THROUGH THE FLESH BUT THROUGH
THE SPIRIT. WE DO NOT REJOICE IN
MONEY, OR SIZE, OR POSITION AND
WHETHER YOU ARE A MINISTER,
LAWYER, DOCTOR OR A CHIEF, WE
REJOICE IN THE SPIRIT. OUR BOLDNESS
AND HAPPINESS IS IN OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST BECAUSE HE CAME, DIED,
RESURRECTED AND HE IS NOW LIVING
TO BE GLORIFIED.
HIS REIGN HAS NO BEGINNING AND NO
END. HE IS OUR CAPTAIN. HE REIGNS IN
HEAVEN AND ON EARTH, IN THE WATER
AND IN OUR BODY. IN ALL PLACES, HE
REIGNS THOUGH THE WORLD KNOWS
HIM NOT, WE HAVE SEEN AND KNOWN
HIM. WE DO NOT BOAST, IN THE MONEY
HE GIVES US. WE DO NOT BOAST, IN THE
LIFE HE GIVES US. WE DO NOT BOAST IN
THE WISDOM, HE GIVES US.
WE REJOICE IN HIM BECAUSE HE WILL
NOT FAIL US FOREVER. AS HE HAD
PROMISED THAT "WHEN I GO AND
PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU, I WILL
COME BACK AND TAKE YOU TO
MYSELF," HIS PROMISE IS FULFILLED IN
US TODAY. HE SAID, "I WILL NOT LEAVE
YOU COMFORTLESS, I WILL COME UNTO
YOU". HE HAS COME UNTO US. NONE OF
US HERE BOASTS OF WHAT WE HAVE.
WE DO NOT EVEN REJOICE IN OUR
CARNAL FATHER OR ANY OTHER THING.
OUR HAPPINESS IS IN CHRIST JESUS,
BECAUSE HE IS THE CONQUEROR AND
OUR ARMOR BEARER. MANY PEOPLE
PROFESS THAT THEY ARE CHRIST’S, OR
JESUS, OR SPIRIT, BUT THEY DO NOT
PREACH ABOUT HIM, NEITHER DO THEY
BOAST IN HIM. IF YOU BOAST IN OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHY DO YOU NOT
DO SO IN THE SPIRIT? IF YOU ARE
WALKING IN THE SPIRIT, WHY DO YOU
NOT BOAST IN OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST? BRETHREN, I DO NOT WANT TO
BELABOR YOU, LET OUR FIRST LESSON
BE READ:
FIRST LESSON: PHILIPPIANS 3: 3
“For we are the circumcision, which
worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in
Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in
the flesh.”
REJOICE IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
Brethren, have you heard the Scripture?
Why you have problems is that you do
not rejoice in our Lord Jesus Christ and
many of you have no confidence in the
spirit. EARTHLY THINGS ARE LIKE THE
DEW, WHICH IS TRANSITORY, BUT OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST ABIDES FOREVER.
DO NOT PUT YOUR HOPE IN MAN, OR
MONEY, OR ANY OF THE EARTHLY
THINGS. BUT, LET YOUR HOPE, FAITH,
HAPPINESS AND CONFIDENCE BE IN OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST FOR HE WILL NOT
FAIL YOU.
PEOPLE ARE INVESTIGATING THE
CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE
BIRTH OF THE LEADER AND THE SORT
OF FOOD HE EATS. THEY ARE
RESEARCHING INTO HIS KIND OF
APPAREL, ALL IN A BID TO DISCOVER
THE SOURCE OF HIS POWER. THESE
PERSONS ARE TO BE GREATLY PITIED.
I HIDE NOTHING FROM YOU AND I HAVE
BEEN TELLING YOU THAT I AM
POWERLESS AND NONE EXISTING. BUT
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HAD SAID
THAT “ALL POWER IN HEAVEN AND ON
EARTH HAD BEEN HANDED OVER TO ME.
GO YE THEREFORE, AND TEACH ALL
NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE
NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE
SON, AND OF THE HOLY GHOST.
TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL
THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE
COMMANDED YOU.” IT IS ON THIS
PROMISE THAT I OPERATE.
HE SAID, WHOEVER BELIEVES IN ME,
BELIEVES NOT IN ME BUT IN HIM WHO
SENT ME. AT TIMES HE WOULD SAY I,
AND THE FATHER ARE ONE. DO YOU NOT
REALIZE THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN
THE SON BELIEVES IN THE FATHER,
WHOEVER REJECTS THE SON HAS NOT
THE FATHER.
AS MANY AS BELIEVE IN OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST AS THE SON OF GOD, THE
SAME HAVE RIGHT TO BE CALLED THE
CHILDREN OF GOD. ALL THOSE WHO
HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE SPIRIT
TESTIFY THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
IS HERE. HE IS DOING THE WORK; HE IS
THE MASTER, THE LORD OF LORDS AND
THE KING OF KINGS. HE IS IN HEAVEN,
ON EARTH AND IN US. HE DIED ONCE
FOR THE SAKE OF OUR SINS. FROM
THENCE LIVES HE A LIFE OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS
FOREVER.
IT IS NOT EXPECTED THAT ANY OTHER
PERSON SHOULD DIE. IT IS NOT GIVEN
THAT THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM
SHOULD DIE. THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN
HIM MUST HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. AND IT
IS NOT EXPECTED THAT ANY ONE
SHOULD DECLARE HIMSELF TO BE
JESUS OR CHRIST, OR JEHOVAH OR
GOD. DO WE NEED MANY JESUSES? IS
THE ONE WE HAVE NOT SUFFICIENT? IT
IS NOT ALSO EXPECTED THAT ANYONE
SHOULD GAZE AT THE SKY. WHAT DO
YOU EXPECT FROM THE SKY? THE
SCRIPTURE SAYS, TRULY I SAY UNTO
YOU, HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME, THE
WORKS THAT I DO SHALL HE DO,
GREATER WORKS THAN THIS SHALL HE
DO. IF YOU BELIEVE IN HIM AND DO
GREATER WORKS, WHAT ELSE DO YOU
EXPECT OF HIM IN THE SKY?
People initiate into many secret
societies as well as various forms of
diabologies in order to be saved. But
instead of getting salvation, disaster
still befalls them. And our Lord Jesus
Christ said, “Whoever believes and is
baptized shall be saved, but whoever is
not baptized shall be damned. And these
signs shall follow them that believe. In
My name shall they cast out devils; they
shall speak with new tongues.
They shall take up serpents, and if they
drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt
them; they shall lay hands on the sick,
and they shall recover.” It is as simple
as that by coming out of the water of
baptism, these signs follow you. Is there
any of you who is not followed by these
signs? It is this issue that baffles all the
inhabitants of the world and that is why
they keep asking the source of power in
Brotherhood? But of a truth, I tell you
the moment you believe and are
baptized, these signs shall follow you.
You are not charged any money; neither
are you given any other conditions.
What do you think God is? God is the
Word, and what is the Word? The Word is
Christ. What is Christ? Christ is Spirit.
What is Spirit? Spirit is Truth, Love,
Faith, Peace, Holiness, Humility,
Temperance, Meekness, Power and Joy.
He is all and in all. Tell Me what your
problem is? Have you not seen that
Spirit? Has it not come?
It is today that you are going to know
the fruits of the Spirit. So that those who
claim to possess the spirit will know
their stand. Church denominations will
claim they do not worship the spirit
since they are orthodox churches,
believing in the power of the Holy Spirit.
It is today that you will know which is a
spiritual church.

EXCERPT FROM THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL:
THE QUALITIES OF A CHILD OF GOD
THE FIRST GENTILE CONVERT:
CORNELIUS WAS THE FIRST GENTILE GOD
REVEALED HIMSELF TO. WITHOUT THE HOLY
SPIRIT, HOW WOULD THE WORD OF GOD
SPREAD TO OTHER NATIONS?
THE FIRST GENTILE CONVERT:
HAVE YOU HEARD THAT OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST EVER BEAT DRUMS, BURN
INCENSE OR LIGHT CANDLES? RIGHT
FROM PETER, TO WHOM THIS MINISTRY
WAS HANDED, TO PAUL AND OTHERS
WHO SERVED IN THE MINISTRY, HAVE
YOU HEARD ANY OF THEM BEAT DRUM,
BURN INCENSE OR OR LIGHT CANDLES
USED PERFUMERY OR ANY OF ALL THE
OTHER ABOMINABLE ACTS YOU TAKE
DELIGHT IN DOING IN THE NAME OF
SPIRITUALISM?
Which spirit is that? When our Lord
Jesus Christ had not yet bestowed the
spirit on His disciples, He told them not
to enter into the way of the Samaritans
but to go to the lost sheep of Israel.
That is to say, without the Holy Spirit
the world would perish. Because when
our Lord Jesus Christ lived in flesh, He
had limited functions. He directed the
disciples to the Israelites only. If they
entered a house they would ask if there
were any Israelite dwelling there, and
they would attend to only the Israelites.
If there were no Israelites, they would
leave. It is exactly what the church
denominations are doing. When they get
to a group of people, they will ask if
members of their churches are there. In
the hospital they will ask if their member
is there. Such practices are carnal and
not spiritual.
When our Lord Jesus Christ had
bestowed the spirit on His disciples,
Cornelius had a dream, and an angel told
him that God had heard his prayer. The
angel told him to send somebody to
Joppa to meet one Peter who lodged
with Simon the tanner, and that Peter
would tell him what to do. It was not the
spirit directing Cornelius but an angel.
Cornelius, the centurion sent three of his
men to Peter. Before the arrival of the
three, the spirit had already informed
Peter that three people were waiting
outside for him. Even before the
messengers left to their destination,
Peter saw in a trance how heaven
opened and certain vessel descending
unto him, as it had been a great sheet
knit at the four corners and was let
down to the earth:wherein were all
manners of four footed animals and other
beasts of the earth and, and wild beast
and creeping things, and fowls of the air,
and he was told to kill and eat. But he
refused on the excuse that he had never
eaten anything common or unclean. This
action was repeated three times, and the
vessel was carried up. The voice told
him that what God hath cleansed, call
not thou common. This vision really
disturbed him; and as he was thinking
over it, the three men from Cornelius
arrived, the same spirit told him,
“Behold, three men seek thee,” and he
went out and saw the three men from
Cornelius, who told him their mission.
These men were Gentiles. Remember
that our Lord Jesus Christ had told them
not to enter the way of the Gentiles but
these were Gentiles before him. The
situation worried Peter but the Spirit
told him to follow them. SINCE HE
WALKED IN THE SPIRIT, HE HAD TO
OBEY THE DICTATES OF THE SPIRIT.
