TELL US, WHEN SHALL THESE THINGS BE? AND
WHAT SHALL BE THE SIGN OF THY COMING, AND
OF THE END OF THE WORLD?
TAKE HEED THAT NO MAN DECEIVE YOU. FOR
MANY SHALL COME IN MY NAME, SAYING, I AM
CHRIST; AND SHALL DECEIVE MANY. Mat 24:4
AND MANY FALSE PROPHETS SHALL RISE, AND
SHALL DECEIVE MANY. (Mat 24:11 )
Mat 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives,
the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell
us, when shall these things be? and what shall be
the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the
world?
Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them,
Take heed that no man deceive you.
Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I
am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and
shall deceive many.
Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the
love of many shall wax cold.
Mat 24:13 BUT HE THAT SHALL ENDURE UNTO THE
END, THE SAME SHALL BE SAVED.
FOR THE PRIESTHOOD BEING CHANGED, THERE IS
MADE OF NECESSITY A CHANGE ALSO OF THE
LAW. (Heb 7:12)
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.
SO YOU SHOULD NOT BE DECEIVED BY ANYBODY WHO
MAY RISE TOMORROW AND CLAIM TO BE THE CHIEF
PRIEST. FOR OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS TAKEN HIS
GLORIOUS THRONE, AND HIS GLORY HAS NEITHER
BEGINNING NOR AN END. HE IS THE GREAT TEACHER
WHO HAS TAKEN EVERYBODY TO HIS FATHER.

HEREAFTER I WILL NOT TALK MUCH WITH YOU:
FOR THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD COMETH, AND
HATH NOTHING IN ME. (Joh 14:30)
Joh 14:25 These things have I spoken unto you,
being yet present with you.
Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy
Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he
shall teach you all things, and bring all things to
your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto
you.
Joh 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give
unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid.
Joh 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go
away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye
would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father:
for my Father is greater than I.
Joh 14:29 And now I have told you before it come to
pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might
believe.
Joh 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you:
for the prince of this world cometh, and hath
nothing in me.
Joh 14:31 But that the world may know that I love
the Father; and as the Father gave me
commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go
hence.
THE GOD OF THIS WORLD HATH BLINDED THE
MINDS OF THEM WHICH BELIEVE NOT
THEREFORE SEEING WE HAVE THIS MINISTRY, AS
WE HAVE RECEIVED MERCY, WE FAINT NOT;
BUT HAVE RENOUNCED THE HIDDEN THINGS OF
DISHONESTY, NOT WALKING IN CRAFTINESS,
NOR HANDLING THE WORD OF GOD DECEITFULLY;
BUT BY MANIFESTATION OF THE TRUTH
COMMENDING OURSELVES TO EVERY MAN'S
CONSCIENCE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. (2Co 4:1-2 )
THE GOD OF THIS WORLD HATH BLINDED THE
MINDS OF THEM WHICH BELIEVE NOT(2Co 4:4)
2Co 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as
we have received mercy, we faint not;
2Co 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of
dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling
the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation
of the truth commending ourselves to every man's
conscience in the sight of God.
2Co 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them
that are lost:
2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded
the minds of them which believe not, lest the light
of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image
of God, should shine unto them.
2Co 4:5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ
Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for
Jesus' sake.
2Co 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine
out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give
the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in
the face of Jesus Christ.
2Co 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen
vessels, that the excellency of the power may be
of God, and not of us.
ASTROLOGY
THE FATHER HAS CALLED YOU TO REMOLD YOU
WITH HIS WORD. John1:1—5
*IN ALL YOUR UNDERTAKINGS LET THE WORD OF
GOD BE YOUR GUIDE AND LIGHT. YOU DO NOT
NEED THE SUN AND MOON AND STARS, WE ARE
LIVING BY THE WORD OF GOD, GOD ALONE CAN
OVERCOME ALL PROBLEMS.
BIBLE WITNESS ON ASTROLOGY: Isa 47:13 -15
Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels.
Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly
prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these
things that shall come upon thee.
Isa 47:14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire
shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves
from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal
to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
Isa 47:15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom
thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy
youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter;
none shall save thee.
THE FATHER HAS CALLED YOU TO REMOLD YOU
WITH HIS WORD. John1:1—5
"In the beginning was the word, and the word was
with God, and the word was God. He was in the
beginning with God; all things were made through
Him, and without Him was not anything made that
was made. In him was life, and the life was the light
of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the
darkness has not overcome it."
You were invited to the Pentecostal Assembly to be
transformed through the word of God. Brotherhood of
the Cross and Star as you were earlier told is love.
Strive hard to love one another and forget about the
pattern of our nomenclature, it is as reflected below:
Ordained, Students, Christ's Servants, Choristers and
the Congregation, you are all one flock under one
shepherd. Do not allow the system of nomenclature
start to confuse you.
Many of you failed to participate in the Pentecostal
from the first day but you come for the last blessing.
DO YOU THINK THAT YOU WILL BE BLESSED WITH
WATER? IT IS WITH THE VERY WORDS WHICH YOU
HAVE REFUSED TO RECEIVE. I HAVE SAID SO MUCH
ABOUT THE HOLY OIL BUT YOU INSIST ON HAVING
IT, INSTEAD OF RECEIVING THE WORD OF GOD. DO
NOT FORGET THAT IT IS WITH THE WORD THAT I
MAKE THE HOLY OIL. You are also very much after
the Biakpan water, no matter how slippery the road
is, you like to rush to Biakpan to have the water,
forgetting that it is with THE WORD that I made the
water. You will even refuse to give the water to your
intimate friends. Christ made it clear to us that the
flesh does not give us anything. THE WORD OF GOD
WHICH IS GIVEN TO YOU IS LIFE, POWER, WEALTH,
FOOD AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED.
THE WORD OF GOD WILL BE THE JUDGE
I DO NOT JUDGE ANYBODY BUT THE WORD THAT
CHRIST HAS SPOKEN WILL JUDGE HIM. DO YOU
NOT SEE HOW THE WHOLE OF MANKIND IS
SUFFERING BY REFUSING TO ACCEPT THE WORDS
OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST? REDIRECT YOUR
MINDS AND WAYS TO THE FIRST LOVE THAT YOU
HAD FOR OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO BEING A
JEALOUS GOD, HE TELLS YOU NOT TO HAVE ANY
OTHER GODS BEFORE HIM OR EVEN BOW DOWN TO
WORSHIP THEM. HE TELLS YOU TO WORSHIP HIM IN
SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH, BECAUSE HE IS THE
ALMIGHTY GOD. HE DOES NOT KNOW
SEGREGATION, INTRIGUE OR DECEIT.
As you are being sent home now, go and invite the
whole world, go into the villages, and into the
churches, and get them united, tell the government
to be united and remain in love. THIS IS THE REIGN
OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. Do not be annoyed,
and do not quarrel with any person. Do not bear
malice against any person. Whoever bears grudges
against any person should reconcile and make peace
with such a person. IN ALL YOUR UNDERTAKINGS
LET THE WORD OF GOD BE YOUR GUIDE AND LIGHT.
YOU DO NOT NEED THE SUN AND MOON AND
STARS, WE ARE LIVING BY THE WORD OF GOD, GOD
ALONE CAN OVERCOME ALL PROBLEMS.
Do not be deceived by any person that this and that
type of illness cannot be healed by God, or that this
and that problem cannot be overcome by God
because what God does not do, no person can do it,
what God does not take away, no person can take it
away. Whatever ailment, whatever sickness,
whatever trouble that you have, do not take herbs,
roots, leaves, or medicine, even when it is directed
by an angel. God is the only healer, bow down and
worship Him. If you have any illness and someone
comes and tell you that, that sickness is from man
rejoice because it will soon be over, but if someone
tells you that the cause is from God, prostrate before
God and ask Him to forgive you. Any person who tells
you that your ailment or tribulation is from man, juju,
and witchcraft or from the world, is the messenger of
Satan and a deceiver. All the problems that you
have, all the sicknesses and all the afflictions that
beset you is because you do not submit yourself to
God and you do not listen to the word of God and
practice same.
If someone offends his brother, and afterwards he
goes to his brother and asks for, forgiveness, what is
your problem? Every wrongdoing we commit, we
commit against God, and if we go to God for
forgiveness and He accepts us back, why should
other people bother themselves. If God wants you to
suffer and perish, He will harden your heart, deafen
your ears, and close your eyes to reasoning, and you
would not run to God for forgiveness. In that case He
wants you to suffer. Before you find yourself in such
a position it means you have deliberately committed
atrocities without a conscience. Brethren, this era is
not the era of human beings, it is the era of Jehovah
God and His Christ, therefore, you cannot say that
your brother is a Pastor, Bishop, an Evangelist, a
Leader and therefore he will help you. This is the era
of the Holy Spirit. Go into the world and impart this
message unto them, if you or anybody wants to
adhere to the instructions and advice given you, he
can do so in order to be saved. Many of you are
afraid to preach this truth. Your friends who are
lawyers, permanent secretaries, heads of
institutions, are starved of the gospel, and
consequently they incur punishment for their
wrongdoings. Since they are made to suffer because
you refuse to teach them, you are not free either.
The kingdom of God is not for you and me alone, it is
not only for Nigerians, it is for the whole world. Go ye
therefore, and inform the adulterers, fornicators,
idolaters, thieves, murderers, and all sinners to
refrain from sin in order that they may be saved. If
you watch closely, you would realize that things
have changed in the Government. In the past if you
commit any crime in the government you will be
mildly reprimanded, but now any crime you commit
in the government you are greatly punished because
this is the reign of Jehovah God and His Christ.

Excerpt from the gospel: THE KEY OF LIFE
……………………………………………………………………………
THE WORK OF UNITY
UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL:
FIRST JOHN 4:21:
"And this commandment we have from him, that he
who loveth God love his brother also."
Have you heard what is read to you? You always say
that God knows your heart. He does not know. If you
do not love your brother, sister, or neighbor, you do
not belong to this kingdom. It is only here that you
have to be one. Where ever you go now to settle, be
it Aba, Port Harcourt, Lagos, Uyo or anywhere at all,
you are given land to build your house, live there
with the people peacefully, without division. You are
all one, be it in America, India, or anywhere else.
Black or white or colored, we are one and the same
people. Look at the sister sitting there, she comes
from London. Everywhere people are shouting: "we
are brothers." In Ghana, Ivory Coast, Britain, Nigeria
and everywhere. And so you should not continue to
complain that you have no father, mother, brother, or
sister or children. What we are doing here is not
raising the dead, giving visions, but to see about
uniting every person in the world together- to bring
them into that one and indivisible whole.
Your attention is drawn to a situation at Ikot Itie
Idung, where all the churches are now united. They
have united together. We are working towards
uniting all the Churches together. What is the sense
in causing divisions? Right now all the thieves have
teamed up to form a union, the prostitutes have done
the same thing, and the rest of the people. Tell Me
the difference between a thief, prostitute, murderer,
fornicator, swindler or what have you? They are all
human being. Tell me the reason why you should not
come together? Apostle Essien from Ndon Ebom
came the other day and said that all the churches in
that community want to hold a thanksgiving service
on the twelfth day of the month to make peace. In
the past, there have been troubles in that
community, and now all of them want to come
together and co-operate. Individually, whether you
have money, wisdom, children, it is not My concern.
When you come together, everything is bound into
one, there will be peace, love, wealth, knowledge,
power, co-operation-there will be everything and
nothing will be lacking. RIGHT NOW IF THERE IS
ANY PERSON EXISTING IN ANY PART OF THIS
WORLD WHO SAYS HE DOES NOT REVERENCE
BROTHERHOOD, THAT PERSON IS TELLING A LIE.
Many people would watch when you say you have no
body to help you- no sister, no brother, or no
relatives, they would jump on you and do what they
like. But when they discover that you have many
relatives, no person will come to you. When they look
at you, they will say this man calls every person
brother, sister, and here they will fear you and say all
these people are your brothers and sisters. And they
will warn other persons not to go there so as not to
be consumed.
A leopard or a tiger can do whatever it likes with a
single cow, but if there is a congregation of several
herds of cows, the leopard will hide somewhere and
watch the cows because it cannot afford to devour
any one cow with such a large number of cows
looking on. And so when the leopard discovers that it
cannot do anything, with all the cows around, it
would go to one of cows and ask him what he is
sitting down there for? Why not go and take fresh air
and enjoy yourself with food somewhere out there,
for there is no need sitting down here. It will go
round and say the same thing to the rest of the cows
and when it succeeds in dispersing them into
different directions, it will have the chance of killing
all of them.
Right now if you go to any place, people will be
watching you to see if you are alone or not. As they
go up they will see another group of people coming
and conversing. They will walk down and still see
one, two, three, or more people coming, then they
will be so discouraged from doing anything to you
because you are so many, and if they tamper with
any of you, they will destroy him. The person has to
allow them to pass. But if you walk alone, the people
plotting against you will be watching you, and they
will be moving up and down the road to see if there
are some other persons accompanying you. If they
find that there are no other person, they will jump on
you, cut your throat, and do all sorts of things. You
do not have any other people to help you except
members of Brotherhood of the Cross and star.
A pastor at Port Harcourt did not attach himself to
his people and the laws of the land, but instead he
attached himself to Brotherhood of the Cross and
Star. Now that he is dead, his people say they have
nothing to do with him, that he was not with them.
That is the challenge to Brotherhood and every hand
must be on deck to see that we all go there to meet
that challenge. And so you see that no village,
community, town, country or government can
withstand Brotherhood. Should Brotherhood voice
out they will run away and go into hiding. When you
begin to make the pronouncement that you have
nobody, and that you are alone in the world, that is
instrumental to your situations and positions in life.
You will not have anybody to assist you in life if you
continue to say these things. You will be poor, will
be sick and shall finally die. But once you continue
to believe that Brotherhood will always be at your
side, surely it will be.
God is the God of multitude. Therefore, every person
is your brother. If you say that every man is your
brother, every woman is your sister, you will have
power and nothing will influence you.
In Brotherhood wherever we are given land, we have
to build houses in villages, towns, and cities, and
even establish firms and other institutions so that
many people who have an occupation will be sent
there to work.
Your trouble is that very many people cannot live
there, that since there is no electricity, pipe borne
water, and all other amenities and luxuries of life.
That is what I have come to do. If you have been
weeping like an orphan, you have to rearrange your
thinking, for you have people. You have brothers and
sisters all over the world. When you go out and see
the number of people you have, you will become very
joyous and will know that nothing is wrong with you.
Right now the whole world is filled with Brotherhood
children. Every person you see outside will be
wearing white, even those who do not come to
Brotherhood purposely go and sew their whites and
put on and call you brother or sister. Go to Ghana,
Liberia, London, and everywhere in the world, you
will see people with white. Do you know what the
world has forgotten?
When Dr. Azikiwe was to form a political party, he
went round and gathered all thieves, truck-pushers,
and the rest of the lowly placed people to form the
N.C.N.C. But Chief Awolowo said that he wants to
form a political party of decent men, of doctors,
lawyers, millionaires, and educated people, that was
Action Group and fan themselves that the N.C.N.C.
cannot cope with them. They forgot that the thieves,
truck pushers and their gangs became ministers with
portfolios. And so all the doctors, lawyers, and other
big men were standing aside in their houses and they
did not have a say. That was the decision of
majority.
Don't you know that man is the most expensive thing
in the world? Even if he has crooked eyes, broken
legs, he is very useful in the world. He has an
assignment. When in 1977 the Churches in Calabar
and all over the country united together to wage war
against Brotherhood, THE YOUTH FELLOWSHIP was
formed to counter the evil intentions of the
churches. The so-called big men ran away and hid
themselves. Those members of other churches
thought it was our Father alone so that they could
catch Him like a fowl as they did to Our Lord Jesus
Christ. They did not know that there is a multitude
that they could not cope with. The big men had their
role to play while others carried out the combat, they
went on underground work, urging others to give
their support, financial or otherwise. If you go to the
government, police or any place throughout the
nation, Brotherhood is there. The thieves in
Brotherhood have their own duty to perform. They do
not steal indiscriminately. If they hear anybody
saying any evil word against Brotherhood, they will
mark that person, find out where he lives, one day
they will go and clear his house. And so people will
ask why did you say evil things about Brotherhood,
whatever the person wants will be given to him. And
you will boast that without Brotherhood, I would not
have been what I am now, Brotherhood is feeding
me. Another person will ask if I come will they
accept me? Then he will be told that Brotherhood
doesn't discriminate, and so the person will come.
There are people listening everywhere to hear what
people would say about Brotherhood. If you say evil
words, you will be so marked out. And so all of us
have assignments. What a truthful person can do, a
liar cannot do it. A liar, a thief, a fornicator and the
rest of the people have their different assignments.
No person is completely useless. That is why death
is not yet destroyed because it has not completed its
own assignment. If there is anything going wrong
somewhere, it will be informed to go and do its work.
That is why when you are told to forsake sins, you
frown that you are going to do it gradually, saying
that you are only doing it as a hobby, to safeguard
something, afterwards you will do away with it
entirely. The government has realized that it is
unwise to continue to execute murderers, but they
have to do it to deter those who think they can just
take up a knife and get to the market and start
cutting off people's head without any cause. They
are just punishing them to keep down the murder
rate. It is only at the fullness of time that they will
completely abandon the idea of killing the
murderers.
Even if a woman is a fornicator, that does not
prevent her from serving God. The other person is
rogue, that does not prevent him from doing
something for God. They are all your brothers and
sisters. Everybody has a purpose, a sister who
fornicates will be able to entice plenty of men into
Brotherhood. The same thing is applicable to a man
who is a fornicator. You will say that you are good,
how many people have you brought in here?
It is high time we united all churches, secret
societies, and all other institutions into one. The juju
doctors, necromancers, herbalists, and the rest
should be brought together also. If you do not bring
them together, who will give strong testimony,
because it is the man who has gone far who will be
able, after studying Brotherhood so much, to give a
good testimony. For you, your only testimony is that
your wife has given birth to a child and that you have
been promoted. But the juju doctor will be able to
testify because he has tested the power of
Brotherhood and has found himself wanting.
A tree has power, its bark has power, the leaves and
the roots have power and so all these small powers
must be combined to form an impregnable power.
Whether it is a leaf, root, bark of a tree, water, you
have to bring them together so that you can
establish one power.
ARE YOU NOT SURPRISED ABOUT THE HEALING
WATER AT BIAKPAN? YOU COME FROM ENGLAND,
LONDON, AMERICA, OR ANY OTHER PLACE AT ALL
AND YOU CARRY YOUR EMPTY CANS TO COLLECT
THE WATER, MUD AND SAND FROM BIAKPAN. YOU
DRINK IT AND IT CURES YOUR SICKNESS. WATER
FROM BIAKPAN IS USED AS THE LAST RESORT. IT
IS PUT ON SPECIAL USE ONLY. SOMEBODY CAN
OFFER TO GIVE YOU A FULL BOTTLE OF HOLY OIL,
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO BIAKPAN WATER, THE
PERSON WILL GIVE YOU ONLY A DROP.
Brethren, have you seen that? That is why it is said
wherever your faith is that is where your salvation
comes from. Some people have their faith in trees,
some in herbs, some in water and some in spirits.
SO THOSE WHO ARE LINKED WITH TREES HAVE
THEIR CURE FROM THE TREE, THOSE WHO ARE
LINKED TO THE LEAVES, WATER AND EVEN THE
SAND HAVE THEIR SALVATION FROM EACH OF
THESE. THOSE WHO ARE LINKED TO THE HOLY
SPIRIT HAVE THEIR CURE, POWER AND
EVERYTHING FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT.
If we love each other, we all shall speak only one
language, have one behavior. But if we hate each
other, there will continue to be many languages, we
shall believe in different ways of doing things. What
happens in the world today about Brotherhood? You
are sitting with your carnal brother or sister, holding
discussions, but immediately you see your
Brotherhood members, you will jump up and follow
them and begin to hold conversation. When you leave
your parents and relatives, you do not even care
about them, or what they are saying. They will say
that they do not know what is wrong with you
people. They will say that you are lost.
That sister who came from London did not care to go
and visit her parents. SHE CAME STRAIGHT TO SEE
THE HOLY FATHER FIRST. Yesterday she was here,
today she is here again. Right now she is very happy,
being that she is with us.
Anywhere you go, you first of all ask for a Bethel,
even if you have had all storied buildings with so
many rooms and comfortable beds. You do not want
all these luxuries of life. You will instead look for a
Bethel to stay comfortably in. What has actually
brought you here? What actually do you eat and
enjoy here? IT IS THAT LOVE WHICH HAS BEEN
LOST BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SEPARATED.
For very many years there was no coming together.
But right now the Father has brought everybody
together. That is why there is joy, joy, joy.
LET MY PEACE AND BLESSING REMAIN WITH YOU NOW
AND FOREVER MORE. AMEN.
THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
YOU ARE ALL INDEBTED TO THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD.
* THIS IS SO BECAUSE THE FATHER ALWAYS
PREACHES TO CORRECT THE PEOPLE'S
MISCONCEPTIONS. IN FACT, THIS IS THE MORE
REASON WHY I DO NOT RELENT IN MY EFFORTS IN
PREACHING TO YOU.
* You claim that you want to do the work of God.
What is the work of God? The work of God is hearing,
practicing and preaching the word of God.
* A spiritual song has it that," Preach, for the world
is blind and deaf." So brethren, we all should preach
ceaselessly for the entire world is blind and deaf.
This is because their misconceptions cannot be
corrected, if they are not preached to.
THE FATHER ALWAYS PREACHES TO CORRECT THE
PEOPLE'S MISCONCEPTIONS.
You are all indebted to the people of the world. You
owe them the word of God. You are to take the word
of God to every nook and cranny for them to
practice. You claim that you want to do the work of
God. What is the work of God? The work of God is
hearing, practicing and preaching the word of God.
The scripture has it that, everyone who calls upon
the name of the Lord will be saved. But it is said:
"How then shall they call on him in whom they have
not believed? And how shall they believe in him of
whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear
without a preacher?
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As
it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that
preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of
good things.
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias
saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing, by the
word of God. (Romans 10:14-17).
Sequel to the above excerpt, we are made to
understand the fact that ANYONE WHO HAS FAITH
IN GOD HAS ETERNAL LIFE. But the question is how
would we believe or have faith in Him, whom we
have never heard of? That is the reason why we have
been enjoined that, any town or city without a
prophet is perished.
Without a preacher (prophet) in a city, the
inhabitants of such a city would not believe in God
and practice His words. To that effect such a city is
condemned.
One of our brethren, residing in Zaire testified that
everybody in the compound he lives is afraid of the
house, owing to the landlord's dubious character. In
fact, he further testified that, he is the only person
and a Nigerian for that matter, who is living in the
compound till now. He added that what he had used
in winning the landlord is the Brotherhood of the
Cross and Star pamphlets. And after going through
the books, the man did not hesitate to be baptized.
He then testified that the man and his entire family
are now members of this wonderful kingdom.
A spiritual song has it that," Preach, for the world is
blind and deaf." So brethren, we all should preach
ceaselessly for the entire world is blind and deaf.
This is because their misconceptions cannot be
corrected, if they are not preached to. The words of
God preached here by the Father are so interesting
and striking that people always say that the gospels
are working marvelously each passing day. This is so
because the Father always preaches to correct the
people's misconceptions. In fact, this is the more
reason why I do not relent in my efforts in preaching
to you. And it is imperative that, you avail yourself of
this golden opportunity to listen to the word of God
and practise same.
A local adage has it that wine torments someone
according to the person's behavior. The word of God
contains love, mercy, power, peace and other
virtues. Therefore, for one to possess these virtues,
he needs to come into this kingdom (the reservoir)
and imbibe the gospel. Once you have the word of
God lavishly in you, you can never be stupid because
your eyes would be made to open. Read our first
lesson again.

THE KINGDOM IS HERE
AND SO BRETHREN, I DO NOT TEACH YOU ABOUT THE
TIME ADAM WAS IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN OR WHEN
ABRAHAM WAS A BEARDED FELLOW. ALL THESE ARE
ANCIENT HISTORY. WHAT WE HAVE NOW ARE THE NEW
LESSONS ABOUT THIS NEW KINGDOM OF GOD. WE HAVE
TO FORGET ABOUT ALL THESE THINGS THAT TRANSPIRED
IN THE PAST. RIGHT NOW YOU ARE BEING TAUGHT NEW
LESSONS ABOUT THIS KINGDOM OF GOD BUT IN OTHER
PLACES THEY ARE BEING TAUGHT THAT UNTIL JESUS
COMES BACK. THEY ARE WAITING UNTIL JESUS CHRIST
WOULD COME BACK TO TEACH THEM. BUT HERE, WE SAY
THE KINGDOM HAS ALREADY COME, AND THAT IS WHY WE
ARE HERE, YOU ARE BEING TAUGHT THE LESSONS OF THIS
KINGDOM. THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO TELL YOU WHEN AND
WHERE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS BORN, JOHN THE
BAPTIST WENT ABOUT PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF
REPENTANCE TO PEOPLE, AND THAT JOHN ATE LOCUST
BEANS AND HONEY. ALL THESE ARE HISTORY. WE HAVE
NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM. WE ARE IN THE NEW
KINGDOM OF GOD. WE HAVE BEEN SAYING THE LORD'S
PRAYER. THE KINGDOM IS ALREADY HERE. THAT IS WHY
WE ARE TOLD TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND WE HAVE TO
WORK BECAUSE THE FATHER ALSO WORKS ALL ROUND
THE CLOCK. WE RE HERE AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

This Gospel of God is now penetrating into all nooks

If you had really looked for this true wisdom,
brethren, you would not have allowed one minute or
one day to elude you, because these words I speak
to you are spirits, and they are the life eternal you
are looking for.
ALL DREAMS AND VISIONS ARE GOOD AS WELL AS FAITH,

THE RESURRECTED CHRIST:
* THE PURPOSE OF HIS CRUCIFIXION WAS TO GO TO
THE HADES, AFTER CONQUERING THE EARTH, TO
OBTAIN THE KEYS TO HADES.
* BUT BECAUSE OF MAN'S BLINDNESS, THEY CLAIM
THAT HE IS DEAD, AND SO THEY ARE GAZING INTO
THE SKY, EXPECTING HIS ARRIVAL. THAT IS A
CONTINUATION OF THAT SAME BLINDNESS, AND
IGNORANCE OF PAST GENERATIONS.
* DOES GOD DIE OR FALL SICK? WHO BESTOWS THE
HOLY SPIRIT, IF HE WERE DEAD?
When Christ was nailed to the cross, He did
commend His spirit to His Father. (Luke Chapter 23
verse 46). After three days, the same spirit went
back to His abode, and began to work miracles
among the people. HIS LOVE WAS EXPRESSED
WHEN MARY MAGDALENE RAN TO EMBRACE HIM,
BUT HE TOLD HER NOT TO TOUCH HIM BECAUSE HE
HAD NOT ASCENDED TO HIS FATHER, OUR FATHER,
HIS GOD, AND OUR GOD. (John Chapter 20 verse 17).
HE THEN GAVE MARY A MESSAGE TO DELIVER TO
HIS BRETHREN AND DISCIPLES. BUT BEFORE SHE
COULD ARRIVE THERE, CHRIST WAS ALREADY WITH
HIS DISCIPLES. WHO IN THE WORLD COULD BE
COMPARED TO HIM?
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS SEEN ALL OVER THE
PLACE DOING MANY WONDERFUL THINGS. HE TOOK
EXIT FOR THREE DAYS ONLY, AND FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. EVER SINCE HIS
RESURRECTION HE HAS BEEN HERE WITH US. THE
PURPOSE OF HIS CRUCIFIXION WAS TO GO TO THE
HADES, AFTER CONQUERING THE EARTH, TO
OBTAIN THE KEYS TO HADES. BUT BECAUSE OF
MAN'S BLINDNESS, THEY CLAIM THAT HE IS DEAD,
AND SO THEY ARE GAZING INTO THE SKY,
EXPECTING HIS ARRIVAL. THAT IS A
CONTINUATION OF THAT SAME BLINDNESS, AND
IGNORANCE OF PAST GENERATIONS. DOES GOD DIE
OR FALL SICK? WHO BESTOWS THE HOLY SPIRIT, IF
HE WERE DEAD?
John the Baptist said it clearly he baptized with
water, but there was A Being who had been before
him, whose shoe latchet he was not worthy to untie,
the person shall baptize with the Spirit. (Matthew
Chapter 3 verse 11). Read the Second Bible Lesson
again.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: JAMES Chapter 1 verses 16
to 18
"Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and
every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down
from the Father of lights, with whom is no
variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own
will begat he us with the word of truth, that we
should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures."
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ON EARTH:
It was in 1960, I enjoined people to refrain from
every form of medication and idolatry. But because
you are blind and ignorant of the truth, you continue
to indulge in these evil acts.
And as a result of this disobedience, you encounter
many problems. DO NOT DIRECT ANYBODY TO GO
TO ANY PERSON FOR WHATEVER REASON. KNOW
THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME BY HIMSELF, AND HE
IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD.
WHETHER YOU SEE HIM OR NOT, AND WHETHER
YOU BELIEVE IN HIM OR NOT, HE EXISTS, AND HE
DOES NOT RELENT IN HIS WORK. WHOEVER SEEKS
AFTER THE HOLY SPIRIT AND OBTAINS IT WILL
HAVE WISDOM, POWER, PROSPERITY AND ETERNAL
LIFE.
THE PROMISE THIS GENERATION WILL NOT PASS,
BEFORE THE HOLY SPIRIT REAPPEARS, HAS BEEN
FULFILLED. (Mark Chapter 13 verse 30). HE IS HERE.
ONLY A FEW YEARS ARE LEFT FOR HIS
MANIFESTATION IN FULL FORCE. THE FATHER, THE
SON, AND THE HOLY GHOST ABIDES HERE ON
EARTH. YOUR PROBLEMS ARE TRACEABLE TO
YOUR IGNORANCE OF HIS PRESENCE ON EARTH.
This is indeed a very lucky generation. Abraham,
Melchisedec, and the rest of the patriarchs were
longing for this kingdom, but they could not behold
it.
You and I are very lucky to have that promise
fulfilled in us. This explains why in this kingdom no
instruments of orchestra are used; we do not clap
hands, neither do we burn incense, or light candles,
and we do not make sacrifices, or do anything
unseeming. OFFER YOURSELF COMPLETELY
THEREFORE TO HIM, AND WATCH HIM TAKE
CONTROL OVER YOU. YOU ARE ONLY A WITNESS
TO THIS TRUTH. GO AND TELL THE WHOLE WORLD
TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AND TO REFRAIN FROM
HATRED, BACKBITING, CAUSING DIVISION AND
IDOL WORSHIPPING. IT IS ONLY WHEN WE REFRAIN
FROM EVIL THE WORLD WILL WITNESS THE GLORY
AND MAGNIFICENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
All the problems of men are traceable to their
unbelief and ignorance. There is bound to be wars,
famine, and all kinds of problems as long as man
continues to sin. BUT IN SPITE OF THIS, ALL THOSE
WHO BELIEVE IN GOD, AND DO HIS WILL CANNOT
BE AFFECTED ADVERSELY BY ANYTHING.
IT IS FUNNY THAT A MAN WHO DESIRES PEACE
DRINKS. DO YOU KNOW, DRINKS CAN PUSH YOU
INTO PROBLEMS, AND EVEN MAKE YOU COMMIT
MURDER? WHY SHOULD PEOPLE WHO WANT PEACE
TAKE UP MACHETES, CLUBS, AND DRUMS INTO THE
STREETS?
IT IS RIDICULOUS FOR A MAN WHOSE AMBITION IS
TO LIVE A PEACEFUL LIFE TO GET MARRIED, SEEK
FOR MONEY, AND TO ASSOCIATE WITH THE WORLD.
ALL THESE MATERIAL THINGS BRING PROBLEMS.
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE RESERVOIR OF PEACE
AND ALL GOOD THINGS. CONSEQUENTLY, THE
KINGDOM OF GOD DOES NOT CONSIST IN EATING
OR DRINKING BUT IN PEACE, IN RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND JOY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Those who are lucky enough to be called into this
kingdom to see this love, peace, and wisdom should
be resolute and upright. Having been brought under
His protection, be reassured, nothing can harm you.

THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL:
The Holy Spirit's message is called "THE EVERLASTING
GOSPEL." The teachings of the Holy Spirit have everlasting
benefits.
God has appointed time for everything and that is why this
gospel is referred to as AN EVERLASTING GOSPEL, THE
LAST OF ALL THE GOSPELS AFTER WHICH NONE WILL BE
DELIVERED. If you hear them, you will be saved, but if you
refuse to hear them you will perish. I HAVE NOT COME TO
FOUND A CHURCH OR HEALING HOME OR PRAYER HOUSE
OR TO ESTABLISH A SCHOOL. I HAVE COME TO LEAD YOU
TO THE ACCURATE WISDOM OF TRUTH AS IT IS SAID THE
COMFORTER WHO IS ALSO THE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH THE
FATHER WILL SEND IN MY NAME, HE WILL TEACH YOU AND
BRING TO YOUR REMEMBRANCE WHATSOEVER OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST HAD SPOKEN, I HAVE COME TO TEACH YOU,
TO CHANGE YOU AND TO BESTOW THIS KINGDOM OF GOD
UNTO YOU. This Kingdom of God is neither a tree, nor fish
nor stone but it is made up of human beings. As many as
receive these teachings will follow me. If you have love, if
you refrain from falsehood, anger, fornication and from any
form of vice, it means you have fulfilled your own part of the
obligation expected of you.

I have come to lead you to the accurate knowledge
of the truth. To teach you the way of everlasting life,
and to liberate you fully from the pangs of
destruction.
I neither compel nor force you to practice these
teachings. For the ability to do so does not come
from you. HOWEVER, I HAVE COMPLETED MY
TEACHINGS, AND THOSE WHO COMPLY WITH THEM
SHALL SEE GOOD DAYS AND PEACEFUL LIFE. FROM
THE DAY ADAM FORSOOK THE INSTRUCTIONS OF
GOD, HE STOPPED SEEING GOOD DAYS BUT FOUND
DEATH. THEREFORE, LEAVE BEHIND THE WORLDLY
TEACHINGS. Come here as a child. Put away all
erroneous teachings that you have had, and press on
to maturity. You cannot claim to be a Pastor,
Apostle, or a Prophet and you continue to drink and
fornicate. It is very unreasonable. THERE IS
NOTHING HIDDEN IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. His eyes
and ears are wide and large enough to see and to
hear things done in absolute secrecy. Anything done
outside this line of truth leads to eternal destruction.
REMEMBER BRETHREN, YOUR CALLING WAS NOT
TO GET MONEY, CHILDREN, CARS, HOUSES, OR FOR
EATING, BUT YOU WERE CALLED TO BE TAUGHT BY
THE HOLY SPIRIT SO THAT YOUR JOY MAY BECOME
FULL; TO BE FREE FROM ALL LUSTS AND WANTS OF
LIFE, TO GRADUATE AS MASTERS FROM THIS

TO LOVE AND TO OBEY IS ONE AND THE SAME
THING:
Joh 14:31 But that the world may know that I love
the Father; and as the Father gave me
commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go
hence.
TO LOVE AND TO OBEY IS ONE AND THE SAME
THING:
Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a
man love me, he will keep my words: and my
Father will love him, and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him.
Joh 14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my
sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine,
but the Father's which sent me.
Joh 14:25 These things have I spoken unto you,
being yet present with you.
Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy
Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he
shall teach you all things, and bring all things to
your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto
you.
Joh 14:31 BUT THAT THE WORLD MAY KNOW THAT
I LOVE THE FATHER; AND AS THE FATHER GAVE
ME COMMANDMENT, EVEN SO I DO. ARISE, LET US
GO HENCE.
If you love any person you will listen to whatsoever
the person says. You will obey the person. If you love
any person you will comply with whatever that
person tells you to do. If you are told to crawl on the
floor you will obey; if somebody tells you go there
you will go because you love the person and that is
why you submit to the person. It is said children
obey your father and your mother, and you parents
must love your children. (Eph 6:1) To obey your
father and your mother means you should love them.
If you comply, it means that the person you obey is
the person you love. And invariably, to love your
children means to obey your children, because when
you love any person it stands to reason that you
have surrendered yourself completely to such a
person, and do all his bidding. Note that it does not
mean that you should go and oppress your children,
or kill them. The Father or the Holy Spirit has come
in force to liberate the oppressed.

NOT BELIEVE IN THE WORD OF GOD, AND AS SUCH, DO NOT
BELIEVE IN GOD. THOSE WHO LISTEN TO THE WORD OF
GOD AND BELIEVE, HAVE FAITH AND SALVATION. EVEN

Q. Why are you called Leader?
A. I AM APPROPRIATELY CALLED A LEADER
BECAUSE GOD HAS PROVIDED A LIVING EXAMPLE
IN ME FOR YOU TO FOLLOW IN ORDER TO LEAD YOU
TO GOD'S KINGDOM. THE QUALITIES YOU SEE IN
ME ARE FOR YOU TO EMULATE. I AM A MODEL TO
YOU.
Q. Father, how would you re-act to this?( As I was
speaking as He kept smiling), I have not seen any
Beelzebub pot here but some insist you are of
Beelzebub, by whose power do you operate?
A. Read Mathew Chapter 12 verses 24 to 30 24: But
when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow
doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince
of the devils.
25: And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto
them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought
to desolation; and every city or house divided
against itself shall not stand: 26: And if Satan cast
out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall
then his kingdom stand? 27: And if I by Beelzebub
cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them
out? therefore they shall be your judges. 28: But if I
cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom
of God is come unto you. 29: Or else how can one
enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods,
except he first bind the strong man? and then he will
spoil his house. 30: He that is not with me is against
me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth
abroad; and, 1 Corinthians Chapter 2 verses 10-11,
10: But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit:
for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep
things of God. 11: For what man knoweth the things
of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?
even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the
Spirit of God. 1 Corinthians 2:16: For who hath known
the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But
we have the mind of Christ.
All powers belong to the Father, I do not have
any power of my own. BUT THE SECRET OF MY
POWER IS IN PRAYERS. The Father grants the
requests of those who have faith in Him and worship
Him in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. Faith in God is not a
mere claim, it is the practice of the claim. Didn't our
Lord Jesus Christ say that if we have faith as little
as a mustard seed that we could do greater things? I
worship the Father with all dedication and devotion
with every zeal in righteousness, in spirit, and truth,
and He has become faithful to His words by
manifesting His great powers through me, yet they
say I am of Belzeebub. It's either they do not believe
in Our Lord Jesus Christ whom they claim to profess
or they are saying that God is not capable of
possessing such powers. But they are wrong. The
things of the sprit cannot be understood by the flesh.
But soon all men's work shall be made manifest, (He
quickly stated).
With a moving sense of humility Leader OBU turned
to me and said. “MY SON, LET NO ONE TELL YOU
THAT THE ONE WHO WILL RULE WITH A ROD OF
IRON WILL COME FROM THE SKY." Pre-empting my
next question He cited the following Bible Text:
"Revelation Chapter 12 verse 5 Says that he'll be
born of a woman. He will also come as a thief in the
night, not to the observation of all men. Only few
witnessed the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ out
of all the inhabitants if the world.
Q. Could the promised Holy Spirit be here now?
A. It is the arrival of the Holy Spirit that exposed the
truth. Read John Chapter 14 versa 28:
28: Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away,
and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would
rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my
Father is greater than I.
If you were baptized, you would know that the Holy
Spirt is personified. The scripture is clear in referring
to the Holy Spirit as " He," Leader O.O. Obu
explained.
EXCERPT FROM INTERIEW WITH PRESSMAN
……………………………………………………………………………
THE MAN CHILD, WHO WAS TO RULE ALL NATIONS
WITH A ROD OF IRON,
GOLDEN TEXT: REVELATION 12:5
And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule
all nations with a rod of iron, and her child was
caught up to God and his throne.
Brethren the three texts form the basis of our
sermon. This is not the time to deceive any person,
either with vision or dream or otherwise. It is said
the kingdom of this world has become the kingdom
of Jehovah God and His Christ. (Rev 11:15). It is also
said that what was done to the Israelites shall also
be done unto the Gentiles. His coming had been
revealed, and this is the time for the manifestation of
the revelation.
It was revealed that a young girl would give birth to
a male child, and his name will be Emmanuel. It was
also revealed that a woman shall deliver a man child
who will rule the world with a rod of iron. All power
in heaven and on earth, according to the revelation,
is handed unto this man-child. The revelation has
been fulfilled this day but the world does not know
Him. The world is instead gazing into the sky, going
to the mountain tops and gathering stones and
sticks to seek for power and help. Why has this
wisdom eluded the whole world?
The problems of the world are brought about by this
ignorance. When you say that you cannot worship
any man, who was the one who ascended? Was he a
stone or a stick or a fish or an angel? Which angel
has God ever told, "Ye are my son and this day have I
begotten thee?" (Heb 1:5).
The angel made it clear through the revelation that
the man-child shall be brought forth by a woman. In
the first advent His name was given as Jesus, the
Emmanuel, meaning God with man. But this time
around the mystery is that no name has been given.
But it is said in the scriptures that He will come with
an iron rod to rule the world. Therefore if you fail to
know and recognize this person who had been
empowered to rule the world with an iron rod and
into whose hands all power in heaven and on earth is
entrusted, you are doomed.
If all power and authority is given to this being that
you refuse to recognize, what will you do on the day
of judgement? All the trees, stones, angels and the
rest of the creatures bow down and worship Him. If
you, man, refuse to worship Him, from where will
your salvation come? Do you remember what
happened to Lucifer?
In the case of Our Lord Jesus Christ it was
prophesied that a young girl should bring forth a
male child and His name shall be called Jesus. But in
this case, the revelation is that a woman shall bring
forth a man child who will rule the world with a rod
of iron.
This latter revelation has since been fulfilled, and
the man child is ruling with a rod of iron. The
problem with the world is that they do not know Him,
and instead of seeking to know and recognize Him
they are saying that they cannot worship a man.
THE FIRST ADAM WAS A CHILD OF GOD, AND THE
SECOND ADAM WAS A CHILD OF GOD. THE THIRD
ADAM IS THE MANIFESTATION OF THE FATHER, THE
SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE HAS BEEN GIVEN
ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY WITH WHICH TO RULE
THE WHOLE WORLD. HE THEREFORE HAS NOT
COME AS A PREACHER OR PROPHET OR A
MESSENGER, BUT AS A KING WITH POWER AND
AUTHORITY TO RULE HEAVEN AND EARTH.
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME TODAY,
TOMORROW, AND FOREVER. (Heb 13:8).
The first Christ was given superintendency over the
fishes in water, the birds of the air, the animals in
the bushes, the trees and all the things created by
God. Since that time that the authority was given to
Him, has He been dethroned? Or has that authority
been taken away from Him? He came back to
continue His kingship in the kingdom of His Father
which endures forever. At that time His itinerary was
not made a matter of: "no cross, no crown." IN THE
SAME MANNER HE HAS COME AGAIN, NOT
ANSWERING JESUS, BUT WITH A NEW NAME AND
WITH A ROD OF IRON TO RULE THE WORLD. HE HAS
COME WITH A NEW NAME WHICH IS WRITTEN
BENEATH HIS GARMENT WHICH NO ONE KNOWS
EXCEPT HIMSELF.
Those of you who question why the Father has not
revealed this wisdom to the entire world, have you
forgotten Herod's intention and plans when he heard
that a king was born? To make sure that he had no
rival and no other person reigned during his life-time,
Herod ordered that all male children of particular
ages be killed. That shows you how wonderful man
is. But unfortunately for man, God is all-knowing.
If God were to disclose to the world, like it was done
in the case of Jesus Christ, human beings and
governments would rise up in arms against such a
person. Nobody knows whether he is black or white
for now. As the heaven is higher than the earth, so
also has God's wisdom surpassed man's. (Isa 55:9).
How will you be able to know this person who is
destined to rule the world with a rod of iron and who
has been trusted with all power and authority in
heaven and on earth? It is written that he will come
like a thief in the night. (1 Thes 5:2).
A fool at forty is said to be a fool forever. Being
fooled once is understandable; but to be fooled a
second time means you are a fool forever. God has
since realized that messengers and prophets and
even His Begotten Son, He has been sending down
end up being slain by man. That is why this time
around, He has decided to come by Himself and with
full grace. His advent has therefore eluded the entire
world.
The world is wasting its time, energy and money to
visit the sun, moon, and stars and the rest of the
planets to investigate and try to find out this
mystery. They are merely wasting their time because
power and authority over all the planets is in the
hands of this being whose identity they are trying to
unravel.
If your enemy intends to go to war with you and he
has one thousand soldiers while you have only
twenty, the only remedy is for you to go and make
peace with him. Initially the world had thought this
kingdom to be a thing to joke with. But they have
realized that it is not something to toy with. When a
child is born in the world, the people will try to
investigate through various ways to know what kind
of a person that child will grow up to be. If they
realize that the child is likely to be prominent, they
will find one way or the other to eliminate that child.
For those who are awaiting the arrival of Our Lord
Jesus Christ from the sky, if it should happen like
that what do you think the enemies would do? Would
they allow Him to land at all? And if He has to land at
all, where will He land? With the human laws over
the land, sea and air, where will the people allow
Him to land? The same thing that happened to the
Israelites and the people of old is repeating itself
today.
It was stated in their books that Elijah shall come
before the Messiah. (Matt 11:10-15). To make
matters worse for them, Elijah was taken up in the
manner that was known by the people, and because
of that all of them expected him to come back in that
manner before the arrival of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore when Christ the Messiah arrived without
the appearance of Elijah as stated in their books, the
people disbelieved Him. Even up till now, the
Israelites are still expecting the arrival of Elijah.
Their hearts were further hardened to enhance their
disbelief because of their ill will and evil intentions.
The same thing continues today. The people failed to
know that John the Baptist who was brought forth by
Elisabeth, was the Elijah who had come to herald the
coming of Jesus Christ (Matthew 11:14/ Mark 9:11-
13). Herod ask the wise men to inform him after
seeing the new-born king so that he too could go and
worship him. If the wise men had gone back to
inform him, would Herod not have gone straight, or
sent soldiers, to kill Him? AS GOD HID THAT
KNOWLEDGE OF THE NEW KING FROM THAT
GENERATION, SO ALSO HAS HE HIDDEN THE
KNOWLEDGE OF THE IRON ROD RULER FROM THE
PRESENT GENERATION.
He has said in John 14: 19 that, "Yet a little while
the world seeth me no more; but ye see me; because
I live, ye shall live also." Therefore when you pray
God to reveal this mystery to the whole world, do
you imagine what eyes they would want to see this
kingdom with? THOSE WHOM HE DESIRES TO SEE
AND TO KNOW HIM HE HAS REVEALED HIMSELF
UNTO THEM. The worldly people are unbelievers and
they do not like the truth. If you want to pass
through a place where your enemies are, you have to
do so quietly. Equally, if you want to go and rob
somebody and you set off from your house with a bell
and a public address system, ringing and shouting as
you walk ahead, before ever you reach your
destination, information shall have reached him and
he would appropriately get himself ready for you or
he would simply flee the house. He has come like a
thief to surprise and arrest all who do not believe in
Him and also resist His governance.
In any case, what concerns us today is the
revelation of the angel about the man-child and what
will happen. The angel did not say that He will
descend from the sky. The meaning of the passage is
that: AS HE CAME AS A MAN, IN LIKE MANNER,
SHALL HE COME BACK. Man has eyes but cannot
see, has ears but cannot hear, and the mind but
cannot perceive. Their hearts have further been
hardened so that they would continue in their
ignorance. EVEN AS THE MESSIAH WAS BROUGHT
FORTH BY A WOMAN, SO ALSO SHALL THE ONE
WHO WILL RULE THE WORLD WITH A ROD OF IRON
BE BROUGHT FORTH BY A WOMAN. ALL POWER,
AUTHORITY AND GLORY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH
HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO HIM. IF THEREFORE YOU SAY
YOU CANNOT WORSHIP MAN, BUT YOU PREFER TO
WORSHIP STONES, TREES, WATER, LEAF, OR SAND,
HAS GOD EVER GIVEN HIS POWER TO THESE
ELEMENTS AS HE GAVE MAN?
This thing is not revealed to you so that you will go
and preach to unbelievers. It is revealed to you in the
first place as one who has been called in here to
share in the marriage feast and also so that you will
gird up your loins. The disciples of Our Lord Jesus
Christ asked Him why He spoke to other people in
parables, but spoke to them, the disciples, in plain
language? He told them it been written that he who
has little, the same will be taken away from him and
added to that of the person who has much. (Matt
25:29).God has further blinded the eyes and blocked
the ears of those who doubt and disbelieve so that
they will not see and hear. He has also hardened
their hearts that they may not believe. But He has
opened the eyes and ears of those who are His
children and broadened their minds to understand
His injunctions and obey and to behold his glory.

I DID NOT COME IN THIS ADVENT TO SEE

I have earlier told you that any claim of going to see the
Holy Father is wrong and merely induces cynical amusement
within me as that does not arise at all in this Kingdom of
God. I did not come in this advent to see people. THE
SCRIPTURE HINTS THAT BLESSED IS HE WHO BELIEVES
WITHOUT SEEING AND IF YOU BELIEVE GOD, YOU WILL
KEEP YOUR PHYSICAL DISTANCE AND AVOID THE IDLE
CURIOSITY OF GOING TO HOVER AROUND TO SEE HIM,
HOLD CONVERSATION WITH HIM, ETC. If you are imbued
with the fear of God, you will keep a clear distance and you
will not dare venture towards God. I insist that you fear
God. Thousands who fear God are now everywhere .You
cannot venture towards the Most High God no matter the
billions you are bringing Him. God takes no delight in your
worldly position, possessions, power, including other
appurtenances, but the belief and fear you accord Him and
the reverential fear due to Him.

ARE YOU A LIAR?
Golden Text: Galatians 2:14
"But when I saw that they worked not uprightly
according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter
before them all, if thou, being a Jew, livest after the
manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why
compellest thou the Gentiles to live as the Jews?"
Do you realize that the philosophical overtone of
what has been read to you! It is said, "If thou, being
a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as
do the Jews, why compellest the Gentiles to live as
do the Jews?" In the same vein, if you claim to be a
Brotherhood, you know that. Brotherhood neither
indulges in the preparation of concoction nor
commits fornication, nor quarrels, but you as a
Brotherhood member are still quarrelling, become
exasperated, indulge in the preparation of
concoction, tell lies, where lies the wisdom which
you teach the people of the world to refrain from
quarrelling, anger, and other evil acts?
Brotherhood subsumes righteousness
You visit hotels and there is a Brotherhood member
there. You attend disco jamborees and there is a
Brotherhood person there wearing long hats. A
Brotherhood still institutes court action against
people, quarrels, fights and commits other atrocities.
But he goes about preaching the kingdom of God to
people to forsake sin. You want the people to refrain
from committing acts of sin but you are neck-deep in
sinfulness. What is the wisdom to toe such a line?
Practise what you preach
You profess that there exists no concoction or juju,
that people should not go to hospitals for treatment,
that people should not be administered with
injections, but tomorrow you are found in a hospital
to the surprise of those you had preached that such
a tendency is bad. Why did you preach to them to
forsake receiving medical treatment? That is the
‘why’ you are baptized as deceivers. And that is the
reason you shrink into your shells when you find
people go for treatments in hospitals. Consider Paul
as a case in point. He suffered from ‘infirmity of the
flesh’ but because he had preached to people
against receiving treatment from hospitals, he was
reluctant to go for a surgical operation. And
therefore he died with this ‘infirmity of the flesh.’
The word of God is not an easy task. If you say that
somebody should not tell lies, it is incumbent on you
not to tell lies. If you say that somebody should not
steal, why do you indulge in theft? If you show such
a behavioural pattern, it means that you are
baseless. Do you realize the intricacies involved in
practicing the word of God? Peter who had been with
our Lord Jesus Christ went and ate things sacrificed
unto idols. By so doing, the other Jews dissembled
likewise with his in so much that Barnabas also was
carried away with their dissimulation.
Be doers of the word and not hearers only
Paul who was not privileged to be in company of our
Lord Jesus Christ in the flesh did not fail to
reprimand Peter, 'But when I saw that they walked
not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I
said unto Peter before them all, ‘If thou, being a Jew,
livest after the manner of the Gentiles, and not as do
the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live
as do the Jews?" It is neither the hearers of the
word, nor the preachers of the word who shall be
saved, but all those who practise the word of God
shall have salvation. YOU ARE TAUGHT THAT
BROTHERHOOD NEITHER KEEPS MOURNING
HOUSES, NOR HOLDS MEMORIAL SERVICES, NOR
CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS. ALL THINGS ARE THE
SAME BUT WHY DO YOU ATTEND 'MEMORIAL
SERVICES, KEEP MOURNING HOUSES, AND COMMIT
OTHER EVIL THINGS, ARE YOU A LIAR? That is why
people speculate that you in Brotherhood have not
seen God as a truth. That explains why your
brothers, sisters friends refuse to follow you into
Brotherhood. For that construes that you are fooling
around and that you are yet to come by the truth.
If You Refrain from Sins Many Will Follow You
If you had realized this truth, you would throw away
all juju and diabolical things, you would forsake
fornication, drinking and all the abominable life
patterns you were wallowing in hitherto, and would
have declared, to follow God in the correct
perspective. You then preach that people should
follow God and it is a truism they are bound to tow
that line. You will realize a massive following
because the people will come to the realization that
you have refrained forthwith from committing
fornication, ladies will come to you only to see you
turn them down. Men will come to you to offer kick-
backs and you reject their offers. With the turn of
events, people are bound to believe in you.'
What I am preaching regarding reproving people of
their wrong doings is what I intend to take up with
the Archbishops, Reverends, and others who claim to
be the first established church denomination. It is
true that they were the first to come to such a
knowledge, but what I am interested in is why they
still drink, commit fornication, and snuff. What have
they been preaching to the people? That is the
argument which disgraces them. And I back my
assertions with appropriate quotations from the Holy
Scriptures. They claim to be the first to have people
to forsake sins when they are swimming in the ocean
of sinfulness?
Preach the Word of God, Rebuke, Reprove, Exhort,
Advise and Admonish
Brethren, God is not respecter of persons. When Paul
heard that Peter was eating things sacrificed unto
idols which caused the other Jews dissembled
likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was
carried away with their dissimulation, he went and
reprimanded him and others for not walking uprightly
according to the truth of the gospel." You have the
right to reprove any person or any church
denomination in the whole world if they do not follow
the truth of the gospel. That is our work.
LOOK AT THE CHERUBIM AND SERAPHIM CHURCH,
THEY ARE NOW WEARING WHITE BECAUSE THEY
REGARD THE FATHER AS THEIR LEADER. And that is
what is expected of all church denominations in the
whole world. Gradually, these denominations will be
transformed into the true Brotherhood. What have
you been doing when you go to them? Have you not
been reproving them for carrying amulets on their
bodies?
The Leader is No Respecter of Any Person
They claim that the Leader is no respecter of
anybody. A former governor once came here. And I
asked him why he should call himself a governor and
yet he had no wife in the house but rather flirts
about. I made this remark openly to him because I
was interested in his salvation. No matter the station
of any person in life whether he is a governor,
president or whatever his position, it is your bounden
duty to reprove and rebuke them once he derails
from the path of rectitude. But in your own case, you
always feign shy in the presence of such persons.
This is precisely what is expected of you in doing
God’s work. Your reproving them does not flood
away their highly esteemed positions. RATHER, IT
ENSURES THAT ALL PERSONS WALK ACCORDING
TO THE TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
THIS IS THE HUB AROUND WHICH MY PROBLEM
WITH ALL OF YOU TURNS.
Brethren, you can then realize that the work is yet to
start. So long as you still persist in sinfulness, what
will you preach to others? You go about telling
people that you want to offer them prayers, calling
on God to send down His power. THE PERSON
HIMSELF CAN PRAY. BUT IT IS YOUR PLACE TO
SHOW HIM THE WRONGS HE HAS BEEN
COMMITTING. Can one fetch water with a basket? If
a hole is made in this house and you are required to
fill the house with water, will you be able to fill it?
Till dooms-day, the house will not be filled with
water. Because as you pour in water, it will run out
into the ground via the hole. The same holds true
with the person who is a fornicator. You will anoint
him with oil, beat him thrice on the head and pray
over him. But all this spiritual work will be to no avail
because of his continued indulgence in fornication.
The Aim of Brotherhood
A necromancer is also in the same shoes. You will
anoint him with oil, give him the Holy Water to drink
and pray God to send down His power on him. All
your efforts will prove abortive if you do not first tell
him to do away with all his diabolical materials, to
refrain from fornication and to stop drinking. The
moment he forsakes such evil tendencies, you have
saved his soul. You can realize that what is the
problem of all the inhabitants of the world is their
reluctance to wash their hands off committing evil
acts. That is why we are looking for land to build our
own Brotherhood world where only righteousness
will dwell, and where we will live according to the
will of God. WE DO NOT WANT TO POUR LIBATION
FOR WE HAVE NO OTHER GOD THAN THE WORD OF
GOD, TO PRACTISE THE WORD OF GOD IN ITS
CORRECT PERSPECTIVE. THAT IS THE AIM OF
BROTHERHOOD.
In all the church denominations, Bishops, Reverends,
Pastors, Apostles, Prophets, Elders do give the Holy
Bible to people to swear. Why should they swear to
an oath? For our Lord Jesus Christ had said, "But
above all things, my brethren swear not, neither by
heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other
oath: But let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest
ye fall into condemnation." Is the Holy Bible meant
to be sworn to or to be read?
I am patiently waiting for the established church
denominations, the famous theologians, the great
scientists to come and let us settle down to discuss
the scriptures. OURS IS REGARDED AS A NEWLY
BORN BABY CHILD. AND I ACCEPT THAT POSITION.
WHAT PLEASES ME IS THAT AT NO POINT IN TIME
HAS ANY PERSON SUCCEEDED TO OUTWIT THE
FATHER. RATHER, THE FATHER HAS ALWAYS
DEFEATED THE SO-CALLED INTELLECTUALS,
PROFESSORS, HIGHLY-PLACED AND OTHER
ESTEEMED PERSONS TO THE SOCIETY.
Whatever you are, I will stop at nothing to reprove
you. Notwithstanding your string of degrees, they do
not hold any importance before me. But I will rebuke
and reprove you for committing any evil act. I will
question why you are not baptized when you profess
to be a Bishop, Professor or a person of high status
in life. And they will prostrate on the ground
accepting their foolishness. How I wish that the son
should resemble his father. Unfortunately this has
proved incongruous. But we have only one
commandment. It is said, "They that are whole need
not a physician; but they that are sick." That is what
is holding in this kingdom. It is for this reason that
our Lord Jesus Christ had said, "No man can come to
me, except the Father which hath sent me draws
him: and I will raise him up at the last day." This is
what I am waiting for.
Brethren, I do not intend to be tedious unto you. It is
said that one stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the
wise. Those who have ears, let them hear. May God
bless His holy words, Amen.

Excerpt from the gospel: REBUKE BEFORE ALL
……………………………………………………………………………
GOD USES THE BASE THINGS OF THIS LIFE TO
CONFOUND THE WISEDOM OF THE WISE:
GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 16:7
Nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you I go
away,
The Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart I will
send him unto you.
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS IMPORTANT:
The above statement is worthy of consideration. The
statement does not mean journey to another land. By going
away, Christ was indirectly referring to his death. The
question is, if he had not gone away, would the Comforter
come? Now, if the Comforter had not come into the world,
what would have been the position of the world today?
Man’s invention and postulation have not brought any
salvation to the world. The Holy Spirit has come to unite the
whole world, and to bring about one language, one system of
government, one currency and one spirit. He is sufficient
onto all, and there shall be no color, or age distinction.
As he saith in Hosea, I will call them my people, which were
not my people;
And her beloved, which was not beloved. (Romans 9:25).
God also promised to use the base things of the world to
disgrace the wise. It is his pleasure to manifest his promise
upon the lowly-placed. He would not use the educated, or
the rich so that they will not consider obtaining the Holy
Spirit and his power on merits, or on the basis of their
education or wealth. No parents who is well-to-do and
educated, would allow their child to perform the “menial”
jobs of the Holy Spirit. As a result of this, God decided to use
the illiterate, the poor and the sick, to fulfill his will. For
example, if Christ were born to Pharaoh, or Pontius Pilate, or
Caesar, or any of the Emperors and Kings, would they have
allowed him to do God’s work? Therefore, for the fulfillment
of God’s will the Lord was born into an unknown poor and
priestly family. If God made it so for the good of mankind,
what is bad about that?
Many people who are able to bring about wonderful works,
are the have-nots and the destitute. This is indeed a lucky
generation; because Christ has promised that this
generation will not pass away until his promises come to
pass. Have his promises not been coming to pass one after
the other? Stop condemning any person or situation. All
events occur by God’s arrangement. Before Esau and Jacob
were born, it was prophesied that the eldest shall serve the
youngest. Esau did his utmost to maintain his position as the
first born, but lost it to Jacob. That was the handiwork of
God. Therefore, do not try to use your power or knowledge
to change God’s plans. IN HIS INFINITE WISDOM AND
POWER, GOD WILL AT THE END TURN THE WORLD AROUND
AND BIND ALL RACES TOGETHER.
Africa is richly blessed and loved by God. The whites have
read the handiwork on the wall and have discovered that
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is the only place where
God could be worshipped in Spirit and in truth. A few
Reverend gentlemen from Europe who came to Africa to
make the discovery went back and advised their
congregation. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is open to
all. Here, we practice oneness, irrespective of one’s
position, color sex, or ability to practice the gospel.
The whites, nonetheless, have a long way to go as regards
to the practice of the gospel. Their arrogance which stem
out of their wealth and civilization, had denied them God’s
wisdom and power. The blacks should however, not sieze
this privilege to despise or challenge the whites because it
is not of anybody’s making. We should only praise God and
thank him for his wonderful works. A word is enough for the
wise, may God bless his Holy words. Amen!

