PREACHING THE CROSS OF CHRIST
1Co 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to
them that perish foolishness; but unto us
which are saved it is the power of God.
1Co 2:2 For I determined not to know any
thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him
crucified.
1Co 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God
the world by wisdom knew not God, it
pleased God by the foolishness of preaching
to save them that believe.

Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel
of Christ: for it is the power of God unto
salvation to every one that believeth; to the
Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Rom 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of
God revealed from faith to faith: as it is
written, The just shall live by faith.
PEACE
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.
Christ preached peace and left peace with us.
It is not healing the sick that is the most
important thing but making peace with people.
This is the problem existing in governments,
church denominations and societies; between
husband and wife. There are problems
everywhere. From where will salvation come?

You are the peacemakers, and that is why the
fruits of righteousness are imparted to you. As
long as you receive these words, and become
clean in your words and actions you will shine.
This brightness will enlighten the whole world.
Wherever you go, you do not have to speak
many words but peace will be restored.
The children of the world speak and listen to
worldly things, only children of God speak and
listen to the word of God. By this we know the
spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU
Joh 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
believeth on me, the works that I do shall he
do also; and greater works than these shall
he do; because I go unto my Father.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto
them, saying, All power is given unto me in
heaven and in earth.
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I
am with you alway, even unto the end of the
world. Amen.
When I look at the world and its dwellers, I
shed tears about those who continue to call
upon the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ but do
not actually understand what the name means.
IF GOD DOES NOT RULE, IF THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST DOES NOT RULE, NO OTHER PERSON
IS FIT TO RULE. IT IS BECAUSE, HE IS CALLED
FAITHFUL AND TRUE. Ninety percent of
Brotherhood members go about with erroneous
notions. There are those who say that the Holy
Father does not want to extend His powers to
His members otherwise His members would
have been walking like him, speaking the way
He speaks and doing the kind of work He does.
But these people fail to note the fact that Our
Lord Jesus Christ did not mention anybody’s
name who would do the works He has done
and even do greater works. He said that
WHOEVER BELIEVED IN HIM WOULD DO
THOSE WORKS BECAUSE HE WAS GOING TO
HIS FATHER.

When He resurrected, Our Lord Jesus Christ
did say that every power in heaven and on
earth had been handed over to Him.(MATTHEW
28:19-20). IF THE OWNER OF POWER HAD
PROMISED TO BESTOW EVEN GREATER
POWER TO WHOEVER BELIEVED IN HIM, WHY
THEN DO PEOPLE SAY THAT THE POWER IN
BROTHERHOOD DOES NOT COME FROM GOD?
WHERE THEN DOES THE POWER COME FROM?
What is more surprising to the world is that the
only thing that can be seen here is the Holy
Bible. THERE IS NO CANDLE HERE, NO
PERFUME, NO INCANTATIONS, NOTHING
WHATSOEVER. OUT OF CALUMNY PEOPLE
SAY THAT IT IS THE BIAKPAN WATER THAT
CONTAINS ALL THE POWER. BROTHERHOOD
IS NOW THE TALK OF THE TOWN. THE
SOURCE OF POWER HERE IS STILL VERY
DISTURBING AND ELUSIVE TO THEM.
But they have forgotten the promise of our
Lord Jesus Christ that whoever believes in him
shall do even greater works than He had done.
You are only pretending to serve Our Lord
Jesus Christ. It is exactly what Moses
did.(hebrews3:1-9) He went about with bushy

beards getting gratifications from the people.
WHEN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST CAME, HE
MINISTERED TO PEOPLE INSTEAD OF BEING
MINISTERED UNTO. THE CHURCH
DENOMINATIONS, PASTORS, BISHOPS, AND
OTHER PEOPLE FAIL TO HAVE CHRIST’S
PROMISE FULFILLED IN THEM BECAUSE THEY
ARE STILL TELLING LIES, INDULGING IN THE
PREPARATION OF CONCOCTION AND
SOOTHSAYING, ENLISTING IN SECRET
SOCIETIES, AND MOST ESPECIALLY, THEY
HAVE NO FAITH IN GOD AND DON’T BELIEVE
IN HIM.
If you look at the Bible, you would see the
teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ, His
discourses, His preachings, and sermons,
testimonies and dreams, visions and
prophecies, all interwoven.
When you go about saying that Jesus said this
and that, you are just telling stories because
you have not seen Jesus physically before. If
Our Lord Jesus Christ did not die, it would not

have been possible for Him to come back and
carry out all the assignment He had. CHRIST
WAS KILLED IN THE FLESH AND HE
RESURRECTED IN THE SPIRIT AND IT WAS IN
THE SPIRIT THAT HE CARRIED OUT ALL THE
MARVELOUS ASSIGNMENTS.(Romans4:23-25)
HE WAS IN THE SPIRIT WHEN HE TOOK THE
KEY OF DEATH FROM HADES AND RELEASED
THE PRISONERS FROM THE HANDS OF SATAN.
HE IS STRONGER IN THE SPIRIT THAN WHEN
HE WAS IN THE FLESH.(1stPeter3:18-22)
Very many of you do not know that when you
go into the spiritual world you can become
Omnipresent and you can carry out
assignments which seem impossible to
humans. IF CHRIST DID NOT DIE, HE WOULD
NOT RESURRECT AND ONCE HE HAS DIED
AND RESURRECTED, HE WILL NEVER DIE
AGAIN BECAUSE HE HAS DOMINION OVER
DEATH. And so it was after this that He had
the power of appearing to people physically
and being Omnipresent at the same time. And
so it was in the spiritual body that He could do
all things. WHEN CHRIST WAS ALIVE ON
EARTH HE WAS ONLY ONE PERSON BUT