PETER OBEYED THE SPIRIT AND WENT
TO CORNELIUS. ON SEEING PETER,
CORNELIUS FELL DOWN AT HIS FEET,
AND WORSHIPPED HIM. BUT PETER
TOOK HIM UP, SAYING, STAND UP;
MYSELF ALSO AM A MAN. Peter told him
you know that it is unlawful for a Jew to
keep company, or come unto one of
another nation. But God hath shewed me
that I should call no man common or
unclean, therefore came I unto you
without gainsaying, as soon as I was
sent for; I ask therefore for what intent
ye have sent for me? Cornelius narrated
the preceding events that led to this
meeting and Peter opened his mouth and
told them about our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Lord of all. Those who were present
received the Holy Spirit. THAT WAS THE
FIRST TIME IN HUMAN HISTORY THE
WORD OF GOD WAS EXTENDED BEYOND
THE JEWS. CORNELIUS WAS THE FIRST
GENTILE GOD REVEALED HIMSELF TO.
WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT, HOW
WOULD THE WORD OF GOD SPREAD TO
OTHER NATIONS?
NOTE THAT WHEN THE TWELVE
DISCIPLES WALKED WITH OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST, THEY WERE NEVER TOLD
TO ENTER INTO THE WAY OF THE
SAMARITANS OR OF THE GENTILES. SO
WHEN THE OTHER ELEVEN HEARD THAT
PETER HAD GONE TO THE GENTILES
WITH THE GOSPEL, THEY ACCUSED
PETER OF BRINGING CONFUSION. BUT
WHEN THEY GATHERED, HE TOLD THEM
OF HIS VISION AND WHAT FOLLOWED,
THEY WERE SATISFIED. THAT IS WHY IT
IS SAID THAT WHOEVER WALKS IN THE
SPIRIT DOES NOT ERR. IF THE SPIRIT
TELLS YOU TO GO TO BABANGIDA, OR
QUEEN ELIZABETH, AND INFORM HIM OR
HER OF THESE THINGS, GO STRAIGHT.
BY DOING THAT THERE IS NO MISTAKE
AND NO ONE CAN CHALLENGE YOU.
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS LOVE
Brethren, our confidence is in the Spirit.
Wherever the Spirit directs you, go forth.
If the spirit tells you to go and worship
in the Roman Catholic Church, do so. If
you are told to go to the Presbyterian, or
Amorc, or any place for that matter, do
not hesitate. There is no discrimination
in this Kingdom. Listen and hearken to
the Spirit, in whatever you are directed.
THE SPIRIT DOES NOT CREATE
DIVISION. WITH HIM THERE IS NEITHER
MALE NOR FEMALE, YOUNG OR OLD. WE
HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE
MOSLEMS, MEMBERS OF THE OGBONI,
CHRISTIANS. WE HAVE NO TROUBLE
WITH GHOSTS, MAN, OBON, ROBBERS
AND THIEVES. WHAT IS REQUIRED OF US
IS TO LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT IN
WHATEVER WE ARE TOLD TO DO. WE
HAVE NO TROUBLE WITH WHITES, OR
BLACKS. SINCE OUR CONFIDENCE IS IN
THE SPIRIT, WHEREVER YOU ARE SENT,
GO THERE BECAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT
HAS NO BETHEL.
Remember that when Saul was to go to
Damascus to arrest the followers of our
Lord Jesus Christ, he was authorized by
the high priest to arrest and jail anyone
who called on the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ. On his way, bright light
shone round about him from heaven, and
the voice of the Lord called on him, Saul,
Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he
said who art thou Lord? And the voice
said; I am Jesus whom thou persecute.
Saul was struck blind and for three days
he did not see. It was the same Jesus
who told him to go to one Ananias. The
same Jesus revealed to Ananias about
Saul. This shows to you that the spirit is
that of love. He told Ananias to go and
pray for Saul that Saul may receive his
sight. Can you see the situation? On
learning the order, Ananias answered,
“Lord, I have heard by many of this man,
how much evil he hath done to thy saints
at Jerusalem. And here he hath authority
from the chief Priests to bind all that
call on thy name.” But the Lord said unto
him: Go thy way, for he is a chosen
vessel unto Me, to bear My name before
the Gentiles and kings, and the children
of Israel. Ananias did not argue but went
his way because he was in the spirit.
When he arrived there, he placed his
hands on him and said, Brother Saul,
“the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared
unto thee in the way as thou carest, hath
sent me, thou mayest receive thy sight,
and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” And
immediately there fell from his eyes as it
had been scale; and he received sight
forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
Such is the work of the Spirit. YOU DO
NOT BEHAVE ANYHOW YOU LIKE. IT IS
OUR DUTY TO DO THIS WORK. IF WE
WALK IN THE SPIRIT, THERE WILL BE
NEITHER QUARRELING, NOR FIGHTING,
NOR TROUBLE, NOR CONFLICT BUT
LOVE WILL BE FOUND EVERYWHERE.
2ND LESSON: GALATIANS 5: 22-23
“But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy,
peace, long-suffering, gentleness,
goodness, faith, meekness, temperance;
against such there is no law.”
Brethren, have you heard the Scripture?
He sent Cornelius to go to Peter and be
told what to do. Peter went to him as he
was also directed. Did Peter beat up
Cornelius, or quarrel, or curse or abuse
him? He went and saved him, and
converted Cornelius to become a
Christian. He told Ananias to go and pray
for a man called Saul that he may
receive his sight. When Ananias went to
Saul, did he beat, curse or extort Saul?
IN THE SAME MANNER, IF THE FATHER
DIRECTS YOU TO GO TO A CERTAIN
BROTHER’S HOUSE, OR TO LAGOS, AND
OTHER PLACES, IT IS OUR DUTY TO
OBEY, AND SERVE WHOEVER IS
CONCERNED WITH LOVE. IT IS THE
WORK OF GRACE, MERCY, TRUTH, AND
PATIENCE, WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH QUARRELING, MURDER, OR
SNATCHING SOMEBODY’S WIFE OR
HUSBAND.
OBEY THE DIRECTIVE OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT
We have no particular Bethel since our
functional Bethel is the Holy Spirit.
Thus, the issue of posing as an elder or
prophet in charge of the Bethel does not
arise. Your duty is to listen to the spirit
and do what it tells you. Whoever walks
in the spirit is a child of God, but
whoever walks in flesh is of Satan. As at
now, members of WAI (War Against
Indiscipline) Brigade had come to help
maintain order in the premises, but it is
reported that members of the Youth
Fellowship relentlessly oppose them. Are
you the only owner of these premises?
Have they come to kill? They have
merely come to help guard the place.
ANYBODY CAN COME AND JOIN HANDS
WITH YOU IN THE SERVICE, AS LONG AS
THE SPIRIT OF GOD DIRECTS THEM. AS I
AM, IF SOMEBODY COMES TO ME AND
SAY THAT HE IS GOING TO PREACH, I
WILL MERELY THANK THE FATHER AND
GET DOWN FOR HIM, KNOWING THAT IT
WILL GIVE ME VACATION. IS IT NOT ONE
AND THE SAME THING?
Can you now realize that there is no law
here? The Father had directed all of you,
ordained ones, elders, Christ Servants,
Christ Students, and others to guard the
premises. If you cannot do the work, and
the Holy Spirit mobilizes another group
of people elsewhere to come and do it,
why do you resist them? On this note, we
are not under law but our confidence is
in the Holy Spirit. If the Spirit directs
you, obey accordingly. It is the Father
who sends you and you are not under any
law. Except in a situation where
somebody tells you that what he does is
a personal opinion. In that case, do not
obey. But whatever the spirit tells you,
even when somebody comes to you and
says that the Father sends him to come
and pray for you, kneel down and receive
the prayer because it is for your own
good.

WHY WAS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED BETWEEN TWO ROBBERS

  • 1. BCSNET OOO THE WORD CENTER PRESENTS WHY WAS CHRIST CRUCIFIED BETWEEN TWO ROBBERS? For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. (1Ti_2:5) For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. (Rom 5:19) PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE BEEN DYING BUT THE DEATH OF CHRIST HAD A DIFFERENCE. PEOPLE WOULD NOT HAVE COMPREHENDED OR VISUALIZED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHRIST AND THE OTHER HUMAN BEINGS BUT FOR THE PROPHESY OF DAVID AS RECORDED IN Psalm 34:20 “He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.” BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
  • 2. “But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water." So beloved brethren, you can see that JESUS THE CHRIST WAS GOD, THE FATHER, AMONG MEN. HE WAS ALSO CALLED THE SON OF MAN BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD IN HIM. HE WAS ALSO CALLED THE SON OF GOD DUE TO THE WATER IN HIM, AND FINALLY, GOD WHICH THE SPIRIT SIGNIFIES. SO THAT WHEN HE SAID THAT HE HAD SURRENDERED HIS SPIRIT, THE FATHER DEPARTED AND HE THEN SLUMBERED. AND WHEN THE SPEAR PASSED THROUGH HIS BODY, THE WATER AND BLOOD WHICH CAME OUT WASHED AWAY ALL OUR SINS AND INIQUITIES. ONTO THIS DAY THAT BLOOD AND WATER ARE STILL FLOWING AND WASHING US CLEAN AND FREE. THIS IS WHERE OUR SALVATION COMES FROM. IT WAS NOT THE MIRACLES OF HEALING THE SICK, THE LAME, DEAF, BLIND OR RAISING THE DEAD THAT REVEALED OR QUALIFIED HIM AS THE CHRIST; OTHERWISE PETER, PAUL AND THE REST OF THE APOSTLES WHO WERE ABLE TO PERFORM SAME COULD EQUALLY HAVE CLAIMED HIS POSITION. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
  • 3. THE THIEF ON THE RIGHT HAND SYMBOLIZES THAT RIGHT FROM HIS ADVENT UNTIL ETERNITY, THERE IS NO RIGHTEOUS PERSON, AND THERE WILL NEVER BE. IT IS HIS BLOOD ALONE THAT SAVED MANKIND THROUGHOUT ETERNITY. HE IS THE FIRST AND THE LAST (REV 22:13). THIS INDEED IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CRUCIFIXION. IF IN A THOUSAND YEARS TIME SOMEBODY COMES TO TELL YOU THAT HE IS YOUR SAVIOUR, DO NOT BELIEVE HIM. IT IS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ALONE WHO IS OUR SAVIOUR. UNTIL ETERNITY HE IS THE ONLY SAVIOUR. RIGHT FROM ADAM, IF MOSES OR ANY OTHER PERSON IS MENTIONED AS YOUR SAVIOUR, THAT IS ERRONEOUS. IT IS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ALONE WHO IS THE SAVIOUR OF THE WHOLE WORLD; AND HE HAS NO DEPUTY. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
  • 4. 1Ti_2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. Rom 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Heb 7:26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Heb 7:27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. Joh 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Heb_12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
  • 5. THE BODY AND BLOOD OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST Joh 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. Joh 6:48 I am that bread of life. Mar 14:24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. Mat 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
  • 6. OF THEM WHICH THOU GAVEST ME HAVE I LOST NONE. Joh 18:7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. Joh 18:8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: Joh 18:9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none. NO MAN CAN COME TO ME, EXCEPT THE FATHER WHICH HATH SENT ME DRAW HIM: AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY. (JOH 6:44 ) ALL THAT THE FATHER GIVETH ME SHALL COME TO ME; AND HIM THAT COMETH TO ME I WILL IN NO WISE CAST OUT. JOH 6:37 Joh 6:33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. Joh 6:34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. Joh 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
  • 7. Joh 6:36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. Joh 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. Joh 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. Joh 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. Joh 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. Joh 6:41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. Joh 6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? Joh 6:43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. Joh 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. Joh 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God.