*WARFARE: RIGHT FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL THE
PEOPLE WHO WAGED WAR AGAINST GOD ARE
THOSE WHO PROFESS TO KNOW HIM.
Let our second lesson be read. I KNOW THE T.V.
WILL DIVIDE THIS GOSPEL INTO SECTIONS
BECAUSE WHEN THEY GET TO TOPICS WHICH
CONVICT THEM HARD, THERE HAS TO BE
ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE AND SUBSEQUENT
BREAK IN TRANSMISSION OF THE BROADCAST. BUT
IF IT IS A SATANIC PROGRAM, THEY WILL SHOW IT
TILL THE END WITHOUT ANY TRANSMISSION
INTERRUPTION.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: LUKE 17: 25 But first must
he suffer many things, and be rejected of this
generation. Whom was this written about? To whom
does this prophecy refer? It is said that first he must
suffer many things and be rejected of this
generation; this generation must reject him.
Did they not say that it was Moses they knew? But
as for that man he was from the devil and no person
should listen to him. The whole world is shouting
Jesus, Jesus, but did they not reject Him? Did your
fathers and mothers not reject Him? Today who can
show me one disciple of Our Lord Jesus Christ? Who
among you keeps His commandments? Bring that
person before me. When Lazarus was sick, his
sisters went and told Christ that the friend whom he
loved was sick. And he answered them and said:
“This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of
God, that the Son of man might be glorified.” And he
went about his own business. After about four days,
He said to His disciples, “Our friend Lazarus is
asleep; let us go that I may awake him out of sleep.”
Then said the disciples, Lord if he sleeps, he shall
wake up. He then told them plainly that Lazarus had
died; nevertheless let us go and raise him. (John
11:14-15)
Peter was excited because that was the sort of thing
he was waiting to see. And they asked Him: “Master
the Jews of late sought to stone thee, and do you
want to go there again?(John 11:7-8) Jesus never
went out openly to declare He was the Christ. He
went in the company of His disciples, and they all
wore the same garments so that He may not be
identified. When He healed any sick person, He
would warn him not to tell anyone. That is the
rejected stone. HE IS THE ALMIGHTY GOD, THE
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS WHO CAME TO
SAVE YOU THIEVES AND SINNERS BUT YOU
REJECTED HIM. PUT YOURSELVES INTO FERVENT
PRAYERS. I do not want to go far into that but you
know what happened when He raised Lazarus from
death. The whole city was in an uproar. Then
gathered the Chief Priest and the Pharisees and said:
“If we let this continue like this, all men would
believe in him: and the Romans shall come and take
away both our place and nation. Caiaphas stood up
as the high priest and said: Ye know nothing at all,
nor consider that it is expedient for us that one man
should die for the people, and that the whole nation
perish not.” Because he raised Lazarus and healed
the sick, the blind, the lame and the deaf, because
he cleansed lepers, fed the poor and did every good
thing, they said that He must die. Can you see how
the world thanked God for coming to save them? He
would first suffer many things and be rejected of this
generation and that was exactly the situation with
Him. IT WAS NOT THE GOVERNMENT THAT
KILLED OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. IT WAS NOT THE
JUJU PRIESTS WHO CLAIMED TO KNOW THE REAL
GOD BETTER THAN ALL OTHERS. IT WAS NOT THE
ROMANS WHO KILLED HIM; THAT WAS WHY PILATE
ASKED HIM: “AM I A JEW? WAS IT NOT YOUR OWN
PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT YOU HERE? WHAT HAVE
YOU DONE?” TODAY THE SAME THING IS
HAPPENING: THE CHURCHES WHO CLAIM TO KNOW
GOD BETTER ARE THOSE WHO ARE CONSPIRING
AND ASKING WHAT THEY ARE TO DO WITH THIS
MAN BECAUSE HE IS STILL PERFORMING WONDERS.
WHEN PILATE HAD EXAMINED HIM, HE COULD FIND
NO FAULT IN HIM.
Barabbas was a murderer and at every festival a
criminal had to be freed. Pilate asked which of the
two he should release unto them, Barabbas or
Jesus? They answered that he should release
Barabbas to them and crucify Jesus. They sought for
the release of Barabbas even though every person
knew that he was a murderer, a thief, and an evil
doer; they demanded that Jesus should be killed.
And Pilate asked them: What has He done? But they
said crucify him. Can you see that? It is said that
first he must suffer many things and this generation
will reject Him. Because of giving sight to the blind
and healing the sick, the Chief Priest and the
Pharisees, those who claimed they had seen God
face to face, said they knew Abraham and Moses and
NOT Jesus. Those were the people who said that He
should be crucified because He was a sinner.
THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT MAKE TROUBLE,
THEY SEEK PEACE. RIGHT FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL
THE PEOPLE WHO WAGED WAR AGAINST GOD ARE
THOSE WHO PROFESS TO KNOW HIM. AND SO IT
WAS WITH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. PILATE TRIED
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO RELEASE HIM BUT THE
JEWS INSISTED ON HAVING HIM KILLED. PILATE
SET UP OVER HIS HEAD HIS ACCUSATION WRITTEN:
THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS. THEN SAID
THE CHIEF PRIEST OF THE JEWS TO PILATE, WRITE
NOT THE KING OF THE JEWS, BUT THAT HE SAID I
AM KING OF THE JEWS. PILATE ANSWERED AND
SAID, “WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN, I HAVE WRITTEN.”
Brethren, have you assessed the situation properly.
That is why he said, “Why do you call me Lord, Lord
but you do not the things I command you?” He knew
that there was not one single person who believed in
Him. The work of God is not subject to any person’s
decision. It is either you shoot the gun and split the
barrel rather than lose the prey. There was not one
person who believed in Our Lord Jesus Christ. If
there is such a person, mention him. If you want to
mention Peter, I will remind you that he was the first
person to deny Our Lord Jesus Christ.

THE TRUTH HAS COME TO STAY
That is why Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is
called Christ Universal Spiritual School of Practical
Christianity. Nothing is added or subtracted and
there is no studying but a practical demonstration of
the truth of things. As God has rightly said, any
person who adds any word to His word of prophesy
will have all the afflictions in the Bible and will have
his name removed from the book of life. Here in
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star nobody adds and
subtracts and this is why our Lord Jesus Christ said
that the Comforter will reveal to you all the truth. It
is wrong to say that Leader O.O. Obu said this or
that, but say that our Lord Jesus Christ said it. That
is why when people read through our publications,
they would tell you that the Leader has confirmed
that He is not Christ and now what are you talking
about? It is Christ that had said, continues to say
and will say everything forever.
The Passover will be prepared and eaten tonight and
as soon as you eat it, you have taken on yourself the
sins of the world, and you will surrender your lives as
ransom for the salvation of the world as our Lord
Jesus did. That is why on Wednesday we have the
Bible Class, Watch And Pray till 3 a.m. At 6 a.m. on
Thursday starts the fasting depicting the time He
was sentenced to death and later nailed to the
Cross at 9 am. We have no other work to do but to
unveil the events of that day to those who were not
there. You may have been there when this event
happened and that is why it is always said that we of
the olden times have come back again.(John 15:26-

BIBLE BASED TEACHINGS:
ALL THE THINGS I TELL YOU ARE WHAT YOU WILL
FIND STATED IN THE BIBLE
1st Lesson: 1 Timothy 5:20
"Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also
may fear."
How many of you here practise that portion of the
Bible read to you? Some people are fornicating,
some are stealing. Who has ever rebuked another?
Some are quarrelling and some are fighting. Who is
there to advise the other person not to do so?
Rebuke, But Do Not Hate
I have taught you everything about this Kingdom.
The knowledge you have acquired should equip you
with the ability to rebuke a person whose behaviour
does not reflect the teachings of this Kingdom. You
have the full right to rebuke any person. This is not
to suggest that you should abuse him, or beat him or
keep mute with him. You are instead told to rebuke
him, and show him where he had gone wrong.
If you go through First Step To God alone, you will
know what we are saying. Like you have been told of
how that Pastor goes about with a ring, it is quite
true that many are still putting on rings. But these
rings have no powers. These things bring ill-luck,
death, and suffering to them. You will hear them
complain, that they have been to Brotherhood but
they are still beset with problems. The fact is that
they are still drinking, consulting oracles, preparing
concoction, taking court action against people and
because of these they still suffer. I have no concern
in what they do because those who assimilate this
Gospel, angels and men alike abiding by the
provisions of the First Step, are doing the work.
Brotherhood Spreads Like Wild Fire
There is money, wealth, and employment
opportunities here but we are looking for truthful
persons. The Kingdom of God is all joy, love, peace,
patience, mercy, truth, temperance and meekness.
There is no sinfulness in it, neither can it enter in.
Brotherhood is not affiliated to any organization or
person. It stands all alone. It is the Kingdom of God.
It is quite another Kingdom altogether. It exists
forever. You will notice that as the years pass by,
Brotherhood expands. A time will come when the
whole world will be enveloped. As the years pass by,
so does it expand with leaps and bounds.
It is for us to teach this love to those in the world.
Teach this patience to our brethren here who
continue to quarrel, show them their mistakes.
Those who continue to beat up their children, and
tell lies and commit any sin; show them their
mistakes, for their own good. If you continue to sin,
you will he driven out of the Kingdom not by any
human being but by angels.
Rebuke Whoever Sins
Brethren, from now on, whether you are a
Deaconess, or a Prophet, or a Pastor or whatever you
are, rebuke yourself if you do not practise the Gospel
of God. Rebuke your child, and your husband if they
do not practise this word of God. Without causing
any quarrel, point out their mistakes. If they do not
accept, leave them to their ways. WE DO NOT COME
HERE TO ACT ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTIVES OF
OUR SPIRITS. WE DO NOT COME HERE TO PLEASE
OURSELVES. It is for you to practise the Gospel
given to you here because angels are taking down all
that is delivered. What matters is for you to comply
implicitly with what you are taught without adding
nor subtracting anything.
Always Walk Circumspectly
The world is bamboozled at the situation of things in
the world. The children of God have no cause for
alarm because it is said the wages of sin, i.e. lies,
stealing, charms, animosity, fornication, murder, and
so forth, is death, wretchedness, war, and this
suffering is meant for all the inhabitants of the world.
Do not carry the property of any person without the
owner’s consent, be it your husband, your wife, your
child, your brother or sister, or your friend. Do not
take anything except it is given to you by the owner,
if you do, then, it means you are a thief. Do not
murmur against any person. Do not impute sins on a
person like you. The only thing you have to do is that
whoever does not follow the teachings you have
received here, show him his mistakes so that
everybody will see the light and those who had
derailed with him may turn back to the path of
rectitude.
The Wages of Sin Is Death
There is no day I have spoken my own words. All the
things I tell you are what you will find stated in the
Bible which God tells us to practice the word of God.
I have never told you that I say one thing or the
other. What brings death is fornication. What brings
death is idolatry. What brings death is stealing and
telling of lies. It is said, "Thou shalt have no other
gods before me. THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO
THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE, OR ANY LIKENESS OF
ANY THING THAT IS IN THE EARTH BENEATH, OR
THAT IS IN THE WATER UNDER THE EARTH. THOU
SHALT NOT BOW DOWN THYSELF TO THEM, NOR
SERVE THEM." WHEN YOU CONSULT ORACLES AND
SORCERERS, SWEAR BY YOUR BODIES, AND
PRACTISE THEIR INSTRUCTIONS, YOU ONLY
INVOKE THE WRATH OF GOD UPON YOURSELVES.
Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not
fornicate. A man should only take to one woman. But
when you indulge in fornication or adultery, you have
put yourself into a very serious trouble which
attracts death, sickness, wretchedness and
tribulations to you.
The Origin Of Sin
WHAT YOU HAVE NOW IS THE REVISION OF THE
LESSONS TAUGHT YOU RIGHT FROM THE TIME OF
ADAM. THIS REVISION BECOMES NECESSARY SINCE
AT THIS END OF TIME AND THE FINAL
EXAMINATION IS IMMINENT. IT IS NECESSARY
THAT YOU BE REMINDED OF ALL THE THINGS
TAUGHT BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THE
PROPHETS' RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING. IT IS
TIME TO PUT THEM INTO PRACTICE. WHOEVER
DOES NOT PRACTISE THESE GOSPELS WILL BE
EXPELLED FROM THIS KINGDOM. HE WILL NOT BE
WORTHY OF IT AND CONSEQUENTLY WILL NOT
ENTER IN.
You should not seek for the advice of men. Adam and
Eve were commanded to eat of all the fruits of the
trees in the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil, they should not eat lest they would
die. Since they ate of the fruit of the tree, sin, death
and tribulation befell them. I HAVE NOT COME TO
PRAY FOR PEOPLE. I HAVE NOT COME TO PREACH
TO PEOPLE. I HAVE COME TO SIT DOWN TO WATCH
THE GLORY OF GOD. THE ANGELS ARE DOING
EVERYTHING. THE FATHER, SON AND THE HOLY
SPIRIT IS DOING EVERYTHING TO JUDGE THE
WORLD, TO ARRANGE EVERYTHING AND TO
BESTOW JOY.
I HAVE ONLY COME WITH JOY. BUT NOW YOU HAVE
CAUSED ME TO REPEAT EVERYTHING, PREACH
EVERY GOSPEL AND SHOW YOU ALL THINGS. I
HAVE DONE THESE OVER AND OVER AGAIN, BUT
YOU REMAIN ADAMANT. THE ONLY THING LEFT
NOW IS FOR ME TO LOCK THE DOOR. IN FUTURE IF
YOU COME HERE, YOU WILL NO LONGER SEE ME.
THERE WILL BE NO MORE HOLY OIL OR WATER. NO
PRAYERS NOR SERMONS WILL BE GIVEN ANY
LONGER.
YOU CANNOT COMPARE MY WORK TO THE WORK
OF ANY OTHER PERSON IN THE WHOLE WORLD,
BECAUSE THIS IS A DIFFERENT WORLD
ALTOGETHER; IT IS A NEW WORLD. NONE OF YOU
KNOWS WHAT IS IN THIS KINGDOM. IT IS THE HOLY
SPIRIT ALONE WHO IS AT WORK.
You should prostrate on the ground, doing as you
are instructed; expressing love, not getting
exasperated, not becoming fastidious. That is all you
ought to do.
Launching Will be Proscribed
Right now, I am going to discontinue certain things.
The rate of launchings that are done will be reduced.
You do not have any kobo at home but you will want
to do launching. Does that not amount to borrowing
from Peter to pay Paul? In this kingdom, whoever on
whom God has bestowed any gifts, should use the
gifts judiciously in God’s service. If he refuses to
give to you, remain calm and do not disturb yourself
any longer. I have not yet exhibited my true colour. I
know the meaning of launching. It is self-help
venture, seeking for means of feeding yourself. It is
not a Brotherhood affair. The Scriptures say, "And
God hath set some in the 'church, first apostles,
secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that
miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, governments,
diversities of tongue." The Father had pre-arranged
everything according to needs. We have no need to
pray God to do this or that.
In respect of the New Jerusalem building, one
person has volunteered to build it without asking a
kobo from others. But others say he should not. They
have not done so themselves; and this year is
running past. Whom will you blame? I had
intentionally allowed you your way. I intend to use
my possessions at will but Satan says I should not.
At the same time, the thing is not done by him. Does
it mean the project will be left halfway? Within a
short time I am going to put an end to that insult. I
will soon tell that child of mine to go and construct
what he intended. You lack the ability and the
expression of love. Go and build it you would not, let
the owner do it his own way, you would not. When
people visit Biakpan, they will be scattered all over.
What is the sense of doing that?
Diversities of Gifts
I have said right from the beginning that this place is
not like secular set-ups. One person can volunteer
here and purchase an aeroplane for travelling.
Somebody can buy a shop or a train or a car or a
house for you. That is what exists in this Kingdom.
Nobody struggles for anything, launching here and
there, launching into your pockets and into other
placebo. That is not the case. The Father owns
everything. He does everything and gives people the
ability. There is division of labour according to gifts
of the Spirit. Some are cooks, and others engage in
other jobs. We have no problem and there is no
occasion of stumbling. This is the Kingdom of God.
Many people think that this place is a refugee camp;
that whoever lacks what to eat should come here for
food. That assertion is misconstrued. Here in this
Kingdom, all hands must be on deck. It is said, do
not feed the lazy, and eat no person’s food for
nothing. You are not here to lazy about. You must
have what to do. It is our tradition as recorded in the
Holy Book. That is the teaching here. The lazy one is
not fed and we do not eat any person’s food in vain.
Do Not Feed The Idle
This explains why we are looking for farm land, When
we acquire the plots, healing homes where people go
and hide claiming to be doing the Father’s work will
be depopulated. Tools will be provided for you to
work in the farm and at the end of the month you will
be given your wages. It is from there that you will
feed. All the useless things done in healing homes:
stealing and doing other abominable things will stop.
No lazy person will be fed. 2nd Thessalonians 3:6 –
15 makes it clear: Whoever is lazy, be he your child
or your husband or your mother should not be fed if
he refuses to work. Have no communion with him
and at the same time do not quarrel with him. It is a
grievous sin which you take lightly.
Brethren, the Holy Bible is the Ark of God’s
Covenant. I quote my authority from it. Before you
are driven away, I quote it from there. Whoever does
not hear and would not practise the Word of God, you
should have nothing to do with him. Send him out.
Brethren, let our second lesson be read.

Excerpt from: REBUKE BEFORE
……………………………………………………………………………………….
RULING BIG CITES LIKE CALABAR
ALWAYS BE ATTENTIVE TO THIS ONE SOURCE:
* VISIONS LIKE RULING BIG CITIES LIKE CALABAR DO NOT
BRING YOU SALVATION. YOU WANT GOD AND AT THE
SAME TIME THE WEAK AND TEMPORARY THINGS OF THIS
WORLD.
* Go to the orthodox churches and reveal this God to them.
Go and tell them what you have seen in the Leader. Tell
them of the great miracles of your Leader.
*Do not argue or dispute with anybody. Listen to the spirit
and if the spirit directs you to go to a place, do so, but if it is
at variance with Brotherhood of the Cross and Star
doctrines, do not believe it. Do not believe in anybody
Excepts what the Holy Spirit has told you.
The Scriptures say, he who feels he is wise should remain a
fool so that he may be wise. If you maintain this attitude, the
scales will fall from your eyes. It is no use asking angels or
men questions. All the Brotherhood publications are printed
for your own use. The moment you comply with one gospel
you are well. Do not believe in any man, but believe only in
God. Believe in the teachings written in the books. Believe
in God who created heaven and earth. Do not doubt the
contents whether you have been here for twenty years or
more, always be attentive to this one source. The teachings
of God are written in black and white. Publications like
"Brotherhood of Man," "Submit to your Rulers and "Flee from
Fornication." Once you believe, you are alright. VISIONS
LIKE RULING BIG CITIES LIKE CALABAR DO NOT BRING
YOU SALVATION. YOU WANT GOD AND AT THE SAME TIME
THE WEAK AND TEMPORARY THINGS OF THIS WORLD.
Nothing in this world gives you peace. Man gives problems.
Man cannot give you eternal life. Man is hating, persecuting,
fearing and condemning another man.
When the three wise men came to Herod, they did not know
the evil thoughts nursed by him. He said He would also go
and worship Our Lord Jesus Christ: Therefore the first and
foremost thing in this kingdom is to receive the teaching of
Our Father and put them into practice. You should forget
about trying to advise any person. THE WORD OF GOD YOU
HAVE RECEIVED HERE, YOU SHOULD ALSO USE IT TO
LIBERATE THOSE IN THE DARK. DO NOT COME HERE TO
LOOK FOR POSITIONS SUCH AS A PASTOR OR AN APOSTLE,
CAN YOU DO THE WORK? YOU HAVE BEEN PROMOTED SO
HIGH THAT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT OTHER POSITION TO
PROMOTE YOU. PAUL THE APOSTLE SAID "I HAVE TO
PRACTICE THE WORD OF GOD, SO THAT I AVOID A
SITUATION WHERE THOSE I PREACHED TO DO GET SAVED
AND I PERISH.
I do not see or hear evil. If you do not practice the word of
God, you cannot have peace. Some one who does not see
evil, what will you do with such a person. No temptation
comes my way, I see only joy, joy, joy. All the things you are
after are nothing at all. What you are lacking is the word of
God. But now you go to visioners in distant places, you do
not want to practice the word of God. You want to look
outside. All thee things happen because you want carnal
things.
GO AND TELL THEM WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN IN THE
LEADER:
In this kingdom of God you have been taught we are in a
certain category. You cannot compare a member here to the
people in the world. A sinner here is like Jesus Christ,
compared to the people in the world.
CHOOSE YOUR PARTNER AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.
IF YOU FIND YOUR WAY OF LIFE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE
OTHER PERSON’S WAY OF LIFE, LEAVE HIM AND FIND
SOMEONE WITH THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS WITH YOU
AND THE TWO OF YOU CAN MOVE TOGETHER. WE ARE NOT
A CHURCH DENOMINATION BUT WE ARE GODS IN HUMAN
FORM.(JOHN 10:34/PS82:6) GOD ALMIGHTY, OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST ARE ALL DWELLING IN YOU.
Go to the orthodox churches and reveal this God to them. Go
and tell them what you have seen in the Leader. Tell them of
the great miracles of your Leader. Do not argue or dispute
with anybody. Listen to the spirit and if the spirit directs you
to go to a place, do so, but if it is at variance with
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star doctrines, do not believe
it. Do not believe in anybody Excepts what the Holy Spirit
has told you.
HIS SUPERNATURAL TEACHINGS:
All the inhabitants of this world are one. Remember the
statement of our Lord Jesus Christ that: HOW GREAT IS THE
JOY IN HEAVEN OVER ONE SINNER WHO REPENTS THAN
OVER NINETY-NINE WHO HAVE ALREADY REPENTED.
CHANGING MAN IS THE ASSIGNMENT THE FATHER HAS
COME TO ACCOMPLISH. NOW WE HAVE TWO, THREE
PERSONS THAT IS WHY WE CAN SPEAK BOLDLY. I HAVE
COME TO GIVE YOU THE WORD OF GOD, TO CHANGE YOU
IN ORDER FOR YOU TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
There is money, wealth, but where are the truthful persons
in this world? That is why I keep, preaching daily. Now we
have so many persons who have changed. It is a
supernatural Teacher that has a way of teaching you. You
should not look upon the ordinary teachers of the world but
practice love one another. BUY THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE
CROSS AND STAR PAMPHLETS, AND BELIEVE FIRMLY IN
WHAT IS WRITTEN THEREIN. PRACTICE ALL THE WORDS OF
THE FATHER, THE CONTENTS WILL BE TRANSLATED INTO
MANY LANGUAGES. YOU ARE TAUGHT PEACE, TRUTH,
LOVE, HUMILITY ETC. YOU ARE HARMING YOURSELF IF
YOU FAIL TO PRACTICE THESE VIRTUES WHEREVER YOU
GO.

*MANY OF YOU THINK WHEN YOU COME HERE
AND SING THAT “0. 0. 0. IS GOD,” I WILL BE
HAPPY WITH YOU. OTHERS THINK IF YOU
TAKE MY PHOTOGRAPH, ENLARGE AND
FRAME IT SO WELL, AND KISS OR WORSHIP IT,
I WILL BE DELIGHTED. THIS IS ERRONEOUS.
THIS IS NOT WORSHIPING GOD IN SPIRIT AND
IN TRUTH. ALL GOD WANTS IS: HEARING AND
PUTTING HIS WORD INTO
PRACTICE, AND THAT IS, LOVING ONE
ANOTHER.
* The food for the Spiritual Council of Churches
and the whole world is the lesson just read to
you. I am happy that your hearts, eyes and
ears are wide open to receive this lesson; GOD
IS NOT A CAR, MONEY, HUMAN BEING, FISH,
HE IS NOT THUNDER, NEITHER RAIN NOR
SUN.
But GOD IS THE WORD AND THOSE WHO
WORSHIP HIM MUST DO SO BY PRACTICING
HIS WORD. ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE WORD OF
GOD AND PUT IT INTO PRACTICE.
* Any person who does what he likes, wants
his own glory, but if you do what you are sent
to do, you seek the glory of him that sent you.(
JOHN 5:30) . So if you want to worship God,
put His words into practice. Obey whatever He
tells you to do. FOR EXAMPLE: REFRAINING
FROM EATING FISH AND MEAT CERTAINLY
IMPLIES WORSHIPING GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN
TRUTH.
* WASHING OR BATHING IN THE BIAKPAN