WHEN HE RESURRECTED HE COULD MAKE
MANY APPEARANCES TO VARIOUS PEOPLE
ANYWHERE AT THE SAMETIME. HE WAS
LAVISHLY SEEN THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
IF CHRIST HAD NOT DIED, HE WOULD NOT
HAVE RETURNED IN THE FORM OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT.
DIVERSITY OF TONGUES REFERS TO A
MULTIPLICITY OF CHRISTS. WHEN ONE
CHRIST DIED, HE CAME BACK IN LARGE
NUMBERS UPON THE DISCIPLES ON THE DAY
OF PENTECOST. This is why I tell you that
unless somebody dies you cannot have a new
spirit coming out. Your greatest fear and
problem is death. If it was possible you would
make an appeal to God to remove death. Death
strikes fear into you. But I am telling you that
there is nothing like death; for if somebody
does not go on spiritual transfer to the great
beyond, you cannot have infants born into the
world.
BRETHREN, EACH ONE OF US CAME INTO THE
WORLD WITH A PARTICULAR ASSIGNMENT
AND AT THE COMPLETION OF THAT
ASSIGNMENT YOU HAVE TO BE REBORN

BEFORE YOU ARE REASSIGNED TO ANOTHER
DUTY. YOU CANNOT CARRY THE SAME BODY
AND TAKE UPON YOURSELF A FRESH
ASSIGNMENT. SO YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THAT
BODY ASIDE AND TAKE UP A FRESH BODY
BEFORE YOU ARE REASSIGNED. THOSE WHO
WILL PRACTICE BROTHERHOOD ARE NOT YET
BORN. For illustrative purposes I am looking
for 144,000 virgins, but now some of you have
wives, husbands and you are so much engaged
in the affairs of this world that it is impossible
for you to become a virgin.
Before you can become a virgin you have to die
and be reborn.
Right now, tell me how you can practice the
word of God. May be you have made a
determined effort to be among the 144,000.
You have to abandon your wife, children in
order to become a virgin, but your wife and
children would have to tell you “if you are
going there, I am coming with you.” Right now
you are the breadwinner for your family and so
no person in the family would want you to

leave them. All these things have tied you
down; you cannot practice the word of God.
ONLY ONE MAN AND KING DID GOD DESTINE
TO RULE.
ONLY ONE MAN AND KING DID GOD DESTINE
TO RULE. ALL OTHER KINGS ARE
COUNTERFEIT. BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT
THOSE WHO ACCEPT AND REJOICE WITH HIM,
HE GIVES THEM THE RIGHT TO RULE WITH
HIM. THAT WAS WHY HE SAID THAT WHOEVER
OVERCOMES SHALL I GIVE THE CROWN; THAT
IS TO SAY NO CROSS NO CROWN. NO PERSON
HAS BEEN GIVEN THE AUTHORITY TO RULE
EXCEPT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. He rules
over the trees, the water, the hades and the
entire universe. MAN IS SO STUPID TO RAISE
HIS SHOULDERS HIGH AND CALL HIMSELF A
KING. THAT IS WHY THERE IS NO KINGDOM
THAT STANDS AND NO KING SURVIVES. ALL
THINGS ARE TEMPORARY. HE HAS SAID THAT
ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT PLANTED BY
MY FATHER SHALL BE UPROOTED. (Matthew15:13)

YOU ARE THE PEACEMAKERS
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.
Remember that Philip asked Our Lord Jesus
Christ, “show us the Father and that will
suffice us.” Our Lord Jesus Christ did not invite
him to the desert or to Jerusalem or to any
other location. But He rather asked, Philip
have you been with me all these years and you
ask, show us the Father? Who sees me sees
the Father. I dwell in the Father and the Father
dwells in me. The words that I speak are not
mine but the Father doeth the work. Christ
preached peace and left peace with us.