Mat 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. Mat 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; Mat 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Mat 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. Mar 14:22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. Mar 14:23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.

ONE MEDIATOR 1Ti_2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Rom 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Gal 4:3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: Gal 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, Gal 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. Heb 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Heb 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a
  • 10. better covenant, which was established upon better promises. Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. Heb 7:26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Heb 7:27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. 1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 1Jn 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
  • 11. Heb 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Heb 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Heb 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. Heb 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. Joh 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Joh 1:30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. Joh 1:31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. Joh 1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. Joh 1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and
  • 12. remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. Joh 1:34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. Joh 1:35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; Joh 1:36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! Heb 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. Heb 7:20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: Heb 7:21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:) Heb 7:22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. Heb 7:23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: Heb 7:24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
  • 13. Heb 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Heb 7:26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Heb 7:27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. Heb 7:28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. Heb 9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Heb 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. Heb 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: Heb 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself
  • 14. without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Heb 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Heb 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. Heb 9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. Heb 9:18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. Heb 9:19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, Heb 9:20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. Heb 9:21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. Heb 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

IT IS HIS BLOOD ALONE THAT SAVED MANKIND THROUGHOUT ETERNITY. HE IS THE FIRST AND THE LAST (REV 22:13). THIS INDEED IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CRUCIFIXION. IF IN A THOUSAND YEARS TIME SOMEBODY COMES TO TELL YOU THAT HE IS YOUR SAVIOUR, DO NOT BELIEVE HIM. IT IS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE BEEN DYING BUT THE DEATH OF CHRIST HAD A DIFFERENCE. PEOPLE WOULD NOT HAVE COMPREHENDED OR VISUALIZED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHRIST AND THE OTHER HUMAN BEINGS BUT FOR THE PROPHESY OF DAVID AS RECORDED IN Psalm 34:20 "He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken." *IT WAS NOT THE MIRACLES OF HEALING THE SICK, THE LAME, DEAF, BLIND OR RAISING THE DEAD

"Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs. But one of the
  • 20. soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water." Though the soldier did not know the significance of what he did, his action revealed the man on the Cross as the Christ, while the blood was the son of man and the spirit was the Father. So beloved brethren, you can see that JESUS THE CHRIST WAS GOD, THE FATHER, AMONG MEN. HE WAS ALSO CALLED THE SON OF MAN BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD IN HIM. HE WAS ALSO CALLED THE SON OF GOD DUE TO THE WATER IN HIM, AND FINALLY, GOD WHICH THE SPIRIT SIGNIFIES. SO THAT WHEN HE SAID THAT HE HAD SURRENDERED HIS SPIRIT, THE FATHER DEPARTED AND HE THEN SLUMBERED. AND WHEN THE SPEAR PASSED THROUGH HIS BODY, THE WATER AND BLOOD WHICH CAME OUT WASHED AWAY ALL OUR SINS AND INIQUITIES. ONTO THIS DAY THAT BLOOD AND WATER ARE STILL FLOWING AND WASHING US CLEAN AND FREE. THIS IS WHERE OUR SALVATION COMES FROM.

BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU Read LUKE 2:34-35 for confirmation: "Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; (Yea, a sword shall pierce thy own soul also) that the thoughts of many shall be revealed." Healing the sick or raising the dead are not what revealed Christ as God; for even from the time of Moses, those miracles were taking place. From the olden days, visions and prophesies existed and these are not the things that reveal God to man. However, the things that reveal God to man are clearly highlighted in this sermon. PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE BEEN DYING BUT THE DEATH OF CHRIST HAD A DIFFERENCE. PEOPLE WOULD NOT HAVE COMPREHENDED OR VISUALIZED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHRIST
  • 22. AND THE OTHER HUMAN BEINGS BUT FOR THE PROPHESY OF DAVID AS RECORDED IN Psalm 34:20 "He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken." This was fulfilled accordingly. The second point which identified Jesus as the Christ was His significant crucifixion between two robbers. AND WHY WAS CHRIST CRUCIFIED BETWEEN TWO ROBBERS? Let it be known that, the spirit in Him kept the two robbers alive until when He made the pronouncement: "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." If Christ had not surrendered His spirit into the Father's hand, he would not have died. THIS EXPLAINS THE FACT THAT THE SPIRIT IS LIFE, AND AS LONG AS IT REMAINS IN MAN, HE CANNOT DIE. If Christ had not died at the time He was supposed to die, His bones could have been broken, according to the culture of the time. And so, when the Jews went to inspect them on the Cross, they found out that He had died; hence His bones were not broken, in fulfillment of the prophesy of David as cited above. However, the legs of the other two robbers were broken since they were not dead at the time of inspection. To test whether He was the Christ, the Jews pierced His side and instantly, water and blood
  • 23. gushed out through the hole made by the spear. (John 19:32-34) “Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs. But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.” BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU EVERYTHING HAPPENED ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD. THIS IS A PROOF THAT GOD IS THE CAUSE AND EFFECT OF ALL THINGS. All those who died from the time of ADAM were under the imprisonment of death. None of them was able to ascend unto heaven. This is because they were under the yoke of evil and hades. As such, when Christ cried out on the cross, the curtains of the temple tore, the graves of the saints were opened and they emerged from the graves. SEE MATTHEW 27:50-53 FOR CONFIRMATION. “Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice yielded up the ghost. And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his
  • 24. resurrection, and went into the holy city and appeared unto many.” IT WAS CHRIST'S ASSIGNMENT TO SUBDUE DEATH AND COLLECT ITS KEY. HAVING OVERCOME THE POWER OF DEATH AND HADES AND COLLECTED ITS KEYS, DEATH DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE. NOTHING IMPRISONS AGAIN ( HEBREWS 2:14-15). THIS IS WHY THE POPULATION OF THE WORLD INCREASES BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS. NOW OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE KING AND LORD OVER ALL PLANES OF MANIFEST, INCLUDING HEAVEN AND EARTH. HE RULES OVER ALL THINGS CREATED BY GOD. AND WHEN PERFECTION WILL BE THE ORDER OF THE DAY, THERE WILL BE NO MORE DEATH. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU I WANT TO TELL YOU WHY CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED BETWEEN TWO THIEVES. 1Ti_2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; THE TWO THIEVES ON THE CROSS:
  • 25. Rom 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. CHRIST IS THE MEDIATOR OF THE NEW COVENANT I want to tell you why He was crucified between two thieves, one on His left and the other on his right hand side (Luke 23:33). Even the professors of religion do not know the meaning of the two thieves being crucified on either side. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit constitute the Triune God. Love hope and faith constitute one God. The three persons on the cross meant one person in effect. Thursday is a great day. Friday and Saturday are also great days. These three days were meant for three important celebrations of the Jews. He was crucified in the middle of the two thieves because He is the mediator of the New Covenant. The thief on His left signifies that from the time of Adam until the advent of the Christ there was no single righteous man. The Bible has truly stated there is none righteous, no, not one (Rom 3:10). And so the thief on the left signified that from Adam until He came, there was no righteous person. All of them were thieves(JOHN 10:8). And so it is His blood that
  • 26. saved and justified all those who lived from the time of Adam until His advent. THE THIEF ON THE RIGHT HAND SYMBOLIZES THAT RIGHT FROM HIS ADVENT UNTIL ETERNITY, THERE IS NO RIGHTEOUS PERSON, AND THERE WILL NEVER BE. IT IS HIS BLOOD ALONE THAT SAVED MANKIND THROUGHOUT ETERNITY. HE IS THE FIRST AND THE LAST (REV 22:13). THIS INDEED IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CRUCIFIXION. IF IN A THOUSAND YEARS TIME SOMEBODY COMES TO TELL YOU THAT HE IS YOUR SAVIOUR, DO NOT BELIEVE HIM. IT IS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ALONE WHO IS OUR SAVIOUR. UNTIL ETERNITY HE IS THE ONLY SAVIOUR. RIGHT FROM ADAM, IF MOSES OR ANY OTHER PERSON IS MENTIONED AS YOUR SAVIOUR, THAT IS ERRONEOUS. IT IS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ALONE WHO IS THE SAVIOUR OF THE WHOLE WORLD; AND HE HAS NO DEPUTY. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD God has always done His thing in a marvelous way. That is why when you see something that is not clean, you attribute it to Satan. Whatever has a fault
  • 27. is Satan. That is why we use this opportunity to tell you that there is no other Savior apart from Him. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Savior of the whole world. He is the Beginning and the End; the First and the Last. That is why He alone has the right to judge the just and the unjust. He alone loves man. Whether you are a thief or a liar, Our Lord Jesus Christ loves you because He alone has mercy. That is why the Father says, after those days I will put my laws into their minds and will write them in their hearts. A neighbor shall not teach his neighbor and a brother shall not teach his brother, saying, know the Lord. For they shall all know me from the least to the greatest. Because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins and iniquities I will remember no more. (Heb. 8:11-12). Right from the sin of Adam until eternity, God does not remember our sins again. This has been accomplished by the death of Our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross between the two thieves. This lesson is given to you so that you may know that He is your Saviour. It is not your father or mother or brother or Abraham who has saved you. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the only Saviour of the
  • 28. world. He is the Son of man, the Son of God and God Himself. The second lesson will now be read. Second Bible Lesson: Matthew 12:40 “For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” Have you heard that? Since the Jews seek for signs and the Greeks for wisdom, that is the sign that He showed to them. That as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Is it not clear to you from this what is meant by the Trinity God? The Godheads Thursday represented one God-head, Friday represented another God-head and Saturday another; and so we have tri-personal God. That is why we baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. That is why also everything is shared here equally. That explains why baptism in Brotherhood is quite different from baptism in any other place in the world. During the first immersion, it is said, “I baptize you in the name of the Father,
  • 29. and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” You repeat the same words during the second and the third immersions. These make up three which is one in effect. Feel the pulses in your body during celebrations such as this. All the sicknesses you came with, court cases, sins, poverty and your lack, including the old body you came with, all are taken away by these observances which you honor. That is what has deluded the whole world, and they keep asking the type of Bible you have. What actually is being done in Brotherhood? They do not know that these observances we celebrate are very significant. The various commemorative celebrations and observances constitute the power in Brotherhood. These constitute the Holy Spirit, love and peace which you find in the Kingdom. His blood is flooding in the whole world now, taking away deaths and tribulations and afflictions. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. There were two thieves, one on either side of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Argue then that there was any righteous man from Adam until His advent. But you argue that you have no sin. From Adam until eternity
  • 30. the world is full of thieves. He alone is the righteous one. He has redeemed us with His blood. What do you lose to admit that you are a sinner? Our Lord Jesus Christ takes away your sins and makes you clean the moment you admit that you are a sinner and that He died for you. Mention any righteous man on earth. We are all thieves as evidenced by the two thieves on His either side. We are saved by grace for His sake. He is the only Mediator. If you involve Him in anything it will work well but when you exclude him, there is no success. He alone has come to mediate for the whole world because He is the only righteous one. He intercedes for all the creations of God. Let our Golden text be read. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER, AND SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR EXCERPT FROM THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL: OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED ON THURSDAY, NOT FRIDAY
  • 31. WHY WAS CHRIST CRUCIFIED BETWEEN TWO ROBBERS? REVEALING THE CHRIST: This sermon is a mystery to the entire universe. It discusses nothing else but the Almighty God who is even in our midst today. HE IS THE VERY BEING THAT CAME DIED FOR THE SALVATION OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. There are things that reveal the presence and personality of God whenever He manifests on earth. These things however, should not have been revealed to “babes” like you and in fact, at this time, but to the wise and high-ranking people of the world. Nevertheless, it has pleased the Holy Spirit to unveil this wisdom to you today. In fact, the whole situation is in accordance with the statement made by Jesus the Christ as recorded in Luke 10:21 “I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and has revealed them unto babes: even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.” Jesus the Christ was a mystery child. Prophet Simeon noticed this when he was about to anoint the infant Jesus and intimated the carnal parents- Mary and Joseph about this.