* ALL THAT IS REQUIRED WAS PRACTICING
THE WORD OF GOD. THE FATHER IS NOT

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

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

……………………………………………………………………………
THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS
WHO IS TO JUDGE EVERY CREATURE IN
HEAVEN AND ON EARTH.
* THE FACT REMAINS THAT GOD HAS NEVER
REPEATED HIS OWN THING. IF SOMEBODY COMES
TO TELL YOU THAT HE IS CHRIST, LEAVE HIM
ALONE, AND PASS ON. CHRIST IS NOT COMING TO
WALK FROM PLACE TO PLACE. HE IS COMING AS
THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. WHERE
DOES HE HAVE TO MOVE TO? HE IS EVERYWHERE
AND IT IS EITHER YOU SEE HIM OR YOU DO NOT
SEE HIM.
GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 1: 11
He came unto his own, and his own received him
not.
To whom does this refer? Who is that person who
goes to his own but his own received him not? Do
you not argue that God is not man? But God said,
“LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR OWN IMAGE AFTER OUR
LIKENESS.” THE “US” REFERS TO THE FATHER, SON
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. But now you argue that God
is not man. Is he an animal or a rock? Is he an angel?
Answer me, you wise men. HE CAME IN HIS OWN
LIKENESS. HIS LIKENESS IS MAN. HE COMES AS A
MAN AND ON EVERY 25TH DAY OF DECEMBER
EVERYBODY EATS AND REJOICES THAT THE VIRGIN
MARY HAS GIVEN BIRTH TO A BABY BOY. BUT NO
PERSON BELIEVES IN HIM. And so the above
scripture refers to Our Lord Jesus Christ, He came in
the manger as a man. But did you receive Him? Who
received Him? If he did not fill the boat of Peter with
fishes, Peter would not have followed Him.
When He told His disciples how he must go to
Jerusalem and Chief Priest and Scribes, and be killed
and raised again on the third day, Peter took Him
aside and began to rebuke Him: This shall not be
unto thee. Peter said this because he had read that
Christ would not die, forever he will not die and so if
Jesus was going to face death now it would mean
that he, Peter, had made a mistake in following Him.
Can you say that he knew or understood Our Lord
Jesus Christ? That is one. Another thing is that all
that Jesus spoke to them in public when they were
alone, with Him, they would ask Him to explain to
them. At another time, Peter said: We have left
everything and followed you, what shall be our gain?
Does that question show that Peter believed in Him?
I can continue to cite instances to you to convince
you that no person believed in Him; but He can use
anything to manifest His own glory. THEY WERE
FOLLOWING HIM BECAUSE HE WILLED IT SO; IT
WAS NOT OUT OF THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF HIM THAT
THEY FOLLOWED HIM. TAKE THE CASE OF JOHN
THE BAPTIST WHO REVEALED HIM TO THE WHOLE
OF ISRAEL AS THE CHRIST; DID HE NOT DENY
CHRIST? Did he know Him? When he was put in
prison by Herod, he remembered that the scriptures
had said that when Christ came He would deliver the
captives and set at liberty those that are bruised and
so John consoled himself that Christ would come
and remove him from prison immediately. But as he
waited no person came; and so he sent two of his
disciples unto Christ to find out if He was the
expected one or they were to wait for another. Did
John believe in Him? Do not joke with the Word of
God.
When you hear that a great multitude followed Jesus
it was because of the bread and fish He used to feed
them with. There was no person who followed Him
with the conviction that He was God, or the Christ.
UNLESS HE INJECTS HIS SPIRIT INTO YOU SO THAT
YOU CAN PERCEIVE THIS TRUTH, YOU CANNOT
KNOW HIM. HE CAN ENTER INTO YOU IN A MOMENT
AND YOUR EYES WILL BECOME CLEAR AND HE WILL
IMMEDIATELY CLOSE IT UP. HE CHANGES INTO
ANOTHER FORM AND YOU WILL FALL BACK INTO
YOUR DOUBT. GOD IS TERRIBLY WONDERFUL.
Earthly things are used to illustrate heavenly things.
If he did not make bread for the people to eat who
would have listened to Him? His creature alone will
follow Him. You have heard what He said: NO MAN
KNOWS THE FATHER, EXCEPT HE SON, AND NO
MAN KNOWS THE SON, EXCEPT THE FATHER AND
TO WHOM HE WOULD REVEAL HIM. That is where
the whole thing hangs. JESUS CHRIST IS HERE WITH
THE FATHER. THEY ARE EATING AND WORKING
WITH YOU BUT CAN YOU SEE THEM? You cannot
see them, you do what you must do, as you have
always done. Because it is said: HE CAME UNTO HIS
OWN BUT HIS OWN RECEIVED HIM NOT. Did His
brothers receive Him? DID THEY NOT REJECT HIM?
JEHOVAH GOD AND HIS CHRIST IS THE REJECTED
STONE. BUT IS HE NOT THE RULER OF HEAVEN AND
EARTH? HE CONTROLS HELL AND HADES; HE
CONTROLS EVERYTHING. HE IS THE SON OF MAN
BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD. THE BLOOD IS MAN. HE IS
THE SON OF GOD BECAUSE OF THE WATER; AND
WATER IS GOD. SO HE IS GOD BECAUSE HE IS
SPIRIT. THAT WAS HIM BUT DID YOU KNOW HIM?
DID YOU RECEIVE HIM? TELL ME IF YOU KNEW
THAT WAS GOD WHO CAME TO SAVE YOU? THAT IS
WHAT IDENTIFIES HIM AS GOD.
On the cross He said: “FATHER INTO THY HANDS I
COMMEND MY SPIRIT.” IT MEANS THAT THE SPIRIT
IS THE FATHER, AND IF YOU HAVE THAT SPIRIT
YOU WILL RESURRECT. WHEN THE SOLDIERS
PIERCED HIS SIDE, THERE CAME OUT WATER AND
BLOOD FROM HIM, AND THAT WATER IS THE
CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD. THE BLOOD IS MAN, AND
SO HE WAS THE SON OF MAN, SON OF GOD AND
GOD HIMSELF. THAT WAS THE REASON JOHN WAS
TOLD TO BAPTIZE WITH WATER. THE WATER IS
CHRIST. AND CHRIST HIMSELF SAYS THAT EXCEPT
YOU ARE BORN OF WATER AND SPIRIT, YOU
CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD. THAT IS WHY
IT IS SAID THAT AS MANY AS HAVE BEEN BURIED
WITH HIM IN SPIRIT IN BAPTISM HAVE PUT ON
CHRIST. (Gal.3:27). YOU HAVE BEEN READING THE
BIBLE BUT HAVE YOU EVER HAD THIS REVELATION
GIVEN UNTO YOU NOW? AFTER BAPTISM HE
BESTOWS THE HOLY SPIRIT ON YOU AND YOU
THEN HAVE THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY
SPIRIT. EVERYTHING IS CONSUMMATED. HE IS THE
SON OF MAN, THE SON OF GOD AND HE IS HERE
RIGHT NOW BUT CAN YOU SEE HIM? DO YOU
BELIEVE IN HIM?
In the Book of Revelation 12:5 it is written that a
woman brought forth a man child who was to rule all
nations with a rod of iron. When hunting a strong or
large animal one needs an exceptionally matching
powerful bullet. Man is not a single creature and so
He has to rule all nations with a rod of iron. You
wonder why I always laugh when I say these things,
but why should I not laugh? I have to laugh. On that
fateful day, He told His disciples that they would all
deny Him and forsake Him. But Peter said that even
if all forsook Him, “I will never forsake you.” But
when the time came he was the first person to deny
Him. THIS WILL SHOW YOU THAT THIS ELECTION IS
EXTENDED TO US FREE OF CHARGE. IT IS NOT
BECAUSE OF YOUR GOODNESS OR YOUR
RIGHTEOUSNESS; IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF YOUR
FAITH OR YOUR DESIRE. BUT HE IS LOVE, HE IS
FAITH, HE IS TRUTH, AND EVERYTHING. HE CALLED
US OUT OF GRACE AND YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW HE
CALLED YOU. HE HAS CHOSEN TO GIVE THIS
KINGDOM TO THOSE HE LOVES.
What man loves, God does not love; and what God
loves man does not love. IT IS NOT THE PERSON
WHO COMMENDS HIMSELF THAT IS APPROVED BUT
IT IS THE PERSON WHO GOD COMMENDS THAT IS
APPROVED. The world does not receive Christ
neither do they know Him; they disgrace Him and
despise Him; BUT GOD HAS GIVEN HIM A NAME
WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY OTHER NAME, AS THE
RULER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH. AND THE VERY
PERSON THE WORLD HAS DISCLAIMED IS
APPOINTED BY GOD TO BE THE KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS WHO IS TO JUDGE EVERY
CREATURE IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH. SINCE GOD
HAS DECLARED HIM AS HIS BELOVED SON, YOU
CAN WEEP IF YOU WANT TO WEEP. IF YOU LIKE
YOU CAN REJOICE. YOU CLAIM THAT YOU DO NOT
KNOW HIM BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT HE IS
THE RULER IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH.
When Christ was killed, did Peter not go back to his
fishing? Our Lord Jesus Christ said that He would
resurrect on the third day; but since they did not
have the Spirit of God they did not hear Him. When
you do not have the Spirit of God, everything here is
like cinema. After you have heard and seen,
everything then passes away, and you cannot
remember them again. HE SAYS I HAVE COME IN MY
FATHER’S NAME AND YOU DO NOT RECEIVE ME BUT
WHEN ANOTHER SHALL COME IN HIS OWN NAME
YOU WILL RECEIVE HIM AND PROCLAIM HIM AS A
WONDERFUL MAN. Can you not see the coming of
another person and how you have rejoiced in Him?
Do you think that at this time He will again go about
calling people to follow Him? The time He came and
called people to follow Him who obeyed? This time
he is NOT asking you to come, He is using a rod of
iron to rule.
HE DOES NOT TELL YOU THAT HE IS JESUS OR
GOD, THAT IS CHILD’S PLAY. THE ROD OF IRON
SIGNIFIES HIS GLORY. THIS TIME HE IS COMING AS
A KING AND YOU KNOW THAT A KING DOES NOT
MOVE AROUND BECAUSE HIS WORKERS ARE
THERE. YOU ARGUE THAT WHEN HE CAME, HE
WENT FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE PRAYING FOR
PEOPLE AND WASHING THEIR FEET, BUT THAT IS
NOT WHAT HE IS COMING AGAIN TO PERFORM.
HIS CHILDREN ARE THERE TO DO THESE THINGS. IT
IS AN INSULT FOR HIM TO DO THAT KIND OF WORK
AGAIN.
YOU SAY THERE WAS POWER IN THOSE DAYS, -IN
JERUSALEM AND IN JERICHO, HE WENT ABOUT
DOING MIGHTY WORKS; AND THAT WAS CHILD
PLAY.
RIGHT NOW HE IS IN AMERICA, IN INDIA, AND
EVERYWHERE. HE IS INSIDE YOU, IN THE AIR, IN
THE WATER, IN THE SKY, AND EVERYWHERE MAN
HAS SET HIS FEET. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF SUCH
A PERSON. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF SUCH A
RULER? IT IS THE SAME PERSON YOU ARE
DENYING. YOU CLAIM THAT HE IS DEAD AND THAT
HE CANNOT RULE OVER YOU. BUT IT IS TOO LATE
BECAUSE HE HAS COME TO RULE HEAVEN AND
EARTH. ALL ANGELS, BLACKS AND WHITES AND
COLORED PEOPLE ARE ALL UNDER HIS RULERSHIP.
WHETHER YOU KNOW HIM OR NOT IS IRRELEVANT
BECAUSE HIS REIGN IS FOREVER AND EVER. HE
HAS NOT COME TO CLEANSE THE LEPERS AND
RAISE THE DEAD BUT HE HAS A LONG LEG.
HE PASSES THROUGH A THIEF AND RAISES THE
DEAD AND YOU WILL RUSH AND PROCLAIM THE
THIEF AS THE TRUE GOD; AND SO YOU FAIL. He can
use a murderer to raise the dead AND DIVIDE THE
SUN INTO TWO AND YOU WILL BE ASTONISHED, IT
IS THE SAME ONE. But you will rush to see wonders,
you will accept the murderer as the real Jesus. He
passes on and you cannot see Him and so you fail by
calling the murderer Jesus. WHEN YOU WANT TO
IDENTIFY HIM BY POWER AND MIRACLES YOU FAIL.
WHEN YOU BEGIN TO COMMEND A PERSON BEING
VERY POWERFUL, DO YOU KNOW THE SOURCE OF
THAT POWER? He has come to take dominion and
rulership. ALL ANGELS HAVE TO SERVE HIM.
BRETHREN, CAN YOU SEE THE STONE WHICH THE
BUILDERS REJECTED?
The church denomination says they are waiting for
Him but none keeps His injunction of love ye one
another which He left us. The Church leader will tell
you that he founded the church and that he raised
the dead and he is even greater than Jesus. Such
works are elementary. THIS TIME HE HAS COME TO
CHANGE MAN SO THAT WE CAN LIVE IN PEACE AND
LOVE AND JOY WITH ONE ANOTHER. RIGHT NOW
RAISING THE DEAD IS A CARNAL JOB. IF YOU
PRESS ON LOOKING FOR THIS TYPE OF SIGN YOU
PERISH. He says He will wipe off all tears from your
eyes; there will be no more death, nor sorrows, nor
mourning again. There will be no sickness nor pain
again. When there are no more sicknesses what are
you going to cure? That is what he has come to do,
but instead of you waiting for Him to do His work you
run to native doctors to have your problems solved.
Do you think God does not see you? You have failed.
HE IS TRUTH, HE IS PEACE, HE IS PATIENCE,
MERCY, HUMILITY, RIGHTEOUSNESS, SELF-
CONTROL, GLORY, JOY, AND ALL GOOD VIRTUES. It
does not involve only raising the dead and going
about from house to house. Go to any part of the
world if there is anywhere you can find these virtues
apart from in Him.
Healing, miracles, are the old style and they are still
operating on their own scale. It is the same old thing
which is regarded as new when they arrive in Africa.
And so all the signs and wonders are meant to
deceive the unbelievers. I do not want to say more
than this. I want everybody to get back home and
ponder over this statement. It is mental arithmetic
and you can either have the answer right or wrong.
THE FACT REMAINS THAT GOD HAS NEVER
REPEATED HIS OWN THING. IF SOMEBODY COMES
TO TELL YOU THAT HE IS CHRIST, LEAVE HIM
ALONE, AND PASS ON. CHRIST IS NOT COMING TO
WALK FROM PLACE TO PLACE. HE IS COMING AS
THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. WHERE
DOES HE HAVE TO MOVE TO? HE IS EVERYWHERE
AND IT IS EITHER YOU SEE HIM OR YOU DO NOT
SEE HIM. ANY KING WHO CARRIES HIS OWN CHAIR
IS NOT A KING. A KING HAS HIS CHAIR AND
THRONE AND EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR HIM.
Brethren I do not intend to take you further than
this. A stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise.
He who has ears let him hear. May the Lord bless His
Holy words, Amen. THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.

Golden Text: John 4: 24-26
"God is a spirit and they that worship him must
worship him in spirit and in truth. The woman said unto him,
I know the Messiah cometh, which is called Christ: when he
is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus said unto her, I that
speak unto thee I am He."
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS HERE:
Are we not led to the accurate knowledge of the truth?
Have you not realized now that God is a spirit? Do the
various church denominations know this? Instead of
imparting this knowledge to the adherents, they rather talk
about demons. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST DID NOT SAY
THAT ANOTHER PROPHET OR PASTOR SHALL COME, BUT
HE DECLARED THAT GOD SHALL COME BY HIMSELF. GOD IS
RIGHT IN YOUR MIDST TODAY. THUS ONCE YOU PURIFY
YOURSELF, HE WILL COME AND ABIDE WITH YOU FOREVER.
AS SOON AS THIS TAKES PLACE YOU ARE LEFT WITHOUT
PROBLEMS. WHETHER YOU PRAY OR NOT HE IS PRAYING
ON YOUR BEHALF AND YOU WILL GAIN ETERNAL LIFE.
WHEN PROPHET MOHAMMED WAS ABOUT TO DIE HIS
FOLLOWERS ASKED HIM TO TELL THEM THE ONE WHO
WILL TEACH THEM AND LEAD THEM TO THE ACCURATE
KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH. HE TOLD THEM THAT THE
KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH AND THE POWER TO SAVE
HIMSELF WAS NOT WITHIN HIS CONTROL. WITH THAT
UNFAVORABLE REPLY, THEY ASKED FURTHER WHAT THEY
SHOULD DO TO BE SAVED. HE TOLD THEM TO WAIT FOR
THE COMING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, THAT WHEN HE COMES
HE WOULD LEAD AND TEACH THEM.
This reveals how lucky this generation is. It is the fulfillment
of the prophecy at John 4:21-22, and it also reveals that GOD
IS DWELLING IN YOU, AND HE IS WITH YOU WHEREVER
YOU MAY BE. You should learn from the testimony of one of
our brothers (a lawyer) who said that when he was not
baptized, he was behaving as he liked, but since he came
into this fold, he found himself a changed man. THERE IS
NO NEED FOR YOU TO COME HERE AND DEMAND
ANY OTHER TEACHING BECAUSE GOD IS ALREADY
TEACHING YOU EVERYTHING. AND YOU ARE AS
FREE AS THE AIR.
NO ANGEL OR PROPHET IS CHARGED WITH THE
RESPONSIBILITY TO GUIDE YOU. THIS IS BECAUSE
THIS IS NOT THEIR TIME. THIS IS THE TIME FOR
THE GODHEAD TO RULE. HE GUIDES AND DOES
EVERYTHING FOR YOU. NOBODY AMONG THE PEOPLE
CAN GIVE YOU THE NEEDED SALVATION. THIS EXPLAINS
WHY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST SAID: "AND IN THAT DAY YE
ASK ME NOTHING. VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU
WHATSOEVER YE SHALL ASK THE FATHER IN MY NAME, HE
WILL GIVE IT YOU...FOR THE FATHER HIMSELF LOVETH
YOU, BECAUSE YE HAVE LOVED ME, HAVE BELIEVED THAT
I CAME OUT FROM GOD. (John 16:23-27).
In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, whatever you
ask I give it to you. YOU ARE ALL FREE AND
ALWAYS WITH THE FATHER BECAUSE HE DWELLS
IN YOU. You play pranks, tell lies to the Father while
He provides all your heart desires.
After the resurrection, Our Lord Jesus Christ told
Mary, "Touch me not; I am not yet ascended to my
Father; but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I
ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my
God, your God." (John 20:17).
The same thing is applicable here. The Father is not
only mine but He belongs to all of us. He is not only
my God but the God of all those who practice these
pieces of advice. Most of the people direct most of
their material gifts to the Father. Others claim that it
is only the Father who can do the works we witness
in BCS. We have but one Father and we are all
brethren. The activities of this fold are not those of
idol worshipers. The only thing expected of you is to
love one another; and once that is done, you are free.
You must have heard the testimony of a certain
medical doctor who said that he no more prescribes
orthodox medication for the cure of people's
sickness because they are not as potent as should
be the case any longer. He said that it is the name of
the Father alone that he uses to cure anybody that
comes to him. YOU CAN SEE THAT OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST CURED VARIOUS SICKNESSES
THROUGH THE SPOKEN WORD. WHY DO YOU TWO
OR MORE PERSONS PRAY FOR A SICK PERSON?
Like Our Lord Jesus Christ I am using the words to
do all that I do. Here you are told, "Go, for you now
have peace, no more sickness, no accident,” and the
same is fulfilled as declared. YOU ARE IN YOUR
FATHER'S HOUSE, AND HE DOES EVERYTHING FOR
YOU FREE OF CHARGE. GOD IS THE ONLY ONE
THAT RULES THE WHOLE WORLD.
Now you have no problem because you are so
polished that even when you are moving along the
street and somebody sees you, the power that
emanates from you is enough to take away that
person's problems. Right now when you come in
here, I do not pray for you but I will tell you to go for
all your problems are solved, and it happens just as I
said. I want you to also do the same. IF ALL OF YOU
SHOULD POSSESS THIS LOVE, YOU ARE WITH ME
ALWAYS, AND YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE WITH ME
FOREVER.
Beloved, it is said that a stroke of the cane is enough
for the wise. Let he who has ears hear what the Holy
Spirit has imparted to the world. May God bless His
holy words. Amen.
THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.

IN SEARCH OF CHRIST:
First Bible Lesson: Hebrews 7:24-26
"But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an
unchangeable priesthood. 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. For such a high
priest becomes us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled,
separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens."
Second Bible Lesson: Hebrews 1:6-9
"And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the
world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
And of the angels he saith, who maketh his angels spirits,
and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith,
Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: a septre of
righteousness is the septre of thy kingdom.Thou hast loved
righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy
God hath, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy
fellows."
Golden Text: Hebrews 13:7-8
"Remember them which have the rule over you, who have
spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow,
considering the end of their conversation. Jesus Christ the
same, yesterday, and today, and forever."
INTRODUCTORY SONG:
I AM THAT PERSON SAVED BY THE LORD.
DID CHRIST DIE?
When Our Lord Jesus Christ was in the world, and even
after His death and resurrection, no one understood His
ways. At times He appeared, may be, in the midst of two or
three persons, and before they knew it, He disappeared. He
appeared before Peter and the rest of them, and disappeared
in like manner. All these took place to confirm the local
adage which says cocoyam is cooked in accordance with its
specie. This is in consonance with the action of someone
who has missed his brother for a long time. Of course, he
will readily assume or even embrace any person who
resembles or bears any semblance of that brother. There is
a high probability that his assumption is right, especially
when the person presumed to be his brother begins to
exhibit some familiar actions, such as asking about the
family and other personal matters. IN LIKE MANNER SHALL
ALL BELIEVERS RECOGNIZE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ON
HIS SECOND COMING. ALREADY YOU HAVE HEARD THAT
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME YESTERDAY,
TODAY AND SHALL, FOREVER, REMAIN SO. Also the content
of our First Bible Lesson in Hebrews 7:24-26, has made Him
clear to us. So you have the duty of going home with today's
message and meditate over it.
I am only reminding you because if you recall the type of life
led by Our Lord Jesus Christ during His manifestation on
earth, and then compare it to what is now going on in the
world, you will only draw conclusions by yourself without
waiting for somebody else to reveal it to you. Even the First
Lesson has revealed that He is not dead even though people
claim that He is dead.
Peter was a very powerful disciple yet he argued that Our
Lord Jesus Christ would not die. That was when Our Lord
Jesus Christ informed them that He would die but resurrect
on the third day. Peter's argument was based on the fact the
fact that it is written from the beginning that Christ will not
taste of death forever. (Matt 16:21-24). So as human, when
he heard Christ pronounce that He would die, he became
confused and even doubted whether Jesus was the real
Christ or the Promised Messiah. Thus, Peter contemplated
within himself, "It was written that He will not die, and if it
happens that this very one will die it means he is not the
one. I have derailed from the right path and my soul shall not
be at peace."
What happened is that He died, and resurrected on the third
day. And the logic in the statement has to do with THE
TRANSFORMATION FROM THE FLESH TO THE SPIRIT. And
you could now hear what has been told us this day that He
lives forever. But all other churches believe and proclaim
that He is dead. The question is when did He die? Have they
not been seeing that portion in the scripture? Since you
continue to claim that Jesus Christ is beneath the earth, or
in the sky etc. have you not seen His work going on? Have
you ever seen the work of a dead man in the world going on
as smoothly as when he was alive? Once you die, all your
belongings are dead because the people you left behind will
misuse and mismanage them.
Who united the world? Recall that even when Our Lord Jesus
was born the world did not recognize Him but now has the
world not recognized Him? Many still do not believe in Him.
Here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star WE BELIEVE IN
CHRIST IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. SO WHENEVER YOU ARE
TALKING TO HIM, ADDRESS HIM AS IF HE IS FACING YOU
DIRECTLY AT THAT POINT IN TIME. WHENEVER YOU WANT
TO HAVE ANY DEALINGS WITH HIM, DO IT RIGHT AWAY
BECAUSE YOU HAVE SEEN HIM PHYSICALLY. DO NOT
FEAR.
Even now, He still appears at any time and any where He
likes. He is still healing the sick. That is why by singing
songs and rebuking the sickness, the sick get healed right.
This shows that He is the doer of all the activities carried on
here, the singing, dancing, praying etc. HE IS THE TEACHER
AND THE ADVISER.
If you doubt it, then I ask you, have you ever gone on any
workshop to train as a preacher? Have you ever gone to
India, America, Israel, or anywhere in the world to be trained
as a preacher? If no, then where did you acquire the wisdom
and truth with which most of you preach? Meanwhile, have
you ever seen a priest who is truthful? So He alone is
worthy, and He is the only Chief Priest. And forever He
remains the only Chief Priest, and none will ever emerge
again. SO YOU SHOULD NOT BE DECEIVED BY ANYBODY
WHO MAY RISE TOMORROW AND CLAIM TO BE THE CHIEF
PRIEST. FOR OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS TAKEN HIS
GLORIOUS THRONE, AND HIS GLORY HAS NEITHER
BEGINNING NOR AN END. HE IS THE GREAT TEACHER WHO
HAS TAKEN EVERYBODY TO HIS FATHER.
I have been telling you to stop gazing at the sky, imagining
His likeness. Have you not seen His likeness within you.
Even in your bedroom He is always conversing deeply with
you. In the past, many people did not see Him, talk less of
conversing with Him. But now you have seen Him, you do
not see Him while sailing on the river or flying in the sky
alone, but you see Him wherever you go. Then what is the
sense of doubting Him?

FALSEHOOD:
NAMES AND ROBES
THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE.
BEWARE OF FALSE GODS AND CHRISTS
Jesus said that there will be false Christs. Be on the
alert, because someone will come to you and say, I
am Jesus or Christ, and you will bow down to him.
Beware, he is not. Even if you were to see in a vision
Jehovah written on somebody's forehead, do not
worship him, he is not. That is why you are advised
to beware of NAMES so that you may not be led
astray; because someone will come to you saying
that he is the long expected one, when he is not.
Since the world's foundation, there has not been any
creature who has known the real name of God. What
Christ was able to reveal to us was that, He is a
Spirit and He is the Father. We accepted this
revelation of Christ. John further revealed God as
Love. CHRIST REVEALED HIMSELF AS THE WAY,
THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. THEREFORE DO NOT
FOLLOW AFTER ANY OTHER NAMES, BUT FOLLOW,
LOVE, TRUTH AND LIFE FOR THIS WILL GIVE YOU
SALVATION. DO NOT LOOK FOR NAMES ANYMORE
FOR THEY ARE DECEITFUL AND DETRIMENTAL.
If someone calls on you do not ask him what
denominations he belongs to or what position he
occupies in his Church, this brings inevitable rancor.
Do not be led astray by THE ROBES of Pastors,
Bishops, Reverends, Prophets, Popes, Evangelists or
Apostles. Have you not read of false Pastors,
Prophets, and Apostles. And what of this name
Christian? This name has depraved the entire world
today. All the troubles in the world, all the crimes
committed in the world today are committed by
those who say that they are Christians. Christendom
has failed. I say this because some of you, your
fathers are Pastors or Reverends. You are quite
aware of the ways they use these names. They use
these titles for dishonest gains.
But the name of God is wonderful. It is a Holy
Name that nobody knows. He has now come to rule
both the heavens and the earth and there is no one
in heaven and on earth who knows the secret name
that He is called by, except Himself. Since the
Scripture has told us that nobody else knows this
secret Name written or inscribed on His garment, it
is then futile for any person to waste his time
investigating or imagining what should be His name.
More so, there has never been a time that any part of
the Scriptures goes unfulfilled, because God's Word
must always come true. If this name were Christ, it
would present no difficulty for we all know Christ. If
it were to be Enoch, Moses, or John the Baptist,
there would be no trouble, but this is a secret name
that He alone knows.
In the world today, you would see many
Churches with different names, some are called
Church of Christ, Church of the Lord, Church of
Jehovah, what have they done? The use of these
names does not change these others that have
chosen to be called, Abasi, Chukwu, Chineke, Allah,
Olorun and other names but these names have no
effect on them. THEREFORE REMOVE YOUR MINDS
FROM NAMES; BUT LET US PURSUE TRUTH AND
LOVE WHICH SHALL LEAD US TO SALVATION. FOR
THERE IS NOBODY ON THIS EARTH WHO WILL
KNOW THAT NAME. IT IS A SECRET NAME KNOWN
ONLY BY THE ONE WHO HAS IT. Let us no more
waste our time in trying to presume what this name
may be, or try to work out the name in the way you
work out mathematics. It is a secret Name, do not
worry yourselves. For as the heaven is higher than
the earth so also the knowledge of God is higher
than the wisdom of mankind.(Isa 55:9).

AND HE WAS CLOTHED, WITH A VESTURE DIPPED IN
BLOOD: AND HIS NAME IS CALLED, THE WORD OF GOD.
REV. 19:12-13 states thus:
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many
crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but
he himself. And he was clothed, with a vesture dipped in
blood: and his name is called, THE WORD OF GOD.
The name of that man is THE WORD OF GOD and he puts on
a garment which is dipped in blood. IF HIS NAME IS THE
WORD OF GOD, WHAT DOES HE USE AS HIS IMPLEMENTS
OF WAR? HE USES THE WORDS OF GOD THEREFORE TO DO
HIS WORK.
You ask that holy oil should be used in your ears, eyes and
on every part of your body before praying because you do
not know yourself. But you should be aware that he uses the
Iron Rod to rule the nations. What is the Iron Rod? No person
can have anything unless it is given to him from above. That
is why many of you still doubt me, though you are shouting
the name of Olumba Olumba Obu. I have seen you very
clearly within and without.
He says, “All is well,” “Go I am in front and behind you, I
have given you a child,” and it happens just the way he says
it will.
DURING THE APRIL PENTECOSTAL IN THIS HALL, SEVERAL
PEOPLE MADE APPEALS TO ME BECAUSE SINCE
NOVEMBER LAST YEAR, THERE HAS BEEN NO RAIN. ON
THAT DAY, I COMMANDED THE HEAVENS TO OPEN AND
THERE WAS A HEAVY RAINFALL EVERYWHERE INCLUDING
IN LAGOS. I DID NOT PRAY OR CONTACT ANY ELEMENT
FOR IT. I AM NOT TELLING YOU THAT I AM THE MAN, BUT I
AM TELLING YOU EVERYTHING THAT WAS WRITTEN ABOUT
THE MAN.
If you see somebody with a gun or any other weapon saying
he is the one, know that he is not the one. If you see
somebody with a matchet, and he says he is the one, do not
believe him, he is not. If you see someone dashing out
money to people and saying that he is the one, know that he
is not the one. OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THIS PARTICULAR
MAN PROCEEDS A SHARP SWORD WITH WHICH TO SMITE
THE NATIONS.
SUPPOSING YOU SEE A PERSON WHO USES A GARMENT
DIPPED IN BLOOD AND ALSO USES A SHARP SWORD TO
CUT DOWN AND KILL PEOPLE, WOULD YOU STILL SAY
THAT SUCH IS THE PERSON? IT HAS BEEN EXPLAINED IN
CLEAR TERMS THAT HIS NAME IS THE WORD OF GOD. HE
USES NOTHING ELSE TO DO HIS WORK OTHER THAN THE
WORD OF GOD; HE DOES NOT USE MATCHET, GUN, OR
STICKS.
HE USES THE WORDS THAT PROCEED FROM HIS MOUTH. IF
HE USES ANY TYPE OF DRESS FOR HIS GARMENT, SUCH AS
PURPLE, YELLOW, GREEN ETC, WOULD THIS DEPICT THAT
HE IS THE ONE? IT IS STATED THAT THIS MAN WILL WEAR
A GARMENT DIPPED IN BLOOD. THE SIGNIFICANT THING
ABOUT THE WORD OF GOD IS THAT IF YOU ADD ANYTHING,
SOME HEAVY PUNISHMENT WILL BE ADDED TO YOU, AND
IF YOU SUBTRACT ANYTHING, YOUR NAME WILL BE
REMOVED FROM THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE. WHY DO YOU
STILL NOT UNDERSTAND THIS?