You are the peacemakers that is why the fruits
of righteousness are imparted to you. As long
as you receive these words, and become clean
in your words and actions you will shine. This
brightness will enlighten the whole world.
It was written that the children of God shall
judge the world and the angels. Thus these
fruits of righteousness are being imparted to
you, to prepare you for the task of restoring
peace to the whole world.
WHEN IT IS PROCLAIMED THAT GOD IS ON
EARTH, PEOPLE ARGUE THAT HE IS NOT. IT
MEANS THAT JESUS IS THEIR GOD. IS THIS
NOT THE FATHER WHOM JESUS SAID WAS
GREATER THAN HIM? IT IS BECAUSE THEY
DID NOT BELIEVE IN HIM. ALL THOSE WHO

BELIEVED IN HIM THAT HE IS THE SON OF
GOD, THEY ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE HOLY
SPIRIT HAS COME.
TRUTH AND LOVE
If we listen to and watch the behavior of Our
Lord Jesus Christ such will not be the case. He
says: if you have two coats give one to the
person who has none. He who has food should
do likewise. If we do this, we will see that, we
will have no problems preserving the extra.
WHY IT IS SAID THAT CHRIST IS THE TRUTH
BUT NOT LOVE IS BECAUSE, WHEN HE
INSTRUCTED HIS DISCIPLES TO GO TO THE
LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND
NOT TO THE GENTILES, HE HAD LIMITED
HIMSELF. THAT IS NOT LOVE. AGAIN, IT IS
SAID THAT HE CAME TO SAVE HIS PEOPLE
ISRAEL, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE GENTILES?
ARE THEY NOT HUMAN BEINGS. People think
that what is called the flesh is this body which

we touch and feel. That is not what is meant.
That is a spiritual language. WHEN YOU HEAR
THAT SOMEBODY IS WALKING IN THE SPIRIT,
IT DOES NOT MEAN SHAKING YOUR HEAD OR
PANTING LIKE A MAD MAN. Christ Himself
walked in the flesh and that is why He said
that if He did not go the Comforter would not
come but when He went He would send Him.
How could He have walked in the spirit? When
our Lord Jesus Christ had done great works in
Chorazin and Bethsaida, he came back to find
the people unrepentant, He cursed them. When
he went into the temple and saw the
merchants changing money, did he not drive
them away with a whip? Do you not realize
that if it were that Jesus, all of you would have
been driven out of this place. Upon all that I
preach to you, you stay before me and fight,
would Jesus tolerate such a behavior? He is a
man of war, He did all that because he was in
the flesh. You can see that he wept, when
Lazarus died. WHEN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
TOLD HIS DISCIPLES TO GO ONLY TO THE
HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND NOT TO THE
GENTILES, THAT WAS THE TIME HE WAS IN

THE FLESH. BUT WHEN HE DIED AND
RESURRECTED, HE SENT HIS DISCIPLES TO
GO AND MAKE ALL NATIONS HIS DISCIPLES.
AT THIS TIME, HE WAS IN THE SPIRIT.
IN THE WHOLE OF HEAVEN, HE IS THE FIRST
BORN OF GOD. IN THE WHOLE EARTH, HE IS
THE FIRST BORN. EVEN BEFORE THE
FOUNDATIONS OF THE WORLD WERE LAID, HE
WAS THE FIRST BORN.(Colosian1:12-20) GOD
HAS INTRODUCED HIM TO THE WHOLE
WORLD, “THIS IS MY BELOVED SON IN WHOM I
AM WELL PLEASED,” (Matthew3:13-17) WHAT
ELSE ARE YOU WAITING FOR? IT BEHOOVES
US AND THE ENTIRE CREATION TO LOVE HIM.
AND SO IF WE LOVE HIM WE MUST LISTEN TO
HIS VOICE. AND SO WHOEVER LOVES HIM
LOVES GOD AND IF YOU DO NOT HAVE
CHRIST, IT MEANS YOU DO NOT LOVE GOD.
WHOEVER CLAIMS TO LOVE GOD BUT DOES
NOT LOVE HIS SON IS DECEIVING HIMSELF.

Whoever says, he hears the voice of God but
does not hear the voice of His son is deceiving
Himself. You can remember that when He was
a boy of twelve He went into the temple and
sat with the lawyers to discuss the law. When
they questioned him, he gave them the correct
answers, but when He questioned them, they
could not answer Him. Where did He get such
wisdom from at the age of twelve?
You say that Jesus went to a University in
India. He only went there to teach them
because He was taught by the Father and the
Father was living in Him.
Throughout the lifetime of Our Lord Jesus
Christ, He had never quarreled, disagreed, or
fought; He was a man of peace.
Tell me the truth, when you came into this hall
this morning, did you know that you were the
Christ? But you have been saying that Christ is
at No. 34 Ambo Street, and that you are not the
one. Is it clear to you now? Who are you in
person? Are you not Christs?