  • 32. Read LUKE 2:34-35 for confirmation: “Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; (Yea, a sword shall pierce thy own soul also) that the thoughts of many shall be revealed.” Healing the sick or raising the dead are not what revealed Christ as God; for even from the time of Moses, those miracles were taking place. From the olden days, visions and prophesies existed and these are not the things that reveal God to man. However, the things that reveal God to man are clearly highlighted in this sermon. People all over the world have been dying but the death of Christ had a difference. People would not have comprehended or visualized the difference between Christ and the other human beings but for the prophesy of David as recorded in Psalm 34:20 “He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.” This was fulfilled accordingly. The second point which identified Jesus as the Christ was His significant crucifixion between two robbers. AND WHY WAS CHRIST CRUCIFIED BETWEEN TWO ROBBERS? Let it be known that, the spirit in Him
  • 33. kept the two robbers alive until when He made the pronouncement: “Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.” If Christ had not surrendered His spirit into the Father’s hand, he would not have died. THIS EXPLAINS THE FACT THAT THE SPIRIT IS LIFE, AND AS LONG AS IT REMAINS IN MAN, HE CANNOT DIE. If Christ had not died at the time He was supposed to die, His bones could have been broken, according to the culture of the time. And so, when the Jews went to inspect them on the Cross, they found out that He had died; hence His bones were not broken, in fulfillment of the prophesy of David as cited above. However, the legs of the other two robbers were broken since they were not dead at the time of inspection. To test whether He was the Christ, the Jews pierced His side and instantly, water and blood gushed out through the hole made by the spear. (John 19:32-34) “Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs. But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.” Though the soldier did not know the significance of what he did, his action
  • 34. revealed the man on the Cross as the Christ, while the blood was the son of man and the spirit was the Father. So beloved brethren, you can see that JESUS THE CHRIST WAS GOD, THE FATHER, AMONG MEN. HE WAS ALSO CALLED THE SON OF MAN BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD IN HIM. HE WAS ALSO CALLED THE SON OF GOD DUE TO THE WATER IN HIM, AND FINALLY, GOD WHICH THE SPIRIT SIGNIFIES. SO THAT WHEN HE SAID THAT HE HAD SURRENDERED HIS SPIRIT, THE FATHER DEPARTED AND HE THEN SLUMBERED. AND WHEN THE SPEAR PASSED THROUGH HIS BODY, THE WATER AND BLOOD WHICH CAME OUT WASHED AWAY ALL OUR SINS AND INIQUITIES. ONTO THIS DAY THAT BLOOD AND WATER ARE STILL FLOWING AND WASHING US CLEAN AND FREE. THIS IS WHERE OUR SALVATION COMES FROM. IT WAS NOT THE MIRACLES OF HEALING THE SICK, THE LAME, DEAF, BLIND OR RAISING THE DEAD THAT REVEALED OR QUALIFIED HIM AS THE CHRIST; OTHERWISE PETER, PAUL AND THE REST OF THE APOSTLES WHO WERE ABLE TO PERFORM SAME COULD EQUALLY HAVE CLAIMED HIS POSITION. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
  • 35. Let me reiterate this question. Why was Christ crucified in the middle of two robbers? Recall that one of the robbers was placed on His left while the other was on His right hand side. What is the meaning of his arrangement? It is said that only the king knows the secret of his kingdom. At JOHN 10:8, Our Lord Jesus Christ said: “All that ever came before me were thieves and robbers and the sheep did not hear them.” The arrangement of the robbers with Christ is a MYSTERY which no man had ever revealed and it has pleased the Holy Spirit to reveal it today: FROM THE FIRST CREATION OF ADAM TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, ALL HAD ERRED AND COMMITTED INIQUITIES. AND TO REVEAL THAT THERE WAS NO RIGHTEOUS MAN ON EARTH, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS PLACED IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE SINNERS. THE FIRST ROBBER ON HIS LEFT CONNOTES THE PERIOD FROM ADAM TO CHRIST. THEN FROM CHRIST IN THE CENTER TO THE OTHER ROBBER ON THE RIGHT REPRESENTS THE PERIOD OF THE ADVENT OF CHRIST TO ETERNITY. THIS INVARIABLY MEANS THAT FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD TO ETERNITY, THERE IS NO JUST MAN OR PERFECT MAN. (Romans 3:10-11).
  • 36. THEREFORE, CHRIST BEING PLACED IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE TWO PERIODS SIGNIFIES THAT HE IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF SALVATION AND MEDIATOR FOR ALL GENERATIONS. Read the first Lesson below. FIRST BIBLE LESSON: JOHN 12:24 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it abides alone: but if it dies, it bringeth forth much fruit.”
  • 37. THE CHILDREN OF GOD DO NOT DIE: A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING THAT MEMBERS OF BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR ARE DYING. WHO INTIMATED THEM WITH THIS WRONG NOTION? BROTHERHOOD MEMBERS DO NOT DIE BUT ARE ON SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT- TO BRING MORE CHILDREN OF GOD. THIS IS FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. YOU CAN SEE THE RAPID WAY IN WHICH THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE MULTIPLYING THESE DAYS. There are many children of God who were slain for the services of God. These are the people that are sent back to the world to continue with their services. Recall what is written in the scripture: (Revelation 6:9-11) “And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet a little season, until their fellow servants also and their
  • 38. brethren that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.” People who kill, maim and torture the children of God do not know the implications of their actions. They do not know that they are only helping to get the will of God fulfilled in their midst. Caiaphas had once said that it was better for one person to die than for the entire nation to perish. (JOHN 11:50). Little did Caiaphas know that Christ’s departure would bring more children of God to the world. EVERYTHING HAPPENED ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD. THIS IS A PROOF THAT GOD IS THE CAUSE AND EFFECT OF ALL THINGS. All those who died from the time of ADAM were under the imprisonment of death. None of them was able to ascend unto heaven. This is because they were under the yoke of evil and hades. As such, when Christ cried out on the cross, the curtains of the temple tore, the graves of the saints were opened and they emerged from the graves. SEE MATTHEW 27:50-53 FOR CONFIRMATION. “Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice yielded up the ghost. And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints
  • 39. which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city and appeared unto many.” IT WAS CHRIST'S ASSIGNMENT TO SUBDUE DEATH AND COLLECT ITS KEY. HAVING OVERCOME THE POWER OF DEATH AND HADES AND COLLECTED ITS KEYS, DEATH DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE. NOTHING IMPRISONS AGAIN ( HEBREWS 2:14-15). This is why the population of the world increases by leaps and bounds. NOW OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE KING AND LORD OVER ALL PLANES OF MANIFEST, INCLUDING HEAVEN AND EARTH. HE RULES OVER ALL THINGS CREATED BY GOD. AND WHEN PERFECTION WILL BE THE ORDER OF THE DAY, THERE WILL BE NO MORE DEATH. God has descended on earth and His children have filled the entire world. They are in every nook and corner of the world. Hitherto, when there were no children of God, there too was no Holy Spirit on earth. But today, the Holy Spirit has descended to live with His beloved children. This explains why Jesus the Christ said: “It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you: but if I depart, I will send him unto you.” (JOHN 16:7).