DECEPTION
ALL THE SIGNS AND WONDERS ARE MEANT TO DECEIVE
THE UNBELIEVERS.
WHEN YOU WANT TO IDENTIFY HIM BY POWER AND

* And so all the signs and wonders are meant to deceive the
unbelievers. I do not want to say more than this. I want
everybody to get back home and ponder over this statement.
It is mental arithmetic and you can either have the answer
right or wrong.
* HE IS TRUTH, HE IS PEACE, HE IS PATIENCE, MERCY,
HUMILITY, RIGHTEOUSNESS, SELF-CONTROL, GLORY, JOY,
AND ALL GOOD VIRTUES. It does not involve only raising the
dead and going about from house to house. Go to any part of
the world if there is anywhere you can find these virtues
apart from in Him.
*HE DOES NOT TELL YOU THAT HE IS JESUS OR GOD, THAT
IS CHILD’S PLAY. THE ROD OF IRON SIGNIFIES HIS GLORY.
THIS TIME HE IS COMING AS A KING AND YOU KNOW THAT
A KING DOES NOT MOVE AROUND BECAUSE HIS WORKERS
ARE THERE.
*YOU ARGUE THAT WHEN HE CAME, HE WENT FROM
HOUSE TO HOUSE PRAYING FOR PEOPLE AND WASHING
THEIR FEET, BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT HE IS COMING AGAIN
TO PERFORM.
HIS CHILDREN ARE THERE TO DO THESE THINGS. IT IS
AN INSULT FOR HIM TO DO THAT KIND OF WORK AGAIN
* THE FACT REMAINS THAT GOD HAS NEVER REPEATED
HIS OWN THING. IF SOMEBODY COMES TO TELL YOU THAT
HE IS CHRIST, LEAVE HIM ALONE, AND PASS ON. CHRIST IS
NOT COMING TO WALK FROM PLACE TO PLACE. HE IS
COMING AS THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
WHERE DOES HE HAVE TO MOVE TO?
*THIS TIME HE HAS COME TO CHANGE MAN SO THAT WE
CAN LIVE IN PEACE AND LOVE AND JOY WITH ONE
ANOTHER. RIGHT NOW RAISING THE DEAD IS A CARNAL
JOB. IF YOU PRESS ON LOOKING FOR THIS TYPE OF SIGN
YOU PERISH.
* HE PASSES THROUGH A THIEF AND RAISES THE DEAD
AND YOU WILL RUSH AND PROCLAIM THE THIEF AS THE
TRUE GOD; AND SO YOU FAIL. He can use a murderer to
raise the dead AND DIVIDE THE SUN INTO TWO AND YOU
WILL BE ASTONISHED, IT IS THE SAME ONE.
HE SAYS I HAVE COME IN MY FATHER’S NAME AND YOU DO
NOT RECEIVE ME BUT WHEN ANOTHER SHALL COME IN HIS
OWN NAME YOU WILL RECEIVE HIM AND PROCLAIM HIM AS
A WONDERFUL MAN. Can you not see the coming of another
person and how you have rejoiced in Him? Do you think that
at this time He will again go about calling people to follow
Him? The time He came and called people to follow Him who
obeyed? This time he is NOT asking you to come, He is using
a rod of iron to rule.
HE DOES NOT TELL YOU THAT HE IS JESUS OR GOD,
THAT IS CHILD’S PLAY. THE ROD OF IRON SIGNIFIES HIS
GLORY. THIS TIME HE IS COMING AS A KING AND YOU
KNOW THAT A KING DOES NOT MOVE AROUND BECAUSE
HIS WORKERS ARE THERE. YOU ARGUE THAT WHEN HE
CAME, HE WENT FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE PRAYING FOR
PEOPLE AND WASHING THEIR FEET, BUT THAT IS NOT
WHAT HE IS COMING AGAIN TO PERFORM.
HIS CHILDREN ARE THERE TO DO THESE THINGS. IT IS
AN INSULT FOR HIM TO DO THAT KIND OF WORK AGAIN.
YOU SAY THERE WAS POWER IN THOSE DAYS, -IN
JERUSALEM AND IN JERICHO, HE WENT ABOUT DOING
MIGHTY WORKS; AND THAT WAS CHILD PLAY.
RIGHT NOW HE IS IN AMERICA, IN INDIA, AND
EVERYWHERE. HE IS INSIDE YOU, IN THE AIR, IN THE
WATER, IN THE SKY, AND EVERYWHERE MAN HAS SET HIS
FEET. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF SUCH A PERSON. WHAT DO
YOU THINK OF SUCH A RULER? IT IS THE SAME PERSON
YOU ARE DENYING. YOU CLAIM THAT HE IS DEAD AND
THAT HE CANNOT RULE OVER YOU. BUT IT IS TOO LATE
BECAUSE HE HAS COME TO RULE HEAVEN AND EARTH. ALL
ANGELS, BLACKS AND WHITES AND COLORED PEOPLE ARE
ALL UNDER HIS RULERSHIP. WHETHER YOU KNOW HIM OR
NOT IS IRRELEVANT BECAUSE HIS REIGN IS FOREVER AND
EVER. HE HAS NOT COME TO CLEANSE THE LEPERS AND
RAISE THE DEAD BUT HE HAS A LONG LEG.
HE PASSES THROUGH A THIEF AND RAISES THE DEAD
AND YOU WILL RUSH AND PROCLAIM THE THIEF AS THE
TRUE GOD; AND SO YOU FAIL. He can use a murderer to
raise the dead AND DIVIDE THE SUN INTO TWO AND YOU
WILL BE ASTONISHED, IT IS THE SAME ONE. But you will
rush to see wonders, you will accept the murderer as the
real Jesus. He passes on and you cannot see Him and so you
fail by calling the murderer Jesus. WHEN YOU WANT TO
IDENTIFY HIM BY POWER AND MIRACLES YOU FAIL. WHEN
YOU BEGIN TO COMMEND A PERSON BEING VERY
POWERFUL, DO YOU KNOW THE SOURCE OF THAT POWER?
He has come to take dominion and rulership. ALL ANGELS
HAVE TO SERVE HIM. BRETHREN, CAN YOU SEE THE
STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED?
The church denomination says they are waiting for Him but
none keeps His injunction of love ye one another which He
left us. The Church leader will tell you that he founded the
church and that he raised the dead and he is even greater
than Jesus. Such works are elementary. THIS TIME HE HAS
COME TO CHANGE MAN SO THAT WE CAN LIVE IN PEACE
AND LOVE AND JOY WITH ONE ANOTHER. RIGHT NOW
RAISING THE DEAD IS A CARNAL JOB. IF YOU PRESS ON
LOOKING FOR THIS TYPE OF SIGN YOU PERISH. He says He
will wipe off all tears from your eyes; there will be no more
death, nor sorrows, nor mourning again. There will be no
sickness nor pain again. When there are no more sicknesses
what are you going to cure? That is what he has come to do,
but instead of you waiting for Him to do His work you run to
native doctors to have your problems solved. Do you think
God does not see you? You have failed. HE IS TRUTH, HE IS
PEACE, HE IS PATIENCE, MERCY, HUMILITY,
RIGHTEOUSNESS, SELF-CONTROL, GLORY, JOY, AND ALL
GOOD VIRTUES. It does not involve only raising the dead
and going about from house to house. Go to any part of the
world if there is anywhere you can find these virtues apart
from in Him.
Healing, miracles, are the old style and they are still
operating on their own scale. It is the same old thing which
is regarded as new when they arrive in Africa. And so all the
signs and wonders are meant to deceive the unbelievers. I
do not want to say more than this. I want everybody to get
back home and ponder over this statement. It is mental
arithmetic and you can either have the answer right or
wrong.
THE FACT REMAINS THAT GOD HAS NEVER REPEATED
HIS OWN THING. IF SOMEBODY COMES TO TELL YOU THAT
HE IS CHRIST, LEAVE HIM ALONE, AND PASS ON. CHRIST IS
NOT COMING TO WALK FROM PLACE TO PLACE. HE IS
COMING AS THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
WHERE DOES HE HAVE TO MOVE TO? HE IS EVERYWHERE
AND IT IS EITHER YOU SEE HIM OR YOU DO NOT SEE HIM.
ANY KING WHO CARRIES HIS OWN CHAIR IS NOT A KING. A
KING HAS HIS CHAIR AND THRONE AND EVERYTHING
PREPARED FOR HIM.
Brethren I do not intend to take you further than this. A
stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. He who has
ears let him hear. May the Lord bless His Holy words, Amen.
THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.

………………………………………………………………………………………
CHRIST IS THE GROOM TO ALL THE
MEMBERS OF BROTHERHOOD.
Eph 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but
be filled with the Spirit;
Eph 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to
the Lord;
EPH 5:20 GIVING THANKS ALWAYS FOR ALL THINGS UNTO
GOD AND THE FATHER IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST;
Eph 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of
God.
Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands,
as unto the Lord.
Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, EVEN AS
CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH: AND HE IS THE
SAVIOUR OF THE BODY.
Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so
let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also
loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Eph 5:26 THAT HE MIGHT SANCTIFY AND CLEANSE IT WITH
THE WASHING OF WATER BY THE WORD,
Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious
church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but
that it should be holy and without blemish.
Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own
bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
Eph 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but
nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and
of his bones.
Eph 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and
mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall
be one flesh.
Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning
Christ and the church.
Eph 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so
love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she
reverence her husband.
CHRIST IS THE GROOM TO ALL THE MEMBERS OF
BROTHERHOOD.
Read 2nd Corinthians 11:2-end and also sing this spiritual
song: A groom has been appointed and Christ is the groom
to us.
Beloved, apart from Our Lord Jesus Christ, there is none
other who is your groom. CHRIST IS THE GROOM TO ALL
THE MEMBERS OF BROTHERHOOD. So you need not worry
yourself about what you lack. For once you kneel down,
knock down your forehead, and present all your problems to
Christ, through prayer you are filled. THE FATHER IS
ALWAYS SUFFICIENT TO YOU AND AS SUCH YOU SHOULD
NOT REQUEST FOR PRAYERS FROM PEOPLE. You should not
be deceived , in this kingdom, everybody has equal power
and potentials.
It is only in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star that God is
worshiped in Spirit and in truth That is why I tell you that
should you abide by all the injunctions given to you by the
Father, here in the kingdom, things would have been perfect
with you. So long as you remain obedient to the Father, you
are on top of the world and you cannot be harmed by
anything. DO NOT BE AFRAID OF ANYTHING. Stop offering a
prolonged prayer. Instead say, ALL IS WELL, for all things
are bound to be well accordingly.
Let my peace and blessing rest and abide with the entire
world now and forevermore. Amen
THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.

    BCSNET OOO THE WORD CENTER PRESENTS TELLUS, WHEN SHALL THESE THINGS BE? AND WHAT SHALL BE THE SIGN OF THY COMING, AND OF THE END OF THE WORLD? TAKE HEED THAT NO MAN DECEIVE YOU. FOR MANY SHALL COME IN MY NAME, SAYING, I AM CHRIST; AND SHALL DECEIVE MANY. Mat 24:4 AND MANY FALSE PROPHETS SHALL RISE, AND SHALL DECEIVE MANY. (Mat 24:11 )
  • 2.
    Mat 24:3 Andas he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Mat 24:13 BUT HE THAT SHALL ENDURE UNTO THE END, THE SAME SHALL BE SAVED.
  • 3.
    FOR THE PRIESTHOODBEING CHANGED, THERE IS MADE OF NECESSITY A CHANGE ALSO OF THE LAW. (Heb 7:12) 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. SO YOU SHOULD NOT BE DECEIVED BY ANYBODY WHO MAY RISE TOMORROW AND CLAIM TO BE THE CHIEF PRIEST. FOR OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS TAKEN HIS GLORIOUS THRONE, AND HIS GLORY HAS NEITHER BEGINNING NOR AN END. HE IS THE GREAT TEACHER WHO HAS TAKEN EVERYBODY TO HIS FATHER. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

    HEREAFTER I WILLNOT TALK MUCH WITH YOU: FOR THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD COMETH, AND HATH NOTHING IN ME. (Joh 14:30) Joh 14:25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Joh 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Joh 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. Joh 14:29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. Joh 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. Joh 14:31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

    THE GOD OFTHIS WORLD HATH BLINDED THE MINDS OF THEM WHICH BELIEVE NOT THEREFORE SEEING WE HAVE THIS MINISTRY, AS WE HAVE RECEIVED MERCY, WE FAINT NOT; BUT HAVE RENOUNCED THE HIDDEN THINGS OF DISHONESTY, NOT WALKING IN CRAFTINESS, NOR HANDLING THE WORD OF GOD DECEITFULLY; BUT BY MANIFESTATION OF THE TRUTH COMMENDING OURSELVES TO EVERY MAN'S CONSCIENCE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. (2Co 4:1-2 ) THE GOD OF THIS WORLD HATH BLINDED THE MINDS OF THEM WHICH BELIEVE NOT(2Co 4:4) 2Co 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2Co 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 2Co 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

    ASTROLOGY THE FATHER HASCALLED YOU TO REMOLD YOU WITH HIS WORD. John1:1—5 *IN ALL YOUR UNDERTAKINGS LET THE WORD OF GOD BE YOUR GUIDE AND LIGHT. YOU DO NOT NEED THE SUN AND MOON AND STARS, WE ARE LIVING BY THE WORD OF GOD, GOD ALONE CAN OVERCOME ALL PROBLEMS. BIBLE WITNESS ON ASTROLOGY: Isa 47:13 -15 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. Isa 47:14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it. Isa 47:15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy
  • 8.
    youth: they shallwander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee. THE FATHER HAS CALLED YOU TO REMOLD YOU WITH HIS WORD. John1:1—5 "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." You were invited to the Pentecostal Assembly to be transformed through the word of God. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star as you were earlier told is love. Strive hard to love one another and forget about the pattern of our nomenclature, it is as reflected below: Ordained, Students, Christ's Servants, Choristers and the Congregation, you are all one flock under one shepherd. Do not allow the system of nomenclature start to confuse you. Many of you failed to participate in the Pentecostal from the first day but you come for the last blessing. DO YOU THINK THAT YOU WILL BE BLESSED WITH
  • 9.
    WATER? IT ISWITH THE VERY WORDS WHICH YOU HAVE REFUSED TO RECEIVE. I HAVE SAID SO MUCH ABOUT THE HOLY OIL BUT YOU INSIST ON HAVING IT, INSTEAD OF RECEIVING THE WORD OF GOD. DO NOT FORGET THAT IT IS WITH THE WORD THAT I MAKE THE HOLY OIL. You are also very much after the Biakpan water, no matter how slippery the road is, you like to rush to Biakpan to have the water, forgetting that it is with THE WORD that I made the water. You will even refuse to give the water to your intimate friends. Christ made it clear to us that the flesh does not give us anything. THE WORD OF GOD WHICH IS GIVEN TO YOU IS LIFE, POWER, WEALTH, FOOD AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED. THE WORD OF GOD WILL BE THE JUDGE I DO NOT JUDGE ANYBODY BUT THE WORD THAT CHRIST HAS SPOKEN WILL JUDGE HIM. DO YOU NOT SEE HOW THE WHOLE OF MANKIND IS SUFFERING BY REFUSING TO ACCEPT THE WORDS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST? REDIRECT YOUR MINDS AND WAYS TO THE FIRST LOVE THAT YOU HAD FOR OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO BEING A JEALOUS GOD, HE TELLS YOU NOT TO HAVE ANY OTHER GODS BEFORE HIM OR EVEN BOW DOWN TO
  • 10.
    WORSHIP THEM. HETELLS YOU TO WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH, BECAUSE HE IS THE ALMIGHTY GOD. HE DOES NOT KNOW SEGREGATION, INTRIGUE OR DECEIT. As you are being sent home now, go and invite the whole world, go into the villages, and into the churches, and get them united, tell the government to be united and remain in love. THIS IS THE REIGN OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. Do not be annoyed, and do not quarrel with any person. Do not bear malice against any person. Whoever bears grudges against any person should reconcile and make peace with such a person. IN ALL YOUR UNDERTAKINGS LET THE WORD OF GOD BE YOUR GUIDE AND LIGHT. YOU DO NOT NEED THE SUN AND MOON AND STARS, WE ARE LIVING BY THE WORD OF GOD, GOD ALONE CAN OVERCOME ALL PROBLEMS. Do not be deceived by any person that this and that type of illness cannot be healed by God, or that this and that problem cannot be overcome by God because what God does not do, no person can do it, what God does not take away, no person can take it away. Whatever ailment, whatever sickness, whatever trouble that you have, do not take herbs,
  • 11.
    roots, leaves, ormedicine, even when it is directed by an angel. God is the only healer, bow down and worship Him. If you have any illness and someone comes and tell you that, that sickness is from man rejoice because it will soon be over, but if someone tells you that the cause is from God, prostrate before God and ask Him to forgive you. Any person who tells you that your ailment or tribulation is from man, juju, and witchcraft or from the world, is the messenger of Satan and a deceiver. All the problems that you have, all the sicknesses and all the afflictions that beset you is because you do not submit yourself to God and you do not listen to the word of God and practice same. If someone offends his brother, and afterwards he goes to his brother and asks for, forgiveness, what is your problem? Every wrongdoing we commit, we commit against God, and if we go to God for forgiveness and He accepts us back, why should other people bother themselves. If God wants you to suffer and perish, He will harden your heart, deafen your ears, and close your eyes to reasoning, and you would not run to God for forgiveness. In that case He wants you to suffer. Before you find yourself in such
  • 12.
    a position itmeans you have deliberately committed atrocities without a conscience. Brethren, this era is not the era of human beings, it is the era of Jehovah God and His Christ, therefore, you cannot say that your brother is a Pastor, Bishop, an Evangelist, a Leader and therefore he will help you. This is the era of the Holy Spirit. Go into the world and impart this message unto them, if you or anybody wants to adhere to the instructions and advice given you, he can do so in order to be saved. Many of you are afraid to preach this truth. Your friends who are lawyers, permanent secretaries, heads of institutions, are starved of the gospel, and consequently they incur punishment for their wrongdoings. Since they are made to suffer because you refuse to teach them, you are not free either. The kingdom of God is not for you and me alone, it is not only for Nigerians, it is for the whole world. Go ye therefore, and inform the adulterers, fornicators, idolaters, thieves, murderers, and all sinners to refrain from sin in order that they may be saved. If you watch closely, you would realize that things have changed in the Government. In the past if you commit any crime in the government you will be
  • 13.
    mildly reprimanded, butnow any crime you commit in the government you are greatly punished because this is the reign of Jehovah God and His Christ.

    If you hadreally looked for this true wisdom, brethren, you would not have allowed one minute or one day to elude you, because these words I speak to you are spirits, and they are the life eternal you are looking for.

  • 15.
    WHEN YOU STAYPUT, WHAT IS YOUR MISSION, IF YOU FAIL TO RECEIVE THE WORDS OF GOD? BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER, AND SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR Excerpt from the gospel: THE KEY OF LIFE …………………………………………………………………………… THE WORK OF UNITY UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL: FIRST JOHN 4:21: "And this commandment we have from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also." Have you heard what is read to you? You always say that God knows your heart. He does not know. If you do not love your brother, sister, or neighbor, you do not belong to this kingdom. It is only here that you have to be one. Where ever you go now to settle, be it Aba, Port Harcourt, Lagos, Uyo or anywhere at all, you are given land to build your house, live there with the people peacefully, without division. You are all one, be it in America, India, or anywhere else.
  • 16.
    Black or whiteor colored, we are one and the same people. Look at the sister sitting there, she comes from London. Everywhere people are shouting: "we are brothers." In Ghana, Ivory Coast, Britain, Nigeria and everywhere. And so you should not continue to complain that you have no father, mother, brother, or sister or children. What we are doing here is not raising the dead, giving visions, but to see about uniting every person in the world together- to bring them into that one and indivisible whole. Your attention is drawn to a situation at Ikot Itie Idung, where all the churches are now united. They have united together. We are working towards uniting all the Churches together. What is the sense in causing divisions? Right now all the thieves have teamed up to form a union, the prostitutes have done the same thing, and the rest of the people. Tell Me the difference between a thief, prostitute, murderer, fornicator, swindler or what have you? They are all human being. Tell me the reason why you should not come together? Apostle Essien from Ndon Ebom came the other day and said that all the churches in that community want to hold a thanksgiving service on the twelfth day of the month to make peace. In the past, there have been troubles in that
  • 17.
    community, and nowall of them want to come together and co-operate. Individually, whether you have money, wisdom, children, it is not My concern. When you come together, everything is bound into one, there will be peace, love, wealth, knowledge, power, co-operation-there will be everything and nothing will be lacking. RIGHT NOW IF THERE IS ANY PERSON EXISTING IN ANY PART OF THIS WORLD WHO SAYS HE DOES NOT REVERENCE BROTHERHOOD, THAT PERSON IS TELLING A LIE. Many people would watch when you say you have no body to help you- no sister, no brother, or no relatives, they would jump on you and do what they like. But when they discover that you have many relatives, no person will come to you. When they look at you, they will say this man calls every person brother, sister, and here they will fear you and say all these people are your brothers and sisters. And they will warn other persons not to go there so as not to be consumed. A leopard or a tiger can do whatever it likes with a single cow, but if there is a congregation of several herds of cows, the leopard will hide somewhere and watch the cows because it cannot afford to devour
  • 18.
    any one cowwith such a large number of cows looking on. And so when the leopard discovers that it cannot do anything, with all the cows around, it would go to one of cows and ask him what he is sitting down there for? Why not go and take fresh air and enjoy yourself with food somewhere out there, for there is no need sitting down here. It will go round and say the same thing to the rest of the cows and when it succeeds in dispersing them into different directions, it will have the chance of killing all of them. Right now if you go to any place, people will be watching you to see if you are alone or not. As they go up they will see another group of people coming and conversing. They will walk down and still see one, two, three, or more people coming, then they will be so discouraged from doing anything to you because you are so many, and if they tamper with any of you, they will destroy him. The person has to allow them to pass. But if you walk alone, the people plotting against you will be watching you, and they will be moving up and down the road to see if there are some other persons accompanying you. If they find that there are no other person, they will jump on you, cut your throat, and do all sorts of things. You
  • 19.
    do not haveany other people to help you except members of Brotherhood of the Cross and star. A pastor at Port Harcourt did not attach himself to his people and the laws of the land, but instead he attached himself to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Now that he is dead, his people say they have nothing to do with him, that he was not with them. That is the challenge to Brotherhood and every hand must be on deck to see that we all go there to meet that challenge. And so you see that no village, community, town, country or government can withstand Brotherhood. Should Brotherhood voice out they will run away and go into hiding. When you begin to make the pronouncement that you have nobody, and that you are alone in the world, that is instrumental to your situations and positions in life. You will not have anybody to assist you in life if you continue to say these things. You will be poor, will be sick and shall finally die. But once you continue to believe that Brotherhood will always be at your side, surely it will be. God is the God of multitude. Therefore, every person is your brother. If you say that every man is your brother, every woman is your sister, you will have power and nothing will influence you.
  • 20.
    In Brotherhood whereverwe are given land, we have to build houses in villages, towns, and cities, and even establish firms and other institutions so that many people who have an occupation will be sent there to work. Your trouble is that very many people cannot live there, that since there is no electricity, pipe borne water, and all other amenities and luxuries of life. That is what I have come to do. If you have been weeping like an orphan, you have to rearrange your thinking, for you have people. You have brothers and sisters all over the world. When you go out and see the number of people you have, you will become very joyous and will know that nothing is wrong with you. Right now the whole world is filled with Brotherhood children. Every person you see outside will be wearing white, even those who do not come to Brotherhood purposely go and sew their whites and put on and call you brother or sister. Go to Ghana, Liberia, London, and everywhere in the world, you will see people with white. Do you know what the world has forgotten? When Dr. Azikiwe was to form a political party, he went round and gathered all thieves, truck-pushers,
  • 21.
    and the restof the lowly placed people to form the N.C.N.C. But Chief Awolowo said that he wants to form a political party of decent men, of doctors, lawyers, millionaires, and educated people, that was Action Group and fan themselves that the N.C.N.C. cannot cope with them. They forgot that the thieves, truck pushers and their gangs became ministers with portfolios. And so all the doctors, lawyers, and other big men were standing aside in their houses and they did not have a say. That was the decision of majority. Don't you know that man is the most expensive thing in the world? Even if he has crooked eyes, broken legs, he is very useful in the world. He has an assignment. When in 1977 the Churches in Calabar and all over the country united together to wage war against Brotherhood, THE YOUTH FELLOWSHIP was formed to counter the evil intentions of the churches. The so-called big men ran away and hid themselves. Those members of other churches thought it was our Father alone so that they could catch Him like a fowl as they did to Our Lord Jesus Christ. They did not know that there is a multitude that they could not cope with. The big men had their role to play while others carried out the combat, they
  • 22.
    went on undergroundwork, urging others to give their support, financial or otherwise. If you go to the government, police or any place throughout the nation, Brotherhood is there. The thieves in Brotherhood have their own duty to perform. They do not steal indiscriminately. If they hear anybody saying any evil word against Brotherhood, they will mark that person, find out where he lives, one day they will go and clear his house. And so people will ask why did you say evil things about Brotherhood, whatever the person wants will be given to him. And you will boast that without Brotherhood, I would not have been what I am now, Brotherhood is feeding me. Another person will ask if I come will they accept me? Then he will be told that Brotherhood doesn't discriminate, and so the person will come. There are people listening everywhere to hear what people would say about Brotherhood. If you say evil words, you will be so marked out. And so all of us have assignments. What a truthful person can do, a liar cannot do it. A liar, a thief, a fornicator and the rest of the people have their different assignments. No person is completely useless. That is why death is not yet destroyed because it has not completed its
  • 23.
    own assignment. Ifthere is anything going wrong somewhere, it will be informed to go and do its work. That is why when you are told to forsake sins, you frown that you are going to do it gradually, saying that you are only doing it as a hobby, to safeguard something, afterwards you will do away with it entirely. The government has realized that it is unwise to continue to execute murderers, but they have to do it to deter those who think they can just take up a knife and get to the market and start cutting off people's head without any cause. They are just punishing them to keep down the murder rate. It is only at the fullness of time that they will completely abandon the idea of killing the murderers. Even if a woman is a fornicator, that does not prevent her from serving God. The other person is rogue, that does not prevent him from doing something for God. They are all your brothers and sisters. Everybody has a purpose, a sister who fornicates will be able to entice plenty of men into Brotherhood. The same thing is applicable to a man who is a fornicator. You will say that you are good, how many people have you brought in here?
  • 24.
    It is hightime we united all churches, secret societies, and all other institutions into one. The juju doctors, necromancers, herbalists, and the rest should be brought together also. If you do not bring them together, who will give strong testimony, because it is the man who has gone far who will be able, after studying Brotherhood so much, to give a good testimony. For you, your only testimony is that your wife has given birth to a child and that you have been promoted. But the juju doctor will be able to testify because he has tested the power of Brotherhood and has found himself wanting. A tree has power, its bark has power, the leaves and the roots have power and so all these small powers must be combined to form an impregnable power. Whether it is a leaf, root, bark of a tree, water, you have to bring them together so that you can establish one power. ARE YOU NOT SURPRISED ABOUT THE HEALING WATER AT BIAKPAN? YOU COME FROM ENGLAND, LONDON, AMERICA, OR ANY OTHER PLACE AT ALL AND YOU CARRY YOUR EMPTY CANS TO COLLECT THE WATER, MUD AND SAND FROM BIAKPAN. YOU DRINK IT AND IT CURES YOUR SICKNESS. WATER FROM BIAKPAN IS USED AS THE LAST RESORT. IT
  • 25.
    IS PUT ONSPECIAL USE ONLY. SOMEBODY CAN OFFER TO GIVE YOU A FULL BOTTLE OF HOLY OIL, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO BIAKPAN WATER, THE PERSON WILL GIVE YOU ONLY A DROP. Brethren, have you seen that? That is why it is said wherever your faith is that is where your salvation comes from. Some people have their faith in trees, some in herbs, some in water and some in spirits. SO THOSE WHO ARE LINKED WITH TREES HAVE THEIR CURE FROM THE TREE, THOSE WHO ARE LINKED TO THE LEAVES, WATER AND EVEN THE SAND HAVE THEIR SALVATION FROM EACH OF THESE. THOSE WHO ARE LINKED TO THE HOLY SPIRIT HAVE THEIR CURE, POWER AND EVERYTHING FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT. If we love each other, we all shall speak only one language, have one behavior. But if we hate each other, there will continue to be many languages, we shall believe in different ways of doing things. What happens in the world today about Brotherhood? You are sitting with your carnal brother or sister, holding discussions, but immediately you see your Brotherhood members, you will jump up and follow them and begin to hold conversation. When you leave your parents and relatives, you do not even care
  • 26.
    about them, orwhat they are saying. They will say that they do not know what is wrong with you people. They will say that you are lost. That sister who came from London did not care to go and visit her parents. SHE CAME STRAIGHT TO SEE THE HOLY FATHER FIRST. Yesterday she was here, today she is here again. Right now she is very happy, being that she is with us. Anywhere you go, you first of all ask for a Bethel, even if you have had all storied buildings with so many rooms and comfortable beds. You do not want all these luxuries of life. You will instead look for a Bethel to stay comfortably in. What has actually brought you here? What actually do you eat and enjoy here? IT IS THAT LOVE WHICH HAS BEEN LOST BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SEPARATED. For very many years there was no coming together. But right now the Father has brought everybody together. That is why there is joy, joy, joy. LET MY PEACE AND BLESSING REMAIN WITH YOU NOW AND FOREVER MORE. AMEN. THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.

THE FATHER ALWAYS PREACHES TO CORRECT THE PEOPLE'S MISCONCEPTIONS. You are all indebted to the people of the world. You owe them the word of God. You are to take the word of God to every nook and cranny for them to practice. You claim that you want to do the work of

    God. What isthe work of God? The work of God is hearing, practicing and preaching the word of God. The scripture has it that, everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved. But it is said: "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things. But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing, by the word of God. (Romans 10:14-17). Sequel to the above excerpt, we are made to understand the fact that ANYONE WHO HAS FAITH IN GOD HAS ETERNAL LIFE. But the question is how would we believe or have faith in Him, whom we have never heard of? That is the reason why we have
  • 29.
    been enjoined that,any town or city without a prophet is perished. Without a preacher (prophet) in a city, the inhabitants of such a city would not believe in God and practice His words. To that effect such a city is condemned. One of our brethren, residing in Zaire testified that everybody in the compound he lives is afraid of the house, owing to the landlord's dubious character. In fact, he further testified that, he is the only person and a Nigerian for that matter, who is living in the compound till now. He added that what he had used in winning the landlord is the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star pamphlets. And after going through the books, the man did not hesitate to be baptized. He then testified that the man and his entire family are now members of this wonderful kingdom. A spiritual song has it that," Preach, for the world is blind and deaf." So brethren, we all should preach ceaselessly for the entire world is blind and deaf. This is because their misconceptions cannot be corrected, if they are not preached to. The words of God preached here by the Father are so interesting
  • 30.
    and striking thatpeople always say that the gospels are working marvelously each passing day. This is so because the Father always preaches to correct the people's misconceptions. In fact, this is the more reason why I do not relent in my efforts in preaching to you. And it is imperative that, you avail yourself of this golden opportunity to listen to the word of God and practise same. A local adage has it that wine torments someone according to the person's behavior. The word of God contains love, mercy, power, peace and other virtues. Therefore, for one to possess these virtues, he needs to come into this kingdom (the reservoir) and imbibe the gospel. Once you have the word of God lavishly in you, you can never be stupid because your eyes would be made to open. Read our first lesson again.

THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO TELL YOU WHEN AND WHERE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS BORN, JOHN THE BAPTIST WENT ABOUT PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF REPENTANCE TO PEOPLE, AND THAT JOHN ATE LOCUST BEANS AND HONEY.