Can you not see that none of us is worthy of
this glory. Right now, we do not realize that we
are Christs. You have been hoping for Christ to
come on the last day. But you do not realize
that you are in Him, that you have put on Our
Lord Jesus Christ. As you are walking, He is
the one walking, and doing everything for you.
HE IS THE SON OF GOD, THE FIRST BORN AND
ALL OF YOU ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD. HE
IS THE KING OF KINGS AND YOU ARE
THOSE KINGS. YOU ARE ALL CHRISTS.
WHEREVER HE IS, YOU ARE THERE, WHERE
EVER YOU ARE, HE IS THERE. YOU WALK IN
HIM, YOU LIE WITH HIM. WHEN SOMEBODY
ASKS YOU WHERE THE CHRIST IS, TELL HIM
THAT WHEN HE SEES YOU, HE HAS SEEN HIM.
THE WORDS YOU SPEAK ARE NOT YOURS HE
IS THE PERSON SPEAKING.
WHO IS JESUS THE CHRIST?
When people talk about Our Lord Jesus Christ,
they count His genealogy but have they heard
of this statement made by Christ that before

Abraham He was?(John8:57-58). Why then do
people say that Our Lord Jesus Christ was the
son of David? Why do you take 25th of
December as the day Christ was born? Is it
true that He was born on that day? The
question is, does the world not tell lies by
saying that Christ was born on the Christmas
Day? You are bold to stand up and claim to
narrate the story of the birth of Jesus Christ.
Do you know exactly when He was born? It
seems to me that the world loves falsehood
more than the truth.
Brethren, who is Christ? I have been trying to
clarify this point but you close your ears and
refuse to receive the gospel. lnspite of that,
you still want to find out when Christ would
come from above. Who is Christ? He is the
word of God. Have you not heard Christ always
say “I and my Father are one?” (John 10:30).
Who is Christ? Who is God? Was Christ not in
existence before the world was made? Then
does this not reveal openly that Christ was,
before Abraham came into the world? God and
His Christ has no beginning and no end. They
exist forever. Have you not heard what was

said about Christ? Some people said that He
was mad, others said that He was a Samaritan.
I am telling you the fact that He was the Word
sent directly from God.
It is also a truism that Our Lord Jesus Christ
was not only the son of man, son of God but
God Himself. HE ALSO SAID THAT WHEN THE
COMFORTER COMES, HE WILL GLORIFY ME
BECAUSE HE SHALL NOT SPEAK OF HIMSELF
BUT WHATSOEVER HE SHALL HEAR THAT
SHALL HE SPEAK TO YOU AND HE WILL SHOW
YOU THINGS TO COME.
People did not believe in Him but as at now,
His glory has manifested unto the entire world.
It is now realized that all His statements are
true. Are you not surprised that Our Lord Jesus
Christ dwelt in the land of Israel for twenty
nine years but no person identified Him.
If you ask somebody now whether he believes
that Our Lord Jesus Christ has come, he will
reply that He has not yet come. The Roman
Catholics say not yet. The Archbishop of
Canterbury says not yet. All the prominent
figures say not yet. But you and I, ignorant and
illiterate, dine and converse with Him. When

Adam derailed from the path of rectitude, he
prayed and wept and fasted continuously
praying God for forgiveness and for God to
return to Him. But God rejected the plea and
instead made a promise that at the fullness of
time He would come. DURING HIS COMING A
SWORD WILL PIERCE THROUGH HIS SIDE AND
HE WOULD BE CRUCIFIED ON THE TREE.
THE SIGNS OF HIS COMING WERE
FRANKINCENSE, MYRRH AND GOLD. THAT
WAS WHY THOSE ITEMS WERE PRESENTED
DURING HIS BIRTH. THE ONE BORN AND
CALLED JESUS WAS NO OTHER THAN GOD
HIMSELF THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND
EARTH, THE HOLY SPIRIT. WAS HE
RECOGNIZED? HE WALKED THROUGH THE
LAND OF ISRAEL INCOGNITO. THEY CALLED
HIM THE SON OF CARPENTER, BEELZEBUB,
AND OTHER NAMES. THAT WAS THE CREATOR
OF THE HEAVEN AND EARTH. THE ALMIGHTY
GOD WHO CREATED THEM ALL.
Remember that Philip asked Our Lord Jesus
Christ, “show us the Father and that will
suffice us.” Our Lord Jesus Christ did not invite
him to the desert or to Jerusalem or to any

other location. But He rather asked, Philip
have you been with me all these years and you
ask, show us the Father? Who sees me sees
the Father. I dwell in the Father and the Father
dwells in me. The words that I speak are not
mine but the Father doeth the work.(John14:8-
10)
Christ preached peace and left peace with us.
You are the peacemakers that is why the fruits
of righteousness are imparted to you. As long
as you receive these words, and become clean
in your words and actions you will shine. This
brightness will enlighten the whole world.

It was written that the children of God shall
judge the world and the angels. Thus these
fruits of righteousness are being imparted to
you, to prepare you for the task of restoring
peace to the whole world.
When it is proclaimed that God is on earth,
people argue that he is not. It means that
Jesus is their God. IS THIS NOT THE FATHER
WHOM JESUS SAID WAS GREATER THAN HIM?
IT IS BECAUSE THEY DID NOT BELIEVE IN
HIM. ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVED IN HIM THAT
HE IS THE SON OF GOD, THEY ALSO BELIEVE
THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME.
HIS VARIOUS TASKS
Right now Jesus the Christ has taught you
everything. He has declared that the teachings
are not His but the Father’s. No person
accepted to listen to what He was saying. He
is the only person who understands the
lessons I am imparting to you. He alone knows
them no other person does. Since His time was