  • 40. Christ’s death therefore was to fulfill the above excerpt. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS FOND OF REFERRING TO GOD AS THE FATHER. And it was during one of these times that Philip demanded to know Who the Father really was; he said: “Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father, and how sayest thou, show us the Father.” (JOHN 14:9). LET IT BE KNOWN THAT THE FATHER WHICH CHRIST HAS BEEN REFERRING TO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT. THIS SPIRIT IS THE DOER OF ALL THINGS FROM CREATION. THAT SPIRIT IS LIFE AND THAT WAS WHY IMMEDIATELY CHRIST SURRENDERED THE SPIRIT, THE MORTAL BODY SLUMPED. If you seek the Father carefully, you will not see Him. That was why the Jews regarded Him (Our Lord Jesus Christ) as an insane person when He said He was in the Father and the Father in Him. FROM THE CREATION OF MAN, HAS ANY HUMAN BEING PERFORMED THE TYPE OF JOB DONE BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST? HE WAS NOT THE ONE DOING THE WORKS PER SE BUT THE FATHER, EVEN THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE EVEN MADE IT CLEAR THAT HIS WORDS AND WORKS ARE DIRECTLY FROM THE FATHER AS HE SAID:
  • 41. “Believest thou not that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you, I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.” (JOHN 14:10). Even on the Cross, Christ called on the Father and surrendered His spirit onto Him before He could die. WHAT WAS CRUCIFIED ON THE CROSS WAS THEREFORE NOT CHRIST BUT THE SINS AND INIQUITIES OF THE WORLD. The time He said He had surrendered His Spirit to the Father was when the Spirit departed from Him. JESUS CHRIST WAS GOD THE FATHER: Our Lord Jesus Christ throughout His ministration had been attributing all the works He did to the Father. Before then, people had been attributing the successes and failures of the world to ghosts, mermaid, beelzebub, charms, among others. Nobody knew that God was responsible for everything. But when the Jews noticed the miracles wrought by Christ, they started calling Him king of the Beelzebub. They even laughed Him to scorn, calling Him the son of Mary and Joseph. THEY NEVER BELIEVED THAT HE WAS THE SON OF MAN, SON OF GOD AND GOD HIMSELF. THERE ARE NO THREE GODS BUT ONE GOD, THE TRIUNE GOD. THE SPIRIT, THE WATER, AND THE
  • 42. BLOOD FORM THIS TRIUNE GOD. NO ONE KNOWS WHERE THE WATER AND BLOOD COMES FROM OR WHERE THEY GET DRIED TO. YOU SEE THAT GOD CAN COME BY ANY NAME AND FORM. WHEN HE CAME AS THE SON OF MAN, SON OF GOD AND GOD HIMSELF, THEY TREATED HIM DISDAINFULLY, AND FINALLY KILLED HIM. HOWEVER OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS GOD AS WELL AS THE SON OF GOD. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS ALSO THE SPIRIT, WHILE THE FLESH WAS THE HOUSE AND SO, WHEN THE SPIRIT LEFT THE HOUSE, IT COLLAPSED (SLUMPED). THIS HOUSE (FLESH) WAS PLACED IN THE TOMB BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT COMPLETED ITS SPIRITUAL ASSIGNMENT, AFTER THREE DAYS AND NIGHTS, IT WENT BACK TO THE HOUSE. AS SUCH CHRIST, RESURRECTED WITH HIS FULL BODY. The spirit is the owner of the house (physical body) and so, what is referred to as resurrection is just the revitalization of the house by the spirit. THIS IS THE MYSTERY OF THE MOST HIGH GOD. IT IS THE SPIRIT WHICH IS GOD AND IT DOES ALL THE WORK THOUGH YOU MAY NOT SEE
  • 43. HIM. The churches, religious bodies, occult and mystical organizations are trying their best yet, they have not got this Spirit which is God. Even the physical and esoteric scientist are trying but they have not got it. SINCE THEY CANNOT POSSESS THIS SPIRIT, IT MEANS THEY HAVE NOT GOT GOD AND THEREFORE, THEY CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. That was why Christ said: “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” (JOHN 3:5). As God, Christ knew that if He does not leave the house in time the people would break his legs. So He gave up the ghost accordingly. He did not want to behave like Jacob who wrestled with an angel and got this bone fractured. “And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. And when He saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint.” (GENESIS 32:24-25).
  • 44. Now, if He had not given up the ghost, He would have remained alive until the soldiers came, in which case, they would have broken His legs. This however would have been contrary to the words of God which states that: “He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.” (PSALM 34:20). In that case He would not have been the Christ. HOW THEN CAN WE RECOGNIZE GOD? The spirit is life. Once the spirit leaves the body, one is bound to die. Though the water and blood could be shed from the body, if the spirit is still intact, then one can still live until the spirit finally departs. Let it be known that as long as the spirit indwells the body, the loss of water and blood from the body cannot cause death. They will later return. THIS SO BECAUSE THE SPIRIT IS THE FATHER WHILE THE WATER AND BLOOD REPRESENTS THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, RESPECTIVELY. THESE CONSTITUTE THE TRIUNE GOD.
  • 45. The whites are very strong minded fellows and they can research daring situations about man and nature. This is why they use the nature of man in most of their inventions. The car they have invented works with water, engine oil and fuel. Whenever any of these three is lacking, the car stops moving or develops serious problems. Even the way people are treated in the hospital confirms the nature. When you are sick the doctor may recommend that water or blood be transfused into your body, if either of them is lacking. The doctors know of water and blood but they do not know about the spirit which is the Father. For this reason, Christ said that if one is not born of water and spirit, he cannot have eternal life. See the second lesson below: SECOND BIBLE LESSON: LUKE 23:46 “And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.” THE SPIRIT IDENTIFIES ONE AS GOD:
  • 46. WHO IS GOD AND WHO IS THE SON? GOD IS SPIRIT AND THE SON IS THAT SPIRIT AS WELL. IN THEIR IGNORANCE, THE JEWS THREW STONES AT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WHEN HE SAID, “I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE.” THIS EXPLAINS THAT THOUGH JESUS CAME AS THE CHRIST, HE WAS ALSO THE FATHER, FOR THE SPIRIT IS ONE. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS SPIRIT IT MEANS YOU HAVE NO GOD. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ACCOMPLISHED HIS ASSIGNMENT BECAUSE HE HAD THIS SPIRIT IN HIM. WITHOUT THIS SPIRIT HE WOULD NOT HAVE DONE HIS WORK SUCCESSFULLY. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS SPIRIT IS NOT MEANT FOR ALL THE PEOPLE TO POSSESS. IT IS ONLY FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD. THIS IS WHY THEY ACCOMPLISH THEIR ASSIGNMENT SUCCESSFULLY. THE WORLDLY PEOPLE CANNOT ACCOMPLISH THE WORK OF GOD. The spirit possessed by the worldly people is the Adamic spirit. This is the spirit of disobedience. The possession of this spirit is the cause of the whole problem facing humanity today.
  • 47. The worldly people are insisting that the power in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is not from God. BUT THEY HAVE FAILED TO REALIZE THAT GOD IS THE ONLY POWER THAT RULES ALL BEINGS. THEY DO NOT KNOW THAT WHEN GOD COMES TO DWELL WITH MAN, HE BECOMES A MAN BUT HE IS HIDDEN FROM THE ORDINARY EYES. THE ONLY WAY OF IDENTIFYING GOD IS BY THE SPIRIT. Even when Andrew told his brother Simon Peter that they have found the Messiah, even the Christ, it was the spirit that revealed him. “One of the two which heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first findeth his own brother Simon and saith unto him, we have found the Messiah, which is being interpreted, the Christ.” (JOHN 1:40-41). It is written that: “AND THERE ARE THREE THAT BEAR WITNESS IN THE EARTH, THE SPIRIT, THE WATER AND THE BLOOD: AND THESE THREE AGREE IN ONE.” (1 JOHN 5:8).
  • 48. In heaven there are three that also unite to become one: “FOR THERE ARE THREE THAT BEAR RECORD IN HEAVEN, THE FATHER, THE WORD AND THE HOLY GHOST: AND THESE THREE ARE ONE. AND THERE ARE THREE THAT BEAR WITNESS ON EARTH, THE SPIRIT, THE WATER AND THE BLOOD: AND THESE THREE AGREE IN ONE.” (1 JOHN 5:7-8). WHOEVER HAS THESE QUALITIES IS TRULY GOD. DO NOT BOTHER TO VISIT MECCA, JERUSALEM, AMERICA OR ANY OTHER PLANE OR CONTINENT IN SEARCH OF GOD; FOR IF THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS NOT IN YOU, YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING. HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN USE YOU TO FULFILL ANY ASSIGNMENT. Everything that happened to Our Lord Jesus Christ was a fulfillment of all the prophesies about Him. Even as Simon prophesied that a sword shall pierce through Him, it happened accordingly. It was said that water and blood shall gush out of his side. It also came to pass. The
  • 49. fulfillment of these prophesies proved Him as Christ. It should be noted that if the water and blood did not pass out of His side, our iniquities could not have been washed away. THE DEATH OF CHRIST HAS THEREFORE LEFT A FOUNTAIN OF WATER WHEREBY WE ALL BATHE FOR THE REMISSION OF OUR SINS. IT MAY BE INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT IT WAS ALSO FOR THIS REASON THAT JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS ASKED TO BAPTIZE WITH WATER. THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER STRESSED: Henceforth, do not have the erroneous belief that baptism shall cease to be. BAPTISM BY IMMERSION SHALL REMAIN FOREVER. It is a source of salvation for humanity. If your sins and iniquities are not washed away, then you will die with your sins intact. Through faith and baptism, your sins are forgiven and having been washed with the blood of Christ, the Holy Spirit which is life comes into you.
  • 50. Water and blood and spirit are one. When you are dipped in water by way of baptism, it means you are buried with Christ and when you emerge, you are emerging with life. NO MATTER WHAT YOU MAY DO, IF YOU ARE NOT BORN OF WATER, BLOOD AND SPIRIT, YOU HAVE NO SALVATION. OR SIMPLY PUT, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY ONE CAN BE SAVED EXCEPT HE IS BORN OF WATER, BLOOD AND SPIRIT. A LOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT TAKE THIS BAPTISM SERIOUSLY. THEY DO NOT EVEN REGARD THE CONFESSION OF SINS AS ANYTHING IMPORTANT IN LIFE. THE CHURCHES DO NOT STRESS THIS EXERCISE AS A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF WORSHIP. HOWEVER, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST EMPHASIZED ON ITS IMPORTANCE BY SAYING THAT UNLESS ONE IS BORN OF WATER AND OF SPIRIT, SUCH CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. WHEREVER YOU MAY GO, IF THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT DISCUSSED AND BAPTISM IS NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY, AS
  • 51. WELL AS CONFESSION OF SINS, THEN DEPART FROM SUCH A PLACED FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT DWELL THEREIN. EVEN WHEN YOU ENTER A BETHEL, IF YOU FIND NO HOLY OIL, AND WATER THERE, THEN KNOW THAT GOD IS NOT IN SUCH A BETHEL. WHEREVER YOU GO AND YOU DO NOT FIND THE WORD OF GOD, WATER AND HOLY OIL, THEN DEPART FROM THAT PLACE FOR THE PEOPLE THERE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. THESE THREE THINGS BEAR WITNESS TO THE FACT THAT GOD IS PRESENT IN SUCH A PLACE. These three things are the main weapon used in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. THE HOLY OIL SIGNIFIES THE BLOOD OF GOD (CHRIST). THIS IS WHAT IS USED IN FORGIVING ALL YOUR SINS AND INIQUITIES. THE WATER IS USED IN WASHING AND CLEANING ALL FILTHINESS AND ONE BECOMES SANCTIFIED.
  • 52. BAPTISM IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THE CHURCHES AND CULTS DO ALL OVER THE WORLD. FOR THIS REASON ONE MUST BE BAPTISED AGAIN INTO BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR THOUGH ONE MAY HAVE BEEN BAPTISED SEVERAL TIMES ELSEWHERE. HERE YOU MUST CONFESS AND REPENT OF ALL YOUR SINS BEFORE BAPTISM. ONCE YOU CONFESS, REPENT AND YOU ARE BAPTISED YOU HAVE BECOME A DIFFERENT PERSON. YOUR SALVATION HERE STARTS THE VERY DAY YOU ARE BAPTISED. THIS IS SO BECAUSE YOU ARE FIRST GIVEN THE WORDS OF GOD BEFORE YOUR CONFESSION. WITHOUT PASSING THROUGH THIS WAY, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME. THAT IS WHY THE CHURCHES ARE NOW EMPTY. THEY DO NOT PASS THROUGH THE RIGHT WAY TO GOD AND SO THEY SCATTER BECAUSE OF NOT HAVING RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT, THEY HAVE NO LIFE
  • 53. There are very many persons in the world who have their shares in this kingdom but they cannot receive them yet because they are not born of water, blood, and Holy Spirit. There are many others who claim to be baptized but have neither their sins remitted nor the Holy Spirit in them. Their baptism is just like having an ordinary bath in the stream or river. It can only become meaningful only when they are anointed with the Holy Oil which signifies the blood of Christ. Once you are anointed after baptism, the Holy Spirit takes possession of your body and you are admitted into the kingdom of God. SOMETIMES YOU FAST AND PRAY YET THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT MANIFEST. THIS IS BECAUSE YOU DID NOT START WITH CONFESSION OF SINS AND THE SPRINKLING OF WATER AND HOLY OIL. Read the Golden Text below: GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 19:34 “But one of the soldiers with a spear, pierced his side and forthwith came there out blood and water.”