    Excerpt from thegospel: THE KEY OF LIFE ……………………………………………………………………………………… THE RESURRECTED CHRIST: * THE PURPOSE OF HIS CRUCIFIXION WAS TO GO TO THE HADES, AFTER CONQUERING THE EARTH, TO OBTAIN THE KEYS TO HADES. * BUT BECAUSE OF MAN'S BLINDNESS, THEY CLAIM THAT HE IS DEAD, AND SO THEY ARE GAZING INTO THE SKY, EXPECTING HIS ARRIVAL. THAT IS A CONTINUATION OF THAT SAME BLINDNESS, AND IGNORANCE OF PAST GENERATIONS. * DOES GOD DIE OR FALL SICK? WHO BESTOWS THE HOLY SPIRIT, IF HE WERE DEAD? When Christ was nailed to the cross, He did commend His spirit to His Father. (Luke Chapter 23 verse 46). After three days, the same spirit went back to His abode, and began to work miracles among the people. HIS LOVE WAS EXPRESSED WHEN MARY MAGDALENE RAN TO EMBRACE HIM, BUT HE TOLD HER NOT TO TOUCH HIM BECAUSE HE HAD NOT ASCENDED TO HIS FATHER, OUR FATHER, HIS GOD, AND OUR GOD. (John Chapter 20 verse 17). HE THEN GAVE MARY A MESSAGE TO DELIVER TO
  • 35.
    HIS BRETHREN ANDDISCIPLES. BUT BEFORE SHE COULD ARRIVE THERE, CHRIST WAS ALREADY WITH HIS DISCIPLES. WHO IN THE WORLD COULD BE COMPARED TO HIM? OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS SEEN ALL OVER THE PLACE DOING MANY WONDERFUL THINGS. HE TOOK EXIT FOR THREE DAYS ONLY, AND FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. EVER SINCE HIS RESURRECTION HE HAS BEEN HERE WITH US. THE PURPOSE OF HIS CRUCIFIXION WAS TO GO TO THE HADES, AFTER CONQUERING THE EARTH, TO OBTAIN THE KEYS TO HADES. BUT BECAUSE OF MAN'S BLINDNESS, THEY CLAIM THAT HE IS DEAD, AND SO THEY ARE GAZING INTO THE SKY, EXPECTING HIS ARRIVAL. THAT IS A CONTINUATION OF THAT SAME BLINDNESS, AND IGNORANCE OF PAST GENERATIONS. DOES GOD DIE OR FALL SICK? WHO BESTOWS THE HOLY SPIRIT, IF HE WERE DEAD? John the Baptist said it clearly he baptized with water, but there was A Being who had been before him, whose shoe latchet he was not worthy to untie,

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures." THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ON EARTH: It was in 1960, I enjoined people to refrain from every form of medication and idolatry. But because you are blind and ignorant of the truth, you continue to indulge in these evil acts. And as a result of this disobedience, you encounter many problems. DO NOT DIRECT ANYBODY TO GO TO ANY PERSON FOR WHATEVER REASON. KNOW THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME BY HIMSELF, AND HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD. WHETHER YOU SEE HIM OR NOT, AND WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IN HIM OR NOT, HE EXISTS, AND HE
  • 37.
    DOES NOT RELENTIN HIS WORK. WHOEVER SEEKS AFTER THE HOLY SPIRIT AND OBTAINS IT WILL HAVE WISDOM, POWER, PROSPERITY AND ETERNAL LIFE. THE PROMISE THIS GENERATION WILL NOT PASS, BEFORE THE HOLY SPIRIT REAPPEARS, HAS BEEN FULFILLED. (Mark Chapter 13 verse 30). HE IS HERE. ONLY A FEW YEARS ARE LEFT FOR HIS MANIFESTATION IN FULL FORCE. THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY GHOST ABIDES HERE ON EARTH. YOUR PROBLEMS ARE TRACEABLE TO YOUR IGNORANCE OF HIS PRESENCE ON EARTH. This is indeed a very lucky generation. Abraham, Melchisedec, and the rest of the patriarchs were longing for this kingdom, but they could not behold it. You and I are very lucky to have that promise fulfilled in us. This explains why in this kingdom no instruments of orchestra are used; we do not clap hands, neither do we burn incense, or light candles, and we do not make sacrifices, or do anything unseeming. OFFER YOURSELF COMPLETELY THEREFORE TO HIM, AND WATCH HIM TAKE

    CONTROL OVER YOU.YOU ARE ONLY A WITNESS TO THIS TRUTH. GO AND TELL THE WHOLE WORLD TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AND TO REFRAIN FROM HATRED, BACKBITING, CAUSING DIVISION AND IDOL WORSHIPPING. IT IS ONLY WHEN WE REFRAIN FROM EVIL THE WORLD WILL WITNESS THE GLORY AND MAGNIFICENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. All the problems of men are traceable to their unbelief and ignorance. There is bound to be wars, famine, and all kinds of problems as long as man continues to sin. BUT IN SPITE OF THIS, ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN GOD, AND DO HIS WILL CANNOT BE AFFECTED ADVERSELY BY ANYTHING. IT IS FUNNY THAT A MAN WHO DESIRES PEACE DRINKS. DO YOU KNOW, DRINKS CAN PUSH YOU INTO PROBLEMS, AND EVEN MAKE YOU COMMIT MURDER? WHY SHOULD PEOPLE WHO WANT PEACE TAKE UP MACHETES, CLUBS, AND DRUMS INTO THE STREETS? IT IS RIDICULOUS FOR A MAN WHOSE AMBITION IS TO LIVE A PEACEFUL LIFE TO GET MARRIED, SEEK FOR MONEY, AND TO ASSOCIATE WITH THE WORLD.

    ALL THESE MATERIALTHINGS BRING PROBLEMS. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE RESERVOIR OF PEACE AND ALL GOOD THINGS. CONSEQUENTLY, THE KINGDOM OF GOD DOES NOT CONSIST IN EATING OR DRINKING BUT IN PEACE, IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JOY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT. Those who are lucky enough to be called into this kingdom to see this love, peace, and wisdom should be resolute and upright.

Joh 14:31 BUT THAT THE WORLD MAY KNOW THAT I LOVE THE FATHER; AND AS THE FATHER GAVE ME COMMANDMENT, EVEN SO I DO. ARISE, LET US GO HENCE. If you love any person you will listen to whatsoever the person says. You will obey the person. If you love any person you will comply with whatever that person tells you to do. If you are told to crawl on the floor you will obey; if somebody tells you go there you will go because you love the person and that is
  • 44.
    why you submitto the person. It is said children obey your father and your mother, and you parents must love your children. (Eph 6:1) To obey your father and your mother means you should love them. If you comply, it means that the person you obey is the person you love. And invariably, to love your children means to obey your children, because when you love any person it stands to reason that you have surrendered yourself completely to such a person, and do all his bidding. Note that it does not mean that you should go and oppress your children, or kill them. The Father or the Holy Spirit has come in force to liberate the oppressed.

Why are you called Leader?
  • 47.
    A. I AMAPPROPRIATELY CALLED A LEADER BECAUSE GOD HAS PROVIDED A LIVING EXAMPLE IN ME FOR YOU TO FOLLOW IN ORDER TO LEAD YOU TO GOD'S KINGDOM. THE QUALITIES YOU SEE IN ME ARE FOR YOU TO EMULATE. I AM A MODEL TO YOU. Q. Father, how would you re-act to this?( As I was speaking as He kept smiling), I have not seen any Beelzebub pot here but some insist you are of Beelzebub, by whose power do you operate? A. Read Mathew Chapter 12 verses 24 to 30 24: But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. 25: And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 26: And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? 27: And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. 28: But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom
  • 48.
    of God iscome unto you. 29: Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. 30: He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad; and, 1 Corinthians Chapter 2 verses 10-11, 10: But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11: For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 1 Corinthians 2:16: For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. All powers belong to the Father, I do not have any power of my own. BUT THE SECRET OF MY POWER IS IN PRAYERS. The Father grants the requests of those who have faith in Him and worship Him in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. Faith in God is not a mere claim, it is the practice of the claim. Didn't our Lord Jesus Christ say that if we have faith as little as a mustard seed that we could do greater things? I worship the Father with all dedication and devotion with every zeal in righteousness, in spirit, and truth,
  • 49.
    and He hasbecome faithful to His words by manifesting His great powers through me, yet they say I am of Belzeebub. It's either they do not believe in Our Lord Jesus Christ whom they claim to profess or they are saying that God is not capable of possessing such powers. But they are wrong. The things of the sprit cannot be understood by the flesh. But soon all men's work shall be made manifest, (He quickly stated). With a moving sense of humility Leader OBU turned to me and said. “MY SON, LET NO ONE TELL YOU THAT THE ONE WHO WILL RULE WITH A ROD OF IRON WILL COME FROM THE SKY." Pre-empting my next question He cited the following Bible Text: "Revelation Chapter 12 verse 5 Says that he'll be born of a woman. He will also come as a thief in the night, not to the observation of all men. Only few witnessed the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ out of all the inhabitants if the world. Q. Could the promised Holy Spirit be here now? A. It is the arrival of the Holy Spirit that exposed the truth. Read John Chapter 14 versa 28:
  • 50.
    28: Ye haveheard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. If you were baptized, you would know that the Holy Spirt is personified. The scripture is clear in referring to the Holy Spirit as " He," Leader O.O. Obu explained. EXCERPT FROM INTERIEW WITH PRESSMAN …………………………………………………………………………… THE MAN CHILD, WHO WAS TO RULE ALL NATIONS WITH A ROD OF IRON, GOLDEN TEXT: REVELATION 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron, and her child was caught up to God and his throne. Brethren the three texts form the basis of our sermon. This is not the time to deceive any person, either with vision or dream or otherwise. It is said
  • 51.
    the kingdom ofthis world has become the kingdom of Jehovah God and His Christ. (Rev 11:15). It is also said that what was done to the Israelites shall also be done unto the Gentiles. His coming had been revealed, and this is the time for the manifestation of the revelation. It was revealed that a young girl would give birth to a male child, and his name will be Emmanuel. It was also revealed that a woman shall deliver a man child who will rule the world with a rod of iron. All power in heaven and on earth, according to the revelation, is handed unto this man-child. The revelation has been fulfilled this day but the world does not know Him. The world is instead gazing into the sky, going to the mountain tops and gathering stones and sticks to seek for power and help. Why has this wisdom eluded the whole world? The problems of the world are brought about by this ignorance. When you say that you cannot worship any man, who was the one who ascended? Was he a stone or a stick or a fish or an angel? Which angel
  • 52.
    has God evertold, "Ye are my son and this day have I begotten thee?" (Heb 1:5). The angel made it clear through the revelation that the man-child shall be brought forth by a woman. In the first advent His name was given as Jesus, the Emmanuel, meaning God with man. But this time around the mystery is that no name has been given. But it is said in the scriptures that He will come with an iron rod to rule the world. Therefore if you fail to know and recognize this person who had been empowered to rule the world with an iron rod and into whose hands all power in heaven and on earth is entrusted, you are doomed. If all power and authority is given to this being that you refuse to recognize, what will you do on the day of judgement? All the trees, stones, angels and the rest of the creatures bow down and worship Him. If you, man, refuse to worship Him, from where will your salvation come? Do you remember what happened to Lucifer? In the case of Our Lord Jesus Christ it was prophesied that a young girl should bring forth a
  • 53.
    male child andHis name shall be called Jesus. But in this case, the revelation is that a woman shall bring forth a man child who will rule the world with a rod of iron. This latter revelation has since been fulfilled, and the man child is ruling with a rod of iron. The problem with the world is that they do not know Him, and instead of seeking to know and recognize Him they are saying that they cannot worship a man. THE FIRST ADAM WAS A CHILD OF GOD, AND THE SECOND ADAM WAS A CHILD OF GOD. THE THIRD ADAM IS THE MANIFESTATION OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE HAS BEEN GIVEN ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY WITH WHICH TO RULE THE WHOLE WORLD. HE THEREFORE HAS NOT COME AS A PREACHER OR PROPHET OR A MESSENGER, BUT AS A KING WITH POWER AND AUTHORITY TO RULE HEAVEN AND EARTH. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME TODAY, TOMORROW, AND FOREVER. (Heb 13:8). The first Christ was given superintendency over the fishes in water, the birds of the air, the animals in
  • 54.
    the bushes, thetrees and all the things created by God. Since that time that the authority was given to Him, has He been dethroned? Or has that authority been taken away from Him? He came back to continue His kingship in the kingdom of His Father which endures forever. At that time His itinerary was not made a matter of: "no cross, no crown." IN THE SAME MANNER HE HAS COME AGAIN, NOT ANSWERING JESUS, BUT WITH A NEW NAME AND WITH A ROD OF IRON TO RULE THE WORLD. HE HAS COME WITH A NEW NAME WHICH IS WRITTEN BENEATH HIS GARMENT WHICH NO ONE KNOWS EXCEPT HIMSELF. Those of you who question why the Father has not revealed this wisdom to the entire world, have you forgotten Herod's intention and plans when he heard that a king was born? To make sure that he had no rival and no other person reigned during his life-time, Herod ordered that all male children of particular ages be killed. That shows you how wonderful man is. But unfortunately for man, God is all-knowing. If God were to disclose to the world, like it was done in the case of Jesus Christ, human beings and governments would rise up in arms against such a
  • 55.
    person. Nobody knowswhether he is black or white for now. As the heaven is higher than the earth, so also has God's wisdom surpassed man's. (Isa 55:9). How will you be able to know this person who is destined to rule the world with a rod of iron and who has been trusted with all power and authority in heaven and on earth? It is written that he will come like a thief in the night. (1 Thes 5:2). A fool at forty is said to be a fool forever. Being fooled once is understandable; but to be fooled a second time means you are a fool forever. God has since realized that messengers and prophets and even His Begotten Son, He has been sending down end up being slain by man. That is why this time around, He has decided to come by Himself and with full grace. His advent has therefore eluded the entire world. The world is wasting its time, energy and money to visit the sun, moon, and stars and the rest of the planets to investigate and try to find out this mystery. They are merely wasting their time because power and authority over all the planets is in the hands of this being whose identity they are trying to unravel.
  • 56.
    If your enemyintends to go to war with you and he has one thousand soldiers while you have only twenty, the only remedy is for you to go and make peace with him. Initially the world had thought this kingdom to be a thing to joke with. But they have realized that it is not something to toy with. When a child is born in the world, the people will try to investigate through various ways to know what kind of a person that child will grow up to be. If they realize that the child is likely to be prominent, they will find one way or the other to eliminate that child. For those who are awaiting the arrival of Our Lord Jesus Christ from the sky, if it should happen like that what do you think the enemies would do? Would they allow Him to land at all? And if He has to land at all, where will He land? With the human laws over the land, sea and air, where will the people allow Him to land? The same thing that happened to the Israelites and the people of old is repeating itself today. It was stated in their books that Elijah shall come before the Messiah. (Matt 11:10-15). To make matters worse for them, Elijah was taken up in the manner that was known by the people, and because

    of that allof them expected him to come back in that manner before the arrival of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore when Christ the Messiah arrived without the appearance of Elijah as stated in their books, the people disbelieved Him. Even up till now, the Israelites are still expecting the arrival of Elijah. Their hearts were further hardened to enhance their disbelief because of their ill will and evil intentions. The same thing continues today. The people failed to know that John the Baptist who was brought forth by Elisabeth, was the Elijah who had come to herald the coming of Jesus Christ (Matthew 11:14/ Mark 9:11- 13). Herod ask the wise men to inform him after seeing the new-born king so that he too could go and worship him. If the wise men had gone back to inform him, would Herod not have gone straight, or sent soldiers, to kill Him? AS GOD HID THAT KNOWLEDGE OF THE NEW KING FROM THAT GENERATION, SO ALSO HAS HE HIDDEN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE IRON ROD RULER FROM THE PRESENT GENERATION. He has said in John 14: 19 that, "Yet a little while the world seeth me no more; but ye see me; because I live, ye shall live also." Therefore when you pray
  • 58.
    God to revealthis mystery to the whole world, do you imagine what eyes they would want to see this kingdom with? THOSE WHOM HE DESIRES TO SEE AND TO KNOW HIM HE HAS REVEALED HIMSELF UNTO THEM. The worldly people are unbelievers and they do not like the truth. If you want to pass through a place where your enemies are, you have to do so quietly. Equally, if you want to go and rob somebody and you set off from your house with a bell and a public address system, ringing and shouting as you walk ahead, before ever you reach your destination, information shall have reached him and he would appropriately get himself ready for you or he would simply flee the house. He has come like a thief to surprise and arrest all who do not believe in Him and also resist His governance. In any case, what concerns us today is the revelation of the angel about the man-child and what will happen. The angel did not say that He will descend from the sky. The meaning of the passage is that: AS HE CAME AS A MAN, IN LIKE MANNER, SHALL HE COME BACK. Man has eyes but cannot see, has ears but cannot hear, and the mind but cannot perceive. Their hearts have further been
  • 59.
    hardened so thatthey would continue in their ignorance. EVEN AS THE MESSIAH WAS BROUGHT FORTH BY A WOMAN, SO ALSO SHALL THE ONE WHO WILL RULE THE WORLD WITH A ROD OF IRON BE BROUGHT FORTH BY A WOMAN. ALL POWER, AUTHORITY AND GLORY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO HIM. IF THEREFORE YOU SAY YOU CANNOT WORSHIP MAN, BUT YOU PREFER TO WORSHIP STONES, TREES, WATER, LEAF, OR SAND, HAS GOD EVER GIVEN HIS POWER TO THESE ELEMENTS AS HE GAVE MAN? This thing is not revealed to you so that you will go and preach to unbelievers. It is revealed to you in the first place as one who has been called in here to share in the marriage feast and also so that you will gird up your loins. The disciples of Our Lord Jesus Christ asked Him why He spoke to other people in parables, but spoke to them, the disciples, in plain language? He told them it been written that he who has little, the same will be taken away from him and added to that of the person who has much. (Matt 25:29).God has further blinded the eyes and blocked the ears of those who doubt and disbelieve so that they will not see and hear. He has also hardened
  • 60.
    their hearts thatthey may not believe. But He has opened the eyes and ears of those who are His children and broadened their minds to understand His injunctions and obey and to behold his glory.

I DID NOT COME IN THIS ADVENT TO SEE PEOPLE. I have earlier told you that any claim of going to see the Holy Father is wrong and merely induces cynical amusement within me as that does not arise at all in this Kingdom of God. I did not come in this advent to see people. THE SCRIPTURE HINTS THAT BLESSED IS HE WHO BELIEVES WITHOUT SEEING AND IF YOU BELIEVE GOD, YOU WILL KEEP YOUR PHYSICAL DISTANCE AND AVOID THE IDLE CURIOSITY OF GOING TO HOVER AROUND TO SEE HIM, HOLD CONVERSATION WITH HIM, ETC. If you are imbued with the fear of God, you will keep a clear distance and you will not dare venture towards God. I insist that you fear

    God. Thousands whofear God are now everywhere .You cannot venture towards the Most High God no matter the billions you are bringing Him. God takes no delight in your worldly position, possessions, power, including other appurtenances, but the belief and fear you accord Him and the reverential fear due to Him. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER, AND SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR EVERLASTING GOSPEL: HOW DO YOU FEAR AND HONOR GOD …………………………………………………………………………… THE LEADER IS NO RESPECTER OF ANY PERSON *OURS IS REGARDED AS A NEWLY BORN BABY CHILD. AND I ACCEPT THAT POSITION. WHAT PLEASES ME IS THAT AT NO POINT IN TIME HAS ANY PERSON SUCCEEDED TO OUTWIT THE FATHER. RATHER, THE FATHER HAS ALWAYS DEFEATED THE SO-CALLED INTELLECTUALS, PROFESSORS, HIGHLY-PLACED AND OTHER ESTEEMED PERSONS TO THE SOCIETY. * YOU ARE TAUGHT THAT BROTHERHOOD NEITHER KEEPS MOURNING HOUSES, NOR HOLDS MEMORIAL SERVICES, NO CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS. ALL THINGS ARE THE SAME BUT
  • 62.
    WHY DO YOUATTEND 'MEMORIAL SERVICES, KEEP MOURNING HOUSES, AND COMMIT OTHER EVIL THINGS ARE YOU A LIAR? Golden Text: Galatians 2:14 "But when I saw that they worked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, if thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as the Jews?" Do you realize that the philosophical overtone of what has been read to you! It is said, "If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?" In the same vein, if you claim to be a Brotherhood, you know that. Brotherhood neither indulges in the preparation of concoction nor commits fornication, nor quarrels, but you as a Brotherhood member are still quarrelling, become exasperated, indulge in the preparation of concoction, tell lies, where lies the wisdom which
  • 63.
    you teach thepeople of the world to refrain from quarrelling, anger, and other evil acts? Brotherhood subsumes righteousness You visit hotels and there is a Brotherhood member there. You attend disco jamborees and there is a Brotherhood person there wearing long hats. A Brotherhood still institutes court action against people, quarrels, fights and commits other atrocities. But he goes about preaching the kingdom of God to people to forsake sin. You want the people to refrain from committing acts of sin but you are neck-deep in sinfulness. What is the wisdom to toe such a line? Practise what you preach You profess that there exists no concoction or juju, that people should not go to hospitals for treatment, that people should not be administered with injections, but tomorrow you are found in a hospital to the surprise of those you had preached that such a tendency is bad. Why did you preach to them to forsake receiving medical treatment? That is the ‘why’ you are baptized as deceivers. And that is the reason you shrink into your shells when you find people go for treatments in hospitals. Consider Paul
  • 64.
    as a casein point. He suffered from ‘infirmity of the flesh’ but because he had preached to people against receiving treatment from hospitals, he was reluctant to go for a surgical operation. And therefore he died with this ‘infirmity of the flesh.’ The word of God is not an easy task. If you say that somebody should not tell lies, it is incumbent on you not to tell lies. If you say that somebody should not steal, why do you indulge in theft? If you show such a behavioural pattern, it means that you are baseless. Do you realize the intricacies involved in practicing the word of God? Peter who had been with our Lord Jesus Christ went and ate things sacrificed unto idols. By so doing, the other Jews dissembled likewise with his in so much that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. Be doers of the word and not hearers only Paul who was not privileged to be in company of our Lord Jesus Christ in the flesh did not fail to
  • 65.
    reprimand Peter, 'Butwhen I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, ‘If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?" It is neither the hearers of the word, nor the preachers of the word who shall be saved, but all those who practise the word of God shall have salvation. YOU ARE TAUGHT THAT BROTHERHOOD NEITHER KEEPS MOURNING HOUSES, NOR HOLDS MEMORIAL SERVICES, NOR CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS. ALL THINGS ARE THE SAME BUT WHY DO YOU ATTEND 'MEMORIAL SERVICES, KEEP MOURNING HOUSES, AND COMMIT OTHER EVIL THINGS, ARE YOU A LIAR? That is why people speculate that you in Brotherhood have not seen God as a truth. That explains why your brothers, sisters friends refuse to follow you into Brotherhood. For that construes that you are fooling around and that you are yet to come by the truth. If You Refrain from Sins Many Will Follow You If you had realized this truth, you would throw away all juju and diabolical things, you would forsake fornication, drinking and all the abominable life
  • 66.
    patterns you werewallowing in hitherto, and would have declared, to follow God in the correct perspective. You then preach that people should follow God and it is a truism they are bound to tow that line. You will realize a massive following because the people will come to the realization that you have refrained forthwith from committing fornication, ladies will come to you only to see you turn them down. Men will come to you to offer kick- backs and you reject their offers. With the turn of events, people are bound to believe in you.' What I am preaching regarding reproving people of their wrong doings is what I intend to take up with the Archbishops, Reverends, and others who claim to be the first established church denomination. It is true that they were the first to come to such a knowledge, but what I am interested in is why they still drink, commit fornication, and snuff. What have they been preaching to the people? That is the argument which disgraces them. And I back my assertions with appropriate quotations from the Holy Scriptures. They claim to be the first to have people to forsake sins when they are swimming in the ocean of sinfulness?
  • 67.
    Preach the Wordof God, Rebuke, Reprove, Exhort, Advise and Admonish Brethren, God is not respecter of persons. When Paul heard that Peter was eating things sacrificed unto idols which caused the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation, he went and reprimanded him and others for not walking uprightly according to the truth of the gospel." You have the right to reprove any person or any church denomination in the whole world if they do not follow the truth of the gospel. That is our work. LOOK AT THE CHERUBIM AND SERAPHIM CHURCH, THEY ARE NOW WEARING WHITE BECAUSE THEY REGARD THE FATHER AS THEIR LEADER. And that is what is expected of all church denominations in the whole world. Gradually, these denominations will be transformed into the true Brotherhood. What have you been doing when you go to them? Have you not been reproving them for carrying amulets on their bodies? The Leader is No Respecter of Any Person
  • 68.
    They claim thatthe Leader is no respecter of anybody. A former governor once came here. And I asked him why he should call himself a governor and yet he had no wife in the house but rather flirts about. I made this remark openly to him because I was interested in his salvation. No matter the station of any person in life whether he is a governor, president or whatever his position, it is your bounden duty to reprove and rebuke them once he derails from the path of rectitude. But in your own case, you always feign shy in the presence of such persons. This is precisely what is expected of you in doing God’s work. Your reproving them does not flood away their highly esteemed positions. RATHER, IT ENSURES THAT ALL PERSONS WALK ACCORDING TO THE TEACHINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. THIS IS THE HUB AROUND WHICH MY PROBLEM WITH ALL OF YOU TURNS. Brethren, you can then realize that the work is yet to start. So long as you still persist in sinfulness, what will you preach to others? You go about telling people that you want to offer them prayers, calling on God to send down His power. THE PERSON HIMSELF CAN PRAY. BUT IT IS YOUR PLACE TO
  • 69.
    SHOW HIM THEWRONGS HE HAS BEEN COMMITTING. Can one fetch water with a basket? If a hole is made in this house and you are required to fill the house with water, will you be able to fill it? Till dooms-day, the house will not be filled with water. Because as you pour in water, it will run out into the ground via the hole. The same holds true with the person who is a fornicator. You will anoint him with oil, beat him thrice on the head and pray over him. But all this spiritual work will be to no avail because of his continued indulgence in fornication. The Aim of Brotherhood A necromancer is also in the same shoes. You will anoint him with oil, give him the Holy Water to drink and pray God to send down His power on him. All your efforts will prove abortive if you do not first tell him to do away with all his diabolical materials, to refrain from fornication and to stop drinking. The moment he forsakes such evil tendencies, you have saved his soul. You can realize that what is the problem of all the inhabitants of the world is their reluctance to wash their hands off committing evil
  • 70.
    acts. That iswhy we are looking for land to build our own Brotherhood world where only righteousness will dwell, and where we will live according to the will of God. WE DO NOT WANT TO POUR LIBATION FOR WE HAVE NO OTHER GOD THAN THE WORD OF GOD, TO PRACTISE THE WORD OF GOD IN ITS CORRECT PERSPECTIVE. THAT IS THE AIM OF BROTHERHOOD. In all the church denominations, Bishops, Reverends, Pastors, Apostles, Prophets, Elders do give the Holy Bible to people to swear. Why should they swear to an oath? For our Lord Jesus Christ had said, "But above all things, my brethren swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: But let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation." Is the Holy Bible meant to be sworn to or to be read? I am patiently waiting for the established church denominations, the famous theologians, the great scientists to come and let us settle down to discuss the scriptures. OURS IS REGARDED AS A NEWLY BORN BABY CHILD. AND I ACCEPT THAT POSITION.
  • 71.
    WHAT PLEASES MEIS THAT AT NO POINT IN TIME HAS ANY PERSON SUCCEEDED TO OUTWIT THE FATHER. RATHER, THE FATHER HAS ALWAYS DEFEATED THE SO-CALLED INTELLECTUALS, PROFESSORS, HIGHLY-PLACED AND OTHER ESTEEMED PERSONS TO THE SOCIETY. Whatever you are, I will stop at nothing to reprove you. Notwithstanding your string of degrees, they do not hold any importance before me. But I will rebuke and reprove you for committing any evil act. I will question why you are not baptized when you profess to be a Bishop, Professor or a person of high status in life. And they will prostrate on the ground accepting their foolishness. How I wish that the son should resemble his father. Unfortunately this has proved incongruous. But we have only one commandment. It is said, "They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick." That is what is holding in this kingdom. It is for this reason that our Lord Jesus Christ had said, "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draws him: and I will raise him up at the last day." This is what I am waiting for.

    Brethren, I donot intend to be tedious unto you. It is said that one stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. Those who have ears, let them hear. May God bless His holy words, Amen. BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER, AND SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR Excerpt from the gospel: REBUKE BEFORE ALL …………………………………………………………………………… GOD USES THE BASE THINGS OF THIS LIFE TO CONFOUND THE WISEDOM OF THE WISE: GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 16:7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you I go away, The Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart I will send him unto you. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS IMPORTANT: The above statement is worthy of consideration. The statement does not mean journey to another land. By going away, Christ was indirectly referring to his death. The question is, if he had not gone away, would the Comforter
  • 73.
    come? Now, ifthe Comforter had not come into the world, what would have been the position of the world today? Man’s invention and postulation have not brought any salvation to the world. The Holy Spirit has come to unite the whole world, and to bring about one language, one system of government, one currency and one spirit. He is sufficient onto all, and there shall be no color, or age distinction. As he saith in Hosea, I will call them my people, which were not my people; And her beloved, which was not beloved. (Romans 9:25). God also promised to use the base things of the world to disgrace the wise. It is his pleasure to manifest his promise upon the lowly-placed. He would not use the educated, or the rich so that they will not consider obtaining the Holy Spirit and his power on merits, or on the basis of their education or wealth. No parents who is well-to-do and educated, would allow their child to perform the “menial” jobs of the Holy Spirit. As a result of this, God decided to use the illiterate, the poor and the sick, to fulfill his will. For example, if Christ were born to Pharaoh, or Pontius Pilate, or Caesar, or any of the Emperors and Kings, would they have allowed him to do God’s work? Therefore, for the fulfillment of God’s will the Lord was born into an unknown poor and priestly family. If God made it so for the good of mankind, what is bad about that?
  • 74.
    Many people whoare able to bring about wonderful works, are the have-nots and the destitute. This is indeed a lucky generation; because Christ has promised that this generation will not pass away until his promises come to pass. Have his promises not been coming to pass one after the other? Stop condemning any person or situation. All events occur by God’s arrangement. Before Esau and Jacob were born, it was prophesied that the eldest shall serve the youngest. Esau did his utmost to maintain his position as the first born, but lost it to Jacob. That was the handiwork of God. Therefore, do not try to use your power or knowledge to change God’s plans. IN HIS INFINITE WISDOM AND POWER, GOD WILL AT THE END TURN THE WORLD AROUND AND BIND ALL RACES TOGETHER. Africa is richly blessed and loved by God. The whites have read the handiwork on the wall and have discovered that Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is the only place where God could be worshipped in Spirit and in truth. A few Reverend gentlemen from Europe who came to Africa to make the discovery went back and advised their congregation. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is open to all. Here, we practice oneness, irrespective of one’s position, color sex, or ability to practice the gospel. The whites, nonetheless, have a long way to go as regards to the practice of the gospel. Their arrogance which stem out of their wealth and civilization, had denied them God’s wisdom and power. The blacks should however, not sieze
  • 75.
    this privilege todespise or challenge the whites because it is not of anybody’s making. We should only praise God and thank him for his wonderful works. A word is enough for the wise, may God bless his Holy words. Amen! THANK YOU HOLY FATHER! SERMON DELIVERED BY THE SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU EXCERPT FROM: ALL THING ARE GOOD …………………………………………………………………………… PILATE FOUND NO FAULT IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST *WARFARE: RIGHT FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL THE PEOPLE WHO WAGED WAR AGAINST GOD ARE THOSE WHO PROFESS TO KNOW HIM.