limited he could not expound this teaching to
you as is being done now.
Moreover, that was not His job, but He tried
because he learned of the Father. You can see
how numerous the commandments of Moses
are do not steal, do not kill, do not commit
adultery, do not bear false witness against
your neighbor and so on and so forth but; Our
Lord Jesus Christ came and gave only one
commandment, which swallowed up all the
Mosaic laws namely, “thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself.”
Even if you keep all the commandments of
Moses, there is no salvation for you. But if you
keep the one and only commandment of Our
Lord Jesus Christ you are saved. You can see
in this world somebody initiates himself into
one secret society and learns everything there
is to learn. There, he is given the seal, rings,
and symbols. He finishes here and goes into
another one to undergo the same process but
all to no avail.
But here immediately you practice love for one
another, you have fulfilled everything. You say
that Jesus says this and that, Jesus did not

say anything. All the words are spoken by God.
He has told us openly that they are not His
words but the Father’s. And so all that He said
were not spoken by Him but by God. Upon all
the people God sent into the world only our
Lord Jesus Christ got the prize. Right now, He
has to rule. He reigns in heaven and on earth.
Every other teaching is extinct. His
commandment is not burdensome; love one
another, that is all. HE DOES NOT NEED
DRUMMING, HE DOES NOT NEED LIGHTING OF
CANDLES, HE DOES NOT REQUIRE GOING
FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE HEALING PEOPLE.
The moment you love one another as He loves
you, you are free and you have no difficulty.
Listen to Him because He is speaking to you.
Whatever He tells you to do, that do. You do
not need another teacher. He is the only
Teacher. If you comply with all His instructions
and injunctions you are saved.
Our Lord Jesus Christ denied responsibility for
any action Himself and referred it to God. You
have heard that after the crucifixion of Our
Lord Jesus Christ, His garment was divided

into four parts. Did you also know that the
Bible is also divided into four parts?
The summary of the Bible contents right from
Genesis is neatly done in the twenty two
chapters of Revelation of John the Divine.
Everything is compressed into this twenty two
chapters. It marks the terminal paint. The
moment the contents therein are all fulfilled
we will all chorus Amen.
THE FIRST BORN SON AND THE SECOND
BORN SON:
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE FIRST BORN
AND TILL ETERNITY HE IS THE FIRST
BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD. ALL THE
INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD ARE THE
SECOND SON. WHEN YOU PUT TOGETHER ALL
THE ANGELS, THE TREES, AND ANIMALS AND
HUMAN BEINGS, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS
STILL THE FIRST BORN.

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS GOD; HE HAS
REINCARNATED A MILLION FOLD AND SO YOU
FIND THE CHILDREN OF GOD WHO CAN
ALWAYS LISTEN TO THE WORD OF GOD AND
PUT IT INTO PRACTICE. THESE CHILDREN OF
GOD CAN BE REFERRED TO AS THE HOLY
GHOST. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO CAN
LISTEN TO THE WORD OF GOD AND PRACTICE
SAME.(1stPeter3:18/Hebrews2:9-13).
THE MAIN REASON WHY OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST PRAYED, CALLING UPON GOD
EVERYWHERE HE WENT WAS TO INTRODUCE
TO THE PEOPLE THE ALMIGHTY GOD AND TO
ESTABLISH IMPLICIT FAITH IN THE PEOPLE
BUT THROUGHOUT HIS LIFETIME, PEOPLE DID
NOT KNOW GOD. THEY HAD NO BELIEF IN
GOD. UPON ALL THE MEMBERS OF
BROTHERHOOD SITTING DOWN HERE AND
ELSEWHERE SHOUTING WONDERFUL GOD,
THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN GOD. IT WAS
WRITTEN THAT CHRIST WILL NEVER DIE BUT
FOR HIM TO COME AND SAY THAT HE WOULD
GO TO JERUSALEM AND WOULD BE
PERSECUTED AND KILLED MEANT THAT HE
(PETER) MADE A MISTAKE IN FOLLOWING THE

WRONG PERSON. HE WAS NOT THE CHRIST
WHICH MEANT THAT FOREVER HE WAS
DOOMED. THAT WAS WHAT BOTHERED HIM.
THAT WAS THE REASON WHY HE SAID, “FAR
BE IT FROM YOU.”
IF SOMEBODY COMES FROM THE BLUE SKY
AND SAYS THAT HE IS JEHOVAH GOD, DOES
IT MEAN THAT HE EXPLODED FROM
SOMEWHERE OR HE EXPLODED FROM THE
NIGERIAN OIL BEAN TREE? DOES IT MEAN
THAT HE DID NOT COME TO THE WORLD
THROUGH THE USUAL CHANNEL WHICH IS
THE WOMB. WHEN ADAM CAME DID HE EVEN
DECLARE HIMSELF AS GOD? WHAT ABOUT
NOAH OR MOSES OR EVEN OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST? DID THEY AT ANYTIME DECLARE
THEMSELVES AS JEHOVAH GOD?
EVERYTHING THAT IS CREATED HAS SOME
CONNECTION WITH SOMETHING SOMEWHERE.
IF THERE IS A BREAK IN THE LINK, THEN
THAT THING IS NOT GOOD.
Why Christ did not offend anyone is because he
has that love. He was called a Beelzebub He
did not worry but continued to love others. He
was called a mad man but He did not get