  • 54. THE HOLY OIL AND WATER ARE THE SIGNS OF THE TRIUNE GOD: Brethren, you have now realized that the water and blood that came out of Him washed away our sins. That is why here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, we deal with Holy Oil, water and the word of God. If someone goes to his house and gives you any other thing, do not receive. Do not receive drugs, roots, leaves, or any form of medication for God is not in such things. All problems are solved and sicknesses healed by these three things- WATER, OIL AND THE WORDS OF GOD. If a patient has sinned let him confess all his sins. Then give him THE WORD OF GOD, HOLY WATER AND OIL. In this way, he will be healed or his problems will be solved. Do not accept any diabolical substances from any person. There is a common mistake made by everyone, that is regarding the Holy Oil as medication. That is why some people add it to their tea, soup, and use it as purgative. They use it for
  • 55. all types of things, they even use it as tablets. THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE. A member of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star can even empty three containers of holy oil at the same time. Now let it be known that once you have been baptized into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, YOU ARE NOT TO DRINK OR USE THE HOLY OIL ANY HOW. YOU ONLY USE IT WHEN A SINNER REPENTS AND DECIDES TO CONFESS HIS SINS. AFTER CONFESSION, YOU SPRINKLE HOLY WATER AND USE THE SAME TO ANOINT SUCH A PERSON. YOU CAN PUT THREE DROPS OF HOLY OIL IN A CONTAINER OF WATER AND DRINK IT OR ANOINT PEOPLE WITH IT. THIS HOLY OIL AND WATER USED IN BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR ARE NO DRUGS OR CHARMS. THESE ARE THE SIGNS OF THE PRESENCE OF THE TRIUNE GOD IN OUR MIDST. I HAVE NEVER ASKED YOU TO DRINK THE HOLY OIL BUT TO USE IT AS
  • 56. THE SIGN OF CHRIST'S BLOOD. ONCE YOU MAKE A SIGN OF THE CROSS WITH THE HOLY OIL ON ANY PERSON WHO HAS CONFESSED HIS SINS, HIS SICKNESSES ARE HEALED. THERE IS NO TYPE OF SICKNESS THAT CANNOT BE HEALED IN THIS WAY. IT IS NOT AN EASY THING TO POSSESS THE HOLY SPIRIT, UNLESS THROUGH THE FORGIVENESS OF OUR SINS WITH THE RIGHT USAGE OF THE HOLY OIL WHICH IS THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. So beloved, a stroke of the cane is enough for the wise. May the Father bless His Holy Words, Amen. THANK YOU HOLY FATHER. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… WHO BELIEVES IN RESURRECTION? Our Lord Jesus Christ has advised that when you make a feast, you should invite the poor, the maimed, the lame and the blind, in order that you would be blessed, for they cannot compensate you. You would be compensated at the resurrection of the just.
  • 57. About 99 percent of the population of the world does not believe in the resurrection. If you were to hope on resurrection then you would not have pitied yourself about death because death does not exist. But do what is good knowing that whatever you do, you are sowing for yourself. THE DISCIPLES STRUGGLED AMONG THEMSELVES WHO WOULD BE THE GREATEST AMONGST THEM. BUT SINCE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TOOK HIS PHYSICAL EXISTENCE FROM THIS EARTH PLAIN, WHICH OF THEM STEPPED INTO HIS SHOES? NO PERSON TOOK OVER FROM HIM. EACH PERSON IS OCCUPYING HIS OWN POSITION. THERE IS THE DIVISION OF LABOUR AND NO PERSON ENCROACHES ON THE POSITION OF OTHERS. THE GOLDEN TEXT SHOULD NOW BE READ. Golden Text: John 14:18 “I will not leave you comfortless; I am coming unto you.” WHAT IS READ TO YOU IS QUITE PLAIN. BUT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS SPEAKING IN THE
  • 58. PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE. “I AM COMING BACK TO YOU.” HE DID NOT SAY THAT HE WILL COME BACK TO YOU. IT IS THEREFORE, ERRONEOUS FOR YOU TO PRAY THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST SHOULD COME BACK AGAIN. TO WHERE DID HE GO? HE SAYS, “I AM COMING BACK.” HE HAS NOT INDICATED HIS RETURN IN THE FUTURE. A Challenge To The World That Christ Has Not Gone Anywhere Since His Resurrection: READ THE THREE TEXTS TO THE IGNORANT AND THE FOOLS. SHOW THEM TO ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD BECAUSE I DECLARE THIS FROM HIGH HEAVENS. WHEN THEY HOLD THE BELIEF THAT HE WILL COME BACK AGAIN, I CHALLENGE THEM. He says it was expedient that He went away, because if He did not go away, the Comforter would not come to you; but if He went away, He would send the Comforter unto you. He says again: “except a grain of corn falls on the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies it brings forth much fruit. He says finally in the
  • 59. golden text: “I will not leave you comfortless, I am coming unto you.” This means that our Lord Jesus Christ has not left us to even one inch. He has been with mankind since His resurrection and the Father is doing His work. However, a great many people still feel that He is in the sky, while others say until He comes back again. And I ask you where has He ever been to? Apart From Our Lord Jesus Christ, No Person Grants Your Request HAS HE NOT ADVISED THAT WHATEVER WE ASK THE FATHER THROUGH HIS NAME, HE WILL SURELY DO IT FOR US. HAS HE EVER ADVISED YOU TO ASK THROUGH ANY OTHER NAME OR THROUGH ANY OTHER THING? BUT HE SAYS, “IF YOU SHALL ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT.” (JOHN 14:13). CAN SUCH A STATEMENT BE MADE BY A DEAD PERSON OR SOMEBODY WHO TRAVELS TO A DISTANT PLACE? Ask your carnal father for anything whether he will do it for you. Ask the government for anything you like, whether it
  • 60. will be done for you. But ask Him, He is a living person, and He will grant your request. You do not read your Bible, and if even you read, you do not understand it. Our Lord Jesus Christ does not die forever. Do you also know that His ascension means descent? The day He ascended into heaven was the day He came down to the earth. Similarly, when He descended to the earth in His carnal manifestation, He ascended into heaven. The story of our Lord Jesus Christ is not a simple one. The time of his birth was the time of his death and the time of His death was the time He regenerated, full of power, endowed with wisdom and powers, having power to rule the world. By The Obedience Of One Shall Many Be Made Righteous. (Rom 5:19) Can you notice the folly of man? Caiaphas had told the people that they knew nothing at all or would they consider that it was expedient for
  • 61. us, that one man should die for the people than the whole world to perish. (John 11:49-54). Our Lord Jesus Christ was of the opinion that it was expedient that He should die because that meant coming up again. Brethren, examine critically which of the actions taken against our Lord Jesus Christ was evil. That of Caiaphas or that of those who arrested Him and His death. Because if these things did not take place, Our Lord Jesus Christ could not have come into the world. Regeneration: To Save It Means Liberty When you are in the flesh you are in a confinement, like somebody’s movement being restricted by the four walls of a prison cell. There are certain places you cannot go or reach. But when you resurrect and become regenerated, you travel to any place at all without a passport and visa. You can enter the flesh as well as the Spirit; enter water and the fire also. It is quite easy to enter everywhere. Can you not realize that He
  • 62. is the doer of the work at this end of time in the world? When I tell you that I am not the doer but He, you always laugh. DO NOT GAZE AT THE SUN NOR ON THE MOON; DO NOT GO TO INDIA OR BRITAIN. IF SOMEBODY TELLS YOU THAT HE IS IN THE MOON, DO NOT GO BECAUSE HE HAS COME BACK, SINCE THEN; AND HE HAS BEEN HERE DOING HIS WORK EVERY TIME, EVERYWHERE. HE IS NEVER SICK, DOES NOT EXPERIENCE PAINS, HAS NO PROBLEMS. Christ Is Omnipresent Even the three days He was supposed to have been in the grave, He did not rest. He spent the three days destroying death and pains of death, collecting the keys of hades and of death and taking complete dominion over hades as the King of heaven. He also released all the members bound. Do you say again that our Lord Jesus Christ is in the sky, because He is always in the sky. He is in the sun, the moon, in the forest, inside
  • 63. water. He is in your heart; He is in your house walking majestically and boldly. CALL EVERY TIME WITHOUT GETTING TIRED. HE IS HUMAN, HE IS THE SPIRIT, HE IS FIRE AND AIR AND WATER, HE IS ALL AND IN ALL. Flesh And Blood Cannot Serve God. (1 Cor 15:50/ Matt 16:17) Do not be proud that you are doing the work. It is our Lord Jesus Christ who does the work. Do not be conceited that somebody is capable of doing everything. No flesh and blood can do the work apart from our Lord Jesus Christ. That is why you are advised to mortify the flesh and live by the spirit. If you mortify the flesh, you will be one Spirit with Him. THOUGH WE HAVE KNOWN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AFTER THE FLESH, YET NOW AND HENCEFORTH WE KNOW HIM NO MORE LIKE THAT. (2 COR 5:16) You only need to refrain from drinking, fornication, adultery, falsehood, theft and the rest of the vices and surrender yourself to Him,
  • 64. see Him, serve Him and dwell with Him and He will gain dominion over all and He will be seen lavishly everywhere. Brotherhood Is The Kingdom Of God! Do you not remember that people in the world address you as witches and wizards? This is based on the little faith you have, because you are being seen physically everywhere. Two or three persons confess they see you at the same time, in their houses, at the hospital, you converse with them, whether they close their eyes or not and so they conclude that yours is not a church but one of the most powerful witchcraft cults. They see you both physically and spiritually; you are being seen in the moon and in the stars, in water and everywhere. That is why no matter what explanations you put forward, they do not seem convinced that yours is not a secret society but insist that you belong to a very powerful cult. You Work Harder After Regeneration!