    CONVICT THEM HARD,THERE HAS TO BE ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE AND SUBSEQUENT BREAK IN TRANSMISSION OF THE BROADCAST. BUT IF IT IS A SATANIC PROGRAM, THEY WILL SHOW IT TILL THE END WITHOUT ANY TRANSMISSION INTERRUPTION. SECOND BIBLE LESSON: LUKE 17: 25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. Whom was this written about? To whom does this prophecy refer? It is said that first he must suffer many things and be rejected of this generation; this generation must reject him. Did they not say that it was Moses they knew? But as for that man he was from the devil and no person should listen to him. The whole world is shouting Jesus, Jesus, but did they not reject Him? Did your fathers and mothers not reject Him? Today who can show me one disciple of Our Lord Jesus Christ? Who among you keeps His commandments? Bring that person before me. When Lazarus was sick, his sisters went and told Christ that the friend whom he loved was sick. And he answered them and said: “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of man might be glorified.” And he
  • 77.
    went about hisown business. After about four days, He said to His disciples, “Our friend Lazarus is asleep; let us go that I may awake him out of sleep.” Then said the disciples, Lord if he sleeps, he shall wake up. He then told them plainly that Lazarus had died; nevertheless let us go and raise him. (John 11:14-15) Peter was excited because that was the sort of thing he was waiting to see. And they asked Him: “Master the Jews of late sought to stone thee, and do you want to go there again?(John 11:7-8) Jesus never went out openly to declare He was the Christ. He went in the company of His disciples, and they all wore the same garments so that He may not be identified. When He healed any sick person, He would warn him not to tell anyone. That is the rejected stone. HE IS THE ALMIGHTY GOD, THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS WHO CAME TO SAVE YOU THIEVES AND SINNERS BUT YOU REJECTED HIM. PUT YOURSELVES INTO FERVENT PRAYERS. I do not want to go far into that but you know what happened when He raised Lazarus from death. The whole city was in an uproar. Then gathered the Chief Priest and the Pharisees and said:
  • 78.
    “If we letthis continue like this, all men would believe in him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. Caiaphas stood up as the high priest and said: Ye know nothing at all, nor consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.” Because he raised Lazarus and healed the sick, the blind, the lame and the deaf, because he cleansed lepers, fed the poor and did every good thing, they said that He must die. Can you see how the world thanked God for coming to save them? He would first suffer many things and be rejected of this generation and that was exactly the situation with Him. IT WAS NOT THE GOVERNMENT THAT KILLED OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. IT WAS NOT THE JUJU PRIESTS WHO CLAIMED TO KNOW THE REAL GOD BETTER THAN ALL OTHERS. IT WAS NOT THE ROMANS WHO KILLED HIM; THAT WAS WHY PILATE ASKED HIM: “AM I A JEW? WAS IT NOT YOUR OWN PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT YOU HERE? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?” TODAY THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING: THE CHURCHES WHO CLAIM TO KNOW GOD BETTER ARE THOSE WHO ARE CONSPIRING AND ASKING WHAT THEY ARE TO DO WITH THIS MAN BECAUSE HE IS STILL PERFORMING WONDERS.
  • 79.
    WHEN PILATE HADEXAMINED HIM, HE COULD FIND NO FAULT IN HIM. Barabbas was a murderer and at every festival a criminal had to be freed. Pilate asked which of the two he should release unto them, Barabbas or Jesus? They answered that he should release Barabbas to them and crucify Jesus. They sought for the release of Barabbas even though every person knew that he was a murderer, a thief, and an evil doer; they demanded that Jesus should be killed. And Pilate asked them: What has He done? But they said crucify him. Can you see that? It is said that first he must suffer many things and this generation will reject Him. Because of giving sight to the blind and healing the sick, the Chief Priest and the Pharisees, those who claimed they had seen God face to face, said they knew Abraham and Moses and NOT Jesus. Those were the people who said that He should be crucified because He was a sinner. THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT MAKE TROUBLE, THEY SEEK PEACE. RIGHT FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL THE PEOPLE WHO WAGED WAR AGAINST GOD ARE THOSE WHO PROFESS TO KNOW HIM. AND SO IT WAS WITH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. PILATE TRIED
  • 80.
    AS MUCH ASPOSSIBLE TO RELEASE HIM BUT THE JEWS INSISTED ON HAVING HIM KILLED. PILATE SET UP OVER HIS HEAD HIS ACCUSATION WRITTEN: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS. THEN SAID THE CHIEF PRIEST OF THE JEWS TO PILATE, WRITE NOT THE KING OF THE JEWS, BUT THAT HE SAID I AM KING OF THE JEWS. PILATE ANSWERED AND SAID, “WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN, I HAVE WRITTEN.” Brethren, have you assessed the situation properly. That is why he said, “Why do you call me Lord, Lord but you do not the things I command you?” He knew that there was not one single person who believed in Him. The work of God is not subject to any person’s decision. It is either you shoot the gun and split the barrel rather than lose the prey. There was not one person who believed in Our Lord Jesus Christ. If there is such a person, mention him. If you want to mention Peter, I will remind you that he was the first person to deny Our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Excerpt from thegospel:THE CRUCIFIXION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. …………………………………………………………………………… THE TRUTH HAS COME TO STAY That is why Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is called Christ Universal Spiritual School of Practical Christianity. Nothing is added or subtracted and there is no studying but a practical demonstration of the truth of things. As God has rightly said, any person who adds any word to His word of prophesy will have all the afflictions in the Bible and will have his name removed from the book of life. Here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star nobody adds and subtracts and this is why our Lord Jesus Christ said that the Comforter will reveal to you all the truth. It is wrong to say that Leader O.O. Obu said this or that, but say that our Lord Jesus Christ said it. That is why when people read through our publications, they would tell you that the Leader has confirmed that He is not Christ and now what are you talking about? It is Christ that had said, continues to say and will say everything forever. The Passover will be prepared and eaten tonight and as soon as you eat it, you have taken on yourself the sins of the world, and you will surrender your lives as
  • 82.
    ransom for thesalvation of the world as our Lord Jesus did. That is why on Wednesday we have the Bible Class, Watch And Pray till 3 a.m. At 6 a.m. on Thursday starts the fasting depicting the time He was sentenced to death and later nailed to the Cross at 9 am. We have no other work to do but to unveil the events of that day to those who were not there. You may have been there when this event happened and that is why it is always said that we of the olden times have come back again.(John 15:26- 27) BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU THE SOLE SPIRITUALHEAD OF THE UNIVERSE BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR. EXCERPT FROM: WHEN WAS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED? ……………………………………………………………………………………… BIBLE BASED TEACHINGS: ALL THE THINGS I TELL YOU ARE WHAT YOU WILL FIND STATED IN THE BIBLE 1st Lesson: 1 Timothy 5:20
  • 83.
    "Them that sinrebuke before all, that others also may fear." How many of you here practise that portion of the Bible read to you? Some people are fornicating, some are stealing. Who has ever rebuked another? Some are quarrelling and some are fighting. Who is there to advise the other person not to do so? Rebuke, But Do Not Hate I have taught you everything about this Kingdom. The knowledge you have acquired should equip you with the ability to rebuke a person whose behaviour does not reflect the teachings of this Kingdom. You have the full right to rebuke any person. This is not to suggest that you should abuse him, or beat him or keep mute with him. You are instead told to rebuke him, and show him where he had gone wrong. If you go through First Step To God alone, you will know what we are saying. Like you have been told of how that Pastor goes about with a ring, it is quite true that many are still putting on rings. But these rings have no powers. These things bring ill-luck, death, and suffering to them. You will hear them complain, that they have been to Brotherhood but
  • 84.
    they are stillbeset with problems. The fact is that they are still drinking, consulting oracles, preparing concoction, taking court action against people and because of these they still suffer. I have no concern in what they do because those who assimilate this Gospel, angels and men alike abiding by the provisions of the First Step, are doing the work. Brotherhood Spreads Like Wild Fire There is money, wealth, and employment opportunities here but we are looking for truthful persons. The Kingdom of God is all joy, love, peace, patience, mercy, truth, temperance and meekness. There is no sinfulness in it, neither can it enter in. Brotherhood is not affiliated to any organization or person. It stands all alone. It is the Kingdom of God. It is quite another Kingdom altogether. It exists forever. You will notice that as the years pass by, Brotherhood expands. A time will come when the whole world will be enveloped. As the years pass by, so does it expand with leaps and bounds. It is for us to teach this love to those in the world. Teach this patience to our brethren here who continue to quarrel, show them their mistakes.
  • 85.
    Those who continueto beat up their children, and tell lies and commit any sin; show them their mistakes, for their own good. If you continue to sin, you will he driven out of the Kingdom not by any human being but by angels. Rebuke Whoever Sins Brethren, from now on, whether you are a Deaconess, or a Prophet, or a Pastor or whatever you are, rebuke yourself if you do not practise the Gospel of God. Rebuke your child, and your husband if they do not practise this word of God. Without causing any quarrel, point out their mistakes. If they do not accept, leave them to their ways. WE DO NOT COME HERE TO ACT ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTIVES OF OUR SPIRITS. WE DO NOT COME HERE TO PLEASE OURSELVES. It is for you to practise the Gospel given to you here because angels are taking down all that is delivered. What matters is for you to comply implicitly with what you are taught without adding nor subtracting anything. Always Walk Circumspectly The world is bamboozled at the situation of things in the world. The children of God have no cause for
  • 86.
    alarm because itis said the wages of sin, i.e. lies, stealing, charms, animosity, fornication, murder, and so forth, is death, wretchedness, war, and this suffering is meant for all the inhabitants of the world. Do not carry the property of any person without the owner’s consent, be it your husband, your wife, your child, your brother or sister, or your friend. Do not take anything except it is given to you by the owner, if you do, then, it means you are a thief. Do not murmur against any person. Do not impute sins on a person like you. The only thing you have to do is that whoever does not follow the teachings you have received here, show him his mistakes so that everybody will see the light and those who had derailed with him may turn back to the path of rectitude. The Wages of Sin Is Death There is no day I have spoken my own words. All the things I tell you are what you will find stated in the Bible which God tells us to practice the word of God. I have never told you that I say one thing or the other. What brings death is fornication. What brings death is idolatry. What brings death is stealing and
  • 87.
    telling of lies.It is said, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me. THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE, OR ANY LIKENESS OF ANY THING THAT IS IN THE EARTH BENEATH, OR THAT IS IN THE WATER UNDER THE EARTH. THOU SHALT NOT BOW DOWN THYSELF TO THEM, NOR SERVE THEM." WHEN YOU CONSULT ORACLES AND SORCERERS, SWEAR BY YOUR BODIES, AND PRACTISE THEIR INSTRUCTIONS, YOU ONLY INVOKE THE WRATH OF GOD UPON YOURSELVES. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not fornicate. A man should only take to one woman. But when you indulge in fornication or adultery, you have put yourself into a very serious trouble which attracts death, sickness, wretchedness and tribulations to you. The Origin Of Sin WHAT YOU HAVE NOW IS THE REVISION OF THE LESSONS TAUGHT YOU RIGHT FROM THE TIME OF ADAM. THIS REVISION BECOMES NECESSARY SINCE AT THIS END OF TIME AND THE FINAL EXAMINATION IS IMMINENT. IT IS NECESSARY
  • 88.
    THAT YOU BEREMINDED OF ALL THE THINGS TAUGHT BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THE PROPHETS' RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING. IT IS TIME TO PUT THEM INTO PRACTICE. WHOEVER DOES NOT PRACTISE THESE GOSPELS WILL BE EXPELLED FROM THIS KINGDOM. HE WILL NOT BE WORTHY OF IT AND CONSEQUENTLY WILL NOT ENTER IN. You should not seek for the advice of men. Adam and Eve were commanded to eat of all the fruits of the trees in the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they should not eat lest they would die. Since they ate of the fruit of the tree, sin, death and tribulation befell them. I HAVE NOT COME TO PRAY FOR PEOPLE. I HAVE NOT COME TO PREACH TO PEOPLE. I HAVE COME TO SIT DOWN TO WATCH THE GLORY OF GOD. THE ANGELS ARE DOING EVERYTHING. THE FATHER, SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS DOING EVERYTHING TO JUDGE THE WORLD, TO ARRANGE EVERYTHING AND TO BESTOW JOY. I HAVE ONLY COME WITH JOY. BUT NOW YOU HAVE CAUSED ME TO REPEAT EVERYTHING, PREACH EVERY GOSPEL AND SHOW YOU ALL THINGS. I
  • 89.
    HAVE DONE THESEOVER AND OVER AGAIN, BUT YOU REMAIN ADAMANT. THE ONLY THING LEFT NOW IS FOR ME TO LOCK THE DOOR. IN FUTURE IF YOU COME HERE, YOU WILL NO LONGER SEE ME. THERE WILL BE NO MORE HOLY OIL OR WATER. NO PRAYERS NOR SERMONS WILL BE GIVEN ANY LONGER. YOU CANNOT COMPARE MY WORK TO THE WORK OF ANY OTHER PERSON IN THE WHOLE WORLD, BECAUSE THIS IS A DIFFERENT WORLD ALTOGETHER; IT IS A NEW WORLD. NONE OF YOU KNOWS WHAT IS IN THIS KINGDOM. IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT ALONE WHO IS AT WORK. You should prostrate on the ground, doing as you are instructed; expressing love, not getting exasperated, not becoming fastidious. That is all you ought to do. Launching Will be Proscribed Right now, I am going to discontinue certain things. The rate of launchings that are done will be reduced. You do not have any kobo at home but you will want to do launching. Does that not amount to borrowing from Peter to pay Paul? In this kingdom, whoever on
  • 90.
    whom God hasbestowed any gifts, should use the gifts judiciously in God’s service. If he refuses to give to you, remain calm and do not disturb yourself any longer. I have not yet exhibited my true colour. I know the meaning of launching. It is self-help venture, seeking for means of feeding yourself. It is not a Brotherhood affair. The Scriptures say, "And God hath set some in the 'church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, governments, diversities of tongue." The Father had pre-arranged everything according to needs. We have no need to pray God to do this or that. In respect of the New Jerusalem building, one person has volunteered to build it without asking a kobo from others. But others say he should not. They have not done so themselves; and this year is running past. Whom will you blame? I had intentionally allowed you your way. I intend to use my possessions at will but Satan says I should not. At the same time, the thing is not done by him. Does it mean the project will be left halfway? Within a short time I am going to put an end to that insult. I will soon tell that child of mine to go and construct
  • 91.
    what he intended.You lack the ability and the expression of love. Go and build it you would not, let the owner do it his own way, you would not. When people visit Biakpan, they will be scattered all over. What is the sense of doing that? Diversities of Gifts I have said right from the beginning that this place is not like secular set-ups. One person can volunteer here and purchase an aeroplane for travelling. Somebody can buy a shop or a train or a car or a house for you. That is what exists in this Kingdom. Nobody struggles for anything, launching here and there, launching into your pockets and into other placebo. That is not the case. The Father owns everything. He does everything and gives people the ability. There is division of labour according to gifts of the Spirit. Some are cooks, and others engage in other jobs. We have no problem and there is no occasion of stumbling. This is the Kingdom of God. Many people think that this place is a refugee camp; that whoever lacks what to eat should come here for food. That assertion is misconstrued. Here in this
  • 92.
    Kingdom, all handsmust be on deck. It is said, do not feed the lazy, and eat no person’s food for nothing. You are not here to lazy about. You must have what to do. It is our tradition as recorded in the Holy Book. That is the teaching here. The lazy one is not fed and we do not eat any person’s food in vain. Do Not Feed The Idle This explains why we are looking for farm land, When we acquire the plots, healing homes where people go and hide claiming to be doing the Father’s work will be depopulated. Tools will be provided for you to work in the farm and at the end of the month you will be given your wages. It is from there that you will feed. All the useless things done in healing homes: stealing and doing other abominable things will stop. No lazy person will be fed. 2nd Thessalonians 3:6 – 15 makes it clear: Whoever is lazy, be he your child or your husband or your mother should not be fed if he refuses to work. Have no communion with him and at the same time do not quarrel with him. It is a grievous sin which you take lightly.

    Brethren, the HolyBible is the Ark of God’s Covenant. I quote my authority from it. Before you are driven away, I quote it from there. Whoever does not hear and would not practise the Word of God, you should have nothing to do with him. Send him out. Brethren, let our second lesson be read.

    doctrines, do notbelieve it. Do not believe in anybody Excepts what the Holy Spirit has told you. The Scriptures say, he who feels he is wise should remain a fool so that he may be wise. If you maintain this attitude, the scales will fall from your eyes. It is no use asking angels or men questions. All the Brotherhood publications are printed for your own use. The moment you comply with one gospel you are well. Do not believe in any man, but believe only in God. Believe in the teachings written in the books. Believe in God who created heaven and earth. Do not doubt the contents whether you have been here for twenty years or more, always be attentive to this one source. The teachings of God are written in black and white. Publications like "Brotherhood of Man," "Submit to your Rulers and "Flee from Fornication." Once you believe, you are alright. VISIONS LIKE RULING BIG CITIES LIKE CALABAR DO NOT BRING YOU SALVATION. YOU WANT GOD AND AT THE SAME TIME THE WEAK AND TEMPORARY THINGS OF THIS WORLD. Nothing in this world gives you peace. Man gives problems. Man cannot give you eternal life. Man is hating, persecuting, fearing and condemning another man. When the three wise men came to Herod, they did not know the evil thoughts nursed by him. He said He would also go and worship Our Lord Jesus Christ: Therefore the first and foremost thing in this kingdom is to receive the teaching of Our Father and put them into practice. You should forget about trying to advise any person. THE WORD OF GOD YOU
  • 95.
    HAVE RECEIVED HERE,YOU SHOULD ALSO USE IT TO LIBERATE THOSE IN THE DARK. DO NOT COME HERE TO LOOK FOR POSITIONS SUCH AS A PASTOR OR AN APOSTLE, CAN YOU DO THE WORK? YOU HAVE BEEN PROMOTED SO HIGH THAT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT OTHER POSITION TO PROMOTE YOU. PAUL THE APOSTLE SAID "I HAVE TO PRACTICE THE WORD OF GOD, SO THAT I AVOID A SITUATION WHERE THOSE I PREACHED TO DO GET SAVED AND I PERISH. I do not see or hear evil. If you do not practice the word of God, you cannot have peace. Some one who does not see evil, what will you do with such a person. No temptation comes my way, I see only joy, joy, joy. All the things you are after are nothing at all. What you are lacking is the word of God. But now you go to visioners in distant places, you do not want to practice the word of God. You want to look outside. All thee things happen because you want carnal things. GO AND TELL THEM WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN IN THE LEADER: In this kingdom of God you have been taught we are in a certain category. You cannot compare a member here to the people in the world. A sinner here is like Jesus Christ, compared to the people in the world. CHOOSE YOUR PARTNER AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. IF YOU FIND YOUR WAY OF LIFE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE
  • 96.
    OTHER PERSON’S WAYOF LIFE, LEAVE HIM AND FIND SOMEONE WITH THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS WITH YOU AND THE TWO OF YOU CAN MOVE TOGETHER. WE ARE NOT A CHURCH DENOMINATION BUT WE ARE GODS IN HUMAN FORM.(JOHN 10:34/PS82:6) GOD ALMIGHTY, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ARE ALL DWELLING IN YOU. Go to the orthodox churches and reveal this God to them. Go and tell them what you have seen in the Leader. Tell them of the great miracles of your Leader. Do not argue or dispute with anybody. Listen to the spirit and if the spirit directs you to go to a place, do so, but if it is at variance with Brotherhood of the Cross and Star doctrines, do not believe it. Do not believe in anybody Excepts what the Holy Spirit has told you. HIS SUPERNATURAL TEACHINGS: All the inhabitants of this world are one. Remember the statement of our Lord Jesus Christ that: HOW GREAT IS THE JOY IN HEAVEN OVER ONE SINNER WHO REPENTS THAN OVER NINETY-NINE WHO HAVE ALREADY REPENTED. CHANGING MAN IS THE ASSIGNMENT THE FATHER HAS COME TO ACCOMPLISH. NOW WE HAVE TWO, THREE PERSONS THAT IS WHY WE CAN SPEAK BOLDLY. I HAVE COME TO GIVE YOU THE WORD OF GOD, TO CHANGE YOU IN ORDER FOR YOU TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.

    There is money,wealth, but where are the truthful persons in this world? That is why I keep, preaching daily. Now we have so many persons who have changed. It is a supernatural Teacher that has a way of teaching you. You should not look upon the ordinary teachers of the world but practice love one another. BUY THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR PAMPHLETS, AND BELIEVE FIRMLY IN WHAT IS WRITTEN THEREIN. PRACTICE ALL THE WORDS OF THE FATHER, THE CONTENTS WILL BE TRANSLATED INTO MANY LANGUAGES. YOU ARE TAUGHT PEACE, TRUTH, LOVE, HUMILITY ETC. YOU ARE HARMING YOURSELF IF YOU FAIL TO PRACTICE THESE VIRTUES WHEREVER YOU GO.

IS GOD,” I WILL BE HAPPY WITH YOU. OTHERS THINK IF YOU
  • 98.
    TAKE MY PHOTOGRAPH,ENLARGE AND FRAME IT SO WELL, AND KISS OR WORSHIP IT, I WILL BE DELIGHTED. THIS IS ERRONEOUS. THIS IS NOT WORSHIPING GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. ALL GOD WANTS IS: HEARING AND PUTTING HIS WORD INTO PRACTICE, AND THAT IS, LOVING ONE ANOTHER. * The food for the Spiritual Council of Churches and the whole world is the lesson just read to you. I am happy that your hearts, eyes and ears are wide open to receive this lesson; GOD IS NOT A CAR, MONEY, HUMAN BEING, FISH, HE IS NOT THUNDER, NEITHER RAIN NOR SUN.

    * Any personwho does what he likes, wants his own glory, but if you do what you are sent to do, you seek the glory of him that sent you.( JOHN 5:30) . So if you want to worship God, put His words into practice. Obey whatever He tells you to do. FOR EXAMPLE: REFRAINING FROM EATING FISH AND MEAT CERTAINLY IMPLIES WORSHIPING GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. * WASHING OR BATHING IN THE BIAKPAN WATER, DANCING WITH BANNERS AND CANDLES ARE SERVING THE FLESH. * ALL THAT IS REQUIRED WAS PRACTICING THE WORD OF GOD.

    *.. Many ofyou here worship the dead. You spend huge sums of money you should have spent on the poor, and be blessed by God, on burial ceremonies. When a person is dead, he or she is gone. Why do you spend money on the dead? Leave the dead to bury the dead.. THE FATHER'S ADVICE No suggestions from anybody: The Father has to bring out suggestions and directives and not you yourselves. Whatever the Father brings is good, but whatever you bring out is counterfeit. You should try not to instruct the Father. Our spiritual food comes from John 4:24: "God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth." The food for the Spiritual Council of Churches and the whole world is the lesson just read to you. I am happy that your hearts, eyes and
  • 101.
    ears are wideopen to receive this lesson; GOD IS NOT A CAR, MONEY, HUMAN BEING, FISH, HE IS NOT THUNDER, NEITHER RAIN NOR SUN. But GOD IS THE WORD AND THOSE WHO WORSHIP HIM MUST DO SO BY PRACTICING HIS WORD. ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE WORD OF GOD AND PUT IT INTO PRACTICE. Pastor Ekon said he had an important issue, that is settling Pastor Kifi's hospital bill. And I ask, is that an important issue? The Father, has been preaching that we should have mercy on others. What then do you discuss in your meetings here in Ambo, and in other places? So, those who love God and worship Him do not make noise. They execute things without waiting for meetings to be convened. The theme of the gospels of this kingdom is to LOVE ONE ANOTHER.. God is the word and if you practice His word, you have honored Him. Once you have one Brotherhood
  • 102.
    of the Crossand Star pamphlet like "What is Brotherhood?" or "What is Cross?" or "What is Star?" it covers all that you must know, and practice, in order to be saved. When the Journalist visited here from Lagos the other day, I gave him a copy of the gospel on "What is Nigeria’s Ideology?" After going through it, he said it covered a lot of topics, and I explained that if Nigeria should practice LOVE, Nigeria would have no problems. Any person who does what he likes, wants his own glory, but if you do what you are sent to do, you seek the glory of him that sent you.( JOHN 5:30) . So if you want to worship God, put His words into practice. Obey whatever He tells you to do. FOR EXAMPLE: REFRAINING FROM EATING FISH AND MEAT CERTAINLY IMPLIES WORSHIPING GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. Recall the statement of that woman who said, "Blessed were
  • 103.
    the paps thatOur Lord Jesus Christ sucked and the womb that gave birth to Him." Again, recall the reply our Lord gave. He said, "MORE BLESSED IS THE PERSON WHO HEARS THE WORD OF GOD AND PUTS IT INTO PRACTICE.” *MANY OF YOU THINK WHEN YOU COME HERE AND SING THAT “0. 0. 0. IS GOD,” I WILL BE HAPPY WITH YOU. OTHERS THINK IF YOU TAKE MY PHOTOGRAPH, ENLARGE AND FRAME IT SO WELL, AND KISS OR WORSHIP IT, I WILL BE DELIGHTED. THIS IS ERRONEOUS. THIS IS NOT WORSHIPING GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. ALL GOD WANTS IS: HEARING AND PUTTING HIS WORD INTO PRACTICE, AND THAT IS, LOVING ONE ANOTHER. You are advised not to carry a burden that you cannot bear. The pastors could not settle a fellow pastor's hospital bill and yet God instructed that if you have two coats, you should give one to the person who has none.
  • 104.
    Be your brother'skeeper. Do not bother yourself with taking pictures and other useless things. This does not conform with what I am teaching you. Your preoccupation should be to “LOVE ONE ANOTHER.” PRESENTLY, I HAVE NOT SEEN LOVE IN YOU. YOU SHOULD NOT SHOW OFF YOUR MONEY BEFORE ME, GO TO THOSE IN NEED BECAUSE THE FATHER HIMSELF DOES NOT LACK. IT IS SAID IN THE SCRIPTURES, ''SO LONG AS YOU DO THIS FOR THE LITTLE ONE OR THE POOR, YOU HAVE DONE IT TO ME." (MATTHEW25:35-40). WASHING OR BATHING IN THE BIAKPAN WATER, DANCING WITH BANNERS AND CANDLES ARE SERVING THE FLESH. When our Lord was tempted thus, "is it good to pay tribute to Caesar or not?" He asked them to bring the coin and demanded to know whose inscription was on it. When they replied that it was Caesar’s He then instructed that they
  • 105.
    should give toCaesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's. The Father went on to say that we had been toiling, decorating the 34 Ambo Hall, but that was for the flesh and not for the spirit. ALL THAT IS REQUIRED WAS PRACTICING THE WORD OF GOD. THE FATHER IS NOT INTERESTED IN THE BUILDING OF BETHELS AND FURNISHING THEM WITH EXPENSIVE PEWS. ALL GOD WANTS IS THAT WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER.. FUNERAL: Many of you here worship the dead. You spend huge sums of money you should have spent on the poor, and be blessed by God, on burial ceremonies. When a person is dead, he or she is gone.