annoyed. He was called a friend of sinners but
he still loved them. He was called a law
breaker but he loved them still.
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE FIRST BORN
AND TILL ETERNITY HE IS THE FIRST
BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD. ALL THE
INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD ARE THE
SECOND SON. WHEN YOU PUT TOGETHER ALL
THE ANGELS, THE TREES, AND ANIMALS AND
HUMAN BEINGS, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS
STILL THE FIRST BORN.(Hebrews1:4-
6/ps.2:7/Acts23:34/ps8:3-8/Ps2:8-12/
Hebrews1:7-14
Who do you think Our Lord Jesus Christ is? He
is the word of God. He is the Holy Spirit.
Whoever does not want the word of God,
whoever tells you to go away with the word of
God is His enemy. What are you sent to do?
YOU ARE TOLD TO GO FORTH AND PREACH
HIS GLORY. WHOEVER DOES NOT ACCEPT
THE WORD OF GOD IS THE ENEMY OF OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST. Whichever city or town
does not rejoice in the word of God is an
enemy of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Whoever does
not practice the word of God has reached the

wits end. All the church denominations shout
on the name of Jesus but do they receive Him?
Do they believe in Him?
Our Lord Jesus Christ overcame the world
because He loved not the world and the things
in the world. He carried out the instructions of
His Father. Know then that whatever a person
may be, whatever village or city, church
denomination or religion, spirit or angel which
does not listen to the voice of that prophet
shall be cut off from among the people.
“Do not think that I will condemn you in
anyway.” The same Jesus who you are waiting
for, whom you are shouting, the good friend of
man, He had already judged you.
TO BE A CHRIST AND TO BE A CHRISTIAN,
WHICH IS GREATER?
FROM DISCIPLES TO CHRISTHOOD:
Joh 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye
believe in God, believe also in me.

Joh 14:2 In my Father's house are many
mansions: if it were not so, I would have told
you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for
you, I will come again, and receive you unto
myself; that where I am, there ye may be
also.
For as many of you as have been baptized into
Christ have put on Christ. All of you here are
one in Christ Jesus. It is improper for you to
say that you are a disciple. It is also wrong for
you to call yourself a Christian. Since you have
put on Christ, you are Christ. All of us are
Christs. I AM SAYING THIS TO MAKE MYSELF
CLEAR TO THE WHOLE WORLD IN THIS
MATTER. TO BE A CHRIST AND TO BE A
CHRISTIAN, WHICH IS GREATER? HE HAS SAID
THAT IF WE KEEP HIS WORDS HE NO LONGER
CALLS US SERVANTS BUT FRIENDS BECAUSE
A SERVANT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HIS
MASTER IS DOING. WHEN WE KEEP HIS
COMMANDMENTS WE HAVE BECOME
CHRISTS.
Christian means disciple, servant; you are a
slave and follower. Those in that category do

not know what Christ is doing, neither do they
know anything about Him. They only follow
Him sheepishly. That is the reason they cannot
forsake sin. They drink, tell lies, fornicate and
kill; they continue to live all sorts of
abominable lives, and yet they say they are
Christians. But Christ did not drink or fornicate,
He did not tell lies and never was exasperated.
All He possessed is love. Being the Christ He
preached the word of God because He is with
the Father.
CHRIST DID NOT SAY THAT IF YOU COMPLIED
WITH HIS INSTRUCTIONS THAT YOU WOULD
BE IN SOME OTHER PLACE LIKE LAGOS, OR
LONDON; HE SAID THAT “WHERE I AM, YOU
SHALL BE ALSO” (John14:3-4). AND SO ALL OF
US IN BROTHERHOOD ARE CHRISTS AND WE
LIVE IN CHRIST.
CHRISTHOOD: (Galatians4:19/Galatians1:15-16)
If you are taught by a Professor or a Doctor in
the University and you pass the doctorate
examination, you are automatically a Doctor
yourself.

Do you see how foolish human beings are?
When you tell him that he is Christ, he will
deny it strongly, saying that he is a man. Are
you a man? So be it. We are Christs. I have told
you before that titles like prophet, apostle are
only trademarks. It is Christ who is everything.
If Peter was an apostle, does it mean that he
still remains an apostle up till now? What was
the purpose of all their self-sacrifice? Was it
not to be promoted to the office of Christhood?
We have passed from disciples to Christhood.
IN THE WORLD WHEN SOMEBODY DOES
ANYTHING, HE WILL PRAISE HIMSELF. BUT
HERE WE PRAISE THE FATHER. IT IS THE
FATHER WHO OWNS EVERYTHING. HE OWNS
US. HE OWNS THE GOSPEL. CHRIST HAS SAID,
THAT WE LIVE IN THE FATHER AND THE
FATHER IS IN US. Just as Jesus raised the
dead, so are you raising the dead. As Jesus
opened the eyes of the blind, so do you also
make the blind to see. As he healed the sick,
so do you heal the sick. As he heard the voice
of the Father, so do you hear the voice of the
Father. Everything that he was and did is
exactly what you are and do today. Go and