  • 65. Many of you argue that you have gone overseas. I tell you, you have been travelling down there; you are entering inside water and loosening those that are bound in chains, you are climbing to great heights and loosening the ropes. You are entering everywhere and releasing all those who are chained; and liberating all those in bondage. You go to the hospitals and liberate those affected by the machinations of the evil ones. That is why they conclude that your witchcraft is the most powerful in the world. Those who are Christ’s have crucified their flesh with the affections and lusts, and are now living in the spirit. (Gal 5:24). This is a spiritual warfare. You need no candle or incense or perfume or any other thing. But wherever you go to, people are always petrified with such fear and astonishment that they openly say that the wizards and witches have arrived again. The spirits will reveal to the people what you are; and the elemental spirits of the universe will bow down to you. Mortify The Flesh With Its Lusts And
  • 66. Affections! (Rom 8:13). Have you not been confronted with the question, to what society do you belong? As small as you are, if you are seen in the spirit, people would be bamboozled. One person alone to enter Calabar would ward off all evils and render all charms useless. That is why it sounds unbelievable to them that you should be a man of God. The world does not believe but insist that you are a witch or a wizard. For the flesh lusts against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh, and these are contradictory to the other, so that you cannot do the things that you should. (Rom 8:5-8). If, therefore, you mortify the flesh, you will live in the spirit. The doctrines delivered to you, have never existed anywhere else in the world. This marks the end of the period when ever-lasting gospels are given to you. Brethren, I do not intend to be tedious unto you, one stroke of the cane is sufficient for the wise. Those who have ears, let them hear. May God bless His Words. Amen. REFERENCE: Everlasting Gospel By Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, The Sole Spiritual Head
  • 67. Of The Universe, on:-“THE MYSTERY OF DEATH” REJOICE IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST YOU ARE GODS, NO MATTER YOUR CONDITION Any spirit which tells you that somebody will bolt from the blues and crash-land on the ground like an eaglet is not of God but carnal and demonic. Why the Jews crucified our Lord Jesus Christ was that He being man claimed He was the Son of God. And they killed Him because they had not the spirit of God in them. Up till today, the Jews still assert that God has no child. This assertion implies that there is no God, for if God has no child, who is your father? All such disputes and confusions which trouble the world stem from the flesh. There are some people here whose study of the evolutionary process of man
  • 68. makes them believe that there is no God and that life started from the sea bed creatures, to reptiles, to the present Homo sapiens. Go to the universities; listen to scientists and many others you will realize that no one believes in God. That is why you behave unseemingly. It is written in your law that you are gods, the children of the Most High God but you shall die like men. If you are a god, then dying like men will not stop you from being a god. If you are a Son of God and you die, this does not change the fact that you are a child of God. If you are a god and you get sick, it does not mean that you are no longer a god. Because you are sick, if you are a god and are disgraced or are hungry, or in lack, it does not mean that those things would not have come to you were you not to be a god. Have you not seen what happens in the world with God Almighty? In the beginning God said let us make man in our own image, after our likeness. What is the meaning of making
  • 69. man in our own image? This means that man should look like God. When you argue that God is not man, what then is God? Is He a tree? Were God not man, how would He have made man in this form which according to Him is His own image? Now you argue that man is not God. If man is not God, what is man? What is God? Is He not man? God put everything under man’s care that he should superintend over fishes, animals, birds and every other thing. He also ordered man to name all creatures. Now, the flesh has deceived you into believing that man is not God. If man is not God, what is man? Let us assume that man is not God, but the Son of God. But you argue that man is not a child of God. What then is man, when you say that man is neither God nor a Son of God, but believing in our Lord Jesus Christ what was he? The birth of our Lord Jesus Christ was to confound all wisdom. Mary was conceived for nine months, after which
  • 70. Jesus was delivered and people from east and west paid obeisance to Him. Argue that such birth did not take place. If you will argue that our Lord Jesus Christ is the Child of God, whose child are you? This issue leads to yet another. Mary gave birth to Jesus the Christ as her first child, He was a Son of God, and she also gave birth to others, the sons of men. We have our support from the Bible that those who are born of the flesh are carnal and those born of the spirit are spiritual. Our Lord Jesus Christ was born of the spirit and others were carnal. Can you not realize that man is of two categories? Amongst us, there are the sons of God and the sons of men. Now that you argue that God has just one son, does it mean that He ended His action by begetting only our Lord Jesus Christ? Has God not begotten any other person despite the teeming population of the inhabitants of the world? Can you say that our Lord Jesus Christ was the first and last child of God?
  • 71. Secondly, do you believe that since after the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ, He is still in the atmosphere? Did you not read that after three days He resurrected and showed Himself to the people? And when the disciples were terrified He told them: “Behold My hands and My feet, that it is Myself: handle Me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see Me have.” While they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, He said unto them, have ye here any meat, and they gave Him a piece of boiled fish, and of honey comb. And He took it and did eat before them. (John 24:36 -45). BROTHERHOOD IS NOT OF THE FLESH (BCS) All the confusion and doubt that abound in the world comes from the flesh. That is the spirit of Lucifer who did promise to trouble the world. We in Brotherhood rejoice in our Lord Jesus Christ, and have confidence in the spirit. That is
  • 72. why, those who are ignorant of what Brotherhood is, call it a new church. But Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is the Kingdom of God. We do not worship carnality. We do not rejoice in any other thing apart from our Lord Jesus Christ. We do not live according to the dictates of the flesh but by the directives of the spirit. ALSO WE DO NOT LOOK OR SEE THINGS CARNALLY, NEITHER DO WE HEAR WITH THE CARNAL EARS, WE DO ALL THINGS IN THE SPIRIT. WE KNOW NO MAN THROUGH THE FLESH BUT THROUGH THE SPIRIT. WE DO NOT REJOICE IN MONEY, OR SIZE, OR POSITION AND WHETHER YOU ARE A MINISTER, LAWYER, DOCTOR OR A CHIEF, WE REJOICE IN THE SPIRIT. OUR BOLDNESS AND HAPPINESS IS IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BECAUSE HE CAME, DIED, RESURRECTED AND HE IS NOW LIVING TO BE GLORIFIED. HIS REIGN HAS NO BEGINNING AND NO END. HE IS OUR CAPTAIN. HE REIGNS IN
  • 73. HEAVEN AND ON EARTH, IN THE WATER AND IN OUR BODY. IN ALL PLACES, HE REIGNS THOUGH THE WORLD KNOWS HIM NOT, WE HAVE SEEN AND KNOWN HIM. WE DO NOT BOAST, IN THE MONEY HE GIVES US. WE DO NOT BOAST, IN THE LIFE HE GIVES US. WE DO NOT BOAST IN THE WISDOM, HE GIVES US. WE REJOICE IN HIM BECAUSE HE WILL NOT FAIL US FOREVER. AS HE HAD PROMISED THAT "WHEN I GO AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU, I WILL COME BACK AND TAKE YOU TO MYSELF," HIS PROMISE IS FULFILLED IN US TODAY. HE SAID, "I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS, I WILL COME UNTO YOU". HE HAS COME UNTO US. NONE OF US HERE BOASTS OF WHAT WE HAVE. WE DO NOT EVEN REJOICE IN OUR CARNAL FATHER OR ANY OTHER THING. OUR HAPPINESS IS IN CHRIST JESUS, BECAUSE HE IS THE CONQUEROR AND OUR ARMOR BEARER. MANY PEOPLE PROFESS THAT THEY ARE CHRIST’S, OR JESUS, OR SPIRIT, BUT THEY DO NOT
  • 74. PREACH ABOUT HIM, NEITHER DO THEY BOAST IN HIM. IF YOU BOAST IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHY DO YOU NOT DO SO IN THE SPIRIT? IF YOU ARE WALKING IN THE SPIRIT, WHY DO YOU NOT BOAST IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST? BRETHREN, I DO NOT WANT TO BELABOR YOU, LET OUR FIRST LESSON BE READ: FIRST LESSON: PHILIPPIANS 3: 3 “For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.” REJOICE IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST Brethren, have you heard the Scripture? Why you have problems is that you do not rejoice in our Lord Jesus Christ and many of you have no confidence in the spirit. EARTHLY THINGS ARE LIKE THE DEW, WHICH IS TRANSITORY, BUT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ABIDES FOREVER.
  • 75. DO NOT PUT YOUR HOPE IN MAN, OR MONEY, OR ANY OF THE EARTHLY THINGS. BUT, LET YOUR HOPE, FAITH, HAPPINESS AND CONFIDENCE BE IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST FOR HE WILL NOT FAIL YOU. PEOPLE ARE INVESTIGATING THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE BIRTH OF THE LEADER AND THE SORT OF FOOD HE EATS. THEY ARE RESEARCHING INTO HIS KIND OF APPAREL, ALL IN A BID TO DISCOVER THE SOURCE OF HIS POWER. THESE PERSONS ARE TO BE GREATLY PITIED. I HIDE NOTHING FROM YOU AND I HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU THAT I AM POWERLESS AND NONE EXISTING. BUT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HAD SAID THAT “ALL POWER IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH HAD BEEN HANDED OVER TO ME. GO YE THEREFORE, AND TEACH ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY GHOST. TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL
  • 76. THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU.” IT IS ON THIS PROMISE THAT I OPERATE. HE SAID, WHOEVER BELIEVES IN ME, BELIEVES NOT IN ME BUT IN HIM WHO SENT ME. AT TIMES HE WOULD SAY I, AND THE FATHER ARE ONE. DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN THE SON BELIEVES IN THE FATHER, WHOEVER REJECTS THE SON HAS NOT THE FATHER. AS MANY AS BELIEVE IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AS THE SON OF GOD, THE SAME HAVE RIGHT TO BE CALLED THE CHILDREN OF GOD. ALL THOSE WHO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE SPIRIT TESTIFY THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS HERE. HE IS DOING THE WORK; HE IS THE MASTER, THE LORD OF LORDS AND THE KING OF KINGS. HE IS IN HEAVEN, ON EARTH AND IN US. HE DIED ONCE FOR THE SAKE OF OUR SINS. FROM THENCE LIVES HE A LIFE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FOREVER.
  • 77. IT IS NOT EXPECTED THAT ANY OTHER PERSON SHOULD DIE. IT IS NOT GIVEN THAT THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM SHOULD DIE. THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM MUST HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. AND IT IS NOT EXPECTED THAT ANY ONE SHOULD DECLARE HIMSELF TO BE JESUS OR CHRIST, OR JEHOVAH OR GOD. DO WE NEED MANY JESUSES? IS THE ONE WE HAVE NOT SUFFICIENT? IT IS NOT ALSO EXPECTED THAT ANYONE SHOULD GAZE AT THE SKY. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THE SKY? THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, TRULY I SAY UNTO YOU, HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME, THE WORKS THAT I DO SHALL HE DO, GREATER WORKS THAN THIS SHALL HE DO. IF YOU BELIEVE IN HIM AND DO GREATER WORKS, WHAT ELSE DO YOU EXPECT OF HIM IN THE SKY? People initiate into many secret societies as well as various forms of diabologies in order to be saved. But instead of getting salvation, disaster still befalls them. And our Lord Jesus
  • 78. Christ said, “Whoever believes and is baptized shall be saved, but whoever is not baptized shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe. In My name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” It is as simple as that by coming out of the water of baptism, these signs follow you. Is there any of you who is not followed by these signs? It is this issue that baffles all the inhabitants of the world and that is why they keep asking the source of power in Brotherhood? But of a truth, I tell you the moment you believe and are baptized, these signs shall follow you. You are not charged any money; neither are you given any other conditions. What do you think God is? God is the Word, and what is the Word? The Word is Christ. What is Christ? Christ is Spirit. What is Spirit? Spirit is Truth, Love,
  • 79. Faith, Peace, Holiness, Humility, Temperance, Meekness, Power and Joy. He is all and in all. Tell Me what your problem is? Have you not seen that Spirit? Has it not come? It is today that you are going to know the fruits of the Spirit. So that those who claim to possess the spirit will know their stand. Church denominations will claim they do not worship the spirit since they are orthodox churches, believing in the power of the Holy Spirit. It is today that you will know which is a spiritual church.