    BROTHERHOOD OF THECROSS & STAR PHOTOGRAPHS *THE ONLY PHOTOGRAPH THAT IS REQUIRED HERE IS LOVE ONE ANOTHER. *HIS PHOTOGRAPH SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE SO THEY CAN SEE WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE. YOU HAVE SEEN THE LEADER WITH YOUR NAKED EYES AND HAVE TOUCHED AND FELT HIM. WHAT AGAIN DO YOU DO WITH THE FATHER'S PHOTOGRAPH? HIS PHOTOGRAPH SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE SO THEY CAN SEE WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE. Your duty is to get into the world and preach and practice the word of God. What do you do with holy oil? You have been given power in heaven and on earth to say, "let," and death, sickness, or any other form of infirmities disappear. THE HOLY OIL IS MEANT TO BE USED ON THOSE WHO ARE OUTSIDE, AND THEY NEED YOUR HELP. In Brotherhood we do not count beads like Muslims, neither do we worship the Roman Catholic way. We are different from the rest of them and we have very special ways of doing our things. That woman in Enugu who claims to be the mother of Jesus or the Holy Father is telling lies. In fact she is not known as a Brotherhood member and therefore she has
  • 107.
    nothing to dowith Brotherhood. We do not require any other photograph, THE ONLY PHOTOGRAPH THAT IS REQUIRED HERE IS LOVE ONE ANOTHER. THE REASON WHY THE USE OF THE FATHER'S PHOTOGRAPH IS NOT WANTED IS THAT ROGUES AND SWINDLERS USE IT TO DECEIVE PEOPLE. A NON- BROTHERHOOD CAN BUY ONE AND KEEP IN HIS HOUSE AND WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT BROTHERHOOD HE PROMPTLY REMOVES IT FROM HIS SHELF AND TELLS YOU HE IS A BROTHERHOOD MEMBER AND KNOWS THE FATHER VERY WELL. Even some people who came here and got baptized and procured all the necessary baptismal membership card, etc. ARE NOT TRUE BROTHERHOOD MEMBERS. They do these things so that their dubious intentions may be enhanced. A GREAT MANY PEOPLE SEW THEIR WHITE AND WEAR AND MOVE ABOUT CLAIMING TO BE BROTHERHOOD MEMBERS. THEY ARE IN THE GROUP OF DECEIVERS. SECRET SOCIETIES: Henceforth, the injunction I have given shall continue to prevail: before anybody is baptized, he has to confess his or her sins in the first place and then denounce membership of every secret or traditional society he or she had belonged to. He also has to discard all his charms in his possession. Today what happens is that immediately someone
  • 108.
    comes around, evenwithout confessing his sins, he gets baptized, with all his charms and talisman all over his body. When you immerse that kind of a person into the water, is he baptized in the real sense and meaning of the exercise? You persuade people to get baptized so that their problems will be solved. EXCERPTS FROM: FATHER'S FAREWELL ADDRESS 1988 APRIL PENTECOSTAL ASSEMBLY. BY: LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER, AND SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR …………………………………………………………………………… THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS WHO IS TO JUDGE EVERY CREATURE IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH. * THE FACT REMAINS THAT GOD HAS NEVER REPEATED HIS OWN THING. IF SOMEBODY COMES TO TELL YOU THAT HE IS CHRIST, LEAVE HIM ALONE, AND PASS ON. CHRIST IS NOT COMING TO
  • 109.
    WALK FROM PLACETO PLACE. HE IS COMING AS THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. WHERE DOES HE HAVE TO MOVE TO? HE IS EVERYWHERE AND IT IS EITHER YOU SEE HIM OR YOU DO NOT SEE HIM. GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 1: 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. To whom does this refer? Who is that person who goes to his own but his own received him not? Do you not argue that God is not man? But God said, “LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR OWN IMAGE AFTER OUR LIKENESS.” THE “US” REFERS TO THE FATHER, SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. But now you argue that God is not man. Is he an animal or a rock? Is he an angel? Answer me, you wise men. HE CAME IN HIS OWN LIKENESS. HIS LIKENESS IS MAN. HE COMES AS A MAN AND ON EVERY 25TH DAY OF DECEMBER EVERYBODY EATS AND REJOICES THAT THE VIRGIN MARY HAS GIVEN BIRTH TO A BABY BOY. BUT NO PERSON BELIEVES IN HIM. And so the above scripture refers to Our Lord Jesus Christ, He came in
  • 110.
    the manger asa man. But did you receive Him? Who received Him? If he did not fill the boat of Peter with fishes, Peter would not have followed Him. When He told His disciples how he must go to Jerusalem and Chief Priest and Scribes, and be killed and raised again on the third day, Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him: This shall not be unto thee. Peter said this because he had read that Christ would not die, forever he will not die and so if Jesus was going to face death now it would mean that he, Peter, had made a mistake in following Him. Can you say that he knew or understood Our Lord Jesus Christ? That is one. Another thing is that all that Jesus spoke to them in public when they were alone, with Him, they would ask Him to explain to them. At another time, Peter said: We have left everything and followed you, what shall be our gain? Does that question show that Peter believed in Him? I can continue to cite instances to you to convince you that no person believed in Him; but He can use anything to manifest His own glory. THEY WERE FOLLOWING HIM BECAUSE HE WILLED IT SO; IT WAS NOT OUT OF THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF HIM THAT THEY FOLLOWED HIM. TAKE THE CASE OF JOHN
  • 111.
    THE BAPTIST WHOREVEALED HIM TO THE WHOLE OF ISRAEL AS THE CHRIST; DID HE NOT DENY CHRIST? Did he know Him? When he was put in prison by Herod, he remembered that the scriptures had said that when Christ came He would deliver the captives and set at liberty those that are bruised and so John consoled himself that Christ would come and remove him from prison immediately. But as he waited no person came; and so he sent two of his disciples unto Christ to find out if He was the expected one or they were to wait for another. Did John believe in Him? Do not joke with the Word of God. When you hear that a great multitude followed Jesus it was because of the bread and fish He used to feed them with. There was no person who followed Him with the conviction that He was God, or the Christ. UNLESS HE INJECTS HIS SPIRIT INTO YOU SO THAT YOU CAN PERCEIVE THIS TRUTH, YOU CANNOT KNOW HIM. HE CAN ENTER INTO YOU IN A MOMENT AND YOUR EYES WILL BECOME CLEAR AND HE WILL IMMEDIATELY CLOSE IT UP. HE CHANGES INTO ANOTHER FORM AND YOU WILL FALL BACK INTO YOUR DOUBT. GOD IS TERRIBLY WONDERFUL.
  • 112.
    Earthly things areused to illustrate heavenly things. If he did not make bread for the people to eat who would have listened to Him? His creature alone will follow Him. You have heard what He said: NO MAN KNOWS THE FATHER, EXCEPT HE SON, AND NO MAN KNOWS THE SON, EXCEPT THE FATHER AND TO WHOM HE WOULD REVEAL HIM. That is where the whole thing hangs. JESUS CHRIST IS HERE WITH THE FATHER. THEY ARE EATING AND WORKING WITH YOU BUT CAN YOU SEE THEM? You cannot see them, you do what you must do, as you have always done. Because it is said: HE CAME UNTO HIS OWN BUT HIS OWN RECEIVED HIM NOT. Did His brothers receive Him? DID THEY NOT REJECT HIM? JEHOVAH GOD AND HIS CHRIST IS THE REJECTED STONE. BUT IS HE NOT THE RULER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH? HE CONTROLS HELL AND HADES; HE CONTROLS EVERYTHING. HE IS THE SON OF MAN BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD. THE BLOOD IS MAN. HE IS THE SON OF GOD BECAUSE OF THE WATER; AND WATER IS GOD. SO HE IS GOD BECAUSE HE IS SPIRIT. THAT WAS HIM BUT DID YOU KNOW HIM? DID YOU RECEIVE HIM? TELL ME IF YOU KNEW THAT WAS GOD WHO CAME TO SAVE YOU? THAT IS WHAT IDENTIFIES HIM AS GOD.
  • 113.
    On the crossHe said: “FATHER INTO THY HANDS I COMMEND MY SPIRIT.” IT MEANS THAT THE SPIRIT IS THE FATHER, AND IF YOU HAVE THAT SPIRIT YOU WILL RESURRECT. WHEN THE SOLDIERS PIERCED HIS SIDE, THERE CAME OUT WATER AND BLOOD FROM HIM, AND THAT WATER IS THE CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD. THE BLOOD IS MAN, AND SO HE WAS THE SON OF MAN, SON OF GOD AND GOD HIMSELF. THAT WAS THE REASON JOHN WAS TOLD TO BAPTIZE WITH WATER. THE WATER IS CHRIST. AND CHRIST HIMSELF SAYS THAT EXCEPT YOU ARE BORN OF WATER AND SPIRIT, YOU CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD. THAT IS WHY IT IS SAID THAT AS MANY AS HAVE BEEN BURIED WITH HIM IN SPIRIT IN BAPTISM HAVE PUT ON CHRIST. (Gal.3:27). YOU HAVE BEEN READING THE BIBLE BUT HAVE YOU EVER HAD THIS REVELATION GIVEN UNTO YOU NOW? AFTER BAPTISM HE BESTOWS THE HOLY SPIRIT ON YOU AND YOU THEN HAVE THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. EVERYTHING IS CONSUMMATED. HE IS THE SON OF MAN, THE SON OF GOD AND HE IS HERE RIGHT NOW BUT CAN YOU SEE HIM? DO YOU BELIEVE IN HIM?
  • 114.
    In the Bookof Revelation 12:5 it is written that a woman brought forth a man child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. When hunting a strong or large animal one needs an exceptionally matching powerful bullet. Man is not a single creature and so He has to rule all nations with a rod of iron. You wonder why I always laugh when I say these things, but why should I not laugh? I have to laugh. On that fateful day, He told His disciples that they would all deny Him and forsake Him. But Peter said that even if all forsook Him, “I will never forsake you.” But when the time came he was the first person to deny Him. THIS WILL SHOW YOU THAT THIS ELECTION IS EXTENDED TO US FREE OF CHARGE. IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF YOUR GOODNESS OR YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS; IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF YOUR FAITH OR YOUR DESIRE. BUT HE IS LOVE, HE IS FAITH, HE IS TRUTH, AND EVERYTHING. HE CALLED US OUT OF GRACE AND YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW HE CALLED YOU. HE HAS CHOSEN TO GIVE THIS KINGDOM TO THOSE HE LOVES. What man loves, God does not love; and what God loves man does not love. IT IS NOT THE PERSON WHO COMMENDS HIMSELF THAT IS APPROVED BUT
  • 115.
    IT IS THEPERSON WHO GOD COMMENDS THAT IS APPROVED. The world does not receive Christ neither do they know Him; they disgrace Him and despise Him; BUT GOD HAS GIVEN HIM A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY OTHER NAME, AS THE RULER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH. AND THE VERY PERSON THE WORLD HAS DISCLAIMED IS APPOINTED BY GOD TO BE THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS WHO IS TO JUDGE EVERY CREATURE IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH. SINCE GOD HAS DECLARED HIM AS HIS BELOVED SON, YOU CAN WEEP IF YOU WANT TO WEEP. IF YOU LIKE YOU CAN REJOICE. YOU CLAIM THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW HIM BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT HE IS THE RULER IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH. When Christ was killed, did Peter not go back to his fishing? Our Lord Jesus Christ said that He would resurrect on the third day; but since they did not have the Spirit of God they did not hear Him. When you do not have the Spirit of God, everything here is like cinema. After you have heard and seen, everything then passes away, and you cannot remember them again. HE SAYS I HAVE COME IN MY FATHER’S NAME AND YOU DO NOT RECEIVE ME BUT
  • 116.
    WHEN ANOTHER SHALLCOME IN HIS OWN NAME YOU WILL RECEIVE HIM AND PROCLAIM HIM AS A WONDERFUL MAN. Can you not see the coming of another person and how you have rejoiced in Him? Do you think that at this time He will again go about calling people to follow Him? The time He came and called people to follow Him who obeyed? This time he is NOT asking you to come, He is using a rod of iron to rule. HE DOES NOT TELL YOU THAT HE IS JESUS OR GOD, THAT IS CHILD’S PLAY. THE ROD OF IRON SIGNIFIES HIS GLORY. THIS TIME HE IS COMING AS A KING AND YOU KNOW THAT A KING DOES NOT MOVE AROUND BECAUSE HIS WORKERS ARE THERE. YOU ARGUE THAT WHEN HE CAME, HE WENT FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE PRAYING FOR PEOPLE AND WASHING THEIR FEET, BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT HE IS COMING AGAIN TO PERFORM. HIS CHILDREN ARE THERE TO DO THESE THINGS. IT IS AN INSULT FOR HIM TO DO THAT KIND OF WORK AGAIN. YOU SAY THERE WAS POWER IN THOSE DAYS, -IN JERUSALEM AND IN JERICHO, HE WENT ABOUT
  • 117.
    DOING MIGHTY WORKS;AND THAT WAS CHILD PLAY. RIGHT NOW HE IS IN AMERICA, IN INDIA, AND EVERYWHERE. HE IS INSIDE YOU, IN THE AIR, IN THE WATER, IN THE SKY, AND EVERYWHERE MAN HAS SET HIS FEET. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF SUCH A PERSON. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF SUCH A RULER? IT IS THE SAME PERSON YOU ARE DENYING. YOU CLAIM THAT HE IS DEAD AND THAT HE CANNOT RULE OVER YOU. BUT IT IS TOO LATE BECAUSE HE HAS COME TO RULE HEAVEN AND EARTH. ALL ANGELS, BLACKS AND WHITES AND COLORED PEOPLE ARE ALL UNDER HIS RULERSHIP. WHETHER YOU KNOW HIM OR NOT IS IRRELEVANT BECAUSE HIS REIGN IS FOREVER AND EVER. HE HAS NOT COME TO CLEANSE THE LEPERS AND RAISE THE DEAD BUT HE HAS A LONG LEG. HE PASSES THROUGH A THIEF AND RAISES THE DEAD AND YOU WILL RUSH AND PROCLAIM THE THIEF AS THE TRUE GOD; AND SO YOU FAIL. He can use a murderer to raise the dead AND DIVIDE THE SUN INTO TWO AND YOU WILL BE ASTONISHED, IT IS THE SAME ONE. But you will rush to see wonders, you will accept the murderer as the real Jesus. He
  • 118.
    passes on andyou cannot see Him and so you fail by calling the murderer Jesus. WHEN YOU WANT TO IDENTIFY HIM BY POWER AND MIRACLES YOU FAIL. WHEN YOU BEGIN TO COMMEND A PERSON BEING VERY POWERFUL, DO YOU KNOW THE SOURCE OF THAT POWER? He has come to take dominion and rulership. ALL ANGELS HAVE TO SERVE HIM. BRETHREN, CAN YOU SEE THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED? The church denomination says they are waiting for Him but none keeps His injunction of love ye one another which He left us. The Church leader will tell you that he founded the church and that he raised the dead and he is even greater than Jesus. Such works are elementary. THIS TIME HE HAS COME TO CHANGE MAN SO THAT WE CAN LIVE IN PEACE AND LOVE AND JOY WITH ONE ANOTHER. RIGHT NOW RAISING THE DEAD IS A CARNAL JOB. IF YOU PRESS ON LOOKING FOR THIS TYPE OF SIGN YOU PERISH. He says He will wipe off all tears from your eyes; there will be no more death, nor sorrows, nor mourning again. There will be no sickness nor pain again. When there are no more sicknesses what are you going to cure? That is what he has come to do,

    but instead ofyou waiting for Him to do His work you run to native doctors to have your problems solved. Do you think God does not see you? You have failed. HE IS TRUTH, HE IS PEACE, HE IS PATIENCE, MERCY, HUMILITY, RIGHTEOUSNESS, SELF- CONTROL, GLORY, JOY, AND ALL GOOD VIRTUES. It does not involve only raising the dead and going about from house to house. Go to any part of the world if there is anywhere you can find these virtues apart from in Him. Healing, miracles, are the old style and they are still operating on their own scale. It is the same old thing which is regarded as new when they arrive in Africa. And so all the signs and wonders are meant to deceive the unbelievers. I do not want to say more than this. I want everybody to get back home and ponder over this statement. It is mental arithmetic and you can either have the answer right or wrong. THE FACT REMAINS THAT GOD HAS NEVER REPEATED HIS OWN THING. IF SOMEBODY COMES TO TELL YOU THAT HE IS CHRIST, LEAVE HIM ALONE, AND PASS ON. CHRIST IS NOT COMING TO WALK FROM PLACE TO PLACE. HE IS COMING AS THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. WHERE
  • 120.
    DOES HE HAVETO MOVE TO? HE IS EVERYWHERE AND IT IS EITHER YOU SEE HIM OR YOU DO NOT SEE HIM. ANY KING WHO CARRIES HIS OWN CHAIR IS NOT A KING. A KING HAS HIS CHAIR AND THRONE AND EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR HIM. Brethren I do not intend to take you further than this. A stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. He who has ears let him hear. May the Lord bless His Holy words, Amen. THANK YOU HOLY FATHER. THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.

Golden Text: John 4: 24-26 "God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. The woman said unto him, I know the Messiah cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus said unto her, I that speak unto thee I am He." THE HOLY SPIRIT IS HERE: Are we not led to the accurate knowledge of the truth? Have you not realized now that God is a spirit? Do the various church denominations know this? Instead of imparting this knowledge to the adherents, they rather talk about demons. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST DID NOT SAY THAT ANOTHER PROPHET OR PASTOR SHALL COME, BUT HE DECLARED THAT GOD SHALL COME BY HIMSELF. GOD IS RIGHT IN YOUR MIDST TODAY. THUS ONCE YOU PURIFY

    YOURSELF, HE WILLCOME AND ABIDE WITH YOU FOREVER. AS SOON AS THIS TAKES PLACE YOU ARE LEFT WITHOUT PROBLEMS. WHETHER YOU PRAY OR NOT HE IS PRAYING ON YOUR BEHALF AND YOU WILL GAIN ETERNAL LIFE. WHEN PROPHET MOHAMMED WAS ABOUT TO DIE HIS FOLLOWERS ASKED HIM TO TELL THEM THE ONE WHO WILL TEACH THEM AND LEAD THEM TO THE ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH. HE TOLD THEM THAT THE KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH AND THE POWER TO SAVE HIMSELF WAS NOT WITHIN HIS CONTROL. WITH THAT UNFAVORABLE REPLY, THEY ASKED FURTHER WHAT THEY SHOULD DO TO BE SAVED. HE TOLD THEM TO WAIT FOR THE COMING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, THAT WHEN HE COMES HE WOULD LEAD AND TEACH THEM. This reveals how lucky this generation is. It is the fulfillment of the prophecy at John 4:21-22, and it also reveals that GOD IS DWELLING IN YOU, AND HE IS WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU MAY BE. You should learn from the testimony of one of our brothers (a lawyer) who said that when he was not baptized, he was behaving as he liked, but since he came into this fold, he found himself a changed man. THERE IS NO NEED FOR YOU TO COME HERE AND DEMAND ANY OTHER TEACHING BECAUSE GOD IS ALREADY TEACHING YOU EVERYTHING. AND YOU ARE AS FREE AS THE AIR. NO ANGEL OR PROPHET IS CHARGED WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY TO GUIDE YOU. THIS IS BECAUSE
  • 123.
    THIS IS NOTTHEIR TIME. THIS IS THE TIME FOR THE GODHEAD TO RULE. HE GUIDES AND DOES EVERYTHING FOR YOU. NOBODY AMONG THE PEOPLE CAN GIVE YOU THE NEEDED SALVATION. THIS EXPLAINS WHY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST SAID: "AND IN THAT DAY YE ASK ME NOTHING. VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU WHATSOEVER YE SHALL ASK THE FATHER IN MY NAME, HE WILL GIVE IT YOU...FOR THE FATHER HIMSELF LOVETH YOU, BECAUSE YE HAVE LOVED ME, HAVE BELIEVED THAT I CAME OUT FROM GOD. (John 16:23-27). In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, whatever you ask I give it to you. YOU ARE ALL FREE AND ALWAYS WITH THE FATHER BECAUSE HE DWELLS IN YOU. You play pranks, tell lies to the Father while He provides all your heart desires. After the resurrection, Our Lord Jesus Christ told Mary, "Touch me not; I am not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, your God." (John 20:17). The same thing is applicable here. The Father is not only mine but He belongs to all of us. He is not only my God but the God of all those who practice these pieces of advice. Most of the people direct most of their material gifts to the Father. Others claim that it
  • 124.
    is only theFather who can do the works we witness in BCS. We have but one Father and we are all brethren. The activities of this fold are not those of idol worshipers. The only thing expected of you is to love one another; and once that is done, you are free. You must have heard the testimony of a certain medical doctor who said that he no more prescribes orthodox medication for the cure of people's sickness because they are not as potent as should be the case any longer. He said that it is the name of the Father alone that he uses to cure anybody that comes to him. YOU CAN SEE THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST CURED VARIOUS SICKNESSES THROUGH THE SPOKEN WORD. WHY DO YOU TWO OR MORE PERSONS PRAY FOR A SICK PERSON? Like Our Lord Jesus Christ I am using the words to do all that I do. Here you are told, "Go, for you now have peace, no more sickness, no accident,” and the same is fulfilled as declared. YOU ARE IN YOUR FATHER'S HOUSE, AND HE DOES EVERYTHING FOR YOU FREE OF CHARGE. GOD IS THE ONLY ONE THAT RULES THE WHOLE WORLD.

    Now you haveno problem because you are so polished that even when you are moving along the street and somebody sees you, the power that emanates from you is enough to take away that person's problems. Right now when you come in here, I do not pray for you but I will tell you to go for all your problems are solved, and it happens just as I said. I want you to also do the same. IF ALL OF YOU SHOULD POSSESS THIS LOVE, YOU ARE WITH ME ALWAYS, AND YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE WITH ME FOREVER. Beloved, it is said that a stroke of the cane is enough for the wise. Let he who has ears hear what the Holy Spirit has imparted to the world. May God bless His holy words. Amen. THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.

Of course, he will readily assume or even embrace any person who resembles or bears any semblance of that brother.

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.

    "And again, whenhe bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: a septre of righteousness is the septre of thy kingdom.Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God hath, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows." Golden Text: Hebrews 13:7-8 "Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, and today, and forever." INTRODUCTORY SONG: I AM THAT PERSON SAVED BY THE LORD. DID CHRIST DIE? When Our Lord Jesus Christ was in the world, and even after His death and resurrection, no one understood His ways. At times He appeared, may be, in the midst of two or three persons, and before they knew it, He disappeared. He appeared before Peter and the rest of them, and disappeared in like manner. All these took place to confirm the local adage which says cocoyam is cooked in accordance with its specie. This is in consonance with the action of someone who has missed his brother for a long time. Of course, he

    will readily assumeor even embrace any person who resembles or bears any semblance of that brother. There is a high probability that his assumption is right, especially when the person presumed to be his brother begins to exhibit some familiar actions, such as asking about the family and other personal matters. IN LIKE MANNER SHALL ALL BELIEVERS RECOGNIZE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ON HIS SECOND COMING. ALREADY YOU HAVE HEARD THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND SHALL, FOREVER, REMAIN SO. Also the content of our First Bible Lesson in Hebrews 7:24-26, has made Him clear to us. So you have the duty of going home with today's message and meditate over it. I am only reminding you because if you recall the type of life led by Our Lord Jesus Christ during His manifestation on earth, and then compare it to what is now going on in the world, you will only draw conclusions by yourself without waiting for somebody else to reveal it to you. Even the First Lesson has revealed that He is not dead even though people claim that He is dead. Peter was a very powerful disciple yet he argued that Our Lord Jesus Christ would not die. That was when Our Lord Jesus Christ informed them that He would die but resurrect on the third day. Peter's argument was based on the fact the fact that it is written from the beginning that Christ will not taste of death forever. (Matt 16:21-24). So as human, when he heard Christ pronounce that He would die, he became confused and even doubted whether Jesus was the real
  • 129.
    Christ or thePromised Messiah. Thus, Peter contemplated within himself, "It was written that He will not die, and if it happens that this very one will die it means he is not the one. I have derailed from the right path and my soul shall not be at peace." What happened is that He died, and resurrected on the third day. And the logic in the statement has to do with THE TRANSFORMATION FROM THE FLESH TO THE SPIRIT. And you could now hear what has been told us this day that He lives forever. But all other churches believe and proclaim that He is dead. The question is when did He die? Have they not been seeing that portion in the scripture? Since you continue to claim that Jesus Christ is beneath the earth, or in the sky etc. have you not seen His work going on? Have you ever seen the work of a dead man in the world going on as smoothly as when he was alive? Once you die, all your belongings are dead because the people you left behind will misuse and mismanage them. Who united the world? Recall that even when Our Lord Jesus was born the world did not recognize Him but now has the world not recognized Him? Many still do not believe in Him. Here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star WE BELIEVE IN CHRIST IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. SO WHENEVER YOU ARE TALKING TO HIM, ADDRESS HIM AS IF HE IS FACING YOU DIRECTLY AT THAT POINT IN TIME. WHENEVER YOU WANT TO HAVE ANY DEALINGS WITH HIM, DO IT RIGHT AWAY
  • 130.
    BECAUSE YOU HAVESEEN HIM PHYSICALLY. DO NOT FEAR. Even now, He still appears at any time and any where He likes. He is still healing the sick. That is why by singing songs and rebuking the sickness, the sick get healed right. This shows that He is the doer of all the activities carried on here, the singing, dancing, praying etc. HE IS THE TEACHER AND THE ADVISER. If you doubt it, then I ask you, have you ever gone on any workshop to train as a preacher? Have you ever gone to India, America, Israel, or anywhere in the world to be trained as a preacher? If no, then where did you acquire the wisdom and truth with which most of you preach? Meanwhile, have you ever seen a priest who is truthful? So He alone is worthy, and He is the only Chief Priest. And forever He remains the only Chief Priest, and none will ever emerge again. SO YOU SHOULD NOT BE DECEIVED BY ANYBODY WHO MAY RISE TOMORROW AND CLAIM TO BE THE CHIEF PRIEST. FOR OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS TAKEN HIS GLORIOUS THRONE, AND HIS GLORY HAS NEITHER BEGINNING NOR AN END. HE IS THE GREAT TEACHER WHO HAS TAKEN EVERYBODY TO HIS FATHER. I have been telling you to stop gazing at the sky, imagining His likeness. Have you not seen His likeness within you. Even in your bedroom He is always conversing deeply with you. In the past, many people did not see Him, talk less of conversing with Him. But now you have seen Him, you do

    not see Himwhile sailing on the river or flying in the sky alone, but you see Him wherever you go. Then what is the sense of doubting Him? BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU THE SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD OF THE UNIVERSE BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR. EXCERPT FROM :IN SEARCH OF CHRIST …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. FALSEHOOD: NAMES AND ROBES THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. BEWARE OF FALSE GODS AND CHRISTS Jesus said that there will be false Christs. Be on the alert, because someone will come to you and say, I am Jesus or Christ, and you will bow down to him. Beware, he is not. Even if you were to see in a vision Jehovah written on somebody's forehead, do not worship him, he is not. That is why you are advised to beware of NAMES so that you may not be led astray; because someone will come to you saying that he is the long expected one, when he is not. Since the world's foundation, there has not been any
  • 132.
    creature who hasknown the real name of God. What Christ was able to reveal to us was that, He is a Spirit and He is the Father. We accepted this revelation of Christ. John further revealed God as Love. CHRIST REVEALED HIMSELF AS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. THEREFORE DO NOT FOLLOW AFTER ANY OTHER NAMES, BUT FOLLOW, LOVE, TRUTH AND LIFE FOR THIS WILL GIVE YOU SALVATION. DO NOT LOOK FOR NAMES ANYMORE FOR THEY ARE DECEITFUL AND DETRIMENTAL. If someone calls on you do not ask him what denominations he belongs to or what position he occupies in his Church, this brings inevitable rancor. Do not be led astray by THE ROBES of Pastors, Bishops, Reverends, Prophets, Popes, Evangelists or Apostles. Have you not read of false Pastors, Prophets, and Apostles. And what of this name Christian? This name has depraved the entire world today. All the troubles in the world, all the crimes committed in the world today are committed by those who say that they are Christians. Christendom has failed. I say this because some of you, your fathers are Pastors or Reverends. You are quite
  • 133.
    aware of theways they use these names. They use these titles for dishonest gains. But the name of God is wonderful. It is a Holy Name that nobody knows. He has now come to rule both the heavens and the earth and there is no one in heaven and on earth who knows the secret name that He is called by, except Himself. Since the Scripture has told us that nobody else knows this secret Name written or inscribed on His garment, it is then futile for any person to waste his time investigating or imagining what should be His name. More so, there has never been a time that any part of the Scriptures goes unfulfilled, because God's Word must always come true. If this name were Christ, it would present no difficulty for we all know Christ. If it were to be Enoch, Moses, or John the Baptist, there would be no trouble, but this is a secret name that He alone knows. In the world today, you would see many Churches with different names, some are called Church of Christ, Church of the Lord, Church of Jehovah, what have they done? The use of these names does not change these others that have chosen to be called, Abasi, Chukwu, Chineke, Allah,
  • 134.
    Olorun and othernames but these names have no effect on them. THEREFORE REMOVE YOUR MINDS FROM NAMES; BUT LET US PURSUE TRUTH AND LOVE WHICH SHALL LEAD US TO SALVATION. FOR THERE IS NOBODY ON THIS EARTH WHO WILL KNOW THAT NAME. IT IS A SECRET NAME KNOWN ONLY BY THE ONE WHO HAS IT. Let us no more waste our time in trying to presume what this name may be, or try to work out the name in the way you work out mathematics. It is a secret Name, do not worry yourselves. For as the heaven is higher than the earth so also the knowledge of God is higher than the wisdom of mankind.(Isa 55:9).

AND HE WAS CLOTHED, WITH A VESTURE DIPPED IN BLOOD: AND HIS NAME IS CALLED, THE WORD OF GOD. REV. 19:12-13 states thus: His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but
  • 135.
    he himself. Andhe was clothed, with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called, THE WORD OF GOD. The name of that man is THE WORD OF GOD and he puts on a garment which is dipped in blood. IF HIS NAME IS THE WORD OF GOD, WHAT DOES HE USE AS HIS IMPLEMENTS OF WAR? HE USES THE WORDS OF GOD THEREFORE TO DO HIS WORK. You ask that holy oil should be used in your ears, eyes and on every part of your body before praying because you do not know yourself. But you should be aware that he uses the Iron Rod to rule the nations. What is the Iron Rod? No person can have anything unless it is given to him from above. That is why many of you still doubt me, though you are shouting the name of Olumba Olumba Obu. I have seen you very clearly within and without. He says, “All is well,” “Go I am in front and behind you, I have given you a child,” and it happens just the way he says it will. DURING THE APRIL PENTECOSTAL IN THIS HALL, SEVERAL PEOPLE MADE APPEALS TO ME BECAUSE SINCE NOVEMBER LAST YEAR, THERE HAS BEEN NO RAIN. ON THAT DAY, I COMMANDED THE HEAVENS TO OPEN AND THERE WAS A HEAVY RAINFALL EVERYWHERE INCLUDING IN LAGOS. I DID NOT PRAY OR CONTACT ANY ELEMENT FOR IT. I AM NOT TELLING YOU THAT I AM THE MAN, BUT I

    AM TELLING YOUEVERYTHING THAT WAS WRITTEN ABOUT THE MAN. If you see somebody with a gun or any other weapon saying he is the one, know that he is not the one. If you see somebody with a matchet, and he says he is the one, do not believe him, he is not. If you see someone dashing out money to people and saying that he is the one, know that he is not the one. OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THIS PARTICULAR MAN PROCEEDS A SHARP SWORD WITH WHICH TO SMITE THE NATIONS. SUPPOSING YOU SEE A PERSON WHO USES A GARMENT DIPPED IN BLOOD AND ALSO USES A SHARP SWORD TO CUT DOWN AND KILL PEOPLE, WOULD YOU STILL SAY THAT SUCH IS THE PERSON? IT HAS BEEN EXPLAINED IN CLEAR TERMS THAT HIS NAME IS THE WORD OF GOD. HE USES NOTHING ELSE TO DO HIS WORK OTHER THAN THE WORD OF GOD; HE DOES NOT USE MATCHET, GUN, OR STICKS. HE USES THE WORDS THAT PROCEED FROM HIS MOUTH. IF HE USES ANY TYPE OF DRESS FOR HIS GARMENT, SUCH AS PURPLE, YELLOW, GREEN ETC, WOULD THIS DEPICT THAT HE IS THE ONE? IT IS STATED THAT THIS MAN WILL WEAR A GARMENT DIPPED IN BLOOD. THE SIGNIFICANT THING ABOUT THE WORD OF GOD IS THAT IF YOU ADD ANYTHING, SOME HEAVY PUNISHMENT WILL BE ADDED TO YOU, AND IF YOU SUBTRACT ANYTHING, YOUR NAME WILL BE

    CHRIST IS THEGROOM TO ALL THE MEMBERS OF BROTHERHOOD. Eph 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Eph 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; EPH 5:20 GIVING THANKS ALWAYS FOR ALL THINGS UNTO GOD AND THE FATHER IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST; Eph 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, EVEN AS CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH: AND HE IS THE SAVIOUR OF THE BODY. Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Eph 5:26 THAT HE MIGHT SANCTIFY AND CLEANSE IT WITH THE WASHING OF WATER BY THE WORD,

    Eph 5:27 Thathe might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. Eph 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. Eph 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Eph 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. CHRIST IS THE GROOM TO ALL THE MEMBERS OF BROTHERHOOD.

    Beloved, apart fromOur Lord Jesus Christ, there is none other who is your groom. CHRIST IS THE GROOM TO ALL THE MEMBERS OF BROTHERHOOD. So you need not worry yourself about what you lack. For once you kneel down, knock down your forehead, and present all your problems to Christ, through prayer you are filled. THE FATHER IS ALWAYS SUFFICIENT TO YOU AND AS SUCH YOU SHOULD NOT REQUEST FOR PRAYERS FROM PEOPLE. You should not be deceived , in this kingdom, everybody has equal power and potentials. It is only in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star that God is worshiped in Spirit and in truth That is why I tell you that should you abide by all the injunctions given to you by the Father, here in the kingdom, things would have been perfect with you. So long as you remain obedient to the Father, you are on top of the world and you cannot be harmed by anything. DO NOT BE AFRAID OF ANYTHING. Stop offering a prolonged prayer. Instead say, ALL IS WELL, for all things are bound to be well accordingly. Let my peace and blessing rest and abide with the entire world now and forevermore. Amen THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