spread this wonderful news abroad. YOU ARE
WITH THE FATHER AND YOU CONTINUE TO
SAY UNTIL JESUS COMES BACK AGAIN. WE
ARE WORKING BOTH NIGHT AND DAY BUT
THEY SAY UNTIL HE COMES AGAIN. HE HAS
NEVER SAID A WORD AND IT FAILS TO
MANIFEST. JUST AS CHRIST WENT FROM
HOUSE TO HOUSE AND TOWN TO TOWN
PREACHING THE WORD, YOU HAVE BEEN
TOLD TO GO TO THE WORLD AND SPREAD THE
WORD OF GOD BECAUSE YOU ARE CHRISTS.
ALL OF YOU ARE CHRISTS.
EXCERPT FROM ABOUT CHRIST
Php 3:7 But what things were gain to me,
those I counted loss for Christ.
Php 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things
but loss for the excellency of the knowledge
of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have
suffered the loss of all things, and do count
them but dung, that I may win Christ,

Php 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine
own righteousness, which is of the law, but
that which is through the faith of Christ, the
righteousness which is of God by faith:
Php 3:10 That I may know him, and the power
of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his
sufferings, being made conformable unto his
death;
Php 3:11 If by any means I might attain unto
the resurrection of the dead.
Php 3:12 Not as though I had already attained,
either were already perfect: but I follow
after, if that I may apprehend that for which
also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
Rom 16:24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
be with you all. Amen.
Rom 16:25 Now to him that is of power to
stablish you according to my gospel, and the
preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the
revelation of the mystery, which was kept
secret since the world began,
Rom 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by
the scriptures of the prophets, according to

the commandment of the everlasting God,
made known to all nations for the obedience
of faith:
Rom 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through
Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
1Co 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but
to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of
words, lest the cross of Christ should be
made of none effect.
1Co 1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the
wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing
the understanding of the prudent.
1Co 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the
scribe? where is the disputer of this world?
hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this
world?

1Co 1:16 And I baptized also the household of
Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I
baptized any other.
1Co 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but
to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of
words, lest the cross of Christ should be
made of none effect.
1Co 1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the
wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing
the understanding of the prudent.
1Co 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the
scribe? where is the disputer of this world?
hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this
world?

1Co 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the
Greeks seek after wisdom:
1Co 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto
the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the
Greeks foolishness;
1Co 2:1 And I, brethren, when I came to you,
came not with excellency of speech or of
wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of
God.
1Co 2:2 For I determined not to know any
thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him
crucified.
1Co 2:3 And I was with you in weakness, and
in fear, and in much trembling.
1Co 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was
not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but
in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
1Co 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the
wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
Php 3:7 But what things were gain to me,
those I counted loss for Christ.

Php 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things
but loss for the excellency of the knowledge
of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have
suffered the loss of all things, and do count
them but dung, that I may win Christ,
Php 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine
own righteousness, which is of the law, but
that which is through the faith of Christ, the
righteousness which is of God by faith:
Php 3:10 That I may know him, and the power
of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his
sufferings, being made conformable unto his
death;
Php 3:11 If by any means I might attain unto
the resurrection of the dead.
Php 3:12 Not as though I had already attained,
either were already perfect: but I follow
after, if that I may apprehend that for which
also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
Php 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have
apprehended: but this one thing I do,
forgetting those things which are behind, and
reaching forth unto those things which are
before,

Php 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize
of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
1Co 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren,
how that not many wise men after the flesh,
not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
1Co 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish
things of the world to confound the wise; and
God hath chosen the weak things of the
world to confound the things which are
mighty;
1Co 1:28 And base things of the world, and
things which are despised, hath God chosen,
yea, and things which are not, to bring to
nought things that are:
1Co 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his
presence.
1Co 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus,
who of God is made unto us wisdom, and
righteousness, and sanctification, and
redemption:
1Co 1:31 That, according as it is written, He
that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Matthew 2 : 1 -2
“Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of
Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold,
there came wisemen from the east to
Jerusalem, Saying, where is he that is born
King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in
the east, and are come to worship him:”
Brethren, have you heard that? The question
was not about the prophet, or pastor or Elder
who is born. The wise men asked about the
king who is born. But today He is not only a
king, but also the one who reigns in heaven
and on earth. YOUR PROBLEM IN THE ENTIRE
WORLD IS THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW HIM. IT IS
EXACTLY WHAT, I HAVE COME TO REVEAL TO
YOU. THIS IS THE TIME FOR HIM TO BE
GLORIFIED.
THE REASON THE WHOLE WORLD IS LIKE
THIS IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KING, AND
MORESO THEY DO NOT KNOW OUR KING. WHY
ALL THE SHAKY THINGS ARE FALLING IS
BECAUSE IT IS TIME FOR HIS GLORY TO BE
REVEALED. The governments, industries,