  • 80. THE FIRST GENTILE CONVERT: CORNELIUS WAS THE FIRST GENTILE GOD REVEALED HIMSELF TO. WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT, HOW WOULD THE WORD OF GOD SPREAD TO OTHER NATIONS? THE FIRST GENTILE CONVERT: HAVE YOU HEARD THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST EVER BEAT DRUMS, BURN INCENSE OR LIGHT CANDLES? RIGHT FROM PETER, TO WHOM THIS MINISTRY WAS HANDED, TO PAUL AND OTHERS WHO SERVED IN THE MINISTRY, HAVE YOU HEARD ANY OF THEM BEAT DRUM, BURN INCENSE OR OR LIGHT CANDLES USED PERFUMERY OR ANY OF ALL THE OTHER ABOMINABLE ACTS YOU TAKE DELIGHT IN DOING IN THE NAME OF SPIRITUALISM? Which spirit is that? When our Lord Jesus Christ had not yet bestowed the spirit on His disciples, He told them not to enter into the way of the Samaritans but to go to the lost sheep of Israel. That is to say, without the Holy Spirit
  • 81. the world would perish. Because when our Lord Jesus Christ lived in flesh, He had limited functions. He directed the disciples to the Israelites only. If they entered a house they would ask if there were any Israelite dwelling there, and they would attend to only the Israelites. If there were no Israelites, they would leave. It is exactly what the church denominations are doing. When they get to a group of people, they will ask if members of their churches are there. In the hospital they will ask if their member is there. Such practices are carnal and not spiritual. When our Lord Jesus Christ had bestowed the spirit on His disciples, Cornelius had a dream, and an angel told him that God had heard his prayer. The angel told him to send somebody to Joppa to meet one Peter who lodged with Simon the tanner, and that Peter would tell him what to do. It was not the spirit directing Cornelius but an angel. Cornelius, the centurion sent three of his
  • 82. men to Peter. Before the arrival of the three, the spirit had already informed Peter that three people were waiting outside for him. Even before the messengers left to their destination, Peter saw in a trance how heaven opened and certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners and was let down to the earth:wherein were all manners of four footed animals and other beasts of the earth and, and wild beast and creeping things, and fowls of the air, and he was told to kill and eat. But he refused on the excuse that he had never eaten anything common or unclean. This action was repeated three times, and the vessel was carried up. The voice told him that what God hath cleansed, call not thou common. This vision really disturbed him; and as he was thinking over it, the three men from Cornelius arrived, the same spirit told him, “Behold, three men seek thee,” and he went out and saw the three men from
  • 83. Cornelius, who told him their mission. These men were Gentiles. Remember that our Lord Jesus Christ had told them not to enter the way of the Gentiles but these were Gentiles before him. The situation worried Peter but the Spirit told him to follow them. SINCE HE WALKED IN THE SPIRIT, HE HAD TO OBEY THE DICTATES OF THE SPIRIT. PETER OBEYED THE SPIRIT AND WENT TO CORNELIUS. ON SEEING PETER, CORNELIUS FELL DOWN AT HIS FEET, AND WORSHIPPED HIM. BUT PETER TOOK HIM UP, SAYING, STAND UP; MYSELF ALSO AM A MAN. Peter told him you know that it is unlawful for a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation. But God hath shewed me that I should call no man common or unclean, therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for; I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me? Cornelius narrated the preceding events that led to this meeting and Peter opened his mouth and
  • 84. told them about our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of all. Those who were present received the Holy Spirit. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME IN HUMAN HISTORY THE WORD OF GOD WAS EXTENDED BEYOND THE JEWS. CORNELIUS WAS THE FIRST GENTILE GOD REVEALED HIMSELF TO. WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT, HOW WOULD THE WORD OF GOD SPREAD TO OTHER NATIONS? NOTE THAT WHEN THE TWELVE DISCIPLES WALKED WITH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THEY WERE NEVER TOLD TO ENTER INTO THE WAY OF THE SAMARITANS OR OF THE GENTILES. SO WHEN THE OTHER ELEVEN HEARD THAT PETER HAD GONE TO THE GENTILES WITH THE GOSPEL, THEY ACCUSED PETER OF BRINGING CONFUSION. BUT WHEN THEY GATHERED, HE TOLD THEM OF HIS VISION AND WHAT FOLLOWED, THEY WERE SATISFIED. THAT IS WHY IT IS SAID THAT WHOEVER WALKS IN THE SPIRIT DOES NOT ERR. IF THE SPIRIT TELLS YOU TO GO TO BABANGIDA, OR
  • 85. QUEEN ELIZABETH, AND INFORM HIM OR HER OF THESE THINGS, GO STRAIGHT. BY DOING THAT THERE IS NO MISTAKE AND NO ONE CAN CHALLENGE YOU. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS LOVE Brethren, our confidence is in the Spirit. Wherever the Spirit directs you, go forth. If the spirit tells you to go and worship in the Roman Catholic Church, do so. If you are told to go to the Presbyterian, or Amorc, or any place for that matter, do not hesitate. There is no discrimination in this Kingdom. Listen and hearken to the Spirit, in whatever you are directed. THE SPIRIT DOES NOT CREATE DIVISION. WITH HIM THERE IS NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE, YOUNG OR OLD. WE HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE MOSLEMS, MEMBERS OF THE OGBONI, CHRISTIANS. WE HAVE NO TROUBLE WITH GHOSTS, MAN, OBON, ROBBERS AND THIEVES. WHAT IS REQUIRED OF US IS TO LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT IN WHATEVER WE ARE TOLD TO DO. WE
  • 86. HAVE NO TROUBLE WITH WHITES, OR BLACKS. SINCE OUR CONFIDENCE IS IN THE SPIRIT, WHEREVER YOU ARE SENT, GO THERE BECAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS NO BETHEL. Remember that when Saul was to go to Damascus to arrest the followers of our Lord Jesus Christ, he was authorized by the high priest to arrest and jail anyone who called on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. On his way, bright light shone round about him from heaven, and the voice of the Lord called on him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said who art thou Lord? And the voice said; I am Jesus whom thou persecute. Saul was struck blind and for three days he did not see. It was the same Jesus who told him to go to one Ananias. The same Jesus revealed to Ananias about Saul. This shows to you that the spirit is that of love. He told Ananias to go and pray for Saul that Saul may receive his sight. Can you see the situation? On learning the order, Ananias answered,
  • 87. “Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem. And here he hath authority from the chief Priests to bind all that call on thy name.” But the Lord said unto him: Go thy way, for he is a chosen vessel unto Me, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings, and the children of Israel. Ananias did not argue but went his way because he was in the spirit. When he arrived there, he placed his hands on him and said, Brother Saul, “the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou carest, hath sent me, thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scale; and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. Such is the work of the Spirit. YOU DO NOT BEHAVE ANYHOW YOU LIKE. IT IS OUR DUTY TO DO THIS WORK. IF WE WALK IN THE SPIRIT, THERE WILL BE NEITHER QUARRELING, NOR FIGHTING, NOR TROUBLE, NOR CONFLICT BUT
  • 88. LOVE WILL BE FOUND EVERYWHERE. 2ND LESSON: GALATIANS 5: 22-23 “But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against such there is no law.” Brethren, have you heard the Scripture? He sent Cornelius to go to Peter and be told what to do. Peter went to him as he was also directed. Did Peter beat up Cornelius, or quarrel, or curse or abuse him? He went and saved him, and converted Cornelius to become a Christian. He told Ananias to go and pray for a man called Saul that he may receive his sight. When Ananias went to Saul, did he beat, curse or extort Saul? IN THE SAME MANNER, IF THE FATHER DIRECTS YOU TO GO TO A CERTAIN BROTHER’S HOUSE, OR TO LAGOS, AND OTHER PLACES, IT IS OUR DUTY TO OBEY, AND SERVE WHOEVER IS CONCERNED WITH LOVE. IT IS THE WORK OF GRACE, MERCY, TRUTH, AND PATIENCE, WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO
  • 89. WITH QUARRELING, MURDER, OR SNATCHING SOMEBODY’S WIFE OR HUSBAND. OBEY THE DIRECTIVE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT We have no particular Bethel since our functional Bethel is the Holy Spirit. Thus, the issue of posing as an elder or prophet in charge of the Bethel does not arise. Your duty is to listen to the spirit and do what it tells you. Whoever walks in the spirit is a child of God, but whoever walks in flesh is of Satan. As at now, members of WAI (War Against Indiscipline) Brigade had come to help maintain order in the premises, but it is reported that members of the Youth Fellowship relentlessly oppose them. Are you the only owner of these premises? Have they come to kill? They have merely come to help guard the place. ANYBODY CAN COME AND JOIN HANDS WITH YOU IN THE SERVICE, AS LONG AS THE SPIRIT OF GOD DIRECTS THEM. AS I
  • 90. AM, IF SOMEBODY COMES TO ME AND SAY THAT HE IS GOING TO PREACH, I WILL MERELY THANK THE FATHER AND GET DOWN FOR HIM, KNOWING THAT IT WILL GIVE ME VACATION. IS IT NOT ONE AND THE SAME THING? Can you now realize that there is no law here? The Father had directed all of you, ordained ones, elders, Christ Servants, Christ Students, and others to guard the premises. If you cannot do the work, and the Holy Spirit mobilizes another group of people elsewhere to come and do it, why do you resist them? On this note, we are not under law but our confidence is in the Holy Spirit. If the Spirit directs you, obey accordingly. It is the Father who sends you and you are not under any law. Except in a situation where somebody tells you that what he does is a personal opinion. In that case, do not obey. But whatever the spirit tells you, even when somebody comes to you and says that the Father sends him to come and pray for you, kneel down and receive
  • 91. the prayer because it is for your own good. REFERENCE: BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU, THE SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE. EXCERPT FROM THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL: THE QUALITIES OF A CHILD OF GOD