church denominations and so on are all shaky.
He has come to uproot all shaky things and
show His supremacy over all creations. It is
said that on the last day there shall be joy with
those who love Him while those who do not
love Him shall weep and gnash their teeth.
This explains why some people are mourning
in the world today while others are rejoicing.
DO YOU KNOW THAT TO CALL ANOTHER
PERSON A KING MEANS PUTTING YOURSELF
INTO PROBLEMS, AND THE ACT IN ITSELF IS
INSULTING. EXCEPT YOU SURRENDER
IMMEDIATELY TO THE REIGNING KING, PRAY
FERVENTLY FOR YOURSELF. The whole of
Nigeria today, and indeed the entire world,
people are quarrelling and fighting about
traditional and chieftaincy titles. There are
series of court cases relating to kingship
positions all over the place, even reviving and
introducing those ones that had never existed.
MY QUESTION TO ALL OF YOU IS WHETHER IT
IS NOT TOO LATE FOR YOU TO STRUGGLE
FOR POSITIONS AND TITLES NOW? You have
no just cause to struggle for one title or
another. This is not even the time. Those who

had been made kings and carnal lords should
relinquish such positions and titles, otherwise
they will see what shall happen to them.
THOSE HE ALONE SHALL GIVE THE POWER TO
RULE WITH HIM ARE THERE, AND THERE ARE
THE PEOPLE WHO RECOGNIZE HIM AS THE
KING OF KINGS; THEY ARE THOSE WHO WILL
CONSTITUTE THE 144,000.
That is the reason I say always that you do not
know where you are. Why should you accept to
be crowned a king, even a chief, after seeing
this Kingdom?
When the King was born, Mary was ordered to
take the child to Egypt to escape being killed
by Herod. His movement from one place to
another was to fulfill what has been written
about Him; otherwise He would not be the one
so written about. If He was not chased from
one place to another, as written about Him, He
would not be the one.
When Herod had died and his son succeeded
him, the angel went again to Joseph and asked
him to return with the child that the person
who sought to kill Him had died. But Joseph
still had some fear since it was Herod’s son

who succeeded the father. He thought his son
might be interested in pursuing his father’s
programmes and so he refused to return but
rather went to Nazareth. That also happened
so that the scripture might be fulfilled that He
will be called a Nazarite and thus the name
Jesus of Nazareth. But is He from Nazareth?
That name was derived because He had gone
through Nazareth with His parents to fulfil the
words of the prophecy. If those things did not
go that way He would not be the one. His
parents were only following a laid down plan,
though unconsciously, and moved from one
place to another. The way a building plan is
drawn so shall the contractor follow to build
the house according to specifications. THIS IS
THE TIME FOR HIS GLORY TO BE REVEALED.
ALL OF US HAVE TO KNEEL AND BOW UNTO
HIM. THOSE WISE MEN CAME FROM
DIFFERENT PLACES AND WERE DIRECTED
BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED THAT A KING WAS
BORN. THE JOURNEY OF THE WISE MEN
SYMBOLIZES THE ONE WE ARE UNDERTAKING
TODAY. SO, ALL THAT WE HAVE TO DO IS TO
HONOR HIM, GLORIFY HIM, REJOICE WITH

HIM AND PRAISE HIS NAME ALONE.
BRETHREN, WE ARE NOT SERVING A
PROPHET, PAUL, ANGEL OR JESUS. BUT WE
ARE SERVING THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD
OF LORDS WHO HAD BEEN AND EVER SHALL
BE. The time has come for Him to be revealed.
You have been told many times that a time is
coming when we shall be singing and dancing
and rejoicing from the beginning of the year till
the end of it; there shall be no hunger, no
pains, no darkness, no sickness, no death and
no tribulation of any form. In Revelation 7:9
mention is made of the multitude of people
who are innumerable standing before the
throne, and before the Lamb....” When the
angel asked Him who are these clad in white
He replied thou knoweth; that they are those
who have washed clean their garment in the
blood of the Lamb and who stand before the
throne worshipping God day and night. That He
shall cover them with His tent and they shall
hunger nor thirst no more; the sun and rain
shall not smite them. The Son of man shall
wipe away their tears and lead them into the
living waters. That is the promise to those

people who have come out of great
tribulations.
If you compare the wisdom of God to the
wisdom of the world you have erred; and have
worked your way to perdition. If you read the
Bible without listening to the Spirit you are lost
because you will regard its contents as
baseless and unrelated to you. But if you look
into it with the wisdom and Spirit of God you
will find everything therein is right.
Many people say that Jesus was in Bethlehem
while others say He is an indigene of Nazareth
Although He was born in Bethlehem when His
parents went there to register, His journey at
maturity took Him through Galilee to fulfil what
the prophecy had said that Bethlehem is the
kindred of David. Those wise men surrendered
their wisdom, wealth and everything and
searched for the new born King they rightly
recognized.
A stroke of the cane is said to be sufficient for the
wise. I do not intend to take you further. Let those
who have ears hear, May God bless His Words.
Amen!
